Chapter 62: Reckoning
() "Awake?" Gu still looked stunned, not at all like the usual humble son.
During this time, he was really suffering, he had to be busy with the store in the morning, and he had to take care of her and the eldest brother, and there were still aunts in the village to worry about, how much pressure did he have to endure to persevere.
Without saying a word, Xia Ting took his hand and walked towards the eldest brother.
Gu Yanbo looked at their intertwined hands.
When Xia Ting entered, Gu Lin moved by himself, intending to sit up, Xia Ting let go of Gu's hand, gave Gu Lin a pillow, and helped him lean back.
Gu looked at the movements of the two of them cooperating with each other, as well as the unconscious smile when their eyes met, and his heart was sour. Gradually, after many days, his typical smile was raised, and his eyes gradually regained their brilliance.
"Erwa, this time, you've worked hard." Looking at his younger brother, who was thinner than before, Gu Lin felt a little guilty, as the eldest brother, he let his younger brother bear so much. Thankfully, he's back.
The emotions between the two brothers do not need too many words, just a glance to understand the meaning of each other.
"I knew that day would come."
It seems that the bull's head is not in the horse's mouth, but in fact, Gu is not surprised that Gu Lin woke up, he knows what a tough person his brother is, and he doesn't believe that such a little thing can knock him down.
The two brothers looked at each other and smiled.
Xia Ting silently retreated, leaving the space for the two brothers.
Well, her old bones that haven't moved for so long are hard, it's time to exercise.
Xia Ting was full of energy, and greeted the guests naturally when he saw them entering. When I was busy, I wanted to salted fish, but when I really salted fish lay down, I realized that it was so happy to be busy.
Before, due to the lack of manpower, Malatang was changed to only open at noon, and unintentionally planted willows and willows, which actually formed a "hunger marketing" in disguise, and now there are not too many people.
Seeing that all the empty tables in the front hall were full, she finally became free. Only then did he remember that the news that the eldest brother had woken up and didn't tell Qiu Ye, Xia Ting walked to the street, looked around, and then walked into a relatively narrow and gloomy alley.
"Eh, little brother? Can you do me a favor? Xia Ting half-bent over and said to the little beggar who was curled up on the ground.
The little beggar rolled over, muttered, and ignored him.
"I want to ask you to help me bring a message to the shopkeeper of Dexing Building, just say, thanks to the love, I have recovered." Xia Ting didn't name her surname, she still knew that there were some things that she couldn't say too clearly, so she didn't reveal who it was.
If it was the shopkeeper of Dexing Building, he should be able to understand. If the shopkeeper knows, Qiu Ye will naturally know.
The little beggar who had been ignoring Xia Ting just now suddenly stretched out a white and slender hand, kicked up two fingers, Xia Ting understood, took out 2 copper plates from his pocket, put them to him, and then left.
It's a unique scenery in the town. Whether it was the time when I fought for 10 silver back, the person I hired, or the person who sent the message this time. They all have one thing in common, that is, they can do what they promised, they can do it 100%, and they don't have to be afraid of breaking their promises.
After all, their reputation is good in the town, they are not good dressed and identified, but they are not disliked by the townspeople. Xia Ting faintly felt that he
There must be a core of people behind them, too well-trained to act like an individual.
By around 2 o'clock in the afternoon, the people who had lunch were basically settled, and Xia Ting began to clean up the mess.
Xia Ting, who was wiping the table, saw an extra pair of shoes next to the foot of the table, she looked up and teased, "Yo, Da Shao came so early." ”
"It seems that the recovery is good, I brought Ye Lao here, you can check Brother Gu's body." Qiu Ye raised his eyebrows, a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Xia Ting saw Ye Lao behind Qiu Ye at this time, and quickly let his body lead the way in. She has great respect for doctors, especially Ye Lao.
Xia Ting and Qiu Ye stood behind the people, and just as everyone was watching Ye Lao check on Gu Lin intently, Qiu Ye whispered, "That incident...... I'm pretty much there. The evidence on hand is sufficient, and it is always available to you if you want it. Also, the yafu has done a good job. ”
Xia Ting's eyes flashed, and he understood what he meant.
If people don't offend me, I don't offend anyone. This time, it was the bandits who hit the gun on their own, so don't blame her for being polite.
Qiu Ye's speed is really fast, as soon as she said that before, he has prepared a lot of things she has to do.
"And how am I going to cooperate with you now?"
Qiu Ye opened the fan with a "snap" and shook it symbolically: "You tell me everything that happened that day and go to the Yafu to file a case." Leave the rest to us, and we'll give you an explanation. ”
Qiu Ye went to the scene of the incident to collect evidence that day, so a large amount of evidence was preserved, and the bodies of those bandits did not have time to be cleaned up, and they just left evidence. As long as Xia Ting, the victim, is identified and detained, those people will be sentenced to prison immediately.
Conquering the base camp of the bandits in one fell swoop, it is necessary to take it step by step, and this matter is not in a hurry. However, this has nothing to do with Xia Ting.
As soon as Xia Ting's whispering was over, Ye Lao had already finished the consultation, touched his beard and said, "His body is recovering well, this is really a miracle." If you don't die, there will be a blessing, young man! ”
The follow-up is some precautions, as well as conditioning matters, Xia Ting wrote them down one by one. After sending Ye Lao away, she gathered a few men together for a meeting~
The eyes of several men were staring at her, and she pretended to cough twice before she began, "That's right." Because we met a bandit this time, we didn't have time to report to the official in order to escape for our lives. Fortunately, Qiu Ye helped and made things progress. Now, it's time to send me or my eldest brother to report to the official and file a case. I thought that we would all have to go back and forth on that road in the future, avoiding the first year of junior high school, and not the fifteenth. In the event of retaliation in the future, we may not be as lucky as this time. So, I want to report to the official, what do you think? ”
Xia Ting told the simplest pros and cons of this matter and saw what the two brothers thought.
As long as they determine the way to open Malatang in the town, the only way to go, must eliminate the hidden dangers, otherwise they will leave themselves a fixed ~~ time ~ fried ~~ bomb.
"I think so. However, this thing should have been around for a long time, and if we shoot a bird in the head, will we be retaliated against? "Gu has his own considerations. On the surface, it is indeed good to report to the official, and it is much more convenient for them to ship goods back and forth in the future, but the hidden danger is also very great. If you report to the official,
It's equivalent to having a face with those bandits.
For a moment, everyone was silent.
After a while, Gu Lin broke the silence: "That's it, I'll report to the official, and you don't care about this matter in the future." There is a debtor and a debtor, so don't get involved. ”
Gu didn't say anything, but judging from his tightly knit eyebrows, he also didn't agree with his eldest brother's approach.
The eldest brother's approach is very big, and he wants to take care of everything single-handedly.
"Those bandits are all desperate people, and they would rather kill a thousand by mistake than let one go. Even if you want to take it on alone, I'm afraid you can't. Xia Ting dispelled Gu Lin's thoughts.
"Actually......" The six eyes looked at Qiu Ye in unison, and it was rare to see his serious face, "The matter of reporting to the official can not be made public." ”
Seeing Xia Ting's puzzled eyes, he explained: "The bandits who have been entrenched in the mountain for a long time come out from time to time to do things, and solving this matter is a big problem for the magistrate. Solving this problem can be said to be a confidential matter, which can be kept out of the public. Let this matter be kept secret, and when it is time to break through it in one fell swoop, then talk about it. ”
Xia Ting nodded.
In fact, it just so happened that they wanted to break through this bandit's lair and needed a fuse, and she just happened to meet and also intended to settle accounts, and their ideas coincided. Lend her hand to attack.
This is a good way, but Gu Lin still considered Xia Ting's safety problem, he still chose to stand in front of his daughter-in-law: "In this case, then I will be the one who reports the official." ”
That night, Qiu Ye brought a middle-aged man in civilian clothes over, looking at the temperament, it should be the master.
Gu Lin and Xia Ting recounted what happened that day, especially the routes and traps, so that they could take precautions in advance. After the case was filed, the man asked a few more questions before leaving.
Xia Ting thought of those bandits...... They should all be dead. After realizing that she also killed someone, the whole person was in chaos. But the man tonight never questioned their actions, or rather, deliberately avoided talking about them?
Xia Ting was lying on the bed thinking wildly, and his thinking was very leapfrogging.
This time, thanks to Qiu Ye's help, this kindness is not over. Moreover, she had thought that Qiu Ye was the son of some nobles in the capital, but she didn't expect that his power would be greater than she imagined. I only hope that in the future, there will be no conflict in their positions.
Since this incident, Xia Ting has not seen Qiu Ye for a month, as for the matter of dealing with the bandits, she can occasionally know something from the mouths of the guests, it is said that the thieves' nest has been taken away, and some say that it is an illusion, the three holes of the cunning rabbit...... And what Xia Ting wants is to catch their head and let him receive the punishment he deserves. However, there is no news so far, the bandits should have some skills, I wonder if Qiu Ye will be in danger?
This matter is generally praised by the people, after all, the bandits are too rampant, and it is the interests and peace of the people that are endangered. Of course, it is good that officials can take the initiative to govern, only a small number of people are afraid of offending the bandits, angering the bandits, and making their lives more difficult.
As for Xia Ting's worry about revealing his identity, it didn't happen, the days were very dull and warm, and everything began to go in a good direction again.
"Hey! This meat, the ministry will give me a portion, and give me all the delicious food! Xia Ting lowered his head and busied himself with strings, and a rude and disgusting voice exploded above his head unexpectedly.
