Chapter 168: Search

Gu Chengyu has a headache, let's do this! In fact, the one in charge is innocent, but who told him to take charge of everything on the ship? If they get off the ship, where will they go to the owner of the ship to return the money? Therefore, it is normal to entangle stewards.

Sun Xian and Ye Zhiqiu didn't want to pay attention to it, but it didn't work if they ignored it, those boatmen had already surrounded them.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Listen to the next word! "Sun Xian is the oldest in it, and he is quite sleek in life. So when he saw Gu Chengyu speechless looking at the sky, he could only stand up. It is definitely not possible to count on Ye Zhiqiu, how can Ye Zhiqiu be a shy person, how can he mediate?

Sun Xian analyzed the current situation, and asked the steward to promise that when he arrived in Jingyuan Mansion, he would definitely return everyone's silver. As for compensation for damages, forget it! After all, everyone was not injured, in fact, he was not embarrassed to say it, it was those who hid in the house and refused to come out screamed the loudest.

When there is danger, he hides, and when he has money, he jumps out and provokes everyone to make trouble.

If you are injured, let the steward go to the town and ask Lang Zhong to take a look. In addition, send a letter to the main family as soon as possible, so that the main family can take out the money that should be paid. The boat will stop here for a few days, and although the deceased will be taken away by the government office, they will still notify their families to come and collect the bodies, and by the way, they will receive the compensation money.

In the end, if you want to get off the ship here, wait for the owner of the ship to send the silver, and then come and get it, but the ship will not leave anyway. After a lot of tongues, everyone gradually calmed down.

Even Gu Chengyu quietly gave Sun Xian a thumbs up, and Sun Xian couldn't cry or laugh. In fact, Gu Chengyu just didn't bother to care, he was annoyed.

In front of everyone, Gu Chengyu took out three hundred taels of silver from his arms and handed it to the steward.

"This time I encountered the Jiang bandits, and the people who sacrificed are worthy of our admiration. The money here, please give a share to their families, and it can be regarded as doing a small part. ”

Seeing this, the steward was also a little moved, Gu Chengyu is a man, but he is different from them. can take out three hundred taels of silver to support his family, and he is also a person of noble character.

"Gu Juren is righteous, and the little ones thank Gu Juren for them."

Don't underestimate the three hundred taels, take the boatman as an example, it's only about two taels of silver a month. These dead shipwrights can almost pay about twenty taels of silver for each one, which is still the mercy of the master's family. If the main family is mean, it is common to give only more than ten taels.

After all, being a shipwright is a dangerous job, and it was all agreed before getting on the ship. It's tiring, and you have to be a thug at the same time, and the risks on Egami are unpredictable. It is not the boatman's fault that he will encounter the Jiang bandits, according to the previous contract of the long-term worker, it will be up to the sky to be able to give twenty taels.

Why do so many people do such a dangerous job? There is a lot of silver in the moon! If you go to the dock to resist the bag, you can only get more than ten yuan a day, and only three or four hundred yuan a month, which is still a situation where you live every day. And although the ship is dangerous, the two taels of silver per month are really exciting!

In the past, the ships would fight the river bandits, so the danger was not great. This time, after all, it was an accident.

Although the steward's eyes were hot on the three hundred taels of silver, he knew that he would not be able to take it. There were a lot of people on the boat who saw it, and he couldn't swallow it if he wanted to. Besides, he didn't want to do it, and it would be a thunderbolt to take this silver.

"It's a lift! One shot is three hundred taels! "Some people look red, but they just talk about it, they just envy the master who has silver!

"Will the master run out of money? Look at his clothes, and you know that people have money! It must be the son and son of a big family! ”

Yao Mengxian was sitting on the edge of the bed doing embroidery work, she just ordered the two guards to take Gao's mother out to buy some things, and by the way, she invited a Lang Zhong to see Lianxin and Uncle Li. It's just that it's noisy outside at this moment, and I don't know what's going on?

"Girl! Don't embroider, it's a waste of eyes to do embroidery on the ship! "Lianxin came in with a tray, which was the rice porridge boiled by Gao's mother in the morning, and some side dishes and a plate of steamed buns, a plate of snacks,

"Lotus Heart? What's wrong? Didn't it make you recuperate on the ship for a few days? Yao Mengxian frowned, Lianxin was kicked in the heart by Jiang bandits before, and I don't know if she was injured internally.

"The slave felt in good spirits, and she had strength all over her body. Engong's pill is really extraordinary, how can he still use to invite Langzhong? It's okay to lie on the bed left and right. Lian Xin put the breakfast in her hand on the table one by one, and in her words, she was full of admiration for Gu Chengyu.

In the past, Lianxin had heard Gao's mother say it, and after knowing that Gu Chengyu had killed the Jiang bandit and saved her girl, she felt that she was brave. Especially after knowing that Gu Chengyu is still this year's township test Xie Yuan, he worships it even more.

"It's always better to be careful when you're hurt! Since you can't lie down in bed, you just come down and walk, and you don't have to come to serve so early. Yao Mengxian smiled lightly.

Qing Dai on the side watched the interaction between the master and servant and bit her lip. The girl has not been as good to her since that day.

I used to ask her to inquire about the news, but now I only let her serve by my side, and I don't let her go out easily. It's normal to serve only closely, after all, Lianxin is injured, and she is the only girl here. However, she always felt that the girl seemed to be very cold to her, and although she was also smiling, she did not smile so warmly at Lianxin.

"Didn't Gao's mother come back? When the slave and maid came from there, they heard that they were not allowed to go out at this time. Lianxin didn't see Gao's mother in the room, and felt a little strange.

"What's going on?" Hearing this, Yao Mengxian stopped the needle and thread in her hand and asked suspiciously.

"The slave and maid don't know, it may be related to the river bandits on the original boat." Lianxin shook her head, stepped forward to clean up the sewing basket, and fetched water for the master to clean his hands and prepare for dinner.

Yao Mengxian thought about it for a while, and then she was relieved. It may be that Jiang Bandit's matter is too big, and if they report it, these low-grade officials can't be the master. Maybe I'll have to check on the ship, and I can't go out, it's only temporary.

Gao's mother hurriedly entered the house, "Girl! Those officials are going to come in and search, how can this be good? ”

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside, and it was not far from here.

When Yao Mengxian heard this, she turned around and took out a post from the cage she was carrying.

"Gao's mother showed them her father's post, and they would know." No matter how she is the concubine of the Guogong Mansion, how can those officials enter her house?

"Hey! The old slave is going! "Uncle Li's leg is injured and she has difficulty walking, so she can only go out.

Gu Chengyu asked Mingmo and the others to pack the cage and package, and prepare to leave early.

"My lord, what do you think of this post?" An official messenger gave the post to Lord Tian, who took it and was immediately surprised, he didn't expect that there were family members of the Guogong Mansion on the ship?
