Without waiting for Gu Pingzhong to speak, Gu Pingli already said: "In the past, the family had to serve the same, but I just paid the money to buy the service, and asked the state to hire another person to serve on my behalf. Now that there are few people in the state, there is no such thing as buying labor, and it is necessary to be twenty years old to serve as a husband, but this time as long as it is enough for sixteen, it must be satisfied, which is not the situation before......"

Gu Yanzhang muttered, "That...... So what am I going to do? ”

Gu Pingzhong comforted him and said, "Don't worry, I'm helping you with your eighth uncle." After finishing speaking, he turned to Gu Pingli and said, "How about hiring a person who is almost inseparable at this time to replace Yanzhang to serve as a husband?" ”

Gu Pingli nodded and said, "That's the only way, look at the people in the family, who are the same age, almost inseparable, so ask him to pretend to be Yanzhang and go to serve." ”

Between the two of them, they helped Gu Yanzhang make up his mind.

Gu Pingzhong said: "You go back and rest first, and then I will talk to you when I have picked a good person with your eighth uncle." ”

Gu Yanzhang nodded, thanked and thanked, and then said goodbye and left.

As soon as he walked out of Tingyi Alley, his brows immediately tightened.

These two clan uncles, would they really be so kind?

Looking for someone to replace the service, it is not a strange thing at this time, many rich families will pay some money to find someone to serve on their behalf, but in the past two days, although Gu Yanzhang still can't figure out what Gu Pingzhong, the clan uncle, wants to do, he knows that the other party is determined to be uneasy and kind.

Gu Pingzhong said that he wanted to return his former assets, and he said that he would mention it when he met him for two days, and he also said that he would take himself to do business, but he always didn't see any action, just a loud mouth. On the contrary, almost every two sentences, he had to urge himself to move into his house, and he just wanted to send his subordinates over on the spot to help move things.

But if it's just for money, there's no need to do it.

Gu Yanzhang pondered for a long time, returned to the inn, and told Ji Qingling about the matter.

Ji Qingling was taken aback at first and asked, "It's not yet spring at the moment, what kind of husband is serving?!" ”

Gu Yanzhang said: "I have already sent someone to inquire, saying that I will first escort the baggage to Dingyao Mountain, and after resting the baggage, I will mine on the spot." ”

Ji Qingling gasped and said, "Isn't this the service that the third- and fourth-class households have to serve, and what does it have to do with your family?" ”

Gu Yanzhang nodded, relayed the meaning of Gu Pingzhong and Gu Pingli, and said: "I don't know what I did later, I always feel that they are making calculations, but they can't grasp it accurately." ”

Gu Yanzhang couldn't grasp it, and Ji Qingling couldn't grasp it accurately, but after all, she was a bystander, and after listening to Gu Yanzhang's ins and outs, she couldn't help but ask: "Fifth brother, the seventh uncle said that he would find someone to serve on your behalf, but if he couldn't find it, but didn't tell you, no one would go to serve that day, what would happen?" ”

What happens when there is no one to serve?

Gu Yanzhang was like an initiation, and after a while, he said: "That's a desertion......

According to the law, the evasion and capture are to be held accountable, twenty or thirty boards can't escape, the big killing rod in the yamen is smashed down, and those who are in poor health will die on the spot.

is an errand who tortures people to shed a layer of skin, and if he goes to serve with a serious injury, he can withstand it for two days, which is an eye-opener.

Gu Yanzhang is not stupid, although he knew that this uncle was very wrong, but he never expected that the other party would put himself to death if he was silent.

"Wealth is moving,......," Gu Yanzhang said in a low voice.

He thought that the other party might think of some way to take away his family property, so that he would come empty-handed and return empty-handed, but he didn't want to, the other party had already directly wanted his life.

Ji Qingling couldn't help but sit closer and asked, "Our family is now a single Ding household, and we don't need to serve, can't we go to the yamen to change the Ding book?" ”

Gu Yanzhang shook his head and said: "It's too late, we will set off the day after tomorrow, tomorrow the yamen will rest, and no one will be on duty, besides, change the Ding book, and be a guarantor-if the eighth uncle really has a heart, there will be no such thing as today." ”

Ji Qingling pinched a handful of sweat in his palms and said, "This is the day that was calculated accurately, so I told us." ”

Gu Yanzhang nodded, he still had the strength to smile, and said, "I just don't know what the seventh uncle is doing when he asks me to move to his house in such a hurry." If something happens to me, you'll be the only one left, are you trying to get your money out of you......"

Ji Qingling frowned and said: "Fifth brother, now that I have not registered in the Yamen, there is something wrong with you, and the wealth of the family has nothing to do with me - aren't you worried that I will go to the Yamen to complain and want to control me and not let me run around?" ”

She didn't know that Gu Pingzhong did say that he wanted to take her under control, not because she didn't go to the yamen to complain, but just to be his daughter-in-law.

Gu Yanzhang shook his head and said: "It's not like, it's natural to be punished by the rod for desertion, what's the use of suing?" ”

The two guessed for a long time, but they still didn't touch the edge, after all, where would ordinary people think that such a dirty person could be so disgusting.

"I'll go to the service first." Gu Yanzhang said.

At this time, only by going to the service first can the first pass be passed.

Ji Qingling hesitated a little and said, "Fifth brother, if you are enlisted, the escort baggage is still counted, then the mining ...... Where are you doing...... Besides, I always feel that they still have a backhand, if this time we live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, it would be fine, if not, they would not let it go so easily. ”

She paused, and then said: "Dingyao Mountain is so far away, and there are not a few people who died during the service, and you have really been assigned any crime at will, you don't even have a chance to confess...... Can't we think of any other way? ”

Although she said this, she also knew in her heart that it was indeed difficult to find any other way now.

apportionment of conscription, was pinched at this point in time, there is no need to say a word of nonsense, only by honestly enlisting can the time be delayed.

Gu Yanzhang knew that she was worried, he shook his head and said: "I'll go to serve first, and then I'll talk about it later, from Yanzhou City to Dingyao Mountain, there will be at least seven or eight days of hard work on the road, which is enough for me to come up with a way...... The rest are not afraid, I am only worried about you. ”

He was full of worries, and after thinking about it for a long time, he still felt uneasy, and said: "I went to Dingyao Mountain, and you are the only one left in the family, and now you don't even have a good house, and you can't do it if you want to keep the door. ”

Gu Yanzhang made up her mind, and Ji Qingling no longer objected, all she could do was try not to drag her feet.

"Let's go to the dart board and ask for a dart master." Ji Qingling said, "I'm not busy moving places, it's too late now, ask Rosin Xiang and them to buy a few more geese on the street and come back, and keep them here, all to prevent thieves and thieves." ”
