On the second day, the county magistrate personally visited the door again, and unlike yesterday, this time a horse-drawn cart was loaded with many vegetables, melons, fruits, and various meats, as well as several jars of fine wine, and the aroma of wine was overflowing.

Gu Shengchao entertained the county order in the front yard living room.

The county magistrate waited for Gu Shengchao to sit down before he sat sideways to the side, and said with a smile on his face: "Lord Gu is really hard here, the lower official specially sent some melons, fruits and vegetables to talk about the heart, and a few cooks and subordinates came with the lower official, and they stayed here for a few days, so that the adults can rest assured on official business, so they don't have to worry about three meals a day."

"I'm afraid it's not appropriate to do this, the four of us can take care of ourselves." Gu Shengchao was reluctant to trouble others.

The county magistrate sneered and said, "It is the honor of the lower officials to return to the countryside of Lord Gu, how can you say that it is troublesome."

Seeing that there was no one at the door, he said in a low voice: "Two years ago, Xia Guan was in office, when Zhao Yinhu was assassinated, many people asked Xia Guan to severely punish the murderer, Xia Guan considered that Zhao Yinhu was unkind and unrighteous first, and it was really a loyal and filial act to avenge his father, so he deliberately suppressed the case and did not pursue it. The sincerity of the lower officials, I hope that the ancient adults will be compassionate."

When the county magistrate said this, Gu Shengchao immediately understood his intentions.

is nothing more than to tell Gu Shengchao that you have today's achievements, which is inseparable from my magnanimity that day, if you were arrested at that time, how could you be as prosperous as you are today.

Gu Shengchao also understood in his heart that he pushed Ding Ying away with a cart overnight that day, and it was the lazy government of the county order that he had to get by and didn't chase him, not because of the disputes in the rivers and lakes and let it go.

If he is arrested that day, the best result will be exile to the border, and from then on he will live in a barren land and suffer, and there will be no later adventures.

"It's not a secret, the murderer of the day was my Gu Shengchao, thanks to the county order for raising his noble hand, Gu Mou can have today's achievements." Gu Shengchao also told the truth, and while generously admitting it, he showed his trust in the county order.

"Lord Gu is polite, where does the lower official dare to climb high." The county magistrate was overjoyed when he heard this, and knew that this backer was absolutely solid, at least he would not hurt himself.

The county magistrate got up to say goodbye, but Gu Shengchao stopped him: "Please stay, is there a bigger money village in the county, my old house has some gold and silver soft and soft, because it is hidden in the secret room and no one has found it, can it be exchanged for a silver ticket for easy carrying."

"Master Gu commands." The county commander came outside and told his subordinates to hurry up and go to the county seat, and inform the treasurer of the money village to come as soon as possible.

An hour later, several people arrived.

The county magistrate introduced: "These are the two most powerful money houses in our county, I don't know where the treasures of the adults are?"

"Come with me."

Gu Shengchao led the way to the bedroom on the second floor, opened the mechanism of the dressing mirror, and revealed the glittering gold and silver jewelry hidden behind him.

The county magistrate and the treasurer of the money village both widened their eyes in shock, and they couldn't believe that such a seemingly abandoned mansion could hide such a large number of treasures.

The two shopkeepers squatted in front of the dark room to discuss for a moment, and one of them arched his hand and said, "Lord Hui, it's just that our small place has limited financial resources, and my two families each gave 10,000 taels of silver tickets, and no matter how much they are, they really can't get it."

Twenty thousand taels!

Lu Jin, who was following behind, felt that his head was chaotic, and he couldn't count how much 20,000 taels was.

"Yes, as you say." Gu Shengchao readily agreed: "You can find a car to pull it away today, and the silver ticket can be delivered at a convenient time."

The two shopkeepers looked at each other: "Your Excellency, don't you rest assured that we will take it away?"

Gu Shengchao glanced at the county order, and said with a smile: "What are you afraid of, there is a county order as a guarantor, and I am afraid that you will not be able to escape?"

"I admire the heart of my lord." The shopkeeper of the money village was also afraid of long nights and dreams, so he hurriedly loaded the car and pulled it away.

At the same time, the county commander took his leave and escorted them back to the county seat safely with his own guards.

Gu Shengchao was busy receiving here, but Bai Lihuan didn't see anyone all day, except for eating, he spent all his time in the lobby studying the residues of those drugs.

Because of the lack of equipment at hand, Feng Nanjing often had to go to the county seat to buy, sometimes going back and forth several times a day, his face was also blackened by the scorching sun, and he could shake out the soil before going to bed.

Fortunately, the prefectural order can be made every day

Fresh vegetables and fruits were sent, cooking and cleaning were served by special personnel, and Lu Jin was also free to practice with peace of mind.

Two days later, the shopkeeper of the money village came to visit and sent 20,000 taels of silver tickets.

When they left, Gu Shengchao called Lu Jin to come to his house and roughly divided the stack of silver tickets, one of which was pushed to Lu Jin: "You have been wronged with me, these are for you."

Lu Jin didn't accept it, standing aside and tears rolled down again.

"What's the matter, the silver ticket still bites?" Gu Shengchao felt inexplicable.

"I know, you gave me the silver ticket just to drive me away, and I can't come back! I don't want to leave, I want to study with you and practice together." Lu Jin whimpered, unable to cry.

So that's the case, Gu Shengchao couldn't cry or laugh, he shook his head speechlessly and said, "You misunderstood me, I won't drive you away, I will keep you after you collect the silver ticket, if you don't accept it, I will be angry."

"What?" Lu Jin looked up at Gu Shengchao and felt incredible.

Gu Shengchao looked at her and said seriously, "I don't care what reason you follow me, in short, I owe you too much, and I should compensate for it. Besides, your mother is not in good health and needs to buy medicine to see a doctor, why don't you want the money you earn by virtue of your ability for the sake of your mother?"

"I ......" Lu Jin was speechless.

The silver ticket of 20,000 taels is on the table, even if it is half, 10,000 taels is an amount that most people cannot reach.

To say that you are not tempted is to be absolutely self-deceptive.

"But isn't it too much?" Lu Jin snorted.

Gu Shengchao smiled softly, "You can take whatever you want, and I am willing to take it all."

Lu Jin hesitated and took only one of them, Gu Shengchao's eyes were sharp, and he saw clearly that it was only the smallest amount of one hundred taels.

Gu Shengchao sighed, picked out a thousand taels and handed it to her, and ordered, "You take this well, otherwise I will be really angry."

Lu Jin carefully put it away and said gratefully, "Thank you, Big Brother Gu."

After saying that, the tears fell again.

Gu Shengchao was completely petrified: "You, can you stop crying, let outsiders see it and think I'm bullying you!"

"I just can't help it." Lu Jin took out a handkerchief and wiped his tears with a smile, but the tears fell down again.

Gu Shengchao put away the silver ticket: "Okay, you cry slowly, don't let outsiders see it."

Lu Jin's mind was hard to guess, Gu Shengchao walked out of the room, leaving her alone to slowly restrain her emotions.

He walked towards the front yard, wondering how his righteous brother Bailihuan was doing, but saw Feng Nanjing leading the horse and walking back quickly, holding a woman on the horse's back.

The woman was leaning over the saddle, as if she had been seriously wounded.

"Uncle Shi, help me carry this person in, she has been poisoned, let my master help detoxify her." Feng Nanjing saw Gu Shengchao and said anxiously.

Gu Shengchao walked quickly and helped Feng Nanjing lift the woman off the saddle.

When he saw the woman's face, Gu Shengchao was shocked and said, "It's Xiang Hongji of the Poison Sect, what's wrong with her?"

"It's hard to say, she is trying to save my injuries, so let's let the master see if he can treat them first." Feng Nanjing picked up Xiang Hongji and ran into the lobby.

"What's wrong?" Bai Lihuan heard the movement and opened the door.

"Master, save her." Feng Nanjing ran into the house and lay Xiang Hongji flat on the table.

Bai Lihuan gave her a heavy face and said, "This person's breath disorder is worrying about his life, so let's prescribe a prescription for you, and hurry up to the county town to grab the medicine, but there are a few flavors of medicine that are too precious, and it is not enough to be afraid of the silver on the teacher."

"I have." Gu Shengchao casually took out a silver ticket, and the face value was one thousand taels.

"That's enough." Bai Lihuan took the silver ticket and handed it to Feng Nanjing: "Be sure to rush back before the end of the night tonight, remember."

"Understood." Feng Nanjing hurriedly ran out and rode away.

Baili Huan looked at Xiang Hongji and pondered for a moment, then glanced at Gu Shengchao and said, "Hey, Lu Jin, that girl, I need her help."

"I'm stronger than her, so the eldest brother said what

Do it!" Gu Shengchao thought that he was definitely more useful than Lu Jin.

Baili Huan glanced at him and said coldly: "This person is poisonous and angry, he must be naked with acupuncture, supplemented by true qi to protect his body, two big men surround a naked woman, is it appropriate?"

"Oh, let's come on, Sister Lu Jin!" Gu Shengchao ran out with a red face and called for reinforcements.
