"Xiao Jiu, do you think it's possible that your aunt did it?"

After a while, the village chief pondered: "She didn't show up in the village at that time, and more importantly, it was her own brother who died, and she had enough reasons to poison her." ”

In fact, it wasn't just her, but the old man Gu and the others didn't arrive except Gu Zheqi.

"But we don't have evidence, even if we go to her, she won't admit it." Gu Cheng calmly analyzed.

"What's going on? That's it? ”

Aunt Xia's eyes swept back and forth on her man, son, and Gu Jiu, and asked anxiously.

After a period of silence, Gu Jiu returned to the table: "After a long time, there will always be clues, let's eat first." ”

"Okay, then don't drink this soup!" Aunt Xia said as she reached out and put aside the bowls of several people.

After eating, Gu Jiu and the village chief continued to make a wire drawing machine.

At noon the next day, after the time agreed with the villagers to send out a part of the silk drawing machine, Gu Jiu couldn't help but have some doubts when he looked at the dozen or so people who came.

"Did you remember the wrong day?"

"Eighty percent of the rest of the people won't come." Aunt Chen, who had just arrived, spoke.

"Why?"

"Yesterday, the villagers surrounded your cousin to ask about the experience, and your cousin said that the most important thing in this study is companionship, and he can be admitted purely because your uncle has been accompanying him and supervising his study this year. Therefore, many villagers plan to put aside the matter of making money. ”

Gu Jiu: ...... There shouldn't be any child who likes their parents to stare at their own learning all day long......

"Then it seems that the eldest lady doesn't believe it."

"That's not it, I don't believe it, auntie, it's better to earn some money to buy two meat buns for my little Bao'er."

Gu Jiu nodded and waited for a while, and after making sure that no one was coming again, he divided the wire drawing machine and demonstrated it to them in detail.

"In total, these are a few steps, and you can bring them to me directly after you finish them, and I will settle the wages for everyone on the spot."

"Okay, okay. Wait, my aunt will be able to get a few by this time tomorrow! ”

"Okay."

……

In the afternoon, Aunt Xia was concentrating on drawing silk in the house, the village chief went to the mountain to chop firewood, and Gu Jiu and Gu Cheng discussed the affairs of the academy in the house softly, with a sense of tranquility.

But at this moment, a head suddenly poked out of the wall, and when I looked around, I saw that no one had turned into the courtyard wall.

"This death cap is just easy to use!"

Wang Dahu said as he swaggered towards the main house.

The black shadow sliding in front of the window made Gu Jiu immediately alert, raised his hand to signal Gu Cheng to be quiet, and the next second the two heard Wang Dahu's voice.

There was only Aunt Xia in the main house, and after seeing Wang Dahu enter the main house, Gu Jiu and Gu Cheng hurriedly took the guys and followed them out.

"Coming back?"

Aunt Xia's voice startled Wang Dahu, who was rummaging through the box to find money, and subconsciously picked up the stool on the side and walked in the direction of the sound.

Seeing Aunt Xia, who was concentrating on pulling silk with her back to him, Wang Dahu lifted the stool and just wanted to smash it, but Gu Jiuyi turned his head and knocked him unconscious.

Bang.

Aunt Xia was startled, and with a force on her hand, she tore off the silk.

Holding the broken silk, Aunt Xia just wanted to get angry, turned her head and saw Wang Dahu lying on the ground, and suddenly stood up in shock.

"Xiao, Xiaojiu, what's going on?"

"He came in over the wall just in time for me and Brother Cheng to see, and took advantage of his sneak attack to knock him out one step ahead."

"That, that bloody ......"

Gu Jiu: "The first time I turned my head, I didn't know how much effort to use." ”

Aunt Xia nodded, and planned to go out and call the village chief back.

"Chengah, you and Xiao Jiu are at home, and your mother goes out and calls your father!"

"Huh."

Gu Cheng entered the room and looked at Gu Jiu, who was kidnapping people, and then looked at the bricks that were broken in half and the blood on Wang Dahu's face, as if he suddenly understood something.

"I was surprised just now, I'm so much older than you and I'm still a man, why are you so determined to let me go out as a backup? The co-author is deeply hidden! ”

Hearing this, Gu Jiu smiled, in fact, she just simply felt that Gu Cheng would be more difficult to follow, after all, his bones were not much stronger than those of the elderly. What did Aunt Xia say, she slipped when she went out last year and broke her leg directly.

Alas, she was so afraid that he would kill himself again.

"This blood...... Need to stop? Gu Cheng pointed to the bloody mouth on Wang Dahu's head and asked.

Gu Jiu was stunned for a moment, nodded, and immediately found a piece of cloth and pressed it on Wang Dahu's head.

"I don't usually do this, mainly because it's the first time I use this brick, and it's not easy to control the strength."

Gu Jiu tried to explain, Gu Cheng obviously didn't believe it, he had never seen someone beat someone in half since he was so big, how much strength it was.

After a while, the village chief and Aunt Xia came back in a hurry.

"Xiao Jiu, Cheng'er, where are you two?"

"Daddy."

As soon as Gu Cheng went out, the village chief immediately checked it anxiously: "You didn't hurt anything, right?" ”

"Nope."

"That's good. What about Kojiu? It didn't hurt, did it? ”

"Nope." Gu Jiu said as he dragged Wang Dahu out.

The village chief immediately frowned when he saw Wang Dahu, why is this person endless!

"Cheng'er, you go back to the room first."

After Gu Cheng left, the village chief looked at Wang Dahu, who was still unconscious, and frowned.

"Xiao Jiu, let your aunt take out the ground row car, and we will take him to the yamen!"

"But what if he beats him up and says that we are retaliating and quietly goes to Peach Blossom Village to kidnap him?"

Hearing this, the village chief sighed unwillingly: "Then you can't just let it go, right?" ”

"It's really not, but we can force him to accuse others, and it's okay to make an example of him when the time comes."

Hearing this, the village chief's brows immediately expanded: "How do you say this?" Will this Wang Dahu speak honestly? ”

"Yes!"

Gu Jiu dragged Wang Dahu into the utility room, and after making sure that there was no problem with the tie, he gagged and closed the door.

Then everyone should do what to do, and it was not until the evening of the next day that Gu Jiu opened the door of the utility room again and let a little moonlight shine in.

Hearing the movement, Wang Dahu looked very excited, whining and shaking his head, but he hadn't eaten for a day and a half, coupled with the injury on his head and being in a completely dark environment all the time, Wang Dahu's physical strength was obviously consumed.

"Hurry up and let me go! Otherwise, you will feel good when the time comes! ”

Gu Jiu chuckled: "But it's you who is uncomfortable now!" Don't worry, we'll take you to the yamen! ”

"Heh, Yamen? What crime? Didn't you do anything? Wang Dahu twisted his head and didn't admit it at all.

"But it is unreasonable for you, a person from Peach Blossom Village, to suddenly appear in our Gujia Village. Even if you don't recognize it, there will always be people who see you along the road, and even if there is no family member of you, they will definitely know that you are out, and they will all be summoned when the time comes, and there will always be people who leak their mouths. ”

"Huh!" Hearing this, Wang Dahu suddenly laughed proudly: "Lao Tzu has no one in his family, and he didn't meet anyone halfway!" ”

"Oh~That's it~"

Wang Dahu smiled proudly, and before the sentence "Don't hurry up and let Lao Tzu go" was spoken, the smile froze on his face.

"Doesn't that mean that you starved to death here and no one found out! It's a one-and-done one! ”

Gu Jiu laughed extremely wantonly, and while laughing, he wanted to stuff the cloth back into Wang Dahu's mouth.

Wang Dahu immediately panicked, twisting his body while threatening Gu Jiu: "You are going to prison!" I'm telling you, if Lao Tzu really dies here, you will pay for your life! ”

Gu Jiu shrugged: "But no one knows you're here, does they?" ”

"But...... Woo! Whining! ”

"Alright." Gu Jiu clapped his hands and stood up and walked to the door to look at Wang Dahu, who was even surrounded by his eyes, and said, "You'd better reduce your struggles, because I'm about to go back to the city, and I don't know when the next time I open this door." ”

As he spoke, he closed the door again.

In the main room, Aunt Xia looked at the broken silk with a look of pity.

"Xiao Jiu, isn't this a no-brainer?"

Gu Jiu looked at the silk in Aunt Xia's hand and said, "It can barely be counted as two copper plates." ”

"Really?"

"Hmm."

"Okay, look at what I got in the past two days!"

Gu Jiu looked at the silk handed over by Aunt Xia, and praised: "Auntie, it's very powerful, none of these fifteen are not up to standard!" ”

"Really!" Although Gu Jiu had told her before that she would definitely be fine, it was another matter to hear it with her own ears during the acceptance.

"Of course it's true, ten plus two, a total of thirty-two copper coins for silk."

Saying that, Gu Jiu took out the copper coins that had been prepared in advance from his arms and put them in Aunt Xia's hand: "In addition, these twenty coins are the money for my meals in the past few days, so I have no reason to eat and drink in vain." ”

"Oh, that's a pair of chopsticks! I won't accept these twenty sisters-in-law! Aunt Xia stuffed the twenty copper plates into her hand for a long time, and shouted into the house: "I'm going to town!" ”

"What are you doing in town at this time? It's dark outside? The village chief asked incredulously.

Aunt Xia looked at the sky and smiled embarrassedly: "Look at my brain, I was overjoyed, I forgot about it all of a sudden, and I still wanted to go to the town to buy you something delicious!" After speaking, Aunt Xia walked to the village chief with a copper coin.

"Look, I've earned it all by myself!"

"Yes, yes, that's more than I make on average."

"Not really."

Next, other villagers who received silkworm cocoons also came to Gu Jiu with silk one after another, except for a third of the unqualified ones, the rest were okay.

"This, Xiao Jiu, won't I be able to get it next time?"

The grandmother I met with several children alone when I was in the red potato last time looked at the silk she had made, and then looked at other people's, and said carefully.

Gu Jiu paid a deposit for these silkworm cocoons when he took them, and if he couldn't call a certain amount, he would inevitably deduct money, so it was definitely best to choose someone with a high success rate to do it.

But when he saw the old grandmother, Gu Jiu still shook his head.

"Yes, but grandma, your error rate is indeed a bit high, and the cocoons for you are all carefully selected by me, and it stands to reason that there will be no mistakes caused by the cocoons themselves. But everyone has a first time, and next time you can follow everyone to take it, but if it is like this for a long time, it will definitely not work. ”

"No, it won't! You don't know that grandma was meticulous when she was young, but now she is getting older, and her eyes are not good, but don't worry, next time will definitely be better than this time! ”

"Okay."

Those who received the money were very happy, as for those who couldn't get it after listening to Gu Zhiqi's words, although they said that these money children were the most important, they began to come to Gu Jiu one after another in private to ask when they would come back next time.

Gu Jiu answered one by one, and after sending everyone away with a smile, he came to the utility room again......
