Chapter 78 "The Righteous Girl"
"Lord Prefectural, this is not something I want to see. Everyone has brought people to the door, if I continue to be a turtle with a shrunken head, wouldn't it seem that I, Wang Yueyang, am afraid. β
Wang Guan: Noisy! Noisy! Fight! Let's fight! So no one can remember me!
Gu Jiu: I have to wait for the Year of the Monkey to go back!
Zhixian: If you two quarrel again, it won't make sense for me to come!
"If you are really clean, how can you be afraid of being checked, annoyance means that you are a thief!" Shi Qiusheng replied unceremoniously.
"Hmph. There are more unclean people in this world, and if you don't doubt them, you doubt me, so why can't I be angry? Brother Shi, when you came today, you know that you think that your daughter is dead and crazy, and those who don't know think that you want to take the opportunity to make a fortune! β
Wang Yueyang looked at Shi Qiusheng with a rich expression, with a look that I had already seen you through.
"Wang Yueyang, what do you think ......"
"That's it!" The magistrate walked down a step, stood between the two and said: "Not to mention that everyone looks up every day and doesn't look down, it may not be 100% accurate to talk about things alone!" It's too hurtful to say this now! β
Hearing this, Shi Qiusheng and Wang Yueyang missed their eyes at the same time, obviously no one wanted to give in first.
Wang Guan: That's right! Right! That's it, it's better not to get along with each other and fight again!
Looking at Wang Guan's expression of excitement and not daring to make too much movement, Gu Jiu turned his head in surprise. What old and dead don't get along, what is this product excited about?
"Yue Yang, this official also knows that you are busy, I won't go in today, ...... today"
Seeing that no one answered his words, the magistrate took care of himself and found a step for himself.
"That's not going to work!"
Without waiting for the county magistrate to finish speaking, Wang Yueyang pretended to be shocked and interrupted him, pulling people into the courtyard as he spoke.
"It's hard for you to come here, how can you not even drink a cup of tea! In this way, for your sake, I won't care. β
As he spoke, he instructed the guards: "Brother Shi can enter if he wants to enter, but the family can't bring it in." If a dozen people blow up the sky in the house, it will be a big loss! β
Hearing this, the magistrate no longer pushed and followed Wang Yueyang into the courtyard.
Outside, Shi Qiusheng had a cold face, stood for a few breaths and waved his hand at the family.
Wang Guan: It's over!
Gu Jiu: I don't know how long it will take for this to end.
After entering the Wang family, there was another greeting and tearing, and it was only when Gu Jiu began to drink the third pot of tea that he got to the point.
"Shop? I don't know. As he spoke, Wang Yueyang set his eyes on Wang Guan, looking and examining the stranger he met for the first time.
"Go and call the steward." Wang Yueyang took the waist card and commanded. After making sure that the waist card was correct, he turned his head to look at the magistrate, and his tone was slightly apologetic.
"Lord Zhixian, I'm really embarrassed, I really don't know about this. I'm old, and I can't do a lot of things by myself, I thought that the manager was a reliable person, but I didn't expect this to happen. Wait a minute, when he comes, I'll ask you what's going on! β
"Don't worry, the official hasn't come to you for a long time."
Gu Jiu sat on the side and listened to the two of them greeting, and suddenly noticed that a ray of scrutiny fell on him. Looking up, it was Wang Yueyang.
His heart is tight, he won't find out about me grabbing the market! No, no, I was careful enough, and it was impossible to leave a handle!
After a while, the steward arrivedβa middle-aged man with a fat figure.
"Wronged, Master Wang, I'm ...... Blame him! Wang Guan pointed at the gambler and said indignantly: "It was he who kept saying that Gu Jiu cheated his money, and he cried so pitifully that I believed him!" I'm ......"
"Stop."
Wang Yueyang raised his hand to signal Wang Guan to shut up, pointed at the gambler and said, "I don't care what happens between you and him, but I will definitely investigate the matter of you smearing the reputation of the Wang family!" β
After that, he looked at the steward again: "You just said that this waist card was suddenly lost this morning?" β
Hearing this, the steward nodded in horror.
"That's the guy who stole it?"
Hearing this, the royal official shook his head in horror and looked at the steward as if asking for help, but it was a pity that the latter did not intend to deal with him.
Seeing this scene, Shi Qiusheng was in a good mood and swallowed the melon seeds, grabbed a large handful and sat next to Gu Jiu and handed them over.
"It's okay, snort!"
Saying that, Shi Qiusheng also gave Gu Jiu a look, vividly showing what it means to watch the excitement is not a big deal.
Gu Jiu: ......
"Don't be inhibited, just use this place as a vegetable market."
Wang Yueyang's gaze swept over coldly: "Brother Shi, brother, I know that you love to marry your aunt's wife, but you, who are almost fifty years old, should also know a little bit of proportion, and you are not afraid of county jokes!" β
Gu Jiu: ...... Not only do you want to disgust Wang Yueyang, but you also want to press me into the water!
Then he looked at the magistrate and said: "Lord County Order, the so-called family affairs should not be publicized, this kid pretended to be the Wang family's rampant and domineering and disrupted the market, I will definitely give a satisfactory answer." β
Zhixian nodded, and asked Gu Jiu quite publicly: "Gu Jiu, now you can rest assured." β
Gu Jiu...... Listen to what you say!
"Rest assured what? Didn't you and Master Shi have to let me? "How can I say that I am calculating, and I came to the door with the magistrate!
The magistrate snorted lightly, and his eyebrows immediately wrung up.
"Hey, hey, it's okay for a child to talk." Wang Yueyang played a round game, and Shi Qiusheng continued to eat melon seeds.
"Lord Zhixian, two masters, now that the matter is over, I am busy with the opening of the new store, so I will go back first."
"Let's go back."
Hearing this, Qiu Sheng waved his hand just now when he forcibly asked Gu Jiu to come. The reason why he came with Zhixian was nothing more than to enter the courtyard of the Wang family under the pretense of something else, otherwise Wang Yueyang's old fritters would let him in? No matter what they say, they are also high-ranking families, so they can't stand on the street and reason with others!
After receiving the reply from Xinxin, Gu Jiu immediately left with joy in his heart. As for the royal official, what is the love.
When I returned to Yangwenzhai, business was booming.
"Business is better than I thought!"
"It's not a little bit good, it's just beyond expectations, and the traffic in a good place is just a lot."
β¦β¦
Time came in the blink of an eye, and on the day of Shi Yuyan's burial, Gu Jiu was restless early in the morning, and always felt that something would happen.
"Are you feeling unwell?" Suzuo asked worriedly.
Gu Jiu didn't have time to reply, and eight people dressed as Shi family members walked in carrying the box, and as soon as they came in, they threw the box directly on the ground.
With a bang, Gu Jiu and Ling Yang glanced at each other.
Ling Yang opened his mouth and asked, "How many people want to buy a shop?" β
"Who is Gu Jiu? Our lord asked you to go to Shi's house immediately, and our young lady is going to be buried. β
Gu Jiu: ******
"She's not here?" Seeing that no one spoke, he took the lead and looked at Gu Jiu and Ling Yanghu suspiciously: "Our master said that the one hundred taels in this box are for Gu Jiu, which is considered compensation." β
Gu Jiu: "Hmm...... It's going to take three to five days. β
"One day."
"One day!" That's not a hundred taels earned in one day.
"The master also said that there are still eighty taels after today!"
"That's a pity, she's not here." Gu Jiu lowered his head with a look of regret. She likes money, but she doesn't like to make trouble money.
"The master also said that if no one admits it, he will take away everyone from Yangwenzhai and 'Jiuyang Bookstore'."
Gu Jiu: ...... No wonder they brought eight people.
Gu Jiu sighed, nodded and said, "I am." β
"Your family's funeral, why do you want to find someone from the Gu family." Suzu asked, walking out of the counter.
"You have to ask our master, my brother is only responsible for following orders."
"That ......"
Gu Jiu pulled Ling Yang's sleeve and shook his head: "It's okay, it's just a day, I'll be back soon." β
"Shall I go with you?" Ling Yang said in Gu Jiu's ear.
"No, if there's really something going on, it's easy to run alone."
"Then be careful yourself."
β¦β¦
After placing the silver, Gu Jiu followed those people to Shi's house.
When there is still a kilometer from Shi's home, the large white almost obscures the original appearance of the building.
As the distance got closer and closer, the number of people increased, but it became quieter and quieter, and it was as if there was no sound when they walked.
Before the time came, the coffin was still in the mourning hall and had not moved.
Several people took Gu Jiu to see Shi Qiusheng, but they were stopped by Shi Yuechun halfway through.
"My sister is here, is something happening?" Shi Yuechun actively stepped forward to inquire.
"It's something to think about."
"Could it be that Shi Lao ......"
"It's Sister Jiu!" Dong'er didn't know which direction she came from, and stood between Gu Jiu and Shi Yuechun all of a sudden, as if she had unintentionally planned Shi Yuechun's words.
"Sister Dong'er is good."
"I'm still waiting." The family on the side saw that the two had the intention of chatting for a long time, and reminded impatiently.
"It's okay, I know where the master is, I'll take my sister Jiu with me!"
As he spoke, he took Gu Jiu's hand and walked forward.
Shi Yuechun rolled her eyes, it's really remarkable to you! Grab the limelight of any face!
"Wait for my sister, my sister will go with you!"
In this way, eight or nine people arrived in front of Shi Qiusheng together after a while, and Shi Qiusheng did not show a trace of shock at this scene, and he was also not interested in the positive performance of the two people.
"Master Shi, do you have something to do with me?"
"Come in and say."
"Okay."
β¦β¦
Inside the room, Shi Qiusheng sat on the Taishi chair and clicked on the tabletop, motioning for Gu Jiu to look at the paper on the table.
Gu Jiu: ...... Am I going to be literate at this time?
Picking up the paper, Gu Jiu took a quick look and saw the word "righteous girl", and his pupils dilated for a moment due to stimulation.
Is this going to make her the first bird, and then suppress those seven people? Does she look so stupid?
"Master Shi, what does this mean?"
"It's written in black and white."
"Gu Jiu doesn't understand what you want to express."
Hearing this, Shi Qiusheng put down his crossed leg, adjusted the direction of sitting, and after facing Gu Jiu, he raised his other leg.
"I don't understand...... That's literate, can read, yes. β
Then he pointed to the paper in Gu Jiu's hand and said, "There are two pages in total, the second one is a benefit, you will be very happy that you have such an opportunity after reading it!" β
"No, I'm illiterate."
"That's okay, just draw a bet here, you can't write your name or not."
