Chapter 124 Old acquaintance

 Gu Dechang opened the door and saw Gu Huayu. He looked behind Gu Huayu and saw that there was no one behind him, so he asked, "Xiaoyu, did you come back alone?"

Gu Huayu entered the house, "No, Uncle Huang sent me to the door. Grandpa, haven't you rested yet?"

Gu Huaidong sighed: "If something like this happens at home, how can I sleep?"

Gu Defang looked at Gu Huayu with a worried face and asked, "Xiaoyu, what should we do next?"

I don’t know since when, the Gu family has always wanted to hear Gu Huayu’s side of the story when something happened, and Gu Huayu has become the backbone of the family.

Gu Huayu expressed her thoughts and then asked: "Grandpa, do you think this is okay?"

 Gu Huaidong nodded, "I think it's okay, what do you two think?" Gu Huaidong looked at his two sons.

Gu Defang nodded and said: "I am just a farmer and don't understand anything. Xiaoyu has read a lot of books and knows a lot. If Xiaoyu says it works, then it must work. I listen to Xiaoyu."

Gu Dechang thought for a while and said: "The other party wants to use power to bully others. This method is really good. At least it will make him dare not mess around. Let's do what Xiaoyu said. Tomorrow morning, my eldest brother and I will go to the county government office to complain and let the county government Let him go."

Gu Huayu continued: "This is the best way I can think of now. When I go to the county government tomorrow, there may be emergencies.

 Uncle, you should be aware of the situation and adapt accordingly. If the uncle doesn't know how to deal with it, he can just wipe away his tears and complain. Let Dad handle the rest.

The eldest sister is in poor health and needs to take medicine every day, so she cannot stay in it for a long time.

So, tomorrow you must kill the shop and it has nothing to do with the eldest sister. Let them release her. Let’s rescue the eldest sister first. This is the worst plan. "

Gu Dechang nodded and said, "Okay, I understand. I'll write the petition right now."

Gu Huayu nodded and said to Gu Huaidong and Gu Defang: "There is a tough battle to be fought tomorrow, so my grandfather and uncle will go to bed first.

  Don’t think too much, it’s useless. Take a good rest and recuperate your energy, then you will have the strength to fight against the evil people. "

Gu Huaidong nodded peacefully, "Okay, if you listen to the whisper, go and have a rest now."

After Gu Huaidong and Gu Defang left, Gu Dechang said: "Xiaoyu, go to sleep too."

Gu Huayu said good night to Gu Dechang, returned to her room, entered the space and printed out a stack of Han's life.

Gu Huayu fell asleep when she was ugly and woke up at the beginning of the month.

After getting up and washing up, Gu Huayu went to the dining room and met Gu Chenglin at the door of the dining room who was returning from buying breakfast.

 “Good morning, third brother!” Gu Huayu greeted.

Gu Chenglin raised the breakfast in his hand and said, "I bought the fried buns you like."

 “Thank you, third brother.” The two brothers and sister entered the dining room one after another.

Gu Chenglin put out the breakfast and looked up to see Gu Huaidong and Gu Defang entering the door one after another. Called: "Grandpa, daddy come over for breakfast."

Gu Huaidong walked up to the front desk and sat down, picked up a bun with chopsticks and put it in the bowl in front of him, and asked: "Xiaoyu, can I go to the Yamen with De Fang and the others?"

Gu Huayu shook her head, "No, just grandpa waiting at home."

“Dad, if you listen to Xiaoyu, just wait at home.” Gu Defang agreed with Gu Huayu.

Gu Dechang echoed: "I can't help even if I go. Since you're gone, we still have to worry about your safety, so why not just wait at home."

Gu Huaidong thought about it and nodded in agreement, "Okay!"

"Xiaoyu, what about me? What can I do?" Gu Chenglin raised his head and looked at Gu Huayu.

Gu Huayu swallowed the fried buns in her mouth and said, "Third brother, come with me. Let's go to the county government office to watch the excitement."

"I'm going too. I want to see how the dog officer talks nonsense in front of everyone." Gu Chengjuan came in with the cooked porridge.

Gu Huayu shook her head, "The second sister takes care of my grandfather at home and prepares the eldest sister's medicine."

Just when Gu Chengjuan was about to speak, Gu Chenglin said first, "Xiaojuan listens to Xiaoyu."

Gu Chengjuan glanced at Gu Xiaoyu, nodded and said: "Okay, I'll wait for your good news at home."

 After breakfast, Gu Dechang handed the petition to Gu Huayu, "Xiaoyu, take a look, is there anything that needs to be changed?"

Gu Huayu took the document and looked at it carefully.

 After a while, Gu Huayu raised her head and handed the petition to Gu Dechang, "I think it's very good, no need to change it. It's almost done, let's go over."

They went to the county government together. On the way, Gu Huayu met Su Min. Su Min nodded to her, "Girl, everyone is here, what should we do next?"

Gu Huayu handed a stack of Han Xinghua's life profiles to Su Min and said: "Give it to everyone and spread it out."

Su Min looked down and his eyes lit up. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay! I understand."

Gu Chenglin looked at Su Min's back and asked, "Xiaoyu, is this method really feasible?"

Gu Huayu swung her arms and walked forward, shaking her head and saying, "I don't know either, let's give it a try."

The group of people walked to the gate of the county government office. Fugui came over and said, "Miss Xiaoyu, the shopkeeper said everything has been arranged."

Gu Huayu nodded and said, "Okay, I understand."

At the same time, on the upper floor of Yuelai Tea House opposite the county government office, the waiter saw the Gu family and leaned over to report to the people sitting drinking tea: "Sir, Dr. Gu and his family have arrived at the gate of the county government office. It looks like, They seem to be complaining. What should we do next?”

The young man saw Gu Defang going to complain and quickly added.

The person sitting drinking tea was Mr. Shen, the manager of Chang'an Restaurant.

After listening to the boy's words, shopkeeper Shen stood up and walked to the window, watching Gu Defang beat the drum one after another.

Shopkeeper Shen frowned slightly and said after a moment, "Let's take a look first."

 When the master left, he solemnly told him that he would take good care of the doctor in the future.

 After Doctor Gu entered the city, he asked people to keep an eye on her movements secretly.

In the county government office, Magistrate Chen was having breakfast in the backyard. A servant hurriedly entered the house and reported, "Master, Mr. Shi is here to report that someone is beating drums to complain about injustice. Please move to the front hall to handle the case."

Aunt Xing sat down at the bottom and said with a pout, "I haven't eaten yet, and you come here to urge me. Are you going to let me eat?"

Mrs. Zheng glanced at Aunt Xing with a cold expression. Aunt Xing wrinkled her nose and glanced back at Mrs. Zheng provocatively, but did not take Mrs. Zheng seriously.

Mrs. Zheng ignored Aunt Xing, turned to the maid next to her and ordered: "Serve the master to change his clothes."

The maid bent her knees in response and turned around to get ready.

Magistrate Chen sighed and said impatiently: "Really, I can't even eat in peace."

 After saying that, Magistrate Chen stood up to change his clothes helplessly. Aunt Xing saw Magistrate Chen getting up and followed suit.

Magistrate Chen saw this and said, "What are you doing with me? I'll eat you alive."

Aunt Xing bent her knees and said, "Thank you, sir. I've eaten well."

Magistrate Chen was anxious, "How much do you eat? You feed two people with one mouth. If you don't eat well, what will happen to my son? Is he going to be hungry?"

Magistrate Chen turned around and saw Mrs. Zheng who was silent. Then he waved his hand and said, "That's it. If you don't want to eat, just don't eat. Someone, please make a new portion of today's breakfast and send it to Aunt Xing's yard."

Aunt Xing bent her knees and thanked her.

Magistrate Chen stepped forward to help him up, and said warmly: "How many times have I told you? Why can't you remember it? You are heavy, so these formalities are omitted, but you don't listen."

Aunt Xing replied with lowered eyebrows and eyes: "Thank you, sir, but the etiquette must not be messed up."

Magistrate Chen patted Aunt Xing's hand and said, "Come on, I know you are the best behaved person. Go back and rest. I will come over to see you after I finish my business."

Aunt Xing slightly bent her knees in greeting, glanced at Mrs. Zheng with raised eyebrows, held her waist with one hand, touched her belly with the other, and left in a majestic manner.

After Aunt Xing left, Magistrate Chen said to Zheng, "Peiqin, please be patient a little longer."

Zheng's smile did not reach her eyes, and she did not answer County Magistrate Chen's words. She just said lightly: "Master, please change your clothes. It will be bad if you keep people waiting for too long."

Magistrate Chen laughed dryly and said, "Okay, okay, listen to my wife, business matters are important."

 After County Magistrate Chen changed his clothes and left, Ms. Zheng asked someone to take the breakfast away.

 Mr. Zhang turned around and told the maid: "Go and bring Madam's bird's nest porridge."

The maid bowed her knees and left the room.

Mrs. Zhang gently advised: "Madam, there is no need to be angry for an aunt."

Zheng was sitting on an armchair, leaning on the back of the chair and rubbing her temples, and said coldly: "It's not enough to be angry. Flies don't bite, it's just disgusting."

Mrs. Zhang nodded and said, "What the madam said is true. As the master said, the madam will have to endure it for a few more days until the child is born and then send him away."

Mrs. Zheng stretched out her hand. Seeing this, Mrs. Zhang took a step forward and handed the tea cup into Mrs. Zheng's hand.

Ms. Zheng took the tea cup, took a sip of tea, and handed the cup back to Mrs. Zhang.

　　said: "That is a disaster. In the past, she looked timid and timid. I thought she was honest.

Unexpectedly, her stomach was full of twists and turns. Not only did she sneak into the master's bed, but she also relied on the master's favor to boss around in the backyard and act lawlessly.

 Hong'er caused such a big incident yesterday. Even though Hong'er was a maid, it was still a human life. How dare she? "

 Mrs. Zhang cupped her tea cup with her hand and advised: "Mrs. Mercy. Aunt Xing is just a wild girl who grew up in a farmer's family. At her age, how much scheming can she have?

The main thing is the old guy from the Mao family next to her. If the old guy hadn't come up with bad ideas, how would Aunt Xing dare to do this?

 Aunt Xing is just a brainless person. Madam, there is no need to take her seriously and endure her for a while longer. "

Zheng's face darkened a bit when she mentioned Mao, "When that **** gives birth to the child, sell the old thing together."

Mrs. Zhang leaned forward and said, "Okay, madam, don't worry, I will make arrangements when the time comes."

The maid came in with bird's nest porridge. Mrs. Zhang took the porridge and handed it to Mrs. Zheng. She said warmly: "My wife didn't eat breakfast. Let's have some porridge now."

Zheng sat upright, took the porridge from Mrs. Zhang's hand, lowered her head and took two bites. He raised his head and looked at Mrs. Zhang and said, "When I woke up in the morning, my right eyelid kept beating and my heart was worried. I was afraid that something was going to happen. Please let people go to the front and have a look. Who is beating the drum today to complain?"

"Yes, I will make arrangements now." Mrs. Zhang put down her tea cup, took two steps back, turned around and hurried out.

Magistrate Chen came out of the backyard and saw Mr. Shi standing under the willow tree, pacing back and forth. His heart sank and he asked, "Who plays the drum?"

Hearing Magistrate Chen's voice, Master Shi turned around to greet him, leaned back and said, "Sir, the drummers are Gu Defang, Gu Chengjiao's father, and Gu Dechang, his third uncle, who were captured yesterday."

When County Magistrate Chen heard that they were from the Gu family, he didn't take it to heart and said, "They are just two farmers, why are you panicking?"

Seeing Magistrate Chen's casual look, Mr. Shi quickly leaned over and explained, "Sir, it's true that Gu Defang is a farmer, but Gu Dechang is not that simple. He is an old acquaintance."

Magistrate Chen stopped, turned to look at Master Shi, and asked, "Oh? Old acquaintance? It's not simple. Why is it not simple?"

Master Shi lowered his hand and replied: "Sir, this Gu Dechang is the young talent who graduated from Jiangnan East Road High School ten years ago. He is the youngest graduate in our Xinzhou Prefecture."

Magistrate Chen narrowed his eyes slightly and murmured: "The young talent from ten years ago?"

Master Shi nodded hurriedly, and then reminded: "Yes, it is Gu Dechang who can write good articles at a young age."

Magistrate Chen thought for a while, then nodded slightly: "Oh, it's him!"

Seeing Magistrate Chen remembering it, Mr. Shi leaned forward and said, "Yes, that's him."

Magistrate Chen twirled a few strands of his beard in his right hand, pulled the corners of his mouth downwards, and said with a half-smile, "I never thought that we would meet him again after so many years. What a fate!"

Master Shi did not answer the question and stood on the side with his hands clasped.

“Where did this person go after so many years? Why is there no information at all?” Magistrate Chen asked instead.

Master Shi leaned back and replied: "It is said that when I went to the capital to take the exam, I injured my leg. I suffered from leg disease and missed my official career. Now I am free at home. I help the family with some work during the busy farming period. During the busy farming period, I teach the children in the village to read and read. He’s half a gentleman.”

Magistrate Chen pretended not to know and asked, "At home? I remember this person is from Sanhe Town."

Master Shi lowered his hands and said, "Sir, Gu Dechang is from Tai Village, Sanhe Town."

County Magistrate Chen walked up to the main hall and said as he walked: "I understand. He is just a down-and-out scholar. A phoenix without feathers is worse than a chicken. He is just a poor scholar. What is there to worry about? According to what we discussed yesterday Do."

 Ten years ago, when Gu Dechang was in high spirits, he didn't even take him seriously.

 Ten years later, a disabled man with a disability, what else does he have to fear?

Master Shi hurriedly followed County Magistrate Chen and said with some worry: "Sir, should we discuss this matter again? I think this matter should not be taken carelessly..."

County Magistrate Chen stopped and interrupted Master Shi's words impatiently. He said angrily: "What's there to discuss? What kind of trouble can a down-and-out scholar make? Human life is at stake. This is an indisputable fact. Do as we discussed yesterday.”

Master Shi wanted to persuade him again, but Magistrate Chen had already walked to the main hall, so he had to follow quickly.

Master Shi winked at the clerk beside him, and the clerk quickly ran to the main hall and shouted: "Shengtang!"

The government servants standing on both sides of the court shouted "Shengtang", and the officers on both sides of the court held water and fire sticks and shouted "Mighty" in unison!

Magistrate Chen passed through Dongnuan Pavilion and sat down in front of the public case with a "high hanging mirror". He shouted in a deep voice: "Who beats the drum to complain? Bring the person up."

Magistrate Chen sat behind the court case and looked at the two brothers Gu Defang and Gu Dechang who entered the court with a straight face and a very majestic look.
