They found the master first, and the appointment procedures were quickly completed.
When I came to the warehouse, I couldn't find any weapons, so I had to find a blacksmith to make them.
Finally, they walked to the sewing room in the backyard of the county government office.
Song Captou whispered: "Yunxiao, Mrs. Wu is very difficult to deal with. She relies on her daughter's good cooking skills and considers herself the concubine of the county magistrate. No one dares to mess with her in the backyard of the county government. Be careful."
Gu Yunxiao understands that wherever there are people, there are disputes, let alone matters involving the back house. She has watched too many dramas about palace and house fights in later generations. Conspiracies follow one after another, so she still stays away from them.
She nodded slightly and said, "Okay!"
Come to the sewing room and find Mrs. Wu.
Gu Yunxiao stood behind Song Captou and saw that the man was in his thirties, with fairly regular facial features, but his lips were extremely thin, giving the impression that he was very sharp-tongued.
Capt. Song said respectfully: "Sister Wu, this brother is the new deputy captivity. The county master asked me to ask you to help me make two sets of clothes."
Mrs. Wu said critically: "Oh, it turns out to be Mr. Song. Am I that old?"
He glanced at Gu Yunxiao with contempt, and continued in a harsh tone: "Captain Song, this kid has a good relationship with you, right? He must be the deputy you recommended him to be, right? Since Captor Gu died, Captor Song has also I'm getting excited. Whoever just took up a new job in a shop is going to make two sets of clothes, do you think I don't understand?"
Gu Yunxiao was feeling depressed. This was really the King of Hell's desire to see the little devil being difficult to deal with. He was just about to say something.
Song Captou raised his hands in a neither humble nor condescending manner and continued: "Sister Wu, this is the order given by the county magistrate himself. I have no right to recommend anyone to be my deputy, let alone tell you to do things. If you are dissatisfied with Brother Gu and me, you can ask County Master."
Song Captou not only continued to call Sister Wu, but also deliberately poked the other person's lungs to bring out some taboo words from the old man.
Gu Yunxiao murmured in his heart: Uncle Song knew clearly what Granny Wu hated, and even knew that she was difficult to deal with. He told him to be careful, but he was not afraid at all. There was clearly a sense of arrogance in his bones.
She likes this arrogance!
Mrs. Wu's expression suddenly changed, she pointed at Mr. Song and said, "You..."
The voice trembled "you" for a long time.
Song Captou continued to criticize the other party seriously, "Sister Wu, what are you doing? You don't want to make clothes? I'll go talk to the county magistrate about this."
Mrs. Wu hurriedly stopped him. Although she was suffocated and angry in her heart, she squeezed out a smile on the surface and said: "Captain Song is joking. I will ask my subordinates to handle this matter. I just asked, lest some people take advantage of it." He took the county government's property as his own. Okay, I know about this, just wait."
Mrs. Wu did not dare to let the other party go to the county magistrate. She just wanted to show off her status by making trouble and give the other party a few words of advice.
As a result, he became disgraced and had to find his own way down the stairs.
Seeing Mrs. Wu turning and leaving in a depressed mood.
Gu Yunxiao gave Song a thumbs up and praised him: "Uncle Song speaks well, and Mrs. Wu is a paper tiger. By the way, don't you need to measure?"
Song Captor shook his head and said proudly: "If I can't even subjugate a housewife, why should I be a captor? She doesn't dare to do anything to me. No need to measure, just see you. It's noon, I Invite you to dinner."
Gu Yunxiao murmured in his heart: No wonder Mrs. Wu dares to quibble. Not only does she have the support of her daughter, but her professional level is also obviously not low.
When she heard about eating, she realized that it was already noon and it was time to have lunch.
Thinking of the noon work lunch in the previous life, there would never be such benefits here, how could Song Captou ask for it.
She said sincerely: "Uncle Song, I have learned a lot from being with you these two days. It's better if I invite you. I have money."
"Okay, then I'll invite you tomorrow. Anyway, we'll often be together in the future."
As Gu Yunxiao walked, he thought of his cheap father. Not only did he have to give his monthly salary to his grandmother, but he also had to support the whole family. He didn't know how to deal with it?
Thinking of this, she asked tentatively: "Uncle Song, what do you and my dad usually eat for lunch?"
Song Captou sighed: "What can we eat? Your father is more economical than me. We often go to Wang Ersao's restaurant to eat a bowl of multi-grain noodles and a side dish, which costs three pennies in total for the two of us."
Oh so cheap!
Gu Yunxiao felt sad. His father was frugal and had to give his grandmother five taels of silver every year. He also had to support the family and kept his consumption level to a minimum.
She said with a complicated mood: "Uncle Song, we are going to eat multi-grain noodles for lunch. I want to try it."
"Okay, after lunch, let's come back and see if the county magistrate has any instructions. If not, we'll seize the time to investigate the case."
"OK!"
Wang Ersao's restaurant is not far from the Yamen.
Sister-in-law Wang was soliciting customers at the door of the restaurant. When she saw them passing by, she looked Gu Yunxiao up and down. She quickly thought of something and asked, "Is this young man from Gu's boss? Is this the top job?"
Gu Yunxiao explained politely: "Hello, Erniang Wang, I am Gu Baotou's nephew and his adopted son. It is true that I have taken over his position. I will ask Erniang Wang to take more care of me in the future."
Wang Erniang then remembered something and said with emotion: "Looking at my memory, I remembered that Mr. Gu only has three daughters in his family. He is a good man, but it's a pity..."
Gu Yunxiao heard that Wang Erniang should be very close to her father.
She knew what the other party was regretting, which was that he did not leave a son to carry on the family line and let him, an outsider, take over the position.
really interesting! When did it take outsiders' turn to give advice on the Gu family's affairs?
She looked over with sharp eyes and said: "Wang Erniang, my mother gave birth to two younger brothers. When the younger brothers grow up, I will return the position of detective to them. I took the position and avenged my adoptive father. Please give me Bring two bowls of multi-grain noodles with Uncle Song, a side dish, and an extra empty bowl, which is three cents."
Second Sister-in-law Wang didn't expect that this boy who looked a bit like Gu Baotou could speak so powerfully.
He immediately felt remorseful and said apologetically: "This little brother, I was the one who didn't control what I said. I'm sorry, please wait a moment!"
Soon, the lunch meal that Gu Yunxiao asked for was served.
She glanced at the thick noodles with unknown ingredients inside, and immediately lost her appetite.
He pulled half of the noodles out of the bowl into the empty bowl, pushed it over and said, "Uncle Song, you eat more. I'm young and this is enough."
Song Captou glanced at her and said with concern: "Yunxiao, you eat too little, no wonder you are so thin."
Gu Yunxiao hurriedly explained: "I ate a lot in the morning, and I'm not hungry yet."
I drank some porridge in the morning, how could I not be hungry? She just doesn't like to eat and wants to find opportunities to eat secretly.
There are many good things in the space, and she doesn’t want to treat herself badly.
Song Captou believed it to be true, nodded and said, "Then I'm welcome!"
He picked up the large porcelain bowl and ate hungrily.
However, Gu Yunxiao ate very slowly and kept complaining in his heart: "It tastes really bad!"
After Song Captou finished eating, she also ate all the multi-grain noodles in the bowl, wiped her mouth with her hands and said, "Let's go back to the Yamen!"
As soon as they came back, they saw the county magistrate wandering around in the yard. There were several government officials not far away from him who obviously wanted to chat with him.
The county magistrate obviously turned a blind eye and did not pay any attention to the government officials.
Seeing that the two of them were back, he hurriedly walked over and said, "Brother Gu, come in and talk."
Gu Yunxiao thought that the county magistrate would only call him brother and sister when there were no outsiders, but he didn't expect that he would also call him like this when there were several government officials around.
Since the county magistrate doesn't care, I don't have any worries.
"Okay, Brother Murong!"
Follow the other person into the house.
The eyes of several government officials in the yard were about to stare. Whose brother was this that the county magistrate paid so much attention to?
They all looked at Mr. Song and asked curiously: "Old Song, who is this little brother?"
Song Putou was afraid that Yun Xiao would be bullied by people in the yamen, and when he heard everyone asking, he would make Yun Xiao famous.
"He is Capt. Gu's apprentice. He just took up the post and was favored by the county magistrate, who appointed him as the deputy Capt."
Everyone suddenly became envious and jealous. Look at him, he was taken seriously by the county magistrate as soon as he arrived. After several years of work, he was still a dispensable government servant.
Soon, the news spread in the yamen that the county magistrate had a special regard for the new deputy chief. Everyone was envious and jealous, wishing they could replace him with their own bodies.
This news also reached Mrs. Wu’s ears.
She originally wanted to delay for a few days before instructing her men to make clothes. She suddenly became nervous. She was a brother-in-law of the county magistrate and had to please this little brother.
She immediately asked her men to seize the time to make two sets of head-catching clothes. Of course, the size should be suitable, and the stitching should be finer.
What's even more outrageous is that she also asked her men to make two sets of underwear and shoes and socks.
Soon, everyone in the sewing room became busy.
Gu Yunxiao had no idea that he had become a popular figure in the yamen as soon as he took up the post.
He was in the room explaining to the county magistrate what raw materials were needed for coarse salt processing.
Murong Han originally wanted to process fine salt in the backyard of the county government office, but he felt it was inappropriate when he was waiting for them just now.
There were a lot of people coming and going in the backyard, so it would be bad if people knew about it.
You must find a place where no one is quiet to build a workshop, and you must send confidants to guard it.
After this matter was implemented, he also wanted to send news to his grandfather and listen to his old man's arrangements.
After he asked what he needed, he immediately knew what he needed.
"Okay, you and Song Captou and others will go work first in the afternoon. Tomorrow I will confirm the location and the specific number of people, and you will be responsible for teaching them. In the past few days, all the agents will assist you in investigating the cause of Gu Captou's death."
Gu Yunxiao cupped his hands and said respectfully: "Thank you, Brother Murong!"
"We brothers don't have to be so polite!"
Murong Han's handsome face showed a smile, and he stretched out his hand to gently pat Gu Yunxiao's shoulder.
Gu Yunxiao suddenly felt a little uncomfortable and glanced at the other person's hand slapping his shoulder. His fingers were slender and white.
Maybe it's because he writes hard frequently, and his thumb, index, and middle fingers are slightly white, like the well-maintained hands of a piano master, and they look very pleasing to the eye.
Murong Han asked curiously: "What are you looking at?"
Gu Yunxiao shook his head hurriedly and said: "It's nothing, Brother Murong, you are busy!"
Then, strode outside.
I muttered in my heart: What happened to me just now?
When he saw Capt. Song waiting for him outside, there were several people standing beside him wearing government uniforms, all of whom looked strange.
Seeing him come out, several men came over with flattering faces and said in a flattering tone: "Congratulations, Deputy Chief, our brothers want to treat us. When will you be willing to show favor?"
In her previous life, although Gu Yunxiao had only been working for a few months, she was able to see through the small thoughts of the people in front of her through the interpersonal interactions in movies and TV shows all over the world.
They must have discovered that she and the county magistrate were brothers, so they wanted to curry favor with them.
She didn't want to deal with these profit-seeking people, and she didn't want to offend them.
She cupped her hands and said apologetically: "Brothers, I'm sorry, I've been busy investigating cases recently and don't have time to eat or drink."
The few people did not dare to offend her, so they hurriedly said respectfully, "What the deputy chief said is, wait until you find out the case, and then we can invite the chief to have a celebratory drink, how about that?"
Gu Yunxiao cupped his hands and said, "Okay!"
Song Baotou, who was standing nearby, was afraid that Yun Xiao would be deceived by a few people. He secretly admired her when he found that she had settled the matter in a few words without offending the other party and pushed the treat away.
No wonder this guy is so respected by the county boss, he does have a lot of skills.
Gu Yunxiao had no idea what Captor Song was thinking, so he whispered a few words to him, and the two of them hurriedly went to find other captors to do things.
