Gu Yunxiao was not familiar with these official positions in the county government. When his father was alive, he never talked about things in the government office, so he was confused.
Song Captou heard that he didn't know, so he patiently explained: "Below the county magistrate are the county magistrate, the chief registrar, and the dianshi. The county magistrate and the chief registrar have ranks, while the dianshi is not a high-ranking official and is responsible for managing arrests and prisons. The county magistrate can choose his own relatives and trust Dianshi. Cui Dianshi was still retained by the previous county magistrate. After County Magistrate Murong took office, he neither removed him nor used him, and he has been idle at home."
Gu Yunxiao immediately understood that Cui Dianshi must have a backer.
Brother Murong didn't want to make enemies, nor did he want to cause trouble for himself.
That's why the other party has been hanging on to this idle position for several years.
She continued to ask doubtfully: "Uncle Song, who is responsible for the arrests and prisons in the county?"
Song Captou's eyes suddenly dimmed and he said, "The county master has been managing things by himself... so he is very busy."
I see!
It seems that Cui Dianshi's background is taboo even for the county magistrate.
Thinking of the weapons in the hands of the men in black, is it possible that the men in black are related to Cui Dianshi?
Even the county magistrate is taboo, so it is better not to alert others to such people.
She said decisively: "It's getting late, let's go look elsewhere first."
Song Captou looked at the other party with appreciative eyes, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Okay!"
Everyone basically walked all over the west side, but really couldn't find any place to hide weapons.
Gu Yunxiao discussed with Mr. Song in a low voice: "Uncle Song, I think we should send someone to monitor Cui Dianshi's home. What do you think?"
Capt. Song raised his lips and whispered: "Heroes think alike. I think so too. I have arranged these agents to monitor Cui's house 24 hours a day."
Gu Yunxiao thought to himself: Although Uncle Song was careless, he was alert enough. He nodded and said, "Please ask Uncle Song to arrange these things."
"OK!"
Soon, Capt. Song had a clear division of labor and arranged for people to monitor the Cui family, and most of them went home.
Gu Yunxiao walked quickly towards home.
The more I walked, the more painful the soles of my feet were. I thought to myself, I found a blister when I washed my feet last night, and I don't know if there will be more blisters today.
You have to walk a lot every day, why not buy a donkey to ride on in the future?
In my previous life, I watched movies and TV shows, and riding a donkey was so leisurely.
Find time tomorrow to ask Mr. Song, how much does a donkey cost here?
Withdraw your mind, think of the case, and monitor Cui Dianshi's family. If you can't find any clues, you can only make a list to look for it. This is too passive.
She suddenly had a headache.
Finally, she reached the door of her house. Before she could enter, she saw a young man dressed as a scholar standing in the yard, greeting her warmly.
"Sister Yunxiao, are you back?"
In an instant, Gu Yunxiao felt the hairs on her hair stand on end. Ever since she disguised herself as a man, she had been extremely careful, who was this man? Calling yourself "sister" harshly?
Did you reveal your secret?
Gu Yunxiao stood still, feeling shocked and confused.
When the young man saw the other person's face suddenly change, he realized that he had been rash. He looked at no one around and explained in a low voice: "Yunxiao, have you forgotten me? I am your cousin!"
cousin!
Could it be that the real owner has arrived?
Yesterday, Gu Yunxiao also told his mother that he should go to his uncle's house and explain to his uncle about her disguise as a man, so that the Wang family would not be caught without knowing the inside story.
At that time, Wang Meihua said in embarrassment: "Yunxiao, these two little ones can't live without me. Your two sisters are young. It takes six or seven hours by car from here to Wang's house. Wait until you take time off to find a companion before going there." ?”
In the memory of the original owner, Gu Yunxiao had no impression of the people in Uncle Wang's family.
She didn't want to go because she was afraid of revealing her secret, and wanted her mother to send someone.
Hearing what I said, there really was no one to send, and she suddenly had a headache.
"Mom, I just took up my job and have a lot of things to do. I'm afraid I don't have time recently."
"Yunxiao, I think the Wang family is so far away, so nothing will happen."
Gu Yunxiao thought about it, who has nothing to do and spends money to travel so far by car?
The only people who care about this matter are the great grandmother and uncle.
She asked alertly: "Mom, do grandmother and uncle know where my uncle lives?"
Wang Meihua shook her head and said, "They don't know!"
Gu Yunxiao immediately felt relieved and put the matter behind him.
She never dreamed that her uncle's neighbors and relatives lived in the county. They came over to visit and chatted about nothing, and said: "There has been a bit of chaos in the county recently, and Capt. Gu was killed."
Wang Haonan, who was sitting in the yard knitting straw sandals, couldn't sit still when he heard the news. His brother-in-law's surname was Gu, and he was a head catcher in the county. Did something unfortunate happen to his brother-in-law?
My sister is pregnant, right?
He eagerly pulled his son over and hurried over, only to find out what happened.
Although my brother-in-law is gone, fortunately my sister is born, which is a great blessing among misfortunes.
My niece is also very capable, and she actually came up with such a method.
Wang Haonan was chatting with his sister in the house; Sister Yunlan was cooking in the kitchen; Wang Tianyou, the eldest cousin of the Wang family, was walking in the yard when he saw Gu Yunxiao walking over in men's clothes, and he shouted emotionally.
When Gu Yunxiao walked into the yard, he realized that his uncle and eldest cousin had come to visit him after learning about the death of his cheap father.
She calmly washed her face and hands with a basin of water, then went back home and changed her clothes.
Then I walked into my mother's bedroom and saw a man in his forties who looked exactly like my mother.
Searching the memory, there is a vague impression in the mind.
"Uncle..."
Wang Haonan looked at the young boy who walked in with kind eyes, and praised happily: "Those who don't know the inside story really can't tell that Yun Xiao is a little girl."
Gu Yunxiao's tense face immediately relaxed, revealing the shyness of his son and daughter: "Uncle, I have no choice. This is the only way to protect the whole family."
Wang Haonan praised: "Good boy, you are smart and this is a good idea."
Then, he said to his son who was following behind him: "God bless you, your cousin is a woman, calm and careful in her work. You can learn from her in the future."
Wang Tianyou nodded repeatedly.
Wang Meihua sighed and said: "The two brats are too young. When they grow up, I'm afraid that Yun Xiao will get older. What will happen if she can't get married knowing that she once disguised herself as a man and worked as a police officer?"
Gu Yunxiao sighed in his heart: This is really pitiful for the hearts of parents in the world.
Mothers in this world all think that marrying their daughter into a good family is the only way.
Wang Haonan said pointedly: "Yunxiao is still young, so you don't have to worry. At that time, if others dislike you, the Wang family will never care."
Gu Yunxiao felt a little strange when he heard this. What do you mean that the Wang family doesn't care?
I quickly thought about it, now that we can marry close relatives, does her uncle want her to be with her cousin?
Thinking of this, I suddenly broke into a cold sweat.
She didn't have a problem with her cousin. He was handsome, with a good figure, a good temperament, and an elegant face.
I heard that it is not difficult to find a wife when you are still a child.
She came from the future world and knew very well that marrying close relatives would harm others and herself.
She didn't want to harm herself, let alone her uncle and cousin, who were kind to her.
You must find an opportunity to make it clear to your mother that you must never agree to your uncle's proposal of marriage.
Thinking of these things like lightning, he smiled on the surface and said, "When did uncle arrive? He must be hungry, right?"
Wang Haonan shook his head and said, "Fortunately, we ate some cakes on the way, so we're not very hungry."
Wang Meihua smiled and said, "Your uncle and the others have been here for more than half an hour. Yun Lan and the others have gone to cook. They should be ready."
Gu Yunxiao walked to the kitchen and saw his two sisters making flat food.
Bianshi is dumplings with dumpling soup.
Yesterday, she brought back a lot of pig meat and cooked half of it. There were guests at home, and Sister Yunlan happened to use the pig meat to make flat food.
Yun Lan saw her coming in and said, "Brother, we have packed the food and will cook it soon."
"Then I'll set the table and pick up the dishes."
After a while, a large bowl of flat food was brought to the table, poured into bowls, and everyone started eating.
Wang Haonan ate two delicacies and praised: "Sister, how come the pig meat in your delicacies doesn't have a fishy smell? It tastes so delicious."
Gu Yunxiao then remembered that the pigs raised in this world were not castrated, and the pig meat tasted fishy.
The pig meat in Bianshi is taken out of the space. Although there are changes, it does not increase the fishy smell, and it certainly tastes fresher and more tender.
It was inappropriate for the girl to say these things. Of course she couldn't tell the truth, so she could only explain: "Maybe the way of raising pigs is different. My uncle will stay for a few more days. I will go to that house tomorrow to buy more pig meat and take it back to my aunt and uncle." My cousins will also try it.”
Wang Haonan said with satisfaction: "Yunxiao still has a filial piety. It's okay to come and see you. He feels relieved and plans to go back tomorrow. Besides, it's hard to explain when your cousin is here."
Gu Yunxiao smiled and reminded: "Uncle is too worried. Who knows how many cousins I have?"
Everyone quickly reacted and laughed.
Wang Haonan shook his head and said: "Forget it, let's go back tomorrow. We don't worry about your aunt and cousin being home."
Wang Meihua said to the sisters: "Your uncle and aunt thought that I was about to give birth, so they sent a basket of eggs, a quilt, shoes and a hat for your brother."
Wang Haonan immediately said apologetically: "Sister, we didn't expect you to have two nephews in this pregnancy. We have prepared a set of gifts. When we go back, we will ask your sister-in-law to make another set for the child."
Wang Meihua shook her head and said: "Brother, no need, it's too far. Now that Yunxiao stands up, she can make money. She has bought a lot of food in the past few days, and our mothers will have something to rely on in the future. Life at home It’s not easy, so don’t worry about us.”
Wang Haonan said sincerely: "You are my biological sister, can I not miss you? I couldn't help it before, but later most of the things I brought with me were taken away by your mother-in-law. Now, with Yunxiao here, they don't dare to make trouble, right?" "
Gu Yunxiao said with a smile: "After I took over the job, I was favored by the county magistrate and became the deputy catcher. I will definitely earn more money every month than the catcher, and my grandmother will no longer need to provide support money. In a few days, I will I want to open a pastry shop and let my two sisters make pastries at home. I have found people who sell pastries. I took the time to learn how to make several pastries, so don't worry."
Wang Haonan said with a smile on his face: "I heard from your mother that it was Yunxiao's credit for raising Yin. I didn't expect that you became the deputy catcher right after you started working. Not bad! Is it reliable to open a pastry shop?"
Seeing his uncle's worried eyes, Gu Yunxiao knew that he was sincere.
She was grateful and wanted to reciprocate the favor.
"Of course it's reliable. When I open it, I'll send someone to deliver the letter. You guys can come here to learn and open one over there."
The eyes of Wang Haonan and his son suddenly lit up.
"Is this... okay? It won't affect you, right?"
Gu Yunxiao said sincerely: "It won't affect me because we are so far away. Isn't my eldest cousin studying? Is there anyone at home who has time to open a shop?"
Wang Haonan explained patiently: "My family has spent all these years to support your eldest cousin's education. I am not afraid of your jokes, but now we are stretched thin. We must find ways to make money to continue studying. We still have your aunt, second cousin and cousin at home." , there is no shortage of idle people to open shops.”
Gu Yunxiao understood. He heard that studying costs money, and it was true.
Wang Haonan continued: "We will not learn the craft in vain. We will send you as much money as you need."
Is your uncle too down-to-earth?
Gu Yunxiao said hurriedly: "Uncle, we are close relatives, and it doesn't cost money to learn how to make pastries. Besides, the skills I learned from others didn't cost anything."
Wang Haonan shook his head and said, "How is this possible? Such craftsmanship can be passed down to future generations. We can't learn it in vain?"
