"you……"
"What are you doing? Uncle, do you know that the owner of the room you disturbed has to get up early and rush on his way tomorrow morning! Can you afford to pay for this wasted time and energy?"
"That's right." The big man nodded seriously after receiving the words: "I have something big to do tomorrow, you can't just let it go tonight. Pay for it!"
Hearing the money, several people came out of other rooms, and everyone wanted to get a piece of it based on the principle of seeing the money. After all, they were indeed woken up.
Gu Wensheng:......
"Hero, I... look at what I'm wearing. It's in tatters. There's no room for money anywhere on my body!"
As he spoke, in order to convince the people behind him, Gu Wensheng also shook the clothes he had cut into strips.
The big man glanced at Gu Jiu from the corner of his eye, but the latter went back to the room unmoved.
Seeing this, the big man turned Gu Wensheng over and said, "If you don't bring any money, let someone send it to you, or the brothers will follow you home to get it! No matter what happens today, you can't get this money out." That’s right!”
When he checked in, he heard from the waiter that the girl had been staying in this inn for a long time, and she wanted a room from the beginning. How could the owner be short of money in this situation!
He just looked at the person just because he wanted to know if the little girl would pay for her uncle. If he paid directly, he would save some time. If not...hehe, that was her uncle, and it was not easy for outsiders to ask for it. Her uncle must give him some money no matter what he wants!
Thinking of this, looking at Gu Wensheng who was still rummaging through his pockets trying to prove to everyone that he was a poor man, the big man kicked him directly.
"If you don't have money, find a way, otherwise grandpa will take you to see the official now!"
As he spoke, the big man gestured to the room where Gu Jiu entered.
Gu Wensheng, who had just been let go and was about to cry out and escape, looked in the direction of his gaze and immediately understood what the other party meant.
"Xiaojiu! No matter what, I belong to you..."
Before Gu Wensheng could finish shouting, Gu Jiu suddenly opened the door from inside and said to the big man: "If he doesn't pay, you take him to the Shi family. His son is the sweetheart of Miss Shi's family. It's impossible to ignore him." He is the father-in-law-to-be."
"But if you deliberately disturb my rest, then I'm sorry, I'm a very stingy person. You have to prevent me from stumbling upon you in the future."
Then he looked at Gu Wensheng and said: "And you, uncle, if you miss the scene of being beaten outside the Yamen, you can tell me directly! I can help you remember it at any time!"
When Gu Wensheng heard that he had been hit by a slap in the face, he subconsciously touched his lower back. To be honest, although he had only received a slap in the face, if the Shi family hadn't brought them the best wound medicine, he would still be lying on the bed now.
It was really a good thing that Shi Yuyan came to make trouble that time. Not only did Zhe Qishao get seven or eight blows, but he also sucked the hands of all the people in the yamen and only got one blow for himself!
But it doesn't feel good at all. The piece of meat still hurts when touched!
Gu Wensheng accidentally touched the wound, and he trembled with pain. He suddenly thought that all this was related to Gu Jiu. He was about to turn around and curse when he heard a bang and Gu Jiu had already closed the door.
The big man looked at the closed door, and then at the waiter who had come over at some unknown time. He immediately gave up asking Gu Jiu for money, and instead chose to drag Gu Wensheng to Shi's house to ask for money.
"Grandma, come here. Grandpa, I was curious before about what kind of person could make Miss Shi's family stand out. I thought she was from a good family, but I didn't expect it to be someone like you!" The big man looked at Gu Wensheng's clothes, full of disgust. .
If I'm like this, how much better can my son be?
I don’t know what the young lady is looking at at this time? If the people in front of you are like this, then their family is also in line!
But even if he dislikes it, he still needs money. The big man tore off the rag strips from Gu Wensheng's coat, twisted them into one, tied up Gu Wensheng's hands and legs, and stuffed his penis. Mouth.
"I'm quite lucky today. I originally wanted half a pound of money, but now it's better. I can earn a tael of silver at least!"
The others watched Gu Wensheng being carried away on his shoulders, and after looking at each other, they also chose to follow silently.
Although I don’t know if this person is the prospective father-in-law of the Shi family, but what if? The Shi family has a big business, and a small reward is enough for them to earn for several days, not to mention that they might be able to use this opportunity to get on the line with the Shi family!
Why not go for something that is beneficial and harmless?
After everyone left, Ling Yang and Ye Qingyi came over to ask about the situation. After confirming that nothing was wrong, they all went back to rest.
As for Gu Wensheng... I think Shi Qiusheng was more happy when he saw Gu Wensheng. After all, it was an example that could suppress Gu Zheqi's image.
A dreamless night.
At noon the next day, the village chief found Gu Jiu with the silk drawn by the villagers.
"Xiao Jiu, I just came back from the city government office. I heard from the county magistrate that your uncle is causing trouble for you again? I think otherwise, the village chief will ask one person from each family in the village to talk to them carefully, so as not to confuse them. !”
Gu Jiu shook his head: "The village chief said that one-sided words are not advisable, and the same is true for one village's words. When the county magistrate judges a case, it is impossible to directly assume that something is what someone or some people said, and definite evidence is definitely needed."
"Moreover, if so many people really come, my uncle can definitely say that I bribed you, which indirectly proves that you are on good terms with me. Because I don't like my aunt, I encouraged you to poison her to death."
The village chief frowned: "Then... just let it go?"
"Yes." Gu Jiu nodded seriously: "The county magistrate is not stupid and will not easily believe what Gu Zheqi and the two say. For now, we just need to ensure that most people in the village will not be bribed by them."
"Don't worry about this." The village chief patted his chest and assured, "Not only that, there are several families in the village who want to do this job. They asked me to ask you if you can let them join in."
"This... it's possible, but I don't have time to go back, and I don't have time to make a new drawing machine, so they can only wait until I finish my work."
The village chief nodded: "It should, it should... that is, is there an approximate time?"
"Hey, it's really hard to say. Let me make the spinning machine first and bring it back to you next time you come to the city. How many units will be sent to you? I'll tell you how early I come to see you. They will be distributed in the evening."
"That's okay!"
After the discussion, the village chief went to accompany Gu Cheng. He didn't plan to go back today. Tomorrow was the day to register at the academy. He had to go with him no matter what.
Gu Jiu sat in the study room, thinking that what happened last night would make Shi Yuyan come to him today, but he didn't expect that even at noon, he didn't see a trace of anyone.
Could it be that he was locked up at home by Shi Qiusheng?
It shouldn't be, Yuyan was so in love that she would have to crawl to see Gu Zheqi even if her legs were broken. Whenever she saw her, Gu Zheqi would definitely say bad things about her. There was no reason for this person not to come! Could it be that she overlooked something?
Gu Jiu was thinking as he calculated yesterday's income with his abacus.
On the other hand, Yu Jiuli quickly adjusted his state and walked over to refill Shen Xianyue's tea in person.
"My father gave it to me and said it tastes good. Jiuli doesn't understand this stuff. If Miss Xiao likes it, Jiuli will pack it for you."
"You don't need to understand, you just need to know that one dip is worth thirty taels of silver."
Hearing this, Yu Jiuli stopped putting the teapot, his eyebrows were lowered, and he looked particularly well-behaved: "What Miss Xiao said is that Jiuli can recognize his own identity."
"That's good."
Yu Jiuli wanted to pretend to be good, but Shen Xianyue didn't bother to expose her.
"Where's what I want?"
"Didn't you receive it? Jiuli has asked your people to deliver the things to you."
Yu Jiuli looked up and asked in shock: "Did that person get lost?"
"No, I still know my people's ability to do things very well."
Shen Xianyue raised her hand and overturned the tea poured by Yu Jiuli, and said slowly: "It seems that Miss Yu has not learned the tea ceremony for a long time. It is very rude to pour the tea to overflowing like this."
"Well, Jiuli will pour you another glass."
Shen Xianyue was neither happy nor sad, and her lack of emotion made Yu Jiuli feel a little flustered.
She didn't know how much Shen Xianyue knew, and whether he had discovered the arrangements she had made; if he were discovered, all the preparations he had made for so many days would be in vain!
She and Qing'an had suffered so much before because being controlled by others now had new possibilities, and she felt that she would no longer be controlled by others!
"No, I've read what you handed over. It's a bunch of nonsense. If I hadn't left more than one person with you, I would have suspected that you were deliberately using it to lure away my people."
Shen Xianyue looked at Yu Jiuli, her voice was calm and there was no trace of joy or anger.
"Here..." Yu Jiuli smiled awkwardly: "Jiuli is writing this for the first time and is not very skilled yet. Miss Xiao, don't worry, Jiuli will learn as soon as possible."
"Have bad ears?"
"What did I just say?"
Shen Xianyue's voice was deep, not angry but powerful.
Yu Jiuli's curled fingertips turned white. After a few seconds, he found that Shen Xianyue had no intention of letting go of the topic, so he had to bite the bullet and speak.
"You say 'a bunch of crap'."
"Um."
Shen Xianyue nodded.
"Then tell me, what does Yu Zhengtian do in private? What happened to the money of unknown origin?"
A minister of the Ministry of Punishment has his income laid out there. He enjoys tea leaves worth thirty taels and a pot of tea, and lets Jiu Li waste it as he pleases. Everyone knows that he has black money income.
Hearing this, Yu Jiuli lowered his head, his teeth repeatedly grinding the soft flesh inside his lips.
She has reached a condition with Concubine Lin. As long as she does a small favor for her at the prince's banquet soon, she will not only help her get rid of the situation of being controlled, but also help herself get the Yu family.
No matter what, Concubine Lin is the biological mother of the prince, and she has been in charge of the harem for many years. In terms of strength, she is not as powerful as Xiao Beiyue, a kid who just came from the countryside!
