Han Qi is now the Deputy Privy Envoy, a serious second-rank official.
As long as Gu Mingjue's mind was not broken, there was no way he would have allowed the Liu family to call themselves the prefect's in-laws regardless of the Han family's face.
Besides, he also has to worry about what his son thinks.
His son had to call Han Qi uncle, then he would be a capable in-law.
Besides, now that Liu Yiting is dead, even if the weak connection between the prefect and the Liu family is severed, if he still wants the Liu family's money, he will have to ransack the house and take the Liu family's wealth as his own.
Although you can't take them all, if you do some manipulation during the house raid, at least half of them can fall into Gu Mingjue's pocket.
There is another most important reason, which is to have a good official reputation.
The magistrate not only personally led the troops to destroy Yuqingguan, which was pretending to be a ghost, fooling the people, and amassing money, but also imprisoned the Liu family who colluded with Yuqingguan. This was a righteous act of annihilation of relatives.
Speaking of this, Sanqi became a little aggrieved.
"Master, the magistrate is going to Yuqingguan to pick up the leaks now. I am afraid that the sixth uncle has already captured the monsters in Yuqingguan. He is just going through the motions. He will do it without spending a single soldier. It’s so cheap.”
"There is also the Liu family. He raided the Liu family and lost all the Liu family's wealth. He also gained a good reputation for righteousness and killing relatives. He really took advantage of all the benefits."
Gu Qingjue smiled: "No, he won't take the matter of killing Liu Yiting lightly."
Moreover, did he really think he was getting an advantage?
Uncle Liu took the monster away quietly, but Gu Mingjue took the government servants to Yuqing Temple with great fanfare. If you ask about it later, you will know.
Monsters are very vengeful.
How long can Gu Mingjue survive after being obsessed with by a monster?
The little money that the Liu family had had already been spent on the deal with Bian Gugu and others to extend Liu Tianchao's life.
Otherwise, why would the Liu family not be so generous to Gu Mingjue in the past two years?
He wanted to too, but his strength didn't allow it.
If the Liu family still wants to cling to the big tree of the prefect, they can't tell him that they have no money.
Gu Mingjue also thought that the Liu family resisted because they didn't want to give him money.
The two people who were temporarily tied together with money, if there was a slight disturbance, the relationship was completely broken up.
Gu Mingjue couldn't get much money from the Liu family.
Because of the harsh methods, Jiangning Mansion was scared to stop trying to get involved in the prefect's business.
Without the Liu family's money bag, can Gu Mingjue's life be as smooth as before?
If you don’t have money, you will find ways to make money.
As long as he moves.
You can catch him.
When Gu Qingjue said this, Sanqi understood!
"Hehe, that's pretty much it. The prefect already disliked it."
Sanqi has been with him for more than three years and is loyal to him. He has always wanted to train him instead of just being a guard by his side.
Therefore, I am willing to talk to him about these things.
Wangjiacun.
Today is the day of my wife's burial. Gu Qingjue had been staying at the mourning hall last night.
Master Zhou was the first person to guide him besides his father. He had no heirs, so he thought he could be filial to him when he grew up. Unexpectedly, God failed.
Even if he killed Liu Yiting and destroyed the Liu family, he still couldn't get his wife back.
After Master Zhou's funeral, the private school was dissolved.
The students were worried that their master's wife would be alone and wanted to take her back to their own home to take care of her. For this reason, their wives and old ladies took turns speaking to each other.
Chen Ruoju didn't even speak.
Gu Qingjue also thought about it, but he didn't know his wife's attitude, so he couldn't say it rashly.
"Ziyuan, would it be okay for my wife to stay at your place for two days?"
Gu Qingjue just didn't know what to say. His wife took the initiative to go to Gu's house, and naturally she was totally willing.
In this way, Chen Ruoju came to Wangjiacun and stayed with the Gu family.
There are several mothers in the Gu family who are similar in age to Chen Ruoju, and two of them lost their husbands. Everyone sympathized with each other, and after spending a few days together, Chen Ruoju's condition improved a lot.
On October 1, Qiu Wei's results came out.
Not surprisingly, Gu Qingjue won the first place in the autumn palace of Jiangning Mansion and became Jieyuan.
This is good news for our ancestors.
After learning the news, Gu Mingjue wanted to serve Gu Qingjue a drink at the magistrate's office to celebrate, but he was not there.
Mr. Gu sat on the main seat and looked at Gu Mingjue: "I heard that Mingbo has a son in Yuyuan Town. He took the first place in the state examination this time?"
"How did you get this news about father?"
Gu Xianxian's slightly cloudy eyes turned away from Gu Mingjue: "I'm not too old to walk or speak, but I can still instruct a few people."
He glanced at Gu Nanshan: "Mingbo has been dead for many years. Although he is the youngest son, this child is Mingbo's only son and a descendant of the Gu family. We still want him to come back as soon as possible and recognize his ancestors."
The old man had spoken, and what else could Gu Mingjue say besides nodding.
It is true that the old man has become an official, but he has been the Minister of Guanglu Temple for so many years, a third-rank official, and has many people in his hands.
Only some of these people were given to me, and most of them are still in the hands of the old man.
After talking about Gu Qingjue, Mr. Gu finally looked at Gu Nanshan: "Your eldest brother is dead. This family will still have to rely on you in the future, but look at you now. At the age of twenty-five, you have not even been admitted to the Jinshi. , If this continues, what hope does the Gu family have?"
"Father, Delin won the Tongjinshi Award last year."
"Tong Jinshi, how dare you say this?"
Mr. Gu vigorously punched his gloomy wooden cane: "It seems that the two characters are both Jinshi and Jinshi. The difference is huge."
He was born with Jinshi at that time.
He was often laughed at, and even at a banquet, two officials at his level confronted and humiliated him.
One came out of the first couplet and said: Mrs. Ru.
Another one immediately said: Same as Jinshi.
As soon as the pair appeared, all the colleagues present laughed. He could only laugh along, otherwise he would have to be told by the group not to sit in the same position.
This is not yet over. The first person to write the first couplet added: "It's like a lady washing her feet."
Immediately after, someone answered: He was born with the same Jinshi.
He was the only fellow Jinshi at that table, and he was so embarrassed that he wanted to crawl under the table.
Gu Nanshan, who knew that his ancestor was born in the same Jinshi class: "..."
Isn't it true that he looks down on his fellow Jinshis, forgetting his own origin just because he once reached the third rank?
"Grandpa, my grandson plans to take the bachelor's degree exam again next year."
Gu Xianxian snorted: "It's okay to pass the exam, but it's embarrassing to fail. It's better to take the civil service assessment and become a small county magistrate. It seems that this family can't count on you. By the way. , I want to meet Mingbo’s children, you make arrangements!”
Gu Mingjue reluctantly agreed, his head hurting.
The old man is used to being arbitrary, I thought it was still ten years ago!
The update is completed today, okay! I’ll fix the typo after I wake up in the afternoon~
