this?

Mrs. Chen panicked after hearing this and quickly begged for mercy: "Mrs. Qin, I know I made a mistake, and I will never dare to do it again... I just wanted my little brother to succeed so much that I made a mistake. Please give me another chance. Don't make a big fuss...my husband-in-law doesn't know about it yet. If it makes a big fuss and he finds out, I, I'm afraid I will be divorced!"

Mrs. Chen covered her face and cried bitterly. She was very scared. If her man was implicated in this matter, her family would be over.

Gu Jinli said: "If someone dared to do something wrong and cry in front of me before, I would definitely not be merciful and send you to the government together. You should be sentenced as you should. But this time it involves my aunt, and it has not caused a big disaster. , just take your money back and live your life as usual."

Then he looked at Widow Xiao: "Aunt, you deliberately used your relationship with my family to make money. This is a serious crime. You must be fined one thousand taels of silver and put it into the military camp to buy food and medicine for the soldiers."

"One thousand taels? Nephew, are you crazy..." Widow Xiao was about to explode when she saw Gu Jinli glance at her coldly. She quickly suppressed her words and pretended to cry: "Nephew, my aunt knows that she is wrong. I and Mrs. Chen She said that her younger brother can't be the manager of the pharmacy, but she doesn't believe it and insists on giving me money... Money, you also know my aunt, if you don't accept it, I'm afraid of committing a sin!"

"It's a sin if you accept it!" Gu Jinli didn't bother to argue with her, so he just said: "Either pay a fine of one thousand taels of silver, or go to the Yamen to surrender now and be sentenced to jail."

At this point, Widow Xiao really cried when she saw that Gu Jinli was serious about it: "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!

Gu Jinli smiled brightly: "Don't worry, aunt, uncle has made great achievements and will be rewarded. One thousand taels, your family can afford it... The reward hasn't come yet, so I have advanced it to you. Remember to pay it back."

Can it still be like this?

Widow Xiao cried even more miserably, one thousand taels, she was just ruined!

Oh, my God! Widow Xiao slapped her thigh and wanted to sit on the ground, howl and act, but then she remembered that she might be a generals wife, so she couldnt lose her face too much, so she held it in for dear life.

Seeing that she had stopped howling, Gu Jinli took out a one hundred tael silver note and handed it to Mrs. Chen: "Mrs. Chen, this is the compensation given by my aunt to your family."

He turned to Widow Xiao and said, "One thousand one hundred taels, remember to pay it back!"

Widow Xiao was ready to die. All the happiness she had had for more than a month was gone, and she was crying profusely.

"Take it." Gu Jinli stuffed the banknote and the bag that Widow Xiao took out to Mrs. Chen, and said sternly: "Mrs. Chen, this is your first offense, so I won't take you to the county government office. If you do it again, you will be punished directly. It is a matter of military law to deal with it. Please note that it is against military law to give money to put people in workshops controlled by the military camp!"

He added: "There are still suspicions of taking the opportunity to harm the reputation of my husband!"

Brother Qin has just seized military power and won a battle. If it is spread that relatives are using his name to collect money to do things, his reputation will be completely ruined. How will he govern the northwest in the future? !

With a plop, Mrs. Chen's face turned pale and she knelt down: "Mrs. Qin, spare your life, I, I have no intention of harming the reputation of Mr. Qin Xiaohou, it's just too..."

"Mrs. Chen, the matter has already come out. Talking about this is nonsense." Gu Jinli interrupted Mrs. Chen and said: "Anyway, Mrs. Chen, please remember that if you violate military law again, you will not be let off lightly. Its about seeing real blood!

See, see blood?

Mrs. Chen rolled her eyes and almost fainted. She hurriedly held on for the sake of her family. She nodded like a clove of garlic and said, "Yes, yes, I know I made a mistake, and I will never dare to do it again. Thank you, Mrs. Qin, for being kind, woo woo woo~"

It really scared her to death.

When she asked Widow Xiao for help with the money, she also knew that it was against military and criminal laws, but everyone in Dachu did this in private, and Widow Xiao happily accepted the money. She, she I just thought that the Qin family acquiesced in this matter, just... Now it seems that the Qin family did not know about it and did not approve of this behavior. It was Widow Xiao who was making money behind the Qin family's back!

Eh, she was only half right.

It was true that Widow Xiao was collecting money from the Qin family, but Gu Jinli knew about it early on. The reason why he didn't say anything was because he knew that after Brother Qin won the battle, many people would come to curry favor with him and give him money. People who know him ask for help. In order to avoid big trouble in the future, I might as well indulge Widow Xiao once, then deal with it severely, and take the opportunity to say that anyone who dares to hand over money to ask for help will be punished by military law!

Seeing that she was really scared, Gu Jinli nodded and said: "Go back and live a good life. Don't deal with these useless things. It will only harm yourself." He added: "With your little brother's personality, he can work in a turpentine workshop. It's very suitable. If you are literate, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can be promoted to a small steward after a period of time. But you don't have to think about being in charge of a medicine shop. The medicine shop is related to the lives of the soldiers at the front. If you want to be a medicine shop manager, you must He is from the military, or has a death contract, and he still needs to know the knowledge of medicinal materials and pharmacology. Your brother is not good at it. If you risk the whole family to get him a medicine shop manager, he won't be able to do it for long, he will be kicked out."

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen cried even more miserably.

Her younger brother was a nerd, with an injured foot and a slight limp. He was a person with deficiencies in the five elements. It was difficult for him to join the yamen as a scribe. She could only desperately find a way for him, and she really ignored whether he could take it. A matter of livelihood.

"Mrs. Chen, come back." Gu Jinli asked people to send Mrs. Chen out, and also told people that anyone who came to see Widow Xiao during this period could not enter the house.

Finally, they sent someone to the county government to tell them that in the future, such behaviors as asking for work by handing over money would be strictly dealt with. They also had people shout in the streets and alleys: "General Qin runs the army strictly, and anyone who dares to ask for help by handing over money will be punished by military law, with as little as three punishments." Ten military sticks, the most serious one is to behead him in public display!"

Its against military law to stuff money to get things done, dont do it, youll lose your head if you do it!

They shouted in the county town every day, and within three days, everyone knew about it. Many people who had prepared money and were looking for opportunities to stuff money to ask for help started to back down.

"Even Mr. Qin Xiaohou's aunt was fined a thousand taels of silver and beaten with twenty boards. I heard that she was crippled. If we do this again, we will definitely be beheaded. Don't do it. Don't do it. Its done, calm down!

Everyone was scared, but Widow Xiao was indeed beaten, but she was not lame, and only suffered some skin injuries. In exchange for this, she had to pay back a hundred taels of silver.

As for Mrs. Chen

The county magistrate was very kind to this daughter-in-law. After all, they had escaped together. He did not divorce her. He just scolded her and punished her to shut up and think about her mistakes until the army returned from victory.

Mrs. Chens younger brother continues to work in the pine oil workshop, but he used to complain that the work was smelly and tiring when he returned home. Now he no longer complains and works honestly.

After Gu Jinli finished this, he started to make shoes and summer clothes for the two cubs: "It will be summer when I see them again, so I have to make some cool clothes for them to wear."

He gestured to the small shoes again and asked Sanqing: "Are they too small? Bring me the measuring tape."

"Yes." Sanqing hurriedly brought the two young masters' measuring ropes sent by Aunt Yu.

Gu Jinli measured it and nodded with satisfaction: "The shoes are half an inch longer than the measuring rope, so they shouldn't be too small."

He looked at the shoes again and sighed: "My Zai Zai's feet are really small."

It makes me feel pitiful to think about leaving my parents at such a young age.

But now she can only wait, wait for Brother Qin to drive the bandits out of Longshan Mansion, wait for the area to be completely cleared and safe, and then take the child over.
