Chapter 888 The replaced engagement
Gu Jinan escaped from the famine and was very vigilant. He had long seen Mr. Li's murderous intention towards them.
He is not afraid. They have prepared a big gift for Mr. Li. The Li family will not be able to live for long.
Gu Jinan no longer paid attention to Mr. Li, but walked towards Mr. Gu.
Mr. Gu hated Gu Jinan's family very much. When he saw him coming, he glared at him and screamed.
Gu Jinan approached Mr. Gu and whispered: "Do you remember what I told you before? If you want glory and wealth, and if you want to have money to clear up your sins, you must capture the Zhan family."
After listening to this, Mr. Gu finally stopped shouting.
Yes, the two golden mountains of the Zhan family's uncle and nephew are still there. If he wants to live a wealthy life, he can only use Gu Rong and Gu Ya to hang on to the Zhan family.
But those two marriage certificates?
Gu Jinan saw his worries and said kindly: "It's been changed. I wish your family prosperity and continued blessings."
Thats weird!
He is so "kind" because he just wants to use the old Gu family to challenge the Zhan family. The uncles and nephews of the Zhan family went too far, so don't blame his family for being ruthless.
Mr. Gu was overjoyed. He finally had the money to clear up his guilt, and he immediately complained to the ancient magistrate.
The ancient prefect was almost annoyed with him, so he only ordered the government officials: "You take him down first, listen to what he has to say, and then relay what he said to me."
He then whispered to Tang Tongpan: "Master Tang, remember to replace the gavel tree with a new one...it's cracked."
Tang Tongpuan was stunned for a moment, then he suppressed a smile and said, "Yes, I have remembered it."
Seeing that the ancient prefect was a little embarrassed, he said again: "Sir, we have been tired for a day, let's go eat first."
As if hearing the sound of nature, the ancient magistrate nodded and said with a smile: "I am also very hungry. Let's go and eat first."
Tang Tongpan glanced at Mr. Li and said, "My lord, let's go first. I'll go and call Mr. Li."
After all, he is a fifth-rank official and has a backer. They cannot break up with Mr. Li until the capital city deposes him.
The ancient prefect nodded, said nothing, and left first.
As for Gu Jinan, Mr. Li didn't talk to him much. He was about to take the government examination. As the prefect, he couldn't talk to the recent candidates. Otherwise, if Gu Jinan is admitted to the government office, he will inevitably be gossiped about.
He cannot afford to gossip about fraud.
Mr. Li knew that the prefect did not want to see him, so he rejected Tang Tongpan's kindness.
Tang Tong failed to ask for it, so when he saw that he wouldn't go, he left by himself.
Mr. Li waited for Tang Tongpan to leave and was about to leave when his sleeve was suddenly pulled by Gu Chengli.
Gu Chengli pointed to the small door and said, "Mr. Li, I, my sister-in-law are looking for you."
Gu Chengli was so frightened that day that he never thought that Mrs. Gu had killed Gu Dashan's mother. While he was still dazed, he was hit by a small stone.
It turned out that it was Gu Xiaomei who asked him for help.
Mr. Li followed the sound and saw Gu Xiaomei. After thinking about it, he walked towards her.
When Gu Xiaomei saw Mr. Li coming, she immediately asked urgently: "Uncle Li, my mother killed someone. We won't be punished. You have to save us."
Mr. Li said: "Your mother's matter will not involve you. Uncle Li will use money to eliminate your guilt of sitting together."
When Gu Xiaomei heard this, she immediately came to life and said in surprise: "Thank you, Uncle Li. I knew Uncle Li would not ignore us." He then begged Mr. Li: "Uncle Li, come with me to the back office. Mr. Zhan agrees. Marry me, you also know that my family has a bad reputation now, you are an official, you can support me if you go."
After hearing this, Mr. Li looked at Gu Xiaomei, suddenly smiled, and said to Gu Xiaomei: "Little sister, the Zhan family is hell. If you go there, you won't survive more than three months."
The Zhan family is an aristocratic family. Because they have lost such a big face, do you think the Zhan family will spare them? Even if they were brought back to Zhan's house, they would die within three months.
They simply dont know how many means aristocratic families have to make people disappear without a trace.
But Miss Gu didn't listen, she glared at Mr. Li and said, "Uncle Li, it's not easy for me to meet Mr. Zhan, can't you help me?"
Mr. Li looked at Gu Xiaomei and completely gave up on her. He held Master Yue's hand and left.
Gu Xiaomei was anxious: "Uncle Li, Uncle Li, you can't ignore me."
Mr. Li acted as if he hadn't heard anything and left directly.
Gu Chengli looked around and saw that he had no master. He wanted to run with Mr. Li, but was caught by Gu Xiaomei: "Come back and support my sister-in-law. When she becomes the young lady of the Zhan family, you can live a good life."
Gu Chenglis brain had turned to mush, and he was dragged towards the back office by Gu Xiaomei.
Mr. Li was supported by Master Yue and came to Gu Dashan. In front of the people watching the excitement, he bowed to Gu Dashan and apologized.
Third Grandpa quickly stood in front of Gu Dashan, smiled and helped Mr. Li up and said: "Sir, you are an official, how can you salute me? The affairs of Lao Liu's family have nothing to do with you, and you were also deceived by them. After we go back, just drive their family away, and there is no need to say more about the rest."
When Mr. Li heard this, he was so angry that he almost wanted to kill the third grandfather. He originally wanted to come and apologize to Gu Dashan, so that the people of the city could see how he treated Gu Dashan's family, but everything was ruined by this old man.
This old beast is still very good at talking, and he has said all kinds of things, so that he can no longer say sad words to gain sympathy.
Mr. Li had no choice but to smile and leave with Master Yue.
It was already dark outside. After Gu Dashan and his brother Gu Jinan thanked the people watching the excitement, they went home in a mule cart.
Houya, the ancient magistrate finally came back to life after having a meal with Tang Tongpan. After resting for a while, he frowned as he listened to the yamen servant's report: "Is what Gu Shengxiang said true? Are the uncles and nephews of the Zhan family crazy? They actually asked to marry Gu Ya and Gu Rong?"
All the girls from the aristocratic family are dead, so why should the Zhan family beg for a wife like this?
Tang Tongpan said with a smile: "Those two people have gone to live in old Gu's house and have been seen by so many people. Who knows whether it is true or false. Your Excellency, you should take Gu Shengxiang with you and let the two families fight on their own. Go and have a look, don't let them cause trouble."
The Zhan family is an aristocratic family, and there is also Mr. Zhan who is a Beijing official. When the first emperor of Dachu was in charge, the Zhan family even sent their daughter to the palace, and she was barely considered a relative of the emperor. It would be better for them not to quarrel with the Zhan family and let the old Gu family and the uncles and nephews of the Zhan family quarrel with each other.
Hearing this, the ancient prefect agreed very much: "Master Tang is right, let's go and see Mr. Zhan San's uncle and nephew."
The two went to the house where the uncle and nephew of the Zhan family were imprisoned.
The yamen servant also brought Mr. Gu.
As soon as Mr. Gu arrived, he said: "Sir, although the uncle and nephew of the Zhan family are scornful of Sister Ya and Sister Rong, there is a marriage contract between them. The two families have made a marriage contract. The four of them are an unmarried couple. Please let them go." Mr. Zhan San, uncle and nephew, let our two families choose a date to get engaged."
The ancient prefect was confused when he heard this. Mr. Zhan Sans wife was not dead yet, so how could she be engaged to Gu Ya? Do you want to marry an equal wife?
And Mr. Gu, as a grandfather, your own granddaughter was slept with, and you still speak for the prostitute. Are you really crazy? !
After the Third Young Master Zhan came to his senses, he pointed at Mr. Gu and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? When did we have an engagement with Gu Ya and Gu Rong? The ones we propose to marry are Gu Jinxiu and Gu Jinli!"
Gu Xiaomei was also shocked. She didn't expect that after waiting for a whole day, her "biological father" broke the story and shouted: "Dad, what nonsense are you talking about? When did Mr. Zhan have an engagement with Gu Rong? There should be an engagement." You should follow me!"
