My Entire Family's Gone Haywire!

Chapter 564

564 I’ll listen to you

Grandpa Gu carried Gu Ren back to the house and kept looking at him from inside.

He looked at the baby on the bed with lingering fear. Fortunately, little Xue was there. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have found it so quickly, or even not.

other than the two of them, who had left qing zhou on a long journey, there were no other children in their family. they did not even know where the next ferry crossing was or how to get there by land.

even the second brother had only been to yuzhou and had never passed through the ferry.

grandma gu walked in and saw grandpa gu frowning. she went forward to smooth his frown and said in a low voice, ” “brother chuan, don’t overthink it. didn’t you bring the child back?”

Grandpa Gu raised his head and sighed,”lan lan, I want to see Yingluo.”

He couldn’t say what he was thinking.

Grandma Gu sat down, held his hand, and smiled. “Brother Chuan, I’ll be with you no matter what you want to do. Wherever you are, that’s my home.”

Grandpa Gu placed grandma Gu’s hand on his chest and relaxed. “Let nature take its course! Although she’s old, she’s still healthy. She has someone to take care of her, so we’re not in a hurry. When second brother continues to take the exam, our children will be able to stand out on their own. Wealth and glory came too easily, and it would make one lose himself. Only when you work hard to obtain it will you treasure it. ”

“Whatever you say.” Grandma Gu nodded.

After the interrogation, the county government’s people didn’t manage to get any more information. The two warlocks were fake. They were human traffickers. According to them, they had taken a fancy to the Gu family’s two daughters, Gu Xin and Gu si, so they wanted to abduct them. In the end, they didn’t find a chance.

As for contacting the GAO family, it was also an accident. Later, they didn’t know how things turned out like this. They thought that one of the Gu family’s milk babies looked quite clever. Perhaps they could sell him to a family without a son. If they sold him further away, they could sell him for a high price.

The new county magistrate’s surname was Yan. He was in his thirties and had heard of the former county magistrate’s conflict with the Gu family. However, he did not side with them.

Since the suspect had admitted to it, the case was closed.

Moreover, this was not the only case of the two fake warlocks. Under torture, they had also confessed to the previous cases of them impersonating warlocks.

According to the great Zhou’s law, anyone who trafficked human beings would be executed after autumn. Of course, those who were sold to slave traders by their relatives did not count.

the two fake warlocks were sentenced to be executed after autumn and were immediately taken to the capital to wait with the people who were sentenced to be executed this autumn.

Because Gu Ren was found in good condition, the GAO family who had contacted the fake sorcerer were thrown into prison. They had to serve in the bitter kiln every day for a total of four years.

in addition to the dozen or so members of the gao family, zhang shi’s maternal family of five were also imprisoned for the same crime. zhang shi’s mother knew the whole process of this matter and even helped to persuade zhang shi, so she was not innocent at all.

As for the widows, they had only used money to provoke Madam Zhang and did not know the details. However, they were also accomplices, so they were sentenced to be caned. Each person was caned 30 times. After they were caned, no one sent them back. They had to pay a bailiff. As for the money they had paid to do this, the money they had received was confiscated.

Sir Yan was quite grateful to the Gu family. He had only been in office for two months, and he was able to catch the human traffickers on his first case. He had even managed to force out the crimes that the two of them had committed before. This was a great achievement.

Hence, he was very nice to the Gu family.

However, Gu shouxin felt that this matter was not over yet. After the case was over, he did not leave immediately. Instead, he went directly to Sir Yan’s office room and chatted for a long time before coming out.
