Hope for luck

Chapter 512
In a rather magnificent courtyard of Jinjiazhuang, a middle-aged employee was walking up and down the hall at the moment, as if anxiously waiting for some news.

After a while, I saw a young man in brocade clothes hurrying over, and when he saw the middle-aged man, he said:
"Father, that's right, it's Jin Qiaoyan. Now that she's back, she looks even better. She even brought a little husband back..."

"Tsk tsk tsk...Father, you haven't seen that Jin Qiaoyan looks so beautiful now, but it's a pity that you didn't keep her behind, and now she's someone else's wife!"

The young man in brocade clothes who spoke was named Wu Maoyi, and the middle-aged man's father was named Wu Yingying.

After Wu Yingying heard Wu Maoyi's description, she couldn't help frowning and reprimanded:

"Don't talk nonsense, how did you keep her back then? If we kept her, our family would suffer. Fortunately, we didn't force her to stay!"

Wu Maoyi cynically came to the seat beside him and sat down, poured himself another cup of tea, and then said:
"Father, you don't know that Jin Qiaoyan's little husband is a young man with a white face, and he is very well dressed. If I haven't seen it, it is the clothes made of the finest Wuzhou silk..."

"It was 50 taels of silver as soon as it was sold, and he was about to ask Mr. Jin to hold a banquet, saying that he was going to entertain everyone in the town. This made Mr. Jin's eyebrows almost jump to the sky, and he shouted one by one!"

These words made Wu Yingying a little interested, and hurriedly asked:

"What you said is true?! 50 taels? Who goes out with such money?"

Wu Maoyi pouted:

"Father, you are also a well-known local rich man in Jinzhuang Town. Fifty taels is nothing. However, that white-faced young man took out a silver ingot from his pocket without blinking. Newly minted, no fakes, 50% new silver!"

After hearing this, Wu Yingying also became surprised:
"Oh? [-]% new silver? This is something that only people in the government can get. Could it be that this white-faced boy is the young master of the government?"

Wu Maoyi shook his head:

"It looks like...Father, I can't miss this chance again. That girl is rare to appear, and now she looks and figure... Tsk, just thinking about it makes people drool!"

These words made Wu Yingying squint her eyes, lowered her eyebrows, and after thinking for a while, she said something to Wu Maoyi.

From time to time, the faces of the father and son showed a bit of lewdness, and they were not good people at first glance.

I saw the two discussing for a long time, but I don't know what dirty things they discussed.

……

In the 18th year of Tianfeng, the fourth day of March.

In the evening, the Jin's Ancestral Hall in Jinzhuang Town was very lively and brightly lit.

Although Gao Pan only gave 50 taels of silver, it was enough to hold a big banquet here.

Because most of the meals are bought directly from various households, and it doesn't cost much. Tables, chairs and benches are already ready-made in the ancestral hall.

Even the wine needs to cost some silver, and the rest will not exceed ten taels of silver.

And these townspeople are also very happy and happy. First, they eat for free, and second, they also sell some food money, which can be regarded as a pleasant surprise.

For Gao Pan and Luo Ying, these townspeople greeted and praised them warmly, just like Gao Pan and Luo Ying's wedding banquet.

This also made Luo Ying very happy. She had long understood her identity, and it was impossible to become Gao Pan's wife, so she kept her position right.

Now, not only has she followed Gao Panyi to return to her hometown, but she has also received blessings and praise from the villagers, which made her feel like she was married.

Gao Pan, on the other hand, was drinking with the crowd while observing whether there was any suspicious person in the crowd.

Soon, Gao Pan's eyes were fixed on Wu Yingying, Wu Maoyi and his son.

It was the way the father and son looked at Luoying, the eyeballs were about to fall off, and they didn't hide it.

For this, Gao Pan had already sentenced the two to death in his heart.

Quietly among the crowd, he inquired about Wu Yingying and Wu Maoyi's father and son, and came to them again, chatting with them as if nothing had happened.

I saw Gao Panjun blushing, holding up his wine glass and saying loudly:

"Seniors, I'm not afraid of your jokes. My wife suspects that the fire at home was deliberately caused by someone. For this reason, this junior is also planning to get some useful information from you..."

"If you know who it is, you might as well stand up and tell me now, so that I can call the people from the government and deal with it strictly!"

After saying this, the lively atmosphere at the scene stopped abruptly. Everyone looked at Gao Pan in astonishment, not knowing what to say.

Wu Yingying and Wu Maoyi's father and son's expressions changed drastically, and Wu Maoyi was the first to say:
"Mr. Gao, are you kidding me? There was a fire in Old Ninth Uncle's house, and later the government made a conclusion, saying that it was his own stove that caught fire, which caused the fire. There is no doubt about it!"

After Gao Pan listened, he laughed loudly:
"Hahaha, Young Master Wu, if that's the case, my wife won't complain to me. Now that she's married to me, I have to find out the truth for her. I absolutely don't believe the government's nonsense!"

After saying this, Wu Yingying and Wu Maoyi's father and son's expressions changed again. Wu Yingying got up and said calmly:
"Young Master Gao, don't believe what a woman like her said. There was a public opinion on the fire in Laojiu's family back then..."

"Young Master Gao must bring up this matter again, or redefine the conclusion. I'm afraid it will cause a lot of trouble. I advise you not to have such thoughts!"

After finishing speaking, Wu Yingying left the banquet, Wu Maoyi looked at Gao Pan, and then left. Before leaving, he did not forget to take another look at the pretty Luo Ying.

Some other fearful people also left, but even so, there were still many people left during the banquet.

At this moment, Jin Jingtian came to Gao Pan and said:

"My lord, the fire that year was indeed very strange, but later the county government officials came here to have a look, got a result, and left!"

The rest of the people also followed suit, and the meaning of what they said was similar, that is, to persuade Gao Pan not to mention this matter again, if there is no result, even if they do, it is just asking for trouble.

But Gao Pan blushed, and then said loudly:

"Elders, thank you for trusting me. However, since I am here, I must clarify this matter. By the way, tomorrow, I plan to go to the county government to invite someone from the government to investigate this matter. !"

When everyone heard this, they all shook their heads and sighed. Some people thought that Luoying really married a good man, and such a thing would definitely come to an end.

There were also people who sighed for Gao Pan, thinking that he was doing futile work, and he would definitely be ashamed in the end.

However, no matter what, everyone understood Gao Pan's intention, which was to ask the government to reset the matter of the fire that year.
