Traveling through ancient times

Chapter 158: Outrage from both God and Man

Gu Dalian was terrified. If she sold these gold bars, she would become a multi-millionaire!

Forget it, after traveling to this world, this money will benefit mankind. Don’t get excited yet, there are still many things to do tomorrow!

After dawn, Gu Dalian came out of her house. Gu Wenzhi was stunned for a moment:

"Dalian, didn't you go back to the village yesterday?"

"Brother, I went out for a walk yesterday and bought a weaving and dyeing workshop and a cloth shop. It was a bit late, so I didn't go back!"

"I'll go out and see which wood shop does the best work. I plan to turn the shop in front of us into a clothing store!"

Gu Wenzhi was now mysteriously confident in his elder sister, and said with a smile: "You decide!"

Breakfast is simple, with meat buns, simple side dishes and millet and pumpkin porridge.

After everyone finished their meal, Gu Wenzhi took Xu Xiuhe to Shannan Academy, while Gu Dalian carried a backpack and went to the street to see what was going on!

Sure enough, a reward notice was posted on the street. The thief in the picture was a burly man with a beard. It only said that this man had killed someone and the government was looking for him!

Apart from an additional reward notice, everything on the streets is normal and the city has not been closed!

Gu Dalian thought, it is true. Then she went to the famous Zhuang's Wooden Furniture Shop!

"Boss, I want to make a display cabinet. Can it be made here?"

The shopkeeper, a man in his thirties, was not good at speaking and his hands were covered with calluses. He said as he worked:

"You can do it if you say it!"

Gu Dalian handed over a blueprint and said, "Look, how many days will it take to make this?"

The drawings provided by Gu Dalian are designed according to modern concepts, including clothing display cabinets, hangers, and half-length models!

When the shopkeeper saw the blueprint, he simply stopped what he was doing and began to study the things on the blueprint with great interest. After looking at it for a while, he smiled and said:

"I can definitely make this for you, but I need to study some details carefully. It will be ready in about five or six days!"

"It's just that I don't have any good wood here, I need to look for more!"

Gu Dalian smiled: "I have already put the wood in the shop. If it is convenient for you, you can come over today!"

The shopkeeper's surname is Zhuang. He said with a smile:

"Let me go to the back and tell my wife, and we can leave now!"

He stood up and walked to the back hall. After a while, he returned with three young men following him. Shopkeeper Zhuang said with a smile:

"This one is my son, and those two are my apprentices! Let them pack up, and we'll leave right away!"

The three men nodded to Gu Dalian, and began to put various tools into a wheelbarrow quickly. After they packed up, they followed Gu Dalian back home!

There are two shops, one big and one small, so Dalian has already put all the original counters into the space. She feels that these counters are not the style she wants!

"Master Zhuang, just follow my drawings and make the furniture on both sides. We can have lunch in the backyard. I've already told Aunt Liang!"

Shopkeeper Zhuang nodded repeatedly. He couldn't wait to make new counters and those strange and weird things!

After settling the people, Gu Dalian went out again!

She wanted to get some information, so she took out a ginseng from the space, bought an antique wooden box, put brocade in it, and then put the ginseng in it!

This is one of the small ginsengs at the beginning. After being watered with spring water that has been stuffy and added with ingredients, it has grown into a big ginseng that is hundreds of years old!

When Gu Dalian arrived at the county government office, there seemed to be a few new bailiffs at the gate. As soon as they approached, one of them said:

"Miss Gu, are you looking for our master?"

Gu Dalian was a little surprised: "Do you know me?"

The man shook his head and smiled, "I don't know you, but Master Wang has specifically described your appearance. If you come, you can go in directly, no need to stop me!"

The other two new-looking yamen runners also came over and said, "Master Wang said that you, your brothers and sisters, and you are like brothers to me, so we must be careful!"

"Miss Gu, my name is Zhou Hong, his name is Wang Wei, and the thin guy is Li Lihong! If you have any problems in the future, you can tell us!"

Gu Dalian smiled at them: "Okay, no problem!"

There were no obstructions along the way. After waiting outside for a while, they saw Wu Shi in official robes and Mr. Wang coming from the lobby. They were both young men, one masculine and the other elegant, quite pleasing to the eye!

As soon as Wu Shi saw Gu Dalian, his stern face softened a lot!

"Why are you here again today? Is there anything else you need your brother to do?"

Although there was some dissatisfaction in the words, there was also a hint of pampering!

Gu Dalian said with a smile:

"Brother Beauty, you are so heartless. I just gave you a favor and you are ungrateful. If I get another favor in the future, I will have to think carefully about whether to give it to you again!"

Wu Shi led the people into the house and said with a smile:

"Wang Jie, look at this girl's mouth, she is so sharp-tongued and won't take any loss!"

Wang Jie laughed it off. He always felt that his classmate had some unusual thoughts about the little girl!

Gu Dalian was making a joke while casually saying:

"Brother Beauty, I just saw a wanted notice on the street. It only said that Wu Yong was killed. Then Prime Minister Wu's only son was killed, but he didn't do anything?"

Master Wang glanced at Wu Shi, and seeing that he remained silent, he said:

"The witnesses all said that the murderer came for revenge. One of the witnesses said that the murderer forced him to write down the evil deeds he had done, and he also signed and sealed it."

"With Lord Wu in charge, Wu Dong has to be more cautious in what he does. He is probably ordering his servants to conduct secret investigations right now!"

"However, it is said that the murderer is a highly skilled martial artist, so his efforts must be in vain!"

Wu Shi poured three cups of tea, handed one to Gu Dalian, and then said:

"This Wu Dong has done a lot of bad things over the years. My master and I have been here for too short a time. We have long wanted to punish him, but unfortunately this guy is too cunning."

"I just heard that the murderer has Wu Yong's confession. I thought that if we get this confession, it should be of great help to us, so we only issued a wanted notice and had someone take it down at night!"

Gu Dalian was delighted, thinking that she had a good eye and it seemed that this county magistrate could be trusted!

With a mysterious smile, he said, "Brother Beauty, guess what good thing I'm going to do today?"

Gu Dalian took out the ginseng and said, "Look, this thing is called wild ginseng. It is hundreds of years old. I'll give it to my beautiful brother!"

Wu Shi smiled: "Girl, you gave me something that is rare in a century!"

Gu Dalian tilted her head and blinked her big, lively eyes:

"Because you are my brother, hehe, guess what good things I have for you?"

Wu Shi looked at Wang Jie and shook his head, "You are such a clever girl, I really can't guess what you are doing!"

Gu Dalian smiled brightly: "I went to the furniture store this morning and was bumped into by someone. When I entered the store, I found that there was an extra stack of papers in my backpack!..."

Gu Dalian's lies come out casually, and there is no way to check them anyway!

Without saying anything else, he took out the pages of paper from his backpack and waved them!

Wu Shi and the other man were shocked. Could it be what they thought?

Wu Shi said anxiously, "Good girl, what is it?"

Gu Dalian didn't keep it a secret anymore and handed it directly to Wu Shi!

Wu Shi picked up the pages and started reading. Wang Jie came over. The more they read, the angrier they became. They never expected that what Wu Dong and his son had done was so outrageous!
