The product, that is, the method of making fermented bean curd, the tofu for making fermented bean curd can be directly obtained from the Gu family. As for how to open up the market, according to Gu Zhao, with his eldest sister's sharp temper, it can be done. In the hands of the eldest sister, she is not afraid that the Wu family and the eldest brother-in-law will have a disagreement.
Compared with the second sister, the affairs of the eldest sister's family are much easier to handle. The eldest sister's family is short of money. If she can earn money, the eldest sister can handle other things well, but is the Liu family short of money?They seem to lack everything, but in fact they lack everything, because the Liu family is not greedy enough, no matter how much they give them, they will not be too much, and they will want more, so it is impossible for Gu Zhao not to separate the relationship Something for the second sister's house.
On this day, the eldest brother-in-law helped Gu Daniu with his work for a whole morning. In his words, he was idle anyway, so he had the strength to do it. The second brother-in-law couldn't see it later, so he was embarrassed to sit alone The brother-in-law was busy there, so he also went to help later.
The two families had lunch at their natal home, and then went back with gifts brought by the old lady from Fucheng. The nephews were reluctant to part with their grandparents and uncle, especially the two from the second sister's house. The look in the eyes made the second elder feel weak, and he almost let go and let them stay.
After the two daughters left, the old lady sat there sighing, and complained to the old man: "Other people's family treats girls like grass, but it's good to come to Lao Liu's house. A big girl is more important than a son, and a big girl is worse than a son." I took the whole family to eat and drink at the old Liu's house, so tell me what it is."
Gu Zhao had a problem when he heard it, so he asked, "Did the second sister say anything else?"
The old lady's eyes immediately stood up: "Is she still hiding something from her mother? What more outrageous things did the old Liu family do?"
The old man also frowned: "Zhaoer, who did you listen to? Or your second brother-in-law said something in front of you that shouldn't be said?"
The old man was wary of his own family holding back the old son, and he also had to guard against outsiders, such as the two sons-in-law and their family members, so his first reaction was that the second son-in-law said something he shouldn't have said.
Gu Zhao shook his head: "Second brother-in-law didn't say anything. I saw something was wrong and asked my two nephews. Father, mother, the affairs of the second sister's house are really hard to handle, and I think it will worry father and mother again. .”
"Zhaoer, tell me."
Gu Zhao held his chin and said, "Second sister's eldest aunt's husband's family seems to have lost money in business, so now they are relying on their natal family to live. Mrs. Liu took her two grandchildren to her side to take care of them herself, and also used the Liu family's Sending them money to study, the Liu family is not really rich enough to open their hands to use the money, so after giving those two, the children of the second sister's family just..."
The old lady became furious when she heard it, and slapped the table to scold: "Damn girl, you actually kept such a big matter from us, and I didn't tell you when I questioned her. Does she have my mother in her heart? And that old hag of the Liu family , Myolie's child is not from his old Liu's family? He didn't drag the old Liu's children to help his son-in-law's family, old man, tomorrow we will go to the old Liu's house and ask, what do they think of the old Liu's family? In order to let the second son-in-law be our Gu family's door-to-door son-in-law, their old Liu family can't afford to support our Gu family."
Gu Zhao laughed: "Their Liu family's idea is more than that. Their old Liu family's idea is to let our Gu family take care of their old Liu family. They want us to take care of them, but they won't let the second brother-in-law change into our Gu family's door-to-door son-in-law. .”
The old lady was even angrier. This is what the old Liu's family is holding on to. How can there be such a good thing in the world.
The old man is also annoyed, the old Liu family is eyeing their Gu family, what a good plan!Fortunately, he used to think that the old Liu family was a decent person, and he had a good impression of the second son-in-law.
Although the old man was annoyed, his mind was still very clear. He couldn't give the Liu family a chance to entangle his old son, so he said to Gu Zhao, "You'd better go back to Fucheng tomorrow morning. There can't be any delay there. The family matters are up to the two of us." An old man, and your brother and sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about family affairs when you go back."
Gu Zhao's energy is all about studying, and he is still young, so he is definitely not as experienced as their elders in dealing with these matters.
Gu Zhao nodded. He didn't think about it at first. The key to this matter lies in how the second brother-in-law chooses, whether he chooses his wife and children or the mother-in-law. Judging from the fact that the second brother-in-law didn't mention it to him today, Gu Zhao Zhao's impression of her second brother-in-law is not too bad.
"Father, I want to help Eldest Sister's family. I've come up with a plan. After I leave, my father and mother will leave it to Eldest Sister. It's up to Eldest Sister to decide whether to do it or not."
The old man and the old lady were heartbroken. The old son not only respected the two elders, but also took care of the elder sister. As for where Fang Zi came from, the two elders didn't care. After all, they still don't know if the person in front of them is their old son. ?
"You are kind-hearted. After taking care of the family, you have to take care of your elder sister. Mother can't say that you can't help your elder sister. Your elder sister's family must remember your kindness." For the old lady, her daughter is also in her body. A piece of meat that fell off might not hurt, but I also know that my son has no responsibility to help his eldest sister's family. The son can think that it is because of his kindness.
"Mother..." Gu Zhao was a little embarrassed by the praise, and entangled with his mother, "That's also my sister, who used to take care of me when I was young."
The harmony between the sons and daughters is what the two elders are most happy to see, and their mood has improved a lot. Gu Zhao explained the specific process of making fermented bean curd to the two elders in detail. Yes, it can be done for sure.
I didn't directly give the tofu recipe to Gu Tao, and the two elders also thought it was very good. Anyway, it is very convenient to get tofu from here. It is enough for the daughter to specialize in fermented bean curd. Before the fermented bean curd can be sold to make money, the son-in-law can still get tofu Going out to sell will not delay the time to earn money. The old man also thinks that his son has considered everything, including his second brother's affairs.
Gu Zhao talked a lot to the elders that night, and told his eldest brother and sister-in-law to take good care of his parents. Finally, he left the revised blueprints of the new house to the elders. If no one else said anything, Gu Ren's eyes glowed. It can be built like this, and the things inside can also be made like this.
It sounds like it would cost a lot of money, but the two elders didn't feel sorry for Gu Zhao, because they knew that there was a share of the restaurant and the soap business, so the old son would not be short of money, and the house was ready, and he would be able to live there when he came back. Comfortable, the two elders will naturally do their best to meet Gu Zhao's request.
"Ren'er is also interested?"
Gu Ren blushed a little, but still nodded.
Gu Zhao has thought about Gu Ren's future. He is very embarrassing at his age, and if he goes to school, he can only recognize a few words. It is difficult to get ahead by reading, but there are other ways out. Gu Zhao thinks it is also difficult to rely on being a carpenter For a big development, Gu Ren's personality is stable, but he is not smart enough, otherwise it is a way out to bring him by his side as a helper.
Seeing that Gu Ren is interested now, Gu Zhao felt that he should learn more. Anyway, there are too many skills to overwhelm him. If he learns well, he may be able to find a good way out of it.
So Gu Zhao said: "Then Ren'er, you will follow your grandfather. When the time comes to build the house, you will learn more, and there are some things in my blueprint that are not available outside. They need to be specially ordered. Then you will follow him." See how much you can grasp."
Gu Zhao and Gu Ren explained in detail, such as the tiles and other sanitary products needed in the bathroom, how to make the sewer pipes, and the design of the water tank. Gu Ren became more and more interested when he heard it, and wished he could stay up all night Hearing his brother-in-law explain it to him, but it's a pity that he can only think about it, if he dares to be the first one who can't spare him, it will be his own parents, who have to grab him by the ear and take him back.
"Uncle, let me take this blueprint home and have a look."
Gu Zhao didn't disagree: "You can take it and read it, you're going to stay anyway, go back, don't go to bed too late."
Gu Ren nodded vigorously, then happily went back with the drawings in his hands.
Gu Zhao had so many things to explain tonight that he forgot about his second elder brother and his family. He only remembered it before going to bed. , and earned a few more money.
Now the tofu in Qinghe County has also dropped to ten yuan a piece, and Guji Tofu Square has also fallen, from the original ten yuan to the current eight yuan. If you sell two boards of tofu, you can earn [-] Wen a day.
Gu Zhao also passed it in his mind, and in a blink of an eye, he put it aside and went to sleep. With his parents staring at him and his elder brother around, Gu Erniu couldn't turn the sky around.
One night passed, and on the second day, the two elders reluctantly sent Gu Zhao and Gu Mu to the entrance of the village, and the people in the big house did the same. They wanted to send Gu Zhao and Gu Yao, and told Gu Yao not to cause trouble for her uncle, but to be obedient He was obedient and was still taking care of his uncle's life for them, so Gu Yao naturally had nothing to do with it.
Uncle Zhang waved his whip and started the carriage, and the figures of Shuiyun Village and the Gu family gradually faded away again.
Gu Zhao was not hypocritical, and quickly let go of that bit of reluctance. This time the road to Fucheng will not be peaceful, and Gu Yao is with him, so he must be safe no matter what.
On the way to meet Li Wen in Qinghe County, Gu Zhao told Gu Yao the truth about the whole incident. Once he heard that he was being watched by the Gao family, he might do something on the way. Gu Yao didn’t feel any sadness. I was so shocked that I couldn't speak.
Gu Zhao smiled and said, "If Yao'er gets scared, I'll ask Uncle Zhang to send you back."
Gu Yao shook her head quickly: "Even the wood followed, I am bigger than the wood."
Gu Mu made a funny face at her: "You are a junior, eldest niece."
Gu Yao wanted to beat the wood.
Gu Yao was indeed a little flustered, but it was impossible to make her turn back. She had already seen the outside world, so she knew very well that if she turned back this time, she might not have a chance to come out again.
Gu Yao tried to calm herself down and said, "Uncle, I won't go back. Uncle, tell me, what should I do?"
Seeing her like this, Gu Zhao couldn't help but want to reach out and pat her on the head, but she is too old, so Gu Zhao can't do such a move, so he said with a smile: "As long as Yao'er is not afraid, it will be fine after meeting Li Wen." , Listen to what he found there, we will discuss it later, if something really happens, Yao'er just needs to stay in the carriage and not make a sound."
Gu Yao nodded vigorously.
This is also the reason why Gu Zhao is willing to let his parents stay at home this time. Parents are old and can't bear to be frightened. Unexpectedly, the matter of the second brother's house will hold them back. They have the idea of staying at home , what Gu Zhao has to do is push the boat along the way.
At this time, Gu Mu shook his head and said triumphantly: "I am very good. I have practiced martial arts, and I can deal with several of them by myself. I can help my brother, but you, my eldest niece, can't do it."
Gu Yao gritted her teeth, still wanting to beat the dead child: "You don't remember anything, how do you know you have practiced martial arts?"
Gu Mu waved his small fist: "Instinct, my body remembers that I must be very powerful and a big shot."
Gu Zhao laughed out loud. Gu Yao felt that this was a dead kid who could talk big, and he was a big shot, a big shot who would cause her amnesia, so she was ashamed.
After arriving in Qinghe County, Li Wen and the people hired by the Escort Bureau joined together, except for Gu Yao who rode in a carriage, Gu Zhao and Gu Mu all rode on horses. Gu Zhaochai.
The county did not stop, and went directly out of the city on the official road to Fucheng. Gu Zhao, who was riding on a horse, exchanged news with Li Wen.
Knowing that there was this annoying fly from the Gao family, how could Gu Zhao not be on guard when he returned to Qinghe County? Even Shuiyun Village was also taken care of by the Tuoqi family, so after returning, Li Wen still had a task, which was to Staring at the movement of the Gao family.
Li Wen admired Gu Zhao very much, and said: "Young master Gu is right. The Gao family sent people out of the city. I sent people to follow the Gao family far behind. I found that they had contacted a group of bandits. On the road, we attacked Mr. Gu, but our people were a little far away, so we don’t know the specific content of their conversation at that time, but they have been following, and there are news to send back, so where they plan to attack, we will also get the news in advance. "
"Okay, it's good if I can get the news in advance. If I can, I don't want to wait for them to strike before I fight back." Gu Zhao's idea is to strike in advance, take the other party out of the pot first, and send a gift to Mr. Song Cheng , Suppressing bandits is also his credit.
Li Wen was eager to try it: "You can take care of your son's safety..." This is the only thing he has to worry about.
"Don't worry, my archery skills are not bad. I have bows and arrows in the carriage, so I say it's suitable to do it in advance, so that they can't sneak attack and get attacked instead."
"Okay, then follow the son's order."
The reason why Li Wen can agree is that the environment under Mr. Song's rule is still okay, and there are no bandits on a large scale. Yes, the Qi family is also used to running on this road, so Li Wen is also very clear about these situations.
Li Wen turned around and discussed with the two elder brothers of the bodyguard agency. The two elder brothers also agreed to act with them, which was more beneficial than being forced to fight in advance. Of course, this was also because the opponent's actions were under their control.
After staying overnight on the first night, Li Wen went out for a trip, and when he came back, he brought back accurate information, that is, the location where the thief was ambushing and preparing to attack. Gu Zhao has a good memory, and he will soon be able to draw out the surrounding terrain based on this location. The two big brothers called Escort also admired it, especially Gu Zhao's suggestion to take the initiative to strike ahead of time. Judging from his appearance, he is a frail scholar, but this scholar is so bold.
They often walk around the area of Qingling Mansion, how could they have never heard of Gu Zhao's name, and the lawsuit he had with the Gao family in Qinghe County back then, they never thought that the Gao family would not let it go, this is absolutely determined to kill Gu Zhao Zhao is a scholar.
Fortunately, it was Gu Zhao who met, otherwise other scholars would have been recruited long ago, and there is nowhere to ask for an explanation.
They are also very loyal, and decided to cooperate with Gu Zhao this time, and it is best to get rid of all those people as Gu Zhao said. The last thing they want to see is this kind of rebellious bandit.
"Since they're going to ambush us here, we don't have to rush on our way tomorrow. We'll still stay at night, and we'll do it at night."
"it is good!"
After informing Gu Yao, Gu Zhao and the others were not in a hurry.
Even if they stumbled against Gu Zhao once, the Gao family still looked down on Gu Zhao, and they didn't think that Gu Zhao, a scholar from a farming family, could escape this arrangement and walk out of the bandits intact.
If Gu Zhao is really a scholar who has not seen much of the world, it is indeed easy to fall into the hands of the Gao family. Whether it is the book or the life in Gu Zhen's memory, Gu Zhao has indeed stumbled, but he still puts him It would be a big mistake to treat him as a frail scholar in the past.
When it was completely dark the next day, Gu Zhao asked Gu Yao to lock the door tightly, leaving Uncle Zhang to guard outside, and no one should come unless they came back. people see.
To the surprise of the two elder brothers of the Escort Bureau, Li Wen's younger brother is nothing more than a nimble man. Gu Zhao and Gu Mu, the two brothers, are no worse than Li Wen. Is Gu Zhao really a weak scholar?
Compared with Gu Zhao, he not only has a better brain, but also is not much inferior to them in skill. If the archery is as good as he said, then they will be ashamed to death.
I have walked the official road here a few times, and few people will not go the wrong way. After driving for nearly half an hour, thanks to the fact that it is not a full moon at night, but there are no dark clouds to cover it, so I can still see clearly after adapting to the darkness. surrounding scenery.
When approaching the bandits' ambush, Li Wen uttered an owl-like cry. It didn't take long for someone to follow the sound, and it was Li Wenrang's Qi family's servants who were following the bandits.
"Brother Li, you are finally here."
"Don't talk nonsense, where are those people hiding? Maybe take us to look around? It's best not to alarm them."
"No problem, those guys are very poor. We thought that no one would notice their movements, so we will take you there."
"it is good."
It took another 10 minutes for them to find the place where the bandits were hiding. They had to act after dawn, so they were resting in the open air at this moment, and they could still smell the smell of alcohol when they were downwind.
"Look, they are over there. There are eleven people in total, and one of them is sent by the Gao family."
"The members of the Gao family are still here? It's great, this time the Gao family must be crushed to death!" Gu Zhao almost laughed out loud when he heard this. The tail of the house, can only let the fly buzzing down.
But I didn't expect the other party to be so big-hearted. Even if Yongninghou came forward this time, don't even think about Song Cheng letting the Gao family go, otherwise Song Cheng would directly sue Yongninghou, and Yongninghou would not be able to bear it in front of the emperor. go around.
This is a bandit, what does Marquis Yongning want to do with a bandit?What's more, Gu Zhao is not only not white now, but has been personally rewarded by the emperor, so what do the Gao family and Marquis Yongning want to do?Don't you think too much of him as the emperor?
If the emperor is not suspicious, then he is not the emperor.
"Well, not only does it smell of wine, but it also smells of meat. These guys really enjoy it." A big brother in the escort agency has a sharp nose, and he can smell the smell of meat coming from there.
The other elder brother could also see the joy on Gu Zhao's face, and said, "Speaking of which, if it weren't for Mr. Gu's clever calculations, the Gao family's wishful thinking would have succeeded. If they thought about it, Mr. Gu would definitely not be able to escape, so Mr. Gao The members of the Gao family boldly stayed, so that they could go back and claim credit to the master of the Gao family after seeing the results, but who made them have the bad luck to meet Mr. Gu."
The man couldn't help showing a smile while talking in a low voice, when he was caught, the Gao family would definitely not pass so easily this time, it was not something that could be settled by paying 1000 taels of silver.
Damn it, who told them to keep an eye on Mr. Gu? According to them, Gu Zhao's insight and insight will surely have a bright future in the future, so they must help Gu Zhao to the end this time.
Among them, only Gu Zhao brought a bow and arrow. The others took knives and approached the group quietly. After entering Gu Zhao's shooting range, Gu Zhao signaled to everyone, and began to take the arrow and draw the bow to aim.
Except for Gu Mu's confidence in his brother, the others are not very clear about the extent of Gu Zhao's archery skills.
With a sound of "咻", the arrow was shot out, but the opponent did not arouse any vigilance. When the person hit by the arrow screamed, the others screamed.
"what happened?"
"It's not good, Lao Liu got hit by an arrow, it's not good, someone sneaked up on us, ah..."
Gu Zhao shot one arrow, but Gu Mu immediately passed the arrow over. Gu Zhao picked it up and continued to shoot the second arrow. The second person also hit the arrow. Such a hit rate made the two guards and Li Wen stare at it. It’s wonderful that the eyes are wide open. The three of them didn’t just look at it, they made a gesture and went out to surround the group of people. Gu Mu was the only one left beside Gu Zhao. Gu Mu took a handful of firewood. The knife is ready.
Thanks to those guys who set up a fire when they were resting at night, they could see the scene there clearly and Gu Zhao could shoot accurately. When Gu Zhao shot the fourth person, the two guards and Li Wen Ye finally jumped out and slashed at them with a knife.
How can these mobs be the opponents of the two big brothers in the bodyguard bureau? Li Wen's skills are also good, and there is a master archer hiding in the dark and shooting four people in a row, which has made these people flustered, and they all panicked and wanted to escape outside.
Gu Mu's hands were itchy to see, but he could not bear to look at his brother.
Gu Zhao drew the bow again to look for a target to shoot, and said to Gu Mu, "Go out if you want, but be careful and safe, I don't have to worry about it here."
"Brother, be careful." Gu Mu got the order, and immediately jumped out. He didn't run very far, and bumped into a person rushing in this direction without thinking. In a misfortune, Gu Mu cut his leg with a hatchet, and the man fell to the ground and howled.
Seeing that Gu Zhao was relieved, he took another shot and shot another person down. He didn't need to worry about the rest at all. One of them failed to escape, and they all fell to the ground with injuries. Gu Mu then left the hiding place. out.
At this time, a person who fell on the ground was yelling at Li Wen and the others, claiming to let them go quickly, otherwise they would be unable to eat and walk around. Gu Zhao who came out laughed immediately.
Li Wen looked at them with a knife in his hand, then turned to Gu Zhao and said, "Thanks to Mr. Gu's superb archery skills, otherwise it would not be easy to catch them all."
Mr. Gu?The man's head stiffly looked towards the place where the laughter came from, and when Gu Zhao walked into the light, the man suddenly showed panic when he saw Gu Zhao's appearance clearly: "How could it be you?"
"Why can't it be me? Your master of the Gao family wants to kill me, Gu Zhao, but I, Gu Zhao, have great fortune and fate. I don't know if you will go to the end of that Mrs. Wang this time, or the whole Gao family will pay for it." ?” Gu Zhao raised his eyebrows and jokingly laughed in the firelight, but it frightened the servants of the Gao family, who dared to speak wild words before, but now they trembled.
They knew the fate of Mrs. Wang very well. After Qiuhou was taken to the execution ground and had her head beheaded, there was even a few rumors about this among the servants of the Gao family.
But such a big battle didn't hurt Gu Zhao in the slightest, and the servant of the Gao family was so frightened that he begged for mercy: "Young master Gu, you are too young to see Mount Tai, please take your life if you are always hungry. Little lives are worthless, they are all ordered by the master, and the little ones still have seniors and juniors..."
"Hey!" Gu Zhao interrupted his begging for mercy with a sneer, "If you can think clearly about this before you do it, you won't have the current scene. You should wait to plead with the magistrate, maybe your master's methods are as good as the sky. , may not be able to rescue you."
"That's right, why is Mr. Gu still ignoring them? Mr. Gu, why don't you tie them up?" A big brother from the escort agency asked, admiring Gu Zhao very much at the moment, and a frail scholar was even more powerful than them.
"Yes, the big brothers worked hard to tie them up firmly, and then sent them to Qingling Mansion to be handed over to the government officials."
"Okay, leave it on us, we will guarantee that none of them will be able to break free." The escort boss readily agreed.
Gu Mu ran over and kicked the servant of Gao's family, just in time to kick the wound, causing the man to scream again.
When the bandits heard that they were going to be handed over to the Fucheng Yamen, they also scrambled to beg for mercy and put all the blame on the servants of the Gao family. How did the servants of the Gao family find them and what did they want them to do? Ten said it.
It turned out that their plan was not to want Gu Zhao's life, but to still have his arms and legs amputated, and they didn't choose one, they had to have both arms and legs amputated, and they also wanted to find the soap prescription from him. The Gao family is so talented that they even found out that Gu Zhao participated in the soap workshop.
The Gao family is not only cruel, but also very greedy. They want people and wealth. Gu Zhao laughed when he heard it, but the servants of the Gao family couldn't care less about screaming, and wished they could shrink themselves so that Gu Zhao could not see it. he.
But no matter how much these bandits begged for mercy, Gu Zhao would never let them go. They dared to take on such a job, which showed that they had done a lot before. Gu Zhao, who came from the end of the world, could tell at a glance that they had people's lives in their hands.
So it's better to send it to Mr. Song Cheng for trial. In the future, there will be fewer bandits on the road, and pedestrians will be safer.
Tied them up and gagged their mouths. Gu Zhao left the two guards and the Qi family guarding here. He took Li Wen and Gu Mu back to the inn where they were staying, and made an appointment to meet again the next day and go to Fucheng together. .
Gu Yao couldn't sleep peacefully until Gu Zhao and the others came back, and she didn't want her uncle or anyone else to get hurt. Just when she was about to grind the floor of the room, Gu Zhao's voice sounded outside: " Did Yao'er fall asleep?"
Gu Yao quickly opened the door, and when she saw that it was indeed Gu Zhao, her eyes were red, and she hurriedly looked at Gu Zhao and Gu Mu: "How are you, uncle? Are you not injured?"
"Okay, your uncle and I have a hundred shots with one hand, so I came back unscathed. If you don't believe me, ask Mu."
"That's right, brother is that powerful." Gu Mu said proudly.
Gu Yao's heart fell back into her stomach.
There is no need to deliberately slow down, so Gu Zhao packed some food at dawn and set off with Gu Yao and the others. The people in the inn didn't notice that there were two people missing from their side. On the way, they met the two elder brothers of the escort At the same time, ten bandits and the servants of the Gao family who colluded with the bandits were also detained.
After a night of torment, with more or less injuries on their bodies, these people's complexions were extremely bad, but no one gave them any sympathy, even Gu Yao just glanced at the carriage, then shrank back, If it weren't for her uncle's powerful moves, these nasty guys would have to succeed this time, so it's too late to hate these people, and she won't show extra kindness.
Gu Zhao also only needs to ensure that these people do not die. Last night, he tried to avoid shooting at vital points.
Tied them to the back of the carriage with a rope, these guys stumbled all the way, and when they arrived at the gate of Fucheng, there was nothing left to breathe. The guards and people who entered and exited the city were shocked when they saw this scene, and rushed to Gu Zhao and the others. They pointed and pointed, but some people recognized Gu Zhao.
"That's Gu Xiucai, Gu Zhao Gu Xiucai, don't you recognize him?"
"Then these people are..." Knowing that he is Gu Zhao, he became suspicious of the group of people brought by him in a panic.
A small leader at the gate of the city also hurried over, looked at Gu Zhao a few times and asked, "Are you Gu Zhao and Gu Xiucai?"
"That's right, it's Gu." Gu Zhao took out his identity document for the other party to check.
After the other party saw that there was no difference, his attitude became respectful, and he returned the document to Gu Zhao and asked, "Then these people..."
"These thieves were lying in ambush on the way to do harm to Gu, but Gu found out in advance, so he simply took them away, so as not to continue to harm passers-by, please send someone to send them to the government office, and explain to Mr. Song One sound."
"What? They're bandits? Good! I'll personally lead people to escort them to the government office and hand them over to Mr. Song. Gu Xiucai is not injured, right?"
Gu Zhao pointed to the two elder brothers of the Escort Bureau: "Fortunately, two elder brothers were invited from the Escort Bureau to accompany them for protection, so that the other party did not succeed, and Gu Mou was unharmed."
The little boss was very glad to hear that, and he took Gu Zhao's words seriously. In everyone's impression, Gu Zhao was a frail scholar, but the two big brothers in the escort agency were speechless. Gu Zhao spoke nonsense with a serious face.
The little boss immediately bid farewell to Gu Zhao, and brought a group of people to escort the bandits into the city. Gu Zhao and the others also entered the city, leaving behind the people who entered and exited the city gate to talk a lot. The information shocked them too much.
"Another person wants to be unfavorable to Gu Xiucai? What kind of bad luck did Gu Xiucai have?"
"It can't be called bad luck. Gu Xiucai was selected as a scholar, and he was also rewarded by the emperor. Some small thieves ended up in Gu Xiucai's hands. Gu Xiucai didn't lose even a hair."
"I said, it can't be the Gao family in Qinghe County who did it again?"
"No way, the Gao family has a lot of grudges against Gu Xiucai, so they don't let Gu Xiucai go? Besides, Gu Xiucai has been rewarded by a saint. How dare the Gao family attack Gu Xiucai? What do they think of a saint?"
"Who knows what the Gao family is thinking, maybe there is something behind this that we ordinary people don't know."
The scene at the gate of the city spread rapidly to the inside of the city. It is conceivable that Gu Zhao will once again become the focus of attention of all parties in the Qingling Mansion soon.
Not long after entering the city, Gu Zhao bid farewell to the two elder brothers of the Escort Bureau, and thanked them for escorting them all the way. One of them was surnamed Shi and the other was surnamed Mao. Now it's not easy to poach someone based on his status as a scholar.
Therefore, when parting, Gu Zhao said with a smile: "The two elder brothers have traveled all over the world and learned a lot. If they don't work in the escort agency in the future, where will the two elder brothers go?"
The two glanced at each other after hearing this, they were both smart people, it was impossible for Gu Zhao to say these words for no reason, so the two also guessed what Gu Zhao was thinking, but it was too sudden for them to react in time.
One of them said: "I haven't thought about such things yet, since Gu Xiucai mentioned it, let us think about it."
"it is good."
After they separated, the two were still a little surprised, and they spoke again after walking on the road for a while.
"Brother Shi, you said that Gu Xiucai..."
"Brother Mao is talking about Gu Xiucai's future. If there is no matter that Gu Xiucai just mentioned, would you and I be optimistic about Gu Xiucai's future?"
"That's naturally optimistic."
The two looked at each other again, yes, they were optimistic about Gu Zhao's future, and following Gu Zhao would definitely be better than their current life in the Escort. The best future in the Escort is to be an Escort head. Fortunately, there will be times when they miss, and if they are injured or disabled, the situation will be even worse. If Gu Zhao can become an official in the future, their identities following Gu Zhao will be very different.
Both of them were moved. Those who have become officials must look down on them. They have their own loyal servants around them. Only people from small families like Gu Zhao and Song Ze who have fewer helpers around them will have a chance. Let them bet that in the future, Gu Zhao and Song Zefei will be prosperous, and they will be able to follow the chickens and dogs to ascend to heaven.
Not to mention what decision Shi Mao and the two will make in the end, Song Cheng was so shocked when he heard that his men came to report to Gu Zhao and was attacked by bandits that he hurriedly called people in to inquire.
His first reaction would be that the Gao family made the move again, no matter how you look at it, Gu Zhao’s enemy is the Gao family. Of course, there are also people who are jealous of Qi Yunfei and Gu Zhao’s soap business, but he, Song Cheng, is at the front. Those who do it have to weigh it carefully. Even if Gu Zhao is taken down, will they dare to take over this business and treat Song Cheng as dead?
The escorted little leader was immediately called in for questioning, and the information Gu Zhao revealed was limited, so the little leader couldn't say much more, so Song Cheng immediately had the bandits interrogated, and naturally what he wanted was quickly revealed. Sending it to Song Cheng, Song Cheng was so angry that he patted the table.
He gave the Gao family face because of his relationship with the Marquis of Yongning. None of the masters of the Gao family were held accountable, but what did the Gao family do?They clearly relied on the Marquis of Yongning to slap him in the face of Song Cheng. He, Song Cheng, is so cheap, how dare a little Gao family not take it seriously?
The Gao family is really brave!
Song Cheng asked people to put the bandits and the Gao family's servants in prison, and went back to the mansion to discuss with his wife. Although he was very angry, he was not out of his mind, and he didn't want to let the Gao family go just like that this time, otherwise he would be in the future. Where does he put his face in the Qingling Mansion?
Mrs. Song was also furious. The Gao family really regarded Yongninghou as a signboard, and dared to do anything, even if it was placed in the capital, Gu Zhao, who had just won the honor of the Holy One, would have to be considered if the dignitaries in the capital wanted to move him. Will it annoy His Majesty, but she doesn't know how to describe this Gao family, they are not ignorant and fearless, they are clearly ignorant and stupid.
"What is the master going to do?" Mrs. Song asked.
"I've thought about it on the way back. You and I are much closer to Gu Zhao. There's no need to be unhappy because of a Gao family, and it will also affect my face. Now that His Majesty still remembers Gu Zhao, why not The above book tells him that the Marquis of Yongning and the Gao family are in the same position."
"Okay, then I will cooperate with the master to write a letter to my father. My father mentioned Gu Xiaoxiu in his letter before."
"Okay, let's do this. When I bring those people to court for interrogation, and I find out who is behind the scenes, I will let someone take them down immediately." A little Gao family dares to run rampant in his territory. It is really nice to give him some color. Dare to open a dyeing workshop.
Qi Yunfei also got the news at the first time, and flew over to visit Gu Zhao. He was relieved to see that he was really safe and sound. When he first heard the news, he was so shocked that he broke out in cold sweat
Compared with the second sister, the affairs of the eldest sister's family are much easier to handle. The eldest sister's family is short of money. If she can earn money, the eldest sister can handle other things well, but is the Liu family short of money?They seem to lack everything, but in fact they lack everything, because the Liu family is not greedy enough, no matter how much they give them, they will not be too much, and they will want more, so it is impossible for Gu Zhao not to separate the relationship Something for the second sister's house.
On this day, the eldest brother-in-law helped Gu Daniu with his work for a whole morning. In his words, he was idle anyway, so he had the strength to do it. The second brother-in-law couldn't see it later, so he was embarrassed to sit alone The brother-in-law was busy there, so he also went to help later.
The two families had lunch at their natal home, and then went back with gifts brought by the old lady from Fucheng. The nephews were reluctant to part with their grandparents and uncle, especially the two from the second sister's house. The look in the eyes made the second elder feel weak, and he almost let go and let them stay.
After the two daughters left, the old lady sat there sighing, and complained to the old man: "Other people's family treats girls like grass, but it's good to come to Lao Liu's house. A big girl is more important than a son, and a big girl is worse than a son." I took the whole family to eat and drink at the old Liu's house, so tell me what it is."
Gu Zhao had a problem when he heard it, so he asked, "Did the second sister say anything else?"
The old lady's eyes immediately stood up: "Is she still hiding something from her mother? What more outrageous things did the old Liu family do?"
The old man also frowned: "Zhaoer, who did you listen to? Or your second brother-in-law said something in front of you that shouldn't be said?"
The old man was wary of his own family holding back the old son, and he also had to guard against outsiders, such as the two sons-in-law and their family members, so his first reaction was that the second son-in-law said something he shouldn't have said.
Gu Zhao shook his head: "Second brother-in-law didn't say anything. I saw something was wrong and asked my two nephews. Father, mother, the affairs of the second sister's house are really hard to handle, and I think it will worry father and mother again. .”
"Zhaoer, tell me."
Gu Zhao held his chin and said, "Second sister's eldest aunt's husband's family seems to have lost money in business, so now they are relying on their natal family to live. Mrs. Liu took her two grandchildren to her side to take care of them herself, and also used the Liu family's Sending them money to study, the Liu family is not really rich enough to open their hands to use the money, so after giving those two, the children of the second sister's family just..."
The old lady became furious when she heard it, and slapped the table to scold: "Damn girl, you actually kept such a big matter from us, and I didn't tell you when I questioned her. Does she have my mother in her heart? And that old hag of the Liu family , Myolie's child is not from his old Liu's family? He didn't drag the old Liu's children to help his son-in-law's family, old man, tomorrow we will go to the old Liu's house and ask, what do they think of the old Liu's family? In order to let the second son-in-law be our Gu family's door-to-door son-in-law, their old Liu family can't afford to support our Gu family."
Gu Zhao laughed: "Their Liu family's idea is more than that. Their old Liu family's idea is to let our Gu family take care of their old Liu family. They want us to take care of them, but they won't let the second brother-in-law change into our Gu family's door-to-door son-in-law. .”
The old lady was even angrier. This is what the old Liu's family is holding on to. How can there be such a good thing in the world.
The old man is also annoyed, the old Liu family is eyeing their Gu family, what a good plan!Fortunately, he used to think that the old Liu family was a decent person, and he had a good impression of the second son-in-law.
Although the old man was annoyed, his mind was still very clear. He couldn't give the Liu family a chance to entangle his old son, so he said to Gu Zhao, "You'd better go back to Fucheng tomorrow morning. There can't be any delay there. The family matters are up to the two of us." An old man, and your brother and sister-in-law, you don't have to worry about family affairs when you go back."
Gu Zhao's energy is all about studying, and he is still young, so he is definitely not as experienced as their elders in dealing with these matters.
Gu Zhao nodded. He didn't think about it at first. The key to this matter lies in how the second brother-in-law chooses, whether he chooses his wife and children or the mother-in-law. Judging from the fact that the second brother-in-law didn't mention it to him today, Gu Zhao Zhao's impression of her second brother-in-law is not too bad.
"Father, I want to help Eldest Sister's family. I've come up with a plan. After I leave, my father and mother will leave it to Eldest Sister. It's up to Eldest Sister to decide whether to do it or not."
The old man and the old lady were heartbroken. The old son not only respected the two elders, but also took care of the elder sister. As for where Fang Zi came from, the two elders didn't care. After all, they still don't know if the person in front of them is their old son. ?
"You are kind-hearted. After taking care of the family, you have to take care of your elder sister. Mother can't say that you can't help your elder sister. Your elder sister's family must remember your kindness." For the old lady, her daughter is also in her body. A piece of meat that fell off might not hurt, but I also know that my son has no responsibility to help his eldest sister's family. The son can think that it is because of his kindness.
"Mother..." Gu Zhao was a little embarrassed by the praise, and entangled with his mother, "That's also my sister, who used to take care of me when I was young."
The harmony between the sons and daughters is what the two elders are most happy to see, and their mood has improved a lot. Gu Zhao explained the specific process of making fermented bean curd to the two elders in detail. Yes, it can be done for sure.
I didn't directly give the tofu recipe to Gu Tao, and the two elders also thought it was very good. Anyway, it is very convenient to get tofu from here. It is enough for the daughter to specialize in fermented bean curd. Before the fermented bean curd can be sold to make money, the son-in-law can still get tofu Going out to sell will not delay the time to earn money. The old man also thinks that his son has considered everything, including his second brother's affairs.
Gu Zhao talked a lot to the elders that night, and told his eldest brother and sister-in-law to take good care of his parents. Finally, he left the revised blueprints of the new house to the elders. If no one else said anything, Gu Ren's eyes glowed. It can be built like this, and the things inside can also be made like this.
It sounds like it would cost a lot of money, but the two elders didn't feel sorry for Gu Zhao, because they knew that there was a share of the restaurant and the soap business, so the old son would not be short of money, and the house was ready, and he would be able to live there when he came back. Comfortable, the two elders will naturally do their best to meet Gu Zhao's request.
"Ren'er is also interested?"
Gu Ren blushed a little, but still nodded.
Gu Zhao has thought about Gu Ren's future. He is very embarrassing at his age, and if he goes to school, he can only recognize a few words. It is difficult to get ahead by reading, but there are other ways out. Gu Zhao thinks it is also difficult to rely on being a carpenter For a big development, Gu Ren's personality is stable, but he is not smart enough, otherwise it is a way out to bring him by his side as a helper.
Seeing that Gu Ren is interested now, Gu Zhao felt that he should learn more. Anyway, there are too many skills to overwhelm him. If he learns well, he may be able to find a good way out of it.
So Gu Zhao said: "Then Ren'er, you will follow your grandfather. When the time comes to build the house, you will learn more, and there are some things in my blueprint that are not available outside. They need to be specially ordered. Then you will follow him." See how much you can grasp."
Gu Zhao and Gu Ren explained in detail, such as the tiles and other sanitary products needed in the bathroom, how to make the sewer pipes, and the design of the water tank. Gu Ren became more and more interested when he heard it, and wished he could stay up all night Hearing his brother-in-law explain it to him, but it's a pity that he can only think about it, if he dares to be the first one who can't spare him, it will be his own parents, who have to grab him by the ear and take him back.
"Uncle, let me take this blueprint home and have a look."
Gu Zhao didn't disagree: "You can take it and read it, you're going to stay anyway, go back, don't go to bed too late."
Gu Ren nodded vigorously, then happily went back with the drawings in his hands.
Gu Zhao had so many things to explain tonight that he forgot about his second elder brother and his family. He only remembered it before going to bed. , and earned a few more money.
Now the tofu in Qinghe County has also dropped to ten yuan a piece, and Guji Tofu Square has also fallen, from the original ten yuan to the current eight yuan. If you sell two boards of tofu, you can earn [-] Wen a day.
Gu Zhao also passed it in his mind, and in a blink of an eye, he put it aside and went to sleep. With his parents staring at him and his elder brother around, Gu Erniu couldn't turn the sky around.
One night passed, and on the second day, the two elders reluctantly sent Gu Zhao and Gu Mu to the entrance of the village, and the people in the big house did the same. They wanted to send Gu Zhao and Gu Yao, and told Gu Yao not to cause trouble for her uncle, but to be obedient He was obedient and was still taking care of his uncle's life for them, so Gu Yao naturally had nothing to do with it.
Uncle Zhang waved his whip and started the carriage, and the figures of Shuiyun Village and the Gu family gradually faded away again.
Gu Zhao was not hypocritical, and quickly let go of that bit of reluctance. This time the road to Fucheng will not be peaceful, and Gu Yao is with him, so he must be safe no matter what.
On the way to meet Li Wen in Qinghe County, Gu Zhao told Gu Yao the truth about the whole incident. Once he heard that he was being watched by the Gao family, he might do something on the way. Gu Yao didn’t feel any sadness. I was so shocked that I couldn't speak.
Gu Zhao smiled and said, "If Yao'er gets scared, I'll ask Uncle Zhang to send you back."
Gu Yao shook her head quickly: "Even the wood followed, I am bigger than the wood."
Gu Mu made a funny face at her: "You are a junior, eldest niece."
Gu Yao wanted to beat the wood.
Gu Yao was indeed a little flustered, but it was impossible to make her turn back. She had already seen the outside world, so she knew very well that if she turned back this time, she might not have a chance to come out again.
Gu Yao tried to calm herself down and said, "Uncle, I won't go back. Uncle, tell me, what should I do?"
Seeing her like this, Gu Zhao couldn't help but want to reach out and pat her on the head, but she is too old, so Gu Zhao can't do such a move, so he said with a smile: "As long as Yao'er is not afraid, it will be fine after meeting Li Wen." , Listen to what he found there, we will discuss it later, if something really happens, Yao'er just needs to stay in the carriage and not make a sound."
Gu Yao nodded vigorously.
This is also the reason why Gu Zhao is willing to let his parents stay at home this time. Parents are old and can't bear to be frightened. Unexpectedly, the matter of the second brother's house will hold them back. They have the idea of staying at home , what Gu Zhao has to do is push the boat along the way.
At this time, Gu Mu shook his head and said triumphantly: "I am very good. I have practiced martial arts, and I can deal with several of them by myself. I can help my brother, but you, my eldest niece, can't do it."
Gu Yao gritted her teeth, still wanting to beat the dead child: "You don't remember anything, how do you know you have practiced martial arts?"
Gu Mu waved his small fist: "Instinct, my body remembers that I must be very powerful and a big shot."
Gu Zhao laughed out loud. Gu Yao felt that this was a dead kid who could talk big, and he was a big shot, a big shot who would cause her amnesia, so she was ashamed.
After arriving in Qinghe County, Li Wen and the people hired by the Escort Bureau joined together, except for Gu Yao who rode in a carriage, Gu Zhao and Gu Mu all rode on horses. Gu Zhaochai.
The county did not stop, and went directly out of the city on the official road to Fucheng. Gu Zhao, who was riding on a horse, exchanged news with Li Wen.
Knowing that there was this annoying fly from the Gao family, how could Gu Zhao not be on guard when he returned to Qinghe County? Even Shuiyun Village was also taken care of by the Tuoqi family, so after returning, Li Wen still had a task, which was to Staring at the movement of the Gao family.
Li Wen admired Gu Zhao very much, and said: "Young master Gu is right. The Gao family sent people out of the city. I sent people to follow the Gao family far behind. I found that they had contacted a group of bandits. On the road, we attacked Mr. Gu, but our people were a little far away, so we don’t know the specific content of their conversation at that time, but they have been following, and there are news to send back, so where they plan to attack, we will also get the news in advance. "
"Okay, it's good if I can get the news in advance. If I can, I don't want to wait for them to strike before I fight back." Gu Zhao's idea is to strike in advance, take the other party out of the pot first, and send a gift to Mr. Song Cheng , Suppressing bandits is also his credit.
Li Wen was eager to try it: "You can take care of your son's safety..." This is the only thing he has to worry about.
"Don't worry, my archery skills are not bad. I have bows and arrows in the carriage, so I say it's suitable to do it in advance, so that they can't sneak attack and get attacked instead."
"Okay, then follow the son's order."
The reason why Li Wen can agree is that the environment under Mr. Song's rule is still okay, and there are no bandits on a large scale. Yes, the Qi family is also used to running on this road, so Li Wen is also very clear about these situations.
Li Wen turned around and discussed with the two elder brothers of the bodyguard agency. The two elder brothers also agreed to act with them, which was more beneficial than being forced to fight in advance. Of course, this was also because the opponent's actions were under their control.
After staying overnight on the first night, Li Wen went out for a trip, and when he came back, he brought back accurate information, that is, the location where the thief was ambushing and preparing to attack. Gu Zhao has a good memory, and he will soon be able to draw out the surrounding terrain based on this location. The two big brothers called Escort also admired it, especially Gu Zhao's suggestion to take the initiative to strike ahead of time. Judging from his appearance, he is a frail scholar, but this scholar is so bold.
They often walk around the area of Qingling Mansion, how could they have never heard of Gu Zhao's name, and the lawsuit he had with the Gao family in Qinghe County back then, they never thought that the Gao family would not let it go, this is absolutely determined to kill Gu Zhao Zhao is a scholar.
Fortunately, it was Gu Zhao who met, otherwise other scholars would have been recruited long ago, and there is nowhere to ask for an explanation.
They are also very loyal, and decided to cooperate with Gu Zhao this time, and it is best to get rid of all those people as Gu Zhao said. The last thing they want to see is this kind of rebellious bandit.
"Since they're going to ambush us here, we don't have to rush on our way tomorrow. We'll still stay at night, and we'll do it at night."
"it is good!"
After informing Gu Yao, Gu Zhao and the others were not in a hurry.
Even if they stumbled against Gu Zhao once, the Gao family still looked down on Gu Zhao, and they didn't think that Gu Zhao, a scholar from a farming family, could escape this arrangement and walk out of the bandits intact.
If Gu Zhao is really a scholar who has not seen much of the world, it is indeed easy to fall into the hands of the Gao family. Whether it is the book or the life in Gu Zhen's memory, Gu Zhao has indeed stumbled, but he still puts him It would be a big mistake to treat him as a frail scholar in the past.
When it was completely dark the next day, Gu Zhao asked Gu Yao to lock the door tightly, leaving Uncle Zhang to guard outside, and no one should come unless they came back. people see.
To the surprise of the two elder brothers of the Escort Bureau, Li Wen's younger brother is nothing more than a nimble man. Gu Zhao and Gu Mu, the two brothers, are no worse than Li Wen. Is Gu Zhao really a weak scholar?
Compared with Gu Zhao, he not only has a better brain, but also is not much inferior to them in skill. If the archery is as good as he said, then they will be ashamed to death.
I have walked the official road here a few times, and few people will not go the wrong way. After driving for nearly half an hour, thanks to the fact that it is not a full moon at night, but there are no dark clouds to cover it, so I can still see clearly after adapting to the darkness. surrounding scenery.
When approaching the bandits' ambush, Li Wen uttered an owl-like cry. It didn't take long for someone to follow the sound, and it was Li Wenrang's Qi family's servants who were following the bandits.
"Brother Li, you are finally here."
"Don't talk nonsense, where are those people hiding? Maybe take us to look around? It's best not to alarm them."
"No problem, those guys are very poor. We thought that no one would notice their movements, so we will take you there."
"it is good."
It took another 10 minutes for them to find the place where the bandits were hiding. They had to act after dawn, so they were resting in the open air at this moment, and they could still smell the smell of alcohol when they were downwind.
"Look, they are over there. There are eleven people in total, and one of them is sent by the Gao family."
"The members of the Gao family are still here? It's great, this time the Gao family must be crushed to death!" Gu Zhao almost laughed out loud when he heard this. The tail of the house, can only let the fly buzzing down.
But I didn't expect the other party to be so big-hearted. Even if Yongninghou came forward this time, don't even think about Song Cheng letting the Gao family go, otherwise Song Cheng would directly sue Yongninghou, and Yongninghou would not be able to bear it in front of the emperor. go around.
This is a bandit, what does Marquis Yongning want to do with a bandit?What's more, Gu Zhao is not only not white now, but has been personally rewarded by the emperor, so what do the Gao family and Marquis Yongning want to do?Don't you think too much of him as the emperor?
If the emperor is not suspicious, then he is not the emperor.
"Well, not only does it smell of wine, but it also smells of meat. These guys really enjoy it." A big brother in the escort agency has a sharp nose, and he can smell the smell of meat coming from there.
The other elder brother could also see the joy on Gu Zhao's face, and said, "Speaking of which, if it weren't for Mr. Gu's clever calculations, the Gao family's wishful thinking would have succeeded. If they thought about it, Mr. Gu would definitely not be able to escape, so Mr. Gao The members of the Gao family boldly stayed, so that they could go back and claim credit to the master of the Gao family after seeing the results, but who made them have the bad luck to meet Mr. Gu."
The man couldn't help showing a smile while talking in a low voice, when he was caught, the Gao family would definitely not pass so easily this time, it was not something that could be settled by paying 1000 taels of silver.
Damn it, who told them to keep an eye on Mr. Gu? According to them, Gu Zhao's insight and insight will surely have a bright future in the future, so they must help Gu Zhao to the end this time.
Among them, only Gu Zhao brought a bow and arrow. The others took knives and approached the group quietly. After entering Gu Zhao's shooting range, Gu Zhao signaled to everyone, and began to take the arrow and draw the bow to aim.
Except for Gu Mu's confidence in his brother, the others are not very clear about the extent of Gu Zhao's archery skills.
With a sound of "咻", the arrow was shot out, but the opponent did not arouse any vigilance. When the person hit by the arrow screamed, the others screamed.
"what happened?"
"It's not good, Lao Liu got hit by an arrow, it's not good, someone sneaked up on us, ah..."
Gu Zhao shot one arrow, but Gu Mu immediately passed the arrow over. Gu Zhao picked it up and continued to shoot the second arrow. The second person also hit the arrow. Such a hit rate made the two guards and Li Wen stare at it. It’s wonderful that the eyes are wide open. The three of them didn’t just look at it, they made a gesture and went out to surround the group of people. Gu Mu was the only one left beside Gu Zhao. Gu Mu took a handful of firewood. The knife is ready.
Thanks to those guys who set up a fire when they were resting at night, they could see the scene there clearly and Gu Zhao could shoot accurately. When Gu Zhao shot the fourth person, the two guards and Li Wen Ye finally jumped out and slashed at them with a knife.
How can these mobs be the opponents of the two big brothers in the bodyguard bureau? Li Wen's skills are also good, and there is a master archer hiding in the dark and shooting four people in a row, which has made these people flustered, and they all panicked and wanted to escape outside.
Gu Mu's hands were itchy to see, but he could not bear to look at his brother.
Gu Zhao drew the bow again to look for a target to shoot, and said to Gu Mu, "Go out if you want, but be careful and safe, I don't have to worry about it here."
"Brother, be careful." Gu Mu got the order, and immediately jumped out. He didn't run very far, and bumped into a person rushing in this direction without thinking. In a misfortune, Gu Mu cut his leg with a hatchet, and the man fell to the ground and howled.
Seeing that Gu Zhao was relieved, he took another shot and shot another person down. He didn't need to worry about the rest at all. One of them failed to escape, and they all fell to the ground with injuries. Gu Mu then left the hiding place. out.
At this time, a person who fell on the ground was yelling at Li Wen and the others, claiming to let them go quickly, otherwise they would be unable to eat and walk around. Gu Zhao who came out laughed immediately.
Li Wen looked at them with a knife in his hand, then turned to Gu Zhao and said, "Thanks to Mr. Gu's superb archery skills, otherwise it would not be easy to catch them all."
Mr. Gu?The man's head stiffly looked towards the place where the laughter came from, and when Gu Zhao walked into the light, the man suddenly showed panic when he saw Gu Zhao's appearance clearly: "How could it be you?"
"Why can't it be me? Your master of the Gao family wants to kill me, Gu Zhao, but I, Gu Zhao, have great fortune and fate. I don't know if you will go to the end of that Mrs. Wang this time, or the whole Gao family will pay for it." ?” Gu Zhao raised his eyebrows and jokingly laughed in the firelight, but it frightened the servants of the Gao family, who dared to speak wild words before, but now they trembled.
They knew the fate of Mrs. Wang very well. After Qiuhou was taken to the execution ground and had her head beheaded, there was even a few rumors about this among the servants of the Gao family.
But such a big battle didn't hurt Gu Zhao in the slightest, and the servant of the Gao family was so frightened that he begged for mercy: "Young master Gu, you are too young to see Mount Tai, please take your life if you are always hungry. Little lives are worthless, they are all ordered by the master, and the little ones still have seniors and juniors..."
"Hey!" Gu Zhao interrupted his begging for mercy with a sneer, "If you can think clearly about this before you do it, you won't have the current scene. You should wait to plead with the magistrate, maybe your master's methods are as good as the sky. , may not be able to rescue you."
"That's right, why is Mr. Gu still ignoring them? Mr. Gu, why don't you tie them up?" A big brother from the escort agency asked, admiring Gu Zhao very much at the moment, and a frail scholar was even more powerful than them.
"Yes, the big brothers worked hard to tie them up firmly, and then sent them to Qingling Mansion to be handed over to the government officials."
"Okay, leave it on us, we will guarantee that none of them will be able to break free." The escort boss readily agreed.
Gu Mu ran over and kicked the servant of Gao's family, just in time to kick the wound, causing the man to scream again.
When the bandits heard that they were going to be handed over to the Fucheng Yamen, they also scrambled to beg for mercy and put all the blame on the servants of the Gao family. How did the servants of the Gao family find them and what did they want them to do? Ten said it.
It turned out that their plan was not to want Gu Zhao's life, but to still have his arms and legs amputated, and they didn't choose one, they had to have both arms and legs amputated, and they also wanted to find the soap prescription from him. The Gao family is so talented that they even found out that Gu Zhao participated in the soap workshop.
The Gao family is not only cruel, but also very greedy. They want people and wealth. Gu Zhao laughed when he heard it, but the servants of the Gao family couldn't care less about screaming, and wished they could shrink themselves so that Gu Zhao could not see it. he.
But no matter how much these bandits begged for mercy, Gu Zhao would never let them go. They dared to take on such a job, which showed that they had done a lot before. Gu Zhao, who came from the end of the world, could tell at a glance that they had people's lives in their hands.
So it's better to send it to Mr. Song Cheng for trial. In the future, there will be fewer bandits on the road, and pedestrians will be safer.
Tied them up and gagged their mouths. Gu Zhao left the two guards and the Qi family guarding here. He took Li Wen and Gu Mu back to the inn where they were staying, and made an appointment to meet again the next day and go to Fucheng together. .
Gu Yao couldn't sleep peacefully until Gu Zhao and the others came back, and she didn't want her uncle or anyone else to get hurt. Just when she was about to grind the floor of the room, Gu Zhao's voice sounded outside: " Did Yao'er fall asleep?"
Gu Yao quickly opened the door, and when she saw that it was indeed Gu Zhao, her eyes were red, and she hurriedly looked at Gu Zhao and Gu Mu: "How are you, uncle? Are you not injured?"
"Okay, your uncle and I have a hundred shots with one hand, so I came back unscathed. If you don't believe me, ask Mu."
"That's right, brother is that powerful." Gu Mu said proudly.
Gu Yao's heart fell back into her stomach.
There is no need to deliberately slow down, so Gu Zhao packed some food at dawn and set off with Gu Yao and the others. The people in the inn didn't notice that there were two people missing from their side. On the way, they met the two elder brothers of the escort At the same time, ten bandits and the servants of the Gao family who colluded with the bandits were also detained.
After a night of torment, with more or less injuries on their bodies, these people's complexions were extremely bad, but no one gave them any sympathy, even Gu Yao just glanced at the carriage, then shrank back, If it weren't for her uncle's powerful moves, these nasty guys would have to succeed this time, so it's too late to hate these people, and she won't show extra kindness.
Gu Zhao also only needs to ensure that these people do not die. Last night, he tried to avoid shooting at vital points.
Tied them to the back of the carriage with a rope, these guys stumbled all the way, and when they arrived at the gate of Fucheng, there was nothing left to breathe. The guards and people who entered and exited the city were shocked when they saw this scene, and rushed to Gu Zhao and the others. They pointed and pointed, but some people recognized Gu Zhao.
"That's Gu Xiucai, Gu Zhao Gu Xiucai, don't you recognize him?"
"Then these people are..." Knowing that he is Gu Zhao, he became suspicious of the group of people brought by him in a panic.
A small leader at the gate of the city also hurried over, looked at Gu Zhao a few times and asked, "Are you Gu Zhao and Gu Xiucai?"
"That's right, it's Gu." Gu Zhao took out his identity document for the other party to check.
After the other party saw that there was no difference, his attitude became respectful, and he returned the document to Gu Zhao and asked, "Then these people..."
"These thieves were lying in ambush on the way to do harm to Gu, but Gu found out in advance, so he simply took them away, so as not to continue to harm passers-by, please send someone to send them to the government office, and explain to Mr. Song One sound."
"What? They're bandits? Good! I'll personally lead people to escort them to the government office and hand them over to Mr. Song. Gu Xiucai is not injured, right?"
Gu Zhao pointed to the two elder brothers of the Escort Bureau: "Fortunately, two elder brothers were invited from the Escort Bureau to accompany them for protection, so that the other party did not succeed, and Gu Mou was unharmed."
The little boss was very glad to hear that, and he took Gu Zhao's words seriously. In everyone's impression, Gu Zhao was a frail scholar, but the two big brothers in the escort agency were speechless. Gu Zhao spoke nonsense with a serious face.
The little boss immediately bid farewell to Gu Zhao, and brought a group of people to escort the bandits into the city. Gu Zhao and the others also entered the city, leaving behind the people who entered and exited the city gate to talk a lot. The information shocked them too much.
"Another person wants to be unfavorable to Gu Xiucai? What kind of bad luck did Gu Xiucai have?"
"It can't be called bad luck. Gu Xiucai was selected as a scholar, and he was also rewarded by the emperor. Some small thieves ended up in Gu Xiucai's hands. Gu Xiucai didn't lose even a hair."
"I said, it can't be the Gao family in Qinghe County who did it again?"
"No way, the Gao family has a lot of grudges against Gu Xiucai, so they don't let Gu Xiucai go? Besides, Gu Xiucai has been rewarded by a saint. How dare the Gao family attack Gu Xiucai? What do they think of a saint?"
"Who knows what the Gao family is thinking, maybe there is something behind this that we ordinary people don't know."
The scene at the gate of the city spread rapidly to the inside of the city. It is conceivable that Gu Zhao will once again become the focus of attention of all parties in the Qingling Mansion soon.
Not long after entering the city, Gu Zhao bid farewell to the two elder brothers of the Escort Bureau, and thanked them for escorting them all the way. One of them was surnamed Shi and the other was surnamed Mao. Now it's not easy to poach someone based on his status as a scholar.
Therefore, when parting, Gu Zhao said with a smile: "The two elder brothers have traveled all over the world and learned a lot. If they don't work in the escort agency in the future, where will the two elder brothers go?"
The two glanced at each other after hearing this, they were both smart people, it was impossible for Gu Zhao to say these words for no reason, so the two also guessed what Gu Zhao was thinking, but it was too sudden for them to react in time.
One of them said: "I haven't thought about such things yet, since Gu Xiucai mentioned it, let us think about it."
"it is good."
After they separated, the two were still a little surprised, and they spoke again after walking on the road for a while.
"Brother Shi, you said that Gu Xiucai..."
"Brother Mao is talking about Gu Xiucai's future. If there is no matter that Gu Xiucai just mentioned, would you and I be optimistic about Gu Xiucai's future?"
"That's naturally optimistic."
The two looked at each other again, yes, they were optimistic about Gu Zhao's future, and following Gu Zhao would definitely be better than their current life in the Escort. The best future in the Escort is to be an Escort head. Fortunately, there will be times when they miss, and if they are injured or disabled, the situation will be even worse. If Gu Zhao can become an official in the future, their identities following Gu Zhao will be very different.
Both of them were moved. Those who have become officials must look down on them. They have their own loyal servants around them. Only people from small families like Gu Zhao and Song Ze who have fewer helpers around them will have a chance. Let them bet that in the future, Gu Zhao and Song Zefei will be prosperous, and they will be able to follow the chickens and dogs to ascend to heaven.
Not to mention what decision Shi Mao and the two will make in the end, Song Cheng was so shocked when he heard that his men came to report to Gu Zhao and was attacked by bandits that he hurriedly called people in to inquire.
His first reaction would be that the Gao family made the move again, no matter how you look at it, Gu Zhao’s enemy is the Gao family. Of course, there are also people who are jealous of Qi Yunfei and Gu Zhao’s soap business, but he, Song Cheng, is at the front. Those who do it have to weigh it carefully. Even if Gu Zhao is taken down, will they dare to take over this business and treat Song Cheng as dead?
The escorted little leader was immediately called in for questioning, and the information Gu Zhao revealed was limited, so the little leader couldn't say much more, so Song Cheng immediately had the bandits interrogated, and naturally what he wanted was quickly revealed. Sending it to Song Cheng, Song Cheng was so angry that he patted the table.
He gave the Gao family face because of his relationship with the Marquis of Yongning. None of the masters of the Gao family were held accountable, but what did the Gao family do?They clearly relied on the Marquis of Yongning to slap him in the face of Song Cheng. He, Song Cheng, is so cheap, how dare a little Gao family not take it seriously?
The Gao family is really brave!
Song Cheng asked people to put the bandits and the Gao family's servants in prison, and went back to the mansion to discuss with his wife. Although he was very angry, he was not out of his mind, and he didn't want to let the Gao family go just like that this time, otherwise he would be in the future. Where does he put his face in the Qingling Mansion?
Mrs. Song was also furious. The Gao family really regarded Yongninghou as a signboard, and dared to do anything, even if it was placed in the capital, Gu Zhao, who had just won the honor of the Holy One, would have to be considered if the dignitaries in the capital wanted to move him. Will it annoy His Majesty, but she doesn't know how to describe this Gao family, they are not ignorant and fearless, they are clearly ignorant and stupid.
"What is the master going to do?" Mrs. Song asked.
"I've thought about it on the way back. You and I are much closer to Gu Zhao. There's no need to be unhappy because of a Gao family, and it will also affect my face. Now that His Majesty still remembers Gu Zhao, why not The above book tells him that the Marquis of Yongning and the Gao family are in the same position."
"Okay, then I will cooperate with the master to write a letter to my father. My father mentioned Gu Xiaoxiu in his letter before."
"Okay, let's do this. When I bring those people to court for interrogation, and I find out who is behind the scenes, I will let someone take them down immediately." A little Gao family dares to run rampant in his territory. It is really nice to give him some color. Dare to open a dyeing workshop.
Qi Yunfei also got the news at the first time, and flew over to visit Gu Zhao. He was relieved to see that he was really safe and sound. When he first heard the news, he was so shocked that he broke out in cold sweat
