Chapter 86: Side Drum
When Gu Mingda was in Fucheng, he did pry out many Zhang Guangzong's secrets from Xiao Cai through shopkeeper Zheng.
Zhang Guangzong does have a lot of black spots, but many of them cannot be made into an issue because there is no evidence.
The biggest lawsuit against him was not about abducting his nephew, but about cheating in a child test.
The childbirth examination was held in this county and was presided over by the county magistrate. Because of the fraud in the childbirth examination, it was not Zhang Guangzong who was involved, but many people in the county government.
If this matter is really exposed, maybe half of the people in Guang'an County Government will be deeply involved.
More importantly, this incident occurred four years ago during an examination during the term of the previous county magistrate.
The previous county magistrate has already been promoted. If nothing unexpected happens, the county magistrate who takes over will probably not hold the previous officials accountable.
Gu Mingda sighed in his heart. He thought that the husband of Tofu Xishi could teach Zhang Guangzong a lesson, but he didn't expect that this man was rough-skinned and thick-bodied.
He didn't want to expose the fraud in the imperial examination before, but now it seems that he must do so. His hatred for Zhang Guangzong has reached its peak, and he has reached the point where he has to kill them all.
"Ms. sir, is it...is it dangerous?" Zhang Yunniang asked in a low voice.
She has no feelings for her younger brother Zhang Guangzong, and is even more afraid that her husband will involve her in this matter.
Gu Mingda held his wife's hand and said softly: "Don't worry, I have a sense of discretion in my heart. If things can't be done, we will move to the county as soon as possible and hide Niu Niu so that Zhang Guangzong cannot find her."
He is not the kind of impulsive person who insists on fighting for success, so he plans to go to the county to play drums first.
Gu Mingda took another **** and dug out a jar of wine buried under the roots of a tree in the backyard.
Early the next morning, before dawn, Gu Mingda set out for the county.
The rest of the Gu family believed that Gu Mingda was going to the county to buy new year's goods, but they didn't think about Zhang Guangzong.
"Second housing is really developed. The New Year's goods in the town are not good enough, so we have to go to the county to buy them." Chen Chunhua said sourly.
Liu Erni heard this and said: "The things in the county should be better, but I don't know if we can get a share of the things we bought this year?"
Before the family was separated, they were extremely sure that they had their own share, but now they are not so sure.
Chen Chunhua quickly put away the work at hand and said, "Let's see where Da Ya went crazy again."
She used this as an excuse and ran into the room while pulling Boss Gu to mutter.
Liu Erni also returned to her home and saw Gu Xiaoya and Gu Xiaobao who had just returned from playing wildly outside.
As soon as Gu Xiaobao saw his mother, he grinned and started howling: "Mom, my sister won't let me play with Shitou and the others!"
Liu Erni also maintained her usual patriarchal character. She didn't even listen to her daughter's explanation and began to accuse: "How did you become a sister? Do you go out to play or take care of your younger brother? When you play, you become so wild. side!"
Gu Xiaoya couldn't help but want to roll her eyes when she heard these cliche words.
Liu Erni couldn't tolerate her daughter, so she slapped her hard and scolded: "You stinky girl, you don't understand any rules, and you don't look like a girl's family at all. As a sister, you have to take care of your younger brother. I will count on you when you get married." My brother will support you."
Gu Xiaoya replied perfunctorily: "I know."
Liu Erni looked around, lowered her voice and said, "Last time, you ate all the cakes your second uncle gave you, and your brother didn't even have to eat them. If he gives you something this time, you take it back first." Give it to me, you know?”
When the younger brother heard this, he waved his fists and said: "Sister is bad! Second uncle is stingy! I only give it to my sister but not to me!" Gu Xiaoya pressed down her brother's fist and said: "Xiaobao, why are you so stupid? Second uncle is being generous. You were sleeping when he was bringing you cakes, and my mother secretly sent the bag of cakes that belonged to you to your uncle's house. The person you should hate is your uncle, who even robs children of their belongings. "
This was the first time Gu Xiaobao heard about this. For a three-year-old boy, one bite was as big as the sky.
Tears quickly accumulated in his eyes, and he looked at Liu Erni accusingly: "Mom! Give me back my pastries! I want to eat them!"
Liu Erni felt a big headache. She didn't want to be resented by her own son, so she said on the spot: "Your sister ate the pastry given by your second uncle alone. Your sister often snatches food from your mouth. If you believe it, I still believe you." elder sister?"
Gu Xiaobao trusted his mother closely and was really confused at this time.
Gu Xiaoya said from the side: "Hasn't my mother lied to you often? Why are you still fooled by her?"
Liu Erni looked at her daughter as if she were an enemy. She couldn't understand why her daughter couldn't be more sensible and why she had to go against her in everything.
Liu Erni has been brainwashed by Mrs. Liu for many years. She doesn't think there is anything wrong in helping her mother's family. In her opinion, if you have good things, you have to send them back. She can only be well if her brothers are well.
"Mom likes my uncle's cousin more than you." Gu Xiaoya said to her younger brother.
Liu Erni couldn't bear it anymore, slapped her in the face, and cursed: "Smelly girl, you have already ruined your moral character at such a young age. Who taught you to say these things!"
Gu Xiaoya was stunned and immediately let out a sharp explosion.
"grandmother!"
This wasn't the first time she had been beaten, she had already formed muscle memory, and she immediately found someone to support her when this happened.
Liu Erni didn't panic at all this time, but said: "It's useless to ask for your milk. We are all separated, and she can't control so much!"
Gu Xiaoya didn't believe it and rushed into the backyard quickly.
The little girl had a high-pitched voice, and she called out a few times to attract the attention of the whole family.
"Stinky girl, even if you yell at me today, I will take care of you!" Liu Erni shouted after her.
Mrs. Gu protected her granddaughter behind her and asked with a stern face, "What are you causing trouble again?"
"Nai, last time my second uncle came back, he gave each of us a bag of pastries. My mother gave my younger brother's bag to my uncle. She lied to my younger brother and said that my second uncle didn't give it to him. My younger brother felt aggrieved and said that my second uncle was stingy at home." Xiaoya said in front of everyone.
Liu Erni had no time to stop her when a female voice came from behind.
"Third brother and sister, we made a mistake in giving gifts to your third bedroom." Zhang Yunniang's face was extremely ugly.
Liu Erni stumbled and explained: "No, second sister-in-law, you misunderstood..."
Chen Chunhua on the side really smiled like a flower. It was still uncertain whether Gu Mingda would bring them New Year's gifts this time, but based on Liu Erni's behavior, Chen Chunhua felt that Gu Mingda would not give them a third bedroom if he came back with New Year's gifts. .
Chen Chunhua felt that her opportunity had come. In order to get more benefits, she said with a shy face: "Second brother and sister, some people just don't raise her well. No matter how many benefits they give her, they still say bad things behind her back. I'm different. I will keep every bit of kindness in my heart.”
Gu Mingda didn't know that the family was in chaos again in just half a day, so he specially visited Magistrate Wu again with the New Year's gift and the article he had prepared long ago.
