Chapter 665： The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked

Chapter 665 The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked

When Gu Xiuwen walked to Qilixiang earlier, the boy was worried and quickly called the yamen officer to come over.

At this moment, after receiving the order, the government officials stepped forward and took all those who were causing trouble to the government office.

The onlookers saw that things were coming to light, and now they started talking.

“Tsk, these people have really dark hearts.”

"But if you take the money and just do some evil things, you won't be afraid of having children with no buttholes in the future. This will be struck by lightning!"

"Haven't you heard that the mastermind behind this is the second wife of the Lu family? Hey, if you hire people to cause trouble in your cousin's shop, you really won't be afraid of God's punishment!"

“This is called a crooked upper beam and a crooked lower beam. In the past, her father took away her eldest brother’s business, but now of her generation, of course, she can’t get along with her cousin. This is called a daughter inheriting her father’s business.”

“If a girl inherits her father’s inheritance, the whole family will suffer a bad death!”

…”

Others were discussing heatedly, but after all, those people had been taken to the Yamen. Now in front of Gu Xiuwen, the county magistrate, they did not dare to be too presumptuous and hurriedly dispersed in twos and threes.

Even if there is discussion, it should be discussed aside.

After all, too much talk leads to mistakes. If something is wrong, it will be inappropriate.

Seeing that everyone was almost gone, Lu Wenqing hurriedly thanked Gu Xiuwen, "Thank you, Mr. Gu, for rescuing the little girl and upholding justice for Qilixiang."

Lu Wenqing had just arrived and guessed that someone had done it deliberately, but since the other party had come prepared, they even looked for the person who wanted to do it, just to make her suffer a big loss.

She dealt with it, even if she exposed the other party's face, even if she knew it well, as long as they refused to admit it, there was nothing she could do.

But with Gu Xiuwen here and under the authority of the county magistrate, those people were frightened. They showed their flaws in a few words and were frightened out of their courage.

She also breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Wenqing was extremely grateful to Gu Xiuwen at this time.

He was also sweating all over because of the anxiety and anger just now. When the wind blew, Lu Wenqing's voice was hoarse and her body was shaking slightly when she spoke.

Gu Xiuwen noticed this and frowned slightly, "Shopkeeper Lu, you don't have to be polite."

“When someone stirs up trouble and disturbs the people, it is originally a failure of the official’s governance and a dereliction of duty.”

“Master Gu must not say that. Master Gu loves the people like a son and is diligent in official duties. The people all see it. However, no matter how powerful Master Gu is, it is impossible to guard against such ulterior motives.”

Lu Wenqing said, "Yes, Mr. Gu just said that he originally wanted to eat braised mutton?"

"Qilixiang is making such a fuss right now. I'm afraid that it won't be quiet for a while and will disturb Mr. Gu. So the girl will have someone prepare a pot of braised mutton and send it to Mr. Gu together with the side dishes. Let’s go to the house.”

Gu Xiuwen thought for a while and nodded, "Okay, then I'll ask shopkeeper Lu to prepare it. There's no need to send it away deliberately. Let the boy wait here and take it back later."

"Qilixiang is busy right now. Shopkeeper Lu is busy first, so I won't bother you too much and will take my leave first."

“Master Gu, walk slowly.”

Lu Wenqing sent it off, and after Gu Xiuwen had gone far, she went to prepare the braised mutton and side dishes.

On weekdays, Lu Wenqing would also send food to the Gu family, but those were all pastries she made herself, and she picked what she was good at. She didn't know much about Gu Xiuwen's taste.
