Chapter 864 Father and Son Meet
Mr. Gu said: "Yes, I want to sue Gu Dashan for not recognizing me as my biological father after he became rich! I also want to sue him for not treating his younger siblings well as the eldest brother."
Although Mr. Gu was dressed in tatters and looked haggard, the matter between Gu Chengxian and the others was too big, and he was quickly recognized.
"Hey, aren't you Mr. Gu from the old Gu family? He is the same Mr. Gu who lives in Tongzhifu and depends on Tongzhifu. In the end, both his son and grandson got Hualiu Disease!"
"Ah? So you are Mr. Gu. Why are you suing Gu Dashan? Isn't the eldest son Gu Youwen? When did Gu Dashan show up again?"
"Yes, I heard earlier that the old Gu family has three sons. The eldest is Gu Youwen, the second is Gu Youfu, and the third is Gu Youlu. Why does Gu Dashan appear now? Who doesn't recognize whom?"
These three people had loud voices and clear enunciation, and they could silence Mr. Gu in just a few words.
The people watching the excitement asked one after another: "Yes, Mr. Gu, is it you who disowns your son or your son who disowns you? Don't you only have three sons?"
Before Mr. Gu could answer, someone jumped in and said, "Hmph, didn't you hear Mr. Gu say that Gu Dashan didn't recognize him as his father when he got rich? Then Gu Dashan must have been a poor man before. With the old Gu family's temperament of hating the poor and loving the rich, he must I disliked Gu Dashan, so I didn’t recognize him, but now I see that Gu Dashan has become prosperous and I’m running out to recognize my son.”
"Ah, so that's it. Then Mr. Gu, you are such a bad father. How could you treat Gu Dashan like this?"
Someone else asked: "Why would Mr. Gu treat Gu Dashan like this? Logically speaking, if we are biological father and son, we shouldn't abandon our son like this. He is a son who can carry on the family line."
People in the crowd had been arranged by Daqing for a long time. When they heard this, they immediately broke the news: "Hey, didn't you go to hear the book? The storyteller said that Mrs. Gu is Mr. Gu's step-in-law. Before that, Mr. Gu was Those who have a daughter-in-law also have children. I guess Gu Dashan is the son of the original wife. How can he live a good life under the control of the stepmother? Then the stepmother can't persuade his biological father to drive away the son of the original wife? "
The people watching the excitement were chattering away, leaving Mr. Gu confused.
What's going on with these people? He only said a few words, and they actually told him a big drama!
Master Li's servant saw that Mr. Gu had a bad start and hurried over to drag him: "Hurry into the Yamen and hand over the paper."
The people in He'an Prefecture like to gossip. If you stay here any longer, you will expose them.
Mr. Gu came to the court with a confused mind. He didn't even know when the papers in his hand were taken away by Team Leader Zhang.
Zhang Bantou said: "You wait first, I will hand the petition to Tang Tongpan. Before there is a reply, don't leave, and don't go out and talk nonsense."
Bantou Zhang knew that Gu Dashan was the father of Gu Jinan, the head of the case in Tianfu County. Tang Tongpan and Gu Zhifu valued Gu Jinan very much because of the matter of potato tofu and jade tofu and did not want him to be ruined by Mr. Gu.
Mr. Gu was a bastard. When he saw that Team Leader Zhang was full of evil spirits, he didn't dare to say anything. He just responded and waited for the letter in the courtroom.
Zhang Bantou quickly handed the petition to Tang Tongpan.
After Tang Tongxuan looked at it, he hurriedly took him to the ancient magistrate: "Sir, it's bad, someone is suing Gu Jinan's father."
After hearing this, the ancient prefect frowned, took the paper and looked at it, he was really angry: "Why did such a thing happen at this juncture?"
He had just reported the matter of potato tofu and jade tofu to the capital when Mr. Gu came to accuse Gu Dashan of being unfilial. Da Chu governs the country with filial piety. If Gu Jin'an's biological father is unfilial, Gu Jin'an will also be implicated.
However, after Zhang Bantou conveyed the people's words to the ancient prefect, the ancient prefect had confidence... Although Da Chu governs the country with filial piety, there is also a criminal law that protects the children of the first wife.
If Gu Dashan refused to recognize Mr. Gu after being abused by his stepmother, it would be excusable. The government would not punish him, but would only sentence him to support his father.
"Go and call Yu Sinong. I want to ask him what Gu Dashan is like."
If Gu Dashan is a kind person, he will continue to protect Gu Jinan. If he is a vicious person, then Gu Jinan will not be able to use him no matter how talented he is.
"Yes." Bantou Zhang took the order and brought over Yu Sinong, who had just returned to Fucheng last night.
After listening to the words of the ancient prefect, Yu Sinong assured: "Don't worry, sir, Gu Dashan is definitely a kind person. His family not only taught the villagers to transplant soybeans, but also bought soybeans at a high price, turning a lowly thing into a good thing that made the people rich." . He also hired villagers to work in his family’s workshop and paid extremely high wages. He also taught villagers from ten miles and eight villages to grow medicinal materials, making half of the town rich.”
He added: "Gu Dashan's family is wealthy and has many servants, but he takes his two sons to work in the fields without any pretense. He treats his servants as family members and never beats or scolds them."
The ancient prefect frowned when he heard this: "Listen to what you said, this Gu Dashan is a gentle man, but he is so kind to his servants."
Zhang Bantou said: "Aren't you just a gentle person, otherwise you would be bullied like this by your stepmother?"
People outside the government office said they were crazy, saying that Gu Dashan had been tortured by the old Gu family, and was finally rejected by the old man Gu and kicked out of the house.
After hearing this, the ancient magistrate made a plan in his mind and said to Zhang Bantou: "You can ride a horse in person to inform Gu Dashan and give him three days to come to the city to respond to the lawsuit. The government examination is about to take place. This lawsuit cannot be delayed. It must be done quickly." Please do it, and only after it is completed can Gu Jinan take the scientific examination."
"Yes." Leader Zhang didn't dare to delay, so he immediately took the paperwork and rode a fast horse to Tianfu County.
…
When Gu Dashan saw Zhang Bantou, he was not surprised to learn that Mr. Gu was suing him for unfilial piety in Fucheng. Xiaoyu and An Geer had already told him that he had been waiting for this day.
The Gu family packed their things immediately. Before dawn the next day, the whole family, including the three grandparents, Lao Yan, Gu Dafu, Gu Dagui, Chen and Luo's father, Chu, went to Fucheng together.
As for Luo Wu, Qin Sanlang, and Gu Daya's family, they still have things to do and have no companions.
The reason why Chen and the others were brought with them was because they were not only witnesses, but also the sons and daughters-in-law of Village Chief Gu. Their words had more weight, so they were brought with them in case of emergencies.
They rode in a carriage and galloped all the way, arriving at Fucheng on the afternoon of March 14th.
First he went to his family's house in Fucheng to stay overnight. On March 15th, Gu Dashan took Gu Jinan and Cheng Geer to the Fucheng Yamen to respond to the complaint.
The people watching the excitement in Fucheng knew they were coming, and they arrived earlier than they did, so they had already surrounded the gate of the government office.
After seeing Gu Dashan and the others, they immediately pointed at Gu Jinan and asked, "Hey, who is this young man? Why does he look like a god? He is so good-looking."
Someone said: "This is Gu Jin'an, Gu Dashan's son, the county chief of Tianfu County."
"What? Gu Dashan's son is the chief criminal in the county? Oh, no wonder Mr. Gu wants to recognize Dashan and dare to show his love. Gu Dashan's family is not only rich, but also has such a promising son. He is better than those who have Hualiu disease. too much."
Mr. Gu was supported by Gu Chengli and looked at Gu Dashan and his son. He didn't dare to recognize... The man with his head raised and chest raised like this, dressed in wealth, was his son Gu Dashan?
Didn't Gu Dashan keep his head down, looking like a coward who couldn't raise his head?
And that handsome young man who looks like he stepped out of a painting, is he his grandson Gu Jinan?
