Chapter 888 The Replaced Engagement

Gu Jinan had escaped the famine and was very vigilant. He had long seen Mr. Li's murderous intention towards them.

He is not afraid. They have prepared a big gift for Master Li. The Li family will not be able to survive for long.

Gu Jinan no longer paid attention to Mr. Li, but walked towards Mr. Gu.

Mr. Gu hated Gu Jinan's family so much that when he saw him coming, he glared at him and screamed.

Gu Jinan approached Mr. Gu and whispered: "Do you remember what I told you before? If you want glory and wealth, and money to expiate your sins, you must capture the Zhan family."

After hearing this, Mr. Gu finally stopped shouting.

Yes, the two golden mountains of the Zhan family's uncle and nephew are still there. If he wants to live a prosperous life, he can only use Gu Rong and Gu Ya to hold on to the Zhan family.

But those two marriage certificates?

Gu Jinan saw his worry and said kindly: "It's changed. I wish your family prosperity and long-term blessings."

That’s weird!

He is so "kind" because he just wants to use the old Gu family to challenge the Zhan family. The uncles and nephews of the Zhan family went too far, so don't blame his family for being ruthless.

Mr. Gu was overjoyed. He finally had the money to clear up his guilt, and he immediately complained to the ancient magistrate.

The ancient magistrate was so annoyed with him that he only ordered the officials: "You take him down first and listen to what he has to say. After listening, just relay what he said to me."

Then he whispered to Tang Tongpan: "Master Tang, remember to replace the gavel tree with a new one...it's cracked."

Tang Tongpan was stunned for a moment, then he suppressed a smile and said, "Yes, I have remembered it."

Seeing that the ancient magistrate was a little embarrassed, he said again: "Sir, we have been tired for a day, let's go eat first."

As if hearing the sound of nature, the ancient magistrate nodded and said with a smile: "I am also very hungry. Let's go and eat first."

Tang Tongpan glanced at Mr. Li and said: "My lord, let's go first. I'll go and call Mr. Li."

After all, he is a fifth-grade official and has a backer. They cannot break up with Mr. Li until the capital city deposes him.

The ancient prefect nodded, said nothing, and left first.

As for Gu Jinan, Mr. Li didn't talk to him much. He was about to take the government examination. As the prefect, he couldn't talk to the fresh candidates. Otherwise, if Gu Jinan is admitted to the government office, he will inevitably be gossiped about.

He couldn't afford the gossip about fraud.

Master Li knew that the prefect did not want to see him, so he rejected Tang Tongpan's kindness.

Tang Tong didn't get what he asked for. Seeing that he didn't want to go, he left by himself.

After Mr. Li waited for Tang Tongpan to leave, he was about to leave when his sleeve was suddenly pulled by Gu Chengli.

Gu Chengli pointed to the small door and said, "Master Li, I, my sister-in-law are looking for you."

Gu Chengli was so frightened that day that he never thought that Mrs. Gu had killed Gu Dashan's mother. While he was still dazed, he was hit by a small stone.

It turned out that it was Gu Xiaomei who asked him for help.

Mr. Li followed the sound and saw Gu Xiaomei. After thinking about it, he walked towards her.

When Gu Xiaomei saw Mr. Li coming, she immediately asked urgently: "Uncle Li, my mother killed someone. We won't be punished. You have to save us."

Mr. Li said: "Your mother's matter will not implicate you. Uncle Li will use money to eliminate your guilt of sitting together."

Gu Xiaomei immediately came to life when she heard this, and said in surprise: "Thank you, Uncle Li. I knew that Uncle Li would not leave us alone."

Then he begged Mr. Li: "Uncle Li, come with me to the back office. Mr. Zhan has agreed to marry me. You also know that my family has a bad reputation now. You are an official, so you can support me when you go."

After hearing this, Mr. Li looked at Gu Xiaomei, suddenly smiled, and said to Gu Xiaomei: "Little sister, the Zhan family is hell. If you go there, you won't survive more than three months."

The Zhan family is an aristocratic family. Do you think the Zhan family will spare them because they have lost such a big face? Even if they were brought back to Zhan's house, they would die within three months.

They simply don't know how many means the aristocratic family has to make people disappear silently.

But Gu Xiaomei didn't listen and glared at Mr. Li and said, "Uncle Li, it's not easy for me to meet Mr. Zhan, can't you help me?"

Master Li looked at Gu Xiaomei and completely gave up on her. He held Master Yue's hand and left.

Gu Xiaomei was anxious: "Uncle Li, Uncle Li, you can't ignore me."

Mr. Li didn't hear anything and left directly.

Gu Chengli looked around and saw that he had no master. He wanted to run with Mr. Li, but was caught by Gu Xiaomei: "Come back and support my sister-in-law. When she becomes the young lady of the Zhan family, you can live a good life."

Gu Chengli's brain had turned to mush as he was dragged towards the back office by Gu Xiaomei.

Mr. Li was supported by Master Yue and came to Gu Dashan. He bowed and apologized to Gu Dashan in front of the people watching the excitement.

Third Grandpa quickly stood in front of Gu Dashan, smiled and helped Mr. Li up and said: "Sir, you are an official, how can you salute me? The affairs of Lao Liu's family have nothing to do with you, and you were also deceived by them. After we go back, just drive their family away, and there is no need to say more about the rest."

When Mr. Li heard this, he was so angry that he almost wanted to kill Third Grandpa. He originally wanted to come and apologize to Gu Dashan, so that the people of the city could see how he treated Gu Dashan's family, but it was all ruined by this old man.

The old beast was also very good at talking, and he could say everything he wanted, so that he could no longer say sad words to gain sympathy.

Mr. Li had no choice but to smile and take Master Yue away.

It was already dark outside. After Gu Dashan and his brother Gu Jinan thanked the people watching the excitement, they went home in a mule cart.

…

After having a meal with Tang Tongpan in Houya, the ancient magistrate finally came back to life. After resting for a while, he frowned as he listened to the yamen servant's report: "Is what Gu Shengxiang said true? Are the uncles and nephews of the Zhan family crazy? They actually asked to marry Gu Ya and Gu Rong?"

All the girls from the aristocratic family are dead, so why should the Zhan family beg for a wife like this?

Tang Tongpan said with a smile: "Those two people have gone to live in old Gu's house and have been seen by so many people. Who knows whether it is true or false. Your Excellency, you should take Gu Shengxiang with you and let the two families fight on their own. Go and have a look, don't let them cause trouble."

The Zhan family is an aristocratic family, and there is also Mr. Zhan who is a Beijing official. When the first emperor of Dachu was in charge, the Zhan family even sent their daughter to the palace, and she was barely considered a relative of the emperor. It would be better for them not to quarrel with the Zhan family and let the old Gu family and the uncles and nephews of the Zhan family quarrel with each other.

The ancient magistrate heard this and agreed very much: "Master Tang is right, let's go and see Mr. Zhan San's uncle and nephew."

The two went to the house where Zhan's uncle and nephew were imprisoned.

The yamen servant also brought Mr. Gu.

As soon as Mr. Gu arrived, he said: "Sir, although the uncle and nephew of the Zhan family are scornful of Sister Ya and Sister Rong, there is a marriage contract between them. The two families have made a marriage contract. The four of them are an unmarried couple. Please let them go." Mr. Zhan San, uncle and nephew, let our two families choose a date to get engaged."

The ancient prefect was confused. Master Zhan San's wife was not dead yet. How could she be engaged to Gu Ya? Do you want to marry an equal wife?

And Mr. Gu, as a grandfather, your own granddaughter was slept with, and you still speak for the prostitute. Are you really crazy? !

After Master Zhan came to his senses, he pointed at Mr. Gu and said angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about? When did we have an engagement with Gu Ya and Gu Rong? The ones we propose to marry are Gu Jinxiu and Gu Jinli!"

Gu Xiaomei was also shocked. She didn't expect that after waiting for a whole day, her "biological father" broke the story and shouted: "Dad, what nonsense are you talking about? When did Mr. Zhan have an engagement with Gu Rong? There should be an engagement." You should follow me!"
