Mrs. Shi's heart skipped a few beats. This look in her eyes clearly meant she knew. Sighing: "Master, I asked people to do it. Who would have thought that Magistrate Mu was so lucky that he could be an imperial envoy. It's just that he met the imperial envoy, and his surname is Bai."
Shi Chengyu was a little confused when he heard this: "What happened to the one named Bai?"
Shi Chenglin snorted: "The family surnamed Bai was discovered by King Bingjian and recommended to the emperor. They have deep trust in the emperor, and nothing can escape Lord Bai's eyes, even if he wants to lie, it is useless. "
"And you stupid woman, what do you think you can do with Magistrate Mu's little credit? You actually dared to send people to stop the magistrate from reporting. You really killed me! Okay, pack your things and go back to Beijing. I hope it's not too late. Bar."
After all, the prefect had to wait for someone from Kyoto to take him back. If they went back first, they would need to go back faster after all. They just hoped they could do something in time.
The crime of deceiving the emperor will cost the life of the whole family. Shi Chengyu was a little at a loss: "Then brother is going back to Kyoto? What about us?"
Shi Chenglin glanced at his second brother: "You guys should also go together. The whole family will move. I'm afraid you won't have a good life if you stay."
Shi Chengyu was happy now. This was a blessing in disguise. After all, the sister-in-law only planned to take her daughter to Kyoto alone before, but now due to the trouble, the whole family can go to Kyoto.
The people from the Shi family packed their things and went to the capital overnight. Inside the county government office, Bai Yuan was also saying goodbye to Mu Yexiao: "Your Majesty, there is nothing else to do now. I will go back to the capital first."
Mu Yexiao nodded: "It's hard on you for what happened this time. Just stay in Fucheng for a while."
Bai Yuan nodded immediately: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will take care of everything, and I will leave after the person who takes over from the court arrives. Just Your Majesty, if someone comes, do you need to keep your identity secret?"
Mu Yexiao raised his eyebrows: "Of course it's necessary. I'm here to be the county magistrate. The people in charge can do whatever they want. If nothing happens, you can leave first."
After sending Bai Yuan away, Mu Yexiao and Qian Jiujiu were free to consider Gu Yong's matter. Mu Yexiao turned around and glanced at Qian Jiujiu: "Are you really going to tell Mr. Gu about Master Ye?"
Qian Jiujiu blinked and said, "Don't worry now. I'll let him read it tomorrow and see if he knows what he's talking about."
Mu Yexiao was a little funny. When Qian Jiujiu said this, he probably knew what Qian Jiujiu was going to do.
Sure enough, Qian Jiujiu called Tong Ruyan over early the next day. Tong Ruyan now really trusts Qian Jiujiu.
Mrs. Mu not only rescued her from the sea of misery, but also helped her rescue her brother. In her heart, he was definitely a kind person, so of course she came as soon as she was called. Tong Ruyu was worried that her sister would come alone, so she came with her.
"I've met Mrs. Mu." He was not familiar with Qian Jiujiu, so he naturally saluted quite politely. But Tong Ruyan and Qian Jiujiu were not so polite and spoke directly.
"Aunt Mu, why did you call me here so early? I just had breakfast!"
Qian Jiujiu smiled at Tong Ruyan: "Introduce an expert to you. Let's go. You have met him before, but you didn't have the chance to talk about it at that time."
The message I sent to Gu Yong before was that he was asking for help with something here. Qian Jiujiu's reputation on Mingyue Island was quite big.
Gu Yong was also somewhat interested in her, so he came over knowing that Qian Jiujiu was asking for help. It was only after I came here that I realized that he was not helpful at all. Bai Yuan could solve the problem. He also planned to ask Qian Jiujiu after dinner today if he had anything else to do with him, but Qian Jiujiu showed up with someone.
After curiously looking at Qian Jiujiu and the pair of siblings following Qian Jiujiu, Gu Yong slowly spoke: "I didn't help much with this matter..."
Qian Jiujiu waved his hand nonchalantly and interrupted Gu Yong: "Mr. Gu, you're welcome. I'm not looking for you for these mundane things, but for the brother and sister behind me. Mr. Gu's divination skills are great, please take a look. , can the girl behind me be blessed with a few more years to live? "
kindness? Tong Ruyu was stunned. He was a little confused as to what this meant. Tong Ruyan was brought back by Qian Jiujiu, but he didn't know that she could only live for five years at most.
Gu Yong now knew that Qian Jiujiu came to him for this reason, and smiled: "I am good at divination, but not good at extending life. What can I do for something that you can't do?"
Qian Jiujiu frowned: "No, there was someone who did divination before, but he just didn't tell me the answer. I thought that no one in the world can match you in divination. Why don't you take a look first?"
Gu Yong did not continue to shirk, thinking that this was the first time Qian Jiujiu asked him for help. These siblings should be very important to her, so he nodded: "Okay."
He found a pen and paper and asked Tong Ruyan to write a word on the paper. Gu Yong started to divine, and then he looked at Qian Jiujiu with a strange look.
"If I say that the result of my divination is that her life will be smooth until old age, can you believe this result?"
Growing old smoothly? Qian Jiujiu said, "It looks like we've had some adventures. That's fine. This girl is pretty good. Okay, it's okay. You two can go back."
Tong Ruyan was stunned for a moment and looked at Qian Jiujiu: "Aunt Mu?"
She was puzzled. Is Aunt Mu looking for someone to comfort her? Qian Jiujiu turned to look at Tong Ruyan: "Don't worry, this is the best fortune teller in the world. He counts everything and what he says is never wrong."
But Tong Ruyu is now a little anxious to know about her sister. He took his sister out to inquire. No wonder he always felt that his sister came back this time and talked a lot. The two were reunited, but they were always a little sad.
Was his life always in danger? He must figure these things out. Tong Ruyan has no intention of hiding Tong Ruyu this time. He didn't say it before, but he was just worried that Tong Ruyu would risk returning to the village for her. Now that Aunt Mu has found someone to get over it, she will believe it if she is fine.
After the brother and sister left, Qian Jiujiu said: "Is what Mr. Gu just said true? Who is responsible for this woman's vitality?"
Gu Yong raised his eyebrows and smiled: "It's far away in the sky but close in front of you."
After saying this, Qian Jiujiu rolled his eyes and said, "Don't all you warlocks like this kind of talk? Understand, the secret of heaven must not be leaked. Don't worry, I won't let you work in vain. My mother built a courtyard on the mountain. , please go and visit.”
kindness? Is asking him to visit the yard considered compensation? Even though Gu Yong was a warlock, he couldn't figure out what Qian Jiujiu was thinking at this time.
"Go and inform the master. I'm going to the other courtyard on the mountain to check on the progress."
When Mu Yexiao heard this, he knew Gu Yong's answer, which seemed to satisfy Qian Jiujiu, so he took him over directly.
Originally, if we were going to other colleges, we would definitely want to go south, south, north, and north. It's a pity that these guys have returned to the college to continue school today.
So after arriving at Fangjia Village, Qian Jiujiu did not bother Fang's mother and others, but went directly to the other courtyard.
When Qian Jiujiu and Gu Yong arrived at the other courtyard, on the tree at the entrance of the other courtyard, the temporary supervisor Ye Zhenren was still holding leaves in his mouth and blowing leisurely in the wind.
Gu Yong saw that person at a glance and understood why Qian Jiujiu said he was very satisfied. He gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you very much. I am indeed very satisfied with this gift."
Qian Jiujiu smiled and narrowed his eyes: "As long as you are satisfied."
Hearing the voices of Qian Jiujiu and Gu Yong, Ye Zhenren also turned his head and looked over. When he saw Gu Yong, he was instantly frightened to death. He fell directly from the tree, but was caught by Gu Yong and did not fall to the ground.
"I'll have a good time reminiscing with my junior brother first."
As he said this, Gu Yong directly carried Ye Zhenren on his shoulders, used Qinggong and flew away. Qian Jiujiu rubbed his chin, thinking whether he should go to the theater.
Finally, I thought about it and let it go. After all, it was a bit immoral to lure people here. If I followed to watch the fun, I might really anger Master Ye.
So Qian Jiujiu turned around and went back. Although it was not a lively scene, he was in a very good mood. As for the Yamen, the threshing machine has been successfully completed, and then it is time to collect the rent.
Rent collection can be said to be a major annual event in the yamen, and this is the first time since Mu Yexiao took office that Qian Jiujiu is somewhat interested in rent collection.
The warehouses here at the Yamen are all ready, waiting for this year's new grain harvest. A batch will be left locally in the Yamen, and the rest will be sent to the court.
Xianyou Town, no matter how big it is, or how small it is, can still collect a lot of taxes. And because the number of yamen servants in the yamen is limited, the collection of taxes will take a long time.
Tax collection is also done based on distance. After all, the place closest to the front is the most convenient. The people in the town turned it in first, and then we talked about the people in the town.
The weather in Xianyou Town is going smoothly this year, so rent collection and other matters are going very smoothly. Three days later, Gu Yongcai brought Ye Zhenren back to the county government.
Zhenren Ye looked at Qian Jiujiu with a somewhat unfriendly look: "I have done so many things for you, but you don't keep your word."
Qian Jiujiu raised his eyebrows: "You are too proud. Now, wouldn't it be nice for you to get together?"
Ye Zhenren snorted and decided not to pay attention to the shameless Qian Jiujiu. Gu Yong, on the other hand, glanced at Qian Jiujiu and said, "It's been a bit uneasy recently, but according to your ability, it shouldn't be difficult. I just want to remind you that the two of us are leaving."
Qian Jiujiu was stunned for a moment: "Leave? Are you going back to Mingyue Island?"
Suddenly, I felt like I had shot myself in the foot. It might be useful for Ye Zhenren to stay.
