Chapter 1390 Giving Gifts

Master Su said hurriedly: "I am short-sighted. Please forgive me, sir. I will add those things to the account book right now."

After saying that, he immediately took out three pieces of paper, started writing, and added everything written on the paper to the government's account book.

After seeing this, Magistrate Xi was satisfied and said: "Until the war in the northwest is over, we all have to stay calm and don't make any crooked ideas."

There are copper mines in Tong'an Mansion. They have made a lot of money from the copper mines. They are not short of these three melons and two dates, so seeking stability is the best policy.

"Yes, I understand." Master Su responded.

Magistrate Xi sighed again: "Fortunately, we were always on guard against Jia Mingfeng, otherwise he would have exposed us this time and dragged us to death together."

Master Su nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and then asked: "Sir, does Gu Jinan want someone to trick him?"

Magistrate Xi was silent for a moment, then shook his head: "No need, last night I hosted a banquet for them, and Gu Jinan handled it perfectly, pretending that he didn't know Ming Shaoqing."

"She's not even a womanizer yet. She's already twenty. She doesn't even look at Qing'er. She got entangled by Qing'er and pushed her into the arms of Dou Shaodong's family. It's easy for Dou."

The man named Dou was so happy that he put Qing'er to sleep last night.

But just after going to bed, he asked the Dou family's shadow guard to give Qing'er some Bizi soup, and when he got up this morning, he drank it again, making it clear that he would not take Qing'er away.

Qing'er has been pampered by the Xi family for ten years, and she is still innocent. She was only given to someone who could use her as a concubine to help the Xi family. Now she has no chance.

Magistrate Xi's body ached just thinking about it, what a waste of one of his chess pieces.

Master Su was a little surprised when he heard this. Does Gu Jinan not even like Qing'er?

He had seen Qing'er before. She looked like one of the best in a hundred. She looked very greedy. Gu Jinan's eyes were too high.

"Maybe I don't like Qing'er who is so delicate. Why don't I give it to Kuo'er? That girl is pretty." Master Su suggested.

Magistrate Xi shook his head: "Forget it, don't worry about it yet. Ming Shaoqing is a living king of hell. If he knew that we are desperately interested in the young man who has fallen in love with him, he will definitely guess that we want to find out about him through Gu Jinan. By then Once we get angry, we’re doomed.”

"Then let him go like this? Isn't it too easy for him?" Master Su heard it with pity.

"What else can I do?" Magistrate Xi was also angry, but thinking about the Jia family's affairs, he had made a meritorious service, so he put aside his dissatisfaction and continued to work on the Jia family's affairs.

The affairs of the Jia family became more and more complicated. After Jia Tongpuan was arrested, many people came to the government office to sue Jia Tongpuan, which made Magistrate Xi very busy.

However, these cases had nothing to do with the Gu family. Gu Jinan and the others only stayed for three days before setting off back to He'an Mansion.

In the past three days, Gu Jin'an and Dou Shaodong's family did not waste time, letting the storytellers bring Brother Cheng and Hu Dawen to court, and in one fell swoop, the matter of overthrowing Jia Tongpan and Shopkeeper Feng was revealed.

People in Tong'an Mansion listened with great interest. Now they are saying that Erlang of the Gu family is the reincarnation of a judge, who can punish evil and eradicate evil at a young age. Brother Cheng's reputation has become more powerful, and he has become a person who makes people laugh when he hears it. A master who dare not bully at will.

And because Brother Cheng is good-looking, he is very popular with aunts, aunts and grandmothers.

Some women and men wanted their children and grandchildren to be as smart as Brother Cheng. When Brother Cheng and others were about to go home from the government office, they came with their children and grandchildren, hoping that Brother Cheng would touch their children and grandchildren. Some luck.

"Hey, the little fairy is out!"

"Little fairy, come and help my grandson touch his head!"

"Touch my son too!" the woman shouted happily.

After hearing this, Brother Cheng turned to look at the women and saw that they all had children of several years or several months old, looking at him like hungry wolves, with the corners of their mouths twitching.

The ladies in Tong'an Mansion are just like the ones in He'an Mansion, they are so excited when it comes to touching their heads, but my head is not allowed to be touched!

When the women saw Brother Cheng looking this way, they were so excited that they shouted: "Hey, the little fairy looked over at my house. My family has received blessings. My family has received blessings!"

The other women were fine after hearing this, and shouted at Brother Cheng: "Little fairy, look at my house, look at my house!"

Magistrate Xi's face turned green when he heard this, what are you shouting for? If Gu Jincheng were a god, could his family have been so miserable before?

I don't know who spread this rumor. Nowadays, many women regard Gu Jincheng as a god. They are really ignorant.

Magistrate Xi glanced at Bantou Shi, who immediately led people to drive away the women.

"The gate of the government office is an important place. If you are busy, please leave quickly. If you dare to yell again, I will take you to jail and lock you up!"

The women were still very afraid of the word "big prison", and they were driven away by the government officials, so they had to leave reluctantly.

When Brother Cheng saw them leaving, he waved to them, which made the old women excited: "Hey, the little fairy waved to us. This is giving us blessings. The little fairy is so good!"

Magistrate Xi's brows were about to knit when he heard this, and he glared at Bantou Shi, "Why are you so slow to drive away a group of women?"

Bantou Shi also wanted his son to work in the government office, but he didn't dare to neglect it. He hurriedly said to the women: "What are you shouting? I really want to go to jail, so get out of here!"

He took the government officials and drove the women away like chickens.

Dou Shaodong's family laughed, yes, yes, the storytellers are indeed good at getting things done. By the time they return to He'an Mansion, Gu Jincheng's reputation must have spread throughout the counties. In the future, Gu Jinan can feel more at ease when traveling far away.

"Master Xi, I have thanked you for your hard work on this case. Please pay me my respects." Tang Tongpan said and bowed to Magistrate Xi.

Brothers Fangxian Cheng and Gu Jinan, including Dou Shaodong's family, also returned the favor.

Magistrate Xi smiled with satisfaction and said, "Thank you for your hard work when you came across the border. I've asked someone to prepare something for you. You can take it with you to eat on the way."

Magistrate Xi failed to bribe Gu Jinan with beauty, and was afraid of Ming Shaoqing's ruthlessness, so he did not dare to go too far, so he prepared some gifts for Tang Tongpan to bring with him, which was considered a good relationship.

Tang Tongpan smiled and said: "Then I will thank Lord Xi."

But when the steward of Magistrate Xi's family showed up with nine carriages, Tang Tong was shocked: "Sir, is this too much?"

This is too generous. The gift of nine carriages is really real. How can he accept it?

Magistrate Xi said: "Not many, you, Magistrate Gu, Su Tongzhi, General Guo, Mr. Ouyang, Magistrate Zheng, Magistrate Fang, Dou Shaodong's family and Gu Xiucai's family, one car per family."

Then he said: "My Xi family still has some wealth, and these are either valuable things or specialties of Tong'an Mansion. The New Year is coming soon, so I think they are New Year's gifts for you, so feel free to accept them."
