The road of the farmer's fortune and the imperial examination

Chapter 738 Silver
Uncle Gu was a little puzzled, why did he ask Dashun and the others?
However, he glanced at the situation in the room and didn't ask any more questions.

"Okay, I'll call." Uncle Gu said, then turned and walked outside the house.

Gu Chengyu intends to find Dashun and the others to take care of Wang Yueniang and the others.

He always felt that Gu Chengyi's death was a bit strange, and the three of them had to interrogate carefully.

Seeing that Gu Chengyu and the others did not leave the house, Wang Yueniang couldn't help feeling anxious.

The key to open the cabinet was under the pillow on the kang, and she could only open the cabinet if she got the key.

Today is a good opportunity, if she misses it, all the money will be lost to her.

When Erlang and Sanlang come, will the money go into the pockets of Erlang and Sanlang?
Gu Chengyu observed the expressions and movements of the three women from time to time, and saw that Wang Yueniang had already looked at Kang Qin several times in such a short period of time.

He cast his gaze there too, and found a brass lock hanging on it.

Gu Chengyu then took another look at the furnishings in the room, and found that the cabinet should be a place to store belongings.

Brother Chang is still young, so it's not surprising that Wang Yueniang would stare at those silver coins.

In the past few years, I heard that Erlang spent a lot of money in the county, but the soap profits in the past few years are also extremely considerable.

In Gu Chengyi's hands, excluding the expenses, he can save about 3000 taels at least.

"Father! The second elder brother has gone, and the money he left behind must be kept safe. We will not be able to tell until Erlang and Sanlang come back."

Gu Chengyu meant something, even if Wang Yueniang didn't have the guts to fish in troubled waters, it didn't prevent others from doing so.

Father Gu was very depressed at the moment, and he sighed leisurely, "I have to take care of it, let me take care of it! I'm old and don't need money, so they don't have to worry about letting me go. When Erlang and the others come back, it's easy to explain some."

Father Gu was supported by Gu Chengyu, his legs were weak, and he felt that his whole body was drained of strength.At this moment, when Gu Chengyu talked about money, he remembered it.

Although Xiaobao doesn't like this little money, Father Gu knows Erlang's temperament clearly.

The most suitable person to keep the money is himself, anyway, Xiaobao can't get involved.Otherwise, it would be endless.

Gu Chengyu turned to Wang Yueniang and said, "Where is the key to my second brother's locker?"

Wang Yueniang did not expect that Gu Chengyu would suddenly intervene in the matter of money. She originally thought that she could search for some money, but now it seems impossible.

She didn't dare to offend Gu Chengyu, thinking that she was not young anymore, not as young as Li Shi and Wang Shi.

Gu Chengyi died, and if the Gu family was willing to let him go, it would not be difficult for the two of them to find another poor family member to marry.

She is old, even if she wants to marry, no one will want her.

What she can rely on now is Brother Chang, and doesn't Brother Chang have to rely on Gu Chengyu?

Wang Yueniang stepped forward, glanced at Gu Chengyi who was still open-eyed, and felt her heart was about to jump out.

She didn't dare to look any more, she just turned her head away, and touched under the pillow next to Gu Chengyi with her trembling right hand.

Wang Yueniang fumbled twice but couldn't find the key, she was a little anxious.

"I see that the head of the house used to put the key under the pillow. Why isn't this there?"

Gu Chengyi frowned, the kang was in such a mess, maybe it fell somewhere else.

"You can look for it on the kang."

Wang Yueniang looked at Gu Chengyi who was covered with bedding on the kang, she really didn't have the guts to look for it!
She had already looked at Gu Chengyi's body just now, and felt very scary, how dare she look for things under the quilt?
Wang Yueniang trembled and said intermittently: "I, I dare not!"

Gu Chengyu almost wanted to roll his eyes, these are the two people who slept together in the same bed before!
He wasn't afraid, but he was actually quite irritating.

Just when Gu Chengyu was hesitating whether to find it by himself, he suddenly heard Gu Lao's voice saying: "Let me come!"

Father Gu stepped forward and gently pulled off the quilt covering Gu Chengyi's body. At this moment, Gu Chengyi's part had ruptured, and dark red blood was still flowing out of it, which was more terrifying than the expression on his face.

Seeing Gu Chengyi's miserable state, Gu Lao couldn't restrain himself from crying anymore.

"Father! Let me look for it!"

At this time, Gu Chengli had calmed down, and he stepped forward to propose.

The key was pressed under Gu Chengyi's legs, Gu Chengli opened the cabinet, and took out a red-painted wooden box from inside, with a lock on it.

Gu Chengyi took out a piece of paper and five silver notes, a silver ingot of 50 taels, and some broken silver, about 20 taels.

"Little Treasure! This is the bank's deed for depositing silver. Can you see what is written on it?"

Gu Chengli handed the paper to Gu Chengyu, Gu Chengyu took it over and took a look, and found that the bank written on it was in the town.

This is a 2000 taels of deposit, and the token is a low-quality crescent-shaped jade pendant, which is placed in the box.

"The bank is in the town, and it's 2000 taels."

"Here are five silver notes of 100 taels, one silver ingot of 50 taels, and 22 taels of broken silver."

Gu Chengli counted the banknotes and broken silver, and reported the amount to everyone present.

Gu Chengli frowned after finishing the report. It seems that the second child spent a lot of money over the years, but why did he only save 570 taels?
He remembered that the second child really spent a lot of money for the Nali family.

In addition, Erlang spent more and more in the past few years, because some people often saw Erlang going in and out of restaurants in the county town, probably because he had a lot of entertainment.

"The money is all here, and everyone present is a witness."

Gu Chengyu asked Gu Chengli to check it out face to face, in order not to let people gossip.

Putting the silver back into the box and locking it up, Father Gu took the box and was helped out of the house by Gu Chengyu.

As soon as he left the house, Gu Chengyu saw Dashun trotting over with the three of them.

Gu Chengyu didn't say much, and when Dashun and the others arrived, he ordered: "You bring the three girls in the house to the main room, and I will interrogate them myself."

Dashun knew how to read his eyes. Just now, something happened in the rumors outside.But he didn't dare to ask anything, just do what Gu Chengyu told him.

In this clan, the most capable is Gu Chengyu.It was Gu Chengyu's suggestion that the clan give them monthly money.

As long as Gu Chengyu is satisfied with their work, they will not worry about a bad life.

After finally waiting for Gu Chengyu to come back, now is the time for them to show their talents.

Lu Shi is still waiting outside the door, this is the room of her stepson, even if he is dead, she cannot enter this room casually.

Besides, hearing that Gu Chengyi's appearance was a little scary when he died, she didn't dare to go in.

When Gu Chengli came out, his eyes were still red.Li Langzhong followed closely behind, and even Wang Yueniang and the others were brought out.

Only Gu Chengyi was left in the room, and Gu Chengyu felt it was inappropriate, so he asked Dashun to keep someone here to guard the door.

"Father! Do you want to wipe off your second brother first? It's hot today, and I'm afraid I won't be able to let it go."

It's hot, and people are put in the house like this. What if there is some strange smell?

　There will be more tomorrow!
