The gentleman is knocking on the door

Chapter 107

Gu Tong took out a money bag with one hand and threw it over to Mi Congcong: "I took a job for you as soon as I returned to Feiyu County at noon yesterday. ...It should have taken about eight taels, and you will go to the county town to do the ceremony for him in two days."

"Master, what are you doing?" Mi Congcong's head was throbbing, and she knew that the sudden arrival of the little old man would not be a good thing.

The deposit is only 15 taels, and Mi Congcong felt that this ceremony must not be easy.

"Extra degree." Gu Tong said concisely.

"Master, will you help me?" Mi Congcong asked tentatively.

If it's an ordinary super speed, how could it be possible to pay a deposit of 15 taels as soon as you make a move? There is a problem here!

"How can you use a sledgehammer to kill a chicken?" Gu Tong gave her a blank look: "You can go by yourself."

"Master, you let me do the work alone after I just started. You think highly of me, aren't you afraid that I will smash your signboard?"

She is not short-sighted, how could she take risks for some money?

"Don't worry, I don't have a signboard for you to smash, you can go ahead and do it. It's better to take on more work and earn more money to buy wine for the teacher." Gu Tong complained again: "Girl, Let me tell you, don't learn from your elder brother, every time you ask him for money, you always push back and forth, and in the end there are still a lot of things that are not allowed. You are not allowed to quarrel with others for the teacher, you are not allowed to gamble, and you are not allowed to help out. People or something, it sounds like a master..."

Hearing the little old man's thoughts, Mi Congcong couldn't help feeling sorry for his senior brother again.

This is not learning art from a teacher, it is more like finding an ancestor.

"What kind of eyes do you have?" Gu Tong shook his mustache: "Do you think your teacher will lie to you?"

"Of course not." Mi Congcong regained his composure and asked, "Master, can you tell me why you suddenly thought of taking the job for me?"

"You have stayed by your uncle's side for so long, you have a good foundation, and you have studied with your elder brother for so long, and I want to test you by taking this job for you as a teacher." Gu Tong answered very smoothly, obviously He had already thought of an excuse.

Mi Congcong raised his eyebrows: "Really just to test me? Not for the wine money?"

Gu Tong's eyes flashed, and he said with a dry smile, "Of course it's to test you."

"Master, let me ask you, how did you take this job?"

The little old man was clearly lying!
Facing Mi Congcong's piercing gaze, Gu Tong waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, I'll tell you the truth! My teacher left Feiyu County a few days ago and returned to Feiyu yesterday. The county wanted to ask Brother Gu for some wine, but as soon as he entered the yard, he heard that someone offered Brother Gu a high price to ask him to find some great immortal master to help him perform rituals. The teacher was afraid that Brother Gu would refuse, so he agreed for him, and the man happily paid for it. I paid a deposit of 15 taels and left, saying that I will pick you up from brother Gu in three days."

"Master, you didn't ask anything before taking the job? For example, why did that person find Uncle Gu? What's the master's family name? Is he from Feiyu County? Who do you want to do?"

Uncle Gu is just a shopkeeper of a tea house, how could he find Uncle Gu if he wanted to do something?This matter is too unbearable to scrutinize, Mi Congcong is worried for Gu Yu.

Gu Tong shook his head: "I didn't ask, but won't you know when you go to brother Gu's three days later?"

Meeting his master's innocent eyes, Mi Congcong's head throbbed again.

"Master, I'll cook for you!" Mi Congcong didn't want to say anything, he just wanted to go back to the county seat after eating, and see if he could push the job away.

This thing was so weird that she didn't want to take it no matter how high the pay was.

If he wants to push this job, he must return the deposit to others. Thinking of the eight taels of silver that was spent by the little old man, Mi Congcong's head hurts, and his heart hurts.

With Gu Tong as a shield, and Mi Congcong's repeated promises that she would not drink again, Ye Shi and Mi Zhiqing reluctantly agreed to let her go to the county seat, but there was a prerequisite, that is, Mi Congcong had to finish the work Come back immediately, and Mi Congcong agreed.

Before leaving, Mi Congcong sent his brother to the big room and asked Mi Zhiqing to take care of him, and then he took Gu Tong out of the house together.

Seeing that Gu Tong brought Mi Congcong back to the county, Gu Yu was a little anxious: "Mr. Gu, why did you call the girl here?"

Wen Tiancheng has been watching closely lately, he was worried that the girl would be in trouble if she came to the county at this time, so someone sent a letter to Damo Village in the morning, and the girl appeared here at this time, needless to say, he knew that the girl and the person who sent the letter missed it.

"She wanted to come by herself!" Gu Tong hurriedly separated the relationship.

"Uncle Gu, you also know that my master has given me a job, and I don't want to take that job, I'm going to turn it down." After Mi Congcong finished speaking, he asked again: "Uncle Gu, do you know who the other party is? How did you find it here?"

"Girl, leave this to me. I'll rent a carriage, and you'll go back to Damo Village immediately!" Gu Yu said without hesitation.

Fortunately, the girl and Mr. Gu came here at night, I hope the government didn't find them.

Mi Congcong's heart skipped a beat: "Uncle Gu, why do you want me to go back? Is something wrong?"

"Girl, the authorities did not find the murderer in Dong Changming's case, and now they suspect me. You'd better not come to the county seat recently, lest you be involved!"

Mi Congcong's face changed, and he said angrily, "What are those arrests doing, if they don't catch the real culprit, they suspect you, Uncle Gu?"

Gu Yu smiled wryly: "Girl, if those policemen can count on it, Dong Changming wouldn't have died a violent death and no one has discovered it for so many years."

Gu Tong's short and pale eyebrows flicked up and down: "Brother Gu, how could people from the government suspect you for no reason?"

At that time, they didn't go directly to the government to report to the officials, and they didn't show their faces. How did the people from the government find out about Gu Yu?

"I asked a friend to help me find out. It seems that someone reported me to the county magistrate Xu, but I am not afraid of the shadow, and I have not been to Feiyu County four years ago, so I am not afraid of their investigation! It is a girl , before this case is solved, we'd better not get in touch for the time being." Gu Yu said.

"Uncle Gu, you said someone reported you to County Magistrate Xu?"

Mi Congcong heard the clues from Gu Yu's words, seeing Gu Yu nodding, his eyes turned cold, and said in a deep voice: "Uncle Gu, this matter is aimed at me, I must stay!"

If her guess is correct, the person who reported Uncle Gu is Zhong Jingchao!
Gu Yu was startled: "Girl, you didn't interfere in this matter, how could it be for you?"

Mi Congcong sneered: "It's just that someone took advantage of this to take revenge on me!"

When Mi Congcong said that Zhong Jingchao had a personal relationship with Xu Cunming, Gu Yu suddenly said, "Zhong Jingchao has a grudge because of your engagement with Young Master Lou!"

No wonder the girl rejected the Zhong surname so much from the beginning. It turned out that the girl had already seen that Zhong was a narrow-minded person. He was obviously a relative of the Zheng family who went to Mi's house, but in the end he took revenge on his girl. It was unbelievable. Rationale!
