Traveling through books to ancient times, I provoke the love of villains and powerful ministers

Liu Jin didn't return to the Tofu Alley where he rented until midnight.

He stood in front of the courtyard door, raised his hand and was about to knock on the door, thought for a moment, then put his hand down again.

I came back late today, I'm afraid the lady has already fallen asleep at this point, so it's better not to disturb the lady's rest.

He remembered that there was an inn at the intersection in front of him, and the shops in it cost more than a dozen copper coins a night. It was a little expensive, but it was worth it to let the lady sleep peacefully.

And thanks to Brother Gu, he introduced him to a job that can earn money, so that his wife will not have to suffer so much in the future.

Suddenly, there was a thunderous snoring sound from the yard next door to his house. This snoring sound had been with them for several months, and it would wake them up on time every night when they were about to fall asleep.

Liu Jin couldn't help sighing, after he paid his wages, he should take his wife to change to a better place.

"Is the husband back?" A gentle female voice came from inside the door.

Liu Jin lowered her voice and said softly, "It's me, why is my lady still up so late?"

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a "squeak", the door in front of him was opened, and a gentle woman stood in front of the door and smiled softly at Liu Jin.

"I was waiting for you to come back. I guessed that you hadn't eaten dinner yet, so I made egg noodles and waited. I just didn't know you would come back so late today." Liu Jin's wife, Gao Shi said.

"Miss Lao is waiting, I am indeed a little hungry."

Gao smiled and closed the door, telling Liu Jin to wait in the room while she went to the kitchen to bring egg noodles.

Liu Jin was still a little excited when he thought about meeting Gu Yu just now, and he couldn't wait to share today's encounter with his wife.

But while he was eating egg noodles, he also kept in mind the rule of not talking when eating or sleeping. He finished eating the noodles slowly and was about to wash the dishes. Gao took the dishes and chopsticks to the kitchen to clean them first.

After Mrs. Gao turned around, Liu Jin said, "I'm late today because I went to set up a stall in the night market outside after returning from Shouguang Temple..."

Before Liu Jin could speak the next words, Gao's eyes were already full of distress.

Liu Jin saw it in his eyes: "Don't worry, lady, I'm not tired, and I only do this for a day or two every ten days, which is not as good as my lady's daily work."

Gao shook her head, she thought it was worth it no matter how tired she was because her husband-in-law was so caring and caring for her.

Having been married for many years, she knew Liu Jin must have encountered something good when she saw Liu Jin's expression at the moment.

"You set up a stall in the night market, what will happen next?" Gao asked.

"Later, I met a young man surnamed Gu and his fiancée Miss Qi..."

Liu Jin told Gao about what happened at the booth in detail.

"Brother Gu is currently working in the Metropolitan Procuratorate. He said that there is a shortage of documents in the yamen, and asked me if I would like to help. I will certainly accept the monthly payment of eight taels."

Gao Shi was both happy and worried when he heard the words.

Seeing Gao's hesitant to speak, Liu Jin asked her, "What are your worries, my lady?"

Gao nodded.

First of all, Mr. Gu's fiancée bought all his calligraphy and paintings. Of course, she has confidence in her husband, and she also believes that Miss Qi really likes it.

But Miss Qi took the first five taels of silver, and she could more or less guess that he was kind and wanted to help them.

Therefore, when Mr. Gu introduced this errand later, I am afraid that he also wanted to help them.

But the Metropolitan Procuratorate is no better than other places, it is a government office, so if the affairs of the government office are handed over to an outsider, I don't know if it will cause trouble for others.

And the most important point, in half a year, she will take the imperial examination.

She has seen how hard Xianggong has been studying hard every day these years, and she really doesn't want to affect his business because of livelihood matters.

But she said it so directly, and she was afraid that it would only increase the pressure on her husband.

"Msg. Gu just said that Young Master Gu is not much older than you. If you are so young, I'm afraid his position in the Metropolitan Procuratorate will not be too high. If you are arranged to do things like this, will it be too much trouble for others, or let's forget it?" Gao said.

Gao's concern, Liu Jin naturally also considered it.

He also asked Brother Gu at that time, but Brother Gu said very sincerely that he was really in need of help and told him not to have any worries, so he agreed.

But Gao's words are also true, if Gu Yu offends Shangguan to help him, he can't harm Brother Gu.

Liu Jin thought for a while, and then said: "I have already promised Brother Gu, so naturally I have to keep my promise. I will meet Brother Gu at the Metropolitan Procuratorate tomorrow, and then I will thank Brother Gu for his kindness."

Gao nodded.

Xianggong did this to reduce the burden on the family, and it was all because she was useless that he let him worry about family affairs while studying.

She decided to go to the house of the aunt in front tomorrow.

The aunt she met when she went out to buy breakfast before, and would chat with her every time she met.

A few days ago, she heard from her aunt that there was a restaurant that wanted to hire someone to help wash dishes, and the salary was not low.

She didn't think about it at first, after all, she still had to do embroidery work, and if her hands were too thick, she couldn't do too fine work.

It's just that she can't control much now, so let's do it first.

Liu Jin and his wife got up before the hour of Mao the next day.

After breakfast, Liu Jin tidied up her appearance again before going out.

The Metropolitan Procuratorate is quite far from the place where he lives in the inner city, and he has to walk for more than an hour to get there. If he doesn't go out earlier, he is afraid that he will miss the time agreed with Gu Yu.

But Liu Jin underestimated his walking speed. When he arrived at the Metropolitan Procuratorate, the yamen servants would push open the vermilion gate.

Gu Yu guessed that Gu Yu might not come to the Yamen at this time, so he thought about waiting outside.

Liu Jin walked to a tea stand facing the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate not far away, ordered a pot of tea and sat down, watching the people coming and going in front of the gate of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, until the sun was high in the sky at Chenshi, he got up and went Go to the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The yamen of this procuratorate is not as easy to enter as the small county yamen in his hometown. The gate is strictly guarded, and no one is allowed to enter without an official certificate. Liu Jin was just approaching the gate when someone came up to stop him.

The guard didn't see any certificate in Liu Jin's hand, so he said, "What are you doing? Don't wander around in front of the Metropolitan Procuratorate if you have nothing to do."

Liu Jin bowed to the guard: "I'm here to find Master Gu Yu."

As soon as the guard heard Gu Yu's name, he was ready to let Liu Jin in.

Even if they didn't have proof, they didn't dare to stop people who had made an appointment with Gu Yu, the Imperial Envoy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate.

Mr. Gu is well-known in the Metropolitan Procuratorate as "Yan Luo with a cold face", and the cases he handles are basically big cases.

If the person who came to the door happened to be a witness in a case and was stopped by them and the matter was delayed, Mr. Gu wanted to punish them, even if Mr. Royal Envoy came, he would not be able to save them.
