Being a cannon fodder female supporting role is not as good as marrying a lucky villain
Chapter 204 Return to the original owner
Before the bustle of the morning ended, the wooden box that had just been moved into the princess' mansion was moved out again.
"What's going on? Isn't this something you just brought back from the mountain?"
"Looking at the direction, it's going to the government office. Could it be that the county magistrate of Changning wants to return all the things that were taken away?"
When everyone was discussing, they saw more than a dozen people coming out of the county lord's mansion quickly, holding gongs and drums in their hands, shouting along the street: "The county lord has an order, please come to the mansion to be a witness!"
"The chief of the county will distribute the treasures recovered from the bandits to the victims one by one according to the roster! If you have time, you might as well go to the government office to testify!"
They beat gongs and drums and shouted at the loudest, and many people along the street were alarmed.
Due to internal and external troubles, the people of Yuezhou did not like these dignitaries, but they had a good feeling for Gu Ning. After all, Gu Ning arrested the Li family on the spot and brought the largest family in Yuezhou to justice.
Especially when Gu Ning promised to return all the proceeds from the bandits to the victims, they all wanted to see what Gu Ning would do in the end.
So, after hearing these voices, all the common people who had spare time ran to the outside of the government office.
As soon as Gu Ning and Chu Shiling arrived at the government office, they were surrounded by the people outside. Even though there were government servants to maintain order, they could still hear their lively discussions.
Jiang Qian's complexion was already not very good-looking, he glanced at Gu Ning inexplicably: "The county master must have confidence in himself by doing this, are you sure you can return all the gold and silver?"
The sarcasm in his tone was very obvious, both Gu Ning and Chu Shiling could hear it.
"you……"
"Then don't bother Mr. Jiang." Gu Ning grabbed Chu Shiling's hand and stopped Chu Shiling from blurting out, "Mr. Jiang is just a servant of the official department. It seems that his hands can't be stretched so long. If you have any objections to me, why don't you write a letter to Emperor Ming?"
Hearing this, Jiang Qian closed his mouth and averted his gaze.
The emperor has great respect for the Eldest Princess, so he will naturally love the house and love her as the only granddaughter, not to mention that Gu Ning's actions today, on the surface, are indeed without criticism. If he really wrote to the capital, It will only make people laugh.
Seeing Jiang Qian deflated, Chu Shiling laughed mercilessly.
"Master Jiang should take good care of his one-acre three-point land." Chu Shiling sneered, "The officials in Yuezhou are not good people. Since you are the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, you should share the worries of the emperor. It is best Take down all those officials with ulterior motives and send them to the capital for punishment!"
Anyone can hear the sarcasm in Chu Shiling's words, what's more, she looked at the government office while talking, and just barely said the name of that person. With her appearance, I am used to talking Jiang Qian, who left three points to spare, lost his voice in an instant.
Gu Ning stood aside, smiling, as if he didn't hear what Chu Shiling meant.
"Master Jiang, should we go in too?" Gu Ning glanced into the mansion with a half-smile, and saw Fang Chengyu who was sitting on it a little anxiously.
The moment Fang Chengyu saw Gu Ning, he felt annoyed, why did this ancestor come?Does Jiang Qian's strategy work?Why does he feel that something is wrong!
The voices of the people outside became louder and louder, and they had already reached Fang Chengyu's ears. He only hated himself for not being able to leave at this time. Hearing the news outside from the subordinates around him, Fang Chengyu only hated himself for being too trusting. Jiang Qian, this has led to the current situation!
Seeing Gu Ning and Chu Shiling walking towards the government office step by step, behind them, the cheers of the people almost toppled the roof of the government office.
The gentle smile on Jiang Qian's face could hardly be maintained. He walked in behind the two of them. Facing Fang Chengyu's almost devouring eyes, he suppressed his anger and gritted his teeth: "You never told me, Hei Hu The village will organize all the looted treasures into books!"
As soon as these words came out, Fang Chengyu was stunned.
Seeing his expression, he obviously didn't know about it.
Once they have the roster, they will have no chance of tampering with these things. As long as Gu Ning takes out the roster and puts them into the government's warehouse one by one, but if there is one thing missing, they will be detained as a private Charge of possession of stolen goods.
Fang Chengyu couldn't believe it: "There are so many gold, silver and jewels, so they won't be tempted?"
From Fang Chengyu's point of view, whether it is Gu Ning, Chu Shiling, or Princess Changle, they are just girls. They do whatever they want, and they all like gold, silver and jewelry. tempted?They will always leave one or two pieces, isn't this a handle?
Seeing the opposite two women who were all exquisite, and the pearls and hairpins on their heads almost blinded people's eyes, Fang Chengyu couldn't believe that this was something they would do.
"Master Jiang, Master Fang, what are you talking about? Why don't you tell me too?"
Gu Ning swayed slightly drooping steps, watching the two talking with a half-smile.There seemed to be deep meaning in her eyes, but Jiang Qian looked carefully, but did not see any meaning.
However, Jiang Qian no longer underestimated Gu Ning as before. He knew that the woman in front of him was far from being as harmless as she appeared!He missed it from the very beginning!Not only him, even the queen, even Chu Yunyi had never seen her true face.
As Jiang Qian's eyes changed, Chu Shiling poked Gu Ning's waist: "What is he looking at? We didn't do anything bad!"
Gu Ning waved her hand away angrily: "How do I know what he is looking at? You are like this..."
Gu Ning whispered a few words, Chu Shiling looked at her complicatedly, but soon her playfulness overwhelmed her reason, and she winked at Jiang Qian.
Jiang Qianru was struck by lightning and stood there stiffly, not even hearing Fang Chengyu's shouts.
Until Fang Chengyu growled impatiently: "Master Jiang! What should we do next?"
Jiang Qian clenched his hands, quickly pulled away the uneasiness, and said rationally: "The only solution for now is to abandon the original plan."
"There is still that batch of silver, which can relieve His Highness' urgent needs for the time being."
Hearing this, Fang Chengyu, who was anxious, calmed down. He breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a low voice: "Then do it according to what the two of them want?"
Jiang Qian nodded: "There is no solution to this situation."
In the government office, with all the officials from Yuezhou arriving, Fang Chengyu cleared his throat and wanted to speak.
As soon as he made a sound, he heard a cry outside, the voice was so loud that it directly overwhelmed his voice.
"Father! My daughter is here to pick you up!"
Following this sharp cry, more voices sounded, all kinds of voices and names mixed together, louder and harsher than the loud drums and gongs.
Fang Chengyu's temples twitched, and his intuition told him that these two women must have tossed some tricks again, which caused the current situation!
He looked at Gu Ning, the anger on his face could hardly be concealed: "You two county lords, what did you do?"
Chu Shiling was also taken aback by these cries. Hearing Fang Chengyu's questioning, she subconsciously cast her eyes on Gu Ning. Surrounded by many eyes, Gu Ning was not blushing and heartbeating, and drank a cup of tea calmly. Only then said slowly: "What can I do? I just ask my personal guards to go to various places in Yuezhou to invite the family members of the victims whose families were brutally murdered by the bandits in Heihuzhai to take back their belongings."
"What? Is it wrong for Mr. Fang to return the property to its original owner? Or is Mr. Fang not willing to return these gold, silver and jewels to their original owners, but to use them for other purposes?"
"Actually, if Mr. Fang has other uses, you can just say it directly. If I come forward to negotiate with those family members for you, I will definitely allocate some of it to you."
Gu Ning spoke slowly, holding the teacup gently with her slender white fingers, with a calm expression, but once she opened her mouth, Fang Chengyu and a group of people with ulterior motives could fidget.
These words were extremely sharp, and they were clearly aimed at Yuezhou officials like them!
Jiang Qian's eyes were complicated, and he stayed on Gu Ning's body for the longest time.Before in the capital, he had met Gu Ning a few times, but at that time Gu Ning was not what she is now. At that time, she was arrogant and domineering, but she was often tricked by other noble girls and became the one in others' mouths. Straw bale waste.
The current Gu Ning is like a peony flower in full bloom, with a glamorous beauty and the elegance of a peony.
Could it be that Gu Ning's reputation has been intentionally created by the Pei family all these years?They just want to let others relax their vigilance against Gu Ning, so as to achieve their goal?
Jiang Qian quickly came out of his complicated thoughts. He coughed lightly, breaking the stalemate: "Why did the county magistrate say that? All the officials here are good officials who are dedicated to the people, so how could they be reluctant?" Return these gold, silver and jewels to their original owners?"
"Master Jiang has spoken, so I naturally believe it." Gu Ning smiled and waved to the outside: "Zhou Jie, are you all ready?"
"Return to the county master, the subordinates and others have already divided according to the roster found in Heihuzhai. As long as the person who comes to collect it can tell the name of the person on the roster and the approximate time of death, we will return the things."
Gu Ning nodded, stood up first, walked out, and said with a smile: "Aren't you adults going to take a look outside with me?"
At this time, there was a long queue outside the government office, and it was almost difficult to see a single piece of intact clothes on their bodies.
They stared anxiously at the people who registered in front of them, wishing that it was their turn now. Their eyes were full of longing for money and grief buried deep in their eyes.
A young woman tightly held the package in her arms, a look of grief appeared on her numb face.
"I'd rather not have this money! I just want Daddy to come back!"
"What's going on? Isn't this something you just brought back from the mountain?"
"Looking at the direction, it's going to the government office. Could it be that the county magistrate of Changning wants to return all the things that were taken away?"
