Spoiling my mistress and swallowing my dowry? After my rebirth, I changed my marriage to a powerful

Xie Zhaozhao looked at him. He had a serious expression, and his tiredness could not hide his majestic demeanor. His black pupils were filled with awe-inspiring righteousness.

He is taking credit for her friend!

She understood what he meant in a second, and nodded her head with gratitude, saying, "Yes, Yin Jin'an, the second son of Duke Xun, led Hongying and others to discover and capture the bandits. He served the country and the people with unparalleled wisdom and wisdom."

Gu Shaoyu said to Song Lian, "You will write the memorial and I will bring it to the emperor to ask for merit for the second son of Duke Xun, Yin Jin'an."

On the way back from the capital's government office, Xie Zhaozhao asked Gu Shaoyu: "Are those black-armored soldiers rebels?"

"Yes!" Gu Shaoyu said, "The man with the surname Niu is a descendant of Li Ziqing, the nineteenth son of Emperor Aizong of the previous dynasty. This time, Li Ziqing's great-grandson Li Hu was captured."

Li Ziqing was a remnant of the previous dynasty who had been sought after since the founding of the Daqian Dynasty. Unfortunately, he hid very deeply. Over the years, the royal family had never dared to take it lightly, but they still could not find any trace of him.

Unexpectedly, they hid in the deep mountains of Nanshan, captured craftsmen and smelted weapons in the caves. In order to conceal their tracks, they also built a small village in the mountains.

The bandits would go to the small mountain village to rob every now and then, and they would pretend to be robbed honestly.

With the lowest cost, they kept a group of brutal bandits as a shield. The common people were afraid of the bandits and dared not approach the mountains, so the bandits became their watchdogs.

So no one discovered the secret in the cave.

The secret was discovered only when those men in black armor came out to kidnap Xie Zhaozhao and were followed all the way to the cave by Bei Chen.

"Zhao Zhao, this is the place where Li Hu privately forges weapons. He is also the weapons supplier of Wei's company. Li Hu and Wei have a cooperation relationship."

Gu Shaoyu breathed a sigh of relief. "Catch those guards. Beichen and the others used some tricks. Wei entrusted them to kidnap you. The purpose was to target me... You cut off Wei's retreat!"

However, he couldn’t be happy because his lady didn’t trust him and almost lost her life.

Thinking that Xie Zhaozhao would rather die than become someone else's weak spot to hold him hostage, Gu Shaoyu was angry and distressed: "Zhaozhao, you should believe me. You want to suppress the bandits, how can I not support you?"

Xie Zhaozhao lowered her brows, she couldn't tell her real purpose.

Meeting the man in black armor was an accident.

Catching the traitor was also an accident.

**

On the day when the bandits raided the peak, all the women in the Bo's mansion lost their virginity.

The next day, it was already light and no one wanted to stay on the mountain to enjoy the spring scenery.

When she came down from the peak, no one in the Bo's house helped the old lady up, not even one person to talk to her.

Of the five maids given to the bandits, Yan Ke and Nian Ke were missing, while Taxue, Siqin and Quan Ling'er were raped and died by the bandits in turn.

The old lady looked at the tragic death of Taxue and thought about how she had served her for many years, and she regretted it so much!

They cried and begged the people in the Gu family's old house to bury them on the spot. The original promise to return to Beijing to compensate them was all in vain.

Gu Boyu already knew about it, and silently bought a few more servants from the pawnshop in Pingyang Town, and drove a horse-drawn carriage to send all the women in the mansion back to the capital.

When Nanxing called him, he realized that his third brother had also come.

The two brothers looked at each other in silence for a long while.

"Third brother, please tell the county government to arrest the bandits and not to hold a public trial..." Gu Boyu lowered his head in shame, "Brother, I beg you, this is the last time."

"Okay." Gu Shaoyu responded with a serious face.

"I won't let my mother and the others die in the old house and won't bring trouble to my family. I won't go back to the old house again." Gu Boyu said, crying softly like a child.

The word "shameful" is not enough to express the shame.

Except for Lu and Xie Zhaozhao, all the women in the mansion were raped. Such a shame would make them too ashamed to face their father and ancestors after death.

Gu Shaoyu was also silent. Gu Boyu would not return to the old house, and he would not come back either.

but--

"Xie Zhaozhao was forced out by her mother and sister-in-law to deal with the bandits that day. Later, she met the killer and jumped off the cliff. Fortunately, she was caught by a tree branch and landed not far from the cave where the rebels made weapons..."

Gu Boyu looked at him in surprise. After a while, he smiled with relief: "This is God's will! Mother lied and said that my third sister-in-law had taken the guards into hiding... My third sister-in-law has turned a disaster into a blessing. Good people are rewarded. This is my third sister-in-law's good fortune."

Gu Shaoyu nodded: "I received a secret report that there was something unusual in Nanshan, so I rushed to the thieves' den and happened to save Xie Zhaozhao."

Gu Shaoyu told Gu Boyu in this way that Xie Zhaozhao was the only innocent woman: all the women in the Bo family were dirty, but his Zhaozhao was pure and spotless, and he also caught a bunch of traitors.

"Brother, after we return to Beijing, let's split up!" Gu Shaoyu said calmly, "I'll move out."

"Okay." Gu Boyu said, "Second brother should move out too, let's divide it."

The two brothers looked at each other in silence. Half an hour passed in silence, and then Gu Boyu left.

Gu Shaoyu looked at his brother, who had spent his whole life eating, drinking and having fun, but his hair turned completely white overnight.

After Gu Boyu left, Gu Shaoyu said to Xie Zhaozhao: "I want to give some credit to the Pingyang Town Gu family for this bandit suppression campaign."

Xie Zhaozhao was stunned for a moment, then instantly understood what he meant and reached out to hug his neck: "Thank you."

Gu Shaoyu patted her on the back: "You and I are one, why are you thanking me?"

Send Nanxing to take Gu Yongtai and Gu Yongnian to the county government office.

Gu Yongtai and Gu Yongnian saw Xie Zhaozhao, whose head was wrapped like a mummy and was supported by a maid, and asked in surprise, "What's this, niece-in-law?"

"On the day of the bandit raid, my wife and the guards were chased by the assassins and fell off the cliff while trying to go down the mountain to report the news..."

Xie Zhaozhao and Gu Shaoyu told the two clan leaders the same story as Gu Boyu had told them, and Gu Yongtai and Gu Yongnian were stunned.

They didn't see what happened on the top of the mountain that night, but the fifth aunt and the fourth aunt said when they returned that Xie Zhaozhao was forced to jump off the cliff by the bandits in order to report the news.

Gu Yongtai and his men searched everywhere at the foot of the mountain, but couldn't find the body. He was worrying about how to explain to Gu Shaoyu. Now that he knew she was rescued by Gu Shaoyu, he felt relieved and burst into tears.

"Fourth uncle, we called you here because we thought that this time, we suppressed the bandits and rebels, which is a great achievement. The court will definitely reward you generously. Our Gu family cannot be without any credit."

After Gu Shaoyu said this, Gu Yongtai immediately became so excited that his lips began to tremble.

"Master, what do you want to do?" He no longer called him nephew, he wanted to kneel down and kowtow.

"Si Xingzi had a finger chopped off by a bandit the other day, which will affect his marriage proposal in the future. He is the one who has made great contributions in suppressing the bandits this time. I will say hello to the chief steward. Si Xingzi, work hard, and it will be no problem for him to get a position in the future."

Gu Shaoyu paused for a moment and said, "If Fourth Uncle has other things to take care of, I will make arrangements for them as well."

When Gu Yongtai heard about this arrangement, he choked up and said, "My Lord and Madam, your kindness will never be forgotten by our clan..."

Gu Yongtai was not a greedy person. Another person he wanted to take care of was a scholar in his family.

Xie Zhaozhao looked at Gu Shaoyu with admiration.

Gu Shaoyu gave some favors to the people in the old house, but he established her image as someone who would rather die than ruin her reputation, who led her people to bravely break into the thieves' lair and made great achievements, and who was brave, resourceful and had integrity.

Gu Yongtai sent Gu Chengxing (Sixingzi) and Gu Yun (a scholar from his family) to the county government office as arranged by Gu Shaoyu and Xie Zhaozhao. Two days later, the county government sent the county magistrate and a team of bailiffs to send them back to Pingyang Town with drums and gongs, saying that they were heroes in suppressing bandits.

He was rewarded with 100 strings of cash and assigned to work in the provincial governor's office.

The people of Pingyang Town were envious, only to find out that in addition to a large number of bandits, there were also rebels hiding in the Nanshan Mountains.

It was Madam Gu who led the Gu family's nephews and nephews to penetrate deep into the enemy's lair and capture the bandit leader.

For a time, Xie Zhaozhao became famous in Pingyang Town. Everyone praised the old lady for being worthy of being the daughter-in-law of the old Marquis of Pingyang, and for being a heroine with unparalleled wisdom and strategy.
