Lord Shoufu, your wife has escaped!

Chapter 70 The Huizhou Tongmu Case

"Back then Mingzhou couldn't afford a high fever and his life was hanging by a thread. There happened to be a master fortune teller who said that he had to marry a Qi brother to suppress the evil spirits so that he could be safe." Mr. Gu had a thoughtful look on his ravine face, "It's not that the Gu family is sorry for him, it's that they have to do this."

Gu Chengwen also nodded in agreement: "Now that Mingzhou has won the first prize, Bai Yuxin should pay back the kindness he received from the Gu family. I don't think there will be much fuss."

Gu Yutang: "..."

Now that the words are so beautiful, it was clear that he refused to spend money to see a doctor for Gu Mingzhou, so that an eleven or twelve-year-old boy almost lost his life.Later, if Bai Yuxin hadn't taken care of him carefully, where would Gu Mingzhou be today?

Returning the favor, if these words are really said in front of Bai Yuxin, it will be a beating!

Gu Yongde looked at Gu Yutang: "In that case, Fifth Brother, why don't you go to the capital?"

"I'm not going!" Gu Yutang's eyes widened, and he shook his head suddenly, "Leave the job of offending people to me, who is it that you think is a fool?"

Gu Yongde dissatisfied: "Why is it offended? Aren't we thinking about the bright future of Mingzhou? It's all for his own good. What face does he have for not agreeing?"

"In that case, then you go," Gu Yutang sneered, "I didn't say that when Mingzhou was suffering at home, who of you helped?"

"Either you don't want to be a brother in the first place to harm someone's future. Now that the two children live together with each other, it's their own business to get together or break up. If they want to intervene, they have to see if they have the qualifications!"

Gu Chengwen shook his head: "We made mistakes at the beginning, but now it's time to make up for it. Dad, what do you think?"

Mr. Gu took two puffs of dry cigarette, and after a while, he finally spoke.

"Then write a letter," Mr. Gu said, "Let's just do what we need to do, and how to do it depends on what Mingzhou thinks."

Who is credible to write is another question.

Gu Yutang expressed his attitude and refused to intervene. Although Gu Yongde wanted to contribute to the flames, he did not dare to offend Gu Mingzhou. Seeing the two brothers like this, Gu Chengwen felt very uncomfortable, so he refused to write by himself.

In the end, after procrastinating for a few days, Gu Chengwen found a private school teacher to write the letter, and sent it to him.

In the capital, Gu Mingzhou was suffering from a headache. When he received this letter, the corner of his mouth twitched immediately, and he threw it aside, ordering Dongbai to take it away.

Dongbai withdrew as promised, and Gu Mingzhou buried himself in the official documents again.

It has to be said that Gu Mingzhou really got himself into a big trouble.

Yu Taiqing is the boss of the household department, if Gu Mingzhou offends him, it is tantamount to offending the entire household department.Now that he was asked by the Ministry of Household Affairs, he was naturally made things difficult in every possible way, and he took on a lot of complicated affairs.

Zheng Ziming, who joined the household department at the same time as him, was different. Although the two had the same position, Zheng Ziming was assigned cases that were easy to make political achievements and not offend others. Gu Mingzhou was completely opposite, and they were all thankless tasks.

For example, the most difficult case in hand now - the Tongmu case in Huizhou.

In fact, this is an old case. Under the rule of Huizhou, Chonghai and Fulin produced paulownia wood, and they paid tribute together, and the paulownia wood was converted into silver coins as taxes.But because the Fulin people were good at business, they bought the land of Chonghai and asked the people from Chonghai to plant paulownia.

At first, Fulin paid more money than other landlords for farming, so the servants left in large numbers, and the cultivated land was abandoned.Landlords had no way of making a profit, so they had to sell their land.The people of Fulin have been waiting for this moment, and immediately take over as soon as someone sells it. After five or six years, more than half of the arable land in Chonghai is planted with paulownia.

The area of ​​arable land has shrunk, and landlords do not need so many servants, and the displaced servants have to continue farming for Fulin people; the grain production in Chonghai has decreased, so they have to buy food from other counties, and the cost of living has greatly increased.At this time, the Fulin people lowered their wages, and the people complained, but they had no other choice.

Thus, such a strange phenomenon appeared.

It was clear that the two counties jointly paid the taxes, not to mention the paulownia trees that were handed over to two counties in Chonghai, and the biggest profit was taken away by the Fulin people.

The first county magistrate in Chonghai was just waiting to die. When the new county magistrate took office, he found that all the people in Chonghai were poorly clothed and hungry.

At the beginning, the Ministry of Household Affairs also investigated the case, but it died down after a while.

There is no other reason, this caregiver is named Yang Yixiu, who is the current relative of the chief assistant.

The Ministry of Households is controlled by the Qingliu faction. Once this matter is investigated, it will definitely be considered to have taken action against Zhang Li's party.

What's more, if you can make a fuss about taxation, you must also exchange some interests with the local county magistrate and magistrate. Pulling out the radish and bringing out the mud will affect the whole body at that time, which is really difficult.

Yu Taiqing handed over this case to Gu Mingzhou, not only to make things difficult, but also with a mentality of watching a joke: Didn't you say that you want to solve the party dispute?Now give you this chance to see how you deal with it.

Gu Mingzhou was really busy.

But, if you want to enter the emperor's camp, you have to use more drastic means.Otherwise, with so many people declaring war, why did the emperor choose him as the leader?When he was questioned by everyone, why didn't the emperor directly remove him as the number one scholar to appease the public anger?

Not only did he have to take the move, he had to do it beautifully.

No one else in the household department spoke to him, and secretly bet on when he would resign.

When the evening bell rang, Gu Mingzhou got up with the crowd, stretched himself, got up and went home.

"Yo, I thought you were going to stay up all night looking at the file," someone sneered, "It's really hard work."

"Okay, it's not that you don't know, what will he get if he works hard?" Another person answered with a smile, "After a year, he will still have to call Zheng Ziming your lord. You are making fun of him now, he Isn't it too pitiful?"

Gu Mingzhou pretended not to hear, and prepared to go home.

Unexpectedly, when he walked to the door, there was a strange boy waiting for him.

"My lord, Xiao Shangshu invites you to go over to the house and talk about it."

Gu Mingzhou was full of reluctance: "What's the matter?"

"This..." The servant smiled apologetically, "The master's intentions are not something a villain can guess."

"Then I won't see you," Gu Mingzhou clicked his tongue, "I'm still rushing back to accompany my wife."

Boy: "..."

Did he hear it wrong, or did Gu Mingzhou say something wrong?Someone turned down the invitation from the boss?

"Wait," seeing that Gu Mingzhou was about to leave, the servant hurriedly said, "Master Xiao said that he has something to say to you, which can solve your current predicament."

Gu Mingzhou then stopped, thought for a moment, and told Dongbai to go back first: "Tell Young Master, I'm going back later, don't wait for me to eat."

What exactly is Xiao Yu going to say?
