Chapter 91

In midsummer, the weather is getting hotter.

Although misty and rainy Jiangnan can be compared to heaven, the fact is that when Hangzhou enters midsummer, it seems to be put into a big steamer. The dull air, greasy sweat, and bright sun are all tormenting ordinary people in Hangzhou.

There is still an endless stream of merchant ships coming and going from the Xiaoxihe Wharf, and the men in brown shorts are sweating profusely transporting goods with their arms bare.

Gu Yi knew that this was the relief food that was about to be transported from Hangzhou to the locust-stricken areas in the north.

At the beginning of the year, Wang Qinruo was demoted to Hangzhou for concealing the natural disaster. The officials knew the truth about the disaster, and the government and China took various measures to deal with the disaster:
In the first month, the disaster-stricken prefectural armies in Jingdong, Jingxi, Hebei, Shaanxi, Huainan, Jiangsu, Zhejiang and other places distributed distiller's grains to help the poor; For the disaster victims in March, the Transshipment Department allocated [-] shi of grain to distribute to each household.

Now the disaster situation in various places has been clearly controlled, and the victims have been effectively resettled.

In the past six months, Wang Qinruo has not been idle.

No, recently, in the name of Hangzhou Zhizhou, all households in Hangzhou are called to donate money and grain, and [-] shi of grain is allocated from the state granary, and they are going to be transported to Kyoto together with the grain and medicine purchased in Hangzhou.

There was a lot of noise coming and going at the pier, Gu Yi had something on his mind, he buried his head in the sun and headed towards the Criminal Division, not noticing the two brown-clothed men sneaking behind him.

In front is a bluestone alley, this alley has a nice name: Fanghua Lane.

Passing through this alley is the bustling street where Ti Xingsi is located. Perhaps because of the towering houses on both sides, this alley is very shady and cool. Gu Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead and suddenly felt something strange behind him.

He quickened his pace calmly, and the people behind him also rushed to catch up.

Gu Yi turned around suddenly, the two people behind him were startled by his sudden turn, looked at each other for a moment, and said in unison: "Go!"

"Slow down." Gu Yi raised his hand and said, "You two elder brothers, you have a debt and a debt, and I have no grievances or enmities with you, can you tell me why you followed me?"

Sure enough, the two stopped, staring wide-eyed, one of them pushed his companion, and whispered: "The master said, don't talk to him."

"Yes, yes, don't talk nonsense with him, just knock him out and take him away."

Nodding relative to each other, the two looked at Gu Yi: "Our master said that we can't talk to you, so we will knock you unconscious and take you away."

Gu Yi took a step back and smiled gently: "I don't know who the masters of the two elder brothers are? Do you know each other?"

"I said don't talk to him, why don't you listen?"

"Aren't you too!"

The two of them bit their ears for a long time, raised their wooden sticks together, and rushed towards Gu Yi.

"Slow down, slow down!" Gu Yi hurriedly said loudly, "It's okay for the two big brothers to arrest me, can we discuss it?"

"What negotiation?"

Gu Yi pointed to the wound on his left forehead, glanced at the thick wooden sticks in the hands of the two, and said with a bitter face: "I just hurt my head, and the two elder brothers are strong men. , I, Gu Yi, might die."

"That's right." The two nodded, "The master said, you can't kill him."

"The master also said that this person is very cunning, so don't be careless."

"You're right." The two looked at Gu Yi again, "I'm sorry."

With a sound of "dong", Gu Yi only felt his eyes darken, and he fell unconscious.

This head really suffered today, it was a coincidence that the man's stick hit the place where it was hit by the inkstone in the morning, making the situation worse.

Before he fainted, Gu Yi smiled helplessly, if he were Brother Du, these two men would not be enough for him to stretch his muscles.

Sure enough, nothing is a scholar.

The sun was gradually setting, and the evening wind brought a bit of coolness.

Gu Xingzhi was very happy, because today she helped Miss Wen to save Liu Fengchun, and she said a lot of gentle and pleasant words to herself, and even smiled at herself.

He walked briskly into the mansion, showing the most satisfied smile to every servant he saw. Seeing Gu Sizhi, the corner of his mouth twitched: "Second brother, what good thing happened to you?"

Gu Xingzhi frowned: "I won't tell you."

"Okay, where is the third brother? I heard from the housekeeper that the third brother seems to be injured. You dragged him away in a hurry. Where are the others?"

"What, the third brother hasn't come back yet?" Gu Xingzhi said, "No, I asked the little red girl in the Pingkang Pavilion, and she said that the third brother has already left."

"You actually brought your third brother to the Pingkang Hall?"

"Oh, brother, I have a business, I really have a business. Why do you and the third brother have such expressions when they hear about Pingkang Museum?"

Talking about the cause and effect to Gu Sizhi, Gu Sizhi frowned and said: "You are too foolish, if Wang Qinruo is jealous of the virtuous and capable, it is the most dangerous and hypocritical, we have no time to hide, you are better, just bump into it gone."

"Brother, it's not that I'm talking about you, you're just too good-natured. If our father and Wang Qin are at odds, it's not just a matter of a day or two. If Wang Qin has something to be afraid of, isn't it that the third brother has nothing to say? , Have you let him go obediently?"

Gu Sizhi looked at his arrogant second brother, and shook his head helplessly.

"Okay, brother, I won't mention the past, but you should pay attention to what you should pay attention to in the future. As the saying goes, be careful when sailing for thousands of years. If Wang Qinruo is powerful, we should not confront him head-on..."

"Okay, okay, I know." Gu Xingzhi interrupted Gu Sizhi's words, "The third brother should go to the criminal punishment department, I'll look for it, and take a look at dad by the way."

"You—hey!"

Gu Sizhi sighed slightly as he looked at Gu Xingzhi's back who was moving away nimbly like a monkey.

Fortunately, the third brother is reliable.

After holding the lamp for ten minutes, the mansion gradually lit up.

The servants set up dinner, but Gu Sizhi was the only one, looking at the empty place, Gu Sizhi felt a pain in his heart.

Tomorrow, no matter what, I will bring my mother back.

Gu Tixing accidentally smashed Gu Yi during the day, and he was worried all the time. After dealing with the criminal affairs, he hurried back to the mansion, but he only saw Gu Si, so he couldn't help being very strange: "Where's Xiao Yi? "

"Isn't the third brother in charge of punishment? The second brother went to find him and hasn't come back yet."

Hearing this, Gu Tixing only felt a puff of anger in his chest, this brat, actually has a grudge?
Don't even go home?

"Forget it, let him go." Gu Tixing simply took a few mouthfuls of rice, rinsed his mouth, held the teacup, and thought about it, "I will go to Zhang's house tomorrow for my father and bring your mother back."

Great.

Gu Sizhi was overjoyed, but he was not happy for long before he heard Gu Tixing continue: "That child Xiaochen is a poor person, she will enter the mansion in the future, as the eldest brother, take care of her more."

This is, still want to bring that girl Duan into the mansion?

"Father, should mother know about this first?"

"My father will tell your mother tomorrow."

"Can--"

"No need to say more, I have made up my mind."

Since Xiao Yi is unwilling to marry her, it is the same to bring her into the mansion.

Gu Tixing closed his eyes and rubbed his swollen temples. Gu Sizhi suddenly discovered that his father had a few strands of white hair on his temples...

 The name Fanghua Lane is the name of a small alley that I saw on the way home when I went out to buy snacks with my roommate on the weekend not long ago. I took it directly and used it. After all, they are all in Hangzhou~~^_^
