Before the village chief could step forward to question the leading guard, the head catcher stepped forward and asked, "Where is the home of Daoist Gu? Our county magistrate and Liu Zhangyin of the public are here to announce the decree on the orders of the Holy One."

These words were like thunder on the ground, and the entire Gujia Village exploded.

It turned out that the people who came were the county magistrate and senior officials from the capital.

What kind of imperial edict should be promulgated? That imperial edict can only be issued by the Holy One. Speaking of which, the great treasure of their village is already aware of it by the Holy One.

For a moment, everyone knelt on the ground with a plop and shouted long live.

Seeing an imperial edict is like seeing a holy emperor. It does not mean kneeling.

Unexpectedly, they would still see the imperial edict one day in this life.

After paying homage, Village Chief Gu spoke tremblingly: "Gu Chao's family is in the village, and the common people will lead the way."

When the village chief was talking, she was lying on the ground without even daring to raise her head, and she was stammering when she spoke. It was completely obvious how excited she was at this time.

How could you not be excited? The greatest official she has ever seen in her life is the county magistrate. Now there is a day when she can meet a high official in Beijing. It is impossible not to be excited.

As for why he kept his head down and dared not raise his head to speak, it was because he was completely frightened.

At this time, the curtain of the carriage was opened, and the magistrate poked his head out from inside.

"Are you the head of Gujia Village?"

The village chief didn't expect that the county magistrate would still remember him, so he nodded excitedly and said yes.

The county magistrate did not remember that Village Chief Gu just thought that this person looked familiar, and seeing that she was speaking on behalf of the villagers, this person must be the village chief.

The head of every village in the county goes to the county government office every year to meet with the county magistrate to report on the year's situation.

She was lucky enough to meet Mr. Huang, but there were too many of them, and they only met once a year. The county magistrate may not remember every one of them.

Moreover, the county magistrate is changed every three years and a person who meets once a year cannot remember so much.

"Then please ask Village Chief Gu to lead the way!"

The village chief was so excited that he almost fell down when he got up. Fortunately, with the help of her eldest daughter, he was able to stand firm.

"My lords, please come by the name of the grass."

The village chief led the way, and he was murmuring in his heart. Looking at the attitude of these people, they probably didn't come to trouble Gu Chao.

There were also the Ouchi guards following, as well as Liu Zhangyin. Although she didn't know what kind of official he was, he must be serving the officials.

This may be related to Gu Chao's trip to the capital to eliminate evil spirits. Maybe the Holy See came to reward her for seeing that she had eradicated evil things.

The village chief was also too excited to see another carriage led by the guards behind him. The carriage was filled with rewards from the emperor to Gu Chao.

The village chief took the lead in knocking on the door of the Gu family. Since the disaster was over, the Gu family no longer restricted interactions with people in the village.

Hearing someone knocking on the door, Aunt Li, who was guarding the door, asked and opened the door.

"Who is it?"

The village chief's eldest daughter responded, "Aunt Li, I am Gu Lin. Open the door quickly. There are adults from Beijing looking for Gu Chao."

Aunt Li was opening the door. When she heard that she was the village chief's eldest daughter and that someone from the capital was here, she opened the door a little faster.

When he opened the door, he saw a circle of people outside the door, including tall horses, guards with swords, and many policemen.

Aunt Li quickly turned back and shouted to the servant who was working in the front yard, "Quickly go in and report to grandma that a distinguished guest has arrived."

Regardless of what these people do, depending on their status, they must report to grandma first.

Arriving at the gate of the Gu family, the eunuch and Magistrate Huang got off the carriage together and looked up at the plaque on the door of the Gu family.

Looking around at the clear scene at the door of Gu's house, Magistrate Huang sighed in his heart, Taoist Gu really knows how to enjoy himself. He can build such a big house in the countryside, which shows his ability.

Looking inside through the gate, I saw that the furnishings and planning inside were better than what she saw in the home of a county magistrate.

The old eunuch served the emperor in the palace. Naturally, her horizons are wider than those of the county magistrate. In her opinion, there is nothing particularly outstanding about Gu Chao's house.

Compared with those big officials in Beijing, it is still far behind. It just occupies a large area.

The two of them gave in to each other and walked towards Gu's mansion.

Because Village Chief Gu was with them, Aunt Li couldn't stop them, and they were court officials. It's impossible to stop him even if he wants to.

Gu Chao was practicing under the peach tree. He heard that he came down to report that a noble person had come, and he was bringing his bodyguard with him.

I thought to myself, I'm afraid it's someone from Beijing, so I raised my eyebrows slightly and stood up.

Patting his slightly wrinkled robe, he lifted his legs and walked outside.

She wanted to see what the emperor had given her?

When she was in the capital, she had made it clear to the emperor, and the emperor's remuneration had been paid, so it could be said that the money was paid in full.

As a result, she sent someone here again, and Gu Chao could probably guess the meaning.

As soon as Gu Chao arrived at the flower hall in front, he heard the voice of Village Chief Gu, "You two adults, please take a seat inside."

Manager Xu came out before Gu Chao and was entertaining the county magistrate and the eunuch together with the village chief.

"Two adults, please take your seats first. I will go and invite my grandma to come out."

After saying that, he arranged for the boy to serve tea and snacks.

The old eunuch hadn't spoken a word since he entered the house. Magistrate Huang had always spoken.

After hearing what Manager Xu said, he nodded and said, "Go ahead, we'll wait here."

As soon as Manager Xu turned around, he saw his grandma coming in from outside, and quickly greeted her and saluted her.

"grandmother."

Gu Chao waved to Guanshi Xu to go down and at the same time ordered: "Please don't let me and Zhengjun come over."

Manager Xu responded and went down. Gu Chao then bowed his hands to the two of them and said politely: "The two distinguished guests have come from afar. Please forgive me for missing the welcome."

The two of them did not dare to make excuses in front of Gu Chao. This man dared to offend even the emperor, so who were they?

The two stood up, bowed to Gu Chao and returned the greeting, "You're welcome, Director Gu."

Then Magistrate Huang began to introduce him again, "I am the magistrate of this county, so please bear with me your surname Huang."

As he spoke, the magistrate turned sideways and introduced the eunuch next to him.

"This is Liu Zhangyin from the capital. The two of us are here to bring the Holy Emperor's imperial edict, and we also ask Master Gu to receive it."

The Liu Zhangyin who came back this time was the eunuch sent by the emperor to announce the decree last time, and he had dealt with Gu Chao.

"I haven't seen you for many days, but Mr. Gu is still as charming as ever."

Gu Chao responded with a smile, "Liu's palm print is also shining brightly, bringing good luck."

When people say she is lucky, Liu Zhangyin doesn't care and just treats it as a polite comment.

But when these words came out of Gu Chao's mouth, they had a different meaning.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Gu, for your kind words. I'm counting on your blessing."

After the two exchanged polite greetings, Gu Chao invited them to sit down again.

It was impossible for Gu Chao to kneel down to receive the order. He turned around and sat on the throne, and then said again: "I wonder why the Holy Master sent Liu Zhangyin and County Magistrate Huang here?"

Magistrate Huang had never seen anyone as arrogant as Gu Chao. They all said they were here to announce the decree, but instead of being respectful at all, this man didn't immediately burn incense and bathe, then put the incense table to receive the decree, and actually sat down.

Magistrate Huang didn't know what to do for a moment, so he had to look at Liu's palm print next to him.

This was not the first time Liu Zhangyin had dealt with Gu Chao, and she had already thought of this situation.

She had no intention of waiting for Gu Chao to kneel down to receive the order. She knew this was impossible.

However, Gu Chao could despise the imperial power, but she could not.

After Gu Chao sat down, she respectfully took the bright yellow imperial edict from the box in the guard's hand, held it in both hands, and sent it to Gu Chao.

Gu Chao took it and unfolded it casually, and it turned out to be exactly what she thought.

First there were some words of commendation, and finally there were various rewards.

She also understood why the emperor did this.

Since the emperor took the initiative to extend his hand to her, and there was no dispute between her and the emperor, it was hard for her to say anything to refuse.

Since the emperor wants to be on good terms with her, he should be on good terms with her.

As long as it doesn't involve her interests, she doesn't mind.

Gu Chao turned over his hand and put away the imperial edict, and asked Liu Zhangyin again to do it.

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty. Gu accepted it."

As soon as they saw Gu Chao flipping his hands, the imperial edict disappeared. They were surprised and sighed at Gu Chao's ability.

When Liu Zhangyin heard Gu Chao's words, his heart suddenly felt at ease.

She was afraid that Gu Chao would not accept it, or that there would be something else waiting for her later.

Seeing her so straightforward and refreshing made me feel at ease.

Such people with real abilities naturally have their own way of speaking and doing things, and Gu Chao is the one who speaks and does things most readily.

Before she left the palace, the Holy Emperor had ordered her not to say anything more. She had seen Gu Chao's reaction after seeing the imperial edict.

It would be best if she accepted it readily. If she didn't, then it would be whatever Gu Chao said, no more words.

In this way, her errand was successfully completed and she was able to go back to meet the Holy Lord.

"Daozhang Gu, you are so polite. The Holy Father told me when I went out that I came here just to pay Daozhang Gu and nothing else.

It is a great merit that Taoist Master Gu saved thousands of people in the world this time. The Holy Spirit also said that these ordinary things are just the icing on the cake for Mr. Gu.

Gu Daozhang has a compassionate heart to save the world. It is the people all over the world who should remember Gu Daozhang's merits. "

Gu Chao didn't take this flattery to heart.

However, the word "merit" is indeed correct. No matter how the people in the world are or the emperor, it is her merit and the law of heaven will naturally record it for her.

As long as she has this skill, everything else doesn't matter.

The two of them exchanged some polite words with Gu Chao. Seeing that Gu Chao had no intention of keeping them, they wisely said goodbye.

Gu Chao personally sent the two of them to the door, which was regarded as fulfilling the friendship of the landlord.

The two got on the carriage and left Gujia Village before talking about the differences in the Gu family.

Liu Zhangyin thought there was nothing unusual in Gu's house just now at the gate. The moment he stepped through the gate of Gu's house, he immediately overturned his previous thoughts.

There was nothing strange about this, it was completely too strange. But at that moment, he felt comfortable all over and his body was much lighter.

Magistrate Huang naturally felt the same way. She was even more surprised than Liu Zhangyin. After all, Liu Zhangyin was

Those who have seen Gu Chao's methods have some confidence in their hearts.

On the other hand, County Magistrate Huang had only heard rumors about Gu Chao. This was the first time he experienced the natural surprise in person.

Originally, she wanted to get close to Gu Chaotao and say that the two families were related, but in the end, she thought about it and did not say it out loud. She thought that when Yu Miao'er and Ning An got married, it would be better for her to come in person.

The village chief personally sent the team of carriages and horses out of Gujia Village, and then returned to Gujia Village.

From the beginning to the end, she was completely confused, especially after seeing Gu Chao's attitude towards the two adults, she felt really frightened.

He was afraid that the knife-wielding guard at the door would suddenly rush in and take down Gu Chao.

She knew that Gu Chao was capable, but she didn't expect that Gu Chao would have such an attitude towards the imperial officials.

That one was an official personally appointed by the imperial court, and the other one was a famous person next to the Holy Emperor.

Even now, she still feels cramped in her calves. If her eldest daughter hadn't been holding her up, she might have sat down.

When they came to Gu's house again, Gu Chao was still sitting in the flower hall waiting for them.

Gu Chao knew that she would definitely come back, so he kept sitting here, waiting for her to come.

Seeing the village chief come in, Gu Chao stood up and went to help her.

"Auntie, sit down first."

While supporting Village Chief Gu, Gu Chao used his luck and spiritual power to gently sort out Village Chief Gu's meridians.

She also knew that Village Chief Gu was frightened and might not be able to recover for a while.

Village Chief Gu naturally felt the difference in Gu Chao's hand holding her, and said nothing, waiting to gradually calm down.

When her mood calmed down, Gu Chao also retracted her hand, and then she raised her finger and pointed at Gu Chao.

"Tell me, you just scared me."

Gu Lin, the eldest daughter of Village Chief Gu. He sat down on his mother's feet, patted his chest and said.

"Dabao, I didn't expect that you are so famous now. Even the county magistrate and the celebrities around the Holy Master will treat you with great courtesy."

The village chief patted his daughter on the shoulder with a "pop" sound.

After taking the photo, he glanced at her again, "How can she be so conceited? She's simply too arrogant!

Not afraid of the knife-wielding guard at the door. With one draw of the knife, you will be executed on the spot. "

When Village Chief Gu said the last half of the sentence, he said it to Gu Chao.

As a result, Gu Chao laughed twice and said, "Auntie, you saw it just now. Do you think she dared to draw a knife on me?

No matter who he is, the emperor or his ministers, they have to squat in front of powerful strength. "

This is true, but Village Chief Gu still feels lingering fear.

She has lived for most of her life, and the idea of ​​imperial supremacy has enveloped her for most of her life, which cannot be changed in a short time.

In their hearts, the emperor is heaven and their master.

As the saying goes, the world is as big as the king's land. On the shore of the land, could it be the king's ministers?

Even if Gu Chao is extremely capable, can he defeat the emperor?

She has to be a subject of the emperor!

As a result, today, Gu Chao ruthlessly overturned this idea in her mind.
