Chapter 168: Being a Gunslinger

Shusheng Ma was awakened by the yamen servant's reply, no matter how shocked and confused she was.
This should be a must-have etiquette. Take a few steps quickly and come to the county magistrate, kneel down and bend down.
"Student, meet the magistrate."
Magistrate Huang didn't make things difficult for her and just let her get up.
After Ma Shusheng got up, he bowed to the county magistrate again and said, "The county magistrate is polite."
It can be said that she was reasonable and restrained. After bowing, she stood with her hands tied and stood in front of the county magistrate to take action.
But she seemed not to see Gu Chao next to the magistrate, and didn't even give him an extra glance.
Gu Chao didn't necessarily need this gift from her. Seeing this, the county magistrate and the county magistrate both secretly expressed sympathy for Shusheng Ma.
Scholar Ma is indeed not a smart man. If it were someone else in this situation today, he would have seen Daochang Gu sitting with them, chatting and laughing.
Now she has to live with her face no matter what! But she didn't.
It would be fine if she was really a pedantic scholar, but she is not.
So regarding this matter, even if they wanted to make peace with Shusheng Ma later, it would probably be of no use.
The atmosphere was a little tense for a moment, and the magistrate coughed slightly and said, "Shusheng Ma, what's the matter with you coming to see me?"
The county magistrate did not go to court, nor did he say anything about her coming to sue Gu Chao. He just asked her why she came to see him.
This means that she has stepped down, as if the two of them have a friendship, and this person came to see her privately, not for any official business.
As a result, Shusheng Ma was slightly stunned. She subconsciously raised her eyes to look at the county magistrate, but she saw that the county magistrate looked at her nose, nose, and heart without even giving her a look.
At this time, she had not yet realized that the magistrate was helping her. Instead, she felt that the magistrate was trying to protect Gu Chao!
She still goes her own way and can't turn around.
So Shusheng Ma finally glanced at Gu Chao before speaking.
There was a hint of anger in his tone, "Reporting to the County Magistrate, the student came today to sue Gu Chao, and I want you to make the decision for the student and the student's fiancé."
As soon as she finished speaking, Magistrate Huang sighed slightly.
Okay, okay, elm cannot be carved.
Since she insisted on pushing forward, she couldn't stop it.
Gu Chao raised the corners of his lips slightly, but he didn't see her getting angry. Instead, he slowly picked up the tea cup on the table and took a sip.
The county magistrate glanced at her privately, and seeing her acting like this, he didn't intend to take care of her anymore.
If Scholar Ma wants to sue, then just sue!
She only heard about this matter from the county magistrate. Now that the two parties involved are here, what is going on? Maybe she can hear a good show.
So, the county magistrate raised his chin to Scholar Ma, "Please tell me what's going on."
When Shusheng Ma saw that the master finally asked her something, he thought that she would have to explain it carefully and reveal her true face.
Let the adults know how bad this Gu Chao is and how much he has a human face and an animal heart.
Originally, the Chen family had already added some extra details when talking to Scholar Ma, but now Scholar Ma couldn't help but add some more modifying adjectives.
Anyway, the main meaning is that Gu Chao is a swindling bastard, relying on his own abilities to take other people's money and break up other people's marriages at will.
Not only now, but also ruining a young man's youth and the rest of his life.
Moreover, this is not the first time, she also has a criminal record.
From her point of view, she and Chen Mingyu were in love, and the two families had already signed a marriage contract, expecting her to get married after she passed the scholar examination this year.
In the end, because Gu Chao had received the money from the third room of the Chen family, she forcefully separated her fiancé from her.
Not only that, but also something like the Mu family.
According to what she said, Gu Chao was indeed crazy and had no humanity at all.
But what she said came to the ears of County Magistrate Huang and the County Cheng, but they didn't dare to believe it all.
One of the things is that Gu Chao changed the marriage certificate. This must be true.
But the cause and effect may not be the case.
So the county magistrate confirmed to Shusheng Ma again, "Are you sure what you are telling the truth?"
"Every word is true."
Shusheng Ma nodded without hesitation, "Please tell me, the magistrate."
After saying that, she took out a marriage certificate from her arms. It was the previous marriage certificate between her and Chen Mingyu, and she also brought it as evidence today.
The county magistrate took the marriage certificate and opened it, and saw that there was only Ma Shusheng's name on it, but the man's side was blank, with nothing on it.
She couldn't help but frown slightly and returned the marriage certificate to Shusheng Ma, "Why are you showing me this?"
Shusheng Ma doesn’t understand why. Could it be that the magistrate doesn’t understand?
So he took it back and opened the marriage contract to check it out.
At first glance, she subconsciously took a step back.
The hand holding the marriage certificate was trembling slightly, and after repeated confirmation, she was sure that there was only her name on it.
The place where Chen Mingyu's name should have been written was blank, with no ink at all.
This is also because her marriage to Chen Mingyu has been dissolved. Chen Mingyu is already a member of the Mu family, so it is naturally not in the Ma family's marriage certificate.
Shusheng Ma's first reaction was that this must be Gu Chao's trick.
She turned her head to look at Gu Chao angrily, her eyes seemed to be able to spit out fire.
Gu Chao pointed his finger and said bitterly, "Did you do this? Apart from these tricks, what else do you do?
Now in front of the county magistrate, you are still unrepentant and still playing these tricks. "
The magistrate thought that it was not appropriate for her to intervene in this matter, so she should wait for Gu Daochang to speak on his own.
Gu Chao finally looked at Scholar Ma and smiled instead of getting angry.
"The marriage certificate in your hand has always been on you. Have I touched it since you came in?"
This question really bothered Shusheng Ma.
Gu Chao had indeed not touched it, and she had always kept the marriage certificate at home, kept by her father. She went to find it when she went out.
Moreover, she kept it in her arms and never showed it to others or took it out.
Just now, I showed it to the county magistrate.
This Gu Chao really has some skills!
Shusheng Ma snorted coldly, "Don't do such a shady thing just because you have some shady tricks.
You did the same thing that day. You wrote my fiancé's name on the Mu family's marriage certificate without anyone's consent.
Today, you are doing it again, and you are still acting like the county magistrate. How brave you are. "
Gu Chao didn't want to talk to her more about this, but it was unintentional.
He gently tapped the table and asked her, "Do you know why the Chen family wants to marry the Mu family?"
Shusheng Ma didn't expect Gu Chao to ask such a question, so she subconsciously answered that it was the third brother of the Chen family who was married to the Mu family, and I was generously engaged to the Chen family. How did I know about this? "
The county magistrate knew that the crux of the matter was coming.
So he acted like he was all ears and waited for Gu Chao to speak.
The three people stared at Gu Chao with three pairs of eyes, and Gu Chao gently raised his lips.
"Then the Chen family has a daughter and a son."
Shusheng Ma naturally knows this.
"The eldest daughter is a gambler!"
Shusheng Ma didn't know this.
"A few days ago, the eldest daughter of the Chen family lost fifty taels of silver at a gambling house in the town. The eldest daughter of the Chen family couldn't come up with the money, and she was reluctant to sell the house and the land.
So, they decided to sell the third brother's younger son to the Mu family in private. Anyway, by the time the third brother found out, the matter was already a foregone conclusion and there was nothing that could be done about it. "
In this case, there is nothing that cannot be explained.
Shusheng Ma couldn't believe it and took two steps back before he could stabilize his body.
She looked at Gu Chao's calm expression, and then at the county magistrate sitting on the Grand Master's chair.
No wonder! No wonder!
At this time, Shusheng Ma finally came to his senses and realized that she had been used as a gun today.
She said that on her birthday at the beginning of the year, Chen Mingyu gave her the most ordinary inkstone.
She had hinted to Chen Mingyu that she needed a good inkstone for future exams.
Chen Mingyu also promised well, but in the end he gave her the most ordinary inkstone as a gift.
Not even as good as her own piece!
At that time, Chen Mingyu explained to her that all his personal money was used to buy fabrics for his mother and eldest sister to make new clothes. Now that he didn't have much left on hand, he would definitely make up for her in the future.
At that time, she still felt that this fiancé was gentle and considerate, and respected his elders. She thought that he would make up for her in the future anyway, so she didn't take it to heart and just waited.
In her opinion, the Chen family has a house as big as that and more than ten acres of land, so it is considered a big family in their village.
Moreover, their family is simple, with only six people, so they still have money and food to spare.
The two old people, the second child, and the third child are taking care of themselves together, so the elders don't have to do much at all.
If it weren't for this, she would still look down on Chen Mingyu!
Both mother and father said that she would use the Chen family first. When she became famous, she would not have as many men as she wanted. At most, she would give more benefits to the Chen family.
She was waiting for Chen Mingyu to give her more dowry when she got married.
Her future mother-in-law agreed to her promise when they were engaged.
Unexpectedly, there was a gambler in the main room of the Chen family, who lost fifty taels of silver in one go.
No wonder her fiancé couldn't find the money to buy her an inkstone. I'm afraid the Chen family only has the house and land left, and the rest has already been ruined by her future eldest aunt. !
Otherwise, why would you sell the boy from the third house without conscience, or to that kind of person?
Judging from this incident, the character of the Chen family cannot be trusted.
If she really marries Chen Mingyu, if her eldest sister gambles again in the future, will Chen Mingyu sell her son if she loses?
She can't bring home such a disaster!
The Chen family is rotten from the root. The top beam is out of alignment and the bottom beam is crooked. Chen Mingyu is definitely not the gentle and virtuous person he appears to be in front of her.
In fact, she really wronged Chen Mingyu. Although Chen Mingyu had a cold temperament, he
He is a scholar devoted to this horse.
I never thought it would end up like this.
After thinking through all this, Shusheng Ma looked very ugly, and she was even a little embarrassed when she looked at Gu Chao and the county magistrate.
She knew that she had been reckless just now. The county magistrate had given her a chance just now, but she was not sure and still had to go ahead.
And Taoist Gu, she didn't blame herself when he scolded her just now. Instead, she told her the whole story.
Shusheng Ma's face turned a little red, feeling like he was being laughed at.
She was the only one who was kept in the dark about this matter, and was used as a gunman.
She also thought, if she offended the county magistrate because of this, would it hinder her career?
Scholar Ma really thinks too much. She has no fame and is not a scholar favored by the county magistrate. The magistrate does not bother to argue with her at all.
Of course the county magistrate saw him like this and knew that she had figured it out.
He went to see Gu Chao again, and Gu Chao still looked as calm as before. He had no intention of quarreling with Shusheng Ma, so he waved his hand to Shusheng Ma on his own initiative.
"I think you were deceived today, so I don't care about you. I would like to thank Daozhang Gu for his magnanimity."
After being reminded by the county magistrate, Scholar Ma bowed deeply to Gu Chao.
"What happened today is that Ma was reckless. He shouldn't have troubled Daoist Director Gu just because of someone else's words, and he also spoke rudely to Daoist Director Gu.
Please forgive me, Mr. Gu! "
In fact, if we really talk about it, it was Gu Chao who ruined the marriage first, which is why she didn't argue with Ma Shusheng.
Speaking of this matter, she had to tell Shusheng Ma that she was not to blame.
This matter actually has nothing to do with Scholar Ma, although she also had bad intentions.
This was a matter for the Chen family. At that time, she was begged by the village chief and several clan elders before she took action.
In any case, it was a disaster that ruined Scholar Ma.
So Gu Chao stood up and raised his hands to Shusheng Ma, "You are right. I did this. I didn't tell you before doing this. It really ruined your marriage."
Seeing Gu Chao like this, Scholar Ma blushed even more. If it weren't for Gu Chao, she would have been kept in the dark, and she didn't know how to keep her family in peace.
How could he accept Gu Chao's gift?
"You're so polite, Director Gu. I should thank you for this."
Now that the words had been clearly stated, Gu Chao didn't say anything more to her and sat back on the chair.
At this moment, Shusheng Ma had something in his mind. The violent beast was jumping up and down, and how could it stay in the county government office, so after paying homage to a few more people, he apologized and left.
Everyone knew what she was going to do when she went back, so they didn't say anything more and let her go.
Although this scholar Ma is above average in his studies and a bit serious about sex, he is not really stupid.
After thinking about these things in series, I figured everything out.
The Chen family was planning to take her as a scapegoat so that they could support that gambler in the future!
