Chapter 841 County Case Head
The young boy of the Xu family looked at Master Xu's face and knew that it would be difficult for his young master to guess this crossword puzzle, so he was extremely anxious. If you can't guess it, you have to kneel down, kowtow, and shout three times to feel ashamed.
The young master is the eldest grandson of the Xu family and the most promising grandson of the Xu family. He represents the face of the entire Xu family. How can he kneel down and kowtow to Gu Jinan, who was born in a peasant family?
The boy was going crazy with anxiety and glared at Liu Sheng. He was this idiot. If he hadn't said something about kneeling down and kowtowing if he lost, his young master would not have been forced to this point.
Liu Sheng, who was still very ignorant, complimented Xu Zhaoming from the side: "Brother Xu is outstanding in learning and is well-known in Jinling. He will definitely be able to guess this riddle. You surnamed Gu, prepare to kneel down and kowtow."
Xu Zhaoming's face was no longer ugly, but it was full of wind and rain. If Liu Sheng was his servant, he would have had him dragged down and beaten!
Xu Liang was a tactful person, and seeing that this was not an option, he quietly winked at Xu Zhaoming's servant.
He is a descendant of a side branch of the Xu family. He lives on the direct branch of the Xu family and will not harm the direct branch of the Xu family. The young man knew this and came over quietly when he saw this: "Master Liang?"
Xu Liang whispered: "Go back to the old man and tell him about this. He is the only one who can save the siege now."
Otherwise, Xu Zhaoming would have to kneel down and kowtow to Brother Gu Jinan.
And Xu Zhaoming is an arrogant person. If he kowtows to the Gu brothers in public, his self-esteem will definitely be crushed. Not to mention he will be depressed after that. If he can't think about it, he will probably do stupid things.
After hearing this, the boy's eyes lit up and he looked at Xu Liang as if he were his savior. He bowed his hands to him and left in a hurry.
Xu Zhaoming saw it and didn't say anything. He was also waiting for the stairs.
After the boy left, the room fell into silence again. More than a quarter of an hour later, Xu Zhaoming still couldn't guess the word puzzle.
Xu Liang racked his brains and came up with a suspicious one, and asked: "Among the four little ghosts, is there any one with the word Kui for Kui Dou?"
As soon as he said this, the people at Xu Zhaoming's table almost jumped up, and they all said excitedly: "It's the word Kui, it must be the word Kui. The four brats are not the best of Kui Dou!"
Brother Cheng shook his little head and said, "No, not only do the four little ghosts have the word ghost in them, but they are also real ghosts."
Not only does it carry the word ghost, but is it a real ghost?
"What kind of crossword puzzle is this?" Someone couldn't help asking, but Brother Cheng just showed his white teeth at him and smiled: "I can't tell you in advance. If I tell you in advance, you lose."
After saying that, without looking at the depressed faces of these students, he ran to Gu Jinan, pointed to the fried lotus root cake on the table and said, "I want to eat this."
Gu Jinan took a piece for him and said, "The lotus crystal cake is cold, so you can only eat one piece."
If you have accomplished a meritorious service, you must give this boy something he likes and give him a reward.
"Well, thank you, brother!" Brother Cheng was very happy. He took the lotus crystal cake and ate it happily.
When the people at Xu Zhaoming's table met, they had mixed feelings. They were in dire straits here, but the brothers opposite were enjoying themselves. Wasn't this meant to make them uncomfortable?
…
In the Xu family, Mr. Xu almost fainted after hearing what the young man said: "What did you say? Brother Ming competed with Gu Jinan on word puzzles in Futai Building, and he had to kneel down and kowtow when he lost? Why is Brother Ming so confused?! Then Gu Jinan But he went to Jinling to participate in several literary conferences, and also wrote a Linjiang poem, which was praised by the literary enthusiasts in Jinling. He knew these things in Jinling, why could he be so impatient and go to Gu Jinan to compete with him? !”
It was precisely because Xu Zhaoming knew these things that he felt dissatisfied and wanted to use Gu Jinan's face to make himself famous.
Let me ask, if he could defeat Gu Jin'an, who was praised by Jinling literati, wouldn't his name Xu Zhaoming be spread throughout Jinling?
The boy was very talkative and did not say that it was Xu Zhaoming's idea. Instead, he put the blame on Liu Sheng: "It's all Fatty Liu's fault. Originally, the young master was just acting out of impulse and wanted to give Gu Jinan a blow, and had no intention. The trouble was caused by Fatty Liu inciting the young master and fanning the flames, which is why the trouble has reached this point."
"Fat Liu, is this the one from the Liu Family's Cloth Village?" Mr. Xu was furious, slapping the table and saying, "It's true that the Liu family is dissatisfied with the Gu family and wants to drag my Xu family into trouble."
The Liu family will be dissatisfied with the Gu family all because of He Dalin.
He Dalin worked as a cashier at Liu Jia Buzhuang for many years. He was bullied by the Liu family and treated like a slave.
Three years ago, He Dalin was dissatisfied with the domineering Liu family. He listened to Gu Jinan's suggestion and took the scribe exam. Unexpectedly, he passed the exam and left Liu Jia Buzhuang completely to work as a scribe in the county government. Nowadays, he is so dignified and dignified that even shopkeeper Liu has to nod and bow when he sees He Dalin.
Mr. Xu hated Liu Sheng so much that he immediately shouted: "Here comes someone!"
Butler Xu hurriedly came in: "Old Master."
Mr. Xu: "Prepare the car immediately, I want to go to Futai Building in person."
His grandson got into a big trouble, and he wouldn't have been able to get through it if he hadn't been there to save him.
"Yes." Butler Xu immediately went to prepare the car.
Not long after, Mr. Xu and his boy got into the mule cart and rushed to Futai Building on the main street.
But today is the day when the results are released, and the entire main street is surrounded by people. There are people everywhere, and the mule cart moves slowly like a snail.
The boy looked at the crowds of people surging in front and back and said, "Old man, this won't work. It's going to be here in half an hour."
It took him two-quarters of an hour to run back to Xu's house to report the news, and another quarter of an hour at the house. Now it was almost half an hour. Once the time is up, the outcome is certain, and it would be ugly to plead for mercy.
Mr. Xu was also anxious and immediately said: "Get out of the car and help me run over."
Mr. Xu also worked hard to save Xu Zhaoming.
"Hey." The boy hurriedly supported Mr. Xu, and the two of them ran towards Futai Tower.
Unfortunately, they were still a step too late.
Before I even got to Futai Tower, the county government had already released the results.
Boom, boom, boom!
The drums sounded, and some people from the county government held flags and shouted: "The dragon gate is wide open, the county examination results are released!!"
After shouting three times, the sound spread to the street, and the people on the street were all excited.
"The dragon gate is wide open and the county government has released the results!"
The people were so excited that they all rushed to the main street. When the boy heard this, he almost fainted and said to Mr. Xu: "Old Master, the young master and Gu Jiazi were betting on who would be the chief criminal in Jinke County. Now the list has been released. , if the county case leader is not the young master, then the young master will also lose!"
Mr. Xu had seen strong winds and waves, but when he heard these words and thought about his grandson's temper, he became extremely anxious.
Brother Ming is so arrogant that he will be crushed if he is hit twice in one day.
"Hurry, help me go to Futai Building!" Mr. Xu and his boys crowded on the street. When they got to the downstairs of Futai Building, the people who came to announce the good news also arrived.
