Chapter 940 I’m Here to Save You

Mrs. Zhang recognized this yamen servant. He was indeed the one who took the letter and sent it to the Zhan family.

But……

"Why did you come back so quickly? It has been less than ten days. Can you fly or escape? Can you come back so quickly?" Mrs. Zhang stared at the county government as if she had discovered a big handle on the county government. Ling Your Majesty sneered and said: "My lord, let me remind you that breaking the law knowingly and breaking the law is a serious crime of confiscating a family and exterminating a clan!"

The Rushan County magistrate was almost furious because Zhang, a shrew, was saying that he had faked the words of the Zhan family in order to deal with her.

With a snap, the Rushan County magistrate slapped the wooden door on the wall and said angrily: "Come here, torture me!"

Beat up the messy shrew.

"Torture?" Mrs. Zhang was shocked and shouted: "How dare you! If you dare to touch me, my son-in-law..."

With a bang, the head of the Yamen team had had enough of Mrs. Zhang and kicked her over, scolding her: "Son-in-law? Your daughter doesn't even know where she is. You still have a son-in-law? And the third son-in-law's mother-in-law? You don't do it either." Looking into the water vat, do you look like you are reborn as a starving ghost? If you are really the mother-in-law of Third Young Master Zhan, then the Zhan family will not be allowed to hang themselves collectively to apologize to their ancestors!"

After scolding Mrs. Zhang, she called to the officials: "Hurry up and execute this shrew."

"Yes!" The government officials were also incited by Mrs. Zhang during this period, and their anger boiled over. They had long wanted to fight this shrew, who was fighting for her power, so they immediately swarmed up, held down Mrs. Zhang and beat her.

Bang bang bang!

After more than ten blows, Mrs. Zhang was beaten to pieces. Her arrogance was gone, and she immediately begged for mercy: "Spare my life, spare your life, don't beat me..."

But the government officials didn't listen at all. The magistrate continued the beating without telling them to stop.

Zhang was really scared when she saw this. The fear of losing her life enveloped her. Knowing that the Zhan family was unreliable, she put all the blame on Gu Chengli: "It was Gu Chengli, he asked me to say that, ah!"

If the officials didn't listen, they would beat him.

Bang bang bang!

One after another, Zhang was knocked unconscious.

Gu Chengli was already frightened and was trembling like a frightened chicken. He stared at the government officials with his eyes wide open.

The government officials were not polite to him, so they took him over and beat him.

After the beating, the evil spirit in everyone's heart finally came out.

The magistrate of Rushan County directly asked the clerk to sign a bond for the mother and son, throw them back to the cell, and report them to the Fucheng Yamen for questioning and execution.

When the two Zhangs woke up and learned that they were going to be beheaded, they cried and cried, but they had exhausted all the tricks they could use, and no one would come to save them. Their end was to be beheaded in public.

…

The news about Zhang and Gu Chengli came back to the Jinli family, but Gu Jinli and the others didn't care.

Zhang and Gu Chengli would be better off dead than alive.

Gu Dashan was always kind-hearted. After hearing this, he sighed: "It's a pity. If I had taught him well, I wouldn't have ended up like this."

He remembered that Gu Chengli was not that vicious when he was a child...but he remembered that when he was fleeing, Gu Youfu's family of five plotted against his family, and their family was almost sold because of this, he suppressed the regret.

Perhaps as An Geer said, Gu Chengli is selfish and cruel, not as honest as he seems.

Gu Dashan knew that Mr. Gu was driven away with Mrs. Zhang and the others. Now that Mr. Zhang and Gu Chengli had committed the crime and were sentenced to death, what about Mr. Gu and Gu Youfu?

He wanted to ask, but he knew it was hard for him to ask again, but...

Seeing that he wanted to ask but didn't dare to ask, Gu Jinli simply told what happened to Mr. Gu: "Mr. Gu is not dead. He was saved by two Taoists. Now he is living in the mountains with the Taoists."

Then he explained: "Feng Jin and the others found it in a town."

Then he talked about how Mr. Gu and his son were thrown away by Zhang, and how Gu Youfu was bitten to death by a wild wolf dog.

But she only said it roughly, and didn't even tell Gu Dashan the name of the town.

Gu Dashan knew that Gu Jinli hated the old Gu family. He was relieved to learn that Mr. Gu did not die tragically and never asked about Mr. Gu again.

Gu Jinli was not angry. After all, Mr. Gu was Gu Dashan's biological father. Mr. Gu could be worse than a beast, but Gu Dashan couldn't do this.

However, as long as Mr. Gu's body is not exposed in the wilderness and he has someone to support him for the rest of his life, Gu Dashan can live his life with a clear conscience.

Seeing that the atmosphere in the room was not good, the third grandma said again that Gu Jinan was about to take the government examination: "Brother An will be taking the government examination in eight days, so he has to prepare well and stop worrying about other things."

The date for the prefectural examination came out half a month ago. The ninth day of April, like the county examination in February, is an auspicious day.

Gu Dashan smiled and said: "That's right, our Brother An is about to take the government examination. Let's not say anything else, so as not to affect Brother An."

Then he looked at Gu Jin'an and said, "Brother An has been studying hard recently, and his family is staying with you in Fucheng. Don't worry, my son is so smart, he will definitely pass the exam."

Mrs. Cui laughed when she heard this: "No one can praise his son in public like this, and he is not ashamed."

Gu Dashan blushed at being told that. He just felt that he had made Gu Jinan and the others suffer before, and wanted to praise them more.

Gu Jinan smiled and said: "Mom is fine, dad praises me, I feel happy because I can write good articles."

Mrs. Cui smiled, looked at Gu Jinan and Gu Dashan, and then at Gu Dashan. Thinking that the old Gu family's trouble had been eliminated, she felt even more happy and said, "It's a bit cold today. Mom will make you some mutton pots. Not now." Eat it, it won’t taste good after a while when the weather gets hot.”

Gu Jinli nodded after hearing this: "Okay, mother will make mutton pot for us and let Xiaoji and the others help. Don't do it alone."

She didn't like mutton very much, so she ordered two more dishes: "Mom, let's make some pine mushroom chicken soup and make pan-fried fish cakes. It tastes delicious."

Brother Cheng laughed at her: "Second sister, you know how to eat. It's not enough to eat the mutton pot, you also have to order."

Gu Jinli grabbed him and pushed him towards Gu Jinan: "Brother, he has too little homework, give him more."

Brother Cheng quickly admitted his mistake: "Second sister, I was wrong. Don't do more homework. It's so boring."

"Huh?" Gu Jinan frowned when he heard this, and suddenly realized: "So you think the current homework is boring? Then I will give you some interesting homework."

After hearing this, Brother Cheng was really about to cry. The interesting lessons his elder brother said were definitely on the level of the underworld.

Mrs. Cui felt happy when she saw the children playing and playing around, and took Gu Jinxiu to work in the kitchen.

…

The life of Gu Jinli's family was peaceful and harmonious, but the life of Li's family was very cold.

Young Master Li Er has never understood why his stepmother went to court to testify and helped others convict his father.

"Although Madam is not my biological mother and is only a few years older than me, she has been very good to us in the past ten years. Why did she suddenly do such a thing? She has caused us all harm." Young Master Li Er asked his wife.

Master Li Er's daughter-in-law said: "My husband, please don't think too much. There must be a reason for my wife to do this... She is not a poisonous person inside."

"But we have ended up where we are now, and she has an unshirkable responsibility!" Master Li Er said with resentment.

As soon as he finished speaking, a yamen servant came and patted the courtyard door and shouted: "Li Er, Mrs. Tao is here to see you. Open the door quickly."

There are locks on the inside and outside of the courtyard door, and the government officials can only open the lock on the outside.

"Mrs. Tao? It's Madam here, why is she here?" Young Master Li was a little shocked. He thought that Mrs. Li Tao left after making peace with his father, but he didn't expect that she would come again.

Then he said angrily: "Does she still have the nerve to come? We were all killed by her!"

Mrs. Li came with the yamen servant, and Second Young Master Li’s voice was loud. She heard it, but she was not angry. She just shouted to the yard: "Second Young Master, I am here to save you!"
