Chapter 425: Meet Zou Jiang

Chapter 425 Meeting Zou Jiang

 Why is there a letter?

　　A thief sneaked into Zou's house and entered his house.

Zou Jiang was very loyal to the Zou family. He was afraid that the thief was still in the Zou family, so he immediately shouted: "Here comes someone!"

Then he rushed to the desk, opened the envelope, and hurriedly read the contents of the letter. As soon as he saw it, his face changed drastically, and the hand holding the letter was shaking... Impossible, impossible.

How could Zou Youlian harm him? !

Zou Jiang was completely confused until the guardian rushed in and asked: "Steward Zou, what are you shouting? But a thief has entered the house?"

Zou Jiang is worthy of the name of a child prodigy. He has helped Zou County Cheng do his job for decades, so he has already mastered it. He collected the letter calmly, put it into an envelope, and replied. Said: "No thief entered the house, but I suddenly saw a mouse running past."

With a bang, Zou Jiang slapped his palm on the desk and said angrily: "Why are there rats in the house? What do the people down there do for food? If the master wakes up and suddenly sees a rat, can you afford it? Hurry up and let Zou He and Aunt Zou will clean up the outer courtyard and the inner courtyard, and remove all the snakes, insects, rats, and ants in the house, and if I see a rat, they won't have to do anything."

Zou Jiang was the first to speak, and the nursing staff were startled. They only knew that he was reading a letter, but reading a letter was a very common thing. The nursing staff would not suspect it at all, and hurriedly said: "Yes, I will inform Zou right now." River steward, Aunt Zou.”

The nurses hurried away, but Zou He and Nanny Zou learned that there were rats in Butler Zou's house, so they had no choice but to accept their fate and send people to kill snakes, insects, rats, and ants in the house.

Zou Jiang did not dare to stay in his room for too long. After the nursing staff left, he went to do business in the house as usual, serving Zou County Cheng and helping Zou County Cheng handle the general affairs inside and outside the government.

He was busy until Zou Xiancheng went to bed, then he went back to the house to rest. After closing the doors and windows, he took out the letter with trembling hands and read the contents carefully.

This letter is very long, covering everything from his reputation as a child prodigy to the jealousy of the Prime Minister of Zou County; to the limit on the number of meritorious candidates admitted by the government; to the distance between Luchang County, Tianfu County and He'an Prefecture; and when his family was in trouble. , the coincidence of the appearance of Zou Xiancheng; the gangsters who killed his mother and daughter-in-law were not land bandits but water bandits; it was also said that the wound on his wrist was injured by the hook knife used by water bandits; finally, it was mentioned that Aunt Lu was killed by water bandits The matter of banditry and murder.

 Every word is written with reason and evidence, and it goes straight to Zou Jiang's heart.

Zou Jiang burst into tears after reading this. If he had not believed it before, he would have torn it up as soon as he received this letter, and then went to find this evil person who was driving a wedge between him and Zou County Cheng and teach him a lesson. pause.

 But recently, he discovered that Zou Xiancheng did not really treat him as a brother. When Zou Xiancheng got angry, his words that cursed him were obviously contemptuous.

There is also the matter of Aunt Lu...

The fact that Aunt Lu was tortured and killed by water bandits has proved that Zou Xiancheng colluded with the water bandits. If the gangsters who killed his family were really water bandits, then why has he been a slave to his enemies for so many years? !

Zou Jiang rolled up his sleeves and looked at the wound on his wrist. The wound was hideous, like a centipede crawling on the skin... For so many years, he had not dared to face this wound, but at this moment, he was holding a candle and staring at his wound. Look, I found that the wound was exactly the same as the scar left by the Gouhe knife mentioned in the letter.

Zou Jiang cried silently, his eyes red with anger, but he did not let himself cry or go crazy. Instead, he bit his own tiger's mouth and used severe pain to remind himself that he must stay awake.

 Two quarters of an hour later, Zou Jiang blew out the candle.

This has been his habit for many years. After returning to his room every night, he will turn off the lights and rest for about two quarters of an hour. The nursing staff all know this rule and he cannot break it.

But Zou Jiang did not fall asleep. He kept his eyes open until dawn. When the time was almost up, he got up to wash up as usual, went to do things in the house, and returned to the house as usual the next night.

On the third day, there was a thunderstorm in the sky. Zoujiang was soaked by the rain and fell ill when he got up in the morning. Zou Xiancheng showed kindness to him and asked him to retreat and rest. Zou Jiang said that he could still serve him, but Zou Xiancheng scolded him.

Zou Jiang took the opportunity to leave, but he did not go back to the house to rest, nor did he invite the doctor to the mansion. Instead, he left the mansion and went to the Zhou Family Medical Center in the county town to see a doctor.

Zou Jiang has not been in good health since his disaster that year. After Zou Youlian became the county magistrate, Zou Jiang would come to the Zhou Family Medical Center for acupuncture whenever he felt unwell.

Because he often comes here and has a relationship with Zou Xiancheng, he has a separate cubicle in the Zhou Family Medical Center, where he can rest for half an hour after acupuncture.

When people from the Zhou Family Medical Center saw Zou Jiang coming, they took him to the small cubicle. One of Dr. Zhou's apprentices went to see Zou Jiang in person.

"It's just a cold and fever, nothing serious. I'll prescribe Mr. Zou some medicine and give him a few injections." After Dr. Zhou's apprentice gave Zou Jiang acupuncture, he left to get medicine.

As usual, Zou Jiang was lying in the cubicle with his eyes closed to relax.

After having a cup of tea, the door was pushed open and a tall man with a beard all over his face came in.

Although the man had a beard, Zou Jiang looked into his eyes and felt that this man was not an adult, but a half-grown boy.

 …

Half an hour later, Zou Jiang left the Zhou Family Medical Center and returned to Zou Mansion. Master Cao informed Zou County Cheng of Zou Jiang's return to his home.

Zou Xiancheng was relieved when he learned that Zou Jiang only went to the Zhou Family Medical Center to see a doctor at about the same time as before.

But they didn't know that in the small cubicle of Zhou's Medical Clinic, Zou Jiang and the man talked about many things by writing. Zou Jiang also saw the Gouhe Dao in the small cubicle.

Zou Jiang was ill for two days. From the third day onwards, he was like a normal person, living a life of a slave serving Zou County Cheng.

 …

It couldn't be done in a day or two to overthrow Prime Minister Zou County. Gu Jinli was very relieved about Qin Sanlang. After sending Qin Sanlang and others away, he put the matter aside for the time being and waited for news from him.

It is now approaching August, approaching the Mid-Autumn Festival. This is a major festival. Every household prepares festival gifts early and sends them to relatives and friends, especially the new son-in-law. The festival gifts are often given earlier than other families.

Wan Xiucai's family is so proud that they will send a festive gift to Gu Dafu's family on the sixth day of August.

Wan Lifang is a newly engaged husband, so he has to come in person to deliver the holiday gift.

Millozi and his parents also came together.

Mrs. Ni, the millet lady, looked very unhappy when she saw that Gu Dafu's family still lived in an old mud house. Didn't she say that Gu Dafu's family was the owner of Gu's workshop and Gu's restaurant? Why do you live so shabby? Look at this house, it’s about to collapse!

Mrs. Ni and her family were the companions of Mrs. Ni, and her heart was devoted to Mrs. Ni and Ni Ruiniang. When she saw that Gu Dafu's family lived in such a shabby house, she immediately despised them.

Hum, those who are fleeing from famine are those who are fleeing from famine. Even if they can afford to open a workshop and shop, how much property can they have?
