Gu Beiheng turned another corner before arriving at the county government office.
Let his own people guard the house.
The backyard of Yunxian County Government Office.
When Su Qi and Gu Beiheng arrived there, the servant at the door saw them coming.
I hurried forward and said hello.
The servant said with a grateful smile, "Master Gu, Madam Gu. Master Su is in the study discussing something with the Master. You two have arrived just in time."
Su Qi smiled faintly, "Please let the message pass."
"Madam Gu, you're joking. Please come in, both of you." The servant bowed and gestured, "My Lord said that you two can come in without any messenger."
"Thank you!" Su Qi said softly.
The servant took Su Qi and Gu Beiheng into the backyard.
There is a study with direct access from the backyard to the front yard.
"Sir, Mr. Gu and Mrs. Gu from Mengjiazhuang are here." The guard at the study door knocked on the door and said something when he saw Gu Beiheng and Su Qi coming.
No response.
The guard was about to knock again.
The door creaked open from the inside.
Zhou Huaan was in front and Su Tianze followed behind.
There were also Yao Zhubu, Lin Xiancheng and Lu Sichang beside them. When they saw Su Qi and the others, they all smiled.
"Mr. Gu, Mrs. Gu. Thank you very much for your help."
Zhou Hua'an stepped forward and bowed.
Su Qi dodged slightly to the side, and Gu Beiheng did the same.
The two of them are now common people and are not worthy of his courtesy.
Moreover, Zhou Hua'an is a person that Su Qi and Gu Beiheng admire.
"Mr. Zhou, you are too kind." Gu Beiheng clasped his fists.
"Come in."
Zhou Huaan moved his mouth, and finally only uttered three words.
Su Qi and Gu Beiheng followed Zhou Hua'an in.
Passing by Su Tianze, he grabbed Su Qi's arm and asked quietly, "Why did you two have a disagreement and haven't seen each other for three or four days? Dabao and Erbao are crying and asking for their parents."
Su Qi explained sheepishly: "It's an emergency. Where are Dabao and Erbao?"
Su Tianze glared at Gu Beiheng speechlessly, then cast a gentle gaze on Su Qi. He comforted Su Qi softly, "Don't worry, I've coaxed the two little guys."
"Second sister, how come a woman like you likes to show up in public?"
Su Qi glared at Su Tianze unhappily, "Brother, what do you mean?"
"What can I mean? I'm just afraid that you're working too hard and won't have a good life following this guy Gu Beiheng." Su Tianze saw that Gu Beiheng was not satisfied. He thought his sister should stay in the backyard and enjoy the good life.
Su Qi curled her lips and snorted coldly, "I don't like that kind of life. I like my current life, standing beside Bei Heng instead of behind him."
Speaking of this, Su Qi raised her little face.
Su Tianze was speechless for a moment.
Looking at Su Qi's smile, he couldn't help but think of their mother.
Yun Manyu was intelligent and quick-witted, but unfortunately her brilliance was hidden in the imperial court. She had to serve her mother-in-law, look after her husband, and raise the children. Yet, she never received a single kind word from her mother-in-law.
Gu Beiheng went into the room and stood waiting for Su Qi. He stretched out his hand to Su Qi.
Su Qi walked over and Gu Beiheng asked her to sit next to him. He only sat down after Su Qi sat down.
After seeing all this, Su Tianze seemed to know what Su Qi wanted?
A few people sat down and a servant came over to serve tea.
After the servant went out and closed the study door, Zhou Hua'an thanked Su Qi and Gu Beiheng again.
Su Qi smiled faintly, "Master Zhou, please don't be polite. What my husband and I do is just to ensure that the people of this land live and work in peace and contentment."
Zhou Hua'an, Yao Zhubu, Lin Xiancheng, and Lu Sizhang exchanged glances.
He looked at Su Qi with interest, "Madam Gu. Young Master Su has already told us something just now, but the county government is currently short of food."
Having said that, Zhou Huaan looked at Su Qi with even more eagerness.
He knew that Gu Beiheng and his wife had food, so he was not worried.
Su Qi said that her family would donate a batch of grain to Zhou Hua'an, but also pointed out that this grain would not be given for free. In the future, taxes on their shop and farm could be appropriately reduced or exempted.
Good deeds must be deductible from taxes.
Su Qi's suggestion immediately opened up Zhou Hua'an's mind.
This is a great idea.
A good cook cannot cook without rice. He now has a lot of ambitions but is unable to realize them.
What if there is food and silver?
Anything is possible.
Zhou Huaan accepted Su Qi's advice and also gave Su Qi and Gu Beiheng a lot of conveniences.
For example, the Gu family can have ten blank passes, and they can fill in any name they want.
People can also enter and exit the Yunxian city gate freely without being checked.
This is very convenient.
Su Qi gave the address to Zhou Hua'an and asked him to send someone to get the food the next day.
Zhou Huaan refused to agree, as he was afraid of more trouble.
He quickly stood up and ordered people to bring back the food immediately.
Seeing this, Su Qi and Gu Beiheng thought that the discussion was almost over and Zhou Hua'an was no longer in danger. They said goodbye to them and said they would return to Mengjiazhuang.
However, Gu Beiheng still suggested that Zhou Huaan should bring someone to protect him when he goes out to avoid being ambushed.
Zhou Hua'an was frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.
Those people in his county government office are not as powerful as others. They can be beaten by a few punches. He is very powerful in the county and is not as good as outsiders.
Gu Beiheng frowned and thought for a while.
"Master Zhou, if you don't mind, I have two men with great martial arts skills to recommend to you. They used to be escorts at the Jinyang Prefecture Escort Agency. If they follow Master Zhou, they will have a good career."
Gu Beiheng consciously did not introduce himself.
Zhou Hua'an bowed and said, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Master Gu."
"This man is Tang Dayu, and his brother-in-law, Hong Tiandao. In my opinion, they are both very loyal and skilled in martial arts. They also have several escorts with them. My Lord, you can take them all in."
When Zhou Huaan heard this, he was amazed at the good news.
Why not?
Naturally, I agreed without hesitation.
After a few more pleasantries, everyone went their separate ways.
Su Qi and Gu Beiheng first returned to the Liu Family Inn. The weasel had heard the news and came here early to wait.
He lowered his voice and said:
"Madam, those people also checked out and left. They look a bit like people from Dongqi Country."
Su Qi didn't know why there were always people from Dongqi Country hanging around here?
She frowned and said softly, "Never mind. Next time you come here, remember to be careful and have someone watching you."
"I understand."
Gu Beiheng went to find Yingyi to explain things, while Su Qi asked Huang Weasel to sell food next to the restaurant.
She told the weasel the address of the house where the grain was stored and told him the price and quantity at which the grain would be sold.
"Don't sell it to wealthy families. You must read the household registration documents carefully. Write down the quantity purchased in each document." Su Qi instructed Weasel one by one.
The weasel came down in response.
After explaining these things, Su Qi and Gu Beiheng hurried out of the city and returned to Mengjiazhuang.
This time, Su Tianze also returned to Mengjiazhuang with the two of them.
Just as Su Qi reached the village entrance, Ke Suanzi rushed out from the side road, throwing dirt clods at the little red horse, who snorted in protest.
"Master. What are you doing?" Su Qi was confused. Is the old man in menopause?
This age has been too long.
Ke Suanzi angrily blew his beard and shouted:
"You little bastard, there are a lot of patients at home that I, an old man, have to take care of. Where can you go to eat and drink?"
Su Qi: ...
"Master, I'm going to Yun County on important business. How are they doing now?"
Ke Suanzi deliberately snorted and turned his head away, ignoring Su Qi.
Su Qi's voice softened as she called out, "Master."
Ke Suanzi turned around, looking aggrieved. "Your Dabao and Erbao are so mean! Look at how many strands of my beard they've pulled out." Ke Suanzi pouted, pointing at his few remaining whiskers.
“This~.”
Su Qi knew that Dabao and Erbao were not the kind of people who would pull their beards casually.
Specify what happened.
