"Don't be in a hurry to throw away the stick. Just leave it in the room. Madam is weak and the ghost might come again."
"If that happens again, just beat them in the same way."
Mr. Luo hurriedly thanked them and personally escorted the three of them to the door.
After walking out of the alley, Gu Lingze laughed so hard that she fell down, holding her stomach and leaning on Zhao Chengmo.
County Magistrate Tan also laughed out loud when he was led by him. Before parting, he took out two silver bills and handed them to Gu Lingze.
"Thank you very much today, Brother Gu. This banknote will be used as consultation fee."
Gu Lingze didn't answer, but smiled and said, "Since Mrs. Li is not sick, there is no need for medical fees. My Lord, take care."
Magistrate Tan thought for a moment and took the banknote back. "If you need help in the future, come to me."
Magistrate Tan returned to the county government office, while Gu Lingze and Zhao Chengmo were on their way to Brother Wu's shop.
Gu Lingze couldn't help laughing when he thought of Li's expression when she was beaten, but Zhao Chengmo beside him remained indifferent.
He then realized that the other party was in a bad mood, and gently poked Zhao Chengmo's waist with his fingertips, "What's wrong with you?"
The other party didn't say anything, but his expression showed that he was not happy.
"What's the matter?" He was fine when he left the county government office, why is he so depressed now?
"Why did you keep looking at Mr. Luo?"
Gu Lingze looked puzzled, "When did I keep looking at him?"
After he finished speaking, he began to recall the past, and as he thought about it, a sly smile suddenly appeared on his face.
He suddenly leaned forward and got very close to Zhao Chengmo, "What? Are you jealous?"
Gu Lingze thought he would not answer, but he did not expect the other party to just say "hmm".
He looked seriously at Zhao Chengmo's inky eyebrows and red ears.
Suddenly I felt that the other person was like the ice cream I had eaten before. Although it was always cold on the outside, it tasted sweet in the mouth.
"Why would I deliberately look at him? He is not as good-looking as you."
After Gu Lingze finished speaking, he just kept walking forward, leaving the other person standing there stupidly.
Zhao Chengmo touched the scar on his face thoughtfully. Not knowing what he was thinking about, a deep and magnetic laugh gradually emerged from his throat.
When they arrived at Brother Wu's shop, they told him everything about what Magistrate Tan had come to see them for. Everyone burst into laughter after hearing it.
"If you ask me, Mrs. Li is asking for it. What's wrong with her son getting married? Why does she have to act so mysterious?"
After listening to Aunt Tao's words, Mr. Xu also nodded.
"By the way." Brother Wu looked at the two of them, "How are you going to solve the Zhao family's problem?"
The Zhao family is like a fly, constantly flying around in front of one's eyes, making people extremely annoyed.
"Let's deal with them tomorrow." Gu Lingze naturally had plenty of ways.
The family waited until the afternoon, picked up Jinzi and Wu Rui, and went to Yunlai Restaurant for dinner together.
After breakfast the next day, Gu Lingze and Zhao Chengmo set off for the county town.
When they arrived at the Zhao family's door, it was Zhao Hongwen who opened it. When he saw that it was them, he panicked and quickly closed the door.
Zhao Chengmo kicked the door bolt in half, and the two of them walked in calmly.
"How dare you come here? What have your parents done to them?"
Zhao Hongcai looked at them fiercely, as if he was ready to pounce and bite them at any time.
Gu Lingze discovered that since he came here, all the top people he met would turn the tables on him.
Not wanting to waste time talking to them, he got straight to the point.
"I'll ask you one last time, are you going to sign the severance agreement?"
Zhao Hongcai looked at them with red eyes, "If you want us to sign the divorce agreement, you have to pay five thousand taels of silver, not a penny less."
Gu Lingze gave him a mocking look, then pulled Zhao Chengmo out.
When he was almost at the door, he heard Zhao Hongcai's voice from inside the house.
"If you want to leave us behind and live a good life, wait until next life!"
Gu Lingze raised his eyebrows, and a dark light flashed in his eyes.
In the blink of an eye, a few days passed and Gu Xiuyi sent a letter.
The letter asked when they would leave for the capital so that he could prepare for the reception in advance.
Gu Lingze couldn't help but sigh at the other party's meticulousness, even thinking of Xu Mingyan's examination in advance.
Just as I was about to write my reply, Zhao Chengmo walked in.
"Something happened to Zhao Hongcai."
When they arrived at Zhao's house again, the yard was in a mess and there were several burly men sitting in the hall.
As the two entered the courtyard, everyone's eyes were fixed on them.
"Third, third brother, please save your eldest brother!" The person crying and wiping tears is Zhao Hongcai's wife.
Mrs. Hu also lay on the ground and screamed, but no one cared about her now.
Zhao Chuantie walked up to Zhao Chengmo with a hunched back, trying to slow down his tone.
"San'er, lend 500 taels to your eldest brother, and this money will be deducted from the filial piety money in the future."
Zhao Chengmo didn't show any emotion after hearing this, and just looked at everyone with a cold expression.
"Do you really want to force your elder brother to death?" When Zhao Chuantie said this, the veins on his face popped out.
"It's no problem to take the money. As long as you sign this, we will pay you right away."
As Gu Lingze spoke, he took out a letter of severance from his sleeve, unfolded the paper and handed it to Zhao Chuantie.
"Don't even think about it!" Zhao Chuantie snatched it away and tore it into pieces in his hands like a madman.
Gu Lingze calmly took out another one from his arms. The other party pretended to grab it, but he suddenly pulled his hand back, leaving the other party empty-handed.
"Think it over carefully. This is the last one. If you tear it again, Zhao Hongcai will die today."
Zhao Chuantie raised his head and stared at Zhao Chengmo, saying with a ferocious look on his face: "Hong Cai is your biological elder brother!"
"Then when did he ever treat me as his own brother?"
Those childhood memories that I thought I had forgotten, scene by scene, pass through my heart.
Zhao Chengmo clenched his fingers, and suddenly a warm hand wrapped around his clenched fist.
Zhao Chengmo loosened his fingers and interlocked them with the other person. Those bad memories were like the sand in a stream, washed away by the trickle of water.
At this time, a sturdy man in black walked out from the main hall, his eyes constantly scanning the three people.
"So, who is going to pay for this?"
"I don't have time to waste with you. If you don't have money, we will take Zhao Hongcai away."
"If you lose arms and legs, you can't blame us."
"Take him away!" As soon as the words fell, two sturdy men, also dressed in black, dragged Zhao Hongcai out like a dead dog.
"Wait." Gu Lingze called out to the other party.
"How much money does Zhao Hongcai owe you?"
The man in black opened his palm and gestured, "This grandson owed our gambling house 500 taels. Our boss was kind and gave him all the change."
Gu Lingze took out five hundred taels of silver from his sleeve and shook it. When the burly man was about to take it, he withdrew his hand.
"Don't be impatient, I still have questions to ask." After saying that, he looked at the person in front of him again.
"Zhao Chuantie, will you sign this marriage agreement or not?"
