Chapter 77: Report to the authorities if you have the guts
During this period, hopes were dashed several times, and each time the prefect sent someone to report that nomadic tribes had appeared in the city.
When the Gu family rushed over to take a look, they saw a group of people from the Central Plains wearing nomadic clothes. No wonder Gu Feixue confirmed it again and again this time.
“Miss Gu, this time they are truly a nomadic tribe, and they seem to be looking for someone.”
Liang Jianwei's close confidant Li Pengcheng vowed.
"Gu Sang Gu Da, maybe your family really is here to look for you. Let's go to the city and take a look!"
During these few months, Gu Sang and Gu Da have become accustomed to life with the Gu family.
But their longing for their families and hometown remains the same as always.
Gu Feixue also promised them that if they had not found their relatives after the New Year, she would ask the prefect to find an escort agency to send them back to the place where the nomadic people lived.
I didn't expect to hear the news just after the Chinese New Year.
Gu Jia, along with Gu Sang and Gu Da, rushed to the government office in the city without stopping.
It is said that Magistrate Liang has already arranged people there, waiting for them to come and recognize their relatives.
"Your Excellency, the prefect also asked where the nomads who are looking for their relatives are now."
When Gu Lang saw Liang Jianwei, he asked immediately.
Seeing this, Liang Jianwei asked someone to call the nomadic people from the reception room to the front hall.
When Gu Sang and Gu Da saw the leader, they couldn't help but get excited.
Especially Gu Sang, her face was filled with longing and admiration, and her eyes were instantly filled with tears.
"Abu!"
Gu Sang said as he ran towards the burly middle-aged man.
At the same time, everyone heard Gu Da shout something and walked quickly towards the man.
No one knew what the two meant, but Gu Feixue could understand.
It turns out that Gu Sang is the daughter of the nomadic tribe leader! Gu Da and Gu Da are not actually siblings!
Previously, the two had always treated each other as brother and sister, and she always thought they were from the same family.
But just now Gu Sang called the middle-aged man "father", while Gu Da called him "clan leader".
No wonder Gu Sang said before that some members of the tribe came to her house for meals because the harvest was bad that year.
At that time, she guessed that Gu Sang's family should be well-off, but she didn't expect that she was actually the daughter of the clan leader.
Then everyone saw Gu Sang and Gu Da talking excitedly with the nomadic people.
Gu Feixue heard the two talk about what happened after they were separated from their tribesmen, how they were rescued by the Gu family, and then talked about the many delicious foods in the Central Plains.
Finally, they talked about the many friends they made, one of whom was Gu Feixue.
Listening to the two people's endless praises of her, Gu Feixue couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.
The others couldn't understand what the nomads were saying and could only stand by and stare blankly.
"What are they talking about? I think we've found the right person this time, right?"
Liang Jianwei and Li Pengcheng asked. Li Pengcheng looked at the nomadic people who were talking in a gibberish and nodded.
"It looks like it should be."
Perhaps seeing everyone standing there awkwardly, the nomadic tribe leader performed a Central Plains salute to Liang Jianwei and the others and said something.
Then Gu Sang stepped forward to help his father translate: "My father wants to thank you very much."
After all, it wasn't long since he had learned the Central Plains dialect, so Gu Sang told everyone the important meaning.
Liang Jianwei waved his hand, with an expression that said he would do good deeds without leaving a name:
"It's just a small favor, not worth mentioning. I've found your relatives, and I've also fulfilled Miss Gu's request."
Gu Sang turned around and said something to the clan leader, while also looking at Gu Lang and Gu Feixue.
The patriarch thanked the Gu family again. Although the Gu family did not understand what he meant, they knew that he was expressing his gratitude.
Afterwards, Nalan, the chief of the nomadic tribe, invited Liang Jianwei and the Gu family to have dinner at Zuixianlou.
During this period, everyone learned the full picture of the matter through the translation of Gu Sang and Gu Feixue.
Chief Nalan also heard of Gusang and Guda's Central Plains names and was very happy about it.
Finally, the nomadic people followed the Gu family back to Anju Village and planned to return to the north after a few days of preparation.
"We still have some tribesmen selling cattle and sheep in the horse and carriage market."
Hearing this, Gu Sang and the others were very happy and touched. They didn't expect that so many tribesmen would come to the Central Plains this time.
In the past, there were only seven or eight people from the tribe who came back to the Central Plains. This time, there were more than twenty people, obviously coming to look for them.
When Gu Feixue heard this, her expression changed slightly:
"Gu Sang, ask your father if there are any dairy cows among these cows?"
Gu Sang turned around and asked, and the answer he got was, of course there was.
"It's bad! There's a wealthy man watching the Chema Market. Your father and his family's cattle and sheep may have been bought by Qian Youliang."
For the nomadic tribe, it doesn’t matter who they sell it to, but it’s different for the Gu family and Zuixianlou.
If Qian Youliang bought these cattle and sheep, Zuixianlou would be in an even more difficult situation.
If it were someone else, Gu Feixue naturally wouldn't want to intervene, but the other party was a member of Gu Sang Gu Da's clan. Even if it cost more money, she was willing to buy the other party's cattle and sheep to avoid being cheated by Qian Youliang.
After all, those dairy farmers had no idea that the people from Zuixianlou were also buying dairy cows, so they were approached by Qian Youliang's people in advance and had to bargain down the price to buy the cows.
After learning the whole story, the Nalan clan leader took everyone from the Gu family to the carriage and horse market in the city.
However, he happened to see Qian Youliang's servants surrounding seven or eight nomadic tribesmen, with unfriendly looks on their faces.
Those nomadic people could not understand the Central Plains dialect, but the ancient people of the Gu family and Gu Sang and Gu Da understood what Qian Youliang's servants said.
"If you know what's good for you, don't be so shameless. Two taels of silver for a cow or sheep is a bargain for you. You have to sell it today, whether you want to or not!"
Under normal circumstances, a cow or sheep would cost at least four taels of silver, and even a dairy cow would cost three taels of silver.
The cattle and sheep of the nomadic tribes are stronger than those in the Central Plains. They offered two taels of silver, obviously wanting to rob them!
"Wait! We won't sell these cattle and sheep!" Gu Da shouted at Qian Youliang's servants.
The person on the opposite side looked unhappy when he saw more than ten people suddenly appear behind him.
"You think you're so great because you have so many people? If you don't sell it to us today, be careful that our Lord Qian will make sure you can't stay in Liangcheng!"
Gu Feixue looked at these people who were trying to turn the tables. It was obvious that they were the ones who first relied on their numbers and local tyrants to surround the nomadic people and try to force them to buy or sell.
Now they say they have more numbers and more power. This is outrageous!
So Gu Feixue raised her voice and said sarcastically:
"We're just relying on our numbers. If you have the guts, go report it to the authorities now! If you want to buy it, pay the market price. If you're short a penny, get out of here!"
Gu Feixue's words left the servants speechless. Report to the police? Report them and have them arrested?
The people of Chema City did not help at first because the nomadic people were more wary of other tribesmen. After all, their children were lost in the Central Plains.
Now that they saw Gu Feixue coming up to help, Tian Dali and others knew that these nomadic people were their own people, and they immediately drew their weapons and demonstrated against the servants of Qian Youliang's family.
In the end, those who wanted to force purchases and sales naturally left the Chema Market in disgrace because they lacked the momentum.
As for the livestock brought by the nomadic tribe, they just happened to solve the urgent needs of the Gu family and Zuixianlou.
By the time everyone returned to Anju Village with the cattle and sheep, it was already midnight.
