Chapter 983

....
983 There is no one else
Entering from the northeast gate, the north side was the Peng family Army’s North Camp, and the east side was the area where ordinary people lived.
Because of the cold weather, other than the bailiffs patrolling the streets, there were very few commoners.
When the bailiff saw the Peng family, he went up to greet them.
First Madam Peng introduced Gu shouxin to the two bailiffs, the new county Magistrate, and asked them to bring him to the county office.
After that, the two families separated.
After turning two streets, they walked onto the long Street that connected the East and West gates. Then, they turned left and they would reach the county office.
The Gu family got off the carriage and looked at the house that was even older than the old house in the village. They had a headache.
“Wang Cheng, Zhang Hu, you two inform the others to come to the Yamen later! This official has some instructions!” Gu shouxin calmly said to the two bailiffs.
“Milord, there are only the two of us in the Yamen, no one else.” Wang Cheng said shamefully.
The Gu family members were speechless.
Princess Jinghe was shocked. She had never heard of a county government with only two bailiffs.”What about your County Yamen, Registrar, and county lieutenant?”
“He was executed together with County Magistrate Hu,” Wang Cheng replied.
“So the other bailiffs were also executed?” Gu Xin asked.
“That’s right.” Wang Cheng replied. Only the two of us swore not to commit treason, so we stayed behind.”
Gu shouxin was expressionless,”then it’ll be the two of you!” Come over for a moment.”
Then, the family entered the Yamen. They went in from the front, passed through the main hall, then to the second hall, and further in was the inner courtyard.
The area was quite large. It could be seen that the Peng family had sent people to clean up after hearing the news. At least there was not much dust in the house.
There were a total of three maidservants, four manservants, an old woman, and a coachman in their group.
There was also the White two, four, six, eight, that Gu Xin brought along.
The Gu family was not a pampered family. Since things had already come to this and there was no way to change it, they would just accept it!
The family split the luggage. Uncle Gu took his, Zhang Shi’s, and Gu Ren’s things. The few girls and en Zi took their own things. Gu shouxin took his and Cai Xiaolian’s things. Grandma Gu took the old couple’s things.
The layout of this inner courtyard was quite clear, with a main room and a side square.
The previous County Magistrate probably also had many daughters. He even built an embroidery building in the inner courtyard. It was a small courtyard with a total of six rooms.
Gu Nian had four daughters in her family. Including Princess Jinghe, there were only five of them. Therefore, the empty room was used as Gu Nian’s laboratory.
Although the house was old, it was very big. There was a big garden for Grandpa Gu to grow his flowers and a pond for raising fish.
Although the Peng family had already helped to clean up the place, grandma Gu still asked the three servant girls and the old woman to clean up the place except for the bedroom.
They went to the bedroom by themselves.
Grandpa Gu was still feeling a little upset. His son was the top student in high school, but he ended up in such a place. His status did not make his children and grandchildren better, but worse.
“Brother Chuan, you have to believe in second brother. He’s got a plan,” grandma Gu consoled him. If you really don’t feel good about it, you can ask little Lian to draw a painting and send it back when you’re done. Just draw us from the main hall, one by one. The Emperor knows how to do it. ”
Grandpa Gu pouted and said,”that’s right. I want little Lian to make it even more tattered.” We also need to send a few people that second brother trusts to be his assistants.”
Grandma Gu smiled. that’s why we don’t know anything. Let the people who know do it themselves. Let’s just live a good life and strive to live a few more years to see the children get better.”
