Chapter 2373
This?
Mrs. Chen panicked when she heard this, and hurriedly begged for mercy: "Mrs. Qin, I know I was wrong, and I won't dare to do it again... I just made a mistake because I wanted my little brother to be successful. I beg you to give me another chance." , don't make a fuss... My husband doesn't know about it, if he finds out, I, I'm afraid I will be divorced!"

Mrs. Chen covered her face and burst into tears, feeling very scared. If her husband was involved in this matter, her family would be ruined.

Gu Jinli said: "If someone dared to do something wrong before and still cried in front of me, I would definitely not show mercy and send you all to the government. How should I be judged? But this time it involves my aunt, and it hasn't caused a big disaster yet. , you take back the silver and live on as usual."

He looked at Widow Xiao again: "Auntie, you deliberately used your relationship with my family to make money. This is a felony and you must be fined 1000 taels of silver, which will be sent to the military camp to buy food and medicine for the soldiers."

"1000 taels? Nephew, daughter-in-law, are you crazy..." Widow Xiao was about to blow up, when she saw Gu Jinli cast a cold look over, she hurriedly suppressed the words that came out of her mouth, and pretended to cry: "Nephew, auntie knew it was wrong, I told Mrs. Chen Having said that, her younger brother can't be the manager of the pharmacy, but she doesn't believe it, so she insists on giving me money... Money, you also know Auntie, if you don't accept it, I'm afraid of committing crimes!"

"It's a crime for you to accept it!" Gu Jinli didn't bother to argue with her, so he said, "Either pay a fine of 1000 taels, or surrender yourself to the yamen now, and be sentenced to jail."

Now, Widow Xiao saw that Gu Jinli was really serious, and she really cried: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-wife"?

Gu Jinli smiled brightly: "Auntie, don't worry, uncle has made great contributions, and there will be a reward, 1000 taels, your family can afford it... Now that the reward hasn't come down yet, I'll pay you in advance, remember to pay it back."

Can you do this?

Widow Xiao cried even worse, 1000 taels, she just disappeared!
"Hey, lord!" Widow Xiao slapped her thigh, wanting to sit down and howl, but then remembered that she might be the general's wife, she couldn't lose her face too much, and held back desperately.

Seeing that she stopped howling, Gu Jinli took out a 100 tael bank note and handed it to Mrs. Chen: "Mrs. Chen, this is compensation from your aunt."

Then he turned to Widow Xiao and said, "One thousand and one hundred taels, remember to pay it back!"

Widow Xiao wanted to die, and all the happiness of the past month was gone, and she was crying.

"Take it." Gu Jinli stuffed the banknote and the bag that Widow Xiao took out to Mrs. Chen, and said solemnly: "Mrs. Chen, I think you are the first offender this time, so I won't take you to the county government office. If you commit the crime again, you will directly Disposal by military law, it must be known that it is a violation of military law to give money to the workshop controlled by the military camp!"

He added: "There is also the suspicion of taking the opportunity to harm my husband's reputation!"

Brother Qin just won the military power and won a battle. If it was reported that his relatives used his name to collect money to do things, his reputation would be completely ruined. How can he govern the Northwest in the future? !
With a splash, Mrs. Chen's face turned pale, and she really knelt down: "Mrs. Qin, please forgive me. I, I didn't mean to harm the reputation of Qin Xiaohou, it's just too..."

"Mrs. Chen, the matter has already come out, and talking about this is nonsense." Gu Jinli interrupted Mrs. Chen, saying: "In short, Mrs. Chen, remember that if you violate the military law again, it is not something that you let go lightly. It's going to be bloody!"

See, see blood?

Mrs. Chen rolled her eyes and almost fainted. She hurriedly held on for the sake of her family, nodded her head like garlic and said, "Yes, yes, yes, I know I made a mistake, and I will not dare to do it again. Thank you Mrs. Qin for your kindness, woo woo woo~"

It really scared her to death.

When she asked Widow Xiao for help with money, she also knew that it violated military law and criminal law, but everyone in Dachu did this in private, and Widow Xiao happily took the money, she, she I just thought that the Qin family had acquiesced in this matter, so, just... Now it seems that the Qin family doesn't know about it, and doesn't approve of this behavior. Widow Xiao is making money behind Qin's back!
Well, she was only half right.

It is true that Widow Xiao collected the money behind the Qin family's back, but Gu Jinli knew about it early in the morning. The reason why she didn't say it was because she knew that after Brother Qin won the battle, many people would come to curry favor with him and give him money. People who know him ask for work.In order to avoid major incidents in the future, I simply pampered Widow Xiao for a while, and then dealt with it severely, and took the opportunity to let the word out, anyone who dares to ask for money for work will be dealt with by military law!
Seeing her, Gu Jinli was really scared, nodded and said: "Go back, live a good life, don't fix these useless things, it will only hurt yourself."

He also said: "As your little brother is a person, he is very suitable to work in the pine oil workshop. He can read and write. As long as he is willing to work hard, he can be promoted to a small manager after a period of time, but the manager of the pharmacy, that is no need to think about it." Yes. The pharmacy is related to the lives of the soldiers in front. If you want to be in charge of the pharmacy, you must be from the army, or have a death contract, and you must know the pharmacology of medicinal materials. Your brother can't do it. You risk the whole family to get him He will not be in charge of the pharmacy for long, and he will be kicked out."

After hearing this, Mrs. Chen cried even more miserably.

Her little brother is a nerd, his feet were injured, he is a little lame, and he belongs to the people who are deficient in the five elements. It is difficult for him to enter the yamen as a clerk. She can only try her best to find a way for him, and really ignores whether he can take over A matter of work.

"Mrs. Chen, go back." Gu Jinli ordered Mrs. Chen to be sent out, and then asked to explain that all those who came to see Widow Xiao during this period were not allowed to enter the house.

Finally, someone was sent to the county government to say that in the future, behaviors such as embezzling money for work will be strictly punished, and people shouted at the streets and alleys: "General Qin governs the army strictly. Ten army sticks, severe ones will be beheaded for public display!"

"Begging for money is a violation of military law. Don't do it. If you do it, you will lose your head!"

It was shouting in the county every day, and it didn't take three days before everyone knew about it. Many people who had prepared money and were ready to find opportunities to stuff money for work, retreated one after another.

"Even the aunt of Lord Qin Xiaohou was fined 1000 taels of silver and beat twenty big boards. It is said that she is limping. If we do this again, we will be beheaded. Don't do it, don't do it. Come on, stop it!"

Everyone was scared, but Widow Xiao was indeed beaten, but she was not limped, she just suffered a little skin trauma, in exchange for at least 100 taels of silver.

As for Mrs. Chen...

The county magistrate was still very kind to this daughter-in-law. After all, they escaped together and did not divorce her.

And Mrs. Chen's younger brother continued to work in the pine oil workshop, but he used to complain that the work was smelly and tiring when he came home, but now he doesn't complain and works honestly.

After Gu Jinli finished his work, he began to make small shoes and summer clothes for the two cubs: "It will be summer when we see them again, so I have to make some cool clothes for them to wear."

He gestured to the small shoes again, and asked Sanqing: "Will it be too small? Bring the measuring rope."

"Yes." Sanqing hurriedly brought the measuring ropes of the two young masters sent by Nanny Yu.

Gu Jinli measured it and nodded with satisfaction: "The shoe is half an inch longer than the measuring rope, so it shouldn't be too small."

Looking at the shoes again, she sighed: "My Zai Zai's feet are really small."

I feel pitiful when I think about leaving my parents at such a young age.

But now she can only wait, after Brother Qin drives the bandits out of Longshan Mansion, and after the area is completely cleared of security, then she can take the child over.
