Chapter 124 The Gu Family is waiting for its destruction
When the grain shop owners saw that the county magistrate had really distributed the land deeds to them, they all felt relieved and reported the amount of grain in their stock to Gu Xi one by one.
Gu Xi made a statistic and found that the grain collected by these grain shop owners amounted to a total of 600,000 kilograms, which was twice as much as the county granary.
In this way, each of the 30,000 disaster victims can get 30 kilograms of food, which should be enough to last until the autumn harvest, and the refugees' food problem will be solved.
When Chu Zhao heard Gu Xi say that they had enough food, he was very happy and started to show off. He cleared his throat and said loudly:
"My dear bosses, I am deeply grateful for your generosity. As the saying goes, natural disasters are ruthless, but people are kind. Good deeds will be rewarded, and the people will remember you!"
Then he looked at Gu Xi with a proud look on his face and said, "Look, this young general can act as a county magistrate in a proper manner, right?"
Gu Xi rolled his eyes and asked with his eyes: Are you advertising for Gu Ming?
This brat said all the lines she wanted to say.
No matter whether he was playing the Turkic king and his wife before, or playing the Gu Ming master and servant now, why is it always this guy's turn to steal the spotlight?
The grain shop owners all left to arrange for the grain transportation. Gu Xi yawned and said:
"You take care of the rest. We'll start distributing the food tomorrow morning. I need to go get some sleep."
Only after sleeping can I go back to the modern world to buy seeds and distribute them to farmers together with the grain tomorrow.
Chu Zhao went out of the house to keep an eye on the grain transportation. Gu Xi didn't know where Butler Gu usually lived, so he planned to find an empty courtyard to sleep in.
Before I found it, I saw a well-dressed maid running over in a hurry, bowing and asking:
"Butler, where is the master?"
Gu Xi didn't know her, but thinking that Gu Ming was the eldest son of the Gu family, he should be the master the maid was talking about, so he asked:
"My Lord has left the house on urgent business. What do you want?"
The maid stamped her feet and said anxiously, "Madam heard that the master wanted to give all the food to the refugees, and she wanted to know the reason."
This lady is well-informed. She stays up late at night and is still paying attention to Gu Ming's official affairs.
"Oh, about that. Then you go and report to my wife and tell her that my Lord is doing this for his career. If the disaster relief work is done well, my Lord will be promoted to prefect in no time."
The maid's face lit up with joy, "Is that true?"
Gu Xi nodded heavily, "Real, truer than real gold."
The maid went back happily. Tonight, Madam Gu Ming would probably go to sleep with the beautiful dream of becoming the wife of the prefect.
Gu Xi walked forward and saw a yard. There was no one guarding the door. It seemed to be an empty yard with no one living there, so he walked in.
There were no lanterns in the yard, and the house was dark and unlit.
She used the flashlight to find a bed, then took out a set of bedding from the space. Just as she spread it out and lay down, she heard what seemed to be a little girl crying somewhere.
She sat up again, walked out of the room and listened carefully. The sound seemed to come from the courtyard in the north.
She flew onto the roof and looked to the north, where she found a large yard with lights on and shadows swaying inside.
Gu Xi used his lightness skills and leaped into the yard in a few leaps.
Now I could hear clearly that there was a little girl crying:
"Help... Old Master... Please..."
"Old Master, please spare my life..."
More than one.
There was no one guarding the yard, only guards outside.
Gu Xi tiptoed to the window, took out a utility knife from the space, carefully cut a small hole in the window paper, and leaned over to look inside.
I was so angry that I felt like my lungs were about to explode.
There was an old man in his fifties sitting in the room. It was hard to describe his appearance, but he was extremely wretched. There were also five little girls in the room.
They were none other than the five little girls who had just been bought into the mansion today.
The little girls' eyes were filled with fear and their bodies were trembling.
The wretched old man said, "My dear, serve me well, and you will benefit from it."
Then he let out a creepy laugh.
TNND! How could there be such a despicable scum! He is worse than an animal!
Gu Xi didn't think twice and shot a needle from the anesthetic gun, knocking the old man down first.
When the little girls saw the old man fainted, they thought he was dead and screamed in fear.
Gu Xi pushed the door open, and the little girls saw that it was the housekeeper who bought them. They were all scared, huddled in the corner, trembling and crying silently, not daring to say a word, their hearts filled with fear and helplessness.
The two little girls who were closest to the old man were so frightened that they rolled their eyes and fainted.
Gu Xi was heartbroken. Of these five children, the oldest was about ten years old and the youngest was only five or six years old. How could this old bastard have the heart to do that to them?
I just heard the girls calling "old man", and I guessed it was Gu Ming's father.
Originally, Gu Xi just wanted the Gu family to return the money they had embezzled, and at most they would just lose money, but now, she has changed her mind.
Gu family, wait for your destruction.
The little girls were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they almost lost their minds. Gu Xi held back his rage and could not kill anyone in front of them.
So he walked over, used some sleeping pills, and knocked out the three girls who were not unconscious. He then carried them all into the villa in the space, put them on a big bed, and covered them with blankets.
Let them have a good sleep first.
Gu Xi flashed out of the space, his eyes full of murderous intent!
He raised his knife and killed the old bastard without hesitation.
A stream of blood gushed out and splashed all over the ground.
Gu Xi took a deep breath, took out a wet towel to wipe the blood off his hands, then turned and left.
In fact, there are such scums in the modern world, and some of them are even role models. In modern times, people cannot kill people casually, but here, Gu Xi kills without any burden.
This evil pervert deserves to be put to death!
In order not to delay the disaster relief, Gu Xi quietly left the courtyard, injected a few anesthetic needles, and the guards at the door also fainted, in order to prevent them from discovering that the old man was dead and affecting Chu Zhao's work.
Before the relief grain is distributed, the ancient mansion cannot be in chaos.
Gu Xi returned to the empty courtyard, took a deep breath and relaxed for a long time. The rage in his heart gradually subsided and he fell asleep.
