"No need to be polite! Gu Juren is already a Juren at such a young age. It really puts me to shame!" The two officials also started talking to Gu Chengyu in an official tone.
"Your Majesty, you are too modest, and the students are just lucky! The boat the students took this time did indeed encounter river bandits, and we narrowly escaped death. There were five river bandits on the boat who were tied up. Please take them back and interrogate them strictly!"
In order to save time, Gu Chengyu could only mention Jiang Bandit first, so as to save them from flattering each other and wasting time.
"Oh! Already caught? Boatman, why don't you go and bring the person over?" an official shouted, pointing at the person in charge.
The two officers quickly called their colleagues behind and prepared to go to the ship to bring the person over.
Gu Chengyu felt that he had to explain the corpses in the river and on the boat to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings. The person in charge had already become trembling when he saw the officials, and he could not expect the other party to take the initiative to talk.
"I wonder what you call the two adults? The steward and the students have some matters that they need to explain to the two adults."
At best, this matter is a great political achievement. Killing so many Jiang bandits and arresting a few more is a political achievement for them! But they must not be very happy, even if most of the credit goes to Shangguan
Okay, but Shangguan eats meat, so they can always drink some soup, right?
"My surname is Tian, and this is Mr. Jiang, the deputy inspector. Gu Juren has just finished the provincial examination from the capital, right?" Mr. Tian pulled Gu Chengyu, said politely, and asked the officer to call the supervisor over and inquire about the Jiang bandits.
the process of.
The steward and Gu Chengyu complemented each other and told the story again. Then Gu Chengyu talked about the remaining corpses of the river bandits on the boat, and finally asked the steward to report to his master's house that the dead boatman and two others were
As a ship passenger, he must compensate for these things. He was afraid that if he didn't tell the government, then if the owner refused to pay or paid less, wouldn't the deceased be wronged?
"So, it was Gu Jieyuan who helped the boatman to deal with the Jiang bandits?" Mr. Tian looked Gu Chengyu up and down. It wasn't that he wanted to be rude, but he couldn't believe it. This person was still a young man, and he could be so good.
Ability? Looking at his frail appearance, it was hard for him to imagine that he was as brave as the boatman described him to be.
"Of course not. How could this be the credit of the students? This is the result of everyone's concerted efforts. Students don't dare to take credit." Gu Chengyu waved his hands quickly, he didn't want to cause trouble.
"Sir, we have been brought here!" The officer grabbed a few Jiang bandits and came over. Seeing that the Jiang bandits were all injured, Mr. Tian hurriedly waved them off and asked a doctor to take a look. This is the final step for promotion.
Such proof, how could he not treat them well? He couldn't let them die like this.
"Sir, the student is going back to his hometown with his classmates this time. When will the ship leave?" Gu Chengyu and Sun Xian were also eager to return home. Of course, he had to ask clearly about the deadline. Besides, Sun Xian and the others were also candidates, so he also
It is a rule that you have to make an introduction.
"Ah! There are still candidates on board? How rude." Mr. Tian was very surprised to see Gu Chengyu acquiesce. The examination for candidates is not easy. How come so many of them from one village have passed the examination?
Mr. Jiang was also surprised. The people Gu Chengyu pointed out were all young boys. Is it so easy to take the exam now? At first, he thought Gu Chengyu was just looking at his tender face. Now he believed that Gu Chengyu was really young.
big.
Gu Chengyu called Sun Xian and others over, and then everyone introduced each other.
"Gu Juren, something like this happened on the ship. We will definitely not be able to get out of the ship in the next few days. Besides, you said that there are still corpses of river bandits in the river. We have to ask the boss of the ship to take us to find the direction, but we are in trouble!"
Master Tian and Gu Chengyu were familiar with each other, so they did not hesitate to tell Gu Chengyu the process of this matter.
"Then we can only take a hired carriage, which is a bit slower than sailing!" Gu Chengyu and Sun Xian looked at each other, and they both saw the eagerness in each other's eyes.
"We may have to keep a few of them for a few days. Gu Juren participated in killing the bandits, so I'm afraid there will be some reward from the superiors." Mr. Tian saw that they were Juren, so he gave them some face and told them something beneficial.
Gu Chengyu doesn't care about it, he has no shortage of money, but the other benefits may not be big, and he doesn't like it, so he might as well go back early!
"Master Tian, you don't know something! When I go back this time, my second sister's wedding is going to be held at home. The student is afraid that he will go back late and delay his second sister's wedding. What should I do? Besides, the reward is also a matter of course.
I guess if I could let the students go back earlier, I would be really grateful!"
Mr. Tian and Mr. Jiang looked at each other. This was the first time they had seen someone who didn't want rewards. However, isn't this just right? If one less person shares the credit, then they can take advantage of it.
"I see, that shouldn't delay the happy event of the Gu Jieyuan family. In fact, the credit is nothing, at most it's just some money!"
How could Gu Chengyu not understand Xiao Jiujiu in their hearts, but it was still worth it in exchange for returning earlier.
"Actually, the students felt very guilty about what happened this time. Those boatmen and boat passengers died unjustly! It was also the students' lack of ability." He didn't need the money himself, but he could give it to those in need. That's why he said this.
"How can I blame you? If it weren't for you, everyone on the ship wouldn't be alive! Don't take it personally, Gu Juren!" Mr. Tian originally wanted to invite Gu Chengyu and the others to sit in the government office, but Gu Chengyu declined.
.
"I don't know if the reward you mentioned just now is true. If you really have money, please distribute it to the family members of the deceased. This can be considered as a student's contribution!"
"Gu Juren is really upright and upright, and I admire him! Don't worry, Gu Juren, I will definitely do what you say!" Mr. Tian was somewhat sincere this time, and he couldn't help but admire Gu Chengyu's character.
However, what people care about most is reputation. Maybe what happened this time will bring many benefits to Gu Juren!
When Gu Chengyu and others returned to the boat, they found that the boat was in a mess. Everyone was clamoring to get off the boat, and some even grabbed the steward for money. It turned into a pot of porridge.
Gu Chengyu shook his head and ignored it. They had to pack their luggage and prepare to hire a carriage!
"Hey? Look, the three masters of the Juren Project are back! Let's go ask them to comment!" Someone with sharp eyes had already spotted Gu Chengyu and the others.
At first, they didn't know that Gu Chengyu was a judge, but everyone was still making irresponsible remarks behind his back. Now that they know that he is a judge and a human being, of course everyone will no longer be disrespectful to his face.
"That's right! Gentlemen, please give us a review!" Many people began to agree. They still can't get off the boat. The officials don't dare to make trouble, so they can only pester the managers.
The people in charge were also tired of dealing with it. If the guards saw it, they should pretend they didn't see it, so they wouldn't get into trouble! As long as it didn't go too far, they would just turn a blind eye.
