In the lobby of Yanggu County, Jiang Zhixian looked at Mrs. Hu who was crying in a mess. She was secretly funny in her stomach. She thought that this woman was really unconventional, so she kept crying without a lawsuit. She reluctantly listened to her finishing the matter. Jiang Zhixian looked angry and slapped the table, saying, "What a tough guy, Long Wu, you dare to come to bully others. You left and right, and you went to get this person with me."

As he spoke, he nodded to the yamen runner next to him. The yamen runner understood it and took the order with a righteous look.

Jiang Zhixian said quietly: "Mrs. Hu, don't be sad. I will make it clear after taking this person."

Mrs. Hu had found the organization, but she felt that the grievances she had suffered in the past two days could no longer be suppressed. She was in a state of excitement and burst into tears. She looked so scary. Jiang Zhixian frowned and became more and more impatient. If it weren't for Hu's strong figure, she would have given her a lot.

Half an hour later, Mrs. Hu's tears gradually decreased, but her resentment became higher and higher. Looking back at the hall, the yamen runners who went to arrest the people were still missing. They became anxious and reported to Jiang Zhixian County: "Sir, Long Wu is so cunning. I heard that they are all gathered in the Wu family gambling house on weekdays. Please check it out."

Jiang Zhixian nodded and said, "Madam, please rest assured, I will make the decision for you today."

After waiting for a long time, the yamen runners who arrested the people rushed back in a hurry. They were sweating profusely and loyal to the hall and reported, "Sir, the young men searched Yanggu City, but they did not find any trace of Long Wu."

Jiang Zhixian said "Oh?" and said, "Have you gone to the Wu family gambling house?" The yamen runners nodded and replied that they had been there.

Jiang Zhixian looked at Mrs. Hu in embarrassment and said, "Madam, it is not because of the negligence of our subordinates in this county, but if Long Wu cannot be found, you cannot be convicted. But please rest assured. I will ask them to search in a hurry and call on the wife when they find Long Wu County."

Mrs. Hu was not willing to obey and said, "Sir, Long Wu must have been hiding in Wu Jia. They have a nest of snakes and rats. Moreover, this matter was caused by Jin'er. You can tell me that you sent someone to Wu's family to capture Jin'er. You also ask the Lord to issue a document to capture Long Wu who is on the run!"

Jiang Zhixian's face sank: "Is the wife teaching the county to handle the case? Long Wuben is a suspect, how can he issue a document to take him? How can the county make a verdict before the case is revealed? As for Jin'er's affairs, are you suing Wu Daqiang to steal your slaves?"

Why did Mrs. Hu listen to this? But she didn't dare to sue Wu Da and rob Jin'er. After all, she was in the wrong hands first. If everything was done clearly, she also violated the law. While he was hesitating, County Magistrate Jiang slowed down again and said, "Madam Hu, please rest assured. This county will step up its search for Long Wu and give her an explanation as soon as possible." She winked and the yamen runners on both sides shouted "Get out!"

Mrs. Hu was so dizzy that she left the lobby by Jiang Zhixian's soft and hard work. Then she came to her senses. It was really the same as what her husband said? It seems that Jiang Zhixian is clearly covering up Wuhan University, and he can't find Long Wu. Is this obviously a common drag-on technique used in the officialdom? I'm afraid that even if they walked opposite Long Wu, they would pretend not to recognize him. Knowing that if Long Wu was not found, the case could not be decided. She even said it to me that she was so generous that she vomited hard at the gate of the yamen. She couldn't do it for a while, so she had to take her servants back and then discuss it.

A few days later, Yanggu City suddenly became a hot topic. It is said that there was a post newspaper and a plague broke out in Jiangnan. Those who had good things went to the county government to ask about it, but they were blocked by spreading rumors and went all over the street to catch people who spread rumors. But when the government made such a fuss, the news spread more and more fiercely. That's right, if it was really a false thing, why would you block the mouths of the people with such a big fanfare? I'm afraid it was a strict order from the court to avoid panic. How long did you live?

On the slightest day, a few guests with a Jiangnan accent appeared on the street. Who knew that the next day, these people disappeared, so the news of the government expelled them was spreading. In the teahouse and wine shops, everyone seemed to have just returned from Jiangnan, saying that saliva was flying everywhere and eyebrows were flying. The state prefecture was already deserted, and the Yangtze River was already hungry. The speakers were shabby and the listeners nodded and lamented.

A few days later, when I went to the Grand Canal Wharf, I suddenly found that an extremely gorgeous two-story boat was docked at the dock. Some people even found that a middle-aged man with luxurious clothes appeared on the bow of the ship. Isn’t it that Ye Yuanwai, the richest businessman in Jiangnan? Ye Yuanwai is not the kind of cheap man who can just call him casually. He was indeed a member of the Ministry of Personnel of the court. Later, he resigned and returned home and started a business. The Ye family was originally a huge family, and a noble concubine was born in the previous generation.

The Empress is also a relative of the foreigners. As for the officials who are in the court, there are countless officials who are in the court. Therefore, Ye Yuanwai's business is smooth. It is said that his family has made a fortune of tens of millions of yuan. It can be said that he is the number one tycoon of the Song Dynasty. His business is spread all over the south of the Yangtze River. I heard that he has already reached the barbarians overseas. Ye Yuanwai's biggest business is the medicinal material business. Now there is a plague in Jiangnan. Who is the six-fingered old man? It must be that Jiangnan's medicinal material exhaustion and came to the north to collect medicinal material. This news spread throughout Yanggu for a time.

In the courtyard of the Wu family, Wu Zhi gathered the five maids in the yard and glanced at them for a while, making the maids feel up and down. Although Wu Zhi is always kind to them, which is far from the image of the number one bully in Yanggu in the legendary world, these maids have to say that they are not afraid of him as fake. At this time, they don’t look at him at all, but just look at him, and their hearts are beating fast. I wonder if the officials of the Wu Dawei have any discomforts to find their own bad luck.

Fortunately, Wu Zhi just said coldly, "From today on the start, no one is allowed to leave the Wu family without my order." Then he turned around and went into the inner hall. Although the maids didn't know why the officials from the Wu Dynasty suddenly came with such a rule, after all, the rules of the Wu family were still very relaxed on weekdays. But the girls were still relieved. After all, it was not to cause trouble for themselves. As for this rule, some wealthy families had such rules long ago. Only Yulan was a little absent-minded and didn't know what they were thinking about.

Jinlian and Jin'er were chatting there. Seeing Wu Zhi come in, they all stood up quickly. Wu Zhi smiled and waved his hand and said, "We don't have so many rules in our family, so you can talk about you." The second girl smiled. After these days, Jin'er also knew that Wu Zhi's temperament was the most peaceful. Sometimes she thought that the legendary brother-in-law outside was a fierce brother-in-law. I heard that some people used this classic line to scare children. I don't know if the smiling brother-in-law in front of me was really that scary.

The two girls sat down and continued the topic just now. Wu Zhi was amused by the audience. Their topics were similar to those of the aunts hundreds of years later. They were all the children of whom were so naughty, and the old sows from whose family had given birth to more than a dozen pigs, and the noodles in the East Street noodle shop were actually very unpalatable, etc.

With the curtain lifted, Magnolia walked in from outside, holding a small white porcelain plate in her hand, and three cups of steaming fragrant tea were placed on the table, and then she left.

Wu Zhi heard her steps gradually fade away, hesitated for a moment, and said to Jinlian: "Jinlian, I have something to discuss with you."

Jinlian smiled and said, "Your husband can say whatever he has, and you can discuss with Jinlian without any discussion."

Jin'er next to her also laughed in her heart. It seemed that her brother-in-law's love for her sister was really nothing to say, and she had enough money to do.

Wu Zhi looked at the white phoenix jade pendant that Jinlian had been hanging around his waist since he bought it. After thinking for a long time, he finally said: "I have been a little tight in business recently. Can I lend me the jade pendant first? I mortgaged it to the Ma family jewelry for some cash, and I can redeem it in a few days."

Although Jinlian was a little reluctant, she took off the jade pendant as she said, and handed it to Wu Zhi. Wen Yan said, "Take it, Jinlian's things are all from her husband. You don't have to bother to explain anything to Jinlian. Jinlian will listen to everything." Jin'er next to her asked, "Brother-in-law, what business are you doing? I heard that you are rich now, why are you going to mortgage things?"

Although Jinlian also showed concern on her face, she still pulled Jin'er and said, "Don't ask, your brother-in-law's affairs are not what we women should ask, don't upset your brother-in-law." Jin'er pouted and stopped talking.

Wu Zhi sighed and thought for a while and said, "I've been busy with big business recently... wait a moment." When he said this, he stood up, opened the curtain and looked around, closed the door tightly, and then went to the window to open the window and looked out. He glanced at the corner of his eyes and saw a black shadow under the window. He couldn't help but sneer on the corner of his mouth, and he didn't say anything, but just slowly closed the window.

Seeing his nervous look, Jinlian couldn't help but say, "Since my husband's affairs are confidential, don't tell me. It's not beautiful to leak them out." Jin'er also nodded.

Wu Zhi smiled and said, "It's okay, we are all our own people. As long as we don't hear it by our servants, we just happen to be idle, so I'll tell you, you should know about the Jiangnan plague, right?" Jin Lian asked in confusion: "Is this true? Isn't the government arresting the spreading rumors?"

Wu Zhi smiled and said, "Of course it's true, otherwise, there would be no such great opportunity to make us develop." He kept laughing, looking very proud.
