Han Sanxi stared at the official ticket issued by the imperial court with the amount of "one hundred taels of silver" in front of him, almost popping his eyes out.

He is already in his thirties and has lived carelessly for half his life, but he has never touched a single piece of silver before. Now God has actually sent him such a huge sum of money. How can he not be tempted?

Having said that, Han Sanxi still retains the last trace of reason. Little people also have the wisdom of little people. It seems that old gangsters like him who have been crawling on the streets for many years have already understood one truth - although money is good, it also requires a life.

Flower.

"This man -" After thinking about it again and again, Han Sanxi finally swallowed, turned his eyes away from the bank note, and opened his mouth to the strange man opposite him and said, "It's not that a villain doesn't know how to show appreciation.

Chen Ji's fire is indeed burning strangely, but the county has already issued a notice saying that this incident was purely accidental. If this villain dares to go and complain, wouldn't it be a slap in the face of the county magistrate?"

"As far as I know, you and Han Erfu, the shopkeeper of Chenji, are brothers?" Tian Zhitang asked with a smile.

"It's true that the villain and Han Erfu are brothers, but because of the little bits and pieces they had when they separated, the two parties had already stopped contacting each other. Otherwise, with his later identity as the shopkeeper of Chen Ji, he wouldn't have been able to watch the villain helplessly.

How come you are in such a bad situation today!" Han Sanxi smiled sarcastically, but his tone was full of resentment.

"As the saying goes, 'Blood is thicker than water.' No matter what grudges you have in the past, you will never be able to write two characters 'Han' in one sentence. Now that Han Erfu is dead, except for his old wife and young daughter, there is no man in the family who can support him.

.If the fire is really deemed an accident by the government, the responsibility will fall on the shopkeeper Han Erfu. Who taught him to be careless and neglectful of precautions? Even if the owner's house is kind-hearted and does not make things difficult, only the few rooms next door suffered.

I'm afraid the compensation for the shop that has been ruined is not a small sum." Tian Zhitang's smile remained unchanged, but suddenly the topic changed and he added: "I heard that Han Erfu has accumulated a lot of wealth over the years, not to mention a huge fortune, a total of three to five thousand yuan.

There are still some. It would be a pity to accept compensation so easily."

"Ah? So many!" Han Sanxi was startled when he heard the words, and his eyes quickly became hot. If he hadn't heard what the man in front of him said with his own ears, he would never have imagined that his brother who had no contact with him for a long time would leave such a legacy after his death.

Huge inheritance!

"No matter whose family something like this happens, the orphans and widowers will find it difficult to withstand it. A man must take the lead to avoid being bullied by outsiders. Han Sanxi, what do you think?"

"Um - ah? Oh! Yes, yes! You are so right! This kind of thing depends on men! I will go to my sister-in-law to help guard! I want to see which bastard dares to miss me

The Han family’s belongings!”

"It's better to go to the government office first." Seeing that the other party had been completely persuaded, Tian Zhitang smiled secretly and reminded him, "After all, if the people don't take action, the officials won't investigate."

"But the county has - already -" As soon as he heard the word "official", Han Sanxi, who was already extremely excited, immediately fainted. As the saying goes, "The county magistrate who ruins the family, the governor who destroys the family", the county

The Chenji fire has clearly been classified as an accident, so how can he, a mere ordinary citizen, have the courage to cry out for injustice and reverse the case?

"Isn't there still a state capital?" Tian Zhitang blinked.

"Prefecture capital? My lord, don't you know that it's a crime to go beyond the level and sue?" Han Sanxi said with a grimace, waving his hands and shaking his head, "You have to get dozens of slaps before the lord can ask you questions. It's too much for a villain!"

"Don't worry, the reason why the court wants to block the lawsuit is to prevent unreasonable people from causing trouble or slandering officials. It's not to prevent people from redressing their grievances. Cases like Chen Ji's fire are a case of humiliation and the official hastily closed it without a reason. You

As a family member of the deceased, just go ahead and file the complaint boldly. If anyone slaps you for complaining, the supervisory censors in the imperial court will not let him go."

"But -" Although the man in front of him spoke with great certainty, Han Sanxi was still hesitant to make a decision.

"Let's do this. If the state government hits you, for every hit, I will give you an extra ten taels of silver for soup and medicine. How about it?" Tian Zhitang knew why the other party was hesitant, so he happily agreed.

"Sir, do you really mean what you said?" Han Sanxi was perked up when he heard this. They say that drinking makes people bold, and so does money. With a golden shield protecting you, what else is a mere yamen board?

"When have you ever seen a tiger come down from the mountains just to find cats and dogs to amuse him?" Tian Zhitang sneered angrily. This sentence, which was not a positive response, made Han Sanxi even more convinced.

"Hey - if that's the case, then the villain is going to the government office now?" After taking the reassurance, Han Sanxi no longer had any worries and asked with a flattering smile.

"Don't worry, while it's still early, go outside and find someone to write a petition for you and take it with you. Remember, don't pull out those useless things, just stick to one thing - if there is an accident, why are they scattered in front?

No one among the thirty or so living people in the shop and the workshop at the back had to take off their clothes?"

After bidding farewell to Tian Zhitang, Han Sanxi immediately went to the private school in Fangzhong to find someone to write the petition on his behalf. Although he never knew who the strange man was who wanted to overturn Chen Ji's case, and he didn't know what his intentions were.

The official ticket of one hundred taels there was enough for him to cleverly give up all curiosity. In recent years, silver in Liaozhou was expensive and money was cheap. If he took this official ticket to the bank, he could exchange it for one hundred and forty-fifty, minus the cost of fire.

All in all, it was enough for Han Sanxi to live a comfortable life for many years. Besides, there was also Han Erfu's inheritance. As long as the case was successfully reversed, he would definitely be able to keep it and it would not be used as compensation. After all, it was impossible for our brothers Erfu to order it with their own hands.

Isn’t it the business that I handle for my boss?

Seeing that the petition was finally written, Han Sanxi gave the private school teacher a handful of money in a rare act of arrogance. After putting the petition in his pocket, he set off for the Yamen of the Prefecture in Beicheng. As the grievance drums sounded outside the gate of the Prefecture, not long after, a man with a hunched back was heard.

The gloomy old man also appeared in the depths of a mansion in the North City with red and red inscriptions and engraved scripts.

In the inner courtyard of the mansion, which is filled with plum blossoms like a sycamore garden, Yan Bului is holding a beautiful woman in his arms, drinking wine and admiring the plum blossoms. Although it is windy and snowy, his interest is getting stronger. This is his preference, and it is also an elegance exclusive to nobles.

.Only a nobleman like him can afford to wear fox furs worth thousands of gold, drink mellow and delicate wine, and have charming beauties to warm his hands at any time with their warm and plump breasts, so that he can ignore the weather that drips with water and turn to ice, and concentrate on admiring those beautiful things.

Plum blossoms bloom together with the falling snow.

It needs to be cold to appreciate plum blossoms. The colder they are, the more beautiful they are, and the colder they are, the more fragrant they are.

It is said that the same is true for knives.

Liaozhou has been famous for two things since ancient times, one is plum and the other is sword.

There are many plum blossoms in Liaozhou and many knives, but most of them are those iron-boned men who stand proudly in the frost and snow like cold plums. Unfortunately, such people are often difficult to control, and they are not willing to be driven by fame and fortune, so Yan Bului has always only

Appreciating plum blossoms, but not appreciating those who are more proud than Han Mei. However, there are so many such people that Yan Bului wants to bury them all in the ground, just like when he personally planted thousands of plums in Qishan Yuan.

Like a tree.

Very few people know that the young Marquis of the Yan family, known as "Danddy", is actually a man who can endure hardships and has perseverance.

"Master Sun, Wu Yang needs to see you for something."

Just when Yan Bului was drunkenly burying his face in the beauty's arms, an old but not weak voice suddenly sounded outside the moon gate of the courtyard. Such a disturbing interruption is enough to arouse the anger of any man, but Yan Bului

He didn't take it seriously at all, but pushed away the beauty who had already been attracted by him, and looked at Yuemen with a smile.

"Old guy, you really know how to choose the right time!"

As Yan Bului's words fell, an old man walked into the courtyard and stood in front of him. The old man's name was Wu Yang, and Yan Wu Yang was a son of the Yan family. He had served Yan Rong personally since he was a child, and was with the latter.

They are called masters and servants, but in fact they are brothers and sisters.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?" Yan Bului asked.

"I just received the news that someone has jumped to the state capital to overturn the case of the accidental fire at Chenji in Xianningfang." Yan Wuyang replied.

"Who?"

"This person's name is Han Sanxi, and he is the younger brother of Chenji shopkeeper Han Erfu. However, the two had turned against each other due to the family separation and had long since severed contact with each other."

"So?" Yan Bului's eyes flashed, but he couldn't tell what he was thinking.

"The old slave thought that Han Sanxi must have been instigated by someone else."

"Why doesn't he covet his deceased brother's family property?" Yan Burui asked with a smile, "You have to know that since becoming the shopkeeper of Chenji, Han Erfu has been able to receive thousands of bonuses every year. Such a fortune is enough to teach a lot.

He broke his head, not to mention that now only his wife and daughter are left in Han Erfu's family, just like fish and meat on the table, ready to be slaughtered."

"The case of Chen Ji was closed in Liao County yesterday. Han Sanxi is just a gangster in the market and is determined to overturn the case."

"Even if it's as you said, so what?" Yan Burui smiled disapprovingly.

"Master Sun, why do you ask questions knowingly?" Yan Wuyang shook his head gently, "Exactly why the fire started in Chen Ji is unknown to outsiders, but this old slave knows it very well. As soon as Lord Li of Liao County put out the fire, someone immediately poured it on secretly

Oil, it is clear that he wants to burn a hole in the sky of Liaozhou, which is really despicable! I dare to ask Master Sun, do you really not know the pros and cons?"

"Old man, what do you mean by this?" Yan Bului's eyes turned cold.

"If you don't want others to know, you have to do nothing yourself. The prisoner robbery case is of great importance, so you must not make any mistakes!" Yan Wuyang's expression remained calm, but his words were extremely rude.

"Yan Wuyang, you old guy is getting more and more presumptuous, and you dare to speak rudely to me." Yan Burui was not angry when he heard this, but smiled leisurely and said: "First, you are overthinking, and things are not right at all.

I let people do it, and even if I had this intention, I would never be stupid enough to do it in Liaozhou; secondly, it doesn't matter how important the case is? My Yan family helped catch the criminal, and Gongsun Feihong himself can't see it.

What does living have to do with my Yan family? My Yan family only has credit for this matter and has no fault. The court will swing the board eight hundred times, but it can't hit my Yan family's head. Beauty, what do you think?"

At this point, Yan Bului took the beauty next to him into his arms and played with her, making the beauty giggle. Then he said: "Oh, by the way, there are also those crossbows - old thing, I know you

What are you thinking about? Prick up your ears and listen carefully. Don't say that the thing is not from Chen Ji. Even if it is, it's just buying and selling. There are many people doing this business in Liaozhou. That old bastard Zhou Quan can't do it.

Just trying to show off, do you think he really dares to come and lift this cover? Okay, I still have things to do, so you can go." After that, Yan Bului waved his hand impatiently and buried his face in the beauty again.

Chest.

"Master Sun, please forgive me for having the guts to talk too much and ask again, are those crossbows really none of your business?"

"You dare to doubt me?" Yan Bului suddenly raised his head and stared into Yan Wuyang's eyes and asked.

"I took out dozens of finely crafted crossbows in one breath. As far as the old slave knows, there are not many people in Liaozhou who have this ability." Although Yan Bului's eyes were flashing with sharp light at this moment, Yan Wuyang

Don’t avoid it, but look at it calmly.

"Hey--" The two faced each other for a moment, and Yan Burui suddenly shook his head and sneered, "Old Wu Yang, Old Wu Yang, they all say that people become wiser with age, and you, an old guy, may have already turned into a monster by your age, how could you do that?

Don’t you make some plans for yourself?”

"Master Sun, I am stupid and can't understand what you are talking about." Yan Wuyang remained expressionless.

"Quan thinks you really don't understand." Yan Burui let go of the beauty again, stood up and walked to stand in front of Yan Wuyang, "I am also your Young Master Sun, why can't you be polite to me? Are you afraid to tell the truth?

You, the seven major, nine minor, and sixteenth battalions in the army, I have now firmly won half of them, especially the four major battalions of Shanshan, Duhai, Shesheng, and Changshui. Even the certificate of surrender has been handed over to me! Listen!

Do you understand? Old man, if you are willing to use me, I will protect the wealth of your descendants in the future."

"This old slave will only be loyal to the Marquis in this life. Please respect yourself, Master Sun."

"Are you really not afraid that I will kill you?" Yan Bului suddenly narrowed his eyes.

"The old slave has been buried up to his neck in loess." Yan Wuyang replied disapprovingly.
