Section 38: Exploring the Xiao Family at Night

When Ye Tan woke up, the sunshine had long disappeared. Although the weather was a bit hot, he still slept well. When he got up, he saw Zhang Yi sorting out books, and Zhang Yu was doing something in the yard with a stick.

.

After greeting the two of them, Ye Tan went to cook.

Dinner was still the lunch dish, but there were very few vegetarian dishes. After Ye Tan ate some, he put down his bowls and chopsticks, looked at Zhang Yi and said, "You have to eat more and take good care of yourself before you can go out to make money to support your family, and then you will have a good body."

Now that you are rich, you can become an official in the future so that you can avoid corruption. In addition, if you are in good health, you don’t have to worry about your wife Hongxing cheating on you. However, that sister Liang Jing is not an ordinary shrewd person. You will suffer a lot in the future.

oh."

Listening to Ye Tan teasing herself, and remembering the look in Ye Tan's eyes in the kitchen at noon, she couldn't help but shudder, and whispered, "Don't worry, I can definitely do it. I'm very good at reading, and I can definitely do the work as well."

Zhang Yu didn't speak, just lowered his head to eat. He didn't know what to say, accusing his son of not doing a proper job and having to support the family while studying. Unfortunately, how could he say it out loud?

After putting down the rice bowl, it was already dark. Maybe because of the hot weather, the insects were chirping loudly. You could hear them even if you were hiding in the house. Therefore, Ye Tan told Zhang Yu that he was going to sleep.

Just went out.

Although he didn't understand why he went out instead of sleeping in the house, Zhang Yu didn't want to ask, but Zhang Yi had some ideas. In the end, he didn't say anything because during the meal, Ye Tan said that someone would come in a few days.

Picking up his own, Zhang Yi is still looking forward to his future life. He has been in the same size for more than ten years. No one may believe it. In these years, he has not been to the market once. In Ye Tan's opinion

, he did not become a fool, it is really God’s blessing.

Zhangjiacun is not here either, so it is very easy to find the Xiao family.

In a place, there will always be bullies. Because there are such people, their houses are always bigger, there are always more people, there are more dirty things, there are more delicious things, and they are respected by others.

a bit more.

The Xiao family is a special existence in Zhangjia Village. First of all, his surname is not Zhang, which is treacherous to the people in the village. Secondly, this person is not the village chief but has some abilities of the village chief. Thirdly, he has

Money has power and temper. In the end, almost all the fields in Zhangjiacun now belong to his family.

The Xiao family is quite prosperous, because they have money and food. Therefore, Xiao Changtian, the master of the Xiao family, is only in his fifties this year. He is tall and has shining eyes. But if there is something strange about it, this

People have an alien flavor.

The Xiao family seems to have almost no business except for the land, which is also very strange.

When Ye Tan arrived at the door of their house, he saw many people coming in and out of their house. Although it was dark, there were enough oil lamps.

He is really a rich man, although he is a bit prodigal.

Ye Tan walked in while the door was not paying attention. The place was really big, but it was full of exotic customs. Many tall buildings were very simple. There was no feeling of water town, seclusion and flowers and plants of the Central Plains people.

.

There are a lot of huge rocks here, including the heads and bones of some wild beasts. Maybe the people in the village are used to it, so they don't make a fuss.

Ye Tan looked around and found that the defense here was good. Although it was just a farmyard, he actually found no less than two people guarding him in twelve places. They seemed to be servants, but the things in their waists did not look like

oh.

What I'm afraid of is that these people's hairstyles, although they have been tied up to look like Han people, look awkward. It's like someone deliberately changed the behavior of these people. Anyway, it's very uncomfortable, and they look a bit like Manchus and become Han people.

a feeling of.

At the very back of the yard, there is a tree. It is very big. But this is not the point. The point is that there are some strips of cloth hanging on the tree. The colors are bright, a bit like those of certain ethnic groups you see when you travel in modern times.

thing.

Ye Tan smiled. He had been looking for opportunities to do certain things, but unexpectedly, he discovered these things.

In the innermost part of the yard, there were several people standing there, talking about the same thing: this year there is a drought, can the rent be reduced?

The person sitting inside is Xiao Yuzu, the eldest son of the Xiao family. He has a good name and is tall, but he has a bad temper. "What does the lack of water have to do with our family? This year's rent cannot be reduced at all. Otherwise, don't blame me."

Fall out."

Several people looked at each other, could only bow their heads and salute, and then left. However, they were anxious when they came, and walked awkwardly when they returned. It was clear at a glance that there was no rush.

"Who are you? Why are you covering your face?" Xiao Yuzu was about to drink water when he looked up and saw a man covering his face standing at the door looking at him.

"I heard that Xiao is the surname of a nobleman, right?" Ye Tan's words made Xiao Yuzu drop the bowl in his hand to the ground. Then he looked at the person in front of him in disbelief and said in a panic, "What did you say?"

"Although the pronunciation is the same, your habits are different." Ye Tan continued to explain.

"Yeah, okay then, can you swear an oath with your gods?" Ye Tan demanded rudely. At the same time, he felt four people coming around, all holding knives in their hands.

"Boy, I don't know which family you are from, but you dare to come to my house and act wild without even looking at where this place is? Our family has settled here for 30 years, and we didn't expect that someone would come here today to cause trouble." Xiao Yuzu saw it.

When the four people were in place, they waved their hands. Someone would naturally drive away the guests who wanted to come. At this time, the Xiao family was prohibited from entering or exiting.

"Really? They are indeed descendants of the Xiao family, but I remember that they are all in Chang'an. I didn't expect that there is another one here. I just don't know whether they are loyal ministers of the country or remnants of the previous dynasty?" Ye Tan thought about this carefully.

The Xiao family might be the descendants of the family that was destroyed in the Sui Dynasty, but many of these people should be officials in the court or comfortable in Jiangnan. Why does this happen?

"Those people are all traitors, they are all traitors." I don't know how long this guy has been brainwashed by his father, and he is a little nervous when he speaks. However, at first glance, this guy is a man with great ambition and talent, because he only has a little real estate.

, what future does it have, but Ye Tan remembers that in later generations, a Liao Kingdom appeared, and there was a queen. I don’t remember her name. Is it also the same surname?

"So, you just colluded with outsiders?" Ye Tan looked at the full moon scimitar in his hand behind him, ducked sideways, and asked.

"Haha, everyone who betrays deserves to die, so you can't go out today." Xiao Yuzu's expression is a bit like Murong Fu who failed to regain his country. It seems that this small place has really suppressed him for too long.

"Really?" Ye Tan suddenly stopped, and a machete was about to fall on the top of his head. I don't know if it was Xiao Yuzu who liked eating it or something else. Anyway, his expression immediately changed from an honest person to one like
