It was night, in the Zhao family's deep residence, and the spacious square was full of people and brightly lit.
Zhao Yuan of Chuzhou was a man who loved charity and regarded money as dirt. There were many people in the rivers and lakes of Chuzhou who had received his favor.
Member Zhao had a wide circle of friends. Not only did he often invite these people to banquets, but if any good man traveled around the world without financial support, he would also generously donate his money without ever mentioning the word "repay".
In the eyes of these people in the world, this is naturally a manifestation of Bo Yuntian's righteousness, and many people consider him a friend in their hearts.
Strange to say, although a lot of money is spent every day, the Zhao family's business is getting better and bigger. People who don't know about it will probably lament that Mr. Zhao is good at doing business outside, but most people who really know the inside story
He sighed secretly, disdainful of his dirty tricks behind his back.
At this time, in the depths of the Zhao family's residence, a dozen or so men from all walks of life were chatting and laughing loudly and drinking freely. From time to time, servants of the Zhao family would bring good wine and food for them to eat and drink.
Surrounded by everyone was a man with a goatee and a shrewd face.
The man has a pair of triangular eyes, wears a military uniform, and does not have an outstanding appearance. Although I dare not speak of the entire Chuzhou area, in Xiangcheng, whether it is a person in the Jianghu or a government official, who knows that this is
"Good almsgiver" Zhao Yuanwai?
"Brother Zhao, it's my brother's fault this time. I failed to do a good job for my brother. I'll punish myself. I hope my brother won't blame me." It was a cold night, but there was a man wearing only a short shirt and his arms.
His muscles flexed, he cupped his hands towards Mr. Zhao, picked up the bowl of wine in front of him and drank it all in one gulp.
Zhao Yuanwai showed a guilty look on his face and said: "Brother Qin, stop talking. It's my brother's fault for this matter. I didn't know that the woman was so powerful. Even Zhu Butcher and the others were all in trouble. If I had known that she would be so difficult."
Deal with it, I will never let my brothers put themselves in danger!"
Without being pretentious, he filled the wine bowl in front of him, held it up and looked at everyone and said: "With this bowl of wine, I apologize to my brothers. I also ask my brothers to promise me not to cause trouble for that woman again. If anything happens to you,
What's wrong, brother, I feel uneasy!"
Everyone immediately raised their bowls to express their feelings and would not risk their lives again. However, if the woman came to bully him, they would not stand idly by and would definitely help their brother.
Officer Zhao looked embarrassed on the outside, but he finally felt relieved.
After all, this is the border of Chuzhou. The dragon has to coil up when it comes, and the tiger has to lie down when it comes. Even if that woman is powerful, how can she be the enemy of all the heroes in Chuzhou?

Wu Er followed Li Yi back home and talked in the room for a long time before leaving.
When he left, he still had a puzzled look on his face. The doubt came from what the county captain had just told him. However, it was just a piece of cake. Since he couldn't think of the county captain's intention, he didn't think about it anymore. He just had to do it...
"Senior Han, member Zhao..." Li Yi was still mumbling these two names when he walked out of the room.
I finally have some time these days to complain and take revenge...
Xiaohuan was washing clothes in the yard, which Li Yi had only changed in the morning.
Although the weather today is good, the water temperature is extremely low. The little maid breathed into her hands after a few blows. When Li Yi came closer, he saw that both of her hands were blue from the cold.
"Don't wash it, don't wash it. Why don't you add some hot water before washing it?" Li Yi covered her hand distressedly. Li Yi, whose hands were cold, couldn't bear it.
"Uncle, it's okay. I'll wash it in a moment." Her little hand was held by her uncle, and she immediately stopped feeling cold. The little maid felt happy, but her face turned red.
Li Yi stretched out his hand and tapped her on the head and said, "Listen to my uncle and go back to the house to warm yourself up. It won't be good if you get frostbite."
Li Yi suffered from chilblains when he was a child. He suffered from it every year. It hurt and itched. His hands were swollen like steamed buns. He had to be fed spoon by spoon by his mother to eat. Later, he met an old Chinese doctor who gave him a folk prescription. From then on,
I have never done it again, but I don’t want to relive that feeling again in my life.
He drove Xiaohuan inside to warm himself by the fire. If his slender, white hands were covered in frostbite, it would be unbearable just thinking about it.
He stretched out his hand to test the temperature of the water in the basin. He couldn't help but shiver and immediately put his hand back.
Thinking about Xiaohuan washing clothes at this water temperature every day, I felt even more distressed.
The silly girl couldn't even bear to use hot water, and she didn't know how she survived the previous winter.
I endured the cold water and put on my clothes. I thought that the temperature had dropped a lot in the past few days, and it was still a bit cold even when I covered myself with two quilts at night. It was time to think of ways to improve my living environment.
After kneading the clothes and rinsing them, my hands were extremely cold. After a while, I took them out of the water, wrung them out, and hung them to dry in the yard.
Looking out through the courtyard door, Lao Fang and a few men were squatting under the tree, spitting and talking.
In the past few days, Lao Fang had complained to him more than once that his life was almost full of leisure, and it seemed that he had to find some work for him to satisfy his requirements.
Under a big tree not far from the door, Lao Fang was telling a few men about "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". When my uncle was telling this to the second young lady, he had also listened to a few passages and had nothing to do.
Showing off in front of a few men.
Of course, although he was spitting at the moment, the story had no beginning and no end, and the appeal was almost zero. If he didn't have nothing to do, no one would want to see him spitting here.
Lao Fang saw everyone's bored expressions, two of them had even dozed off, and he couldn't help but feel a little annoyed. It was the same story telling, why could my uncle do it, but not him?
Determined to compete with my uncle, the story immediately took a turn as soon as I rolled my eyes.
"The man heard a lot of sounds in the next room through the door, mixed with the sound of squirting water and the thin voice of a woman moaning. The sound gradually became stronger, and he heard the creaking of the bed, and there was a
The man's heavy voice..."
After this wonderful story was told, the crowd immediately went into a frenzy.
The two dozing people suddenly stopped dozing, and stretched their necks as if they had been given a shot of chicken blood, waiting for Lao Fang to continue. The other men were also not calm, and all their distracted attention was drawn back.
They were all men who didn't know a word of Chinese characters. They usually used dirty jokes and extremely vulgar language. After all, Lao Fang and Li Yi stayed in Goulan for a long time and learned a few tricks from the old storyteller. In an instant, these men were
Breathing became heavier.
The proud look on Lao Fang's face couldn't be concealed. The whole gang worked hard and used a little skill to seduce them like this. They are really country bumpkins who have never seen the world.
But he didn't stop talking and continued: "The man got excited and put his ear to the door. He only heard a "creak". Who knew that the door was not closed tightly, and was suddenly knocked open by the man. The man was startled and saw
In the house..."
Lao Fang stopped talking at this point. Several men were interested in hearing this, and their ears turned red. They hurriedly urged: "If you see what's going on in the house, tell me quickly!"
"I saw a man sitting on the bed in the room, and a woman on the ground was washing his feet, with quick movements and the sound of water splashing..." Lao Fang straightened his face, stood up and looked at the men standing behind him, with his hands wrapped around his hands.
His Li Yi smiled and said: "Uncle, why are you here?"
