Yesterday, I received a letter from my eldest brother, Zhang Shun, sent back to Xiangkou. It was quite long and thick in my hand. It was not about expressing my longing, but about what he had done since arriving in Xiangkou during this period.
Zhang Yan has been informed of the current business situation in detail.
Just as Zhang Yan had imagined, the business of Zhang Ji Woodware Shop in Xiangkou was going very smoothly. Especially when Zhang Deng opened his business, there was a plaque saying "Business is booming" given by Commander Shi Xuan of the Eastern Army, which was most eye-catching, attracting everyone who came and went.
I was speechless.
Fortunately, I had prepared enough goods before, otherwise the large number of orders that opened at Xiangkou would have froze the business. Now that the biggest purchasing trend has passed, I only need to continue to replenish the goods. From now on, Zhangjia Woodware Shop will
It took root in Xiangkou.
However, Zhang Shun had other ideas about buying a house in Xiangkou. He originally planned to buy a decent house to live in and support the facade. But recently, there was a notice in Xiangkou saying that a batch of illegal properties would be sold in the near future.
There were several very nice houses. He was going to wait and see if he could buy them.
Zhang Shun's letter was read three times by Zhang Huiyuan, and then put away by Wang Lanping. Wang Lanping had always been concerned about her eldest son's wandering life away from home and his broken body. Now that he received the letter from home, he felt relieved. But Zhang Huiyuan still let Zhang Shun read it.
When replying to the letter, she added her instructions, including "You two should work harder and add more people to the family as soon as possible".
Wang Lanping recited Zhang Yan and Zhang Huiyuan again, saying that they were not young anymore and could not only think about themselves but also about starting a family. Zhang Huiyuan was so embarrassed that she turned around and went back to her room. Zhang Yan, on the other hand, prepared Wang Lanping with a playful smile.
The thought of finding someone to match him was suppressed again.
"Humph! I see you're not in a hurry now. I'll wait until you are in a hurry later!" Wang Lanping shook her head, as if she had seen the day when her second son would also become a bachelor. Then she, the mother, would not be the one to do it.
get together?
"By the way, mother, you should take this pill now to rest your mind." Zhang Yan took out a porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it to Wang Lanping with a smile.
Wang Lanping was no stranger to elixirs, and knew that it was a great skill that Erzi learned from the old gentleman. Even Master Zhou, the city guard of Langyuan City, asked for this skill. But when she poured it out, she found that this elixir was not what she had seen before.
The kind I've had before. But it still smells very good, and I have the instinct to want to swallow it.
"Yan'er, isn't this the bone-strengthening pill? It looks so beautiful!" Wang Lanping curiously poured out the pill and looked at it in the palm of her hand, and was fascinated by the fluorescence flowing on it.
"Mom, this is not a bone-strengthening pill, it is just a general mind-restoring pill. Didn't you often say that you can't sleep well before? You should be much better after taking this pill." Zhang Yan did not tell Wang Lanping that this pill could help.
The Biqing Dan that increases life span by ten years. Anyway, Wang Lanping doesn’t know much about elixirs at all, so let’s not talk about it. After taking this Biqing Dan, Wang Lanping herself has no serious diseases, so in the future, as long as she pays attention to the maintenance, she will increase her longevity by ten years.
Longevity will fall steadily on her head.
"Is this thing good at resting your mind? Is it expensive? Otherwise, forget it." Wang Lanping felt that she was not in a serious condition, but sometimes she couldn't sleep well and often woke up. There was no need to waste a pill on her second son.
But Zhang Yan shook his head and insisted that Wang Lanping take it. In the end, he couldn't push it away, so Wang Lanping swallowed the green pill in front of Zhang Yan.
"Wow! I feel warm all over after eating it! And I feel like sleeping." Wang Lanping felt that the elixir melted in her mouth, and then her whole body felt slightly warm from the inside out, and then she felt a long-lost drowsiness. She hurriedly went
After washing, I went back to the house to rest. I went to bed half an hour earlier than usual.
This is normal. Wang Lanping is not a monk or even a warrior, and she is also old. Although the effect of Biqing Dan is mild, it cannot be absorbed casually. Especially for the mysterious changes in soul and life span, these
For Wang Lanping, it takes a long time to perform. She feels that lethargy is a reaction from the soul. It will be better in a few days.
The Biqing Pill that Wang Lanping took was the second one that Zhang Yancai had refined. He had eaten the first one before, and this one was given to his mother. After that, he did not plan to refine the Biqing Pill again. The younger sister and her eldest brother and sister-in-law
Now that I am rich, it is not time to use such things.
What Zhang Yan needed to refine next was Pei Yuan Dan. He even planned out the screening range for some of the medicinal materials. He could start preparations as soon as the jade orchids from Beiwu arrived.
On the other side, also in Langyuan City, the Wu Mansion, unlike the Zhang family, where everything was going smoothly, was in a difficult situation. Yang Jie, the official of Zuojun, Beijiang County, felt that his beard was almost pulled out by himself. When he came
Before arriving in Langyuan City, he never imagined that things would develop to this point.
Wu Yuan died inexplicably, and the mess left behind involved a group of assassins who are probably still lurking. These assassins can listen to Wu Yuan or others. If they are not eliminated, they will be nailed to Nanyuan Kingdom.
A serious problem, and it will also make it difficult to implement many of the serious crimes Wu Yuan committed, let alone solve them. This undoubtedly poses a huge difficulty for Yang Jie, because he has no clue at all until now.
Even after all, since Wu Yuan's death, things in Langyuan City have gradually begun to fall out of Yang Jie's plan.
What Yang Jie didn't expect now was that the people he thought would come to take over the case of Wu Yuan raising assassins didn't come. Instead, some people came wearing red robes with waist tags that read "Nanyuan Special Case."
"Division" person.
Yang Jie was confused. As the Langguan of Zuojun in Beijiang County, he naturally knew what these people from the Nanyuan Special Case Division meant, but he never thought that he would recruit them.
Isn't this a local case? Even if the case is not handled well, it shouldn't be taken over by someone from the Nanyuan Special Case Division, right? Didn't the county magistrate's office transfer manpower from another Yamen to take over?
"Master Shen, can an assassin's case also disturb the Special Cases Division? There must be a reason for me to hand over the case, right?"
"Mr. Yang, with your status, you don't need me to introduce the powers of our Special Case Division, right? We never need to give reasons for the cases we take over. Don't talk about you, Mr. Yang, even the county governor, Mr. Xiao, is not qualified.
.”
This sentence left Yang Jie speechless for a long time. His mind was racing, thinking about what had provoked these guys.
The so-called special case division has a rotating duty in every county magistrate's office. They do not obey the orders of the county magistrate's office, and there are no specific details of responsibilities. However, they will check the official reports and information collected from various places in the county magistrate's office. Once these messages are obtained,
If they find something worthy of their attention, they will take action. From the county magistrate's office to the local garrison, they need to cooperate with them to the maximum extent.
