"If you have something to say, why bother? This is..."
Zhao Guanren was sitting cross-legged in the living room of the hut, with four swords placed on his neck. Bian Yulei was wrapped in a robe and squatting by the door, not daring to raise his head, as ashamed as a child who had done something wrong.
"This is not your first time, how do you explain..."
Bian Xianglan came in angrily with someone else, but Zhao Guanren pursed his lips and said, "Liu Liu! Tell your eldest sister, what did I just tell you? Tell her to stop acting!"
"Sister! I guessed it..."
Bian Yulei waved aggrievedly, and when Bian Xianglan squatted over to hear it in surprise, she quickly waved her hand awkwardly and asked all the female swordsmen to go out.
"It seems that Mr. Zhang has a soft spot for his roommate sister, so much so that he is willing to commit suicide..."
Bian Xianglan sat down cross-legged and smiled and said: "My sister-in-law Bian Yulei is twenty-eight years old. She has a clean body and a clean family. She has been well-educated and gentle since she was a child. Although she is a little thin, she is still worthy of being an adult. You can ask me how much dowry you want."
open!"
"Bian Laosi! I really underestimated you..."
Zhao Guanren pointed at her and said: "I made the decision for you in the front, and you set a trap for me with the back. You really made a good calculation!"
"Brother-in-law! No need to say more, you and I know it well..."
Bian Xianglan chuckled and said: "The corpse was found in your house first. You went around in a big circle and finally came to my house. If it weren't for your handwriting, I wouldn't even believe it.
Only if you become my Bian family's son-in-law, can I trust you!"
"I can be your son-in-law, but you can just do it yourself..."
Zhao Guanren said contemptuously: "As long as you, Miss Bian, agree, I will come and marry you at dawn. You can give me whatever gift you want. Why bully your poor little sister? I am a Hu Ji, so you look down on her, why don't you take me?"
Are you serious?"
"You're talking nonsense!"
Bian Xianglan's face suddenly changed, and she said angrily: "Who doesn't know that I have loved her since I was a child? I want to give you the best, so that you don't have to be picky in my house. If I don't marry you, it's because I made a promise to you."
, I will get married when my little brother comes of age!"
"My mother!"
Zhao Guanren said disdainfully: "How old are you? When your brother comes of age, you won't be an old woman anymore. Who will marry a mother and go home? You can't find a good reason for lying!"
"Do you know who my husband's family is..."
Bian Xianglan said angrily: "My husband is the second son of Prince Duan. His Highness married me on the finger of my neck when I was young. Now he is underage, only thirteen. When he marries me five years later, I will only be twenty-eight."
, just marry him and serve him, why not?"
"You want someone to wipe your butt, and you still want to serve a man..."
Zhao Guanren waved his hand and said: "Since you have already agreed on a marriage of benefit, I won't talk to you anymore. I pretend I didn't see your little sister's body. Anyway, I didn't touch a finger on her!"
"If I don't marry you, don't even think about leaving..."
Bian Xianglan stood up suddenly and said: "Everyone knows that you have seen my little sister's body. How can she get married if you don't marry? Moreover, what you have caused is a disaster that will destroy our family. Even Prince Duan can't save our family. You can either
Our family will advance and retreat together, or I will chop you up right now, and the fish will die and the net will be destroyed!"
"Miss! The master is here..."
The fifth aunt suddenly shouted urgently outside the hospital. The faces of the Bian sisters all changed. They hurriedly ran out and knelt on the wooden platform to greet them. Soon they saw a little old man on crutches, standing among several children and concubines.
He walked in with support.
"Dad! Why are you here..."
Bian Xianglan knelt down in a panic. The little old man threw away his crutches and stepped onto the wooden platform. He tried to straighten his waist and looked at Zhao Guanren. He could see that the little old man was also a ruthless person. His eyes were quite sharp, but he was only in his fifties.
His head turned white and his complexion became sallow.
"Get up!"
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
The little old man stamped his feet coldly. After the Bian sisters slowly stood up, the little old man suddenly slapped Bian Xianglan over. Bian Xianglan, who was so good at martial arts, was so frightened that she cried and lay on the ground without daring to raise her head.
"You bastard! What do you think of my Bian family? Do you think I'm just a villager..."
Bian Yuanwai pointed at her and cursed angrily: "I have been in glory all my life and have never bowed my head to anyone. Even if Prince Duan asked me to pick him up, I just bowed to him. Now you actually blackmail a child with a yellow mouth and marry him?"
My precious daughter has completely disgraced my Bian family!"
"father!"
Bian Xianglan cried like rain: "Lan'er knows I was wrong, please don't get angry, because getting angry will hurt your body!"
"I haven't even finished my life yet, and I'm almost pissed to death by you..."
Mr. Bian scolded again: "I think you are too smart. You will panic over the smallest thing. I will leave it here today. Who dares to harm my Bian family? If I lose a son, I will definitely destroy his whole family. I will treat him as dozens of people."
Have I paid my due tribute to you in vain? Your Majesty will not kill me easily!"
"Fat sheep are meant to be slaughtered, not kept to enjoy their old age, Mr. Bian..."
Zhao Guanren came out and said with a smile: "The eldest lady in your family is too suspicious. I rescued her with good intentions, but she doubted me again and again. If you want me to marry Liuliu, you can just say it. Such a beautiful beauty, I, Zhang, can't ask for it. Why?"
Do you need to force me?"
Officer Bian said in a stern voice: "You can't marry my daughter if you want. Prince Duan and his family want to marry my Lan'er, so they need three matchmakers and six certificates, so lobby me hard!"
"That's right! I am not worthy at all..."
Zhao Guanren smiled again and said: "But there is a saying that I don't know if you have heard of it. If you ignore me now, I will make it impossible for you to reach high in the future. Remember! No matter which daughter you have, you can only do it for me when you come to my house again.
Concubine, come in through the back door with your dowry!"
"Don't bully others too much..."
Officer Bian stared at him with an angry face. Zhao Guanren walked straight out of the courtyard and said without looking back: "You are the ones who bullied others too much. Who do you think I am? Bian Laosi, please remember this.
I gave you the opportunity, but you didn't cherish it!"
"Give me……"
Officer Bian suddenly turned around and pointed at him, but in the end he could not shout out the next few words. He could only hear Zhao Guanren, who was walking further and further away, reading loudly: "The smoke cage is cold, the water is moon cage, the sand is caged, the night is at Lantai, near Bian's house. Business girl
I don’t know the hatred for the country’s subjugation, but I am still singing from across the river. The flowers in the garden!”
"Dad! They look down on us, merchant daughters, and wrote a poem to laugh at us..."
Bian Yulei shed tears sadly. Officer Bian beat his chest and shouted to his son: "You traitor! You traitor, your two sisters have suffered all the humiliation for you. Now I am also being mocked by this kid. You are going to make me mad to death."
Ah you!”
"Master! Being so angry can hurt your health. Let's calm down quickly..."
Mrs. Bian Liu hurriedly came up and helped him into the house, and said helplessly: "Xiaosi has no choice. This time the Xie family used a tactic to kill the entire family, murdering officials and colluding with the enemy. This is a serious crime of genocide. Zhang Tiansheng is like this
Crazy, there must be conclusive evidence!"
"father!"
Bian Xianglan ran in and closed the door. After whispering, she said: "Lan'er has already made arrangements. I'm just afraid that the little thief will disrupt the situation, so I took this step!"
"Lan'er! Why don't you understand..."
Bian Yuanwai said heartbrokenly: "Zhang Xiaothiie has made it clear that fat sheep are for slaughter, and the business is for whoever does not do it. This kind of lose-lose method plays into the hands of the court. Whoever dares to jump out to block the way will be punished."
Bury our two families together!"
"My daughter is stupid! Please let me know..."
Bian Xianglan lowered her head with a pale face. Officer Bian sighed again: "It's a bad time! I haven't been out of the mountain for a few years, but such a monster has appeared in the world. If I don't get rid of him, he will become a big trouble. For now, I can only kill someone with a borrowed knife."
Can cut the weeds and root them out!"

"Dig it up! Dig it out wherever there is water..."
Zhao Guanren stood on a courtyard wall and was doing surveillance. It was already noon the next day. He only took a brief nap in the early morning. Early in the morning, he asked the Yamen to mobilize civilian workers to dig out all the contaminated shafts and remove them.
Centralized sludge treatment.
"Everyone, line up, get the house deeds, and come to me to press your fingerprints and get the money..."
Yuniang and her two maids were sitting in the small courtyard. They bought all the damaged houses. House prices in Lantai County were low and labor was not worth much. You could buy a nice courtyard with only a dozen taels or a thousand.
Liang Neng bought most of the urban area.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhang! You are truly an upright official..."
The homeowners were all beaming with joy and gratitude. Zhao Guanren gave them an additional ten taels of silver subsidy on top of the original price. Although it was useless to buy such a shabby place, a few hundred taels could buy a good reputation. It was true.
What a bargain.
"Master! The eldest young lady is here..."
A fat girl ran over panting. Zhao Guanren said casually on the wall, come as soon as you come, but as soon as you thought about it, you were wrong, so you jumped down and asked: "Who is the eldest young lady?"
"It is said that she is the eldest young master's widow, Mrs. Zheng..."
The little fat girl pointed to the back and said: "Some of the villagers learned that you have become an official. They went to the village early in the morning to inform the eldest mistress. They just had a conversation with the old lady in the mansion and brought their aunt over to find you. They are here.
The ready-made clothing store at the back will buy you clothes!"
"Go and tell them that I am going out of the city to meet the prefect, and ask them to go back to the mansion and wait..."
After Zhao Guanren took a distant look, he quickly ran into the courtyard and called Yu Niang, asking: "Are you familiar with my eldest brother's widow Zheng? She just brought people into the city to find me, but I haven't been with her for a long time.
Come and go, where did she go before?"
"The eldest mistress is here, she has returned to her parents' home..."
Yuniang came close to him and said: "The old lady was still scolding me this morning, scolding Mrs. Zheng for not laying eggs and having no conscience. When the eldest young master was in his glory, his family was so shameless and disrespectful. As soon as the eldest young master and the second young master left, she also patted him.
When I returned to my parents’ home, I must have come here because I learned that the young master was an official!”
"Damn it! When I became an official, all my poor relatives came..."
Zhao Guanren cursed angrily. He expected that a poor relative would come to visit, but he didn't expect it to come so soon, which caught him off guard.
"There's nothing I can do! Although the young master's family doesn't have many relatives, there are always those who are shameless and try to get in touch with their relatives..."
Yu Niang spread her hands and was helpless. Zhao Guanren thought for a while and said: "Yu Niang! After you finish here, go back immediately and tell Mrs. Zheng not to recruit relatives in the house. It is a troubled time now, and my official position is temporary!"
"Hey! Lady Yu understands..."
Yuniang agreed and continued to hand out money. Just as a carriage stopped outside the courtyard, Song Zhizhu's fat head and big ears poked out of the small window and shouted: "Mr. Zhang! The prefect and his entourage are about to arrive.
, you can quickly follow me out of the city to greet me!"
"Coming!"
Zhao Guanren jumped onto the carriage from the wall with great agility. He opened the curtain and saw that Hu Xian Cheng was also there. He said hello familiarly and sat down. Song Chizhu lowered his voice and said: "There are many people here, everything is waiting for you."
I’ll talk to you after I leave the city!”
"smoke!"
Zhao Guanren took out a pack of special cigarettes and gave them to the two of them. When the carriage turned around and drove back, he opened the curtain and looked outside. The little fat girl was helping the two women carry things. The leading woman was nothing but
He is twenty-six or seventeen years old, above average height, but his appearance is sharp and mean.
'Nah! If you keep pretending like this, sooner or later you will have to betray someone...'
Zhao Guanren's brows furrowed into the Chinese character "Sichuan". Regardless of whether he could silence these people, as long as Song Chizhu and others went to the countryside for a brief investigation, they would immediately understand that he was bragging and that Zhang Tiansheng was a lazy waste.
