Chickens perched on the ridge. The sun is setting.

The reason why Zhan Yinian hasn't come until now is naturally because he was stopped by others.

He was stopped by a group of masked men dressed in black.

After all, if you want to go to Lijia Town to live in Jiang Ning, you can't do it with your official hat alone, after all, investigating the case is the responsibility and authority of the county magistrate, and even the officials have no right to interfere, not to mention that this is a homicide case, he Zhan Yinian is an official in charge of water affairs, and it is not so easy to overstep his responsibilities.

Not to mention anything else, the group of people under Jiang Ning will definitely not listen to him.

Therefore, it is absolutely impossible not to have enough men to suppress the field, Zhan Yinian asked himself to be smart enough, of course he would not make such a low-level mistake, before coming to Long'an, he had already brought enough people, in order to overpower Jiang Ning, the head snake of Jiang Ning, with the strength at hand of the cross-river dragon.

It's a pity that this time, he can no longer do the mental calculation and unintentional when he was in the ministry. Yimo leaked his existence, and Jiang Ning had been on guard early on.

These masked men, both in number and strength, were superior to those he brought, and they blocked the way, and they did not kill anyone, but only knocked down those men of Zhan Shinian one by one, and surrounded him alone in the middle, not allowing him to go forward, nor to turn back.

Naturally, those servants under Jiang Ning did not have such strength, but he was rich.

As long as you have money, there is nothing you can't buy in the Hotaru market.

This is true of the people who defeated Yimo before, and the same is true of the people who blocked Zhan Shinian's way at this time.

Han Yi never revealed the existence of Firefly City to Jiang Ning, and Jiang Ning never asked, not because he needed Han He, so he chose to turn a blind eye, but because he knew about the existence of Firefly City early on.

Where there is light, there is darkness, and as bright as the light is, the darkness is as deep as it is.

Sometimes, even someone like him who stands in the light needs to use the power of darkness.

At this moment, there are people in the city who are sitting in the store counting the money, Jiang Ning's income for many months, but it has all entered his pocket, it is really not a small amount, just to stop people, give so much money, it is no wonder that the person knows that he is a county order, but he also took this business, it is really the other party's kindness!

The people who came to Li's house to watch the play changed batch after batch, some of them came back after going home for dinner, and the expected Zhan Shi Nian still did not arrive, and now, Li Quanzhang finally believed Jiang Ning's words, Zhan Shi Nian may really find a woman who is no less beautiful than his daughter, and he will no longer care about their life or death.

Although it was a decision, he had no choice, Li Quanzhang wanted to take all the blame as soon as he opened his mouth, and only in this way could he save his daughter's life.

Jiang Ning still didn't give up, and said, "Didn't you ask me what Li Ningzhu's motives were?" I have a story right now, and I want to tell you first!"

Han Hao was eager to try: "My lord, you have been talking for so long, are you thirsty or not, do you need to rest for a while and drink saliva?"

Jiang Ning rolled his eyes, where is this bastard worried that he is thirsty, it is obvious that he saw Jiang Ning out of the limelight, and he also wanted to get some light, after all, last year, this Long'an County Government was the laughing stock of others, it was rare to solve a big case this time, and he naturally wanted to raise his eyebrows and exhale once.

"Okay," Jiang Ning said: "This county is indeed a little dry-mouthed, then it's up to you!"

"Lord Xie!" Han Yi bowed respectfully to Jiang Ning.

When no one is around, this guy has never been in front of Jiang Ning, and he always looks cynical, but whenever he is in front of people, he always shows enough respect for Jiang Ning and gives him enough face, and these little things are also the reasons why Jiang Ning is closest to Han Yin.

has brains, understands etiquette, and divides occasions, such subordinates, regardless of whether they are clean or corrupt, will like it.

Han Yi deliberately coughed twice to clear his throat, which attracted the attention of the onlookers by the way, and when most of his eyes were focused on him, he opened his mouth and said, "There should be applause here!"

The onlookers smiled, as the head catcher of Long'an County, Han Yi was very likable and down-to-earth, and his reputation was much better than Jiang Ning's.

"In this world, there are not many things that can make women who are like sisters turn against their eyes, most of the time, it's that same thing, everyone says, what is that?"

"Man!"

"Naturally, it's a man!"

There were loud laughs below, and countless people enthusiastically answered, but the result was nothing more than the word 'man'.

Han Yi just asked so lightly, and everyone seemed to understand it immediately.

"Hey!" Han Hao raised his forehead and sighed, "You are all so smart, it seems that there is nothing to tell in this story!"

"Keep talking, going on!"

There was another burst of laughter from the crowd.

"Everyone must have doubts, this Li family's young lady Li Ningzhu is like a flower and jade, and the appearance of a falling goose and a sinking fish, how can there be a man who values her maid instead of her?" Han He said: "Actually, this question is also very simple. Wait until I tell the story in detail!"

"Once upon a time, there was a shipwright who caught up with the official of the Ministry of Water, and I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup he poured into the official, and the man promised to marry the two children. ”

With the help of that big official as a protector, he began to do some shady transportation business, and since then he has made a fortune and has become one of the best in the local area. ”

"His girl is also angry, and the older she gets, the more beautiful she becomes. In order to curry favor with the big official, in addition to giving some gold and silver gifts from time to time, the ship merchant often took his own girl to the big official's mansion to visit the door, in order to naturally cultivate a relationship with the son of the big official. ”

"For more than ten years, things have been going very smoothly, the daughter and the son of the big official family were playmates when they were young, and they have a marriage contract, and they have some hazy feelings between each other since they were children, and as they get older, this relationship becomes clearer and clearer. It's just that after all, that girl is a young lady from a big family, and she can be regarded as a lady no matter how she says, so it is not good to go out too often, so it is inevitable that someone will be the flirtatious wild goose from the middle. ”

"This girl's personal girl is of course the best candidate. First, every time the girl came to the official's house to play with the young master, this maid also followed, and they were more familiar with each other, so it was convenient to say anything directly. ”

"It's a pity that this shipmer's old man has first-class skills, but he forgot to tell his daughter that he can't easily move the truth!"

"The son of the big official family is suave, with a family history, and he is also quite talented, he likes the young lady of the boat merchant, but the literati are amorous, but he is not a dedicated person, the maid in his own mansion does not know how much he has moved, after a long time, even the young man with the boat merchant, the maid with a budding spring heart has also moved his true feelings!"

"These, it doesn't matter. Han Yi said: "But the sky is stormy, blessings and disasters are unpredictable, the big official died young, and the son almost scattered all the wealth in his family in order to save his life, and became an ordinary person overnight." ”

Han Yi sighed with empathy and said: "The life of the poor is not easy, not to mention that overnight, from a noble son surrounded by mountains and seas, surrounded by warblers and swallows, to a poor man with nothing. In the days of a few years, he tasted the heat and coldness of the world, and the women who had been happy before abandoned him as if he were walking, and the marriage date of the merchant on the same ship had arrived, but it was put on hold indefinitely, during which the girl who had a marriage contract with him never appeared again from beginning to end, which made him completely recognize the world, and he also died of heart for the girl. After all, by now, he has already climbed high, and if he wants to force it, it is just a humiliation. ”

In these depressed, hesitant and helpless years, only the young lady's personal maid would come over from time to time to bring him some food and take care of his broken heart. ”

"After a long time, he gradually forgot about the young lady of the ship, but put his heart on the maid's body, in this world, only she is really good to him!"

This is how the people should be.

Li Quanzhang, who was tied to the pillar and had not eaten or drunk for a day, sneered: "The food and clothes sent by Xiaoman are all the meaning of condensation, how can he ......?"

"Of course, these are Li Ningzhu's meanings," Han Hao interrupted: "Her girl Xiaoman didn't get in the way. The same things, every sentence of the heartfelt words, Xiaoman will send them according to them, but she will also take this opportunity from time to time to give the boy some of her own thoughts, for example, a pair of shoes ordered by the young lady, but she made them herself, for example, the pastries and food that the young lady gave to Wei Sheng, but she made them with her own hands, these tactful intentions, Li Ningzhu's upper lips touched the lower lips and said, but it was Xiaoman's hands, stitches and threads, bit by bit. ”

"When the family is still wealthy, prosperity covers the eyes, these insignificant details, Wei Sheng is categorically impossible to find, but now his family is surrounded by walls, the door is cold, that smart head, there is time to think about everything, including who the person he really likes is!"

"Wei Sheng's pair of cloth shoes," Han Hao said: "There is a small and beautiful 'bead' word embroidered outside, but Li Ningzhu doesn't know, and no one knows, inside the shoes, where everyone can't see, there is a big full moon embroidered, if I remember well, the Li family has twenty-four solar terms, but Xiaoman's name is Li Manyue!"

As soon as Han Yan beckoned, Xu Yan, who had already prepared, took out the pair of cloth shoes that had already found someone to separate the upper from the sole.

Everyone saw that the top of the foot of the cloth shoe was leaning in and in, almost next to the tip of the toe, and a full moon hung high!

Han Yi sighed abruptly: "There is true love in the world, and there is a full moon in the shoes!"

Jiang Ning said with a smile: "When I took the shoes back, I felt as if they had been disassembled, but they were sewn up later, and now that I think about it, that awl was not brought to Wei's house because I was afraid that the shoes would not fit, but Xiaoman brought it to Wei Sheng." ”
