"This is Qingxinlan, this is Tequino...... By the way, there are also five old ginseng branches that are more than 500 years old...... "Wei Rushan took out the things he had prepared one by one for Xihe to see, and his expression was a little apprehensive, obviously afraid that Xihe would not be satisfied.
"Good." Xihe nodded, and was about to say something when there was a sudden commotion outside. Then came a sharp knock on the door:
"Big shopkeeper, no-"
Wei Rushan opened the door and saw that Zhang Ming, who was in charge of the accounts, was outside, his face was a little ugly, and he lowered his voice and reprimanded:
"Why are you so reckless? How can you ...... if you disturb the young master?"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted:
"Yo, I said who is so bold that he dares to take in even a felony in the imperial court, it turns out to be your Wei Da shopkeeper."
Wei Rushan raised his head and saw the person in front of him, his face was obviously a little ugly:
"What court repeat offender? What does Zhang Zhutou mean by this? β
Isn't it Zhang Erzhuang, the head catcher of Anyuan Mansion, who is standing in front of the door with his waist crossed?
It's no wonder that Wei Rushan is in a bad mood, it's really that this Zhang Erzhuang is not only a scoundrel and ruthless, but also a traitor and vicious, and he is also the most open-minded person who sees money, saying that he is light when he plucks his feathers, and he can bite off a bite of meat on the leg of a mosquito.
And this person is the best at drilling, although he is still not in the eyes of Liu Lianggong, the prefect of Anyuan, but he is Zhu Huaishen, one of the two most favored masters of the prefect, and he is quite able to stir up wind and rain in Anyuan Mansion.
Naturally, others were afraid of this Zhang Erzhuang, but Wei Rushan didn't pay attention to it-
Liu Lianggong's trustworthy master is not only Zhu Huaishen, but also a man named Wei Ruming, who is a cousin of Wei Rushan who does not come out of five suits. Wei Rushan is a discerning person, he doesn't give this cousin a lot of good things on weekdays, the relationship between the two families is very close, with Wei Ruming taking care of him, whether it is those officials or ruffians, he doesn't dare to come to the door to make trouble.
"Tsk, the shopkeeper of Wei is worthy of being the shopkeeper of Wei, and he really doesn't shed tears when he sees the coffin." Zhang Erzhuang sneered, "Let me ask you, did you personally pick up three outsiders to enter?" β
This Zhang Erzhuang is actually coming for the young master? Wei Rushan's expression became vigilant:
"I don't understand what Zhang Zhutou said, with the scale of our Rejuvenation Fang, there are more guest officers coming and going from the south to the north every day, how do you know who Zhang Zhutou is talking about?"
"Really?" Zhang Erzhuang smiled darkly, "You don't know, some people know." β
As he spoke, he pointed to the door that was still closed:
"The people inside still don't get out yet? Okay, grandpa shouted three times-"
Before the sentence was finished, the door opened from the inside with a "squeak", and Xihe walked out first, followed by Qingbi and Alain:
"This poor master, are you looking for you?"
"Young master-" Wei Rushan was startled, and hurriedly ran over to protect the person, "Why did you come out?" There are subordinates here, and the young master just needs to sit inside, and he doesn't have to worry about these complicated affairs. β
"Young master?" Zhang Erzhuang looked Xihe up and down, and a touch of greed flashed in his eyes-
Wei Rushan is already the richest man in Anyuan, this young man is actually his master, and he can't count the silver in the family?
I've made a lot of money today, and I can even make a big contribution!
is different from Zhang Dazhuang, who blindly fights with others and plays scoundrels, Zhang Erzhuang is quite scheming. Even on weekdays, he looks down on Zhang Dazhuang's actions, but the reason why he is so protective today is because there is another reason-
Today, it was Zhang Erzhuang and several of his subordinates who were in charge of patrolling the city, but in the process of patrolling, they obviously discovered a terrible fact, that is, Chu Liang, the confidant of the prefect's henchman and the magistrate, also led people to patrol the streets. Even the city was significantly more heavily guarded.
Chu Liang, who can be alarmed, came forward, and there are only two explanations, either there are big figures coming to Anyuan, or there are important criminals wanted by the imperial court who haunt here.
He was on an errand in the public mansion, and Zhang Erzhuang naturally knew that there were no court officials to inspect Anyuan these days, so there was only one explanation left.
If he was not sure who it was before, when he saw Chu Liang's entourage behind Xihe and the others from a distance, Zhang Erzhuang's heart finally fell in his stomach. Coupled with Zhang Dazhuang's incident, Zhang Erzhuang was even more overjoyed, and God really helped him.
Just used this as an excuse to tie up these people and return to the government, and there was no need to worry that Chu Liang would be jealous of himself for stealing merit from him, after all, he obviously didn't mean to do it, who knew that he had just arrested a few important criminals.
Not to mention the huge benefits beyond that-
Since he is the master of Wei Rushan, does it mean that he will have a large amount of silver in his account?
First implicate Wei Rushan, under the thunderous anger of the prefect, Wei Ruming will definitely be implicated. With the support of the master, the addition of officials to the knighthood is naturally just around the corner.
It's a triple win!
Thinking like this, he turned back to Zhang Dazhuang, who had already been lying on the stretcher, and said:
"Let's see, are they the ones who suddenly started the murder?"
"That's them!" Zhang Dazhuang recognized Xihe at a glance, he was already gritting his teeth, if he had to pretend to be seriously injured, he couldn't wait to pounce on him, beat people hard, and patrol left and right, but he didn't see the man in black, and immediately said, "By the way, there is also a Jiangyang thief, who is used to flying eaves and walking walls, but he is not here at this time." β
"Flying cornices and walking on the wall?" Zhang Erzhuang firmly believes in his own judgment, although businessmen with considerable wealth have the habit of hiring bodyguards, but they can only do some three-legged cat kung fu, how can they bring the master to their side?
"Zhang Zhutou, there must be some misunderstanding here." The green tendons on Wei Rushan's head burst out-
Playing immortal jumping has actually hit the young master's head, this big strong brother is really hateful. If it is usual, Wei Rushan can't bear it, only the young master is noble, and he is a woman, but he doesn't dare to make the slightest mistake. For now, it's better to protect the young master and leave safely, and then go to his cousin to administer justice to himself.
Thinking like this, he had to swallow his anger and stepped forward and handed over the silver ticket in his sleeve:
"A small gift, not a tribute, but also ask Zhang Zhutou to help say that he is agreeable, and I will definitely be grateful."
Zhang Erzhuang's eyes glanced at the silver ticket, and a hint of joy obviously flashed, and the denomination on it was a full hundred taels.
Sure enough, there is a lot of money!
took it unceremoniously at the moment, but immediately said:
"What are you doing? Don't arrest all these key criminals yet! β
In addition to Brother Zhang Dazhuang, a big man rushed towards Xi and the three of them.
Unexpectedly, the other party took the silver ticket and wanted to take someone, Wei Rushan was suddenly shocked and angry:
"Zhang Erzhuang, you dare!"
was kicked to the ground by Zhang Erzhuang:
"Don't you see how dare I!"
The smug expression also froze instantly-
But it was Alan who was silently guarding Xihe's side, suddenly raised his hand, and then with a "Kaba" sound, he broke the wrist of a ruffian who rushed over first, and kicked over another big man, and before the big man could react, his figure had already flown up, and it was a coincidence that it was smashed on Zhang Dazhuang, who was sitting up and watching a good show with excitement.
Zhang Dazhuang said "ouch", so he didn't faint again, Rao is like this, but the Venus is still rising in front of him, and he is dizzy for a while.
Zhang Erzhuang's face turned white with frightβdidn't Fang Cai's brother mean that the master was not here at this time? How is there still a tricky one?
Seeing that Alan quickly gained the upper hand, Zhang Erzhuang's eyes rolled, and he suddenly grabbed Wei Rushan's collar who was also stunned by the scene in front of him, and the big knife in his hand was immediately handed over, and it was resting on Wei Rushan's neck, and he said inwardly:
"Let your people, stop, or I'll cut off his head!"
"Stop." Xihe said without hesitation.
All? Zhang Erzhuang was stunned for a moment, isn't it the long-term follower of this young master? It's everything. Anyway, whatever he wants, as long as he is in his own opinion. Unbeknownst to him, the two ghostly shadows that had already approached him flew away like a fly.
On the contrary, Zhang Dazhuang, who was lying on the stretcher, looked at it squarely, and was so frightened that the hairs on his body stood up, and he was about to shout out, but he was afraid of attracting the two evil stars again, so he hurriedly smashed his mouth with his backhand.
As for Wei Rushan, he was grateful, and his whole body was trembling - how could he let the young master get involved in danger for himself?
"I'm not running, you can let Steward Wei go." Xihe looked at Zhang Dazhuang and raised his voice, "Since you say that I am going to commit a crime, I will go to the official with you." β
It's one thing to deal with the Giant Shark Gang, but it's another thing to deal with the Shangguan Mansion, if this matter is really big, not only will it be difficult for Wei Rushan to gain a foothold in Anyuan in the future, but also his father who is far away in the capital will have a great reputation at this time, and there will inevitably be many people staring at him, but he must not act arbitrarily.
Only villains like Zhang Erzhuang, but there is no need to say more to him, just wait to see the magistrate here, and he can show his identity.
"Master-" Wei Rushan was stunned for a moment, his eyes were red, "It's not a pity to die in this life, don't care about me, young master-"
The young master is a woman, it's really past the ya, how can you find your in-law's family when it is passed out? And Zhang Erzhuang and others are not black-hearted, God knows what bad tricks he will make in the next moment, it is really to his territory, can you not call the sky not the earth? !
Zhang Erzhuang was proudly tight, and the big knife in his hand did not leave Wei Rushan's neck at all, and waved his hand again:
"What are you doing in a daze, escorting these key criminals back to the Ya!"
Those people glanced at each other, and each raised their weapons in their hands, and the cold light just surrounded Xihe and the others.
Zhang Erzhuang was complacent for a while, only to feel that the addition of an official and a beautiful concubine was in front of him, and he bumped the knife on Wei Rushan's back:
"Keep up!"
Wei Rushan fell to the ground with a "poof", his head hit the rockery next to him, and blood flowed for a while. He was in front of him, and he was busy holding on to it, and just about to say something, another burst of footsteps sounded, but it was two teams of soldiers in bright armor rushing over.
