Under the leadership of Shen Xian, the group walked towards the family where Gan Qian lived. Obviously, these people are all regular civil servants of the government, but they all have a kind of gangster boss who wants to fight with others.

"It must be Xingba's fault." Shen Xian said: "It's all Xingba who looks too much like a bandit. ”

"Blame me for being handsome?" Gan Ning rolled her eyes: "Lord, you look like a female bandit with your sleeves and knife!" ”

"I didn't mean to look domineering." Shen Xian crossed her waist with one hand, turned the big machete from the guards with the other, and leaned her neck and said helplessly: "No way, who made me born with a gentle and kind face." ”

Gan Ning's expression was as if he had accidentally bitten a bad egg.

Cai Yan watched these unreliable people tossing and turning, and she felt that the corners of her mouth began to twitch: "It's just to pick up someone, what are they going to do?" ”

Is it to take Gan Qian out and not to rob her daughter-in-law, what kind of trouble is it one by one?

"Alas, it is good for the Lord to be open." Although Guo Jia's words were full of sorrow, his face was full of interest now, and he almost didn't go out to mess around together.

Cai Yan felt that he was really confused, so he would think about asking Guo Jiatu if it was inappropriate.

Walking and walking, the gang met Zhang Xiu, who was idle and bored and led people to patrol.

Zhang Xiu: "......"

"Lord, what are you going to do here?" Zhang Xiu got Sun Ce's entrustment before leaving, and asked him to look at Shen Xian and stop messing around. Although Zhang Xiu didn't want to deal with Shen Xian very much, firstly, Sun Ce asked for it, and secondly, Shen Xian was half of Zhang Xiu's apprentice, so she couldn't ignore it completely. Besides, if the lord gets into trouble, aren't they still the subordinates who clean up the mess?

"Rob the daughter-in-law for the lord." Gan Ning patted Zhang Xiu's shoulder with a grin: "Are you here Weiyou?" ”

Zhang Xiu: "......" Did I really hear it right?

Zhang Xiu tactfully persuaded: "You ...... It is against the law to rob a woman. ”

Not to mention the lord, what are you doing when you rob another woman!

"Don't listen to Xingba's nonsense." Cai Yan glanced at Gan Ning and briefly told Zhang Xiu what happened.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiu usually looked wilted, but in fact he was a person with a strong sense of justice, and after hearing Gan Qian's pitiful experience, he immediately decided to do his best.

…… So the number of people in the team increased again.

Cai Yan was already starting to feel that something was wrong, her original intention was just to use Shen Xian's power to suppress the arrogant family and take Gan Qian out, she didn't expect things to develop in this direction at all!

"Is it really good to keep going on like this?" Cai Yan muttered: "I have a hunch that I won't be able to hold it today......"

Guo Jia glanced at Cai Yan with a smile: "It's okay, I'm here, what are you afraid of." ”

It's because you're there, it's unreliable, okay!

"Zhao Ji, let go a little, it's really not good, and Wen Ruo has a backdrop." Guo Jia comforted Cai Yan: "The lord is the pastor of Yizhou, the whole Yizhou is hers, who dares to go against her?" Isn't it easy to rescue an orphan girl who was oppressed by her relatives? ”

"I'll lend you good luck." Cai Yan sighed, thought about it, and called a guard to go to the state pastor's mansion to report their itinerary to Xun You.

The best relatives who took in Gan Qian live in a village not far outside Chengdu, and their family has a few acres of land, although they are not very wealthy, but they are also considered to be a moderately well-off family. On the way, Shen Xian asked Cai Yan about the family's situation in detail, and learned that the reason why they dared to be so arrogant was because his uncle, who wanted to marry Gan Qian as a house-filler, was a county magistrate in Chengdu.

"Yohe, I'm still an official, no wonder I'm so arrogant." Shen Xian sneered: "Look at my sister who picked up his official skin today!" ”

Cai Yan said: "You can find out and then remove the official." ”

"Don't worry." Guo Jia smiled: "Just because the county man shielded his nephew and deliberately killed people without paying for his life, it was enough to deal with him, not to mention that the family had been rampant in the township for many years, causing the people to complain." ”

"I'm not worried about that, the evidence is conclusive." Cai Yan frowned: "But the family of that county is quite powerful in Shu County, and the new state pastor of the lord is the new state pastor, if he can't have a good relationship with those powerful clans, I'm afraid that some things will be difficult to do in the future." ”

"Speaking of the Shi clan, the Yingchuan Xun clan is one of the most prominent families in the Han Dynasty, and Wen Ruo moved the entire Xun clan to Yizhou to avoid trouble." Guo Jia joked with a smile: "Besides, there is no big family in Yizhou at all, and the powerful in those places have almost been suppressed by Liu Junlang. ”

What Guo Jia said is very reasonable, if Shen Xian wants to support the Xun family to be the leader in Yizhou, the Xun family also belongs to Shen Xian, the two sides are mutually beneficial, and then Xun Yu and Xun Yu are in the middle, it is indeed much more effective than dealing with those local heroes in Yizhou.

But......

"Since the Xun family is a big family, they should understand a truth, eggs should not be put in the same basket." Cai Yan thought about it, and still said in a low voice: "Now that the troubled times are strife, the heroes are rising together, there are Gongsun families in Youzhou, Yuan families in Ji and Yang Prefectures, Cao families in Yanzhou, and Tao Gongzu in Xuzhou, Liu Jingsheng in Jingzhou, Lu Fengxian in Guanzhong and Ma Shoucheng in Xiliang, etc., so many choices, why did the Xun family pick her when Xian'er was not even the lord of a state?" Could it be that she really has a unique vision, that is, she can level the world? Or is it that the Xun family has a big business, so they are not afraid of losing all the games if they make a mistake? ”

didn't expect Cai Yan to say such things bluntly, Guo Jia was slightly stunned, but soon he covered up his momentary gaffe and said casually: "How would I know? Why don't you go and ask Gongda in person? As for the eggs in baskets...... Isn't Youruo there at Yuan Benchu? ”

There seems to be nothing wrong with this, Xun Yu left Jizhou, but Xun Chen still stayed with Yuan Shao, which is probably one of the Xun family's acts of dividing eggs. Compared with Xun Chen, who was alone in the Runan faction, Xun Yu, who came to Yizhou from the Ju family, was obviously heavier, that is to say, Yuan Shao was only the last retreat of the Xun family, but Shen Xian was the first choice.

Before Cai Yan could answer, Guo Jia changed his words and smiled lightly: "But...... Don't you really know? ”

Cai Yan curled the corners of her lips.

Cai Yan just used this topic to test Guo Jia, of course she knew why the Xun family chose Shen Xian. Yuan Shao seems to have a good family, but he is simply a messy bad debt. Yuan Shao himself is a native of Runan, so naturally he will not treat the Runan faction badly; When he entered Jizhou, he won the strong support of the Jizhou family, and he naturally wanted to praise him after the war; However, the Yingchuan family, which also contributed to the effort, did not get the treatment it deserved, which made the Yingchuan faction very unhappy. It just so happened that a letter from Xun Yu was sent at this time, Xun Yu took a look, and then summed it up with his family, anyway, there is no room for development if he continues to stay in Jizhou, so let's change jobs.

And just like Guo Jia said, Yizhou's family gate valve is not as high as other places, most of them are only considered to be poor and strong, and they were almost suppressed by Liu Yan first, Shen Xian killed Jia Long, the representative of Haoqiang, after taking Yizhou, so the current Yizhou miraculously presents a state of no family gate valve control, and the power is basically in Shen Xian's hands, it depends on how she wants to distribute it.

Of course, Shen Xian can also not have a family, and only focus on cultivating his own poor talents, the advantage is that this kind of person has no family ties and will be loyal to Shen Xian; The disadvantage is that many resources are accumulated slowly or even unable to accumulate, after all, how can the talents cultivated in a short period of time compare with the precipitation of the family for decades and hundreds of years?

The Hanmen and the Shi clan are two forces that seem to be unbalanced, how to find a suitable point between the two sides, probably a lot of people want to break their heads and can't figure it out, right?

Shen Xian and Gan Ning were arguing while walking, and from time to time they pulled the innocent Zhang Xiu to lie down and take a gun, the three people who walked in front didn't know that Guo Jia and Cai Yan had exchanged each other's opinions on a very strict issue, as for whether there was a consensus, only the two of them knew.

Similarly, Cai Yan and Guo Jia, who were focused on discussing something, didn't expect that they were just talking a few words, and Shen Xian, Gan Ning and Zhang Xiu really planned the normal pick-up behavior into a robbery.

"Wait until you get to that house," Shen Xian planned excitedly: "Weiyou, you kick the door open first, and then Xingba, you rush in and let them hand over Sister Qian, and I will support you in the rear." ”

"As a lord, you must lead by example." Gan Ning said righteously: "So it's better for you to rush, and I'll give you a pressure formation." ”

"Why are you so cowardly?" Shen Xian glanced at Gan Ning disdainfully: "If I bring the qin, will it be your turn!" ”

Shen Xian wanted to tremble when he mentioned Qin Zhang Xiu, which had already formed a conditioned reflex and was a lingering shadow in his heart. Zhang Xiu endured and endured, in order to prevent Shen Xian from even the slightest possibility of turning his head back to get the piano, he took a step forward and stood in front of Shen Xian.

"Viyo, do you mean you're taking the lead?" Shen Xian blinked and looked at Zhang Xiu expectantly, Zhang Xiu was stared at by her and her scalp was numb, and nodded hesitantly.

"Oh, that's great!" Shen Xian cheered: "Bandit leader, you can stay and go, you don't need it." ”

Gan Ning said angrily: "I really didn't expect you to be such a lord!" ”

"You guys are enough...... Cai Yan held her forehead, she held Shen Xian's wrist, looked into her eyes and said seriously: "Lord, please put away the machete in your hand, as well as your guards...... Why are you messing around! ”

Shen Xian silently stuffed the machete into Gan Ning's belt.

"I'll come to the door in a moment, talk well." Cai Yan said expressionlessly: "There is a word called salute before soldiers, understand?" ”

"Got it."

On the next road, Cai Yan was holding Shen Xian's arm to stop her from continuing to mess around, and Shen Xian also obediently stayed by Cai Yan's side without any moths, and soon they came to the village, but ......

"Why is there no one in this village?" Shen Xian looked at the empty village a little strangely, she listened carefully, and felt that there seemed to be a noisy voice not far ahead: "Let's go over and have a look." ”

Cai Yan's face turned a little pale, and she said in a low voice, "Qian'er didn't say what day it was...... It can't be today, right? ”

Shen Xian's footsteps paused, and she instantly understood what Cai Yan meant: "But the six ceremonies for marriage, adoption, asking for names, Najib, recruitment, invitation, and greeting, it has only been completed in a few days?" ”

Guo Jia said lightly: "Even if it is to fill the house, how can it be possible to complete the number of ceremonies, I am afraid that I am in a hurry to marry in a hurry." ”

The anger in Shen Xian's heart burned brightly, and she walked quickly towards the noisy place in the village: "Don't say that he can't marry today, even if he does, I have to take people away!" ”

The whole village gathered in the ancestral hall to watch the wedding. Although the Gan family's reputation in the local area is not very good, they can't stand the power and power of other people's families, and who dares to offend ordinary people. Besides, it's just a show, everyone is a neighbor, and it's not good to tear your face on a big day, but it's just that the bride is suffering, and her parents are dead and helpless, and she has to be dragged into this tiger and wolf's den.

Gan Qian sat on the bed and stared out the window blankly, and the matchmaker kept persuading in her ear: "Girl, look at it, you are alone, what can you do if you don't get married?" Will they be driven out and live on the streets? ”

The tall figure wearing white armor and holding a silver spear flashed in his mind, and Gan Qian smiled miserably: "Yes, what else can I ......?"

"Let's go, we're going to get in." The matchmaker sighed and took Gan Qian's arm and helped her up.

The marriage knot is nondescript, but no one dares to laugh or repay the grievances, everyone is silent, it seems that only the married family is jubilant.

Gan Qian was almost pressed to kneel in front of the two distant relatives who took her in, she lowered her head, and caught a glimpse of a trivial and meaningful smile, she was already desperate, but at this time, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in her ears.

"Congratulations." Shen Xian slowly stepped into the ancestral hall, and said lazily under the stunned gaze of everyone: "But a few of you salute slowly, let's discuss the origin of this bride, how about it?" ”

The man in brocade, who was sitting on the side, stood up, and he shouted, "Who dares to be presumptuous here! ”

The man looked like he was in his forties, and he was not a good person at a glance, he walked in front of Shen Xian with his hands behind his back surrounded by several young nephews and nephews, and squinted his eyes and looked at Shen Xian: "Where did the little girl come from, she really doesn't know the rules." ”

The boys behind the man looked at Shen Xian with undisguised presumptuous gazes, Guo Jia frowned, he took half a step forward, blocking in front of Shen Xian to help her cover those gazes.

Shen Xian showed a very shallow smile, she patted Guo Jia's shoulder, walked around him from behind him, and the two stood side by side: "This uncle, your bride is my family's lost maid, and now return the person to me, I won't investigate how she got to you." ”

"Nonsense! You said it was your maid, do you have proof! The skinny father stood up, he pointed at Shen Xian and scolded: "This is clearly the daughter of a distant relative!" Her parents died and came to me alone, and I saw that she was pitiful, so I asked the matchmaker to tell her to my son and give her a place to shelter from the wind and rain! ”

Of course, there was no evidence for Shen Xian's casual nonsense, and just when she was thinking about how to lie, Cai Yan, who had been standing silently behind her, walked out and threw out a sentence lightly: "Of course there is." ”

In the dumbfounded eyes of a cadre and others, Cai Yan took out a roll of silk silk from his sleeve and shook it open, and it was indeed written that Gan Qian voluntarily sold herself to the Cai family and other words, and the most important thing was that a blood fingerprint was printed at the end of the deed of sale.

"If we doubt the authenticity of this deed of sale, we can go to the county magistrate to verify the authenticity." Cai Yan smiled slightly: "Do you dare?" ”

Cai Yan successfully bluffed the family, and then Guo Jia spoke: "It's you who are talking nonsense, right?" What a lonely and helpless girl, although Miss Qian's parents are dead, he still has a brother. ”

Guo Jia said and suddenly pushed Gan Ning forward: "Have you asked her brother's opinion, and she dared to marry someone's sister without asking, and robbed the people's daughter?" ”

Gan Ning, who was violently pushed out, immediately changed his face and roared with righteous indignation while despising Guo Jia who was open-minded in his heart: "You bastards! Give my sister back! ”

It's all acting.

His father was so angry that he trembled, and his mother shouted at a sharp voice: "There is no male in her family at all, only a girl!" ”

"Nonsense again." Shen Xian glanced at Guo Jia with a smile, she took out a folding fan and unfolded it: "Why don't we go check the household registration?" Let's see if Qian'er has a brother. ”

I'm Yizhou Mu, I said that there is, it's a big deal, hum.

"Young people don't want to be rampant, little girl, do you know who I am?" The satin-clothed man sneered: "On the one-third acre of land in Chengdu, no one dares to be so presumptuous in front of me!" ”

"Do you know who I am?" Shen Xian asked lightly: "Don't talk about Chengdu, even if it is Quanyizhou, no one dares to be presumptuous in front of me." ”

"Your family Taishou has been imprisoned by me, just waiting for the autumn queen to settle accounts, at this time, you don't clamp your tail and behave well, and strive for leniency in the future, but you will intensify your efforts, and you are not small." Shen Xian waved her hand, and the guards who had been left outside the ancestral hall by Zhang Xiu before rushed in with gunfish and loosely surrounded the satin-clothed man: "Your Excellency, why don't you take advantage of the wind and soar up to 90,000 miles?" ”

Gan Ning asked secretly: "What do you mean by this?" ”

Guo Jia explained: "The lord means why don't you go to heaven. ”

After listening to Shen Xian's words, and seeing some soldiers walking in, these people finally panicked, and the man took a few steps back with a hasty face: "You, who are you?" ”

"Is this cowardly?" Shen Xian didn't answer the man's words, her eyes slipped around the man and then narrowed her eyes: "A county is only a county, and the most you can do is four hundred stones, but you can afford to wear Shu brocade...... Rich enough, where did it come from? ”

Someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, "He's greedy!"

"That's right! It's greedy! The big guy looked at each other, and after a while, a scholar who was obviously a little cultured said indignantly: "One-tenth of the grain we grow every year must be handed over to the government!" More than half of it went into their pockets! ”

"Who!" The man's face was flushed, he looked around and put on a fierce look: "Stand up!" ”

Shen Xian's tone gradually became cold: "One tenth? The imperial court's tax is only thirty levies and one, and you dare to triple it? Who gave you the guts! ”

"Raising taxes without permission, corrupting the law, rampaging the people in the township, and persecuting orphan girls...... It is my dereliction of duty to have a dog official like you under my rule. Shen Xian took a deep breath: "Arrest him for me." ”

"Who of you dares!" Splashy suddenly howled, and he grabbed Gan Qian and clasped her neck: "Who will move again?" Whoever moves again, I'll strangle her to death! ”

"And you, I heard that your last lady was beaten to death?" Shen Xian narrowed her eyes and gestured to Zhang Xiu with the hand behind her back: "If you kill someone, you dare to kidnap innocent people with nonsense, wait for your life!" Take it with me! ”

"Don't come here!" Splashy dragged Gan Qian back, and Gan Qian rolled her eyes by him. At this time, Zhang Xiu, who had been silent, suddenly rushed over, and he was so fast that everyone didn't react. At a distance of an arm's length from the splashing skin, Zhang Xiu suddenly took out a gun, and threw him far away with the splashing chest with one move.

Cai Yan trotted over to support Gan Qian: "Qian'er, are you okay?" ”

Gan Qian shook her head, and a thin mist floated in her beautiful eyes: "Sister Zhaoji, I'm ...... Thank you for ......."

Cai Yan patted Gan Qian's arm: "Don't be afraid, it's all right, it's too late for us." ”

"No...... I'm so happy you guys can come, I really didn't expect ......"

Zhang Xiu's Xiliang men once again proved their ability to act, but in the blink of an eye, the family was all detained. Splashing his father was so angry that he twitched all over his body as if he was sick, and his mother was still howling dead people like killing pigs, dead people, annoying Zhang Xiu's head was big, and he just wanted to poke it with a shot and settle quietly. Shen Xian glanced at the noisy family, raised her hand and sealed the dumb holes of several people, making them shut up decisively.

Facing the old men in this family who came out tremblingly and tried to reason, Shen Xian said lightly: "If there are any grievances, let's talk about it after I have tried." ”

Clearing her throat, Shen Xian clasped her hands into fists and said to the people around her: "Everyone! In Xia Yizhou, Mu Liu Shangyu, under the rule of such corrupt officials and corrupt officials, I was derelict in my duty and took the blame. If you take people away for interrogation today, you will definitely give an explanation, and from now on, if there are still officials who dare to do things that prey on the common people, once the report is verified, they will be severely punished! ”

Shen Xian left with the family who had been taken into custody.

The surroundings were quiet, people, you look at me, I look at you, everyone looked at Shen Xian's departing back blankly, and after a long time, someone timidly asked: "Lord Zhou Mu is the fifth son, but the fifth son...... Is it a woman? ”

"Say no more!" The people around him rebuked in a low voice: "This is not something we can control! ”

"Great Ancestor, what should I do?" The other young people in the clan came to the old man's side: "I just heard the news that the state pastor only entered the city today, and he didn't know why he came to our village. ”

"What's a woman?" The young man muttered under his breath.

"Do you think it's easy to deal with a woman?" The old man glared at the young man fiercely: "That woman has been pretending to be a man for many years and no one has broken it, and the water in here is very deep!" Besides, she has just quelled the civil strife in Yizhou, and the imperial court has made her a state pastor, what can we do? ”

The young man was trained by the old man to shrink his neck, but he was a little disapproving.

"What to do, what else to do?" The old man sighed: "I have long warned them to be cautious, and they must not bully the neighbors too much, but what can be done if they don't listen?" The new governor has taken office, and he has to find a few people to open the knife for Liwei, which is hitting the knife edge! ”

"That's ......," the young man hesitated.

"Leave them alone! Now it's good not to affect the whole family! The old man said sternly: "Let's see how Lord Zhou Mu handles it, if it is too strict...... Remove them! ”

On the way back, Gan Qian kept holding Cai Yan's hand, her whole body was trembling slightly, and she hadn't recovered from the fear of almost being forced to marry a splash. Cai Yan has been letting Gan Qian pinch herself, silently shaking back to give her strength at the right time.

Shen Xian stared at Gan Qian, who was dressed in red, for a long time, and then she turned around and pulled down Zhang Xiu's cloak and covered Gan Qian's body: "Sister Qian, you make up for a while first, and when you go back to the state pastor's mansion, I will find you a few good clothes to change." ”

"Thank you, sir." Gan Qian said softly.

"Thank you, you're polite," Shen Xian deliberately teased: "You are Xingba's sister, and you are my family." ”

"How can I have this blessing......" Gan Qian reluctantly hooked the corners of her lips.

"Why not?" Gan Ning looked at Gan Qian: "Your parents are dead, my parents are dead, everyone is helpless, and they all have the same surname, do I think you are a sister?" We're in company. ”

Gan Ning looked serious, not like he was joking at all. Gan Qian was stunned, she didn't expect Gan Ning to come for real.

"That's a good idea." Shen Xian clapped her hands and smiled: "Although Xingba is not very reliable, it is still very powerful, let him cover you and no one can bully you." ”

Gan Ning looked helpless: "Lord, don't smear me at this time, okay?" ”

Shen Xian covered her mouth.

"I ...... Okay. Gan Qian said softly: "Meeting you is really the luckiest thing in my life...... Elder brother. ”

When Gan Ning heard this, she grinned: "Sister, my brother will protect you in the future!" ”

"Bye and stamper!" Shen Xian raised her hand and cheered: "Go back and bow down!" ”

"Zhao Ji, how did you get that deed of sale?" Guo Jia suddenly asked, "Could it be that you really fooled people to sign?" ”

"Fake." Cai Yan smiled: "That day, Qian'er was pricked by a needle in her finger, and the blood beads fell on the white silk and printed it, I said to take it to wash, and then I forgot about it, and then when Qian'er asked me for help, I turned it out and wrote this deed of sale just in case." ”

"But it's useless now." Cai Yan put the white silk into Gan Qian's hand: "You take it back and remember to destroy it." ”

Gan Qian nodded with red eyes.

As soon as everyone returned to the city, they saw Xun You coming in a hurry, and when they saw the large group of people behind Shen Xian, Xun You was stunned for a moment: "Didn't you go to pick up Miss Qian?" …… How did you arrest so many people? ”

Shen Xian clenched her fists angrily: "It's this county Cheng, he was greedy for my money, bullied my people, and was escorted back by me." ”

"I have an impression, I haven't had time to catch it, your lord, you are so fast." Xun You nodded, and casually praised Shen Xian: "Let's not talk about this first, someone has come to you." ”

Shen Xian's eyes lit up, and she looked at Xun You expectantly: "Oh, who!" ”

"See for yourself." Xun You smiled, and he stood beside Cai Yan to get out of the way. Shen Xian looked from afar, and saw a little guy riding a white horse lining up, led by a white-armored silver spear, heroic and cool.

Shen Xian was stunned, she couldn't help but turn her head, and sure enough, Gan Qian was holding Cai Yan's hand, so flustered that she didn't even know where to look.

How to say that...... Shen Xian couldn't help but sigh, this is probably the fate of God, right?
