The curtain opened, and Truman walked out.

He was dressed in black like night, with a tall figure, picturesque eyebrows, a high nose, black eyes with indescribable delicacy and luster, and black black hair casually fixed behind his head by white ribbons.

He is handsome and has a scholarly temperament that is as warm as jade.

Mother Wu looked at Truman, nodded, and said with satisfaction: "Sure enough, he is a beautiful young man." ”

Then she glanced at Truman, glanced at Li Lianyi a few more times, nodded again, and said, "Well, it's a good match." ”

Li Lianyi's previous impression of Truman was mostly lustful, of course, at most, with a little shrewdness and ability.

She has never looked at Truman closely, because in her opinion, no matter how good-looking Truman is, her sense of Truman will never change.

Even if her brother is deliberately matching the two of them, she can't possibly have a little affection for the '' Truman.

It was only at this time that she discovered that those who like martial arts are a beautiful imagination in their hearts.

When there is a handsome guy standing in front of her, she will still choose the handsome guy without hesitation.

She only glanced twice, then turned away with a flushed face.

said in a broken mouth: "I didn't expect this beast to look so good." ”

Since then, Li Lianyi silently added one more condition to the person he wanted to marry.

First, martial arts should be high.

Second, you have to be handsome, as for how handsome? That must be more handsome than the person in front of you.

"This dress should be fine." Truman asked.

Li Lianyi didn't look at him either, and nodded casually.

Seeing the decision-maker nodding, Truman finally breathed a sigh of relief, and finally had something that could satisfy this woman.

Afraid that Li Lianyi would regret it, Truman quickly settled the account.

The price of this dress is not cheap, but for some reason, the boss gave it a lot cheaper.

It only cost ten taels.

As far as Truman is concerned, a piece of clothing is ten taels, and he will never spend it.

His original plan was to spend two or three taels would be enough, but the plan couldn't keep up with the changes.

After spending the ten taels, there were no more silver taels of his own.

Some pained to hand over the money, and the two walked towards the yamen.

On the way, I don't know what the reason is, Li Lianyi didn't speak.

Truman also fell silent with amusement.

......

At the same time, Yangzhou County, Chenfu.

The young son of the Chen family was kneeling in the middle of the house, his clothes behind him were torn, and his flesh and blood were blurred.

Chen Gongzi also burst into tears, screaming again and again.

He had never been beaten like this.

Chen Gongzi's gaze looked upward.

Under the plaque of 'Wealth and Prosperity', there is a person sitting.

It was a middle-aged man, dressed in black, with few decorations all over his body, and only a piece of ancient jade hanging from his waist, which was quite simple.

He closed his eyes tightly, held a long whip, and breathed steadily.

Even the screams of his son in the house did not disturb his mood.

And the scars on the body of his precious son were also struck by the long whip in his hand.

Ruthless and uncompromising.

Thirty years ago, he was penniless and a beggar.

Thirty years later, he has become the head of the Chen family among the four major families in Yangzhou County.

Chen Pinli, anyone who talks about his name will give him a thumbs up.

This man is a legend.

Thirty years ago, although Yangzhou County was affected by war, it was located on the border, and most of the traders gathered here, and Yangzhou County gradually prospered.

Various business giants also began to be revealed, among which the three families with the largest voice were Sun, Zhao, and Qian.

At that time, although Chen Pinli was just a beggar, he already had a city in his heart.

He changed his appearance and crisscrossed the three families of Sun, Zhao and Qian, as a slave and a servant. Shrewd and capable, hard-working, and trusted.

But trust is just a tool for him to make money.

He relied on the power obtained by trust, collecting and reselling business intelligence to earn principal.

After having money, he gradually became emboldened and began to cut off the business partners of the three Hu families to profit from them.

At this time, the three families checked and balanced each other, and they all thought that the other two were in the way, and did not find out that it was the little slave who did it.

When it was later discovered, Chen Pinli had become a giant.

At this time, the Sun family collapsed, and the Zhao Qian family was also greatly injured, so they had to sit and let Chen Pinli slowly grow bigger.

Chen Pinli closed his eyes and pondered, he had been shrewd for half his life, but today he was almost buried by his son.

After a long time, he opened his eyes, looked at his son who was a little less mournful below, and said lightly: "Do you know what you did wrong today?" ”

Chen Gaoyi raised his head, he didn't dare to say what he thought in his heart, because once he said it wrong, he would receive a few more whips on his body.

From this ruthless father, he still learned some tactfulness.

But this tactfulness was not used to get along with outsiders, but to his father.

Chen Gaoyi said in a tone of curiosity: "My son doesn't know, please let my father know." ”

Chen Pinli sighed, his eyes flashed, and he said: "My Chen family has developed to this day, not by fearlessness and recklessness, but by understanding the situation and being flexible. ”

"But this female catcher is not an ordinary catcher, her name is Li Lianyi, her brother is called Li Fansheng, the head of the entire Yangzhou County, you know this, right?"

Chen Gaoyi said in a low voice: "I know." ”

"Know?" Chen Pinli's voice was a little louder, "Now that you know, why do you have to grudge with her, why don't you stammer, don't please, and don't make excuses to cover up your behavior." ”

"Now that you know, why do you still hope that the killer next to you will kill Li Lianyi? Then tonight, Li Fansheng came to the door with dozens of catchers? Tomorrow your mother will hold your headless corpse in pain? Yes! ”

Chen Gaoyi's face changed instantly, he already knew the seriousness of this matter, he immediately knocked his head down, and cried: "Father, my son knows that he is wrong. ”

"Wrong, you are so wrong, your death is just a trivial matter, if those fast catchers find out some secrets of our Chen family, I, your father, and your mother, and even the entire Chen family, will be buried for you."

Chen Gaoyi's head hit the ground and he didn't lift it again.

He just muttered, "I was wrong, I was wrong...."

"Think about it."

Chen Pinli threw the long whip in his hand on the ground, stood up straight, and walked outside.

When he walked to the door, he didn't look up and said again: "From today onwards, you won't go out for the next three months, think about it at home, and at the same time, you are not allowed to bring any more masters by your side in the future." ”

"Yes."

Chen Gaoyi replied.

......

In a room somewhere in Chen's Mansion, Chen Pinli held a portrait in his hand and looked at it quietly.

After a long time, he looked into the darkness and asked, "Is this really this new prefectural commander?" ”

A voice came from the darkness: "Yes, the subordinates are not mistaken. ”

"Did he find you?"

"My subordinate wasn't sure, but he did look at me."

Chen Pinli thought for a long time and said, "I know, you go down." ”

"The subordinates retired."

A gust of wind blew, and the house was quiet again.

Chen Pinli put the portrait aside, took a sip of herbal tea, stared at the portrait lightly, and said, "Chu County Order, how big is your appetite?" ”

In the candlelight, the painting on the portrait was revealed.

It was Truman.
