That night, Shen 'Men' presented evidence, and when Zhang Lian's brothers saw it, they couldn't help but be angry, and Zhang Po immediately rushed out with a knife, shouting: "I'm going to kill him!" I'm going to kill him!" "In his mouth, he is naturally their father-killing enemy, Zhang Houde, the patriarch of the village! Zhang Lian was also full of hatred, but when he saw his younger brother hurriedly rushing out with a knife, he snatched his knife with one hand, covered his mouth with the other, and dragged him back to the room. Zhang Po was still shouting: "Brother, what are you doing!" What are you doing! Zhang Lian raised his hand, slapped him twice, and shouted, "You shut up for me!" Zhang Po calmed down in pain.

Zhang Lian went out again, and said to the neighbors who came to inquire that Zhang Po was drunk, and only came back after sending everyone away, at this time Zhang Po had completely calmed down, and asked Zhang Lian what to do, Zhang Lian glanced at Shen 'door' and said: "It's been so long, what's the point of pursuing it again?" ”

Shen 'Men' and Zhang Po couldn't help but be surprised when they heard it, before Shen 'Men' could speak, Zhang Po had already shouted: "Brother! That's the revenge of killing my father! If it weren't for Zhang Houde's old puppet, we would have been orphans? He has been unable to get along with us everywhere all these years, it turns out that it is for this! Fortunately, we didn't die by him! I didn't know why before, but now ......"

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Lian had already shouted with a calm face: "I just told you to shut up, did you hear it!" Zhang Po was suffocated by his drink for a while, unable to speak, Zhang Lian said to Shen 'Men' again: "Manager Shen, thank you for taking the risk to tell us about this, so that we were not hidden by this old thief." Without letting Shen 'Men' have a chance to speak, he said: "But after so many years, we have become accustomed to peaceful life, and we don't want to cause more trouble." I will solve this family matter myself, and I will repay the kindness of Manager Shen to inform us of this matter sooner or later, but the matter at sea, after all, is not something that our brother can 'intervene' in. This time, let Mr. Shen run for nothing! ”

Shen 'Men' never expected that Zhang Lian could be so calm under the hatred of killing his father at first glance, and he said so desperately, he didn't know how to persuade him, and after Zhang Lian finished these few words, he invited him to rest next door, and sent them away overnight at the fourth watch, and after coming back, Zhang Po asked: "Brother! You really don't plan to take revenge on this? ”

"Of course you have to report it!" Zhang Lian gritted his teeth and said: "The hatred of killing my father is not shared!" If this revenge is not avenged, are we still men! How many times did we encounter danger when we were children, and now that I think about it, I'm afraid it's all related to Zhang Houde! It can be seen that he also treats us as thorns in his heart! So we're going to have to deal with this old man sooner or later! Not only for revenge, but also for self-preservation! ”

"Then why did you drive Shen 'Gate' away?" Zhang Po said: "I was too impulsive just now, it was wrong for me to break out and shout, but you don't have to drive away Shen's 'door'!" We can borrow their strength against the old horseman! ”

"You know what!" Zhang Lian said: "Have you ever thought about why Xiaowei Lao sold us this news!" Zhang Houde killed our father back then with 'yin', and few people know it! Although Xiaowei Lao happened to know, but we are not relatives, and he and Zhang Houde have no deep hatred, why should they come to expose his 'yin' and 'private' betrayal of our good? ”

Zhang Po said: "You mean he has bad intentions? ”

"Of course I mean it!" Zhang Lian said: "He wants to drag us into the water!" ”

Zhang Po said: "If you go into the water, you can go into the water." Anyway, the right days are getting worse and worse now, if the grass falls, maybe it will be a little more refreshing! ”

"Nonsense!" Zhang Lian said: "The evil path is easy to follow, but the right path is difficult to walk. We are not Shan Dinghan, how many people are involved behind it! As soon as the grass falls, Uncle Houming, Brother Lang, and your sister-in-law's family, at least dozens of families with good relatives and friends will be implicated. We are still on the right path, why should we fall into the grass? How many grievances have I endured to have this foundation, why did I fall into the grass in vain? Hum! If I really want to take revenge when the grass falls, why should I use the power of the little tail and the old man? Let's take a knife to cut off Zhang Houde's head, who will stop us in Wushiwei? Who can stop us? But we can't do that! My Ming court is a place where there is a king's law, as long as we collect all the evidence, when the time comes, a pleadings will be reported, and it will be called Zhang Houde Fufa! ”

Zhang Po has always admired his brother, so he said: "Okay, just do what my brother says!" ”

Zhang Lian said: "From now on, we will still live, as if this incident has never happened, we will investigate slowly in secret, and then sue the old man after 'getting' the evidence!" However, although I am an unpopular collector, I have stayed in the countryside since I was a child, and I don't know much about things in the county government. In the future, I will go to the county seat more often to see if I can make some friends in the sixth room of the county government. Seeing that the sky was about to be white, he said: "I don't need to sleep this night, I will walk on various roads after dawn, in case Xiaowei can't be hard." You stay in the village, and you look at that Wang Si. ”

Zhang Poqi said: "Wang Si? He's also suspicious? ”

"I can't see it yet." Zhang Lian said: "This person is well-informed and has a good conversation, but unfortunately the timing of his visit this time is too unfortunate, just in time for an eventful season, I don't dare to believe him too much, or I should really open my heart and 'chest' to be friends with him." I will ask Brother Lang to talk about expelling customers, and you will personally send him to the 'Chao' state capital." ”

The brothers were busy for half the night, and they were a little hungry, so they 'messed around' and 'made' some porridge to eat, but they were both worried about the revenge of killing their father, and they didn't know the taste of it. After eating porridge, Zhang Po went to invite Zhang Lang to come, and Zhang Lian said the meaning of "sending Wang Si", Zhang Lang was a little unhappy, but it was not easy to say anything, he returned home sullenly, his wife asked him what was going on, Zhang Lang told his wife, 'touched' the twenty taels of unbroken silver and sighed: "We have spent a lot of money before and after." Now things can't be done, and we can't ask for other people's silver taels, but I didn't expect that we couldn't even earn these twenty taels of silver! I don't know how much I lost in vain! ”

When his wife heard this, she couldn't help but complain a few words to Brother Zhang Lian, and suddenly said: "Otherwise, we will hide it from them and do it secretly!" ”

Zhang Lang said: "How is that possible! ”

His wife said again: "Without their consent, we can't give such a big number, but it's okay to steal a little bit and sell it to that prince." ”

Zhang Lang said: "There are fewer goods, I'm afraid that people won't look down on them, and people are going to leave today, so it's too late to steal them out to show him the goods and 'trade' them." ”

His wife sneered and said, "You have no brains!" I don't think that Wang Gongzi is actually in a hurry to leave, and it's not because your brother has the words 'send-off' written on his face, so people are embarrassed to say that they want to stay. But if you say a few words in the middle, hide a bad word here, accompany a smiling face there, and what is the difficulty of staying for a few more days? ”

Zhang Lang was overjoyed when he heard this: "That's right, that's right!" "I was about to pass Zhang Houming's side to find the east 'gate' celebration, and before I got out of the 'gate', I saw Zhang Lian's brothers hurriedly following the two messengers, and Zhang Lang was so frightened that he hurriedly asked someone what was wrong.

"Don't worry, it's not their brother who did the errand." Zhang Houming approached the front and said: "It seems that two days ago, a 'female' corpse was fished out of Qiaotou Market, and the messenger of the torture room came to the nearby township to ask if there was a missing 'woman' or 'woman', and asked us to come here." Ah Lian was anxious when he heard this, so he hurriedly followed to see it. ”

"'Female' corpse!" Zhang Lang exclaimed: "Could it be...... Brother and sister, right? ”

Zhang Houming hurriedly fanned two fans in front of his mouth, and said like a mantra: "Bad spirits are not good, bad spirits are not good!" That's when he said, "Stop talking nonsense, not necessarily." Nowadays, the world is 'chaotic', this year's harvest is not good, there are people who have no food to eat, people are cheap, and it is not a big deal to occasionally plant one or two down the river! This is not the first time that a 'female' corpse has been fished out of the river this month. Let's get lucky, and we'll be fine. ”

Zhang Lang said: "That's too." After chatting for a while, he suddenly thought: "Apo also went, isn't there no one to send Wang Si and them to Fucheng?" "I was happy, so I went to the house where Qing lived in the east 'gate', and when I saw that they were packing the package, he 'touched' the twenty taels of silver in his pocket, and stepped forward and said, "Wang Gongzi, you are in such a hurry." ”

Dongmen' Qing looked up at him and said, "There is no silk trade here, so it's not interesting for us to keep it, so let's hurry to Fucheng to have a look." ”

Zhang Lang said: "But Apo just went to the county seat, why don't you wait another day?" ”

As soon as Dongmen' Qing heard this, he knew that he had the intention of staying as a guest, and when he saw that there was no one else in the house, he shook his head and said: "I just said to you, Zhang Judian doesn't seem to want me to live longer!" ”

"How so!" Zhang Lang said: "He actually admires Wang Gongzi very much." And even if he doesn't know how to count, there is still me! ”

The east 'gate' Qingdao: "But there is no 'tide' embroidery here. ”

Zhang Lang walked up to him and whispered: "Wang Gongzi, there is still 'tide' embroidery, but you can't rush." ”

The east 'gate' celebrated, and said with a happy face: "Brother Lang has a way?" "He 'mixed' here for two days, and Uncle Lang was changed to Brother Lang.

Zhang Lang said: "Let's discuss slowly, there will always be." ”

Dongmenqing pretended to hesitate for a while before saying, "Okay, I'll believe Brother Lang again." But Brother Ling's side ......"

Zhang Lang said: "I'll figure it out." ”

Dong 'Gate' Qing said: "If that happens, the placement of porters and guards must continue. ”

Zhang Lang said: "This matter is naturally arranged by me. ”

The East Gate celebrated and said: "That's thanks to Brother Lang!" If this business is successful, in addition to the agreed purchase and sale of money and silver, Wang Si will also have a reward! ”

Zhang Lang listened to the 'flowers' in his heart, and appeased the east 'gate' to celebrate a few words, and saw that they had stopped saluting, so he went out to discuss with Zhang Houming and them. The "guards and porters" mentioned by the East 'Gate' Qing had also arrived in three or four groups of people at this time, all of whom were arranged by Zhang Houming, and temporarily lived in the old house outside Wushiwei, and it was inferred that they were hired craftsmen to decorate the ancestral hall. Wu Ping also arrived in the afternoon, his identity is the leader of the guards, according to the original agreement not to live in the old house, but by Zhang Houming to bring into the enclosure and the east 'gate' celebration rendezvous, after the meeting Wu Ping asked the east 'gate' celebration how things are going, the east 'gate' Qing said: "The mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and the willows and dark 'flowers' are bright and another village." It's still unclear, but let's see. ”

Zhang Lang and Zhang Houming's actions can be concealed from others, but not from the patriarch, after he got the news in the afternoon, he rushed to find him and the two of them: "What are you 'getting' so many people for?" Renovation of the ancestral hall? How did I not know about this? ”

Zhang Lang and Zhang Houming looked at each other, they were all thinking about how to deal with Zhang Lian all day, but they forgot about Zhang Houde! I didn't know how to answer for a while, Zhang Lang was 'forced' by Zhang Houde to be anxious before, and he would always say: "It's Ah Lian who said so, you ask him to go!" At this time, he was in a hurry and got used to 'sex' authenticity: "When Ah Lian comes back, you ask him!" ”

I didn't want to enclose the mouth, so someone shouted: "Zhang Zhudian is back!" ”

Zhang Lang Zhang Houming secretly screamed badly, and Zhang Houde shouted: "Okay! I'm going to ask him! Before rushing to the entrance of the fence, I heard the buzzing and shaking there, everyone hurriedly approached, but saw Zhang Lian holding a straw mat in both hands, the straw mat did not know what was rolled, and he cried there step by step, Zhang Po was holding the straw mat while supporting his brother, and suddenly the straw mat was crooked, and a human hand fell out, which frightened several young girls in the circle to scream. Several old men who knew that the messenger had come in the morning and knew about the corpse recognition incident came to their senses and shouted together: "Look at what! Go back! ”

Zhang Houde originally wanted to ask Zhang Lian, but in this situation, where is it better to ask?

A few elderly clansmen stepped forward to help carry it, and the 'women' and 'women' talked about it in the crowd, and they all said: "It seems that most of them are Lian's sisters-in-law, but I didn't expect such a thin life." ”

After the elders of the clan connected the Zhang Lian brothers and the bodies in the straw mat to an old house, several elderly 'women' and 'women' brought brooms and swept aside the road that the Zhang brothers had just walked, and some 'women' and 'women' held fairy grass water and sprinkled it along the way.

Lin Feng hid in the crowd, opened his ears wide and listened, and only returned to the house after listening to the matter, and said to the east 'gate' Qing: "Zhang Lian and they are back, but they came back with a dead man." ”

Chen Baifu asked, "Who died?" ”

Lin Feng said: "Zhang Lian is his wife." ”

Chen Baifu asked again: "How did you die?" ”

Lin Feng said: "I heard that it was fished up from the river near Qiaotou Market two days ago by a few passers-by. The county's preoccupation said that he had fallen into the water and drowned. ”

"Qiaotou Ruins? Two days ago? Zhou Dafu said: "Isn't that the 'female' corpse we fished up that day?" ”

Chen Baifu heaved and said: "I really didn't expect that we are so close to their Zhang family!" ”

Dongmen' Qing said: "There is more than fate. ”

Chen Baifu asked: "More than fate?" ”

"Hmm." The east 'gate' celebrated: "There are still sins! ”

Everyone was puzzled, and the east 'gate' Qing asked Lin Feng: "Just now you said that this 'woman' in the county fell into the water and drowned?" ”

Lin Feng said: "Well, I heard that this is the case. Uncle, what's wrong? ”

"If the 'female' corpse we fished out of the water that day is really Zhang Lian's sister-in-law, then this matter will be very strange!" Dong 'Gate' Qing said: "I used to stay in the torture cell for a while, and I know a little bit about the 'door' way. The 'female' corpse we picked up was definitely not a slip into the water, the 'female' person was already dead before falling into the water! ”

The crowd exclaimed, "Then ...... that fool?"

"That's a lie! But why do you tell lies? Dongmen' Qing heaved and said to Wu Ping: "Send someone to tell Uncle Lin to wait for two more days, things will take a turn for the better, maybe you don't have to force it." ”
