When Lin Yuan was undecided, Zhang Ziyu said: "The people see that there are many old and weak among these people, and they may not be able to bear the eighty cane punishments, so it is better to write them down for the time being, if they have another incident, it is not too late to increase the punishment."

Lin Yuan said in his heart: "You are just doing this to establish your authority in front of the common people, what a vicious woman!" But Lin Yuan had nothing to do with her, so Lin Yuan had no choice but to say: "Okay, it's up to you, let's write down these cane punishments for the time being." ”

Zhang Ziyu said: "If the governor has nothing else to do, then the people's daughter will retire first." ”

Lin Yuan nodded coldly and did not speak, Zhang Ziyu stood up and walked out of the crowd lightly. Lin Yuan returned to his residence, and Shen Wanqing stepped forward and asked, "How is it?" Did you clean up the Zhang family properly? ”

Lin Yuan sighed, and as soon as he talked about today's events, Shen Wanqing said: "It seems that this Zhang Ziyu is very powerful, you don't have to be sad, she just caught the weakness that you don't understand the laws of the Qing Dynasty, let's think of a way, we will definitely be able to come up with a trick to defeat her." ”

Lin Yuan nodded and said, "Knowing each other and knowing oneself, invincible in a hundred battles, what we have to do now is to understand what kind of person this Zhang Ziyu is, and then figure out how to defeat her." ”

Shen Wanqing said: "This is easy, let's go to the vicinity of Zhang's house, there must be someone there who knows about Zhang Ziyu, let's just change our clothes." ”

Lin Yuan said: "Without further ado, let's leave now." ”

The Zhang family is the richest family in Qingyuan County, so naturally they want to live in the county seat, Lin Yuan and Shen Wanqing came to the county seat and found a teahouse outside the Zhang family.

Lin Yuan casually ordered a pot of tea and a few snacks, then pointed to the bookkeeper behind the counter with his eyes, and said to Shen Wanqing: "You see that bookkeeper is so strange." ”

Shen Wanqing looked at the bookkeeper, who was about thirty years old, and looked polite, and she really couldn't see anything strange, so she asked, "What's wrong with him?" ”

Lin Yuan said: "When we came in, he was reading "Reading the Minutes of History Fangyu", don't you say that a bookkeeper reads such a book? ”

Shen Wanqing said: "What is the "Reading History Fangyu Minutes"? How can it be strange for a bookkeeper to read such a book? ”

Lin Yuan said: "Reading the Minutes of Reading History and Public Opinion is the most important work of military geography in the history of our country. ”

The two said a few words about Mr. Bookkeeper, and Shen Wanqing said, "Aren't we here to inquire about Zhang Ziyu?" How did it get to Mr. Bookkeeper? ”

Lin Yuan came back to his senses at this time, he saw that the guy was not busy, so he called him closer, pointed to the chair with his hand, and said, "Sit down and talk." ”

The man shook his head like a drum, and said, "This is unacceptable, if I am told by the shopkeeper, my job will be ruined." ”

Lin Yuan took out a piece of silver from his sleeve, put it on the table, and said, "If the shopkeeper scolds you, you will give him this piece of silver." ”

The guy walked in front of Lin Yuan with a smile, and Lin Yuan smiled: "How long have you been working here?" ”

The guy said, "I've been doing it for almost three years." ”

Lin Yuan said: "Do you know all the stories of these people nearby?" ”

The man said, "How can anyone who stays in our teahouse not know these things? Tell me, what do you want to know? ”

Lin Yuan pointed to the Zhang family's mansion with his hand and said, "You tell me about Zhang Ziyu." ”

When the guy heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "You mean Sister Ziyu, she is a good person, she usually looks at us as pitiful, gives us some silver from time to time, and is also kind to buy things in our teahouse, unlike some people, who rely on their own money and treat us as dogs." ”

Lin Yuan was shocked: "I didn't expect this Zhang Ziyu's reputation to be quite good." So Lin Yuan asked: "This Zhang Ziyu is a woman, how did she become the head of the Zhang family?" ”

The guy said: "This must be the meaning of the original master of the Zhang family, that is, Zhang Ziyu's father, Zhang Yunfeng, Zhang Yunfeng said everything in the Zhang family, everyone else has to listen to him, if he gives the position of the head of the family to Zhang Ziyu, others will not dare to say anything!" ”

Lin Yuan asked again: "Then Zhang Ziyu doesn't have an elder brother and younger brother?" ”

The guy said: "Zhang Ziyu has an elder brother named Zhang Zilin, but this person is a loser, he will rob men and women, fight cocks, but he can't do anything serious, I guess it is because of this that Zhang Yunfeng passed on the position of head of the family to Zhang Ziyu." ”

Lin Yuan asked: "Then if Zhang Ziyu gets married and has a child, won't the Zhang family's family business all belong to people with foreign surnames?" ”

The guy said, "Isn't it?" Or Zhang Ziyu is thirty-five years old this year, or is she a big girl with yellow flowers? I guess it must have been Zhang Yunfeng who didn't let her get married in the first place. ”

Lin Yuan thought to himself: "She is actually thirty-five years old!" When I looked at her, I thought she was only twenty-seven or eighteen years old. ”

Shen Wanqing whispered on the side: "Thirty-five years old, she hasn't gotten married yet, it seems that her life is quite sad." ”

Lin Yuan thought back to his man's words, and suddenly a brilliant idea came to mind, and he asked the man: "You said that this Zhang Zilin robbed men and women, is there any evidence?" ”

The guy whispered, "Don't say I said it. As he spoke, he pointed his finger at Mr. Bookkeeper and said, "Look at our Mr. Bookkeeper, it turned out to be a showman, it is said that he is full of poetry and books, and he is a great talent, how do you say that he has become a bookkeeper with us?" ”

Lin Yuan asked, "What is this because of this?" ”

The guy said: "His wife was snatched by Zhang Zilin because she was beautiful, and he was a seed of infatuation, so he became a bookkeeper here and wanted to see his wife again." ”

Lin Yuan said: "You call him, I have something to tell him." ”

The guy nodded, came to the counter and said a few words, and the bookkeeper walked up to Lin Yuan and asked, "Does this master have anything to do with me?" ”

Lin Yuan pointed to the chair with his hand and said, "Please sit", and waited for him to sit down before saying, "I don't know what you call it?" ”

The bookkeeper sighed, shook his head and waved his hand and said: "The down-and-out people in the rivers and lakes, what face does it degrade the name and surname given by the ancestors, don't say it, don't say it." With that, he got up and left.

When Lin Yuan didn't know how to keep Lu Dao, Shen Wanqing stretched out his hand and grabbed his arm, and when Mr. Ledger saw that he was being pulled by a beautiful girl, he couldn't help but blush, and said again and again: "Girl, let go quickly, what kind of system can this become!" ”

Shen Wanqing smiled: "Your wife was snatched away by Zhang Zilin, right?" We can help you get her back! ”

When the bookkeeper heard this, he stood on the spot, sat down on his chair with his knees weak, and asked, "What you said is true?" ”

Without waiting for Lin Yuan and Shen Wanqing to answer, Mr. Ha Lu Ha Da smiled, got up and left, and said: "Impossible, impossible, even the Fengtian Prefect has no way to take them, what can you do." ”

Lin Yuan smiled heartily and said, "It's just the Fengtian Prefect, what is it." ”

In the surprised eyes of Mr. Bookkeeper, Lin Yuan stretched out his finger, dipped the tea in the bowl, and wrote the word "Lin" on the table.
