Chapter 24: The Zhao family falls
Zhou Baochun grabbed Xu Zhaonan's hand, "You must not use medicine...... This matter will be used as a handle, in case we are implicated, then ......"
"I know, cousin, and I can rest assured."
Xu Zhaonan comforted him, and said: "In this matter, does my cousin blame me for making claims?" ”
"What do you mean?" Zhou Baochun shook his head with a smile, "Their family is lying to me, if I still think about the Zhao family, wouldn't this injury be in vain." ”
Hearing her say this, the little worry that Xu Zhaonan had left in his heart was gone.
The two sisters chatted a few more words, and Xu Zhaonan folded the quilt for her and went out lightly.
In the book, Xu Jingshu took advantage of the gap between the Zhao family and the husband and wife to use her power to directly annex the Zhao family's property, forcing the Zhao family to sell their property and fall into a desperate situation.
This method is not usable by Xu Zhaonan.
She doesn't have that power, and of course, the Zhao family shouldn't have the power to accumulate so much wealth at this time.
And the way to find another way, Xu Zhaonan did not lie to her cousin, she did have some ideas.
In Master Zhao's outer room, there is a flower girl, who quickly ran away with her son after the accident in the Zhao family, while the others who stayed or watched or wanted to make some money were all disposed of by the Zhao Wang family.
That flower girl will be written twice separately because she gave birth to the only second son of the Zhao family, and that son is much stronger than the current Young Master Zhao, and he is deeply valued by Master Zhao.
This is about the foreshadowing left by the author, although the book did not mention the flower girl and the son of the Zhao family at the end, but Xu Zhaonan felt that this should be a breakthrough point.
The idea is probably clear, and the most urgent thing now is to confirm the flower girl's feelings for Master Zhao, and then carefully consider what to do next.
On the second day, the Zhou family got up very early and went to see Zhou Baochun in waves.
Zhou Baochun can be regarded as good luck, Xing'er knows some medical skills, and she helped her deal with her injuries in the Zhao family, and the treatment was quite timely, and her fate was saved, but the injuries were serious, and she still needed a lot of time to recuperate.
After sending the doctor away, the eldest aunt took Xu Zhaonan's hand and thanked her while wiping her tears.
It turned out that it was precisely because Xu Zhaonan reminded Grandpa Zhou that the Zhou family bought a little girl again, that is, Tao'er, who came to report the news yesterday, and sent it to the Zhao Mansion, otherwise whether the news of Zhou Baochun's murder could be sent out is not necessarily.
Guan Jin came to the door at this time.
"Bring some warm medicinal herbs, and grandpa will take them."
With a wave of his hand, Steward Du and a few servants stepped forward with several boxes, which frightened the Zhou family, and even Grandpa Zhou was stunned.
Xu Zhaonan was still used to it, and called his cousin a few times and asked them to take all the things down.
"Nonsense!"
Grandpa Zhou scolded, and was about to call someone to get the things back, when Guan Jin spoke again.
"Grandpa, I have something to do...... Miss Hui said, "Can you let us stay alone for a while?" ”
Grandpa Zhou felt that it was inappropriate, and he only then realized that Guan Jin actually called him grandpa, how is this title calculated, he wanted to refuse at the moment, but Xu Zhaonan blocked the words again.
"Coincidentally, I also have something to say to you, come over here."
With that, she turned and walked towards her room. Guan Jin smiled at the people around him, and followed him into the house.
Xu Zhaonan didn't know that the Zhou family outside was anxious enough, she entered the house and poured a glass of water for Guan Jin, and then showed a flattering smile.
This is also no way, after all, there is a demand for people.
She is not familiar with Qinglong Town, and the Zhou family is not suitable to go to the town to investigate the matter of the flower girl's outer room.
Guan Jin took the water, took a sip with a very particular posture, and after listening to Xu Zhaonan's request, there was still no change on his face.
"That, there must be a reward, just look at you like this without worrying about food and clothing, I really don't know what to thank you."
Xu Zhaonan smiled and scratched his head, "Why don't I go hunt two geese for you again?" ”
The last time I saw his expression, I seemed to like this kind of bird very much......
Guan Jin almost choked on a mouthful of water, he put down the cup and chuckled, "I can really do this, I don't want a thank you gift, when you owe me once, if I open my mouth in the future, no matter what, you have to answer me." ”
This is very small, Xu Zhaonan looked at Guan Jin for a long time with a strange face, and he didn't talk about anything like not killing people and setting fires, and nodded directly.
Guan Jin was not surprised by her refreshment, but what he said next shocked Xu Zhaonan.
"The flower girl Du Steward you mentioned knows each other, she and Zhao Fujiu are just what they need, and they can't be said to be affectionate. Starting from her, it can indeed make the Zhao family stumble, as for whether they can get up after falling on this heel, it depends on whether you want to let them get up. ”
"Steward Du knows?"
Guan Jin's arm was bent, and the fingers of his right hand were pressed on the side of his face, revealing a slightly naughty expression.
"I've also lived in Qinglong Town for a while, so naturally I have to figure out the situation in the town. The Zhao family is just a rich family on the surface, but in fact it has something to do with Beijing. I think you know a little bit about my origins, people like us, for safety, we are very careful. ”
He deliberately said this in a frightening tone, and Xu Zhaonan gave him a roll of his eyes cooperatively.
"Zhao Fujiu sells smuggled salt, and the flower girl has an account book in her hand, as long as she gets the account book and hands it to the yamen, the Zhao family will not be able to escape."
Xu Zhaonan was worried about how to talk about private salt, but he didn't expect this to come out of Guan Jin's mouth.
She knew this because she had read the novel, so Guan Jin...... Is it so powerful?!
Looking at Xu Zhaonan's stunned expression, Guan Jin couldn't help but laugh again, but this time he laughed a little hard, and then coughed again.
"Drink water, drink quickly. You're sick ......."
Xu Zhaonan paused, remembering what his grandfather said yesterday.
Her heart is a little stuffy, although Guan Jin looks sick and weak, she doesn't look like she is terminally ill, how can she not be saved?!
"Since you are in Jingzhong, I heard that those imperial doctors are very powerful, can you please take a look?"
Guan Jin stopped coughing, and Xu Zhaonan looked at his face and felt a little whiter.
"It's not a big problem, it doesn't matter if it's incurable, Zhaozhao doesn't have to worry."
"No, didn't you call me Nan'er before, why has it changed again now......" Xu Zhaonan didn't have the heart to care about his illness when he called him.
Guan Jin covered his mouth with a handkerchief, coughed again, and then replied: "Although it is not a big problem, it seems that it is not easy to cough when you call 'Zhaozhao'." ”
The old lady believes in your evil!
Anyway, this title is too intimate, Xu Zhaonan squinted, and when he was about to break it, Guan Jin said again:
"I'm measured when I'm outsider, Miss Xu, okay?"
You're a...... Uh, in short, it's very bad!
"Alright, alright."
Xu Zhaonan compromised.
"What, Steward Du borrowed it from me?"
"Naturally, he and a few of the servants I brought with me will help you."
With Guan Jin's big help, things went unexpectedly smoothly.
Xu Zhaonan saw Hua Niang and her son once, promised a way out of gold and silver, and used her cousin as an example to prove the ruthlessness of the Zhao family, Hua Niang did not hesitate much, and handed over the account book.
Steward Du is a really capable person, and Xu Zhaonan didn't need to interfere in all the follow-up affairs at all, but in two days, the Zhao family and everyone went to prison.
This happened so quickly that the Zhou family was stunned.
The front foot is still worried about the Zhao family's revenge, and the back foot family has killed themselves?!
Xu Zhaonan was also interrogated by her grandfather, which meant that she was afraid that she would sacrifice herself for her cousin and the Zhao family......
To be serious, Xu Zhaonan is not much calm, at least her original plan, that is, to make the Zhao family dare not trouble the Zhou family, it is already good to achieve this goal.
After all, the Zhao family has been operating in Qinglong Town for a long time, and it can be regarded as the county order Qingming, but it is too impractical to bring down such a family in a few days.
But because of Guan Jin, this happened.
Just, is the power so powerful?!
Xu Zhaonan could only sigh again, and decided to listen to more news about the Guan family. In the past, she thought that a noble son like Guan Jin would not have much to do with her, but after getting along for this time, she couldn't think like this anymore.
In the end, it is better to know yourself and your opponent.
The Zhao family's affairs were resolved, and the Zhou family was reminded to still pay more attention to the yamen, and they could not relax until the Zhao family was sentenced.
Then Xu Zhaonan told his grandfather and grandmother that he was going to borrow money to move, and the two old men naturally agreed, not only did they give the money, but even the three uncles also paid some of it, and it was not okay to pay it back.
Xu Zhaonan had to accept them all, thank them one by one, and then go home.
Guan Jin was with her all the way, Grandpa Zhou's expression was not very good-looking, and when he went out, he specially called Guan Jin to speak, Xu Zhaonan was curious about what the two of them were talking about, and the door of Zhou's house was "snapped" again.
Everyone who was shocked by this movement was jumped, and couldn't help but recall Tao'er's call for help that day.
What the people have to say is really not a good thing.
"Sister Nan, go home quickly, your marriage is going to be decided!" The dog was dressed in dust and rushed into Zhou's house with a shouting and screaming.
"My mom and dad agreed?"
Xu Zhaonan frowned, introduced the dog into the hall, and waited for him to pour two mouthfuls of water before asking.
"No, uncles and aunts said no, but your great-grandfather agreed, and forced the aunt to give out all your Geng posts."
This is to Geng post is to go to the eight characters, and when the eight characters are combined, the two sides exchange tokens, which is considered an engagement. And once it comes to the step of engagement, for Xu Zhaonan, it will be very passive.
"Looks like he doesn't want to live anymore."
It was Guan Jin who said this, he sneered and hooked the corners of his mouth, and the handkerchief that was always in his hand was clutched tightly by him.
Xu Zhaonan was afraid that he would cough again, so he hurriedly handed him a glass of water, and comforted him by the way, as well as the rest of the Zhou family, "I'm on guard against him, just tell him to learn a lesson, this thing really can't help me." ”
Without further ado, they were going back to Shanghe Village, but Xu Zhaonan and Guan Jin didn't stay long, but told the dog to rest for a day before leaving.
The speed of the carriage was already fast, Guan Jin wanted to make people speed up again, but Xu Zhaonan did not agree, but it still took a few hours less than when they went, and in the morning two days later, they rushed back to Shanghe Village.
As usual, she drove Guan Jin to rest, and Guan Jin still listened to her, but she called Lanque to go home with her.
Xu Zhaonan Lisuo agreed, beckoned to Lanque, and walked home.
At the gate, Xiao Cai's face was full of joy, and he was chatting with his neighbor's Aunt Wang.
"Hey, we are elders, and the juniors who don't worry about it can't be ignored, just Zhao Nan's marriage, you just say that I found it well! Yes? Is this a family affair that ordinary farmers can climb? Hey, Master Xiucai, maybe he will be an official master! ”
"Such a good family affair, I think it is more suitable for your own granddaughter Jingshu, don't you say?"
