In fact, Xu Erlang did not agree.

But if you don't agree, don't agree, Jin Niang also feels panicked about matching Lisan Niangzi to Mohe.

Mohe is a good young man, even if he is worthy of him and the daughter of the official family, it is not too much to match him personally, isn't this a burying person.

Jin Niang nodded and said, "Then I'll let people reject this matter." Lisan's maid is still waiting for me to reply at the door. This is also a hurry, just told me how long this matter is in a hurry to get results, and it seems that he is desperate. ”

can't be said to be desperate, it's just that Lisanniang's current situation is really not very good.

In the early days, when the family was powerful, it was like a mustard to the people.

Lisan Niangzi is a noble daughter of a family, so naturally she will not be familiar with the general public. But her subordinates relied on her power to do a lot of evil.

Especially before Lisan Niangzi left the cabinet, she was still the favorite of many young sons in Tongzhou, and she was the existence of the stars holding the moon.

Everyone fell in love with her and wanted to marry her to enter the door, and Lisan Niangzi enjoyed this feeling of being the center of everyone. For this reason, if anyone steals her limelight, she will be squeezed back if she makes a small fuss, and even makes a big fuss, and even makes a fuss.

Other things such as making people shameless, making people abandoned by the family, and destroying people's reputations, Lisan Niangzi did a lot of things.

She was also very jealous, and she couldn't see anyone better than her. Not to mention the sisters around her, even the maids in the house, either have a delicate voice than her, or brighter than her eyes, or fairer than her, or have a slender waist than her, these are not within the tolerance range of Lisan Niangzi, so these maids disappeared silently.

The aristocratic lady who was bullied by her also has family members, and the maid who disappeared for no reason also has a father and brother. These people, given the power of the family, had to swallow those bitter waters earlier. But now that the family has collapsed, I still want them to treat Lisan Niangzi as a holy woman in the Buddhist shrine, which is tantamount to letting the sun set in the east and rise in the west, and they don't have to think about it at all.

So now Lisan Niangzi is very lively in front of the door.

Not to mention some Xiaoxiao who covets the beauty of beauties, they dare to lie on the wall of her courtyard in broad daylight and laugh, that is, the relatives of those little girls who died tragically in her hands earlier, even if there is no evidence in their hands, but because they recognize that she is sad, they also throw feces in front of the door of her other courtyard from time to time, or openly scold at her door.

What thousands of people ride 10,000 pillows, what rotten x rotten mouth rotten whole body, the old lady scolds the street and can always spit out anything, but the words are really low, and the scolding Lisan Niangzi, who wants to set up a memorial arch when she is a female cousin, has to be embarrassed.

It is also because of this that Li San Niangzi thought about taking the door of the Governor's Palace.

Governor Xu can't do it, then the subordinate next to him who has to be used.

Lisan Niangzi made a calculation, and waited for someone to invite her to come over, who knows

Jin Niang's eyes purred, and she said to Xu Erlang, "I'll send someone to keep an eye on Lisan's movements." Our side rejected her, if that woman was ruthless, maybe she would go directly to marry the gold and silver of the family and go to other state capitals to make a living. ”

Anyway, she can't stay in Tongzhou, so it's always better to go to a place where no one knows her.

Think about it from another perspective, if Jin Niang is Lisan Niangzi, she will not care about loading a few carts of gold before leaving.

As long as there is silver, there is everything. After that, find a new place to settle down, little milk dog, little wolf dog, what you want.

cough, this is what she thinks for Li Sanniang, as for herself, her body and mind only belong to their family, but she doesn't dare to think about some little milk dogs and little wolf dogs.

Xu Erlang frowned slightly when he heard this, and said to Jinniang, "Don't interfere at this time, I'll let Mohe do it." ”

"Okay."

The matter was handed over, and Jin Niang had nothing to do, so she talked to Xu Erlang about their two sons.

When Xu Erlang heard the news that Changzhou Changhui had returned unharmed, his old father's frowning brows relaxed.

"What about the two?"

Jin Niang replied, "I don't know." Xu is going back with their sister, and Xu is looking for Brother Rong. Leave them alone, they'll always come over before lunch. ”

There was no need to wait for lunch at all, as soon as Jin Niang's words fell, the two boys roared over.

Changzhou stepped on Hot Wheels under his feet, the speed was swishing, Changhui took off and ran hard, and hugged his father's thigh one step slower than his brother.

Changzhou Changhui saw their father and naturally cried again, what did he miss his father so much, he couldn't eat or sleep when he thought about it, and everyone lost weight.

Xu Erlang was very grateful at first, with a look of emotion on his face, and began to wait for the two boys to pick up together, his eyebrows were slightly raised, and the smile on the corner of his mouth was a little crazy.

Jin Niang didn't see it, so she left the three of them in the house and went out by herself.

She's going to the kitchen to see what's going on for lunch.

The two boys are back, so they have to add two dishes they like, otherwise they will say that she doesn't have them in her heart.

Jin Niang was busy, and Mohe, who received the order, was also busy.

It was also very soon, and when I was about to rest that night, a maid from outside hurriedly came to report that there was an urgent matter on the Mohe side.

Xu Erlang threw the newspaper at hand on the bedside table, got up and began to dress. Seeing this, Jin Niang also sat up, "Is there any movement over there from Lisan Niang?"

Xu Erlang bowed his head, "It should be." It should be busy until late tonight, you go to bed first, don't wait for me. ”

When the words fell, Xu Erlang had already fastened his belt and strode out. Jin Niang hurriedly called out to him, "You wait first." Then he took out many medicine bottles from the box where the medicine bottles were placed in the room, and gave Xu Erlang two bottles of various medicinal effects, "It is impossible that there are no traps set up in the place where the family stores silver, and there should be a lot of people who take care of them." Don't be anxious when you pass, find someone to tempt and try to go in together, but don't fall into the trap set by others. ”

Xu Erlang nodded, "I know, don't worry, you won't get hurt." ”

Jin Niang is not worried about Xu Erlang's injury, after all, he has been practicing kung fu for nearly thirty years, and it is difficult for idle characters to hurt him. But what about the subordinates who went with him, then it is still possible to reduce the casualties as much as possible, and there are many places to employ people now. And then there was this medicine that was not taken for him, but for those subordinates. It is necessary to buy people's hearts, this is the insight that Jin Niang got from Xu Erlang's disposal of Mohe and Lisan Niangzi.

"Whoever is injured you give the medicine to whomever you want, your reputation for coldness is too strong now, and you need to use some gentle means so that those subordinates are not so afraid of you. The combination of rigidity and softness, and the clear rewards and punishments, are convincing. ”

That's all about it

Xu Erlang couldn't cry or laugh, but he didn't refute Jinniang's kindness. She heard exactly what she meant. It's just that she doesn't understand the things in the officialdom, sometimes being too cold does seem impersonal, but coldness depends on where it is used. If it is used on the cool officials and the families of the common people, it will only make people obey and admire from the bottom of their hearts. Of course, this also opens up a sense of distance, which will deter subordinates and make them have to act with their hearts.

So, being cold also has the benefit of being cold.

Xu Erlang left, and Jin Niang lay down on the bed again and fell asleep, but because she was worried about whether Xu Erlang's line was going well, and she was really curious about how much accumulation the family's "big warehouse" had, she couldn't sleep. When it was almost time to get up, her eyes were very astringent, but her head was getting clearer and clearer.

At this time, Xu Erlang, together with Lord Wu and Master Ke, who had been ordered to come to Tongzhou, sat in a blue-curtained carriage and headed for the mountains behind the suburbs of Tongzhou.

Tongzhou belongs to the southern region, and there are already many mountains here. Large and small mountains or peaks, from time to time there is the howl of wild beasts, and the dense forests here, even during the day, the trees shade the sun, making this place seem lonely and terrifying, so few people set foot here.

There were a few Tongzhou people among the guards, and they followed the carriage of Lisan Niangzi in front of them to this territory, and their hearts began to hairy.

Because they are quite far away from Lisan Niangzi and her party, they can also whisper a few words. Someone next to me asked, and the guard said, "This place is haunted." ”

Isn't it haunted, earlier a wealthy family in Tongzhou City wanted to build another courtyard here, but as soon as the construction of the courtyard began, the craftsmen died a lot inexplicably. Some chiseled stones into their heads; Some fell from the house under construction, and happened to fall on the shovel with their head up; There are those who carry lime and fall directly into the lime pit for some reason, and only bones are left to be transformed; There are two more miserable, one was inexplicably beheaded, one had a big hole in his stomach, and blood in his intestines flowed all over the ground.

Let's not talk about these dead craftsmen, the rich and noble family lost the money and built the courtyard. In order to prevent evil spirits from doing so, they also asked someone to do a ritual. But it's okay not to do this law, according to which family's family, the old lady and the two young masters went over together, but they haven't returned yet, and the third young master of the family can't wait, so he came over in person. As a result, the ground was littered with mutilated limbs and corpses.

In addition to so many lives, the family of the bitter lord naturally reported the crime. But the people in the yamen did not find out anything, because so many people died, and I am afraid that they attracted the wild beasts in the mountains, and the wild beasts gnawed all the flesh off the human body, and only the bones of the ground remained. So how exactly this man died, I can't tell how he died.

After that, there was the sound of ghosts crying and wolf howling in the realm of this land at night, and the merchants passing by had heard of things like "I died so unjustly" and "I have returned my life", and they also saw white ghosts fluttering. Come on, as soon as the news came out, this side became a ghost land. Not to mention that the local people in Tongzhou will never set foot again, even the businessmen who are used to this road would rather go farther than set foot here.

It was also because of this that when they saw Li Sanniang and her party go directly into the dense forest, the local guards in Tongzhou turned white with fright.

He's scared, but there's someone who's not.

There are those who are particularly bold and clever, and they feel that eighty percent is right here.

Mohe also felt that the designation was here.

After all, they had demarcated several boundaries where they might hide treasures, whether it was mountains or rivers, which must have been rarely set foot on. Coincidentally, this "Hundred Ghost Forest" is on their record spectrum.

They were originally going to start investigating from here, but before they could do it, someone couldn't hold back their thoughts and wanted to show them the way.

Okay, that's a kind man.

In the carriage behind, Xu Erlang gave two cups of tea to Lord Wu and Master Ke, but the two of them didn't have the heart to drink it. Lord Wu asked, "I wonder how much the family will have."

This is to ask Lord Ke, after all, there are three people present, Lord Wu is a noble son of a poor family, he is also a clean and self-conscious, if it is not for His Majesty to give the house after entering Beijing, it is not right to rent a house now. But even with a house and a hundred taels of gold subsidized by His Majesty, Lord Wu's family is still very poor. It is said that the dishes on the table every day in the house of Lord Wu must have radish and cabbage. And the clothes that Lord Wu changed to wear were only two.

Outsiders can't detect whether the thing is true or false, but according to Xu Erlang, it may be true. After all, I have had a lot of contact with Lord Wu these days, and I can also see that the sleeves of Lord Wu's underwear are indeed frayed.

Don't say these digressions, just say that Master Wu has not seen much wealth, and he thinks that Xu Erlang should also have no knowledge. After all, although the origin of this governor is to be said, he is a distant relative of the Pingxi Hou Mansion. But the reason why distant relatives are called distant relatives is that they are out of five suits.
