It is rumored that the old owner of Qingchuan Island is called Zhang Huan, and his life is not good, and his wife and children died early. Later, he adopted two abandoned children, and the adopted daughter was named Zhang Lan'er, and the righteous son was named Zhang Lie.

These two originally had nothing to do with each other, but they were brought back by Zhang Huan to take care of them attentively, and they were considered bamboo horses and childhood plums, and the two had no guesses.

When Zhang Lie grew up to 256, he was still fishing, drying nets, and suffering all day long.

The old island owner couldn't stand it, so he said: "Let's get married, you two grow up together under my nose, it's the most suitable." ”

Zhang Lie was still a little confused, and Zhang Lan'er was also twisting.

The old island owner has long seen through your eyebrows, but you can rest assured that your father will be perfect, and it won't take long to do this.

It stands to reason that Zhang Lie should be happier.

"Since you became a pro, your brows are furrowed even more, what are you thinking?" Zhang Lan'er didn't have a happy life after getting married, she couldn't understand this man who grew up together.

"I'm thinking, you can't live like this for the rest of your life, right? Finally died of old age on the island? No, I'm going out and do something big! The young man spoke with a sonorous voice, full of hope, and set off with his bags on his back.

As soon as Zhang Lie left, the old island owner fell ill first. In addition to taking care of Zhang Lan'er every day, she also stood at the ferry like a wangfu stone. Sunrise and sunset, the days on the island are dull. No one knew that Zhang Lie was arrested and imprisoned after three months of leaving the island.

How boring the island is, how lively it is outside.

Zhang Lie used to follow the old island owner ashore, and after entering the city, he hurriedly purchased some necessary supplies at the market and came back. This time, he came out, tired of carrying sandbags, beating ruffians, learning skills from others, being deceived, suffering and bleeding, but he failed to get ahead.

Later, he found a place to stay, which was a shop selling cloth in Guzhou City, smiling all day long, and his self-esteem fell to the ground, and before he could pick it up, he met the owner of the shop who died, and was arrested and imprisoned by the government on false charges.

The facts of the case are very simple, when the shop owner died, only the boss's mother-in-law, Zhang Lie, and Mr. Bookkeeper were there.

Zhang Lie pointed out that Mr. Ledger had already had a leg with the boss's mother-in-law, and most of the murderers were these two people.

The prefect of Naguzhou didn't investigate it carefully at all, so he patted the shocked wood and said: "You said that the two of them killed it, but they said that you had a grudge in your heart, and you killed the person." Without saying a word, he slapped Zhang Lie on the board and asked him to recruit him from the truth.

Zhang Lie, who was beaten half to death, spurted a mouthful of blood under the hall and fainted.

In the prison, the bookkeeper said, "I will let you out tomorrow and advise you to take care of your sins." You look at my weakness, you look at my own rudeness, if you are the prefect, who do you think the murderer is? ”

"Hehe, hehe, hehehe...... I don't distinguish between black and white in this world, it turns out that some people have bad eyes, or you scholars have black hearts, tsk. ”

"Brother, let's not hide it, my family has already taken care of the prefect, and they can do whatever they want the case to do. You're looking for a backer outside, but you don't, you deserve to be unlucky. Ahaha......"

The frustrated Zhang Lie sat in the dark, his eyes bloodshot, and pressed the knuckles of his ten fingers to "crunch".

"What sound?"

"Mouse, probably ......"

Mr. Bookkeeper struggled a little before he died, hoping that someone would come to save him, and he would cool down more slowly.

"Scholars die of talking a lot, so if you don't die, who will die?"

That night, Zhang Lie was released from prison.

How to let it go, there is no need to say everything, but he still did something big in the end - he went back to Qingchuan to find a group of young islanders to be water bandits, and almost didn't make the old island owner angry to death.

In the past few years, the water bandits led by Zhang Lie have gone out to rob from time to time, and the adults of Guzhou Mansion have colluded with him, and they have taken the fishermen to split the accounts and share the profits of the silver that has been robbed and stolen. Every time the official ship sent troops to suppress the bandits, they came out and shook it two or three times, then beat the drums and withdraw the troops, and let them go with one eye open and one eye closed.

Therefore, Zhao Qingmiao is really unlucky.

"If it weren't for the fact that the goods had to come to Guzhou to procure this time, I would probably have been able to escape the catastrophe." The wind blew through her brow, and there seemed to be a flash of light in her eyes.

Zhang Lan'er looked Zhao Qingmiao up and down, and said silently: "You really don't want to marry him?" ”

～

'Crunch, squeak'. The sound of stepping down the wooden steps disturbed the silence of the dungeon.

Chang Xi squatted on the ground with his knees in a circle, drooping his head and slumping, and suddenly was pushed by the person next to him, and he was about to turn his head to look at it-'Shen Jiu'.

"Don't sleep, someone's coming." Shen Xiao took advantage of the fact that he had just taken a nap, and he had already regained his spirits, and his side face looked handsome in the poorly lit prison.

Chang Xi secretly stuck out his tongue and stared at the outside of the prison.

"Why did Madame come in person? Or I'll inform the big boss, so as not to have any misunderstanding later. "The bandit is not very old, but he is also cautious.

Just after lunch, the other brothers were sleeping, but he was left alone to guard the door of the dungeon, and he couldn't worry a little more.

Zhang Lan'er saw that he didn't dare to stop him, so she walked around him as she spoke, "What, Ah Da, what I said now is not good?" Do you think that you are about to have a new lady, so you don't take me seriously? ”

Ah Da frowned, and said bitterly: "How, how could it be!" We all grew up in Qingchuan since childhood, how can this friendship be compared to outsiders. ”

Zhang Lan'er arrived at the cell door and pushed the man away with a cold snort. "Then don't get in my way."

Ah Da held his breath in his heart, swallowed his saliva, and carried the knife to the corner of the wall without making a sound.

Zhang Lan'er swept around the prison and found Chang Xi and said, "Are you Miss Zhao's maid?" ”

Chang Xi nodded blankly.

"Your young lady is going to get married tomorrow, and it's not okay to have no familiar person around to serve you. Miss Zhao begged me to let you out. ”

Chang Xi was shocked and stood up: "Which family is it?" And the five big and three thick water bandit leaders? Bah! My young lady Bingqing Yujie, he also deserves it! ”

Although Zhang Lan'er has a lot of suspicions with Zhang Lie, they have been married for many years, and they are not used to listening to others' nonsense, so they interrupted after coughing twice: "It's not your little maid who has the final say, don't rub it off, your young lady is still waiting in the room." ”

Ah Da heard that something was wrong, and Zhang Lan'er had already reached out to ask for the key to open the door.

He looked embarrassed, he didn't get the permission of the big boss, do you want to let it go?

Zhang Lan'er saw Ah Da's hesitation, directly reached into his waist, grabbed a bunch of keys, and tried them one by one.

"Click." The lock is open.

Shen Xiao squinted his eyes like a fox who had become a fine fox, looked at Zhang Lan'er with a calm expression, paused, and said in a low voice to Chang Xi, who was still hesitant: "Your young lady is going to be offended, if you don't look at it, aren't you afraid that she will be bullied?" ”

Chang Xi suddenly realized, so he reluctantly followed Zhang Lan'er.
