After Zhuang Rou returned to the city and handed over all the stolen goods to Chu Xia, he was also informed of the grain matter. I thought that he would get the grain back immediately, but he didn't expect Chu Xia to be worried that this would affect his reputation.

He felt that snatching the grain from the rice merchants for no reason would make the other grain merchants panic, and everyone would run away, and there would be nowhere to buy the grain.

I don't know why he cherishes his reputation in Hongzhou so much, Zhuang Rou still depends on him, anyway, when he wants to, find a reason for the bandits, and take down the rice fang.

She still had a lot of things to do, so she went out of the city again after informing Mifang about it, but she had an extra post in black and white in her hand.

"This Yang Rong is really interesting, since my mother's birthday banquet has become a funeral banquet, I remember that when I invited the officials to the funeral banquet, I gave me one." Zhuang Rou went out of the city, rode on a horse and looked at the invitation in his hand.

The old lady of the Yang family passed away suddenly, and this post was not too exquisite, but it was also made of high-quality materials. Four days later, a funeral banquet will be held in the Commanding Mission.

It was supposed to be done in the house, or to charter a big restaurant, but Yang Rong placed it in the open space outside the command department. When I sent the post, I explained that because there were too many people, I couldn't sit anywhere, so it was placed in the open space outside.

If she hadn't invited herself, Zhuang Rou wouldn't have felt that there was anything wrong. But even she, the thorn in her side, received an invitation, and she felt that it was not so simple.

"Maybe, it's a funeral feast." Zhuang Rou smiled and put the post in her arms, and she would take the post to the banquet four days later.

For three days in a row, more than a dozen families with heads and faces in Hongzhou City were ransacked by bandits. Some of the cash and small valuables of the store were robbed, and some were robbed at home, and even the jewelry of the ladies was also robbed.

Although there were rumors, none of these families went to report to the official, nor did they make a public announcement. Even when asked, he shook his head and said that there was no such thing.

And these families gradually learned that other families had also encountered bandits, so they all made an appointment together and found the commander to complain.

"Lord Yang, my family has suffered a lot of losses this time, and the whole family can't open the pot. Please also ask the adults to be our masters and help us recover the looted things. A fat man wiped his tears and said as he cried.

This is Ma Wantian, a large local household, with thousands of acres of land, and a pawnshop in the city, with a lot of money.

His favorite thing is to lie on the coins and roll, so he also exchanged a lot of copper coins and came back, covered a large room, sat on the money mountain when he had nothing to do, and wiped the copper coins one by one with a cotton cloth.

The copper coins that have been blackened by countless people, under his wiping day and night, are as bright as gold.

And he was stingy, although he had a lot of money, he was reluctant to eat and wear, and the cotton cloth that wiped the copper money was much better than the patched clothes he was wearing.

Zhuang Rou went to him, but didn't grab the copper coins that were too large to be taken away at all. Instead, he took all his silver tickets, and took away a piece of cloth from his cupboard.

This made Ma Wantian faint on the spot, the fabric was the material left over from the sewing of his life jacket when his mother died.

I wanted to use it to make a shroud for myself, so that I didn't have to buy new materials when I died, I could save more than a dozen taels of silver, and I could do a funeral decently.

Now that the material was snatched away by Zhuang Rou, he thought that he would be buried without new clothes after his death, and he felt sad from his heart.

"My lord, in addition to the silver, there is also my shroud material, which costs more than a dozen taels of silver! Please help me find it, otherwise, the villain will be buried in old clothes after a hundred years! The more Ma Wantian thought about it, the more sad he became, and he began to cry.

In addition to Yang Rong, whose face was as heavy as water, there were more than a dozen other people who were robbed. They looked at Ma Wantian with disdain, a piece of cloth was just a piece of cloth, could it be more valuable than the silver taels that were robbed?

Yang Rong was in a very bad mood, and Ma Wantian cried so much that he was upset, "Okay, what are you crying about, isn't it just a piece of fabric!" ”

As soon as he scolded him, Ma Wantian stopped crying, wiped his tears, and said tentatively: "My lord, I see that the material of the old lady's life clothes is good, is there any leftover." ”

"Anyway, adults can't use it, so why don't you reward it to the villain?"

Everyone looked at Ma Wantian in surprise, this guy is crazy, he actually wants the leftovers of Lord Yang's mother's shroud.

Yang Rong slowly turned his head to look at him, staring at Ma Wantian's flattering face, there were still some tears on his fat face, and he looked extremely disgusting.

"Okay, I'll make you a shroud." He said.

Ma Wantian burst into tears and smiled, "Thank you, I hope you will bother with the lost silver." If that material can be recovered, so much the better. ”

Yang Rong stood up suddenly, grabbed the teacup and smashed it on Ma Wantian's head, smashing him on the head and breaking the bleeding, and then raised his leg and kicked it hard.

"Ahh

Ma Wantian was beaten by him and kept screaming on the ground, everyone felt that he deserved it, and no one stepped forward to persuade him.

However, Yang Rong kicked Ma Wantian and rolled around in the hall, and finally stopped after relieving his anger, sat back on the chair and touched the tea.

The organic spirit hurriedly sent his own tea over, "My lord, I haven't drunk this tea." ”

Yang Rong took the tea and took a big sip before exhaling fiercely, "That Zhuang Rou is coming for us, let me find out who leaked the secret, I need his life!" ”

"My lord, what should we do?" Everyone asked, although they supported Yang Rong, they did not have much power, so they could only make some convenience for him in Hongzhou and take his big ship to ask for some benefits.

Now it seems that he is directly facing the government, and that Zhuang Rou came to rob regardless of his identity, which is unheard of. If they don't hand over their belongings, they will be beaten, and if they hand them over, they will lose so much that they have nowhere to report to the officials.

If you can't beat it, you can't win, and it feels like there's no place to be reasonable.

Yang Rong sneered: "Don't worry, she's just a grasshopper after the autumn, and she won't be able to jump for a few days." ”

These idiots are really unreliable, and he is also upset when he sees it, if he tells these people about the plan, he may turn around and leak it out.

"You go back and be honest, don't run around at tomorrow's funeral banquet, stay honest with me, otherwise you will be like him." Yang Rong pointed at Ma Wantian, who was kicked by him and his head was swollen like a pig, and he couldn't see it, warning everyone.

Everyone nodded quickly, "Don't worry, my lord, we will definitely not run around." ”

Yang Rong sent them away, and then came to the outside of the command and envoy department, where many sheds had already been erected, and the tables and chairs for the funeral banquet had been moved, waiting for tomorrow.

The knife and axe hands have been selected, and when Chu Xia and the others come over, they will have no return!

He walked to the mourning hall, knelt on the side, threw paper money into the brazier, and said, "Mother, the child is not filial, and tomorrow she will use her head to sacrifice the spirits of her mother and little brother in heaven." ”

Yang Rong is the eldest son, and he has to keep vigil in the mourning hall.

As soon as Yin Shi entered, even the subordinates who accompanied the vigil were already asleep, and the surrounding of the mourning hall was silent, and he was the only one sitting on the ground with a frown, waiting to survive the long night.

Suddenly, someone walked into the mourning hall.

He looked up and suddenly stood up, "Zhuang Rou!" ”

Zhuang Rou nodded, "Well, Lord Yang is early." I thought it would be too chaotic after dawn, so I came to the funeral banquet in advance. ”

"After all, by the time dawn you are already dead, and if no one presides over it, you won't be able to eat this banquet."

"You're the only one who dies!" Yang Rong gritted his teeth and shouted, "Someone! ”

As soon as the words fell, many people rushed out of the white curtains and coffins hanging in the mourning hall.

There are also eight people, who are hiding among the giant paper figures. Now that he got the order, he immediately tore the paper on his body and tore off the bamboo brace on his body.

Zhuang Rou looked at them, there was really enough to hide, "Isn't it cold for you to hide like this?" ”
