"Why?" Xu Wenlan asked herself for a long time, but still didn't come up with a reason.

It is said that General Guo Jia is about to marry his daughter to the second brother, so the Bai family is the in-law family, why did he suddenly attack her, the in-law girl?

Is it because of the so-called treasure? No, her identity General Guo Jia should not know, and even if it is really because of the treasure, it is by no means directly for people to kill her. Since it wasn't because of the treasure, could it be that she offended General Guo Jia without her own knowledge?

was full of suspicions in her heart, Xu Wenlan couldn't think of a reason why General Guo Jia wanted to kill her, so she simply didn't think about it anymore.

With something in her heart, and knowing that General Guo Jia was very dangerous, she naturally wouldn't move forward, and for most of the next day, she was hiding from the general and his party, either with the Zhu family, or with the Dahuli people, in short, she was never alone.

It's not that she didn't think about letting her second brother protect her, but since Bai Shengwu wants to be Jackie Chan's quick son-in-law, he naturally has to show his face more in front of his future father-in-law, and he spends most of his time by General Guo Jia's side, so Xu Wenlan naturally won't go there.

finally survived the day, and when it was dark, she did not camp with others in the mountains, but pestered the old man to take her home.

Although it is not biological, but the goddaughter recognized by the two daughters, Old Man Zhu still loves this granddaughter very much, even if Xu Wenlan pesters him, he does not feel that this granddaughter is willful, and said that his granddaughter is really filial to her grandmother, and she sued General Guo Jia, brought two roast rabbits and half a deer leg, and went back to Lao Lintun directly.

This night, Xu Wenlan stayed at Zhu's house.

Far away from General Guo Jia, Xu Wenlan was finally much more relieved, but when she slept at night, she was still more vigilant than usual, and deliberately placed a bunch of bottles and cans in front of the door, if she really came to the killer, she would be hit.

Fortunately, the night was calm and nothing happened, but the next day, when the eldest aunt Liu came to call her, she was tricked and almost fell, and the sleepy-eyed Xu Wenlan said a few perfunctory words, only saying that she was scared by a wild boar when she went up the mountain to prevent the wild boar from coming.

Liu listened to it and didn't ask, turned around to take his grandson, and discussed with Xu Wenlan about Bai Hui'er's birth.

Xu Wenlan naturally agreed, and only said that she would let her sister have a good rest, and she didn't have to worry about the things in the store.

Liu didn't want to think about it anymore: "Your sister is concerned about the things in the store!" You're going to really let her leave her alone! I don't have to rest for long, I have been busy in the store for two months, and I will go to the county to help her take care of the child, and I will use her when I nurse the child, and she doesn't have to worry about other things. ”

Just kidding, the daughter-in-law is in charge of the cloth shop in the county, and she has to have more than a dozen taels of silver a month! Although the Zhu family usually has the harvest in the field, as well as the income brought by the hunting of the Zhu family's father and son, sometimes if they can catch a big game, they can sell it for more than ten or twenty taels, but who would be afraid of the money?

Xu Wenlan didn't think about it that much, anyway, it would be up to her sister to see what she wanted.

After eating absentmindedly, Xu Wenlan said that he would go back to Gushantun first.

Old Man Zhu didn't persuade much, and personally drove her back.

Originally, there was no need to work the old man like this, but Xu Wenlan was really afraid at this time, so he didn't refuse.

After returning to the backer, the Bai family didn't need to mention the old man Bai's hospitality, but the more Xu Wenlan thought about it, the more afraid she became, so she directly asked Xiao Lizi, who was waiting at the Bai family, to drive her back to the county seat.

When she arrived at the county seat, she went directly to the Yamen, one person counted the shortest and the other counted the long, and she had to discuss this matter with her eldest brother.

It was not yet noon, and Bai Shengwen was still in the front office. Although Xu Wenlan was a little anxious, he didn't let people call him, he cleaned up the house in the back office alone, and set lunch with the newly invited cook, so he sat in the small courtyard and waited for someone.

After waiting for a long time, her mind began to think crankily again, Xu Wenlan patted her head, and simply went into the study to find a travelogue or something like that.

Cleaning up the house just now, she didn't enter the study, and when she entered the study, she couldn't help but shake her head, the eldest brother seems to be really busy recently, look at this bookcase, there are piles of large and small booklets, thinking about this time, he has read all the copywriting in the county for several years.

stepped forward to help clean up, Xu Wenlan accidentally saw the place book on the table, and only then did she know what Bai Shengwen was busy with recently.

It seems that the eldest brother is planning to recount the fields in Heishui County - most of the area of Heishui County belongs to the plains, and the cultivated land area is still very large. And most of this cultivated land belongs to the wealthy families in the county. Everyone in the county knows it, but there are far less acres of land on the land register.

That is to say, only six or seven percent of the fields are recorded in the land register, and three or four percent of the land taxes are artificially exempted in this way.

The first fire of Bai Shengwen's new official in office this time was to count these fields that were not registered, not only to let these wealthy families who occupy land but do not pay taxes pay this year's taxes, but also to let them make up for the taxes of previous years.

To say that this is a great political achievement, but if it is done well, if it is messed up, then Bai Shengwen will become the public enemy of the big families in Heishui County, and it will be more difficult to gain a foothold in the county in the future.

Xu Wenlan understood it, forgot to worry about herself, and began to worry about Bai Shengwen.

When he turned back to the back office, the first thing he said was this matter.

Bai Shengwen was not worried: "I know this matter is very difficult to do, but Wen Lan, this Heishui County County Order, you and I have a number in our hearts, it will be difficult for me to be promoted after eighty percent, and it is possible to take root in Heishui for the rest of my life, since this is the case, then I naturally have to run Heishui well, I can't just be a nominal county order, right!?" ”

Hearing him say this, Xu Wenlan no longer persuaded him to give up, but gave him ideas to see how to do it.

As soon as he said it, he forgot the time, but the sixth uncle of the cook came to shout, and the two of them went to the flower hall.

Halfway through eating, Bai Shengwen asked her seemingly unintentionally, "Is there something?" When asked directly, Xu Wenlan no longer concealed it, and directly told what Bi Liyang said and her suspicions.

"Since General Guo Jia wants to marry our family, why would he kill me?"

Bai Shengwen frowned, pondered for a long time, and then said: "I will solve this matter with my second brother, you pay attention to your own safety, and don't be alone in the end." Wen Lan, nothing else matters, the most important thing is your safety. ”

"Of course, don't worry, I've never been left alone recently - in fact, I've also thought about it, since I still didn't start in the end on the mountain, maybe General Guo Jia changed his mind? Anyway, I'm also his daughter's future sister-in-law, and he can't do anything about it. ”

Bai Shengwen responded with a smile, and coaxed Xu Wenlan to be happy, and as soon as she left, her face immediately sank.

The next day, when General Guo Jia left the backer, he immediately returned to the Bai family. As soon as he saw Bai Shengwu, he punched him in the chest and shook the defenseless Bai Shengwu.

Bai Shengwen also felt that his fists hurt, but even if it hurt, he didn't weaken his temperament, so he just stared at Bai Shengwu and shouted angrily: "Do you want to kill Wen Lan?" ”
