Qiao Ran didn't expect such a clansman to exist, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he glanced at He Hailan, He Hailan was calm after being surprised, now no matter what they say, this person will send them to the patriarch, and when the patriarch falls and talks more about this person, it is nothing more than a lot of words, but it is different when he sees the patriarch.

The patriarch of a clan will definitely make plans for the benefit of the clan, so they can negotiate terms with the patriarch, maybe they can use the benefits to negotiate with the patriarch, she can give the patriarch a lot of benefits, as long as she can get out alive.

But He Hailan was wrong, the patriarch was unwilling to negotiate conditions with her, and he didn't even have the desire to talk to her, so he directly asked the man to lock up the two of them and starve to death.

He Hailan was in a hurry, and hurriedly shouted, "It is not good for you to kill me, in addition to being a businessman, our family's identity has another layer of identity, that is, the Marquis of Jin'an Mansion and we are relatives, you also know how important the Marquis of Jin'an Mansion is to the emperor, if the Marquis of Jin'an asks the emperor to send troops to find it, you will not be able to eat and walk around." ”

The man escorting them sneered when he heard He Hailan say this, "Do you think we will be afraid that the emperor will know that you are missing?" ”

The patriarch raised his hand to interrupt the man's words, "Da Niu, don't say anything. ”

Da Niu glared at He Hailan and them, turned his face sideways, but really didn't continue to speak.

He Hailan looked at the patriarch who was the head of the clan but was dressed in tatters, and said in a deep voice, "But if you let us go, we will be different, we can improve the lives of all of you, you can live a rich life, you can use money to buy more things, you can..."

The patriarch raised his hand to stop He Hailan's words, and said with a light smile, "We don't need what you said, and we don't need it." ”

He Hailan looked at Qiao Ran, only to find that Qiao Ran was just looking at the patriarch from beginning to end, but she didn't mean to speak, she winked at Qiao Ran, Qiao Ran glanced at her, and then looked at the patriarch, her eyes narrowed, and asked in a deep voice, "The patriarch wants to say that you won't have a deal here, so there will be no trade, and you won't need us to give you any benefits, because we can't give it, right?" ”

"It's still this son who is smart." The patriarch glanced at Qiao Ran and said, "That's right, our people here can't even solve their own food and clothing, so how can we come up with extra things to trade." ”

He Hailan reacted at this time, they came all the way, although there are people in this village who have houses, but they are all worn in tatters, and those houses are built of shrubs, and they may not be able to block the wind and rain when it rains heavily, at this moment He Hailan is guessing, the reason why this place is called the dead people, is it because their lives are like the living dead, so they are called the dead people?

"And it's not that you don't want to let us out, the main reason is because you don't know where the exit is, right?" Qiao Ran asked again.

The patriarch was stunned, he looked at Qiao Ran in surprise, his brows furrowed tightly, "How do you know?" ”

"Although there are hundreds of people in your village, there are no women or children, and the reason why you are called the dead is because you are dead for others, and you can only wait for death here." Qiao Ran's voice behind him became cold, he raised his eyes to look at the patriarch, his eyes narrowed slightly, "If it weren't for my clumsiness, you should be Zhang Chang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites who disappeared fifteen years ago, right?" ”

Fifteen years ago, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Zhang Chang's family all disappeared, just like the people evaporated, the emperor ordered a thorough investigation, but there is no record of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu and his family out of the city, and there is no news of where they landed and claimed to be, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Zhang Chang is also regarded as the emperor's enlightenment teacher, the emperor originally wanted to block the news, but I don't know who actually spread the news, so that the emperor looked for three months and did not find it, forced by the people, had to promote Yang Wanli, who was still a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, to be the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

In this way, Zhang Chang's family has not heard from him.

He saw Zhang Chang once when he was a child, but he was a child in his body, but he was not a child in his heart, and he remembered it when he saw him, although this Zhang Chang's appearance has changed a little because of the wind and frost, it does not affect anyone to recognize him.

Zhang Chang didn't expect him to fall into such a situation, there were still people who recognized him, he was still such a young man, his eyes were surprised, and he was excited, "Do you know the old man?" ”

He Hailan also looked at Qiao Ran in surprise, this girl... Does this kid know the patriarch of this dead man's race? But how could this patriarch fall into such a situation?

Qiao Ran glanced down at the hemp ropes made of sisal, they were still tied to him, he naturally wouldn't say anything to Zhang Chang at this time.

Zhang Chang also realized it, but he didn't mind Qiao Ran suddenly stopped talking, he asked Da Niu to untie the rope, Da Niu opened his mouth, and reluctantly untied the rope on the two of them, Qiao Ran raised his hand and bowed to Zhang Chang, "Student Qiao Ran." ”

Originally, Qiao Ran's father planned to let Qiao Ran worship Zhang Chang as a teacher, so he took Qiao Ran to Shangshu Mansion to visit, Zhang Chang also liked him very much, but then there were too many people who liked him, he simply pretended to be stupid, and he never saw Zhang Chang again, and that time was the last time.

Later, although Zhang Chang came to the house a few times, he never saw Qiao Ran again.

Zhang Chang looked at Qiao Ran in shock, "You... Didn't you say you were a merchant home? ”

He Hailan blessed her body and said, "Because we haven't confirmed what your identity is yet, patriarch, we just said such a fake identity, the little woman is the girl of the Marquis Mansion of Jin'an, ranked fifth, and her name is He Hailan." ”

Seeing that Qiao Ran was so polite to this patriarch, He Hailan naturally wouldn't be so disrespectful to her elders, she was originally a person who respected the old and loved the young, you respect me for one point, and I respect you for three points.

Zhang Chang was shocked again, "Are you Brother He's granddaughter?" You're so old, and when I befriended your grandfather, you weren't even born. ”

He Hailan opened her mouth, yes, she is only a little over thirteen years old now, and she is not even fourteen years old, and this patriarch has been living here for fifteen years.

Da Niu heard the identity of the two, suddenly burst into tears, and knelt on the ground with a plop, "Won't that person who lost his conscience also throw you off the cliff?" ”

Qiao Ran looked at Da Niu and frowned slightly, "Who?" ”

Well, the two of them were chased and killed by the people of Western Xinjiang, so they jumped off the cliff by themselves, and naturally they were not dropped by anyone.

Jinsha River under the top of Jinshan, falling into Jinsha River from the top of Jinsha must be dead, and it is impossible to find the body, so although the scenery of Jinshan Mountain is beautiful, it has become an excellent place to kill.
