Chapter 17: Acquaintances Again

If it is said that the collection of rent and the cancellation of relief money are tearing the skin with the side branches and cutting off the lifeblood of others, then worshipping the ancestors and revising the ancestral teachings is to stop the thoughts of the side branches.

Shachen has no feelings for these people, and the opportunity has been given to them, which they don't want, so don't blame Shachen for being ruthless.

When he came to this world, his biggest goal was to cultivate and become an immortal, to become a cultivator like Mao Xiaofang who slashed demons and eliminated demons, and a master of the human world, and came back to inherit the Sha family's family business, and he also wanted to use the Sha family's financial resources to lay the foundation for his own path of cultivation, so he didn't have time to fight with the side branches, fighting wits and courage.

One blow to settle the situation, completely cut off the side support constraints, and cultivate with peace of mind.

Sure enough, when they heard that Shachen was going to worship their ancestors and revise their ancestral teachings, the departing side branches were filled with righteous indignation, reprimanding Shachen for being unfilial, blaspheming their ancestors, violating human ethics, and being a member of the Sha family in vain.

He has the soul of the future generations in his body, he has no scruples about doing things, the side branch wants to make trouble, and the sand dust is accompanied to the end, directly placing the incense case at the door of Shafu, in front of many passers-by who are watching the excitement, worshiping the ancestors and telling the sky, how the old man Sha treats these people well, and how these people repay the things of the old man Sha, 1510 told it, and changed the ancestral training of "no one in the main family, inherited by the side branch" to "no one in the main family, donated to the people".

After the incident, Shachen took the people of Shafu away, leaving only the relatives of the side branch who were like ashes to be pointed at and discussed.

Not to mention that the matter of Shafu is boiling in Renjia Town, and it has become a topic of conversation after tea and dinner, but it is too busy to dispose of the sand and dust of the side branches.

First of all, the appointment and dismissal of personnel, the removal of the position of Sha Teng's internal affairs steward, and the appointment of a foreign affairs steward, who is fully responsible for the operation of Shajia's rice shops, shops and farmland rental, can be said to be in power, controlling the economic resources of the Sha family.

Originally, Shachen didn't want to use Sha Teng, this person was too sleek, and he wanted to betray the master's family, which was really hateful, but Shachen had just come back, and he didn't know about the Sha family's industry, and he needed someone who knew the roots to help him take care of the Sha family's business, and Sha Teng was his best choice at present.

Sha Teng stepped down as the housekeeper of internal affairs, and the housekeeper of internal affairs fell on the head of Sha Zhi, Sha Lufu's son, which was also Sha Chen's reward for saving his life in order to thank Sha Lufu for saving his life, of course, Sha Chen did not forget to send someone out to find Sha Lufu's body, and by the way, he inquired about the whereabouts of the horse thief gang.

It's a pity that the people sent out searched all the mountains and forests near the accident site, but they didn't find Sha Lufu's body, but they ran into a horse thief and seriously injured several people, which made Sha Chen angry, but he didn't have the impulse, so he rashly went to find trouble with others, withdrew people, and asked Sha Teng to help him buy the materials to build the foundation of the formation and prepare to refine the formation.

Secondly, Shachen followed Sha Teng to the nearby towns and villages, and visited each Shajia rice shop on the spot, on the one hand, to check the accounts, understand the actual operation of the rice shop, and on the other hand, to meet with the shopkeepers of each rice shop, chatter, condolences, and comfort these frightened birds.

Sha Dust made Sha Teng cut all the side branches of the Sha family in the rice shop, but everyone was panicked, and if Sha Chen did not come forward to appease, it was likely to affect the rice shop's business.

After three days of such a busy day, the affairs of the Sha family were finally straightened out, but a new problem came, the silver money in the Sha family's treasury, the income of the rice shop did not match the Sha family's internal account, and there was a lot of money missing, where did the money go? The house deed and title deed could not be found, which made Shachen suspect that there was a vault in Shafu.

Headless and brainless, he turned Shafu upside down, and didn't find the existence of the vault, Sha Lufu may know some, but he is dead, and there is no way to tell Sha Chen, Sha Chen has no choice but to suppress this matter for the time being, because there are more important things affecting his nerves.

In three days, Shachen released seven 'flying cranes', but Mao Xiaofang did not come to Renjia Town, which made Shachen's heart covered with a thick haze, and his right eyelid was constantly jumping, which also gave him a bad premonition.

As the saying goes, the left eye jumps wealth, the right eye jumps disaster, and all signs indicate that he is in trouble.

Shachen also thought about sending someone to Gantian Town to report the news, but Sha Teng told him that the nearest road from Renjia Town to Gantian Town was the mountain road infested with horse thieves, and the other roads were relatively far, and it would take four or five days to transfer to the provincial capital.

The uneasy premonition made Sha Chen do things like walking on thin ice, cautious, carrying a white cloth bag when he went out, ready to deal with possible dangers at any time, and stepped up to build a formation base in case of emergency, and also let Sha Teng pay attention to some natural treasures on the market, as long as there is news, buy everything that can be bought.

However, the danger he had a premonition did not appear, and the 'Flying Crane' he released did not reply either, and Dust was keenly aware that this would be the calm before the storm!

……

Gantian Town, Fuxi Hall.

After dinner, Ma Xiaohai sat in the hall, holding the rag in one hand and holding his chin in the other hand in a daze, sighing a few times from time to time, suddenly, Yu Dachu pounced on him and asked with a smile: "Senior brother, are you thinking about that snake sister again?" ”

Ma Xiaohai rolled his eyes and said, "Don't call the snake sister of the old snake sister, and the girl with a name is called Ah Xiu." ”

"Okay, are you thinking about Ah Xiu?" Yu Dachu asked a different question.

"We injured the snake she raised, do you think Ah Xiu will be sad?"

"Senior brother, you are not saved, please, that snake has eaten up all the crops of the villagers, the crime is extremely evil, and the master has broken its mana It is already considered a light forgiveness."

"I know." Ma Xiaohai's expression was entangled, and he changed the topic and asked, "Ah Chu, Master asked us to pay attention to Senior Brother Sha's room, saying that Senior Brother Sha sent a letter to inform him immediately, have you seen it?" ”

"Nope." Yu Dachu shook his head, and then seemed to remember something, and said with a smile: "But two paper cranes flew in yesterday and today, and I don't know which child threw them in." ”

"Maybe it's a message from Senior Brother Sha."

"Pull it down, you are blind to me, there is nothing on it, and I threw it into the hut." Yu Dachu said triumphantly, "Speaking of which, I haven't seen Lao Sha for a few days, and I don't know how he is?" ”

"What did you throw at the hut?"

Mao Xiaofang walked out while tying his belt, Ma Xiaohai and Yu Dachu hurriedly stood up and said hello, Yu Dachu replied with a smile: "It's nothing, it's just a few pieces of paper." ”

"Well, does Ashin have a letter?" Mao Xiaofang asked.

"Master, no, I'm just wondering."

"Not surprising at all, it would be strange if he sent a message. The sun went down and took back the medicinal herbs in the courtyard. Mao Xiaofang instructed, and Shi Shiran left Fuxi Hall.

Yu Dachu put his arm around Ma Xiaohai's shoulders and asked with a gossipy face: "Senior brother, Master has been going out early and returning late these days, is there something to hide from us?" ”

"How do I know?"

"Mao Xiaofang, don't deceive people too much." On the street, a woman with a graceful temperament and fashionable and mature dress walked up to Mao Xiaofang angrily and scolded: "You are very idle, don't you need to catch ghosts, don't you need to deceive gods and ghosts, follow me every day, the ghost will not go away, are you annoying?" ”

Mao Xiaofang said with a righteous face: "Rose girl, you are not bad-hearted, as long as you promise not to steal anything in the future, I will not follow you." ”

"Okay, if you want to follow, then follow, I'll see how long you can follow."

The black rose rushed away, Mao Xiaofang patted his sleeve, and followed step by step, but he didn't know that the dust at this moment was about to face the biggest crisis in his life.

……

It is a dense forest mountain stream more than 20 miles away from Renjia Town.

The vegetation here is luxuriant, the trees are towering, the sunlight is blocked by the fine leaves, it can't shine down, the light is dim, and there is a cold atmosphere everywhere.

The ground was covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves, rotting and deteriorating, half-submerged in the earth, and emitting a pungent stench. A woman dressed in coarse linen and covered in metal accessories sat upright on a black ground, seemingly unconcerned about her surroundings, her eyes closed and her skin glowing with a deep black light.

It's the horse thief gang female thief who has practiced qi sixfold!

Mao Xiaofang's 'Thunder and Lightning Rune' is infinitely powerful, especially for the female thief, a half-human and half-demon warlock, a 'Thunderbolt Rune', two 'Flame Explosion Talisman' have injured her, the reason why she didn't go to Shachen these days to avenge her companions is because the injury has not yet healed, but after a few days of cultivation, it has been fine.

Babbling

Footsteps sounded, five horse thieves in different costumes came over, looked at the female thief from a distance, the horse thief with a cloak and four levels of training qi released his fist, and a paper crane fell to the ground and was trampled into the soil by him.

……

"Young master, it's getting dark, where are we going?" Ade, who was sturdy and stood behind him like an iron tower, scratched his head and asked.

Shachen smiled and said, "Go to Renfu and meet your future young lady." ”

"Is it Miss Ren?"

"Hmm."

"Young master, I heard that Miss Ren's flower and moon appearance are like Chang'e, is it true?"

"Who did you hear that she looks like Chang'e?"

"Everybody says that."

A hint of softness appeared in Shachen's eyes, "She is more beautiful than Chang'e!" ”

"I'm a good girl, it's more beautiful than Chang'e!" Ade's face was full of shock, scratching the back of his head and speechless, in his eyes, Chang'e is a fairy, more beautiful than a fairy, so she won't be the queen mother?

"Good!"

"Thank you all for cheering!"

When passing by a restaurant, Shachen and Ade heard bursts of cheers from inside, very lively, Shachen was a little interested, and squeezed in with Ade, only to see a fat and obscene guy wearing a military uniform and glasses, performing swallowing chopsticks with his mouth open, and the guests around him applauded.

"Lou Nanguang?!" Shachen looked at the fat officer in shock, and muttered to himself, "Lou Nanguang...... Li Saifeng...... It feels familiar, like I've seen ...... in some movie."

Just when Shachen was thinking, a smug laugh sounded in his ears, interrupting Shachen's thoughts, "Swallowing chopsticks is too pediatric." ”

"Wu Yaohan?!"

Seeing the person who spoke, Shachen's eyes were about to pop out.

He was about forty years old, with dark skin, a long face, and a beard on his upper lip.

Hearing him say a big thing, an old man next to him handed him a cane dozens of centimeters in his hand and said, "The chopsticks are too short, use mine." ”
