The people on the street suddenly saw a person fleeing in confusion, a person holding a bloody sword, chasing after him like a fierce god, and they all shouted in fright: "Kill, kill—"

The uproar on Wharf Street soon attracted the officials who patrolled the streets: "Who is making trouble?" ”

Liang Han saw Wang Dabeard, couldn't help but weaken his feet, and fell to the ground, but Sun Liang, who killed the red eye, had his back on his back, and didn't see the official messenger arrive, he stabbed Liang Han in the chest with a sword, and he couldn't help but close his eyes when he watched the excitement on all sides, lest there be a terrifying scene of blood.

"Dang" There was a sound of gold and iron, Sun Liang only felt a shock under his hands, it turned out that Liang Han, a thief, actually tied an iron piece to his chest, Sun Liang was furious, raised his hand, and pointed it at Liang Han's neck.

Wang Dabeard's face was sweating like rain, today the county magistrate wanted to inspect the security of Huyang, and sent a few people to follow him, but he didn't expect to encounter such a situation, Sun Liang actually saw himself, and still committed murder, which was too shameless. He didn't receive much of Sun Liang's offerings, but today he has a lot of eyes, and if this is spread to the county government, he won't want to mix it up.

"Follow me and take down this thief!" The bearded man rushed forward first.

The routine that the official had practiced on weekdays, and as soon as the four sticks were inserted forward, Sun Liang was set up, and the short sword was also swept on the wrist by Wang Dabeard's stick, and he fell to the ground with his hand.

Wang Dabeard picked up the short sword and waved his hand angrily: "Take it away!" ”

Sun Liang's mind cleared up a little, and he hurriedly gave Wang Dabeard a look: "My lord, my lord, Sun Liang was confused for a while, please raise your noble hand and let me go." ”

Wang Dabeard twisted his face to the side, and several officials swarmed up, tied Sun Liang like a zongzi, pushed and shoved him to the county office.

As soon as Liang Han got up, he saw three tall officials standing beside him, obediently lowered their heads, and were also escorted to the county office.

The people who watched the excitement slowly dispersed, but Sun Liang and Liang Han were both arrested and went to the county office, and the news spread all over the dock, and many people couldn't help but pray: "Let these two thieves die inside, don't let them out and harm people." ”

Perhaps this call is too high, the county magistrate Lu Can really complied with the public opinion, and two days later, he posted a notice on the wharf: "Diao people Sun Liang, bullying goodness, rampant in the township, is now detained in the county jail, if the people of the wharf have grievances, please go to report as soon as possible, don't do your wish!" ”

Wen Jin saw this notice and said to Sun Dongping behind him: "You go to the county government to run, Sun Liang forced us to pay forty taels of silver protection fee last winter, see if the eldest master can help recover it!" ”

"Yes!"

Which of the merchants in this area has not paid protection money to Sun Liang? There were two bold ones, who followed Sun Dongping, and the timid ones who were still waiting.

Sun Dongping came back from the yamen at lunch, carrying a heavy money bag in his hand, which was quite far away from Wen Jin, so he couldn't help grinning and strode forward: "Son, the county master has returned our silver." ”

For a while, the merchants in this area of the wharf were in a hurry to go to the county office, and most of them waited until the evening to walk back exhausted, saying that it was overcrowded, and the queues were out of the street.

Lu Can got a full inch thick shape and trained Wang Dabeard very much, and then went to the promotion hall.

In the last trial, Liang Han was also kneeling on the side, watching Sun Liang be sentenced to be beheaded with his own eyes, waiting for the approval of the Criminal Department, and being executed after the autumn, his heart was also trembling with fright. He thought that he had saved a small amount of money, so it was better to take the opportunity to break up his brothers, wash his hands and go ashore, and do some righteous business.

Of course, those who went to the county government to complain first got the silver back, and those who went later, the magistrate said that after the Sun family copied the silver, it would no longer be distributed, and only the case was recorded.

All the women in Sun Liang's family were sold officially, the family property was confiscated, and the son was still young, and he was handed over to the orphanage set up by the imperial court to raise.

Soon, Yang Li, the secretary in charge of land and population registration, was kicked out of the county office, and he sold the furniture of his house in Minghu City and returned to his hometown with his family.

Liang Han was sentenced to three years in prison, he paid money to atone for his crimes, and when he returned home, he announced that he would wash his hands in a golden basin and change to a good citizen.

There are disadvantages and advantages to the provincial capital, and Lu Can's exploits soon reached the ears of the political envoy, and he was very satisfied with this subordinate.

Lu Can is very good at interacting with people on weekdays, and the political envoy's praise for him was soon passed on, thinking that this was Wen Han's suggestion, Lu Can glanced at this niece and son-in-law.

Wen Han was very ashamed: "It was Wen Jin's idea, I just perfected it." ”

"You are both still young, it is really not easy to come up with such a good solution, one day, you call your brother over, let's have a meal together."

Wen Han was praised and his self-confidence increased greatly: "My lord, Wen Han has another suggestion, I don't know whether to talk about it or not." ”

"Say it."

"In our library, there are still a lot of items from the house, in addition, like Sun Liang's mansion shop, it is left unattended and abandoned, so it is better to post a notice and sell it publicly. Whoever wants it, quote it by himself, let's get the one with the highest price, convert it into silver, and put it in the treasury, not afraid of the rat bite insect to eat, this is also for the court Sheji. ”

Lu Can thought for a moment, and felt that this plan was very good, so he wrote a note, reported to his superiors, and only waited for the approval before starting to implement it.

When the political envoy saw Lu Can's excerpt, he admired this little magistrate even more, so at the end of a note to the emperor, he mentioned that Lu Can was not only good at appeasing the locality, but also good at managing money and had extraordinary ability. Although the emperor didn't say anything, he remembered Lu Can.

As soon as Sun Liang entered prison, Ouyang Xu's leg was healed, and he came to Wen Jin embarrassedly and asked if he wanted to help build a house. Wen Jin didn't speak at that time, but only glanced at Ouyang Xu.

"Hehe" Ouyang Xu laughed embarrassedly, "I promised Your Excellency, isn't it a problem, and I asked Master Qian Gongzi to ...... a lot" As he spoke, Ouyang Xu himself lost his face, and he lowered his head embarrassedly: "You give three taels of silver a month, and count my compensation for delaying your time." ”

"The quality of my house can't tolerate the slightest sloppiness, and you also know that the cooking hall, if it collapses, it's not good to hurt any of them."

"There will never be quality problems, don't worry, even if I Ouyang Xu doesn't make money, I will never pour my own brand."

Wen Jin pretended to be embarrassed, nodded and agreed, Ouyang Xu is in Minghu City, he is quite famous, Wen Jin doesn't want people to gossip behind his back, or promises to give Ouyang Xu five taels of silver for a month, Ouyang Xu saw that Wen Jin was young, but he was so generous, and he was very grateful for the construction of the house.

What Wen Jin wants is to have a good quality, and of course she is very happy to see that things are developing more and more in her favor.

It didn't take long for Lu Can to receive the above approval, agreeing that he would cash out the furniture and supplies in the warehouse, and before posting the notice, Wen Han first took the registration book to Wen Jin and took a look: "Uncle Lu asked us to pick first, if there is a suitable one, stay here, and he also persuaded me to take my father and mother over." ”

Wen Jin is also not polite, she was still a civilized era in her previous life, and officials can't stop it from operating in the dark, not to mention that it is still a feudal society.

Sun Liang's assets surprised Wen Jin, this guy is fully capable of washing his hands and going ashore and being a good citizen, if he wasn't so greedy, he would still be lying at home and being his rich man.

Wen Jin wanted to open a fruit shop in the rich area, there are seven shops under Sun Liang's name, and there is only one in the rich area, which is three facades, but the house is not conspicuous.

"That's it."

Wen Han looked at it and smiled: "This is good, it's not obvious, it's really a big shop, let my cousin take responsibility, we don't have a face." He thought Wen Jin was not greedy.

Lu Can also thought of going here, and seeing that Wen Han and Wen Jin were so interested, he liked them even more. He only asked Wen Jin to pay 200 taels of silver, and then transferred the shop.

According to Wen Jin's estimate, this shop can't be stopped by 1,500 taels, and she doesn't have so much money in her hand for the time being, so she can only write down Lu Can's kindness and pay it back later.

In the officialdom, Shangfeng's love is everyone's love, plus Wen Han is very modest, and he is very respectful to Lu Can's other master, as well as the master bookkeeper and the head catcher, and when he encounters problems that he doesn't understand, such as money and food, criminal names, etc., he will humbly ask for advice, and afterwards, he will also send snacks or wine and food to express his gratitude.

Lu Can was even more satisfied when he saw that Wen Han was teachable, and the only thing that made him mention it was that Wen Han was too soft-hearted.

"This can't work, you are not as good as your brother, that Sun Liang, since she is in the way, she will find a way to move away, and she will do it in one step, if she doesn't make a move, she will be put to death by the other party, so that he can no longer make waves, this is what a gentleman does."

Wen Han pondered, he already understood that since he had entered the officialdom, he was no longer qualified to be soft-hearted, and political struggles have always been life-and-death.

Liang Han came to Wen Jin with snacks, he only announced that he had washed his hands and gone ashore for a month, and the business of two shops plummeted, and the previous customers were coerced by him, but now people are not afraid, so they naturally change their business partners.

Wen Jin comforted Liang Han: "There will definitely be difficulties in transformation, now, no matter how difficult it is, you must grit your teeth and persevere, treat people sincerely, operate with integrity, even if you lose money, you will not play prestige with a beard and glaring at customers, you must remember that you are a law-abiding businessman, a popular businessman, firmly believe in this, and one day you will get out of the predicament." ”

"But, I don't have a business now, what should I do?"

"Shopkeeper Liang, if you don't have a business, you will lose money, my idea is to let you have a business and not make money, I don't know if you are willing?"

"How can you not make money if you have a business?"

"Drop the price, you lower the price, and then visit the previous customers one by one, express your concessions, express your apologies, and try to save the hearts of customers."

Liang Han used to be brave and ruthless, where did he go through such a battle? Wen Jin's words made him speechless for a while.

"Shopkeeper Liang, everything is difficult at the beginning, you have passed the current level, it will be easy to do later, and you can't give up."

Liang Han was amused by Wen Jin's old-fashioned tone, and his depressed mood was slightly better: "Those villains, bully the soft and fear the hard, I am wholeheartedly good, but they don't buy it, when I don't treat them as people, they don't dare to say half a word." ”

"So, it's hard to be a good person, but no matter how difficult it is, we can't be evildoers, Skynet is restored and negligent, and one day the punishment comes, and the days of the bad guys will come to an end."

Liang Han shuddered when he thought of Sun Liang, and finally agreed, try it according to Wen Jin's words.

Wen Jin is still very wary of people like Liang Han, this is like a time bomb, maybe one day he can't bear it anymore, and he will take the old road, so he sent him out very respectfully, not letting Liang Han find a little mistake.

The house has been built and is being done with the final finishing and retouching, Wen Jin lives in a nearby inn, and after sending Liang Han off, he naturally came over to take a look.

Not far from the hotel, there was a bullock cart with a green cloth shed parked, and a person stared at Wen Jin hatefully through the gap in the curtain.

Wen Jin felt it, and glanced suspiciously in the direction of the ox cart, last winter, she often felt like this, and thought it was Sun Liang, but now, she really can't think of anyone else who has such a big hatred with her. Wen Jin glanced at the ox cart again, but saw that the coachman had already left in a hurry. Since Wen Han suffered a big loss, Wen Jin asked the bodyguards hired by Shiwei Village to follow him every step of the way when he went out, and now, no one wants to harm them anymore.

At the same time, Shang Yunhu reported a very important news to Lu Can: "I sent someone to keep an eye on the Jiang family for a long time, but there was no result, so I had to change my focus on Jiang Dushi, and finally saw a person who was somewhat similar to what Zhang Sanbao said." ”

Lu Can stared at Shang Yunhu with great concern and listened intently.

"This person is Jiang Congyang's father, but he is white-faced and beardless, and the little one is not sure if it is that person, he used to be an account room, he loves to chew words when he speaks, has a Pingling Mansion accent, and is slightly fat."

"Go to the prison and bring Zhang Sanbao out, let him identify it, remember to hide."

"Yes!"

It's a pity that Zhang Sanbao is not sure whether this person is the one who spent money to buy the murderer, firstly, the voice of the voice is wrong, and secondly, this person is fatter than that person.

Shang Yunhu wanted to show his face in front of the magistrate, and finally ended up with such a result, he was very angry, on this day, he drank a little wine and complained a few words of bitterness to Wen Han. He did it on purpose, wanting to show that he had tried his best, Wen Han was much more shrewd than before, and immediately understood what Shang Yunhu meant, he smiled: "Shang Zhutou has worked hard, another day, my brother's hotel will open, I will definitely invite you to have a good drink." ”

"This is exempt, my brother really can't check it out."

Wen Han suddenly had an idea: "Why don't you take me to take a look, since he wants to harm me, maybe he is someone I know." ”

Shang Yunhu heard it: "Ah, it's such a reason." ”

A few days later, Shang Yunhu came to Wen Han: "Brother Qian, come with me." ”

The two went out, hired an ox cart with a shed, and came to a place not far from the wharf, and at dusk, a man in a moon-white robe passed two paces away from the ox cart.

As soon as Wen Han saw that familiar face, his whole body trembled, and he didn't scream when he pressed it, the man walked away and entered a small courtyard, and Shang Yunhu asked the coachman to return.

"Does my brother know him?"

Wen Han replied: "Send me to the Chunlai Inn, I want to go to see my brother." ”

Shang Yunhu did not doubt him, so he asked the coachman to turn around and find Wen Jin.

Seeing Wen Han coming, Wen Jin was naturally very happy: "Brother, oh, Lord Shang, you two are so blessed, I will cook it myself today." ”

Shang Yunhu couldn't help laughing, Wen Jin's craftsmanship, he had heard of it a long time ago.

Wen Jin was in the Chunlai Inn, chartered a three-room courtyard, with a small kitchen, today Pomegranate is inconvenient, so she will do it herself.

Boil a pot of white fungus lotus seed glutinous rice porridge, stir-fry a shredded mushroom meat, a bamboo shoot and garlic sprout braised pork, blanch alfalfa sprouts, put peppercorns and dried spicy seeds on top and cut them into sections, splash them with hot oil, and then add soy sauce, vinegar and salt to mix cold.

The staple food is steamed bread, people in Liangzhong Province like to eat steamed bread in the morning and evening, and some people also eat steamed bread and noodles for lunch, and there are not many people who eat rice.

Shang Yunhu smiled when he ate, but in Wen Han's eyes, there was occasional resentment and sadness.

After eating, Wen Jin gave Wen Han a look under the pretext of making tea.

"What kind of tea does Lord Shang like? I'll help you choose. ”

"I like the big scent."

"Hehe, that's the incense piece." Wen Han said, walking to the kitchen with Wen Jin.

"What's on my brother's mind?"

"Wen Jin, I saw the person who hurt me."

"Who?" Seeing Wen Han's eyes red, Wen Jin's heart tightened.

"Money is expensive first, he is money first!" Hatred stained Wen Han's eyes red, and he clenched his fists tightly, hating to break that villain into pieces.

Qian Xiangui couldn't occupy the money of the second room, and he was jealous that the life of the second room was getting better and better, and he was so ruthless, Wen Jin was surprised, but he didn't feel how difficult it was to accept, how cold-blooded and vicious this person was, from the fact that he married his daughter to an old and stubborn man, it can be seen a little.

Qian Xiancheng and his wife only have Wen Han's son, if he has an accident, then the couple will not have the courage to live, Qian Xiangui hates Wen Jin the most, if he succeeds, he will definitely kill the killer, and when the time comes, the assets of the second room will not all belong to him?

Wen Jin figured this layer through and patted Wen Han's arm soothingly: "Let's discuss it and see how to avenge this arrow." "Wen Han is now basically familiar with Jurong's law, and knows that without Zhang Sanbao's certificate, he can't convict Qian Xiangui, but just let that guy go, how can he and Wen Jin be willing? After eating, sending away Shang Yunhu, Wen Han and Wen Jin continued to discuss, there will be a curfew for a while, Wen Han wants to stay for one night, Wen Jin asked Pomegranate to decorate, anyway, there are three rooms here, Wen Jin and Pomegranate each live one, and there is a small ear room empty.
