Chapter 33 Phoenix County

At that time, Gan Tang's parents and brother were killed by mountain bandits not far from Tan County.

The group of mountain bandits are still at large, Gan Tang hated it very much, she didn't want to poke out the gold and silver jewelry shop shopkeeper and the Qian family's embarrassment, but she was stimulated at that time, and she didn't leave room for the gold and silver shop shopkeeper to talk.

Now that this situation has appeared, she is afraid of the Qian family, and the Qian family is also afraid of her, why don't she take advantage of it.

"What Miss Gan said, I will discuss it carefully with my lord and never disclose it before that." Mrs. Qian said solemnly.

Gan Tang was slightly stunned, she thought that the Qian family, who was mixed with black and white, would hesitate when she asked for a list of mountain bandits, after all, maybe there were nearby mountain bandits who protected the Qian family's salt business.

Gan Tang had another doubt in his heart.

"In this way, thank you Mrs. Qian."

……

On the second day, Gan Tang had breakfast, and someone outside came to report, "Girl, the person you are looking for has gone down to the corridor." ”

Gan Tang was overjoyed, "Please come in." ”

It's not like yesterday I saw the shopkeeper of the two shops and his family, Gan Tang was lazy, and now I see this person, Gan Tang stood behind the screen when he was waiting for the person to enter the room.

"The villain has seen the girl of the main family." Listen carefully, there is a faint excitement in the voice that is not old but not young.

Gan Tang hurriedly asked him to get up, and moved a chair for him to sit down and talk.

"Thank you, little girl."

"Uncle Wang, I should thank you. You weren't my Gan's slave before, but since you were maliciously driven away, you still take care of the shop left by my father, so that those two villains won't ruin my shop. "If you say it, Gan Tang blessed Uncle Wang through the screen.

Uncle Wang hurriedly said that he couldn't stand it, and he wanted to get up.

Mu Xiang walked out of the screen, helped Uncle Wang back to the chair, and then took out a handkerchief to wipe Uncle Wang's tears.

At that time, Uncle Wang was the shopkeeper of the jade shop, and then he was suddenly replaced with the shopkeeper of the gold and silver jewelry shop.

Later, the shopkeeper of the jade shop gave him a loop, but he worked in the jade shop for four years and refused to leave no matter what.

Since Gan Tang knew about this, he decided to bring Uncle Wang back to his original position and take charge of the two shops, doubling the monthly silver.

"The first master of the family is kind, never treats us harshly, the villain doesn't know the big truth, but he knows who is good to the villain, the villain is good to whom, the girl said that the villain is loyal, the villain is unbearable, in fact, the villain is also very affectionate to the jade shop, and he is really reluctant to go." Uncle Wang was earnest.

"Uncle Wang, hearing what you said, my heart is very ironing, so I have a proposal, and I ask Uncle Wang to see if I can respond to it."

Gan Tang smiled and informed him of his intentions.

Uncle Wang immediately grateful, "I, this, the girl of the main family, are you willing to hire me, an old and dizzy little man, to take care of those two shops?" After nearly 20 years of work in the jade shop, the villain has long regarded the jade shop as his home, and the villain ...... "Uncle Wang is really poor in words, so he can only express his gratitude with actions, and he kneels down and kowtows again without waiting for Mu Xiang to stop him."

Uncle Wang is a person of Chi Chen, Gan Tang's father was the head of the family, the head of the family, with countless properties under his name, and the shopkeeper of a small jade shop, it is difficult to see him for several years.

But Uncle Wang started from the running hall in the jade shop, and finally became the shopkeeper, the leader of the jade shop, he always felt that it was the master's family who knew people and made good use of them, so he promoted the humble one, so he respected Gantang's father and Gantang very much.

Gan Tang was moved by Uncle Wang's sincerity, and she believed that such a person would never allow what the two shopkeepers had done in the past to happen.

Gan Tang instructed Uncle Wang some more things, and then asked the soldiers to go to the two shops to give orders, and announced Uncle Wang's reappointment as the shopkeeper of the two shops, and planned to leave Tan County.

In the next half month, Gan Tang went to four more counties, inspected eight shops and hundreds of acres of fertile land, and dealt with 16 stewards who were greedy and full of bad water on the spot.

Then Lu Xun helped the people on the list in her purse before, and recommended reliable people to fill the vacancy, and for a while, although the weather was getting colder and colder, they felt warm in their hearts like Muxiang and others.

On this day, they arrived in a new county seat to teach Fenghuang County, and they just entered the house.

Mu Li ran over happily, "Girl, girl, good news." Drunken Xun'er wrote to say that recently, their hands had cramps when they counted the money at home, and they couldn't hold the chopsticks steadily when eating. ”

Gan Tang had no fixed residence outside, so she punished the wicked, and when she urged those people to make up for the money they owed her, she asked them to send the money to Yan Long Bian's mansion.

Every time she goes to a place, she will leave a government soldier to supervise, and after the government soldier has dealt with the things she has explained, she will find large troops and large troops from nearby states and counties on the travel table according to the travel schedule that she has set before.

Here, if something happens to the drunken Xun'er in Yan Long, the government soldiers can also bring a letter over.

Now that Yan Long is calm, Gan Tang has also learned the news of Lu Xun, and the uneasiness before the trip has long disappeared.

"I see that you are very envious, why don't you go back and count it again, and try the feeling of cramps in your hands?" Gan Tang joked.

Mu Li rubbed his hands, and then shook his head, "It's still not possible, first, I'm afraid that I'll count wrongly, and secondly, I won't be able to hold the double knife if my hands are cramping, but I still have to protect you, girl." ”

"Poor mouth, it's getting late today, I don't want to see anyone, Ming'er is letting those stewards take the blame."

When it came to business, Mu Li was upset, "It's the girl, those innocent women, Mama Li and Mu Xiang have placed them in place." ”

……

Fenghuang County is a county town very close to Fengyang City, it is said that many years ago someone saw Phoenix Nirvana here, this matter spread more and more, the imperial court changed its name to Phoenix County.

This county has a flow of people and the size of the city is actually about the same as other counties.

But because of the thriving wine industry here, the county is quite wealthy.

People wearing fine linen brocade clothes can be seen everywhere in the city, and even the Jinyulou, which is quite famous in the imperial capital Yanlong, has a branch here.

But such a county town has brought together the world's biggest evil - abducting and selling young girls and forcing them to make a living from prostitution.

In fact, this phenomenon was even more rampant more than 20 years ago, when countless lives were caused, and countless people in cloth would rather be punished than sue the emperor, causing the anger of the Son of Heaven, and its rampant was vigorously suppressed by the government.

Later, there were still some lawbreakers who set up secret prostitution parlors in private to force those girls and women who were abducted by them to commit adultery, but once discovered, it was a felony.

In the past, Gan Tang's father attached great importance to this place, not only because the wine industry here was prosperous and could make money, but also because of the slightest carelessness, the people below would be involved in the crime of abduction and trafficking, and their Gan family's reputation would fall into a place of no return.

Therefore, in the past, Gantang's father came here to inquire in four seasons throughout the year, and his winery Grange and Villa were clean and clear.

Gan Tang knew that it was not long ago that the only orderly restaurant that was managed by his father was set up a secret prostitution parlor.

When she first heard about it, she was shocked and scared.

The fear of being kidnapped gathered again for a long time, and I had nightmares for several nights.

Then she reported directly to the official, and ordered someone to suspend the restaurant business here, and be sure to give those innocent women a proper placement.

Day 2.

Several middle-aged men who had been beaten and bruised knelt in the snow, wailing incessantly.

Gantang only does it indoors and doesn't smell it.

After a while, Mu Xiang came over and said, "Girl, someone has fainted." ”

Gan Tang sneered, "Don't they have other backers?" What are you crying in front of me now? Looking at me as young, will I listen to their nonsense and then let them go? ”

Before Gan Tang came to Fenghuang County, these stewards were all arrested in the government because of her reporting officer, but they were all released yesterday, kneeling at her place to beg for mercy with a bruised face that had been beaten.

Originally, Gan Tang was still puzzled, and secretly thought that their family had redeemed it with money, but all this became clear when Gan Tang met Second Uncle Gan's housekeeper.

Speaking of which, since Second Uncle Gan was kicked by the fourth uncle a few months ago and vomited blood, Gan Tang has not seen him.

However, this does not mean that Gan Tang does not know his recent situation, at the beginning, the Gan family summoned four or five doctors a day to see a doctor, and after more than a month, the doctors were not in the house, but the little guy who went to the pharmacy to get medicine ran a lot of times a day, until she came out of Yan Long, and the second uncle Gan had not gone out yet, and his eldest son came forward to deal with everything outside.

And this morning, Gan Tang learned about Second Uncle Gan's visit to Phoenix, and immediately she understood why the group of stewards could come out.

In Tan County, when the two shopkeepers did something bad for the first time, they were worried in their hearts, and later they were really discovered, but after the new head of the Gan family learned about it, he took pity on them that their life was not easy, and gave them a monthly increase without any punishment, which greatly increased their evil thoughts.

Now in Fenghuang County, a good restaurant has become a secret prostitution hall, and Gan Tang doesn't believe that there is no second uncle Gan to help the trouble.

Second Uncle Gan is indeed the one who allows the manager of the shop under Gan Tang's name to be a demon, and four years ago, he even specially selected the kind of person with a bad mind to manage Gan Tang's shop.

At first, he thought that Gan Tang would marry in Xichuan, and he would not take care of everything here, so he was particularly reckless.

Later, Gan Tang and Lu Xun were given marriage, and he asked those demon people to restrain themselves, but Gan Tang came back from Xichuan too quickly, so that he didn't have time to arrange and pick himself clean.

Later, he was kicked by his fourth uncle and was seriously injured, so he could only recuperate on the couch, and then he fell into Gantang again.

If it weren't for Brother Lobby meeting Gan Tang when he was in Tan County, and then reporting the news back to Yan Long, Second Uncle Gan would never have imagined that the Gan Tang people would have to go out to clean up before they had a firm foothold in Yan Long.
