Chapter 69: Palm

readx;

In the past, when Yang Lin was in the capital, she often dragged Chu Nan to fight, of course, every time she beat someone, Chu Nan blocked her fists, today is too addictive, and I have seen the real fight, although it is not as tragic as the battlefield, but it is enough to make Yang Lin's careful liver pop and puff.

Although he has been protected by Chu Nan in his arms and has not been harmed, when the initial excitement fades, then there is a faint fear, seeing that Chu Nan is finally done, no matter how tired Chu Nan's face is, he begged Chu Nan to accompany him.

Although Chu Nan was exhausted, he still forced a smile and let Yang Lin drag him into the house, patted Yang Lin's head gently, and said with a smile: "You stupid girl also know that you are scared? ā€

Yang Lin stretched out his hand and patted Chu Nan's hand, and muttered with a sad face: "I felt very excited at first, but now I feel so scary, I will definitely not be able to sleep at night, and I will have nightmares when I fall asleep." ā€

Chu Nan stretched out his hand to smooth Yang Lin's wrinkled little face, and said softly: "It's okay, I'm here tonight watching you sleep." I'll go back to sleep when you're asleep. ā€

Seeing that the goal had been achieved, Yang Lin happily dragged Chu Nan to the side of the bed, and said with a smile: "I'm going to sleep now, you just sit here, but you have to talk." ā€

Chu Nan watched Yang Lin get into bed, and couldn't help but lean on the head of the bed to take a rest.

Yang Lin got into the quilt, took off her clothes and put them outside the quilt with a red face, but after all, she was still shy, and finally didn't dare to sleep naked as usual, she was still wearing soft underwear, biting her lip and pulling Chu Nan's sleeves, wrapping herself tightly in the quilt, and said coquettishly: "I'm going to sleep, but I'm not allowed to go." ā€

Chu Nan held Yang Lin's hand and said with a smile: "Then you just hold my hand and sleep, I can't help but run away." ā€

Yang Lin thought about it, held Chu Nan's hand with both hands, felt that Chu Nan's palm was a little cold, Suo dragged it into the quilt, rolled himself up with the quilt, closed his eyes and said: "I'm really going to sleep, don't you climb into my bed at night, my bed is very small." ā€

According to the words in the book, Yang Lin endured shyness and said something provocative about Chu Nan, and when he saw that Chu Nan didn't respond for a long time, he couldn't help but feel a little frustrated, but the book said that men like this set the most.

Yang Lin quietly opened her eyes and found that Chu Nan had fallen asleep leaning on the head of the bed, and there was no smile on her face that had been hanging on her face, frowning as if she was distressed by something in a dream.

It's a pity that I don't have the ability of my sister, and I can't help my brother-in-law. Yang Lin thought sullenly, and reached out to smooth Chu Nan's frowning brows, but found that when his hand left, Chu Nan's brows would furrow again.

Yang Lin pouted, carefully climbed out of the quilt, and couldn't help but shiver when the cold wind blew in the autumn evening. Regardless of whether the spring light will leak out, he knelt on the bed and carefully helped Chu Nan to lie down, then looked at the narrow wooden bed with some embarrassment, muttered something in a low voice, and dragged Chu Nan to the middle of the bed with some effort, carefully covered the quilt, and also got into the quilt and shrunk into a ball on Chu Nan's side.

Chu Nan was dressed very thinly, and the cool air on his body made Yang Lin shiver, as if he felt a warm lump around him, Chu Nan turned over and hugged Yang Lin, who was shrunk into a ball, in his arms, and his cold big hand naturally reached under Yang Lin's clothes.

Yang Lin felt that her skin seemed to touch an ice cube, bared her teeth and grinned for a long time, watching Chu Nan fall asleep, after all, she was not willing to retaliate against Chu Nan, nestled in Chu Nan's arms, gestured to Chu Nan's face a few times, and was surprised to find that she was no longer afraid, thinking about the difference between Ma Shang's nonsense and the second aunt during the day, she blushed a little, and finally fell asleep after thinking about it for a long time.

................................................................................................ Chu Nan took the famous butcher general Ma Shang in the East China Sea to wash the Zhang family with blood, and the matter of washing the Zhang family naturally set off huge waves, whether there will be people in the capital who slap the table and scold the mother in anger and don't need to worry, because it will be at least a few days before the capital digests this shocking news and reacts.

It's just that Jiangnan's reaction can't tolerate Chu Nan's indifference, fortunately, the Jiangnan people's moisture is too heavy, far from the people of Yongzhou in the northwest, if you dare to stare at me, I will dare to kill your whole family's domineering, and even the Zhang family reacted a day later, not to bring the women and children of the Zhang family to Chu Nan desperately, but to put pressure on Jiang Yue, the prefect of Hangzhou, and Jian Rong, the governor of Jiangsu.

Chu Nan finally breathed a sigh of relief, the worst thing expected did not happen, if the Zhang family instigated the ignorant people to besiege the Metropolitan Procuratorate, whether it really caused public anger or not, Jian Rong would take action, and he would also fall into passivity.

Although public opinion is not valuable, when the time is right, even the Ninth Five-Year Emperor does not dare to ignore it.

Sent away several respected squires in Hangzhou City, and Chu Nan let out a long breath.

Regardless of whether these squires were instructed by the Zhang family or not, they still represented the wishes of the people of Hangzhou, at least on the surface.

Wang Defu chuckled and said, "I didn't expect you to be so good-tempered." I originally thought that since you dared to be so ruthless to the Zhang family, you wouldn't be polite to these people. ā€

Chu Nan rubbed his face that was a little stiff with a smile, and said helplessly: "Everyone knows that Hebisheng's case is a hornet's nest, not to mention that I directly smashed this hornet's nest with one rod." Now these are hors d'oeuvres, and the main event is in the back. ā€

As soon as he finished speaking, the guards outside the door hurriedly ran in and said in a low voice: "Two adults, Lord Jiang, the prefect of Hangzhou, has brought someone here." ā€

Chu Nan smiled and nodded, asked people to invite them in, turned around and said to Wang Defu with a smile: "Look, there is another big man." ā€

How much more than one big guy came?!

The four or five people who came with Jiang Yue knew at a glance that their bearing was extraordinary. Listening to Jiang Yue's introduction, one of the kind-faced middle-aged Confucian scholars was Liu Tian, the largest salt merchant in Jiangsu and the head of another large gate in Jiangnan, and the other was a close confidant of Guo Zhun, the prefect of Yangzhou, as for the last one, Chu Nan was really surprised, because that person was the housekeeper of the old mansion of the Chu family now.

Chu Nan didn't know how these people got together, but he could still guess the intentions of these people.

Sure enough, Jiang Yue took the lead and said: "Lord Chu, now that you are in charge of the Metropolitan Procuratorate and are in charge of the case of He Bisheng, this official should not have said anything, but yesterday Lord Chu went too far, Lang Langbai said, he actually washed the Zhang family in blood! Lord Chu, that's hundreds of lives!"

Chu Nan said slowly: "The official's evidence is conclusive, I went to Zhang's Mansion to arrest people, but the Zhang family harbored criminals and tried to resist violently, I just killed those private soldiers and showed mercy." ā€

Jiang Yue's eyes widened, and he smiled angrily: "Haha, Lord Chu means that the official still wants to be grateful to you for showing mercy?" But Lord Chu, Hangzhou has been peaceful for decades, and now such a serious bloody case has suddenly occurred, how can you let me explain to the people of Hangzhou, and how can I explain to Your Majesty?!"

Chu Nan said lightly: "How did the bloody case outside Hangzhou be explained at the beginning, Lord Jiang will do it again." ā€

Jiang Yue said angrily: "Those are pirates, if they die, they will die, but Lord Chu killed the people this time!"

Chu Nan said unceremoniously: "He Bisheng fornicated with the enemy country, the Zhang family harbored important criminals, and Diao people violently resisted the law, and Lord Jiang could explain it like this." ā€

Seeing that the smell of gunpowder was getting stronger and stronger, Liu Tian stood up at the right time and said with a smile: "The two adults are angry, and anger will not solve any problems." Everyone sat down and talked slowly, and if they couldn't talk, they didn't hurt the harmony, no matter how they said it, they were all colleagues, and they had different opinions, most of them were just different angles of considering the problem. ā€

Jiang Yue snorted coldly and sat there sulking, quite dissatisfied with Chu Nan's ignorance of current affairs.

Chu Nan glanced at Liu Tian, who had a humble smile on his face, and felt that this person was extraordinary.

No matter what Liu Tian's intentions are this time, it is rare to be able to persuade Chu Nan and Jiang Yue to be impartial, fair and objective in their disputes, and as the head of a large family, even in the face of juniors like Chu Nan, he has no standing, and has always lowered his posture, no matter what, Chu Nan will not be disgusted.

Chu Nan knows that the Liu family has been suppressed by the Zhang family, and can be regarded as an ally of the Zhang family, this time no matter whether Chu Nan continues to be tough or soft, the Liu family can deal with it freely, and if he continues to be tough, it is a big deal to lose the income of cooperation with the Zhang family and Hebisheng, after all, the main business of the Liu family is a salt merchant, if it is soft, it is better to say, the income will continue to be there, and the Liu family dares to stand up when the Zhang family is facing such a crisis.

Chu Nan nodded and smiled at Liu Tian, and guessed his thoughts, but he didn't know what the Yangzhou prefect Guo Zhun sent everyone for.

The housekeeper, who knew at a glance that he was very shrewd, looked at Chu Nan with a hesitant gaze, and hurriedly got up and reported to the door of his house: "Hello Fifth Young Master, I am Guo Zhong, the new housekeeper arranged by my wife to the old mansion, this is Mr. Nangong, the master of Lord Guo, the prefect of Yangzhou, and I am here to visit the Fifth Young Master today." ā€

Chu Nan frowned, originally the old lady of the Chu family sat in the old mansion, and things were generally taken care of by Chu Yue, but now that Chu Yue and the old lady have gone to the capital, the Chu family can be regarded as having found an opportunity, and it can be regarded as successfully infiltrating their influence into the foundation of the Chu family, Chu Nan didn't care about these things, but it was really strange to think that the Chu family's hundreds of years of clan had a foreign surname take care of it.

Guo Zhun has been the prefect of Yangzhou for many years, and he is Chu An's uncle and Chu Nan's elder, so it is reasonable to come and care about it, Chu Nan has to endure the surname and smile at that Mr. Nangong.

Unexpectedly, that Mr. Nangong was very arrogant, stubbornly raised his head, and said: "Master Guo said, what you did this time is really excessive, the Duke of Yasukuni was angry in the capital and criticized Chu Shangshu, so I think ......"

The deliberately elongated tone of the subdued voice can simply kill people, and between the words, it is either the Duke of Yasukuni or Chu Shangshu, obviously not taking Chu Nan in his eyes, which is more annoying than Li Ling's strategist surnamed Zhuge who was broken leg.

Chu Nan waved his hand in disgust and interrupted the man's words, and said: "Okay, this matter has nothing to do with the Yangzhou prefect, if the Duke of Yasukuni is dissatisfied and let him go to His Majesty, it is useless to find the secretary of the military department!"

Mr. Nangong's face turned red, and he pointed at Chu Nan and said in a trembling voice: "I don't know how to be respectful, I don't know how to educate, I don't know how to count etiquette, and I am insulting!"

Chu Nan said angrily: "What kind of thing are you, just a master, you dare to point fingers at this official without an official or a position! Come on, pull this madman down and throw him on the street!"

Tang Shu stepped forward, mentioned Mr. Nangong, who was still talking about something, and walked outside, Chu Nan glanced at it in disgust, and ordered: "Palm your mouth, say a word and slap your mouth ten times, I will also discipline and discipline this idiot who doesn't know the height of the sky for Governor Guo today." ā€

A few crisp sounds, a few miserable wails, and a few more smooth teeth on the ground, everyone in the room couldn't help but shiver.
