Just when Zhou Qiang was enjoying the happiness of marriage.

Wang Ju's family in Wangzhuang was sad.

"What should I do now?" A fifty-six-year-old man with gray hair.

He is Wang Juren, and his figure is a little rich, but his face is not good-looking now.

"Lao Zhang is an old man in the family, so he shouldn't talk nonsense." Wang Juren's eldest son, Wang Boss also has a gloomy face, about thirty years old, wearing a Mao suit, being an official in Zishui County, very good at being a man, and having a good relationship with colleagues.

Lao Zhang is the housekeeper of Wang Ju's family.

The contact with Bald Ridge was arranged by Lao Zhang.

The arrested Wang family guards recruited Lao Zhang.

After Zhou Qiang sent the bandits and the Wang family's guards to the Governor's Mansion, it didn't take long for Lao Zhang, the housekeeper of the Wang Ju family, to be arrested.

Under normal circumstances, if Zishui County arrests people, they will not be able to arrest the Wang family. After all, the Wang family is the head snake of Zishui County.

But it was the Governor's Palace that captured the people.

The Wang family has nothing to do with the Governor's Palace.

Although I know a few officials in the provincial capital, I only know each other, and I don't have too deep friendships, and people don't care about the land-sitting households in Zishui County.

"I'm not afraid of 10,000, but I'm afraid of what if." Wang Juren was still a little worried.

"Dad, why don't I take Zhang Bin of Lao Zhang's family to the provincial capital and see Lao Zhang together?" Wang Juren's second son, Wang Lao'er's face is ruthless. This time against Zhou Qiang, Wang Lao Er was the first to put forward.

Zhang Bin is the son of Lao Zhang.

Wang Lao Er took Zhang Bin to the provincial capital, seemingly caring about Lao Zhang, but in fact, he used Zhang Bin to threaten Lao Zhang and asked Lao Zhang not to talk nonsense.

"You can try. Think of ideas, meet Lao Zhang first, and stabilize Lao Zhang. Boss Wang nodded in agreement. He also thought of this solution, but he didn't say it, just waiting for the 'smart' second child to say it.

Including the previous plan for Zhou Qiang, Boss Wang also had this idea, but deliberately did not say it. Boss Wang knew that Boss Wang would definitely say it.

In this way, the bad things are all proposed by Wang Laoer, and it will not affect Wang Lao's 'good' name.

"If Lao Zhang is disobedient, I will never let him open his mouth!" Wang Lao Er's face was fierce. Killing people and killing people, Wang Lao Er didn't do too much.

"Humph!" Wang Juren was a little dissatisfied and snorted coldly, looked at Boss Wang, and then looked at Elder Wang, "How many times have I told you, don't act recklessly, you always don't listen."

Lao Zhang is an old man in the family, and he knows too many things, so he can't force him.

It's okay to go to the provincial capital, but you can't take Zhang Bin with you, just go alone. ”

Wang Juren thought more.

He didn't feel the need to take Lao Zhang's son to the provincial capital.

That's too threatening.

You only need to go to the provincial capital, meet Lao Zhang, and care about it, and you don't need to take the initiative to mention Lao Zhang's family.

Lao Zhang will bring it up.

When Lao Zhang mentioned it, he said that he must take good care of Lao Zhang's family. It works better that way.

"I'll just go." Wang Lao Er agreed.

It's just that Wang Lao Er has some disdain in his eyes.

Wang Lao Er felt that Wang Juren was old, had too many concerns, and was soft-hearted and useless. Boss Wang pretended to be a hypocrite. The entire Wang family's lineage, he is the best Wang Lao.

"It's still Dad's thoughtfulness." Boss Wang complimented.

"Alas" Wang Juren sighed, shook his head, and looked at Wang Er, "Second child, is there still your handwritten letter in Bald Ridge?" ”

"Yes." Wang Lao Er also knew that he should not write letters. But when I was doing things, I didn't notice it and was negligent.

"This letter is also a hidden danger." Wang Juren still had a sad face. He felt that this matter involved the provincial capital, which was very troublesome and difficult to deal with.

"Dad, should be alright?" Wang Lao Er disagreed.

"Are you alright?" Wang Juren sneered, just about to speak.

At this time, someone from outside came.

Zhang Bin came in in with a panicked face, "Master, someone from my family is here." ”

"What?"

"The people of Bald Ridge have come to my house." Zhang Bin whispered.

"What? What are they doing here? Wang Lao Er was shocked.

Wang Lao Er didn't expect the bandits to dare to find Wang Zhuang, this is looking for death.

"This." Zhang Bin paused, "They said that we should compensate five hundred oceans, and we must find a way to rescue the people who were captured by the provincial capital, otherwise, they will send the letter from the second master to the governor's mansion." ”

Zhang Bin's pause just now was selfish.

The bandits of Bald Ridge demanded that the bandits who had been captured alive be rescued.

Zhang Bin changed this sentence and asked everyone who was arrested to be rescued, so that Zhang Bin's father and housekeeper Zhang should also be rescued.

"Bastard!" The king was furious.

"How can it be!" Boss Wang was furious.

"I'm going to kill them!" Wang Lao Er was also angry.

Several members of the Wang family were furious, but after the rage, no one spoke.

Only Wang Juren's rough panting.

Wang Juren was old and in poor health, and when he was angry, he gasped.

Wang Laoer's handle was held by the bandits. The Wang family is a little passive.

Similar to embattled, the provincial governor's mansion, the Bald Ridge bandits, and the Bailuyuan Zhou Qiang are all hostile to the Wang family.

A moment later.

Wang Juren and Wang Lao Er didn't know what to do, and they were still silent.

Boss Wang glanced at it, "Dad, second brother, see if this is feasible."

Call back to the people in Bald Ridge first, and say that we are trying to find a way to save people.

But the provincial capital is not Zishui County, so it is not so convenient to do things, and it will take some more time.

As for the five hundred oceans," Boss Wang paused and continued, "I heard that in this attack, there were fifty or sixty dead and wounded in Bald Ridge, and dozens of guns were lost, and it was indeed a heavy loss.

We can compensate, but five hundred oceans is too much.

Zhang Bin, if you discuss with them, you will say that you will give a maximum of two hundred oceans.

In addition, we can help find a way to buy the guns they lost, but they have to pay for them. ”

"That's fine." Wang Juren nodded and agreed.

"Okay." Wang Lao Er also agreed.

"Go talk back." Boss Wang sent Zhang Bin away.

After Zhang Bin left, Boss Wang continued: "Dad, second brother, now that the Wang family is in danger, we must unite and unite with the outside world, so that we can tide over the difficulties." ”

Boss Wang said this because there was also a struggle within the Wang family.

Not to mention the struggle between the Wang family's descendants and the collateral lineage.

Let's just talk about the Wang family's lineage.

Wang Juren, Wang Lao, Wang Lao Er, and the three of them, there are a lot of filth.

"Not bad. Boss, do you have a plan? Wang Juren agreed not to fight among themselves.

"We are divided into three ways as soldiers" Boss Wang had some strategy in his chest, and quickly thought of a way to solve the current crisis.

"Good!"

"Great goodness! It's still the big brother's old plan! ”

White Deer Village.

Zhou Qiang asked people to set up a carriage and take Tian Xiao'e to look at the family's property.

on a hillside.

Zhou Qiang pulled Tian Xiao'e.

They are a gentleman.

One is as beautiful as a flower, graceful, and glamorous.

They are together, like a fairy couple, envious of others.

"Xiao'e, you see, the hills over there are all from our family, and they are planted with artichoke and artichoke.

Both of these things are drought-tolerant and easy to live.

The potato sticks fried by our family were sold to the capital and the magic capital.

There are also pickles made from artichokes, which are also sold all over the country.

Earn every year"

"So much?" Tian Xiao'e covered her mouth and exclaimed.

"Yes, it's all my secret recipe. Our family's secret recipe, when you give birth to a son, I will pass it on to my son. Zhou Qiang adheres to the principle of passing on the inside but not the outside, and the man but not the woman.

"Okay." Tian Xiao'e smiled shyly.

Zhou Qiang took Tian Xiao'e and continued to turn.

Arrived, the place where sake brewing and tofu grinding.

"Xiao'e, here is the old wine of the Zhou family, and over there is Zhou Ji tofu.

I started out by making sake and grinding tofu. ”

"Brother Qiang, you are really capable." Tian Xiao'e's eyes lit up and she looked adoring.

"Of course, I'm the most capable!" Zhou Qiang's face was proud, and his eyes were deep.

A moment later.

Pang An summoned everyone over, bowed his hands and said, "I've seen the boss, I've seen the boss!" ”

"Everyone listen, in the future, Xiao'e's words are my words, and you must do what she tells you to do well." Zhou Qiang said casually, which can be regarded as letting everyone know Tian Xiao'e.

"Yes!"

Bai Jiaxuan's house.

Zhou Qiang brought Tian Xiao'e here, and brought some braised meat and wine.

Tian Xiao'e's name has entered the ancestral hall.

The incense was handed by Bai Jiaxuan himself.

"Xiaoqiang, Xiao'e, are you here?" Xian Cao hurriedly greeted.

"Sister-in-law, where's the patriarch?"

"Jiaxuan, he's gone to the field." Bai Jiaxuan still serves the fields every day, in order to fetch more food.

Bai Jiaxuan is an excellent farmer.

The earth is all to him.

Xiancao brewed tea and asked, "Do you want to call Jiaxuan back?" ”

"No need, sister-in-law, it's okay, just bring Xiao'e over to recognize the door, and come and go often in the future."

"It's time to have more dealings." Xiancao looked at Tian Xiao'e, walked closer, took Tian Xiao'e's hand, and whispered.

didn't stay long, Zhou Qiang and Tian Xiao'e left quickly.

After that, I went to Lu Zilin's house again

Zhou Qiang knew that Lu Zilin was not at home and was in the security center, so he brought Tian Xiao'e here.

Lu Zilin is a bad embryo, and Zhou Qiang doesn't want Tian Xiao'e to see Lu Zilin.

"Boss Zhou is here? Zilin is not here, are you okay? "Lu He and Zhou Qiang are very polite, and the relationship is not so close.

"It's okay, just bring Xiao'e over to recognize the door." Zhou Qiang smiled and put down the gift casually, "Xiao'e, Luxiang is about to be our township of ten miles and eight townships, and if you manage ten patriarchs, you have a lot of power." ”

Zhou Qiang said a few words of business, said hello to Lu Taiheng, and left.

"Xiao'e, our Bailu Village, Bai Jiaxuan is okay, he doesn't have any bad intentions for people, he can go to his house often.

The Lu Zilin's house I went to just now.

This Lu Zilin is not a good thing.

Lu Zilin often fooled around with the people in the village, and often went to Widow Li's house at night. ”

Zhou Qiang continued to take Tian Xiao'e around the village, and by the way, he told a lot about Bailu Village.

Most of the villagers were respectful to Tian Xiao'e.

Many people in the village are working for Zhou Qiang.

The village women all looked at Tian Xiao'e with some envy.

Tian Xiao'e blushed a little and was a little happy.

The situation on Zhou Qiang's side made Tian Xiao'e very satisfied.

Turned around for a while.

Back home.

The family also invited a cook to cook, Lu Ziping.

Lu Ziping's family has been a cook for several generations.

The meals cooked were good.

Zhou Qiang invited him over and let him cook for a long time.

Tian Xiao'e doesn't need to cook, she just needs to go to the kitchen and give an order.

It didn't take long for the meal to be ready.

The two ate together.

At this time, Lao Fan came.

"The owner, the sixth child sent back the news from the provincial capital, saying that the second child of the Wang family went to the provincial capital, and also went to prison, and met the housekeeper Lao Zhang."

Before, the Wang family divided the army into three routes.

Along the way, Wang Lao Er led the team to the provincial capital, met Lao Zhang, and then contacted people he knew, dredged up the relationship, and saw if he could turn big things into small things and small things into nothing.

On the second road, Zhang Bin contacted the Baldhead Ridge bandits, and while stabilizing the bandits, he tried to find a way to burn the letter from the bandits.

Three ways, contact Zhang Matchmaker to find Zhou Qiang, the daughter of the Wang family married Zhou Qiang, not only did not want a bride price, but also married two shops.

This is Boss Wang's method of 'dividing the soldiers into three ways'.

Now, Wang Laoer's actions in the provincial capital have been seen by Zhou Qiang here.

In addition, Mrs. Zhang is already on her way here.

Zhang Bin also went to Bald Ridge.

"What did they say?" Zhou Qiang asked while eating. The actions of the Wang family were all expected by Zhou Qiang.

"I don't know what I said, I should tell that old man to shut up."

"Hmm" Zhou Qiang nodded, "What else did Wang Lao Er do?" ”

"Wang Lao Er lives in the inn and sent someone to send a greeting post to a few officials."

"This is to dredge up the relationship, don't worry about him for now, let him find someone." Zhou Qiang was a little unconcerned.

"Okay." Lao Fan left.

It didn't take long.

Lao Fan is here again.

"The owner, that matchmaker is here again, saying that there is something good and I want to see you."

"What is she here for? Get out! Zhou Qiang frowned, not wanting to see Mrs. Zhang.

"This, the owner, Mrs. Zhang said that the Wang family is willing to marry their daughter, and they have no requirements, no bride price, and they are willing to marry two shops."

Lao Fan's words made Tian Xiao'e's face turn white in an instant.

Tian Xiao'e had heard about the Wang family, and it was Mrs. Li who told her.

If the daughter of the Wang family marries Zhou Qiang. Tian Xiao'e is likely to be bullied, because Tian Xiao'e's mother's family has no one to rely on.

"Get rid of it!" Zhou Qiang was a little impatient.

"Alas, well." Lao Fan hurriedly went out.

Tian Xiao'e carefully helped Zhou Qiang pick up the vegetables, but she didn't dare to say anything.

"Xiao'e, don't worry, no matter how many women enter the door in the future, you are a big house, they have to listen to you, call you sister." Zhou Qiang's words were very shameless in later generations, but in this era, even if he has a conscience.

"Huh? Good, good. Tian Xiao'e was stunned for a moment, a little relieved. Her mother's family has no support, and she is most afraid of falling out of favor with Zhou Qiang.

Provincial capital.

Wang Lao Er visited several houses.

"We don't know about this, so let's inquire again."

The reply that Wang Lao Er got was all shirk.

Without understanding what was going on, no one was willing to come forward to help Wang Lao Er settle the matter of bandit robbery.

Wang Lao Er continued to think about his ideas in the provincial capital and find a way.

Mrs. Zhang took a closed door and went back to return to the Wang family.

"I can't see anyone!

Boss Zhou won't see me!

I can't help it. Mrs. Zhang complained. Because the Wang family didn't give the reward.

Boss Wang was a little puzzled: "Have you said all the conditions we gave?" ”

Boss Wang felt that he had already given Zhou Qiang a lot of face. Zhou Qiang should not agree.

"I've said it, I've said it, but I just can't get in." Mrs. Zhang looked helpless, and there was a little schadenfreude.

The Wang family asked Mrs. Zhang to run a few times, but she didn't give the reward, and Mrs. Zhang was a little dissatisfied.

"You go get a cup of tea and take a break." Boss Wang sent Mrs. Zhang to the side hall.

"How's that good?" Wang Juren had a sad face.

It's all bad news here for the Wang family.

On the side of the provincial capital, although he saw Lao Zhang and stabilized himself and did not talk nonsense, there was no progress in other matters.

On the side of Bald Ridge, Zhang Bin also met with the bandits, but the bandits only asked for a sky-high price, and did not have the attitude to solve the problem. If you don't give five hundred oceans, the bandits will send a letter to the provincial capital at any time.

Zhou Qiang's side, he couldn't see the main owner at all.

Boss Wang's three strategies don't seem to be of much use.

Boss Wang thought for a while, "Dad, for today's plan, only I will go to Bailuyuan." ”

"Oh?"

"Not only will I go, but my little sister Swift will also go with me." Boss Wang already has a plan.

Boss Wang wants to give his sister Yuyan to Zhou Qiang to settle the matter.

Because, the beginning of the matter began with the Swift marriage, so it also ended with the marriage.
