Chapter XVIII: Spoils and Petitions

On the Guanyun Platform in the back mountain, Guan Er took out a stack of thick silver tickets from his arms and said to Zhao Ran: "Brother Zhao, this time I will remove the capital you gave, and I will get back eight thousand taels in total, and Brother Zhao must not be able to look down on the hundreds of taels of silver, so he didn't bring it." The silver tickets are here, please check Brother Zhao. ”

Zhao Ran took the silver tickets by the moonlight, and saw that these silver tickets were all large face values, mostly one hundred or two hundred, and a few fifty taels, which shows the size of the gambling game tonight!

"Where's your grange?

"Thank you Brother Zhao for your concern, rest assured, that signature has been burned by me. When he said this, Guan Erchang let out a sigh, and the smile on his face was extremely happy.

"You didn't keep any of this silver?"

"If you can win the Grange back, Guan knows enough...... The most important thing is that there is no loss of **, so that the family is ruined...... Thanks to Brother Zhao's great kindness, how dare Guan do what he thinks again?"

Zhao Ran nodded, took out three thousand taels from the silver ticket, and stuffed it into Guan Er's arms: "This is what you lost last time?"

Guan Er hurriedly said: "How can this be done, Brother Zhao take it back quickly!" and stuffed the silver ticket into Zhao Ran's arms.

Zhao Ran waved his hand: "Look up to me, when I am a friend, you can take it, okay?"

Guan Er's face was flushed, he looked at Zhao Ran, hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded heavily.

Zhao Ran calculated, and the silver tickets in his hand added up to a total of eight thousand taels, and they were stacked like a thick book. He didn't have any property, and so far, he was still sleeping in a room with others, and at the same time, there were few trusted relatives who could keep it on his behalf, so he simply counted out a small denomination of 1,000 taels of silver tickets and stuffed them in his arms, and put the remaining 7,000 taels back into the package and handed them over to Guan Shuang.

"These silver tickets, please also ask Second Brother Guan to keep them on my behalf, your Weiyuan Dart Bureau has a big business, and it must be much safer to store them with you. ”

"This ......" Guan Er's face instantly turned purple, and he was speechless for a moment. He didn't expect Zhao Ran to do this at all, you know, this is seven thousand taels of silver tickets, which is definitely a lot of property, but Zhao Ran easily handed it over to himself. Oh my God, what a lot of trust that has to be!

Guan Er vowed: "Brother Zhao, rest assured, tomorrow is the right time to rest, and then I will go down the mountain and put these silver tickets back to the dart board properly." As long as the Weiyuan dart game is still there, Brother Zhao's silver is there, and he will never live up to Brother Zhao's trust!"

"By the way, there is one more thing to ask Second Brother Guan. I have an uncle Zhao in Zhaozhuang, Shiquan County, who is humble, and he and Aunt Zhao take care of me a lot on weekdays. I also asked Second Brother Guan to find a trustworthy person to go to Zhaozhuang, add one or two hundred acres of land to his family, build a few spacious tiled houses, and buy some useful household goods, which can be regarded as my return to him. One should cost me a lot. ”

Guan Er nodded: "Brother Zhao is really a kind person, rest assured, the money spent is not a big amount, Brother Zhao doesn't have to worry about it." ”

Zhao Ran was not polite to him, and nodded in thanks.

So the two of them were full of ambition and turned back to Wuji Courtyard. How excited Zhao Ran was that night was inexplicably needless to mention, and said that the next day, after breakfast, Zhao Ran was yawning and preparing to go back to the house to sleep, but now Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai had already removed their firework robes and changed their clothes.

Both of them are a water of Shu brocade robes, with jade pendants on their waists, and good cotton boots on their feet.

It turned out that it was a day of rest, and these two were not even willing to sleep, and were going to go to Guyang County to take a chic walk, which was to take Zhao Ran together, saying that it was to let him see the prosperity of Guyang County. Speaking of which, this is the first time Zhao Ran has taken a break since he came to Wuji Courtyard, in fact, he is also a little excited, but after all, playing with his heart can't stop the sleepiness, and he is still not used to reversing his life day and night, so he has to express his deep regret.

These two relied on not going out, and persuaded hard. Zhao Ran is a more transparent person, and after a little pondering, he understood the intentions of these two people. At that time, he took twenty taels of silver, and one of them gave ten taels, saying that he would borrow it temporarily, and he would return it when he had the money in the future. When the two of them went down the mountain happily, Zhao Ran fell asleep on the bed.

Not long after he fell asleep, Zhao Ran was woken up by a sound of slamming the door, he got up and opened the door with confused eyes, but it was Yu Zhiyuan, the head of the guest hall. As soon as Yu Zhiyuan saw Zhao Ran, he said happily: "Fortunately, you didn't leave, otherwise you almost missed it, so get up quickly and go down the mountain with me." ”

It turned out that the Zhou Governor of Long'an Mansion held an elegant gathering in Beacon Mountain, and Yu Zhiyuan also got an invitation. It is said that this collection is mainly based on calligraphy and painting, and many famous calligraphers and painters from the left and near Long'an Mansion have been invited to participate, and they are investing in the good of Zhiyuan. It's just that the servants who came to deliver the stickers were delayed on the way, and they arrived at Wuji Mountain early this morning.

Bijia Mountain is located in the southeast of Long'an Mansion City, northwest of Guyang County, less than 30 miles away from Wuji Mountain. Fortunately, the official road is spacious, so it only takes an hour to arrive by horse-drawn carriage. As for the carriage, because the Wuji Courtyard is closed today, there are already many chariots waiting at the bottom of the mountain. Everyone knows that the senseimen in Wuji Courtyard are still Huoju, all of them are rich and noble, and their hands are extremely generous, where are the handlebar types willing to let go of this good opportunity to make money?

Okay, Zhao Ran admitted that he really didn't see it, this Yu Zhiyuan is also a "famous calligrapher and painter"? He thought to himself, since even Yu Zhiyuan can get an invitation, then he will never be embarrassed to follow.

In fact, Zhao Ran was even more sleepy at this time than before he fell asleep just now, but Zhao Ran dared to refuse Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai's invitation, but he was not very embarrassed to say no to Zhiyuan. He didn't have any new clothes, so he had to put on a clean Huoju robe, and hurriedly followed Yu Zhiyuan down the mountain.

As soon as he walked out of the mountain gate of Wuji Courtyard, Yu Zhiyuan patted his head and asked Zhao Ran to wait for a while, saying that he was going back to sample objects. Zhao Ran was bored and circled in front of the mountain gate, but there was someone holding a wooden board in the corner of the side, and the big word "injustice" was written on the board.

Zhao Ran was very interesting, and said in his heart that there is such a thing as "petitioning" in this world, and when he was curious, he stepped over to see what was going on.

Holding the plank was an old man, and beside the old man sat a young woman holding a lute, with slightly dark skin, but her appearance was delicate and delicate.

As soon as he saw Zhao Ran coming, the old man exhaled, "Dao Chief-Xiaomin is wronged-"

After Zhao Ran heard this voice, he immediately got goosebumps all over his body, without him, this old man spoke in a singing voice.

Zhao Ran was a real department-level cadre before he crossed over, and there are too many such petitioning things, and there are intricate disputes in many petitioning incidents, and if you are not careful, you will cause a commotion. Therefore, he didn't dare to get too close, but from a distance of Zhangba, there was a match between the two of them, but most of his eyes fell on the woman sitting on the ground.

When the old man saw that Zhao Ran didn't come, he turned the wooden board around, but the back of the wooden board was full of words, which was Chen Ran's book.

Zhao Ran was so happy that he couldn't say anything, and he said in his heart that these petitioners even had exactly the same tricks. stared at it, but saw that what was written in the Chen injustice book was the accusation that Jin Jiu and Zhang Ze had raped the people's daughters and set up arson with slaves. Because it was related to Jin Jiu and Zhang Ze, Zhao Ran was interested and looked very carefully.

Seeing that Zhao Ran looked carefully, the old man explained in detail on the side, saying that Jin Jiu and Zhang Ze, relying on the power of the family, not only ** their own yellow flower girl, but also even if the house slave injured his son, now his daughter has declared that it is dirty, no one is married, his son is bedridden and sick, he can't go out, and the family is becoming more and more difficult. And so on and so forth, and so on, with tears in my eyes.

The old man was crying, his eyes were still dripping, and the young woman in the carriage over there, every time she saw Zhao Ran's gaze projected, her face turned red, and her eyes had such a taste of wanting to refuse and welcome, and her body twisted slightly, with an indescribable natural charm.

Zhao Ran was attracted to this woman, and before he knew it, his mouth was dry. His mind was full of the ** scene of Jin Jiu and Zhang Ze and this woman upside down, and he couldn't tell whether he was envious or jealous.
