As soon as the cloth was taken off, the convenience immediately shouted: "What do you want to do, quickly untie it for us."
Bai Shan sat on the stone and said: "It is impossible to untie it. This rope is rough. The more you struggle, the more you will be hurt. Why don't you answer me a few words honestly, so as not to suffer."
The other party continued to yell and struggle, but seeing that no one paid attention to him except the people around him who were talking in low voices, he couldn't help but calm down slowly, and fear finally arose in his heart, "You, what do you want to do?"
Bai Shan raised his eyebrows slightly, "I should ask you this question, but it's not urgent, let me tell you what your name is first."
The other party paused and said: "I, I am ranked fifth at home."
Bai Shan hesitated, looked at Zhou Dalang: "Is that the fifth cousin?"
How did Zhou Dalang recognize him
Their family and Zhang's family hadn't been in contact for more than ten years, and they had little contact with each other before they cut off contact. He didn't even recognize their relatives' cousins.
On the contrary, the people in the village knew more. Someone calculated their seniority for them and said, "What fifth cousin, young master, that's your cousin."
Bai Shan suddenly realized, "So I'm still an elder, so it's better to ask questions. Come on, nephew of the Zhang family, tell me, why did you come to Qili Village today?"
"We're here to visit relatives!"
Bai Shan: "Since you are visiting relatives, why did you quarrel with relatives and start fighting?"
Zhang Wulang was a little guilty, but still stuck his neck and said: "Then, then you should ask the Zhou family."
Bai Shan looked at Zhou Zhoulang, "Fourth brother, tell me."
Zhou Zhoulang yelled at him and said, "Are you visiting relatives? You are here for revenge. As soon as you came to the door, you asked us for benefits. You asked me to take you to business and borrow money. When it was over, what happened? Also like our daughter."
"The daughters of our old Zhou's family are all precious. How can your family have the face to want to marry our daughter?"
Zhou Man's eyes widened, "Engagement?"
"Yes, he said that the aunt of the Zhang family married into our family before, and now we have to marry another one to the Zhang family, let alone the eldest brother, I want to beat him with shoes when I heard it..."
Bai Shan figured it out, and asked someone to gag his mouth again, stood up and said, "Brothers, if you trust me, hand them all over to me to take care of them, how about we discuss this matter when Zhang's family arrives tomorrow? "
Zhou Zhoulang was puzzled, "What are you talking about, just throw it out of the village. Don't tell me that if any rascal comes to your door, we will give you a favor, and if you don't give it, you will have trouble?"
The villagers also said one after another: "Yes, yes, there is no such reason."
Bai Shandao: "Of course I know, but the two families are relatives after all, it's not good to quarrel in the yamen, let it go, it's just driving people out, and it's just deepening the enmity, why don't the elders of the two families get together and have a discussion Let’s talk, let’s settle this matter completely, so as to avoid such disputes in the future.”
Zhou Zhoulang lowered his eyes and thought for a while, and no longer refused.
So Bai Shan asked people to carry all eight of them to Bai's house and locked them in a wing room.
Zhou Man swayed behind him, "Why are you locked up in our house, wouldn't it be better in my house?"
"I'm afraid that my father-in-law can't help but do something to them when he comes back," Bai Shan said, "They're tied up now, it won't be good if they accidentally break them."
It's safest to bet on Bai's house.
Locking the people into the wing room, Bai Shan asked them to untie the ropes on their bodies, and tied their hands and feet again.
Let them move a little bit, but they can't break free.
Bai Shan took the cloth towel out of one of the mouths, and stuffed it back when he opened his mouth, "If you are noisy and swearing, then the cloth towel will not be untied; if you are quiet, we are all relatives, and I don't think about anything else." It's too ugly."
The eight-person knot made two whimpers, but seeing Bai Shan standing calmly with his hands behind his back, he could only calm down.
Only then was Bai Shan satisfied, and took off the cloth towels from their mouths, "That's right, since someone is talking, you should listen to it, and think about it in your heart, and you can't act recklessly, such people often don't live long. , and it’s hard to know how he died.”
Bai Shan dragged a chair to sit down, looked down at the eight people sitting on the ground, and was very curious, "How did you remember that the Zhou family was in trouble? The two families have not been in touch for more than ten years. The family has already broken up."
"Broken bones are connected to tendons. My father and uncle are cousins of the same blood. How can we break off the relationship?"
"That's right, that's right, their Zhou family is rich, so they can't just turn around and forget about their relatives, right? If it gets out, what reputation does their Zhou family still have?"
"If they don't even help their blood relatives, how can they help the folks? I wonder if they will have the face to go back to Luojiang County in the future."
"It sounds scary, but the relationship between the two families has been passed down for three generations. If any in-laws come to the Zhou family, they will respond, so what will happen to the Zhou family?" Bai Shan was curious, "Do you really think people outside Hearing these rumors, will you feel that the Zhou family is ruthless, instead of believing that your Zhang family is greedy and adulterous?"
"What greed, don't spitting blood, we just came to visit relatives, but you not only didn't welcome us, beat and scolded us, and even locked us up."
"Who made you think that you can benefit from coming to Zhou's house?"
"What do you mean? We are here to ask for some gifts. You are so rich, why don't you help your poor relatives?"
Bai Shan could only ask another question, "Who was the first to propose to come to Zhou's house for benefits?"
When Bai Shan finally went out from the room, the people in the room were stuffed back into cloth towels.
Zhou Man sat outside with his chin propped up, and Yin or several others were also outside. When he saw him come out, he got up immediately, "How, did you ask? Who ordered it?"
Bai Shan glanced at them inexplicably, "You also think that someone ordered them? But the fact is that we overthink it, and they came here by themselves."
"ah?"
Yin You couldn't understand, "A relative with a bad relationship who hasn't been in touch for more than ten years, actually has a face to fight the autumn wind?"
Zhou Man also couldn't understand, "You are so arrogant and domineering when you come to beat the autumn wind? I don't know, I thought it was our family who beat the autumn wind."
Bai Shan couldn't help laughing, and after comforting her, he said, "I've asked carefully. The news about the drinking in the village spread yesterday, and people outside said that the Zhou family is generous and nostalgic. A lot of money, even benefiting the entire Luojiang County."
"I invited the whole village to drink as soon as I came back. This is the first time in Baimaguan Town, and even in Luojiang County." At noon, a group of idle young people got together to drink and talk about this matter. The leader Zhang Sanlang is our cousin, and he thought that since the Zhou family is generous, they are so lenient to those who are not related by blood And, it should be more generous to learn the piano, so I urged everyone to come and play the autumn wind together."
