"Sister-in-law! Master Song is up..."
Zhao Guanren walked into the county yamen house alone, Mrs. Song was welcoming him in the main room, and the two concubines stood behind and bowed their knees to salute, but Song Zhixian's wife and two concubines were all fat and ugly. No one can eat with such a wife and concubine.
"Lord Zhao! You're being negligent, my master didn't go to bed until early in the morning..."
Mrs. Song said anxiously: "My master told me before going to bed that he was at most a crime of negligence. He will admit what he should admit, and he will never admit what he shouldn't. Please help me to intercede, my lord. Master has always listened to you!"
"Sister-in-law! Take a step to speak..."
Zhao Guanren walked into the back hall and chatted with her. Mrs. Song nodded quickly, ran into the kitchen in a hurry, and soon brought out a wooden box with difficulty. When she opened it, it turned out to be full of gold bars. , estimated to be no less than forty or fifty gold.
"My lord! There are not many bank notes at home, do you think these are enough..."
Mrs. Song looked at him panting. Zhao Guanren knew that banknotes were inconvenient to be bribed, and he went to the bank to exchange them, so he frowned and said, "It's hard for me to send such a big box. Is there any valuable Wenwan?"
"Yes! Wait a moment..."
Mrs. Song ran back quickly, and quickly came out with two brocade boxes, saying: "A pair of glazed statues, which are said to be treasures from more than three hundred years ago, and a white jade fairy. The bottom one is a book of what?" The mental method is said to be a first-class profound energy mental method!"
"That's right! Warriors like mental techniques..."
Zhao Guanren took it over and said: "Tell your master, you must communicate with me, don't be smart on your own, his brains must be played to death by others, anyway, let him do what I say, and he will definitely save his life and money." Black hat!"
"Ouch~ Thank you so much Mr. Zhao, you are the savior of our family..."
Mrs. Song took out another stack of silver bills and handed them to him. Zhao Guanren took away the gold and the antiques. Mrs. Song followed behind to thank him, but when he went out the gate, he shouted: "Sister-in-law, don't give them away. I'll take the documents back and look them up first!"
"My lord! The carriage is ready..."
Luo Tan led the banner guards to a carriage, and Zhao Guanren put things on it pretending to be relaxed. After reaching a secluded place, he took out the banknote and said with a smile: "Come, come! Brothers, everyone Two hundred taels, don't go to the bank to exchange it, Bai Yiwei is not a vegetarian!"
"Thank you, my lord!"
The banner guards accepted the food stamps in surprise, Luo Tan reached out to take one, but Zhao Guanren took the rest back.
"grown ups!"
The leader, Xiao Duqi, said in admiration: "You are so awesome. You actually went to the county magistrate's house to get money. We stayed up with him all night last night, and in the end it was only a couple of teas per person. We still called him stingy!"
"I'm not stupid, what's the use of giving you money..."
Zhao Guanren smiled proudly and said: "From now on, you will follow me on errands. As long as you keep your mouth shut, you will be promoted and get rich. Besides, we will not do lowly things like extorting the common people. If you want to beat them, you can knock these officials and lords. Let's go, brothers. Go to the next one!"
"My lord, please, brothers will escort you..."
The ten banner guards nodded and bowed to invite him into the carriage, and Luo Tan also climbed up, sat beside him with a smile and helped him light a cigarette, and leaned on him.
"Aren't you innocent, you want to sleep with the master so soon..."
Zhao Guanren blew on her jokingly, and Luo Tan leaned on his shoulder and said coquettishly: "The master has taken away my family's innocence, and the master even made fun of her, so I don't have to worry about being ugly. Anyway, the man is yours, and the body is yours." It's also yours, master can't treat others badly!"
Zhao Guanren asked, "How much do you earn a month?"
"Our secret agents are the worst. If we can't find a big case, we can only get a salary. If we have a big case, we can get some subsidies. It's only a few dozen taels a year..."
Luo Tan curled his lips and said, "The black-clothed guard is just a superficial beauty.
, The black and white guards are staring at each other, so we don't have much money, the money is in the hands of the adults of the thousand families, and the adults of the hundred families follow to get some soup to drink, but the fattest is still working in the capital, but unfortunately none of us have no way out! "
"Have you ever seen so much gold?"
Zhao Guanren picked up the box on the ground with his feet, Luo Tan's eyes widened in an instant, swallowed a big mouthful of foam, and stammered: "No, I haven't seen it! I haven't seen it in my dreams, but Song Chizhu is out." The famous Iron Man, how could he give you so much?"
"Open the collar!"
Zhao Guanren grabbed a handful of gold bars from the box, Luo Tan pulled his collar away excitedly, Zhao Guanren threw two gold bars in, and asked, "Which Chang Ziteng am I, how did the last one die?"
"You are the second one. Chang Ziteng was assassinated..."
Luo Tan rolled his eyes and said: "Chang Ziteng is a young man, he has been with me for only three months, Xiangtian's grain depot has something tricky, I told him not to touch such a difficult case, but he was eager to make meritorious service, and he did not come out for ten days Let someone kill him, luckily I didn't accompany him!"
"Dang Clang~"
Zhao Guanren threw two more gold bars and asked, "What are Chen Qianhu's hobbies, how many girls are there in the family, and what is Tan Qingning's family background?"
"The Tan family is a family of officials and eunuchs. There are two elder brothers who are officials in the court. The old man was once a minister of the Ministry of War..."
Luo Tan said helplessly: "I don't know Chen Qianhu very well. He is withdrawn and arrogant. He never talks to his subordinates. There is only one wife and one concubine in his family. He lives with him in Ningzhou Prefecture. Apart from playing chess, he usually goes fishing. Already!"
"In addition to asking you to report my whereabouts, did he ask you to get rid of me at any time..."
Zhao Guanren grabbed another handful of gold bars, but Luo Tan shook his head and said, "No! Just let me monitor you according to the normal rules, and report to him if you have any deceitful behavior, and let me tell you that the Bian and Xie families should not touch each other again. You can accept the gifts they give you, but you are not allowed to knock on the door!"
"Don't let people see things, take good care of them at night..."
Zhao Guanren stuffed four gold bars into her arms again, closed the box and said, "You know how to write the report, I took five thousand taels of silver from Song Chizhu, one hundred taels of gold, one piece of antiques and one piece of art, and divided them privately." Two thousand taels!"
"Master! This is too much to pay..."
Luo Tan looked at him with a face of pain, Zhao Guanren squeezed her chin and smiled: "Yo~ I feel sorry for our family's money, but how can I get less if I make a move, and I will only hand in half, so you can record it truthfully. good!"
"Huh? If he knew you were greedy for ink, he wouldn't bother you..."
Luo Tan looked at him in surprise, Zhao Guanren just smiled without explaining.
In fact, he wants Chen Qianhu to believe that he is just a greedy and lustful villain, and at the same time Luo Tan is also doing his duty, otherwise no one would dare to stay with a smart person who is not greedy and lustful.
"My lord! It's here..."
The banner guards shouted energetically, and Zhao Guanren jumped off the carriage and went straight to a house. Although the owner of this house is only a small official, he is a big moth in charge of the grain depot, and he is absolutely rich in oil and water.
really!
The goods were actually given a whole box of cash, so heavy that Zhao Guanren couldn't lift it by himself, so the four banner guards carried it away with a grunt, and then ran to several houses one after another, not even letting go However, the last carriage could not be pulled.
"Huh? Hu Xiancheng is dead..."
Zhao Guanren was stunned as soon as he entered the door. The Hu family was full of white silk, and there was a coffin parked in the main room, but except for his wife, daughter and two concubines, no one dared to come to express condolences, and even the servants ran away. .
"Woo~ My master hanged himself in the early morning..."
Mrs. Hu knelt on the ground and wept into tears, and her son and daughter were about to faint from crying. When Zhao Guanren went to the coffin in surprise, he found that it was Hu Xiancheng lying upright in it, and the strangulation marks on his neck were obviously hanged. committed suicide.
"Master! This is the abandoned car to protect the handsome..."
Luo Tan whispered: "I asked the brothers in the night trial, the superiors will not let the magistrate's mansion be moved, if Hu Xiancheng commits suicide, he will be carried down by himself, dirty
Water can be splashed on his head! "
"Dog officer! I'll kill you..."
Sudden!
A girl rushed out from the side hall, raised her sword high and slashed at Zhao Guanren. Luo Tan kicked her out of the way, and drew out the knife to kill her, but Mrs. Hu jumped out and cried, : "My lord, please spare me! This is my girl!"
"Girl! I didn't kill your father..."
Zhao Guanren pulled Luo Tan behind him, but the girl cried out in grief and indignation: "I know you! You are Zhao Yunxuan who was in the yamen hall last night. You forced my father to death. My father is innocent. He did not poison you." , no harm!"
"Girl! I never said that your father poisoned you, not even the guard in black..."
Zhao Guanren walked over and said: "I have been helping your father, but he refused to listen to me at a critical moment and chose his superior. In the end, they abandoned the car to protect the commander, and your father became a victim. If you let him choose again, believe me He will listen to me, understand?"
"Master Zhao! My little girl is ignorant, please don't blame me..."
Mrs. Hu hugged her daughter and burst into tears, only she understood the inside story, so Zhao Guanren took out a bank note and handed it to her, expressing his condolences helplessly.
suddenly!
A lean middle-aged man stepped in, wearing a gray gown with rolled up cuffs. He was taken aback when he saw the black-clothed guard, but he still bowed in a respectful manner. The Hu family also hurriedly returned the salute. The first person to come to condolences.
"You are the owner of Han's shop..."
Zhao Guanren remembered that this man's shop was on Mashi Street, and he sold things like firewood, rice, oil, salt, and so on. He had a little impression of the two girls because they were dexterous and beautiful.
"Master Zhang, no! Master Zhao, my humble Han Dongsheng..."
After Han Dongsheng presented the silk gold, he turned around and saluted, and said, "Master Hu and I are from the same township, and he has always taken good care of me. Who would have thought that he would leave just as soon as he said it, life is really impermanent!"
"You are a real person. Few people dare to mourn him..."
Zhao Guanren nodded lightly. Who knew that a large group of people rushed in from outside, and it turned out that the black-clothed guards and the white-clothed guards came together. The menacing posture made it clear that the visitors were not friendly.
"Come to steal the house!"
Luo Tan stepped aside without being surprised, but Zhao Guanren stepped forward and said in surprise: "No way, everyone, the Prime Minister of Hu County has not been buried yet, so you are in a hurry to search the house, at least wait for others to pass the first seven days!"
"What Hu Xiancheng, this is a criminal who committed suicide in fear of crime..."
A white-clothed guard stepped forward and held up the official document, which was stamped with several red stamps. He said in a cold voice: "If you have any objections, you can go to your superior to argue with him. This is stamped with his official seal. Don't hinder me from running errands, get out of the way!"
"My lord! For such a serious crime, ransacking the house is inevitable..."
Luo Tan hurriedly pulled Zhao Guanren aside, and hundreds of households in white went forward to read the official documents. There were a lot of crimes listed, and in the end, all the family property was naturally confiscated. Official prostitute.
"There is no reason in heaven! There is no conscience..."
Mrs. Hu beat her chest and cried, and her daughter picked up the sword and wanted to kill herself, but was captured by the guards in black and pulled away by iron ropes. Even the little boy in his teens was not spared. Start moving valuables.
"Master Zhao! I beg you to bury the husband of the servant's family, please..."
Mrs. Hu cried miserably in the courtyard, and her daughter also cried and begged and admitted her mistake. Zhao Guanren naturally nodded in agreement without hesitation, and the impatient Han Dongsheng also hurriedly chased him out.
"You can't control this matter, don't set yourself on fire..."
Zhao Guanren dragged the impulsive Han Dongsheng back, walked to the side of the coffin and looked at Hu Xiancheng who suddenly opened his eyes, he closed his eyes twice before letting Hu Xiancheng close his eyes, and sighed: "Oh, if I knew today, why did you do it in the first place? , you think they treat you like a brother, they treat you like a sand sculpture!"
