Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    On the cloud viewing platform in the back mountain, Guan Er took out a thick stack of silver notes from his arms and said to Zhao Ran: "Brother Zhao, after excluding the capital you gave me, I won back a total of four thousand taels. Those few hundred taels of broken silver  Brother Zhao must have disliked it, so he didn't bring it. All the banknotes are here, please ask Brother Zhao to check them."

    Zhao Ran took advantage of the moonlight and took the banknotes. He saw that these banknotes were of large denominations, mostly one hundred or two hundred, and a few of fifty taels. This shows how big the gambling game tonight is!

    "Where is your farm? Have you won it back?"

    "Thank you for your concern, Brother Zhao. Don't worry, I have burned the signature." When he said this, Guan Er let out a long breath, and the smile on his face was extremely cheerful.

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

    "Guan will be satisfied if he can win the farm back The most important thing is that he did not lose his wife or even his family It is all thanks to Brother Zhao's kindness. How can Guan dare to do what he wants again?"

    Zhao Ran nodded, took out a thousand taels from the banknote, and stuffed it into Guan Er's arms: "Is this what you lost last time? Take it!"

    Guan Er said anxiously: "How can this happen? Brother Zhao, please take it back quickly!" He then stuffed the banknote into Zhao Ran's arms.

    Zhao Ran waved his hand: "If you respect me and treat me as a friend, just take it, okay?"

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

    Zhao Ran did the math and found that the total of the banknotes in his hand was five thousand taels. The stack was like a thick book.  He didn't have any property. So far, he was still sleeping in a room with others. At the same time, he didn't have a few trusted relatives who could take care of it for him. So he simply counted out a thousand taels of small-denomination banknotes and stuffed them into his arms, leaving the rest  The remaining four thousand taels were put back into the package and handed over to Guan Er.

    "I would like to ask Brother Guan to keep these banknotes for me. Your Weiyuan Escort Bureau has a great business, so it will be much safer to store them with you."

    "This" Guan Er's face instantly turned purple and he was speechless.  He didn't expect Zhao Ran to do this at all. You know, this is four thousand taels of silver notes, which is definitely a huge fortune, but Zhao Ran handed it over to him easily.  God, what a lot of trust that takes!

    Guan Er swore: "Brother Zhao, don't worry, tomorrow will be Xiu Mu. I will go down the mountain at that time and will definitely put these banknotes back to the Escort Bureau. As long as the Weiyuan Escort Bureau is still there, Brother Zhao's money will be there, and I will never let it go."  I have accepted Brother Zhao¡¯s trust!¡±

    "By the way, there is one more thing I want to ask of Brother Guan. I have a very humble Uncle Zhao in Zhaozhuang, Shiquan County. He and Aunt Zhao take good care of me on weekdays. I also ask Brother Guan to find someone he can trust to go there.  Zhaozhuang, I will repay him by adding one or two hundred acres of land to his family, building a few spacious tile-roofed houses, and purchasing some useful household items. All expenses will be borne by me."

    Guan Er nodded: "Brother Zhao is really a kind person. Don't worry, the money spent is not a big amount, so Brother Zhao doesn't have to worry."

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

    So the two of them were satisfied and returned to Wujiyuan.  Needless to say, Zhao Ran was inexplicably excited that night. After breakfast, Zhao Ran was yawning all day long and was about to go back to the house to sleep, but found that Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai had already removed their pyrotechnic robes and changed into a different set of clothes.

    Both of them were dressed in Shu brocade robes, with jade pendants on their waists, and fine cotton boots on their feet. As the saying goes, a man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle. These two people suddenly changed, and they suddenly showed a graceful and graceful appearance.  He looks like a young and handsome young man with a lot of money. How can he tell that he is a hard-working fireman cleaning toilets?

    It turned out that today was the day of rest, and these two people were not even willing to sleep. They were going to Guyang County for a leisurely walk. They wanted to take Zhao Ran with them, saying that they wanted to let him see the prosperity of Guyang County.  Speaking of which, this was the first time Zhao Ran had a rest after coming to Wuji Yard. In fact, he was a little excited, but his playfulness could not stop him from feeling sleepy. He was still not used to reversing day and night life, so he had to express his deep feelings.  Pity.

    But these two people refused to go out and kept trying to persuade them.  Zhao Ran was such a perceptive person. After a little thought, he understood the intentions of these two people.  At that moment, he took twenty taels of silver coins and gave ten taels to each of them, saying that they were borrowing them temporarily and would return them when they had money in the future.  After the two of them went down the mountain happily, Zhao Ran fell on the bed and fell asleep soundly.

    Not long after he fell asleep, Zhao Ran was awakened by a banging on the door. He got up with blurred eyes and opened the door, but it was Yu Zhiyuan, the doorman of the living room.  When Yu Zhiyuan saw Zhao Ran, he said happily: "Fortunately you didn't leave, otherwise I would have almost missed it. Get up quickly and follow me down the mountain."

    It turns out that Magistrate Zhou of Long'an Prefecture held an elegant gathering in Beacon Hill, and Yu Zhiyuan also got the invitation.  It is said that this gathering is mainly about calligraphy and painting, and many famous calligraphers and calligraphers from around Long'an Prefecture have been invited to participate, and they are investing in Zhiyuan.  It's just that the servant who came to deliver the stickers was delayed on the way and arrived early this morning.Extremely mountainous.

    Bijia Mountain is located southeast of Long'an Fucheng and northwest of Guyang County, less than thirty miles away from Wuji Mountain.  Fortunately, the official road is spacious, so it only takes an hour to arrive by carriage.  As for the carriages - since Wujiyuan was closed for rest today, there were many carriages waiting at the foot of the mountain.  Everyone knows that Wujiyuan, be it Taoist priests or Huoju, are all wealthy people with extremely generous means. How can the handlebar types let go of this opportunity to make money?

    ??Okay, Zhao Ran admitted that he really didn't see it. Is Yu Zhiyuan considered a "famous calligrapher and painter"?  He thought to himself that since even Yu Zhiyuan could get the invitation, he would not be embarrassed if he went along.

    In fact, Zhao Ran is sleepier now than before he fell asleep, but Zhao Ran dared to refuse Jiao Tan and Zhou Huai's invitation, but he was embarrassed to say no in front of Zhiyuan.  He didn't have any luxurious new clothes, so he had to put on a clean Huoju Taoist robe and hurriedly followed Yu Zhiyuan down the mountain.

    Just after leaving the gate of Wujiyuan, Yu Zhiyuan patted his head and asked Zhao Ran to wait for a while, saying that he was going back to collect samples.  Zhao Ran wandered around in front of the mountain gate boredly, but found someone in the corner holding a wooden board with the big word "injustice" written on it.

    Zhao Ran was very interested and thought that there is also such a thing as "petition" in this world. Curious, he stepped over to take a look.

    The person holding the wooden board is an old man. Next to the old man sits a young woman holding a pipa. Her skin is slightly darker, but her appearance is fresh and delicate.

    As soon as he saw Zhao Ran coming over, the old man shouted, "Taoist Priest - the common people have been wronged -"

    After Zhao Ran heard this voice, he immediately got goosebumps all over his body. Otherwise, this old man spoke with a singing voice.

    ¡°Before Zhao Ran traveled through time, he had seen too many petitions like this. Many petitions had intricate connections. If he was not careful, he would cause trouble.  Therefore, he did not dare to get too close. He only looked at the two people from a distance of eight feet, but his eyes mostly fell on the woman sitting on the ground.

    Seeing that Zhao Ran couldn't come over, the old man turned the board over, but the back of the board was full of words, which were the "Chen Yu" letter.

    Zhao Ran was so surprised that he didn't say a word, thinking that these petitioners all had exactly the same tricks.  Looking closely, he saw that what was written in the grievance letter was the accusation against Jin Jiu and Zhang Ze for raping civilian women and allowing slaves to commit murder.  Because it was related to Jin Jiu and Zhang Ze, Zhao Ran became interested and looked at it very carefully.

    Seeing that Zhao Ran was watching carefully, the old man explained in detail, saying that Jin Jiu and Zhang Ze, relying on their family's power, not only raped their own daughter, but also allowed their slaves to injure their own son, and now their daughter  The declaration has been slandered, no one is marrying him, his son is in bed recuperating from illness and cannot leave the house, the family is becoming more and more miserable, and he is about to run out of rice to cook.  Wait, wait, etc., I burst into tears.

    While the old man was crying, his eyes were still rolling around; the young woman on the other side blushed every time she saw Zhao Ran's gaze directed towards her, with a hint of wanting to resist but welcome in her eyes, and her body moved slightly.  Naughty, indescribable natural charm.

    Zhao Ran looked at the woman carefully, and suddenly felt his mouth went dry. The hot scene of Jin Jiu and Zhang Ze having an affair with the woman suddenly appeared in his mind. After thinking about it for a moment, he suddenly realized that he was shocked, and secretly wondered what happened to him.  Wow, concentration is so poor.
