Chapter 291 Chapter 291 291: Killing Chickens and No Monkeys [Happy New Year]
Regarding wanting to kill chickens to scare monkeys, sharpening his knife but finding that there are only chickens and no monkeys in the chicken coop, Shen Tang is not ignorant of the risks, but now he is ready to take action. Had to send it. She needs to get enough supplies to revitalize the dead city of Fugu.
Fugu City is not alive——
Not only the original natives of Fugu City are going to die, but also the old, weak, women and children brought along the road from Sibao County!
The chickens in the chicken coop are undoubtedly an evil tiger that hinders the rebirth of Fugu City.
Bloated, cruel, violent, and insatiable.
It is also a sword that threatens Shen Tang.
Even though the sword was rusty and not sharp in her opinion, she could not sleep at night unless it was completely broken!
However, several officials in Fugu City do not understand these thoughts. Not only did he not understand, he even thought that Shen Tang couldn't wait to hug the local snake's thigh the next day. Such flattering villain behavior cut most of the goodwill brought by Shen Tang's own money, and everyone was ready to "migrate" as soon as possible.
Humans, even if you don’t steam the steamed buns, you still have to fight for it.
Shen Tang wants to live in a den of snakes and rats, so go ahead, but they don't want to become minions of the Zhang family.
Thinking like this in my heart, I still gave you face.
Shen Tang asked them to present the name card to Zhang in her name. The head of the Zhang family raised his eyebrows contemptuously after receiving the name card.
"Heyin County Governor Shen Tang Youli pays homage... What is the origin of this Shen Youli? He is on the right track. He knew how to come to the door on the second day he came. He is much more sensible than the previous ones..."
If If the military workshop in the mountain had not been looted, and the news of the mine had been exposed, which aroused the fear and covetousness of other families, which in turn caused the Zhang family to be in a state of turmoil and not dare to make any big moves, the head of the Zhang family would have received this invitation from Shen Tang. Happy.
At this time, I felt a little upset.
"...I'm too lazy to see you."
Be prepared to have someone reject the invitation.
But before he could continue the instructions, he made a move.
The head of the Zhang family remembered another thing.
Changed his words: "Forget it, just accept it."
This little-known Shen Youli was personally appointed by the tyrant. It is not easy to offend him now, so he needs to find out the details first. He also received rumors that Wu Xian of the Wu family in Tianhai also coveted He Yin.
With Shen Tang watching, it would be difficult for Wu Zhaode to intervene.
Compared with Wu Xian (Wu Zhaode), a talented scholar with several generations of illustrious ancestors and rich family background and reputation, Shen Tang is naturally easier to handle. When people take the initiative to show their kindness, I can't refuse to give them any face...
Besides -
"Has Governor Shen contacted anyone?"
The visitor replied: "No."
The head of the Zhang family asked in surprise: "Oh?"
He thought Shen Tanghui also submitted its name to other companies. After all, the Zhang family was not the only one in Heyin.
Being the first to show kindness to Mr. Zhang really made him feel comfortable. My initial impression of Shen Tang was above the passing mark.
Order your servants to prepare for the guests.
His wife said at this time: "I heard that this county governor is very young, only twelve or thirteen years old. He has the face of a good girl and is very pretty."
The head of the Zhang family listened to her Knowing what she wanted to say, she glanced slightly with the whites of her eyes and snorted noncommittally.
Mrs. Zhang: "No?"
The head of the Zhang family shook his head: "Of course not! This Shen Youli is not a child of an aristocratic family, so don't use your imagination."
< br>
The current Mrs. Zhang is not the first wife's direct wife, but the second wife of the Zhang family after the first wife had difficulty in giving birth to a daughter. The first wife had a good family background, and he was supposed to be a high-ranking wife, but the father-in-law's family suffered due to the war, and the family only had one niece left. The head of the family helped his father-in-law's family handle funerals and raise orphans, and secretly devoured the father-in-law's family's huge wealth, turning the family around in one fell swoop.
Compared with the rigid character of his first wife who was always "straightforward and admonishing" him, he prefers his current step-in-law who knows how to cause trouble.
She is good at everything, but she is not happy with the daughter left behind by her first wife. She spends a lot of money in her life. If she hadn't covered up for her, she would have been known as unkind to the outside world.
He tried his best to marry this daughter off again...
It wasn't because the head of the Zhang family had any conscience, or there was some kind of father-daughter relationship, it was just because he looked down on Shen Tang. .
The name card that was handed over did not say where or what family she was born in. Most of them were from common people. How could she be worthy of being a daughter of a noble family?
Even if it was just his unfavored daughter.
Therefore, he secretly warned Mrs. Zhang to give up this crooked idea, and there was no need to do this if she wanted to marry off the eldest lady.
Mrs. Zhang twisted the handkerchief with her fingers.
Whispered: "He is also a county guard after all..."
The head of the Zhang family disdainfully said: "County guard? Although Shen Youli is a county guard, his name sounds good, but it also depends on where he is. In this place of Heyin, it is this person's turn to speak?" The eldest lady cannot afford to lose this man when she gets married."
Just as he was talking, the brother of the head of the Zhang family came.
"Brother is going to marry his daughter?"
I heard the joke before I saw the person.
"Second uncle is here." Mrs. Zhang smiled and said, "We are talking about the eldest lady. She will have hairpins in two years. If we don't see her husband's family, I'm afraid that all the young talents of the right age will be selected. Where can I go? It’s her turn. Talk to your brother, your brother shouldn’t do it.”
"Oh? This is the elder brother's fault.
" There is a new county guard in Fugu City. When she heard that she was about the same age, she wanted to tell the eldest lady. What does she, a woman, know? Xiao Xiao comes from a poor family - hum! Also worthy? ”
How old is He Yin?
How many of the previous governors of He Yin were killed?
The head of the Zhang family really didn’t take Shen Tang seriously.
If it weren't for Zheng Qiao's order and the Zhang family suffered heavy losses from the military workshop not long ago, he really wouldn't want to see Shen Tang.
Even if we meet, we have to wait three to five days to see how we feel.
Hearing this, the family head’s younger brother agreed quite a bit.
Seeing that her plan was about to fail, Mrs. Zhang felt uncomfortable, so she changed the subject and asked: "I just saw that my second uncle has a rosy complexion, but there is another child in the family?"
This uncle is a vegetarian. Not taboo.
I don’t know how many farm girls I have ruined over the years.
It was not enough to stuff more than 20 concubines in the backyard. All the maids serving in the house were touched. Even the maids around the old lady were not spared. He also likes to have fun, indulges in sex, and plays with beauty paper, beauty bowls, and beauty pots.
Previously, there was an epidemic in the villages under Heyin's jurisdiction, and he took the opportunity to coax the sons and daughters of the common people to have fun.
I think my husband is also a talented person, but this brother looks like the old lady had an affair behind her father-in-law’s back. She was born with a fat head and big ears, a lot of flesh on her face, and ferocious eyebrows. She looked like a mountain pig transformed into a spirit. Sometimes she looked at her in the wrong way.
Mrs. Zhang was extremely disgusted.
The brother of the head of the family said: "That's not the case. I found a good thing recently and brought it to show to my eldest brother."
The head of the Zhang family is not very interested in this.
I asked casually: "What is it?"
The younger brother of the head of the family didn't say anything, he just smiled.
Everything goes without saying.
The head of the Zhang family knew at a glance that his brother had found another beauty. Although his brother is a bastard, he is good at this and acts generously. If there is anything good about him, he is the first brother who comes to mind. However, he really didn't have time to appreciate the beauty today.
“Why?”
“The governor of Heyin is coming.”
Whatever you say comes.
Not long after it got dark, a servant came in to report.
The head of the Zhang family sneered: "It's coming soon."
The head's younger brother has no respect or fear for the so-called county guard. He has a concubine in his backyard who was given by a certain county guard. People call themselves brothers together. After hearing this, he said: "I want to see where this new county governor is from!"
Not long after, the servants led the Heyin county governor in.
The head of the Zhang family symbolically went out to greet him.
I was a little startled when I saw the person coming.
He knew that Shen Tang was very young, but only those who really saw how young would know how young he was, especially when there was a man standing behind him who was nearly two meters tall, with a tall body, a strong physique, wide shoulders and a narrow waist, and strong muscles in his limbs. Shu Wu of the Han Communist Party!
He gave a salute: "I have met Mr. Shen."
Shen Tang returned the salute: "Master Zhang, nice to meet you."
The keen attention made her feel uncomfortable. sight. Looking around secretly, she saw a stout middle-aged man with fat head and big ears, his eyes faintly flashed with greed, and his sticky and foul-smelling gaze almost stuck to her face.
This person: "Shen Jun is so young."
Shen Tang asked quietly: "Who is this?"
The head of the Zhang family led Shen Tang in and seated the guests and hosts.
He said: "My younger brother."
Hearing this, Shen Tang's eyes lit up.
Oh, what a coincidence.
This person’s reputation can be described as “like thunder.”
Shen Tang had been thinking about it for a while, but unexpectedly, he saw it. It was as Bai Su said, like a mountain pig turning into a spirit.
This "mountain pig spirit" ignored the etiquette, looked at Shen Tang's beautiful and handsome face, and said: "If it weren't for Mr. Shen wearing a heart-shaped monogram on his waist and his elegant style, I would have thought that Mr. Shen was in the sky. Fairy descends to earth... I would like to ask, is Mr. Shen married? "
Shen Tang: "...No"
She raised her eyebrows inwardly, but she didn't expect that the brother of the head of the Zhang family was also a literary scholar - also, he couldn't be a pure useless person who had been running rampant for so many years and had the head of the Zhang family clean up his mess diligently.
"I have a daughter under my knees, who is about the same age as Mr. Shen..."
Shen Tang: "..."
The expression management is almost out of control.
I don’t know whether to complain about being talked about as a matchmaker at the age of twelve, and about a little girl, or to complain about the look in the eyes of the head of the house’s younger brother - this look is not like looking at the future son-in-law riding a dragon.
Shen Tang secretly complained that this "mountain pig spirit" had a strong taste and actually wanted to introduce it to his daughter to the person he was eyeing. The aristocratic circle was really chaotic. She refused: "Marriage requires the order of parents and the words of a matchmaker, and I am still young, so I have no intention to consider it for the time being."
Career is far more fragrant than love.
The head of the Zhang family did not interrupt.
He is the elder brother. Every time his brother sticks his butt out, he knows what the other person is brewing.
How can you not know the other party’s true purpose?
Looking for a "good son-in-law" for your daughter?
Haha, it is true to find a "beautiful woman" for yourself.
Seeing that his brother's talk was getting more and more embarrassing, he cut off the topic and asked Shen Tang the reason for his visit - is Mengxin here to visit the dock to ask for a friend, or is he here to inquire about the situation?
Shen Tang’s answer is neither.
She is here to look for someone.
Hearing from several officials below him that Zhang's business was large and had many connections, he shamelessly came to ask for help.
The head of the Zhang family pondered the authenticity of Shen Tang’s words.
Thinking about it, the so-called missing person is a lie. He used the pretext of searching for a missing person to establish a relationship with the Zhang family. It is true that he openly built the plank road and secretly visited Chen Cang - it is not that there were no county guards who did this in the past. However, the county guard cast a wide net, used several boats, and freely interfered with the competition between Heyin families. He was killed when he was discovered.
Shen Tang is afraid of "repeating the same old tricks".
After some thought, I have an idea.
"It's just a small favor, why does Mr. Shen need to go there in person? Just send someone over to say something. I wonder who the person Mr. Shen is looking for? What are his characteristics? How many people are in the family? Where is his place of origin?"
< br>The head of the Zhang family was going to send Shen Tang away with a few perfunctory words.
He, Mrs. Zhang, does not engage in family searching projects.
Shen Tang used the rhetoric she had designed before, and the person she was looking for was her elder sister, who was the third in line in the clan.
The head of the Zhang family responded perfunctorily.
He asked again: "No one can be found in the household register of the administrative office?"
"My sister should be from Heyin who came two years ago. At that time, there were frequent wars, and there was no time to register in the household register of Heyin..."
Shen Tang sighed as he spoke.
The head of the Zhang family laughed inwardly.
What is "too late to register"?
How could you not know how poor those people are?
It was purely due to a shortage of manpower and an extreme lack of writing and ink for writing slips, so expenditures were cut and management of refugees was loosened.
No one knows how many people came and how many died.
And my own brother also likes to pick such people to attack.
Because there is no road guide registration, my death will be in vain.
It won’t cause much trouble...
Thinking of this, the head of the Zhang family had a sudden thought and his eyelids trembled - this Mr. Shen has an outstanding appearance, and he must be not weak at all. If he is born with a beautiful face, he will follow the refugees. When He Yin got up, there was no guarantee that he wouldn't be attracted by his younger brother - he secretly glanced at his obsessed and greedy younger brother and cursed secretly.
Taking care of the lower body!
Sooner or later this guy will die!
He was worried that Shen Tang was here to investigate.
Although he is not afraid, it is troublesome to be entangled, especially now that the Zhang family is being targeted by several other companies.
Don’t let others hold the handle to make a raft.
After some testing, it was discovered that it was not the case. Shen Tang did not behave as if he had lost a blood relative at all, but rather as if he had come to him to help find a relative. The head of the Zhang family was a little calmer - what could a twelve-year-old boy have up his sleeves? It’s impossible to cover everything even if you’re scheming.
He said: "I will tell my subordinates to look for her when I turn around. Don't worry, Mr. Shen, your family will be reunited."
Shen Tang breathed a sigh of relief.
He smiled and said, "I feel relieved because of Mr. Zhang's words."
After speaking, he paused.
"By the way, there is one more thing."
The head of the Zhang family asked: "What's the matter?"
Shen Tang said: "The government office has been in disrepair for a long time, and the treasury is empty. It is difficult to find anyone to repair it. I came here because I wanted to borrow some money from Duke Zhang to read the severe winter. I have taken in too many people who were displaced by the war. I am afraid that my little family will be..."
She smiled sheepishly.
The head of the Zhang family: "..."
The co-author is still here to beat the autumn wind.
I have seen so many governors of Heyin County come to the door on the second day after taking office and ask for money and food, but this is the first one.
The head of the Zhang family looked embarrassed.
"If you don't agree, it's really hard to tell."
He began to cry about poverty.
The weather is not good, the tenant farmers have run away, the fields are poor in fertility, and it is difficult to make a living. In the past few years, I have tried my best to donate several large granaries...
In a word -
No money, no food!
You are borrowing from the wrong people.
The young governor in front of him was young, and his face turned red after being criticized. He hesitated and said: "B-but-"
The head of the Zhang family became impatient.
Said: "Please Shen Jun, please understand how difficult it is for us."
Shen Tang pursed his lips, his moist eyes looked aggrieved, making people unable to help but feel affection - especially referring to That "mountain pig spirit", the head of the Zhang family only felt that I was upset - the words coming out of those red lips were nerve-wracking: "I checked the taxes of the past few years and found that one cent of city tax has not been paid for the business under Zhang's name. There are more than one hundred hectares of land under his name, and the tax is only one hundred liters." ...is this not easy? ”
The words fell.
The young man's eyes suddenly became as sharp as knives.
Straight to the heart!

Happy New Year and auspicious Year of the Tiger, babies.
