Chapter 61: The Wall

As the sky was getting dark, as the largest escort in Qiantang, it was rare to close the door at Zhibin Building. From a distance, the restaurants that were usually brightly lit are all pitch black. From time to time, new guests were rejected in front of the door. The explanation I got was only a light saying "Full guests!"

This is not the style that Zhibinlou should have. Therefore, those who are familiar with each other have already guessed that something big happened here, but no matter how big the matter is, it doesn’t matter to you, so you will naturally hang up.

It was just that several groups of merchants who had just arrived from Ningzhou were all regular customers in Zhibinlou. For many years, as long as the Qiantang transported goods, they would definitely live here. Who would think that today is different from the past and there was no place to stay. A group of hundreds of people gathered in front of the building, shouting that Zhan Yu would come out to give an explanation.

Seventeen blue-clothed waiters stopped them and persuaded them with a pleasant look, but no matter what, it was impossible to enter the building. Compared with the troubles outside, there were nine people sitting in the most hidden building in the northeast corner of Zhibin Building, but there were dead silence!

Zhan Yi, dressed in plain yellow, sat in the main seat. The flower tea at his hand had been brewed three or four times, and his mouth was still dry. His eyes swept over the others in the seat, and finally stopped on Zhan Wenjun who was sitting side by side with him. A cold smile condensed on his face, saying, "Since everyone has nothing to say, I agree with my decision. It is better to choose a day than to meet. It is not easy for you to gather together. I came to press my fingerprints. From then on, Zhan and Tianshidao merged into one, without any distinction between each other..."

The Zhan family was not strong. After the old minister died, other relatives died one after another. Only three children were left behind, and a few of them were born in vain, but their status was low. They were not qualified to attend in such occasions as today. The legitimate sons were the third son Zhan Tian, ​​the fifth son Zhan Xi and the eighth son Zhan Hong. Zhan Tian was addicted to drinking and never got drunk for a day. Zhan Xi was addicted to gambling, and even played every night. They were all idle and idle. Except for dividing some money from the public account every month, they did not do other business. Only Zhan Hong still had some talent, but he fought with others many years ago, and broke his eyes and had three fingers. From then on, he felt ashamed, studied behind closed doors, and did not participate in family business. Therefore, in recent years, the Zhan family was able to flourish and rely entirely on Zhan Wenjun. After Zhan Wenjun left, Zhan Yun controlled it.

Zhan Yi is a smart person. Since he is in power, he never treats these people badly. Therefore, over the years, they have developed the good habit of obedience. Before he could finish his words, the oldest Zhan Tian immediately agreed and said, "Wu Qu said it well. Being able to get in love with the Taoist Tao is a blessing that no one can imagine. If our family business is given to the Taoist Taoist, the Taoist Taoist will naturally not be too slow to treat us..."

Zhan Wenjun said coldly: "Isn't the person who threatened to pay the compensation before Dou Qi? Why, today, Dou Qi, the victim, did not come, but Tianshidao sent two spiritual officials, what do you want to do?" As she spoke, her eyes looked at Li Yifeng, who was sitting in Zhan Feng's head, and another person beside Li Yifeng.

This life has a strange phenomenon. The heavenly court is protruding a lot more than ordinary people. Therefore, the eyes are deeply trapped in the frame, and the bridge of the nose is strangely curved into an indescribable strange shape. The eyebrows are short, thick, thick, and dense, but the lips are as thin as paper. It makes people look cold and unbearable.

Zhan Qi did not introduce his identity, but Zhan Wenjun held the boat pavilion in his hand and knew the world without going out. He could not guess that this was Xi Yuanda, one of the five major spiritual officials in Yangzhou, who was the first to eliminate disasters.

It is said that on the day of Xi Yuanda's birth, his mother died of dysfunction. One month later, his father died suddenly. Three months later, and a sudden mountain torrent occurred. Dozens of people died in the village, and they were extremely ugly. They were regarded as a disaster star by the villagers. After public opinion, they were thrown into the mountains to feed the wolf overnight.

Du Jingzhi, who was in his prime, was traveling by in the clouds. He saw two wolves surrounding the baby without hurting him. He was amazed and took him back to adopt him.

Thirty years passed in a blink of an eye. The abandoned baby back then is now a disaster relief officer in Yangzhou. He has a high position and a powerful reputation for a while. He is not afraid to give in to Li Yifeng!

Li Yifeng had no expression on his face, sat still, and did not speak. Logically, he and Xi Yuanda should not have attended such occasions, but Zhan Qi was not sure of dealing with Zhan Wenjun, so he strongly asked them to attend the appearance, relying on the pillars and aid.

Xi Yuanda kept lowering his head and looked at Zhan Wenjun when he heard this. A bean-like yellow eyes flashed with greed, and then disappeared in a flash. However, the woman's intuition was very terrible. Zhan Wenjun immediately felt the strangeness conveyed from him, and her body was uneasy for no reason, but she was determined and unmoved at all, and her face was no stranger.

Zhan Yi had two spiritual officials in charge today. He was confident and felt confident in winning. He said slowly: "Dou Langjun is a Taoist citizen of Tianshi Dao. He voluntarily gave the money he received to Tianshi to benefit all the people of heaven. Therefore, Du Jijiu sent Li Lingguan and Xi Lingguan to contact this matter. If you have not been in the mansion for a long time, Zhan's affairs have been less concerned, so it is not surprising that he does not know about this matter."

This is a sarcastic mockery of Zhan Wenjun as an outsider. Zhan Wenjun shook her head. She had completely given up on this benefactor who had taken good care of since childhood. She turned to Zhan Xi and said, "Fifth brother, what do you say?"

Zhan Xi yawned for a long time. He stayed up late last night to play. He was so tired that he wanted to finish his work and go to sleep immediately. He said, "Sister, you are in the Guo Mansion now, and you can't use all your money. Why do you have to covet this little property of our Zhan family? What Wu Qu said naturally has the truth of whether it is not. Just like what the third brother said, after following the Tianshi, he has to rely on it. In fact, life is different? Nothing is different..."

He and Zhan Yi were gambling friends during the game, and their friendship was not very deep. Zhan Wenjun originally had no hope for him. And it can be imagined that Zhan Yi must have promised them something, such as first dividing their own money and ensuring that they can live a worry-free life in the future, and with the shallow insights of these two people, they must believe it without doubt.

But I didn’t think about it. My family was gone and my money would be spent one day. When that time comes, others would reward you with food. That was grace. If you don’t reward you with food, you would have to wait to starve to death!

Zhan Wenjun's eyes were on Zhan Hong. She felt pity for the experience of this eighth brother and said softly: "Ah Hong, I thought you wouldn't come today..."

Zhan Hong's face was originally handsome, but he was only injured. No matter how beautiful the person looked, he became ferocious, and said with a smile: "Although I stayed behind closed doors, I also know when to go out. Sister, don't worry, I always support you!"

Zhan Wenjun sighed. If possible, she would never want this poor eighth brother who had a history of life to fall into such an internal struggle. It was just that it was important and she needed support, and Zhan Hong's support was essential.

Zhan Yi was very unhesitant and said sarcastically: "Zhan Hong, don't forget, who has provided you with the cost over the years? Don't forget, if I hadn't stood up, you would have died in that fight."

This is Zhan Hong's fatal point. Over the years, no one dared to mention the past in front of him. Zhan Hong's lips trembled, covering his sleeves, and his hands that never show their powers were tightly closed. Even Zhan Wenjun thought he was about to leave in anger, but Zhan Hong calmed down unexpectedly and said quietly, "Thank you for saving my life that day. But there is a saying that I always wanted to ask, I went to Yunlou to visit a prostitute that day, for fear that my father would know, so I had already hidden it from everyone, and did it very secretly. How did you appear in the wing room in time?"

Zhan Qi was stunned and said, "Didn't you tell you a long time ago? I was discussing things with someone that day and happened to make an appointment in Yunlou..."

"Yeah?"

Zhan Hong's eyes were very plain and said, "I thought so at first, so I believed you. In recent years, I have been studying more and more, and my knowledge seems to be a little broader. When I think of that day by chance, it seems to be slightly different from what you said..."

Zhan Yi was panicked and didn't want to continue talking about this topic anymore. He said, "It's been so many years since you've been talking about what to do. Since you choose to support a girl who is married outside, it's your power, so let's do it!"

Zhan Hong said lightly: "Thank you brother for your understanding!" He stopped mentioning the past.

Only then did Zhan Yi realize that this waste that everyone has always looked down upon seemed much more difficult to deal with than expected. Zhan Wenjun also had a strange look, staring at Zhan Hong and then, and slowly a gentle and gratifying look appeared.

"Uncle Qi, what do you think?"

Zhan Qi didn't want to get involved anymore, so he asked about an old man sitting at the head of Zhan Wenjun. The man's name was Zhan Liang, and he was the elder of the Zhan family's children and the only one who existed. He had dim eyes and white hair, but he was smart and capable when he was young and had great prestige in the Zhan family. In fact, whether it is successful or not today depends on his attitude.

Zhan Liang is also a Taoist citizen, but he is not a blind believer. He can ask him to donate money, but it is impossible to give up the entire family.

"I...I..."

What's more, after Zhan Qi's questioning, Zhan Liang stammered and looked at Zhan Wenjun in embarrassment, opening his mouth to speak, but he couldn't speak for a moment.

Zhan Yi said impatiently: "If you agree, you agree. Why are you delaying? The two spiritual officials are here, are you going to wait for you until dark?"

Zhan Liang's face turned pale, but he didn't dare to refute it. After a while, he stood up tremblingly and walked to Zhan Wenjun. His eyes were full of love and said, "You are married, you have a family business and a future. Don't get involved with these people anymore. It doesn't matter whether the Zhan family survives or not. As long as you are good, you are better than anything else."

After saying that, just as he was about to express his opinion, Zhan Wenjun grabbed him and whispered: "Uncle Qi, wait a moment, don't worry!"

Zhan Liang didn't understand why, but he knew that Zhan Wenjun was still working hard to save Zhan. He shook his head and said, "Ah, look at you brothers, you can save this time, you can't save the next time. The number of days is determined, and you can't survive if you should die. Don't worry about it anymore."

Ah Jun is a small character by Zhan Wenjun. Since she took charge of the family business, few people have called it. After listening to Zhan Liang's words, Zhan Wenjun was moved, but he said extremely firmly: "It is time to save the Zhan family's foundation, and we must not destroy it in our hands."

Zhan Liang sighed and said helplessly: "Some things, you don't know..."

At this moment, someone knocked on the door and said, "Madam, I have something important to report!"

"Come in!"

A maid gently pushed open the door, walked behind Zhan Wenjun, and said with her ears: "The news came from the western suburbs. The matter has been completed. This is a souvenir!"

Zhan Wenjun took it, handed it to Zhan Liang, and smiled and said, "Uncle Qi, Ake's handwriting is already written like this..."

"Ah?" Zhan Liang hurriedly took it. When he saw it, it was indeed written by his son Zhan Yun. He burst into tears and said, "Ah, I rely on you all."

Zhan Qi's face changed drastically. He quickly clapped his hands, and a piece came in with a few instructions, and then left in a hurry.

Zhan Wenjun's beautiful eyes were cold and said, "Zhan Yi, I don't blame you if you don't recognize me as my sister; I don't blame you if you want to sell your family; but in order to achieve your goal, you actually sent someone to kidnap Ake. Do you know that he is the son of the seventh uncle who was nearly fifty years old. If there is any mistake, it will take his life! Li Lingguan, you Tianshi Taoist, are you who sit in the Taoist Taoist and use all the vicious means to seek other people's property?"

No matter how bad things happen in secret, Tianshidao cannot ignore the law on the surface, and even be even more gentleman than gentlemen, so he used the strategy of divine deer and deer jelly. Hearing Zhan Wenjun's accusations, he naturally could not make the case. Li Yifeng frowned, looked at Zhan Yi, and said, "What Mrs. Guo said is the truth?"

After Zhan Yi was panicked, he naturally knew that Li Yifeng was expelling him and hurriedly said, "It's all nonsense, I have the same brothers and sisters as Ake, how can I do something worse than a pig or a dog?"

Li Yifeng nodded and said, "Wu Qu Langjun is a recognized gentleman in Qiantang. Since he said there was no, it was naturally nothing. I believe Mrs. Guo had some misunderstandings."

Zhan Wenjun smiled and said calmly: "Is it a misunderstanding? When the magistrate Gu arrives, he will make a clear decision!"

This time, let alone Li Yifeng, Xi Yuanda, who had never made any sound, tightened his body, and his eyebrows were frowned into an indescribable evil and gloomy.
