291: Kill the chicken without the monkey [Happy New Year](2/2)

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 the guests and hosts took their seats.

He said: "My brother."

When Shen Tang heard this, his 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 he didn't expect to see 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 the Wenxin monogram on Mr. Shen's waist and his elegant style, I would have thought that Mr. Shen was a fairy from heaven who came down to earth... I would venture to say so. Ask, is Mr. Shen married?"

Shen Tang: "...Nothing."

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 could run rampant for so many years and still have 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: "..."

Expression management is almost out of control.

I don’t know whether I should complain about being matched with a young girl when I was twelve years old, or complain about the look in the head’s younger brother’s eyes - 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 heavy taste and actually wanted to introduce her daughter to the person she was eyeing. The aristocratic circle was really chaotic. She refused: "Marriage requires the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, and the age I'm still young, so I don't have the time to think about it."

Career is far more fragrant than love.

The head of the Zhang family did not interrupt.

He is the elder brother, and 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 words were getting more and more embarrassing, he cut off the topic and asked Shen Tang about the reason for his visit - was it Mengxin who came to visit the dock to beg for a thigh, or was he here to inquire about the situation?

Shen Tang's answer was neither.

She came 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 wondered about the authenticity of Shen Tang's words.

Come to think of it, the so-called missing person was a lie. He used the pretext of searching for a person to establish a relationship with the Zhang family. He built the plank road openly and secretly visited Chen Cang. It was true that there were no county guards who did this in the past. But that county guard cast a wide net and used his feet to find someone. He boarded several boats and freely interfered with the competition between Heyin families. He was killed when he was discovered.

Shen Tang was afraid of "repeating the same old tricks".

After some thought, I had 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 is? What are his characteristics? How many people are in the family? Where is his place of origin?"

The head of the Zhang family was going to send Shen Tang away with a few perfunctory words.

He, Mr. Zhang, does not engage in any family-finding projects.

Shen Tang came up with a set of arguments that 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 agreed perfunctorily.

He asked again: "No one can be found in the household register of the administrative office?"

"My sister must have come to Heyin two years ago. At that time, there were frequent wars, and there was no time to register the household registration in Heyin..."

Shen Tang sighed as he spoke.

The head of the Zhang family laughed inwardly.

What is "too late to register"?

How can 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 expenses were cut everywhere and management of the 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, your death will be in vain.

Not much trouble...

Thinking of this, the head of the Zhang family had a sudden thought in his heart and his eyelids trembled - this Mr. Shen is outstanding in appearance, and his sister must be not weak either. If he is born with a beautiful face and comes to Heyin with the refugees, there is no guarantee that he will not be favored by his own brother. ——He secretly glanced at his obsessed and greedy 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.

But you can't let others hold the handle to make a raft.

After some testing, it was discovered that no, Shen Tang didn't act like he had lost a blood relative at all, but really seemed to come to him to help find his relatives. The head of the Zhang family felt a little calmer - what could a twelve-year-old boy have up his sleeves? The scheming cannot cover everything.

He said: "I will tell my servants 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, "With Mr. Zhang's words, I feel relieved."

After finishing speaking, there was a pause.

"By the way, there's 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 even find people to repair it. I came here this time because I wanted to borrow some money from Duke Zhang to study in the severe winter. In the past, I had taken in too many people who were displaced by the war. I'm afraid that my meager family background is..."

She smiled sheepishly.

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 became adept at crying 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 asking the wrong person to borrow money from them.

The young governor in front of him was young, and his face turned red after being criticized. He hesitated and said: "Yes, but -"

The head of the Zhang family became impatient.

Said: "Please Shen Jun understand our difficulties."

Shen Tang pursed his lips, his moist eyes looked aggrieved, and one could not help but feel affection for him - specifically referring to the "mountain pig spirit". The head of the Zhang family only felt upset - but the words coming out of those red lips made people feel sad. His nerves were on edge: "I checked the taxes of the past few years and found that one cent of the city tax has not been paid for the business under Zhang's name. He has more than a hundred hectares of land under his name, and only paid a hundred liters of taxes... Is this not easy?"

The words fell.

The young man's eyes suddenly became as sharp as knives.

Straight to the heart!
