One Step to The End

"Sister-in-law! Master Song can get up..."

Zhao Guanren walked into the county’s inner house alone. Mrs. Song was welcoming him in the hall. Two concubines stood at the back and bowed to salute, but the wife and two concubines of Song Zhixian were all fat and ugly. It’s no wonder that Song Chizhu was fooling around all day long. No one can eat to such a wife and concubine.

"Master Zhao! Neglect, my master did not go to bed until early in the morning..."

Mrs. Song said anxiously: "My master told me before going to bed. He was at best a crime of oversight. Master has always listened to you!"

"Madam! Take a step to speak..."

Zhao Guanren walked into the back hall and talked to her for a few words. Mrs. Song nodded quickly and ran into the kitchen. She quickly reported a wooden box with difficulty. After opening it turned out to be a box full of gold bars. , It is estimated that no less than 40 or 50 gold.

"My lord! There are not many bank tickets at home, do you think these are enough..."

Mrs. Song looked at him out of breath. Zhao Guanren knew that banknotes were inconvenient for bribery, and ran to the bank to exchange the money and the money was well documented. He frowned and said, "I can't send such a big box. Is there any valuable Wenwan?"

"Yes! Wait a minute..."

Mrs. Song ran back quickly again, and soon came out with two brocade boxes, and said: "A pair of Liuli Zun, said to be treasures more than three hundred years ago, and a white jade fairy, the bottom is a copy of what? The mental method is said to be the first-rate profound energy mental method!"

"That's right! Warriors like minds..."

Zhao Guanren took it over and said, "Tell your master, you must communicate with me, don’t be smart by yourself. His head must be played to death. Anyway, let him do what I said, and he will definitely save his life. Wusha hat!"

"Ouch~ Thank you, Master Zhao, you are the savior of our family..."

Mrs. Song took out another stack of silver bills and stuffed him. Zhao Guanren took away the gold and antiques. Mrs. Song followed behind and thanked him very much, but he went out the door and shouted, "Mrs. I'll take the paper back and check it out first!"

"My lord! The carriage is ready..."

Luo Tan brought the flag guards to a carriage, Zhao Guanren pretended to easily put the things on it, and when he reached a secluded place, he took out the cash ticket and smiled: "Come on! Brothers, everyone. Two hundred taels, don't go to the money house to redeem it, Bai Yiwei is not a vegetarian!"

"Thank your lord!"

The flag guards received the food stamp in surprise, Luo Tan stretched out his hand to get one, but Zhao Guanren took the rest back.

"grown ups!"

The leader of the Little Governor Qi admired: "You are so awesome, you went to the magistrate's house to get the money. We spent the night with him last night, and in the end it was only a couple of teas and money per person. Let's scold him for being stingy!"

"People are not stupid, what is the use of money for you..."

Zhao Guanren smiled triumphantly: "In the future, follow me on errands. As long as you keep your mouth closed, promotion and wealth will not be a problem, and we don’t want to blackmail the common people. Go to the next one!"

"My lord, please, brothers will **** you..."

Ten flag guards nodded and bowed and invited him into the carriage. Luo Tan followed him and climbed up. He sat beside him with a smile and helped him light a cigarette. The whole person fell on top of him.

"Aren't you innocent? You want to sleep with the master so soon..."

Zhao Guanren jokingly blew a mouthful of smoke at her, and Luo Tan lay on his shoulders and said, "The slave's innocence has been taken away by the master, and the master also makes fun of others. They are not afraid of embarrassment. Anyway, the person is yours. It's yours too, Lord, don't treat others badly!"

Zhao Guanren asked, "How much can you earn in a month?"

"Our spies are the worst. We can only get a salary if we can't find a big case. You can get some subsidies if you have a big case. There are only a few dozen taels in a year..."

Luo Tan curled his lips and said: "The black guards are only superficial. The black and white guards are staring at each other, so we don’t have much oil and water. Working as a errand in Beijing, it's a pity that none of us has no way!"

"Have you seen so much gold?"

Zhao Guanren opened the box on the ground with his feet. Luo Tan instantly rounded his eyes, swallowed deeply and spit, and stammered: "No, I haven't seen it before! I have never seen it in my dreams, but Song Qizhu is out. The famous Iron Master, how could he give you so much?"

"The collar is pulled apart!"

Zhao Guanren grabbed a handful of gold bars from the box. Luo Tan pulled off his collar excitedly. Zhao Guanren threw two gold bars in and asked, "I am the first Chang Ziteng. How did the previous 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 was only three months old when he was with me. Xiangtian's grain warehouse was out of trouble. I told him not to touch that kind of tricky case, but he was anxious to do his merits, and he didn't make it for ten days. Just let him be killed, but fortunately I didn't accompany him!"

"Dangling~"

Zhao Guanren threw two more gold bars and asked, "What are Chen Qianhu's preferences, 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 serving as officials in the court, and the old man was once a minister of war..."

Luo Tan said eagerly: "I don't know Chen Qianhu. He is cold and arrogant. He never talks to his subordinates. There is only one wife and one concubine in his family. He lives in Ningzhou Prefecture with him. On weekdays, apart from playing chess, he is fishing. NS!"

"In addition to letting you report my whereabouts, did he let you get rid of me at any time..."

Zhao Guanren grabbed a handful of gold bars again, but Luo Tan shook his head and said: "No! Just let me monitor you according to the normal rules, and report any unscrupulous behavior to him, and let me tell you, Bian Xie the two families don't touch it again. They give you gifts, but you are not allowed to knock on the door!"

"Don't let people see things, take 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 have received five thousand taels of silver from Song Chizhu, one hundred taels of gold, one piece each for antiques and one piece of mind. I divided it privately. Two thousand taels!"

"Master! This is too much, right..."

Luo Tan looked at him with a painful expression on her face. Zhao Guanren pinched her chin and smiled: "Oh~ I feel sorry for our family’s money, but how can I take less, and I will only hand over half of it. good!"

"Ah? If he knows that you are greedy for ink, he won't trouble you..."

Luo Tan looked at him in surprise, Zhao Guanren smiled without explaining.

In fact, he wanted Chen Qianhu to believe that he was just a greedy and lustful villain, and Luo Tan was also doing his duty. Otherwise, a wise man who is not greedy and lustful would dare not stay by his side.

"My lord! It's here..."

The flag guards shouted vigorously, Zhao Guanren jumped out of the carriage and went straight to a house. Although the owner of the house was just a small official, he was a big worm who was in charge of the grain depot. He was absolutely rich in oil and water.

really!

This goods actually gave a whole box of cash, and it was so heavy that Zhao Guanren could not carry it alone, and the four flag guards hummed away, followed by a few more, and even the landlord’s strong house did not release it. After that, the last carriage couldn't move.

"Huh? Hu Xian Cheng is dead..."

Zhao Guanren was taken aback as soon as he walked in. Hu's family was full of white silk, and there was a coffin in the hall, but apart from his wife and daughter and the two-bedroom concubine, no one dared to come to express their condolences, and even the subordinates ran away. .

"Woo~ my master hanged himself in the early morning..."

Madam Hu knelt on the ground and cried and turned into tears. Her sons and daughters almost fainted from crying. When Zhao Guanren walked to the coffin in surprise, it turned out that Hu Xiancheng was lying upright in it, and the scar on her neck was obviously hanging. Committed suicide.

"Master! This is abandoning the car to protect the handsome..."

Luo Tanfuer said: "I asked the brother of Ye Hei, not to let the prefect of the king be moved, even if Hu Xian Cheng committed suicide by himself, dirty water would be spilled on him!"

"Guguan! I killed you..."

Sudden!

A girl rushed out of the side hall, raised her sword high and struck Zhao Guanren, Luo Tan kicked her out with one kick, and drew the knife to kill her, but Madam Hu threw out and cried. "My lord, spare your life! This is my girl!"

"Girl! I didn't harm your father..."

Zhao Guanren pulled Luotan behind, but the girl cried angrily: "I know you! You are Zhao Yunxuan who was in the office last night. You forced my father to death. My father is innocent and he did not poison him. , No harm!"

"Girl! I never said that your father was poisoned, not even the black guard..."

Zhao Guanren walked over and said: "I have been helping your father, but he didn't listen to me at a critical moment. He chose his Shangguan, and finally they abandoned the car to protect the handsome. Your father became a victim. If you let him choose one more time, I believe He will listen to me, understand?"

"Master Zhao! The girl is ignorant, please don't blame it..."

Madam Hu held her daughter in tears, and only she understood the inside story, so Zhao Guanren took out a silver ticket and handed it to her, reluctantly saying something sorrowful.

suddenly!

A lean middle-aged man stepped in, dressed in a gray gown with his cuffs rolled up. He was taken aback when he saw the black guard, but he still bowed and paid respects. The Hu family also hurriedly returned the salute. The first person to come to mourn.

"You are the owner of the Han's shop..."

Zhao Guanren remembers that this man's shop was opened in Mashi Street, selling things like firewood, rice, oil, salt, etc., because of the dexterity and beauty of the two girls, he had a little impression.

"Master Zhang, no! Master Zhao, my next person Han Dongsheng..."

Han Dongsheng turned around and saluted after sending the silk gold, and said: "I and Mr. Hu are from the same hometown. He has always taken care of me. Who would have thought that he would leave suddenly when he said, it's really impermanent in life!"

"You are a real person, but few people dare to come to mourn him..."

Zhao Guanren nodded lightly. Who knew that a large group of people suddenly rushed in outside, and it turned out that the black and white guards came together, and the imposing posture was unkind at first sight.

"Come to copy the house!"

Luo Tan was surprised and let it aside, but Zhao Guanren greeted him in surprise and said, "No, everyone, Hu Xiancheng hasn't been buried yet, so you are in a hurry to ransack the house. Anyway, wait for the first seven!"

"What Hu Xiancheng, this is a prisoner who feared and committed suicide..."

A hundred people in white clothes raised up the official document and stamped it with several red stamps. He said in a cold voice, "If you have any objections, you can go to your senior official to care about it. This is covered with his official seal. Don't stop me from waiting for the errand, get out of the way!"

"My lord! For such a serious crime, it is inevitable to rob the home..."

Luo Tan hurriedly pulled Zhao Guanren aside, and hundreds of households in white clothes stepped forward and read the official documents. There were a lot of crimes listed. In the end, all the family properties were confiscated. Official prostitute.

"There is no reason! Lost and conscience..."

Madam Hu wailed her chest, and her daughter even picked up the sword to slay herself, but was taken down by the black guards, put on the iron cable and pulled away. Even the teenage boy didn’t let it go. Start moving valuable property.

"Master Zhao! Please help the slave's husband to be buried, please..."

Madam Hu cried sternly in the courtyard, her daughter also cried and pleaded and admitted her mistakes, Zhao Guanren naturally nodded and agreed without hesitation, and the impatient Han Dongsheng hurried out.

"You can't care about this, don't burn yourself..."

Zhao Guanren dragged the impulsive Han Dongsheng back and walked to the coffin to look at Hu Xiancheng who suddenly opened his eyes. He closed his eyes twice before making Hu Xiancheng close his eyes, and sighed: "Why~ I knew that today, why bother you were back then. , You think they use you as siblings, they use you as sand sculptures!"
