The noodle stall owner said happily: "These two people, one is a young white man who is a friend of women, and the other is a romantic but not obscene young master Yang."
"Friend of women, romantic but not obscene, what do these two titles mean?" Zhao Ling'er said after taking a bite of noodles.
The noodle stall owner said: "Xiaobai Langzhong is a holy hand in the apricot forest. He is especially good at healing women. Women who go to him for treatment will be cured within a few days. Therefore, Xiaobai Langzhong also has a sage hand in gynecology. Women He is called a friend of Xiaobai, so Xiaobai Langzhong is very popular with the women of Tangjiawu, and they are proud to marry Xiaobai Langzhong."
"Is the young white man also single? I saw that he and Yang Jian went to a brothel, but he didn't say so well." Zhao Ling'er said.
Where would a good man go to a brothel?
"The young white man is very self-sufficient. Even if he goes to a brothel, he never touches a woman. He only listens to music and drinks there," said the noodle stall owner.
"What about Yang Jian? Why is he called romantic but not obscene?" Zhao Ling'er said.
"Young Master Yang never uses force when pursuing women to make women automatically fall in love with him, so there are many women around Young Master Yang, and he is very kind to every woman around him, so he is romantic but not obscene." Noodle stall the boss said.
"It's so romantic to have so many women around me." Zhao Ling'er said, "How did these two become friends?"
"Maybe they have similar interests. Someone asked them and they all answered like this." The noodle stall owner said.
Zhang Ran and Zhao Ling'er finished one bowl of noodles, and Monk Ji ate sixteen bowls of noodles. Monk Ji was embarrassed when he saw so many empty bowls, so he took out nine taels of silver to pay for the noodles.
"Master Fierce Monk, you have eaten so much, do you have enough money on your body?" Zhao Ling'er said.
"I just don't have enough money, so I always go hungry. I used to be a fat man, but now I have lost weight." A bitter look appeared on the fierce monk's calm face.
Zhao Linger burst into tears after hearing the helpless words of the fierce monk.
"Two masters are here."
Five or six people ran towards Zhang Ran.
"They got the money together so quickly, it was fast enough." Zhao Ling'er said.
These five or six people were waiting outside the palace to ask Zhang Ran to get rid of ghosts. Zhang Ran wanted 100 taels of silver and went to collect the money. It had not been two hours yet, and it seemed that these five or six people had collected enough money. .
Zhang Ran's eyes flickered, not knowing what he was thinking, and he looked at the five or six people running towards him.
"Master, this is 100 taels of silver. We have collected it for you." A man held two palm-sized money bags and shook them in his hands.
"How did you get it together? You won't do anything harmful, right? I won't accept such money." Zhang Ran said.
"We didn't do anything harmful to nature. All the money was contributed by Mrs. Li and Mei Erniang."
It seemed that Mrs. Li and Mei Erniang were bleeding heavily. After all, the 100 taels of silver came from these two people, but this was in line with Zhang Ran's wishes. Then Zhang Ran said: "Where is the ghost? You lead the way and I will get rid of it."
While Zhang Ran was talking, he took the two bags of 100 taels of silver and put them away.
"We will lead the way." "We will lead the way."... five or six people said one after another.
Five or six people led the way to the cemetery on the outskirts of Tangjiawu, which was a small mass grave.
"Ghosts are haunting here. The rest is up to you, Master."
"Do you have anything Xiulan used?" Zhang Ran said.
"I'm going to ask Mrs. Li to come over." After a person finished speaking, he left. Zhang Ran waited. This person worked very quickly and came back not long after. He brought back a colorful cotton-padded jacket that he said was from Jiang Xiulan's time. worn.
Zhang Ran reached out and waved, and a fear hound appeared in front of him. He put a colorful cotton jacket in front of the fear hound's nose. The fear hound sniffed it, shook its tail, and ran in one direction.
Zhang Ran followed behind, Monk Ji and Zhao Ling'er followed behind Zhang Ran, and five or six people followed Monk Ji and Zhao Ling'er.
Finally, the fear hound stopped in front of a house, and Zhang Ran asked: "Where is this?"
"This is Mrs. Li's house."
"Xiulan ghost actually entered the Li family."
"Will Xiulan kill Mrs. Li?"
…………
Five or six people said in confusion again.
Zhang Ran knocked on the door, but after waiting for a while, no one opened it. Zhang Ran pulled out the Tongxuan knife, inserted the blade into the crack of the door, raised the blade upward, and unlocked the bolt behind the door. After picking it up, the door was opened.
Zhang Ran walked into Li's house, his ears moved, and he heard the cry of a baby and voices in the west, so he walked towards the west.
When he approached the west courtyard, Zhang Ran heard the voices in the courtyard.
"This is your family's flesh and blood, I leave it to you."
"Boy, I have a baby."
"My wish has been fulfilled, please let me go."
"Where are you going?"
"I have my place to be."
"I know I've been away from home for a few months and caused you a lot of trouble, but now I'm back."
"What's the use of coming back? I'm no longer the Xiulan I used to be."
"Why."
"I have completely changed, Changqing, my face has become ugly and rotten, and it is no longer human-shaped."
"I don't believe it. You won't change. Xiulan, I don't care what you become."
"You are not afraid."
"I'm not afraid."
"I'll show you."
"ah!"
…………
Zhang Ran was listening outside and already knew that Xiulan came to Li's house to send the child back. At this time, Li Changqing had returned from other places. Jiang Xiulan and Li Changqing met in the courtyard. They were two people. the words said.
Zhang Ran stopped listening when he heard that Jiang Xiulan showed her disfigured face and made Li Changqing lose his voice. He knew that the time had come for him to come forward, and then Zhang Ran walked into the yard.
"I can restore your disfigured face." Zhang Ran said this after walking into the yard.
"Who are you? You mean you can restore Xiulan's face?" Li Changqing said.
Zhang Ran didn't answer Li Changqing. Zhang Ran didn't have a good impression of Li Changqing. To be honest, Li Changqing was a good person. If Li Changqing hadn't gone to another place, Jiang Xiulan's situation might have been much better.
It's just that it's impossible to say that Jiang Xiulan is like this and has nothing to do with Li Changqing.
"Master, aren't you here to get rid of ghosts?" one of the five or six people said.
"Look, Jiang Xiulan is not dead. She is not a ghost." Zhang Ran said.
"Master, since Jiang Xiulan is not a ghost, so much money."
"You still have the nerve to ask for money. Jiang Xiulan has become like this, not to mention that it has nothing to do with you." Zhang Ran said: "This money will be used to restore Jiang Xiulan's appearance."
"What does it have to do with us?"
Zhang Ran didn't want to explain, so he said directly: "Get out of here." Zhang Ran's body exuded endless murderous aura. Zhang Ran's strength was enhanced by killing, so he accumulated a lot of murderous aura.
As soon as it was released, the five or six people were so frightened that they ran away.
Then Zhang Ran looked at Jiang Xiulan.
Jiang Xiulan was still stunned. She was stunned because Zhang Ran said he could cure her disfigured face. When she saw Zhang Ran looking over, Jiang Xiulan said hopefully, "Is it true?"
"It's true." Zhang Ran nodded heavily: "But before treating your face, you still need to do one thing."
Jiang Xiulan said doubtfully: "What's the matter?"
Zhang Ran said: "Go to the county government office and make your experience known to the public. You cannot suffer such injustice and let the evildoers be punished as they deserve."
Jiang Xiulan didn't understand. Zhang Ran knew that Jiang Xiulan didn't know anything about Mei Erniang's rumors about her and was only facing Mrs. Li's abuse, so Zhang Ran immediately told what happened.
After hearing this, Jiang Xiulan's face showed a look of shock. She really didn't expect that she would suffer such revenge just because she accidentally broke up Mei Erniang's affair.
Jiang Xiulan then agreed with Zhang Ran.
Li Changqing said: "I will accompany Xiulan."
Zhang Ran said: "Old Mrs. Li is very unkind to Xiulan, you have to go out to the Yamen to testify."
Li Changqing hesitated. After all, Mrs. Li was his mother, and he couldn't do it if he was asked to testify against his mother.
Zhang Ran snorted coldly, "You can't do it to your mother, so are you fair to Xiulan?" Then Zhang Ran and Jiang Xiulan left.
Zhang Ran wrote a petition, and Jiang Xiulan filed a petition with the county government in Tangjiawu, accusing Mrs. Li of abusing her, accusing Mei Erniang of spreading rumors and forcing her to death, and accusing those who spread rumors.
In fact, Jiang Xiulan didn't want to sue Mrs. Li. After all, Mrs. Li had raised her for more than ten years, and her kindness in raising her should not be forgotten. It was Zhang Ran's insistence that allowed Jiang Xiulan to continue suing. If Mrs. Li didn't know that she was wrong, Then Mrs. Li will always think that she did the right thing. When Jiang Xiulan passed out, Mrs. Li thought that Jiang Xiulan was dead. When faced with Jiang Xiulan's body, Mrs. Li had no regrets at all. .
Jiang Xiulan's three accusations immediately set Tangjiawu on fire.
They were discussing this case.
Some people say that Jiang Xiulan is in such a miserable state, some say that Jiang Xiulan is solely to blame, and so on.
When Jiang Xiulan handed over the petition, Zhang Ran arrested Mei Erniang's lover and asked her lover to write down how Mei Erniang dealt with Jiang Xiulan. What kind of good man could a person like Mei Erniang find? Moreover, Zhang Ran had an affair. However, with just a slight threat and a demonstration of the fireball technique, the lover wrote everything down and promised Zhang Ran to testify for Jiang Xiu.
Zhang Ran inquired about the county magistrate, although he did not have much political achievements, but he was not a bad official, otherwise he would not have managed Tangjiawu in such an orderly manner.
The county magistrate accepted Jiang Xiulan's case. The process went smoothly. There were witnesses and physical evidence. He sued Mei Erniang and confirmed that she was responsible for spreading rumors. He arrested Mei Erniang and the six people who were most responsible for spreading rumors. Woke up.
Mei Erniang was sentenced to death. Like modern Mei Erniang, she would not die, but this was ancient times, her behavior was too bad, and there was also the most taboo of having an affair. The two crimes together were a capital crime.
Those who spread rumors were sentenced to two years.
As for the evidence of Mrs. Li's crime, Zhang Ran didn't need to look for evidence. It could be seen from Jiang Xiulan's disfigured face. In addition, Mrs. Li usually abused Jiang Xiulan and gave Jiang Xiulan heavy chores. It was not unknown to the neighbors, so In the end, Mrs. Li was sentenced to three years. This was the result of Jiang Xiulan's plea, and she was sentenced to a few years less.
When Jiang Xiulan submitted the complaint, no one knew whether it was true or false. Now that the verdict was handed down, they all cursed Mei Erniang, Mrs. Li, and those who spread the rumors. They were so inhumane and felt very sorry for Jiang Xiulan.
Jiang Xiulan also broke up with Li Changqing. Li Changqing did not testify against Jiang Xiulan and reported Mrs. Li. Jiang Xiulan had nowhere to go. Zhang Ran invited Jiang Xiulan. Zhang Ran planned to open a billiards hall in Tangjiawu and wanted to invite Jiang Xiulan helped.
Jiang Xiulan knew that Zhang Ran was helping her, so she gratefully agreed. However, the billiards hall was just an idea of Zhang Ran's and was still under preparation, so she gave Jiang Xiulan some money and asked Jiang Xiulan to stay in the inn until the billiards hall opened. , she comes again.
