"Pay with life?" Zhang Qiang snorted disdainfully: "Then he must be able to find the murderer! The newly made gun in Shishan has a range of more than 500 steps. Killing a person is easier than killing a chicken! Kill him with one arrow If you kill him, by the time someone else comes to find him, he will have disappeared, so where can you find the murderer?"
"But there is no airtight wall in the world. He is a genuine Marquis after all. If Xiao Han is reckless, will he suffer a loss?!" Xiao Min looked at Zhang Qiang's confident look, but secretly she was still a little worried.
"Don't worry about this. If Xiao Han decides to do it, with his weird ideas, he can definitely do it without anyone noticing!" After saying that, Zhang Qiang winked at Xiao Min and said: "Actually, you don't Do you think this matter is not bad this time?"
"Not bad? Isn't this bad?" Xiao Min asked in surprise. When she thought about it, the person she loved was about to be snatched away. If this wasn't a bad thing, what else could be bad? !
But Zhang Qiang chuckled and said somewhat mysteriously: "Don't you understand? Let me tell you what my husband is saying. Even though I am a rough guy, I also have a lot of tricks up my sleeve! Don't you think there is something wrong with Xiao Han now? "
"Something's wrong?" Xiao Min didn't know what the husband was referring to. She tilted her head and thought for a while, but she still had no clue. She had to ask Zhang Qiang: "What's wrong? I didn't see it. Isn't he very good?"
Zhang Qiang saw Xiao Min tilting her head cutely, and couldn't help but leaned over and kissed Xiao Min hard on the face. Xiao Min quickly resisted the itch. The two played for a while, and Zhang Qiang rolled his eyes at Xiao Min several times. Then he took back An Lushan's claws with a smile.
He continued: "You play crazy every day, how can you tell anything? Think about it carefully, have you ever seen such a young and low-key person like him before? Furthermore, from some of the things he has done Looking at it, I can clearly feel that he is afraid of something and wants to hide back. Now, look, he is almost turning into a rich country man!
He is nowhere to be seen in the court, and he never attends various banquets, as if someone is trying to harm him! This is very bad.
You must know that in this ghost world, if you don't hide, it will let you go! Everything needs to be faced with difficulties, only then can we persevere and eventually become great! If he wants to stop Xue Pan's marriage this time, it will definitely not go well. Once he is frustrated, he will naturally realize that those who hide behind are powerless. There are some things that he must fight for! The truth I understand in this way is more effective than if I explain it ten thousand times! "
Xiao Min, who had just finished playing, looked a little flushed, but when her husband said these words that he had never said before, his face gradually became serious.
She could understand some of what Zhang Qiang said, but not others, but this did not prevent her from looking at him with admiration. She knew that her husband actually had a secret, and she believed in it. suspect.
However, she seemed to have forgotten that the most unbearable thing for men is the adoring eyes of women... By the time Xiao Min noticed something was wrong with Zhang Qiang's breathing, it seemed to be too late...
"Ah...what are you going to do? Put me down quickly..."
"Hey, put it down, my husband will put you down right away~"
The next day, the sky was just getting slightly brighter, and Xiao Han got up. The circles under his eyes were a little dark. He couldn't fall asleep after struggling all night last night. He finally closed his eyes when the morning star rose, but at this time, the damn chicken cried again.
When Zhang Qiang covered his waist and saw Xiao Han, Xiao Han was eating breakfast in the room. He mechanically stuffed a bowl of millet porridge into his mouth. His eyes had drifted far away, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
Seeing this, Zhang Qiang didn't bother him. He sat down on an empty seat and began to close his eyes and meditate. A long separation was better than a wedding. He had been ridiculous last night, so it was time to rest.
"Eh? Zhang Qiang, when did you come?"
I don't know how long it took, but Xiao Han drank up the bowl of porridge. When the spoon squeaked when he bit into it, Xiao Han woke up and saw Zhang Qiang on his seat for the first time.
Zhang Qiang opened his eyes and glanced at Xiao Han: "I just came here. How are you? What do you think?"
"What do you think?" Xiao Han looked at Zhang Qiang with some confusion.
Zhang Qiang glared at Xiao Han and tapped the handle of the chair with his fingers: "Hey, why are you pretending! Let me ask you, what do you think of Xue Pan? Are you going to steal the bride or kill the fat man? You say something, brother, I will definitely help you!"
When Xiao Han heard Zhang Qiang's direct statement, he felt a rare shyness and said to Zhang Qiang with a red face: "Well, Xue Pan and I have nothing to do. I don't know if she has a crush on me..."
"You don't know?" Zhang Qiang's eyes became more and more glaring, looking a little scary!
"You! You! Hey! You are such a big man, and you don't even have a thorough understanding of children. Go and grab what a man likes! You are always waiting here. You really think that you are a piece of cake, and everyone has to go first. Come here to show your kindness? Say I like you, take me away, who do you think you are! Jin Yuanbao?! You are so pedantic that it is simply unreasonable!"
Xiao Han was spit on Zhang Qiang's face and hurriedly hid aside: "Okay, okay, I'm pedantic, and I can't compare to you, a beast who only marries two as soon as he gets married. I'll go visit Xue Pan's house tomorrow, okay. Bar!"
"Tomorrow?? Why don't you go next year?"
"Today, today, go now, okay!"
Zhang Qiang heard what Xiao Han said, and then he snorted angrily and said: "That's pretty much it. Remember, bring more gifts! Don't be ignorant and go empty-handed!"
"Nonsense, of course I know this! Eh? You won't come with me?"
"No, why should I go? You, the new uncle, are going to your mother-in-law's house, why should I go with you?! Stop being so nagging, get up quickly, go early and come back early, don't leave a bad impression on others! "
"You didn't even say a word, but you said it first..." He slandered Zhang Qiang, and when Zhang Qiang was about to kick him, he quickly ran out of the door. Not to mention, with Zhang Qiang's move, Xiao Han's calves were running lightly, and he called Butler Lu to prepare a gift for him. He wanted to go to Chang'an quickly, for fear that he would be late and the beauty would follow someone else~
A carriage and a fast horse were galloping on the road, kicking up a cloud of dust. All the pedestrians on the road covered their noses to avoid it. When the carriage passed by, they spit out bitterly and cursed a few words, such as running so fast, rushing to reincarnate. Let’s vent!
Of course, this can only be said behind the scenes. In these days, those who can ride a donkey are from well-off families, and those who can ride a horse only belong to wealthy families.
Xiao Han stayed in the carriage and was practicing over and over again what to say when he arrived at the Xue family. He didn't know that he had been scolded as a sieve. Zhang Qiang's words were reasonable. His first impression must not be careless. .
The new type of carriage ran very fast, not much slower than a fast horse. When Xiao Han had just practiced and accepted questioning, the fool driving the carriage in front said that Chang'an City had arrived.
"Why did you run so fast this time?" Xiao Han, who was concentrating on rehearsing along the way, muttered, then opened the curtain, stretched out his head and looked ahead. He hadn't seen Chang'an in some days, and Chang'an still looked like that. For it, time is like, It's as if it's still.
Nobles did not need to pay taxes when entering the city. The idiot drove the carriage directly past the people queuing up to pay taxes. The tax collectors did not even dare to come up and respectfully waited for the carriage to pass by.
Xiao Han has long been immersed in the evil feudal society. The privileges that he once hated so much in later generations are now used by himself, and he feels really good...
Entering the city gate unimpeded, as Xiaodong drove past on the broad street, the Chang'an people on both sides ducked. Although there were no marks on the carriage, the Chang'an people could tell who was on the carriage just by looking at the horse and servant. People are either rich or noble, and if you offend the people on the carriage, you will get a whipping in vain, but it is not worth it...
Before coming, Xiao Han had already inquired about Xue Pan's home in Anyifang, very close to Dongshi, and Xiao Han had long known that her family had a shop in Dongshi, selling some expensive appliances and the like. , in Chang'an, they are definitely considered to be the upper class.
After walking through the crowded streets, Xiao Han arrived at Anyi Square at noon. At this time, people were going home to rest one after another. The street was a little quiet. Xiaodong finally found someone to bask in the sun at the door. The old man finally asked the specific location of Xue Pan's house and led the carriage there first.
Xiao Han once heard Zhang Qiang say that the Xue family was definitely a wealthy family in the previous dynasty. The Xue family, with Xue Shou's father Xue Daoheng as the head of the family, had many officials and was even more famous in Chang'an City. unlimited!
However, it is really a pity that the Xue family, which has a prosperous family, has Yang Guang as its master.
Xue Daoheng, a third-rank official and a highly respected official, was sentenced to death by Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty just because his performance was not up to the mark. This is a great injustice in the world! And as the pillars of the family collapsed, the Xue family could not escape the eternal rule that the tree fell and the monkeys scattered.
In just a few years, the Xue family declined rapidly. The clan members left and dispersed. The Xue family experienced the ups and downs of the world for a while. Although Xue Shou, who grew up later, tried his best to support this former wealthy family, But compared with the Xue family of the past, it is still far, far away...
The Xue family's house is very large. This is the property left by Xue Daoheng. The huge house is even more generous than the Marquis Mansion. The tall lintel has two large vermilion characters of Xue Mansion nailed on it. It looks extremely luxurious, but the door is so big. There are two small stone lions standing in front of them, which look a bit awkward no matter how you look at them!
There is no way. The Ministry of Rites of the Tang Dynasty has regulations on what kind of family should have a lion of what size. Although the Xue family has made some money through business, they still have not climbed to the point where they have the right to speak in the court. Originally, The pair of large lions were removed, leaving only two large stone pedestals holding up the small lions, which was disturbing to watch.
