Uncle Zhang knew that his words and deeds would not be seen in the light, and when he heard this, he couldn't help but ask Han Huaizhong for help: "Huaizhong, you, you... ”

"You can control me, but I can't control him." Han Huaizhong stared at him with slightly red eyes, and although his tone was relaxed, his attitude was unprecedentedly firm.

Zhang Shuming's indifference and even coldness in the past few years, he can endure it.

But just after Huaiyi's prodigal son turned back, he was about to have a big fight with his younger brother at a critical juncture.

His father-in-law actually brought an enemy to the door to intercede for another enemy, and he looked high-sounding.

To be honest, no matter how kind and tolerant Huaizhong is, it can be regarded as completely chilling his heart.

Coupled with Han Huaiyi's reaction after what he said just now, Zhang Shuming's reaction is equivalent to completely uncovering the layer of window paper left between the two sides.

In this case, Han Huaizhong, if he still came to endure and defend Zhang Shuming, he was afraid that the ancestral tablets in his ancestral hall would fall!

When Zhang Shuming opened his mouth to stammer, Han Huaiyi said loudly outside: "What is my brother's father-in-law doing today?" After his old man came to the door, regardless of thirty-seven twenty-one, he ordered my brother to pay attention to word of mouth and not to do anything wrong with the Shi family! Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to explain to the Shi family. ”

Public opinion couldn't help but be in an uproar, and Chen Bo took the lead in scolding: "Turn your arm out, you don't listen to him!" Just ask my eldest young master not to bully the Shi family, sir, take a look in the sky, is there still a heavenly reason in this world? ”

But Han Huaiyi said: "Uncle Chen, don't worry, there is a reason in the world. But we still have to give the face of the elders, since he opened his mouth for the Shi family, okay, I will put my words here today, as long as the Shi family really comes to us, instead of playing these tricks! We help! No matter what, we can't destroy the fortune of the imperial court, right? ”

The people around him fell silent when they heard this, and the middle-aged man in the crowd who didn't know when he was standing bowed slightly.

He's actually been watching it for a long time.

At this time, Han Huaizhong in the courtyard smiled at Zhang Shuming unabashedly, as if he said to himself: "If he comes to ask my family for a favor, will it be difficult for everyone to make money together?" You have to play with these flowers. ”

He immediately walked out, stood next to his younger brother and said loudly: "What the second child of my family said is right, since my father-in-law has opened his mouth, I can't disobey it, not to mention that our Xinyihe is a time-honored brand of Caoyun, if it weren't for the court to take care of my Han family, we wouldn't be today, so we have to let go of personal grievances and help get this year's luck right first." ”

A voice immediately rang out from the crowd: "Well said." ”

The middle-aged man, who was guarded by several plainclothes servants, walked out.

This person is Pei Dazhong, the prefect of Yangzhou.

Han Huaizhong was very surprised to see that it was him, and hurriedly took his younger brother over to greet him.

Pei Dazhong, who was in his early forties, smiled and bowed his head at him: "Han Dongjia, it's not easy for you." He said to Han Huaiyi again: "The prodigal son turned around, well, you really impressed the mansion." ”

Obviously, the Han brothers' sentence that they can't destroy Cao Yun spoke to his heart.

Pei Dazhong turned back to the crowd and said, "Everyone disperses, there is nothing to see about these bustles." ”

When the prefect arrived, the people naturally obeyed in awe.

Those old mothers also let go of the thief first.

Pei Dazhong only glanced at the guy as if he didn't see it, and then entered the room at the invitation of Han Huaizhong.

The third child wanted to take the opportunity to run, but he was dragged in by the aunts, and Zhang Shuming couldn't leave if he wanted to, so he could only stand on the side.

Pei Dazhong had actually heard the truth behind the crowd.

It is said that in Yangzhou City after nightfall, the Han family made such a big commotion, and it would be wrong for Pei Dazhong to ignore it.

What's more, he was already a little worried about the fire in the Shi family last night, because Cao Yun and his future are also closely related.

After the official reported the situation here, he immediately came.

But after sitting down, Pei Dazhong still asked knowingly: "Two owners, what happened today?" ”

Of course, there was no place for a merchant in front of the prefect, but there were not so many rules at the end of the Qing Dynasty, so the Han brothers were all standing.

Hearing that the prefect asked the brothers and glanced at each other, Han Huaizhong was about to speak, but Pei Dazhong pointed at Han Huaiyi: "The prodigal son of the Han family turned back, you say." ”

Han Huaiyi's heart moved when he saw this, of course he could see that Pei Dazhong seemed to have the intention of asking knowingly, and he specially pointed to himself...

Zhang Shuming on the side immediately urinated, what good words can this guy say?

Han Huaiyi really said: "My lord, I'm afraid that this matter will disgust your ears." ”

"I knew that the second child of the Han family was bold and bold, and he was still gasping in front of this mansion, it's okay, this mansion is listening to me today."

Pei Dazhong stared at Han Huaiyi with a smile, Chen Bo trembled and served him tea, Han Huaiyi saw that Chen Bo simply took it and held it to the prefect with both hands, and said at the same time: "Yes, then I will listen to you and talk to you slowly." ”

At this moment, the subordinates of the Han family, including Gao Yuming, Zhou Ada, Yu'er and even Gao Widow, were watching from afar in the courtyard.

Yu'er saw that the second young master was neither humble nor arrogant in front of such a big official as the prefect, and she was overjoyed, so she whispered to her father: "The second young master will definitely take the opportunity to sue." ”

Zhou Ada was worried: "Who knows the thoughts of the official master, why didn't he let the eldest young master speak." ”

He was obviously worried that the loser would stab Lou Zi.

In fact, it's not just him, the entire Han family is worried, including Han Huaizhong.

Han Huaiyi doesn't care so much, it's no wonder he can let go of such a good opportunity.

He said it in a coherent way.

But what surprised Pei Dazhong by Han Huaiyi was that he did not sue directly.

Instead, the words "heard", "suddenly", and "strangely" are used to express confusion, and that's it.

Han Huaiyi said without emotion: "Today after the fire in the Shi family, I heard that many people outside suddenly spread the word that Shi Jintao came to my house to ask for help and my family to take the opportunity... But the people of the Shi family really haven't looked for the eldest brother who is under and below, and it is really strange that such words came out outside. ”

As for Zhang Shuming, Han Huaiyi also said very peacefully.

He said: "When I returned home, I heard this person asking my eldest brother how much money he was going to collect from the Shi family, and asked my eldest brother not to take the opportunity to fall into the well. ”

"Oh?" Pei Dazhong continued to ask knowingly: "Who is this?" ”

Zhang Shuming hurriedly bent down to introduce himself, and Han Huaiyi, who had been honest for a long time, turned his head suddenly: "Go to the side, didn't the adults let you speak, and it was your turn to interject?" ”

What is this ...

Zhang Shuming wanted to vomit blood without saying anything, Pei Dazhong was speechless, and Han Huaiyi continued: "Lord Hui, this is my brother's nominal father-in-law." ”

Father-in-law still has a titular one? Pei Dazhong actually knew something inside and wanted to laugh, he wanted to see what this tricky boy could say.

Han Huaiyi said: "But he is closer to the Shi family and the two who sued their late father in Yangzhou Mansion. So he is actually a lobbyist for the Shi family today. ”
