Chapter 48: Pacification (I)

The next morning, Liu Han did not guard in the store, let Lao Huang check the accounts, Liu Tie was responsible for checking the warehouse, he called the guy in the store, and asked him to lead the way to Bi Liang's house, Bi Liang's home is only two streets away from Fang City, and the man pointed to the door of the house with a locust tree at the door.

"The shopkeeper lived there. "The guy is not very old, he is only eighteen or nineteen years old, he is also a person in the store, and the deed of sale is placed in Bi Liang's house, at this moment he is a little panicked, and he doesn't know whether he should belong to the store or to Bi Liang's family.

Liu Han stood at the door, a white flag had been hung on the door, a small servant stood at the door to greet the guest, and the guy asked in a low voice if he wanted to go over and let Bi Liang's family come out to greet him. Liu Han shook his head, although Bi Liang deserved to die, he didn't want to kill them all.

"Wenwa, who is this?" The little guy obviously knew this guy, and when he saw Liu Han's aura and respectful appearance, he couldn't tell who this person was.

"This is our master," the guy reminded in a low voice with a somewhat complicated tone, the little girl's expression changed, and he hurriedly saluted Liu Han: "Please wait a while, master, I will invite the master to come and greet him." ”

"Forget it," Liu Han sighed: "The old man is dead, and the family is already busy enough, so there is no need for these false courtesies." ”

As he spoke, he was about to step in, and the little servant hurriedly replied: "Please also ask the master to be considerate of the next person, and let the little one report, otherwise the master will blame the little one, please be more considerate of the master." ”

Liu Han was stunned for a moment, and looked at the little guy with interest, the little guy quickly turned around and ran in, Liu Han looked at his back and asked, "How does Lao Bi usually treat you?"

"The shopkeeper's kindness treats us very well. Wenwa replied cautiously, Liu Han nodded slightly, although most of these people bought slaves, life and death are up to him, but after all, he is a highly educated civilized person, not a slave owner who only knows how to exploit, so from the very beginning he has formulated a buddy work and rest system, stipulating that those belong to the guys and those belong to the store, which is much better than other trading companies, it can be said that the benefits are excellent, as long as this system is implemented, the guys are naturally grateful.

"Benevolence?" Liu Han repeated noncommittally, Wenwa lowered her expression with a complicated expression, and as she was talking, the little girl had brought a young man out, the young man looked like he was in his twenties, he didn't have a filial piety hat on his head, and a filial piety belt was tied around his waist, looking at Liu Han's gaze was quite unkind.

"Master, this is my uncle, and the affairs of the family are now in charge of my uncle. The little guy nodded and said.

"Who are you?" said the uncle's tone was rather unkind.

Liu Han shook his head lightly: "I bought Lao Bi in the Western Regions Cheqian Kingdom, and his deed of sale is still in my hand," the uncle's expression changed, the little man's face was pale, and Liu Han's expression was still faint: "You'd better be polite to me, otherwise, don't blame me for being polite." ”

The uncle's expression was stunned, and he wanted to speak angrily, but the little guy hurriedly touched it lightly, and Liu Han looked at the little guy: "Who are you?

"Back to the master, the small one was bought by the master Bi. The little servant replied respectfully, and after speaking, he turned sideways and gave way to enter and exit the door.

Liu Han was about to go in, when his uncle shouted, "Slow!"

Liu Han stopped, and his uncle was very unconvinced: "When did my brother-in-law become your slave? That shop is the brainchild of my brother-in-law, you came to say it's yours, I think you are determined to seize the property, if you can't show evidence, I will go to the official mansion to sue you!"

"Sue me?" Liu Han shook his head again: "I advise you not to do this, I have already shown the deed of sale to the head of Chang'an Mansion yesterday, if you still want to see it, you can come to the store to see it, or, you go to the yamen to complain now, I guarantee you can see it." ”

The uncle blushed, Bi Liang died suddenly, the family was at a loss, and suddenly it came that Bi Liang was just a slave, and this trading company turned out to be someone else's, which made the Bi family how willing.

In addition to Bi Liang, the rest of the Bi family is his wife and children, Liu Han has long understood Bi Liang's situation, Bi Liang got married three years ago, has a son and a daughter, the daughter is two years old, and the son is only six months old.

Bi Liang was unmarried before going to the Western Regions, and his family was too poor to marry a daughter-in-law, and it was precisely because of this that he went to the Western Regions to fight for his life. His parents had already died in the past few years since he was in the Western Regions, and his brothers and sisters did not know where to go, so the Bi family is now the third mother.

Bi Liang's wife is very young, she looks like she is only in her twenties, her facial features are upright, her face is white, although she is wearing pure white filial piety clothes, she is also charming, Liu Han was slightly surprised in her heart, this Bi Liang is in her thirties, and she actually married such a young wife, but then she was a little annoyed, since Bi Liang has a wife and children at home, she is still obsessed with what that woman does, so that she will put her life on the line.

The mourning hall is very simple, there is no decoration, only a spirit card, Bi Liang's wife holds the child, and kneels on the straw mat in front of the spirit sadly. Liu Han looked for it, but only saw an empty coffin, but did not see Bi Liang's body.

"Where's Lao Bi's body?"

As soon as Liu Han's words came out, Bi Liang's wife cried loudly, and the two children couldn't help crying, and they suddenly cried again in front of the spirit.

"Master, the government said that the shopkeeper was murdered, and the body had to be examined, so it will not be returned to the family for the time being, but... The little guy was very embarrassed and explained: "The sky is so big, how can this be bad." ”

This is the era when there are no refrigerators, and even if you pile some ice on them, you won't be able to do it for long.

"******, these **** people," Liu Han couldn't help but scold: "Even the dead have to peel off a layer of skin!"

He turned his head and called his uncle over, asking him to go to the yamen to get the body back, and the uncle was very embarrassed: "The government said that the murderer can only be sent back when he is caught." ”

Liu Han looked at him like a wreck and wanted to slap him: "You don't know that this is asking for money!

If this case can be solved, then it's a hell of a thing, besides, if you do a medical examination, you will pull it away when it's over, Bi Liang's wound is obvious, and you don't have to work hard at all, this is an excuse to ask for money.

"At home, there is no money at home. The uncle replied in a low voice.

"You fart!" Liu Han was furious: "How much Bi Liang earns every year, I remember it clearly, only last year he earned thousands of taels of silver, plus the reward I gave him, how can there be more than 1,800 taels, after a few years, even if he spends a lot of money, he should have a family background of 3,000 taels of silver." ”

The uncle was stunned when he heard this, and Bi Liang's daughter-in-law's crying also stopped, staring at Liu Han with wide eyes, Liu Han felt wrong, and his tone still did not change: "What, I said something wrong? ”

"Sister, is there really no money in the family?" Seeing Liu Han's firm tone, the uncle couldn't help but ask the woman, and the woman cried again: "I took some money back two years ago, but I didn't take a few dollars this year, it must be for that little goblin!

"Damn!" Liu Han couldn't help cursing in his heart, and he probably understood what was going on, after Bi Liang became obsessed with the woman, he first paid for it himself, and then when the money was not enough, he took away a thousand taels of silver tickets from the counter twice to fill the bottomless pit that was not satisfied at all.

Liu Han took out a silver ticket and patted it to his uncle: "Take this and pull people back." The uncle looked at the silver ticket in his hand, it was one hundred taels, and after hesitation, he felt that he should still pull the person back first, and then he turned around to leave, Liu Han stopped him again and told him to let the people from the yamen put more ice, and the uncle took the person and the coffin away.

"Thank you, sir!" said the woman, who came with the child and kowtowed.

"Thank you for not need," Liu Han sighed, stroked the little girl's head, the little girl leaned a little cowering towards her mother, Liu Han smiled lightly: "Lao Bi has followed me for so many years, you orphans and widows, alas, for the sake of his hard work for so many years, I will let the store give your mother and daughter five taels of silver every month." ”

"Thank you, sir, thank you, sir!" The woman actually heard Bi Liang say that the owner of this shop was someone else, but Bi Liang concealed her slave status, she was the daughter of a good family, and she would never marry a slave.

Liu Han picked up a pillar of incense, bowed three times to Bi Liang's spirit card, and silently muttered in his heart, Lao Bi, Lao Bi, you **** bastard enough, the old man running on the rivers and lakes, is it worth it for such a woman? Now leave the orphans and widows, don't blame me underground, I let Fu Sangongzi kill you, you must die, don't blame me, blame yourself, who let you do such a thing.
