one step closer to the end

Zhao Guanren stared at the female ghost and asked, "There is a girl about seventeen or eighteen years old who reaches my chin and has a mole at the corner of her mouth. Do you know who she is?"

"My lord! It's that female ghost..."

The two women rushed over and hugged his thigh, and Mrs. Xie said in horror: "My lord! You, what you are talking about is a servant. Last night my husband annoyed her talking nonsense and hung her in the backyard to feed the mosquitoes. I just whipped her a few times, and somehow died, and turned into a ghost in the early morning to seek revenge!"

"Girl! Look at me, can you talk..."

Zhao Guanren pushed away the two women beside his legs. When the two women saw him staring at the air and talking, they screamed in shock and hid in the corner of the room. But the female ghost, like Qi Banjin last night, had become an unconscious lunatic. They only know how to chase after the enemy with their teeth and claws.

"Let's see if you still dare to bully others in the future, they have come to seek revenge from you..."

Zhao Guanren walked over and punched the female ghost. The female ghost shattered in front of him and dissipated into a puff of gray smoke. Mrs. Xie hiccupped and fell limply to the ground. Second Miss Xie also I was so scared that I peed my pants on the spot.

"Where is the maid's body..."

Zhao Guanren kicked Miss San, she pointed to the backyard in horror, and kept saying sorry.

'Strange!Why did Onmyoji appear in Xie's house...'

Zhao Guanren walked towards the backyard thoughtfully. Now that the troops of the Ningzhou Guard are dispatched, they are searching for people from the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. No matter how brave they are, they dare not stay in the city.

"Ok?"

Zhao Guanren saw that the maid's body was hanging from a tree, surrounded by neat flowers and plants, but not a single fly or mosquito lay down, and her belly was round as if she was pregnant.

"Damn it! It turned out to be a gift for me, the bitch is quite vengeful..."

Zhao Guanren knew it with his soul-chasing eyes. The stomach of the corpse was full of poisonous insects. Poisonous insects are also living things. It is very disgusting to squeeze in the stomach densely. It is estimated that it will explode if touched. It is clearly aimed at him. The trap raised by this plague.

"Girl! I'll let your young master come to bury you with you, and the grievances will be gone..."

Zhao Guanren bowed to the servant girl. This kind of trap is very difficult to deal with. The poisonous insects will definitely fly around and crawl around when they are exploded. It is unknown how many people will be bitten by then. Moreover, the young master of the Xie family is dead. Onmyoji knows him Will definitely come and see for myself.

"Dong Cheng! Quickly go to the coffin shop and bring the thin coffin, and bring two barrels of kerosene..."

Zhao Guanren went out and called the epidemic inspector. He was going to put the corpses into coffins and seal them up. He dug a big hole in the backyard and burned them directly. The corpses of young master Xie and others must not be let go. Who knows what will be inside their bodies.

"Son! My son..."

When the raging fire ignited in the small courtyard, Madam Xie cried heart-rendingly, but Mr. Xie just howled twice symbolically. After all, he had three sons from his concubines, and he had six sons from his concubines. Rather, it was a relief.

"My lord! Who harmed my son..."

Member Xie looked at Zhao Guanren in grief and indignation, Zhao Guanren said with disgust: "Ask your eldest daughter-in-law, your son killed a maid, she turned into a ghost and came to seek revenge on him, there is a lot of resentment in the corpse, don't burn it It can poison your whole family to death!"

"Father! There is really a ghost..."

The third lady ran over crying and told Zhao Guanren about the exorcism, but Zhao Guanren said again: "To gather virtue is to gather wealth. Don't think that eating fast and reciting Buddha will keep you safe. You Xie family should do more good deeds." Alright, otherwise no amount of family property will be able to hold on!"

Zhao Guanren left after thanking his family for his kindness, and rode his horse straight to the Bian family compound. The house arrest of the Bian family has been lifted, the compound has regained its former vitality, and the closed shops have reopened.

"My lord! You are here..."

Bian Yuanwai personally brought people to greet Zhao Guanren. After taking the detoxification medicine, his energy and spirit improved a lot. The whole family came out to welcome Zhao Guanren with gratitude. Bian Xiaotai even kowtowed three times to him, but Bian Xianglan was missing. That tall figure.

"Old man, don't worry, Bian Xianglan will be a singer with the little princess, and she won't treat her badly..."

Zhao Guanren walked forward with them with a smile, and Bian said with tears in his eyes: "My lord! I know that you have helped me a lot. You are a great benefactor of our family. I don't want to be rich in the future. I just want the family to be safe, my little girl." I will send it to your mansion tonight as a concubine!"

"I was angry at the time, why did you take it seriously..."

Zhao Guanren smiled and looked at the Sixth Miss of the Bian family. Bian Yulei lowered her head shyly. Her shy appearance was so mouth-watering that Bian Yuanwai called several times before he heard it.

"Ah? Han Dongsheng is here too, so that's just right..."

Zhao Guanren subconsciously wiped his saliva, and followed Bian Yuanwai into the living room. Han Tiansheng, who made the mask, had already been waiting in it. Han Ji and the big shopkeepers of Xie's family also came. Bian Yulei took the teapot herself, and went forward to make it for Zhao Guanren. Tea.

"Liuliu! Are you really willing to commit yourself to being a concubine? The young master will carry you in with a sedan chair, okay..."

Zhao Guanren secretly grabbed Bian Yulei's clothes. In fact, Bian Yulei was more beautiful than her elder sister. She had white skin and a mixed-race face. With a little dressing up, she could be a star embryo. The key was that she was only 16 years old.

"I'm not wronged!"

Bian Yulei said in a low voice shyly: "The slave family told you the same day, as long as you can help our family, the slave family is willing to enter the house through the back door and serve you as a slave for the rest of your life, but... it is good to be able to sit in a sedan chair. The slave family also wants to bring a girl, wear a wedding dress and cover her head, okay?"

"Come on! Master told you..."

Zhao Guanren pulled her over and whispered to her, Bian Yulei covered her mouth and giggled, and the seven or eight elders in the room couldn't laugh or cry, and actually left them aside and picked up her sister.

"Master!"

The shopkeeper of the Xie family smiled wryly: "Look at how much your lord loves Miss Six, and sent her to Zhao's residence a few days ago, why bother to do these crap things!"

"Stop talking! I won't cry when I see the coffin..."

Bian Yuanwai could tell that Zhao Guanren had already taken a fancy to his daughter. If he had said it well back then, don't say anything about being a concubine, he would probably happily marry her as a wife.

"People don't tell you anymore, you are good or bad..."

Bian Yulei stomped her feet shyly, bit her red lips and ran out quickly, causing everyone to roar with laughter.

Zhao Guanren smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, Ms. Bian is too sweet, I can't help it for a while, where did you talk?"

"Of course, my lord has to decide, who will get the Iron Voucher of the Dan Book..."

The shopkeeper of Han Ji cupped his hands, but Zhao Guanren said disdainfully: "Love so and so! You are fighting for a broken brand. This is the imperial court's means to divide you. If you can unite, the imperial court dares to punish you." life and death?"

"My lord! Don't talk nonsense about this..."

Several people's faces changed in shock, and Han Dongsheng even rushed to close the door.

"Originally, Yuan Xie was supposed to come to the meeting, but he just died of his son, so he asked me to convey his meaning..."

Zhao Guanren said: "Building weapons for the guards doesn't make money at all, it's just for the license of the imperial merchants, so I suggest that the three of you form a joint venture to set up a Lanshuihe firm, and all the business will be done together and twisted into a rope. Become the number one in the country!"

"I'm afraid it won't work..."

Officer Bian was surprised and said: "The three of us are all standing behind us, and all the money we earn has to be distributed. Besides, they have different factions, so they can't get a piece of it!"

"People are divided into factions, but money is not divided..."

Zhao Guanren said with a smile: "You earn a lot, they take a lot, no one will have any objections, and I'm afraid that if you don't take them to play, they will flatter you in turn, even the emperor expects you to pay more taxes, and if your waist is hard, you will pay more taxes." He will not be slaughtered by others, and he has to be polite when the imperial envoy comes!"

Han Dongsheng immediately said: "I listened to the adults, what the adults said is definitely right!"

"Just listen to me, the patent in your hand can't be sold cheap..."

Zhao Guanren suddenly took out a lump of soil from his pocket, and said with a smile: "This thing is called potatoes. The treasures copied from Qi Banjin's house, as well as hybrid rice, tin cans, penicillin and grenades, are the capital for you to become the richest man in the world!"

"We don't understand what your lord said, how much is your lord going to share..."

The treasurer of the Xie family looked at him eagerly, and Zhao Guanren waved his hands and smiled again: "I won't take any money, as long as you can fully support me when I need you!"

Chapter 0467

Ten days passed in the blink of an eye, and the first seven days of Mr. Kidney Deficiency passed three days...

Kelantai County seems to have become the center of a storm. All kinds of civil servants and military officials are running here. Some come to investigate cases, some come to study in meetings, and some are busy flattering. Many businessmen with a keen sense of smell have also come. .

Guanyue Pavilion has reopened, the proprietress is the former Crescent Fairy, and the boat ladies are back, there are more than ten more boats on the Lanshui River, all kinds of mad bees, waves and butterflies come together, and all kinds of entertainers are all over the street , every day is as lively as going to the market.

But everyone is waiting and watching, including Zhao Guanren who is so low-key...

"The decree has arrived!"

A father-in-law came from the palace with a paper tube and walked to the gate of the county government office. The imperial decree that was delivered urgently at eight hundred miles was actually delivered half an hour ago, but everyone had to dress neatly and pretend to take a bath and change clothes , By the way, put three sticks of incense on the altar.

"Why don't you give me a cushion, the imperial decree must be a long story..."

Zhao Guanren turned his head and glared at Song Chizhu. He could only kneel in the third row as a fifth-rank official, with a row of asses of various colors in front of him.

The prince, the chief assistant, the prefect, the prefect, and all kinds of generals are all here. Anyway, all the officials from the neighboring states and the capital have come. Zhao Guanren has been fattened these days. However, there is only Tan Qingning in Jingdu's guard field.

"Two imperial decrees! I can't write one of them..."

Song Chizhu hurriedly winked, only to see that after the old man opened the paper tube in public, there were actually two copies of the imperial decree in it, but it was not a lot of gossip, it was a reward for Song Chizhu.

"Song Chizhu, magistrate of Lantai County, worried about the country and the people, with outstanding ability, was promoted to deputy envoy of the Salt Transportation Department, awarded..."

"Fuck!"

Song Chizhu's fat body shook with excitement, and the hairs on the back of his neck stood up. The old man didn't know what was going on behind him, but the eyes of the surrounding officials were all red with envy.

"What official? A few grades..."

Zhao Guanren looked back at him, and Song Chizhu stammered with a flushed face, "Five grades! Cong, I'm going to be an official in Beijing. The fattest, fattest salt transportation department is in charge of salt affairs across the country. Third in command, from now on, I will take care of your family's salt, and I will take care of the girls, too, they are all Yangcheng skinny horses!"

"Dismissal and investigation!!!"

suddenly!

While the two were having a sneaky conversation, Wang Zhifu suddenly collapsed on the ground and cried out in grief, but two guards immediately took off his official robes and black hats, and dragged him out of the yard out.

"Haha~ This sand sculpture, let him fight with us..."

Song Chizhu gloated and laughed, but was immediately kicked by Qian Tongzhi. Who knew that Qian Tongzhi, the second-in-command, did not replace him, but parachuted a prefect of Ningzhou from the capital. The vacancies Song Chizhu vacated were filled by airborne officers.

"It's all the emperor's people, the emperor wants to focus on our Ningzhou..."

Tan Qingning reminded in a low voice beside him, and Zhao Guanren could tell that a fifth-rank official came to Lantai to serve as a seventh-rank magistrate. Sent down as eyeliner.

"Deputy Qianhu of the Jingdu Weichang, Tan Qingning listened to the order..."

The old man suddenly clicked on Tan Qingning's name, and everyone pricked up their ears. Tan Qingning's promotion represented the fate of the entire Jingdu Guard. If Tan Qingning was transferred to another place, the Jingdu Guard would be completely disintegrated.

"Tan Qingning has made outstanding military exploits and made great contributions to protecting the country. From now on, she will be promoted to the flag of the governor of the White Clothes Guard..."

"Beautiful! I have to call you an adult..."

Zhao Guanren grinned at Tan Qingning, the Governor's Banner is one level older than Qianhu, a serious official from the fourth rank, if Tan Qingning is not too young, only 23 years old, the emperor may directly promote her to the fourth rank Taste.

"The minister leads the order!"

Tan Qingning turned her head and said in a low voice: "This is not a good thing. The deputy commander of Bai Yiwei has been dismissed. Although my master has not moved, it is still dangerous. My senior brother has also been escorted back to Beijing. When I return to Beijing, I am afraid that I will investigate them personally. They want to put me on the fire!"

"Why do you want to investigate? Aren't you afraid that you will be selfish..."

Zhao Guanren looked at her in confusion, and Tan Qingning said anxiously: "There are people in white guards staring at me, how can I go for selfishness, the emperor didn't give me any credit at all, my credit is only to save the head, after the investigation, the guard Definitely need a bloodbath!"

"Hmm~"

The old man suddenly coughed lightly, reminding the two people who kept whispering, and read aloud: "The imperial envoy and his party will return to Beijing immediately, and they will be escorted by the Panshan Army along the way. They must not enter the city on the way, and must not contact outsiders. The poisonous powder must be kept properly. Leak, everyone will be executed, this is it!"

"The minister leads the order!"

Xia Shoufu subconsciously got up to receive the decree, the old man gave a hasty wink, and then he remembered that there was still an imperial decree that he hadn't read, so he quickly lifted up his robe and knelt back, and the old man also changed into another very short imperial decree.

"The epidemic promoted Zhao Yunxuan, stepped forward to listen to the order, stepped forward to listen to the order..."

"Master Zhao! I'm calling you, I want you to kneel in front of me to listen to the order..."

The officials hurriedly pushed Zhao Guanren, but Zhao Guanren actually put on a mask, jumped half a step forward and cupped his hands and said, "Elder-in-law! It's not that I don't understand the rules, your two guards' legs are weak from burning, I Seeing your complexion is disgusting, I'm afraid it's an infectious disease?"

"Damn it! Damn you didn't say it earlier..."

Prince Duan quickly backed away in fright, and the officials also fled back like a nest. They even took out their masks and put them on. This group of people had been with Zhao Guanren for a long time, and their catchphrases were all misled by him.

"My lord! Don't you want to scare our family..."

The faces of the old man and several guards changed. Zhao Guanren hurriedly waved to the back. The two patrol officers immediately put on full equipment, took out a thermometer copied from Qi Banjin's house, and put it directly on the mouth of a guard. Rise to go.

"Hold it tight! Open your mouth and let me see..."

The inspectors are all experienced doctors. They inspected the eight members of the decree respectively. After the inspection, he pulled out the thermometer from the guard's mouth, looked at it and said, "My lord! I have a high fever of [-] degrees. From the symptoms Looks like a typical flu!"

"Master Zhao!"

The old man said nervously: "What, what is flu, it can't be plague?"

"Influenza, transmitted through droplets, Class A infectious disease..."

The epidemic patrol officer said: "This disease will cause a series of complications. If it is severe, it will die in a few days. Everything you touch must be disinfected, otherwise it will spread to a large area. Our Lantai is a model county for epidemic prevention. You can count it. Otherwise, you won’t even think about going back to Beijing!”

"You gang of unlucky bastards actually brought an infectious disease to issue an order, trying to kill this king..."

Prince Duan hid behind Zhaobi and cursed, but Zhao Guanren squatted up and asked, "Elder-in-law! You must have come out of the palace, where did you stop on the way? Generally, the incubation period of influenza is no more than five days, so you should be within five days." Infected!"

"Gong, Gongli! Let's rush over here, exactly five days..."

The old man panicked and said: "When our family came, there was a wind and cold in the palace. Many people had runny noses and coughs, which infected the little prince. The emperor slapped the table angrily and scolded the hospital for being incompetent. This time, he just wanted to transfer you." Take care of the epidemic in Beijing!"

"Huh? Let me go to Beijing, and the stall in Ningzhou doesn't care..."

Zhao Guanren blinked in surprise, but the old man opened the imperial decree again and said, "My lord! Let's issue the imperial decree first, this is a top priority, ahem~ Zhao Yunxuan has repeatedly made extraordinary achievements and solved strange cases, it is really me Dashun is a blessing, but..."

"It's over! As soon as the leader said no, it's all bullshit..."
