Ambush from all sides

Zhanjia only has one restaurant in Suzhou Prefecture.

The name of the restaurant is Longbaiju, which opened more than two years ago. Zhan Hao waited until its operation was on the right track before leaving Jiangnan.Since then, Zhong Yunde has been managing the restaurant business. For more than a year, he almost never returned to Changzhou, and took Zheng Dong and Chong Lian to run around in various businesses in Suzhou Prefecture every day.

In recent years, Di Deqing, the leader of the Suzhou-Hangzhou business community, has become more and more fond of eating at Longbaiju. People in Suzhou can often see him sitting by the window of the private room on the third floor. There are rumors that he is waiting for his sweetheart to change his mind. .

It is said that his sweetheart was an oiran in Suzhou back then, and after Mr. Di bought his Chuye, he abandoned him in chaos.The other party was heartbroken and wanted to hang himself, but was rescued by a kind person. From then on, his temperament changed drastically and he went away.It was also said that his lover was actually a servant of his family, and he was also a man!When the old master of the Di family knew about this, he was furious, beat the servant to the point of death, then threw him out of the house, lied to old master Di that the man was dead, and forced him to marry.It's a pity that Mr. Di's love is deeply rooted. He suffered a serious illness and almost couldn't be saved. He spent a lot of money to barely save his life, but he has planted a knot in his heart since then.

Although it is rumored like this in the market, but now, only the person concerned can tell what it was like back then.

After getting off the carriage, Zhan Hao saw Di Deqing.He was wearing a gown with a black gold pattern, with his hands behind his back, and he was slowly walking into Longbai Residence accompanied by two guards in plain clothes.Withered leaves helped Uncle Zhong and then walked down, Zhong Yunde raised his head and saw the strong back of Cangqiu, his face darkened after a "swipe".

Zhan Hao looked at Uncle Zhong helplessly, smiled soothingly and said, "Uncle Zhong, don't be like this, if it's too obvious, others will notice it."

Zhong Yunde turned his head and snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves, put both hands behind his back, and walked straight over swaggeringly.Qiu Langxing hid behind Zhan Hao in a ghostly way, staring and sighing: "Tsk tsk, Master is so domineering! Hey Zhan Hao, do you think Di Lao Wang Ba will be knocked on the ground by Master later and be unable to get over?"

Zhan Hao turned his head and glanced at him expressionlessly, and said in a neutral tone, "Who taught you to call Boss Di like that?"

Qiu Langxing smiled reassuringly: "My master! That's what my master taught me. He said he wouldn't take me into business if I didn't call him that way."

Zhan Hao stared at him silently for a moment, then turned to look at Uncle Zhong.I saw the old man rushing into the building without saying a word, and Di Deqing was about to go up the stairs, but he was one step ahead of him.The two guards saw him at first, but they didn't know whether to stop him. They were about to ask the master, but they were pushed aside by Zhong Yunde mercilessly in the blink of an eye.

Di Deqing was stunned at the bottom of the stairs, a little dazed for a moment.With a cold face, Zhong Yunde turned his back to him and walked up without looking sideways.Up to the second floor and up to the third floor, it disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Zhan Hao stood at the door and sighed silently, not knowing whether to be helpless or depressed for a while.He stood on the spot and adjusted his expression, and was about to go in to say hello to old man Di, when he suddenly felt that the dead leaves seemed to have remained silent.Turning his head and looking back, Zhan Hao saw that his fox cub was standing in front of the carriage and staring at the opposite restaurant, his brows were slightly furrowed, his expression a bit serious.

"What are you looking at?" Zhan Hao walked up to him, leaning his upper body slightly towards him.Withered Ye turned her head to look at him, and said in a cold tone, "The restaurant across the street belongs to the Yan family, right?"

Zhan Hao raised his eyes to look at the luxury restaurant with the word "Que Ding" hanging on it, and the corner of his mouth curled up almost invisible: "How do you know?"

"Hmph," Dead Leaf snorted coldly, and twitched her chin, "Just now the young master of the Yan family was staring at you on the second floor."

Hearing what he said, Zhan Hao narrowed his eyes for a while, and his gaze stayed on the opposite restaurant for a while, but there was still a lack of interest between his brows and eyes.At the end, he stretched out his hand to pull the dead leaves, and said nonchalantly: "Don't stick around when you're gone, go in and have breakfast." After speaking, he dragged people inside and walked inside.

It's morning now, although there are not many customers for dinner, most of the seats are already occupied.Dead Leaf didn't expect that this thick-skinned guy would drag him away in full view... Eh?What seems wrong?This guy seems to have dragged him twice before in public?While staring and pondering, Zhan Hao has already pulled him to Di Deqing with a smile.

At first, Old Man Di only noticed Uncle Zhong, but he was walking so fast that he disappeared in the blink of an eye.Zhong Yunde usually would not appear alone outside, Di Deqing turned his face to look outside, and saw Qiu Langxing standing at the door with a playful smile on his face, and the backs of Dead Ye and Zhan Hao standing in a row beside the carriage.

Di Deqing thought to himself, this kid Zhan Hao has always been in a hurry, but today is really a coincidence, he met several important people in the Zhan family as soon as he touched him.He originally thought that the person standing next to Zhan Hao was Li Fei Fei, because he was quite similar in height, and Li Fei Fei was also Zhan Hao's cloth shopkeeper.It's just that the kid in my impression pays attention to dressing up, so he shouldn't be dressed so plainly...all in black?And it is the most common commoner style.

After Zhan Hao walked over with the dead leaves, Di Deqing realized that it wasn't Li Feifei.This young man was pale, with a sharp chin, and only the right side of his face that was exposed looked familiar.Seeing the mask on Dead Leaf's face, the big guard under him gasped for a moment, tensed up, and leaned into his ear nervously, saying, "Master, the man next to Boss Zhan is the number one man in the arena today." A killer dead leaf!"

"Dead leaves?" Di Deqing murmured, not very nervous, but just a little puzzled.In his heart, although this kid Zhan Hao looks a bit mysterious, he is still a good boy... Why is there such a dangerous person by his side?Ah, it was the same at the fishing ground before.The scene that day was so weird that it reminded him of the rumors in Changzhou Mansion that children born from ghosts were always gloomy and gloomy.At that time, he regarded it as a disagreement between the children and laughed it off.But now it seems that this young man is indeed unusual.

Zhan Hao took the dead leaves and walked up to Di Deqing, and smiled and stretched out his hand to bow: "Boss Di is in a good mood, he came to visit Longbaiju so early in the morning, this junior is really flattered."

Di Deqing clasped his hands behind his back, a faint smile appeared on his face, and his eyes pointed: "Boss Zhan is in a good mood today."

Zhan Hao's brows and eyes were crooked with a smile, he lowered his hand after making a bow, stretched it back, and grabbed Dead Ye's wrist again.Dead Leaf stood behind with a dark face, silently telling herself to hold back, this guy is a boss after all, and with so many people watching, it would be too embarrassing to throw him away.Di Deqing raised his eyes to look at the cold and aggrieved withered leaves, raised his eyebrows slightly, and deepened the smile on his lips.

Zhan Hao also looked at him with a leisurely smile, sent the other hand upstairs, and said calmly: "I still have a few of the best river fish caught a few days ago, Boss Di please."

Di Deqing nodded at him firmly, then walked upstairs slowly.The two guards behind him followed behind the master, but they all stared at the dead leaves faintly, and their footsteps moved a little slowly for a while.Withered Ye naturally noticed the gazes of the two of them, and didn't want to pay attention to them at first, but the two idiots looked too blatantly, and Zhan Hao was holding his hand again, all eyes of the whole first floor were focused on him for a while. body.

This made the dead leaves feel hairy.It doesn't matter if Zhan Hao is always dragged around by him, and he will probably get used to it two more times, but what kind of trouble are these two going to have?Have you ever offended them?Thinking about it, Dead Leaf made a stinky face, raised her eyes and stared at them coldly.Facing the dead leaves with cold faces, the two guards froze for a moment, and nervous expressions were involuntarily revealed on their faces.

Zhan Hao glanced at his own little fox with fried fur, and gently tugged with his hand... The dead leaves grinded his back molars, and then he looked away angrily.As soon as the other party relaxed his body, he breathed smoothly in a trance, and then a belated coolness rushed up his back.Zhan Hao looked at them with a smile, and hurriedly took a step up the stairs. Only then did the two of them recover from their panic, and quickly turned around and walked upstairs.

When they arrived at the private room on the third floor, Di Deqing stood at the door and waited quietly for them. In the room, tea and some snacks were already set.Zhan Hao dragged the dead leaves and walked in front of him unhurriedly, his eyes narrowed leisurely, and his voice was thick: "I heard that Boss Di likes to eat salmon, it's morning, do you want to ask the cook to cook it for you?" A bowl of fish porridge?"

"Boss Zhan, don't bother to say hello." Di Deqing replied kindly, with kind eyes: "I'm afraid I've been here more times than you. I know more about the dishes here than you do." As he said that, he walked slowly into the private room, turned his head and looked at Zhanhao calmly: "Didn't Steward Zhong go upstairs just now? You guys came so early, you have something to discuss. Don't bother to greet me, you go, don't let me go." The elders have been waiting for a long time."

After hearing this, Zhan Hao raised his head firmly to look upstairs, and saw Uncle Zhong in gray clothes flashed beside the railing on the fourth floor, obviously he had heard what he said just now.Zhan Hao withdrew his gaze, and his eyes fell on Di Deqing's calm and peaceful face again.The other party had already sat down cross-legged in front of the short table, and was quietly drinking tea with a cup.Thin wrinkles inevitably appeared on the wide and slender fingers.The corners of his eyes are also loose, and three deep crow's feet crawl along the skin to the temples, and his hair is gray.

It looks older than Uncle Zhong.

According to the information Zhan Hao has, the two old people met and fell in love when Mr. Di was in his early twenties, and Uncle Zhong was just 16 years old.

Now, Uncle Zhong is 54.

Zhan Hao had a general idea of ​​the entanglement between them back then, but he was really not very clear about their exact mood changes.But even if he knew the ins and outs, he still couldn't judge the love and hatred between these two people... Zhan Hao just felt a little regretful and sighed.

Now they are both single and unmarried, and they have spent half their lives with each other.And judging by the situation, it is estimated that it will have to continue to consume.

How hard it is to be together.

As the sky gradually approached noon, Uncle Zhong sat cross-legged at the low table, took out the ledgers of various industries under the Zhan family's name, and checked them with Qiu Langxing one by one. Take a closer look.Withered Leaf leaned against the window boredly, watching their reconciliation bills from a distance, each column of accounts was written with long numbers.

After a while, several servants brought the lunch one after another.

The dining table was placed by the window, and Dead Ye raised an eyebrow to look, and found that there were sauced chicken wings in the dish served!Immediately feel hungry.But looking down at the three people who were still buried in their work, they buried their heads in concentration, exchanged a few words in a low voice from time to time, and looked like they didn't intend to eat at all.Dead Leaf's eyes couldn't help feeling a little resentful, her lips pursed a couple of times in discomfort, her brows were furrowed, and she looked away restrainedly.

Opposite is the top floor of the Yan family's Que. Although there are not as many guests as Longbai Residence, it is still lively and prosperous.Withered Ye stared at the place where Yan Heng was standing just now, feeling more and more unhappy.People in the Yan family are obsessed with Zhan Hao too much, let's not talk about the eldest son, but the younger son is also haunted.I heard from Uncle Zhong before that Mr. Yan has been running to Di Deqing's place these days, probably for his son's sake.

In fact, in the previous two generations, the Zhan family and the Yan family were on good terms.Master Yan used to have a half-brother who was born to a doctor. He was gentle and calm. He was highly valued by the old master back then, and he also had a good friendship with Zhan Tianxing.It's a pity that the first lady died of a serious illness later, and the second lady who cared about every detail kept her son on the sidelines every day and insisted on helping her son.At first, people didn't care about it, thinking that anyone could be in charge of the family, but then for some reason, Brother Yan, who has always kept himself clean, actually suffered from venereal disease, and it was spread by some caring people to everyone.The old man felt ashamed and put him under house arrest in a fit of anger.

Zhan Tianxing came to the door several times to intercede and advise, saying that someone must be framed and spread rumors, but every time the second wife choked out with a sharp voice.Later, as time dragged on for a long time, brother Yan's condition became more and more serious, and finally he died.

At this point, the Zhan family and the Yan family have completely severed their friendship.

The dead leaves don't know about these past events, and the things of the older generation have been passed around by everyone, so naturally no one mentions them again.That's why he felt that the Yan family was really naughty and had serious problems, and they deserved to be punished for messing with a guy like Zhan Hao for a trivial love affair.

After a while, the entire table was full of dishes, Dead Leaf curled her lips and looked at the three people depressedly, but she still didn't intend to stop.Zhan Hao had buried his head and didn't know what he was looking at, but suddenly he quietly raised his eyelids and glanced at him.Seeing the annoyed and impatient look on Dead Leaf's face, he rolled his eyes and revealed a faint smile inexplicably.

Withered Ye leaned against the window and stared at him with her arms around her chest, Zhan Hao blinked affectionately, then stretched out her fingers and made a "shh" gesture with a smile, telling him to wait.

Hmph, just wait, you won't die if you starve for a while.Withered Ye turned her face and looked out again, with her hips leaning against the window sill.After a while, he seemed to feel that something was wrong, so he loosened the arm around his chest, and pinched the flesh on his waist with his fingers.Tsk, why do you seem to be getting fatter?Squeeze again... Really fat, a small layer of flesh can be squeezed out of the originally thin and tough waist, but it was so hard before that nothing could be squeezed out.

Realizing this fact, Dead Leaf was not very happy at first, but now she is even more depressed.At this time, there was a lot of traffic downstairs, and Di Deqing had just left with his guards.Before getting into the carriage, the big guard raised his head and looked up, obviously he was worried about the dead leaves.But the sad young man didn't expect that withered leaf was really standing by the window, when his eyes met, withered leaf clearly saw that his whole body was shaken, and then he turned and slipped away in embarrassment.

...It's so funny, the No. [-] business giant in Suzhou and Hangzhou hires such a guard. In comparison, the Zhan family's grade is much higher than him.

Dead Leaf rolled her eyes a little arrogantly, then coldly looked away from Di's carriage.The streets are bustling with crowds, and there are endless streams of pedestrians and hawkers.The midday sun was so hot that many girls covered their faces with their palms or silk fans to avoid getting sunburned.Dead Leaf stared at the crowd absently, and a carriage appeared in his sight after a while.

This carriage looks quite ordinary, the most common appearance in the south of the Yangtze River, but the driver looks a little special.Withered Ye squinted and saw that it was a girl, full of heroic spirit.She leaned leisurely and calmly against the closed door of the carriage, her slightly squinted eyes seemed to be leisurely, but in fact they were sharp and focused.

This demeanor, this tune, why is it so familiar?

Withered Ye leaned on the window sill and stared at her for a while, feeling more and more familiar with this woman's aura.The carriage was getting closer and closer, the girl was leaning against it without saying a word, at this moment she suddenly raised her eyes, and her gaze met him accurately.Dead Leaf couldn't help being startled, then narrowed her eyes reflexively.The woman stared at him blankly for a while, then pulled the rein in her hand suddenly, and the carriage stopped beside the gate of Longbaiju with a "crack".

The girl looked at him fixedly, with a calm smile on her heroic face, and a calm and determined expression in her eyes.At that moment, Dead Leaf's brain flashed with lightning, and he suddenly realized who this gaze looked like—the bastard who was always making up his voice, the one who never changed his face when Mount Tai collapsed in front of him, Zhan Hao.

At this time, the door of the carriage was pushed open from the inside, Dead Leaves thought that the woman driving the carriage should be a girl brought out by Zhan Hao, and the carriage probably belonged to him.But when the people in the car came out, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment.It was a young woman with a little girl.The woman's face was simple and gentle, and she looked a little uneasy.The little girl she was holding was only about four or five years old, and she looked timid.Withered Ye frowned and stared at it for a while, then couldn't help guessing wildly in her mind—could this be Zhan Hao's seed again?

If Zhan Hao knew this idea, he would probably raise his eyebrows and complain half-truthfully, what is "again", isn't Fang Qiuming my son?

After a while, the woman led the two of them upstairs.Withered Ye stared at the three women, one big and one small, with complicated eyes as they walked to the door, not knowing what emotions they were feeling.The girl driving the car glanced at him indifferently, then calmly knocked on the door frame, and called out in a cold voice, "Master."

Zhan Hao actually heard them going upstairs early in the morning, but he didn't turn his head and wait.When Qiu Langxing heard this voice, he rushed over with a cheap and happy expression on his face, and yelled stickily: "Chonglian~ why are you here!"

The girl named Chong Lian saw him rushing towards him, but she didn't hide, she just let him hug her shoulder.Dead Leaf has long seen that Chong Lian's stature is extremely high, but now she compares and finds that she is almost catching up with Qiu Langxing.This girl has a straight back, broad shoulders and long legs, a pair of slanted willow eyebrows and long eyes, and a pointed chin. She looks like a cold and proud snow fox.

Chonglian...isn't that Zhan Hao's most important confidant?The one who stayed in Changzhou with Zheng Dong, why did she come to Suzhou?

Zhan Hao turned his face to look at her indifferently, then looked at the mother and daughter behind her, raised his eyebrows firmly, and said, "Why are you here? Shouldn't Shumei be the one to pick you up?"

Chong Lian let Qiu Langxing hang stickily on her shoulders expressionlessly, and her voice did not fluctuate at all: "Hong Niang said that Shumei's hand was seriously injured, the situation in Changzhou is stable, and you have to go to Di Deqing's residence the day after tomorrow." Banquet, Big Brother Zheng called me over."

"Oh," Zhan Hao raised his eyebrows clearly, and then stretched out his hand to beckon to them, "Come and sit down when you arrive, I'll wait for you to eat."

Chonglian nodded slightly, then pushed Qiu Langxing away and walked in calmly, found a seat at the dining table and sat down.After sitting down, he raised his eyelids and looked at the dead leaves meaningfully for a while.

She came in, but the mother and daughter were still hesitating at the door, looking at Zhan Hao with some unease on their faces, and said timidly: "Boss Zhan, you, what do you want us to do?"

Qiu Langhang stood in the middle of the two sides, with the corners of his mouth curled exaggeratedly, and walked towards them with a smile: "This should be Madam Yu, right? Come, come in quickly, let's talk about something after dinner, the little girl should I'm hungry." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pinched the little girl's face.

The little girl was hugging her mother's leg, hiding pitifully.Qiu Langxing pinched her carelessly, and she quit immediately, and cried "wow" with her mouth flattened.That Mrs. Yu is also afraid, after all, she is a famous person, and I heard some weird things about him a few days ago... Zhan Hao kept smiling quietly, just because he was afraid of scaring them.But being so confused by Qiu Langxing, his face suddenly collapsed.

Seeing that he made the little girl cry, Qiu Langxing not only didn't feel guilty, but became more enthusiastic: "Oh, why are you crying? Little sister, uncle is not a bad person!" Sitting there, Zhan Hao couldn't help but have a headache. The servant has always been one who fears that the world will not be chaotic, and now he still wants to continue to stretch out his hand to slap the little girl's face!Uncle Zhong was also helpless, stood up and walked behind him, stretched out his hand and squeezed the back of his neck fiercely, Qiu Langxing's entire upper body was immediately numb: "Ouch, master, master...! I was wrong! wrong!"

"Go away!" Uncle Zhong threw him aside in disgust, his face relaxed, and then he knelt down and picked up the crying little girl, hugged him into his arms and comforted him softly: "Oh Oh, Shao Si stopped crying, don't be afraid, do you still remember Grandpa Zhong? He bought you candied haws before."

"Zhong, Grandpa Zhong?" The little girl clenched her small fists with tears in her eyes, and stared at him blankly with her big eyes.Zhan Hao stood up with a low sigh, and walked in front of Mrs. Yu with a pale complexion, with a gentle and gentle smile on his face, he said, "Mrs. Yu, it's nothing serious for Zhan to invite you here today. Don't be nervous. Uncle Zhong, before you I've seen it before, sit down and eat first, and I'll talk to you in detail during the meal."

"Boss Zhan..." Mrs. Yu's eyes were faintly red, and her face was very sad, "I know that what you want to say must have something to do with your deceased husband. Before you asked Mr. Zhong to help Naqushuilou get rid of the crime, Zhang Zhifu said this It's an unjust case without a head, and my husband died unjustly. Our husband and wife just opened a small medical clinic, and our status is low. Speaking of it, I really don't know what provoked you. Now my husband has been buried, and Boss Qu has also been cleared of the charges , what do you want to do..." When she said this, tears streamed from her eyes, and she felt a little rude, so she raised her hand and wiped it away with plain clothes.

Mrs. Yu is the wife of Dr. Yu who was poisoned by fugu before.Judging by her attitude, she probably blamed Zhan Haocai for being so powerful that he bribed his friends to clear their sins and let the murderer who killed her husband go unpunished.Dead Leaf frowned in displeasure, feeling somewhat resentful in her heart.

If a person dies alone, Zhan Hao has a lot of methods, and he can do it without anyone noticing, why would there be such a big commotion?This woman is really self-indulgent.As he thought this way, a trace of disdain unconsciously appeared in his eyes.Chong Lian next to her saw it, and there was a hint of faint emotion on her face, it seemed to be smiling, but it was more like gloating.

Zhan Hao still had a faint smile on his face, and he didn't feel wronged.He sighed softly, looked at Mrs. Yu with tears in his eyes, and said, "It's true that Zhan didn't handle the matter well that day. He only wanted to save his friend from being imprisoned, but he didn't care about the situation of your mother and daughter. Now Zhan wants to make up for his mistakes, but Zhang Zhifu said that the case cannot be found out, but if I find out the murderer who killed your husband, will Madam feel better?"

When Mrs. Yu heard this, she couldn't help but raised her face to look at him, her red eyes were full of disbelief: "Boss Zhan is telling the truth?"

Zhan Hao squinted his eyes and smiled resolutely: "There is nothing false in what Zhan said. This matter also involves the interests of my family, so we must investigate it carefully. I hope my wife can help Zhan and tell me about it." Some of the situation before the doctor's incident."

Madam Yu looked at him with trembling lips, and the tears that had stopped just now flowed out again.She was so excited that her cheeks turned red, her legs went limp, and she knelt down on the ground with a "plop": "Thank you, Boss Zhan!"

Mrs. Yu's real name is Fang Ning, and her ancestral home is Yizhou. Her father opened a medical clinic, and she met her husband, Yu Yonglin, when they were buying medicinal materials.It can be said that the two fell in love at first sight, and they got married not long after.Yu Yonglin's ancestors were all practicing medicine, and his family lived in a small town near Dali in Shuchuan.Although there are not many residents in the town, because it is located on the border between the two countries, the number of people coming and going is considerable, and the types are also diverse.

When talking about this, Fang Ning paused slightly.Zhan Hao was sitting next to her, drinking his wine steadily, but as soon as she stopped, Boss Zhan Da's gaze drifted over silently.

The little girl, Yu Shaosi, was sitting between Uncle Zhong and his mother, leaning against Grandpa Zhong ignorantly, prying an escargot stuffed with chopsticks out of order in his hand.Dead Leaf sat at the other end of the table, not particularly interested in what Fang Ning said.People are hungry, they bury their heads in their food and eat chicken wings without raising their eyes.

Qiu Langxing kept harassing Chonglian by the side, picking up a piece of chicken wing for a while, and adding half a stalk of green vegetables for a while.Chong Lian was patient at first, but later she couldn't eat so quickly, so she just picked up the extra vegetables and put them in the bowl with dead leaves on the right - the dead leaves were stunned, thinking it was Zhan Hao who picked up vegetables for him.But when he looked up, he was listening to Fang Ning with his head tilted, with a serious expression on his face.

Withered Ye frowned again and turned to look at Chong Lian. Chong Lian slightly raised her eyebrows at him, then calmly picked up a chopsticks of rice and stuffed it into her mouth.

Withered Leaf was startled, then was speechless.He said in his heart that these little girls in Zhanhao's mansion, the more capable they are, the weirder their temper, and they are more familiar with each other, as if they knew him early in the morning.The others were fine, remembering that Min Wei had the audacity to poke him on the forehead before, but at least they had known each other for more than ten days, hadn't they?This is good, I will give him the dish as soon as it comes up, it is still the dish after two rounds of chopsticks.

Seeing his cloudy and uncertain face, Qiu Langxing could not stop laughing with his mouth puffed out.Withered Ye glared at him fiercely, poked the chopsticks in the roasted peanuts in the cold dish, and a peanut flew over with a "swoosh", hitting Qiu Langxing right in the eye.Immediately, the pain made him "ouch", and his whole body bounced.

The rest of the people were taken aback by him.Little Shaosi was holding the oily snail rice, his eyes were wide open, and his expression was timid and frightened.Qiu Langxing covered his face and kept gasping, Zhan Hao looked up at him helplessly, and threatened coldly: "Qiu Langxing, if you make trouble again, I will throw you back to Changzhou."

"I..." Qiu Langxing was about to argue that he didn't do it on purpose, it was because of dead leaves.But looking over in the blink of an eye, I saw Dead Ye and Chong Lian both buried their heads indifferently, tearing chicken wings in unison.The chicken bones are chewed in the mouth, crunchy and crunchy.

So Qiu Langxing could only shrink his neck crying.

Fang Ning looked at the strange-looking people in front of him a little helplessly, wondering whether he should continue or not.Zhan Hao stared at Dead Ye and Chong Lian with some amusement, then turned around and signaled her to continue talking with his eyes.Fang Ning looked at him anxiously and hesitantly for a while, then lowered his head, sighed faintly, and said, "Two years ago, my husband brought me and Shao Si to Suzhou. He works as a doctor in a small town. His ancestors have many folk remedies, which are said to be very effective, but they are strange, and I have never even heard of some medicinal materials."

"Suzhou is a big city after all, bustling and bustling. At first I was afraid that he would turn bad, but I'm glad that Ah Lin didn't..." Fang Ning paused again, with a hesitant expression on his face.Zhan Hao quietly watched every expression on her face, and answered calmly: "What happened later?"

"Later..." Fang Ning blinked in embarrassment, and clenched his hands tightly, "I don't know if it's related, but when I think about it later, there seems to be something wrong..."

She raised her head, her delicate eyebrows were wrinkled in worry, and her eyes were painful: "At that time, Alin used his father's folk remedies to make a batch of pills, which he said were good for strengthening the body and getting rid of alcohol poisoning and wind pain. I don’t care about the medical hall, I don’t know if it was sold or not. But later, there was indeed a handsomely dressed young man who bought a lot of pills. It seems that after that , Alin started not going home often..."

"Aren't you going home? Are you hanging out outside?" Zhan Hao answered indifferently, holding a cup in his hand to settle in the air.Fang Ning sat in a daze, and before answering, Shao Si yelled in a low voice: "Daddy is not messing around! Daddy is on business!"

When Zhan Hao and Uncle Zhong heard her words, there was a hint of interest on their faces.Zhan Hao raised his eyebrows and looked at Uncle Zhong. Uncle Zhong lowered his head knowingly, and asked the child in a soft voice, "Shao Si, do you know what business Daddy is going to do?"

"Daddy, he... um." The little girl timidly opened her eyes, looked at Uncle Zhong, then at Zhan Hao who was staring at her, and finally closed her mouth tightly, shrinking behind her mother in fear.

Zhan Hao blinked aggrievedly, and spread his hands showing a pitiful expression: "What's wrong? Am I so fierce?" He rubbed his face as he spoke, looking extremely puzzled.

Fang Ning sighed at the side, stretched out his hand to hug Shao Si into his arms, looked at Zhan Hao evasively, and said, "Boss Zhan, don't blame Shao Si for being timid, it's just... now the whole Suzhou government is talking about you, say You have the power of ghosts and gods, and you can command birds and beasts."

"Me?" Zhan Hao smiled flattered, with an expression of unbelievable interest.Seeing it from the opposite side, Dead Leaf shuddered immediately, and felt an unbearable chill in her heart: Old bastard who is almost a thousand years old, what are you pretending for!Thinking about it gave Zhan Hao a blank look.When the other party saw it, he calmly returned a look with a hint of cunning.

At this time, everyone at the dinner table was a little nervous, except for Zhan Hao, of course.Fang Ning was afraid of him at first, but after seeing that he was polite and amiable, he immediately relaxed.But after saying that sentence, she realized that she was a little offended, and instantly tensed up tremblingly.Uncle Zhong sat firmly on the chair, expressionless, holding his breath—this is what he was always afraid of.Maybe Zhan Hao doesn't care, but he has experienced some things, and he knows what it means to make money out of one mouth, and destroy one's bones.

Qiu Langxing opened his eyes, looked at Chonglian and Dead Ye who both had cool faces, and then at Zhan Hao who was smiling leisurely... His eyes blinked twice, then he lowered his head resolutely and continued eating.

Zhan Hao looked at these people calmly, his eyeballs rolled slightly, and a gentle and friendly smile appeared on his face.

He slowly stood up, and silently walked behind Shao Si.With a trembling heart, Fang Ning hugged his daughter nervously.Zhan Hao stretched out his hand, touched the little girl's head tenderly, then grabbed her waist, and hugged her gently but irresistibly.

Fang Ning watched her daughter being carried away dejectedly, the fear in her heart had reached its peak.

"Shao Si," Zhan Hao looked at the timid little girl with a smile, and carried her to the window, "Don't be afraid, uncle is not a ghost."

"Oh, woo..." Shao Si bit his lip and choked up, feeling fear in his heart, but he was oppressed by an invisible pressure, and he didn't dare to move.Zhan Hao touched her slightly skinny face affectionately, and said softly: "Others say that I am a monster, they are talking nonsense. Uncle has a lot of fish in his house, and some other big fish that can catch fish. Some people are jealous of me when they see it, that's why they speak ill of me like this. Shao Si is so smart, he won't be fooled by them, okay?"

After finishing speaking, Zhan Hao whistled lowly, the whistle sound was subtle and bright, and it floated from the window to the sky outside.Shao Si stared outside with tears in his eyes, and almost immediately, a small bird with red head and black body flew in and lightly landed on Zhan Hao's shoulder.The little girl suddenly opened her eyes wide, with a surprised and happy expression on her face.Zhan Hao stretched out his hand to hold the little bird on his finger, stretched it out in front of her with a smile, and said softly, "Look, it's like this.
