One belonged to the bald villain, and the other belonged to little girl Zhang Ning. Zhang Ning was seen holding Zhu Hansan's hand tightly, turning to the bald villain and saying: "Second uncle, if it weren't for Brother Zhu, I would have been killed."
He was taken to the government!"
"What?"
The bald evil man was shocked when he heard this, with a nervous look on his face, and asked anxiously: "What happened?"
"Nothing happened, Brother Zhu took care of everything!"
Zhang Ning glanced at Zhu Hansan and said shyly.
"Boy, what on earth is going on?"
The evil man was extremely nervous and winked at the people around him. Everyone understood and walked out. Several people blocked the door and blocked Zhu Hansan's way. Then the evil man asked: "You'd better tell me what happened."
I must tell you everything, otherwise, not to mention you today, even your relatives will suffer."
"Oh, what are these things!"
Zhu Hansan's legs were already trembling. Who wouldn't be afraid of this scene? He immediately spread his hands and told the whole story of how he met Zhang Ning with a wry smile.
"Oh? Then who is Li Shu?"
The evil man frowned. After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't figure out Li Shucai's identity. He quickly turned to Li Hu and asked.
"Li Shucai is a distant relative of Bo, the royal lord of the Yamen. This is all the villain knows."
Li Hu seemed to be very afraid of this bald villain and replied tremblingly.
"Yuanfu, take a few people tonight to capture that Li Shucai, torture him, and ask him what he knows!"
The evil man's eyes were full of fierceness. After some speculation, he turned to a tall man with a beard beside him and said.
"promise!"
This big man named Yuan Fu is not tall, but he is extremely strong. The steel knife on his waist is a bit bigger than others, which shows that it is not light.
"My dear fellows, I saw and heard nothing today. If we are destined to see you again in the future, I will take my leave first!"
Seeing the behavior of this group of people, Zhu Hansan was reminded of the unscrupulous underworld, and he quickly clasped his fists and said.
"This little brother, we just met, how could he leave so quickly? I will order someone to prepare a banquet later. At least I will have a few drinks to express my gratitude."
The evil man reached out and patted Zhu Hansan on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"Miss Zhang Ning, I have something to do in the store, so I won't delay here. Why don't you let me go first?"
Seeing the evil man's smile, Zhu Hansan felt creepy all over his body. He turned his head and smiled sarcastically at Zhang Ning who was standing aside.
"Brother Zhu, my second uncle told me that it's not too late to leave after having a casual meal!"
Zhang Ning refused, holding Zhu Hansan's hand and smiling sweetly.
When the evil man saw his niece acting so intimately with an outsider, he frowned and stared at Zhu Hansan with a pair of tiger eyes, his threatening intent unexpressed in words.
"No, there's something really going on in the store. Can we try another day, another day?"
Zhu Hansan already regretted getting to know Zhang Ning, especially after feeling the evil man's malicious eyes, which made him feel on pins and needles, wishing to leave immediately, and the two of them would never interact with each other again until they die.
"Okay, Ning'er, since little brother has something important to do, let's not force him! Little brother, please help yourself!"
The evil man pulled Zhang Ning, extended his hand toward the door, and said coldly.
"Thank you, thank you very much! I'll take my leave!"
This place, Zhu Hansan is

Not wanting to stay for a moment longer, after seeing the piece of calfskin candy being pulled away by the evil man, he quickly gave the man his hand, turned around and left without looking back.
"Second uncle, why are you like this?"
After Zhu Hansan left, Zhang Ning immediately looked like a little witch, pinched her waist and hummed.
"How old are you? This time we came to Jingxian County with your father's order. When the things are done, we will let you play here for a few more days!"
The evil man rubbed Zhang Ning's little head lovingly and said with a smile.
"If you want to do something, just do it yourself. I won't stop you. Okay, I'm going to go play with Brother Zhu. Li Hu, lead the way!"
A hint of cunning flashed in Zhang Ning's eyes, and he thought to himself, how could such a fun person let you escape from my aunt's hands so easily.
"You're not allowed to go. You just got separated from us and you want to go out again?"
The evil man shook his head and said.
"I'm going, I'm going!"
Zhang Ning did not follow the Tao.
"Okay, it's all up to you! Be careful on the road. Li Hu, please bring a few more people to escort the lady!"
The two looked at each other for a long time, but the evil man was finally defeated and ordered to Li Hu.
"Don't worry, respected master, I will definitely protect the safety of the young lady."
Li Hu quickly bowed and accepted the order.
On the way back to the store, Zhu Hansan kept guessing about Zhang Ning's identity. Li Hu was very powerful in Jingxian County, but in front of Zhang Ning, he was like a well-behaved kitten. Thinking about it, this girl came from Julu.
, also named Zhang, obediently... As he thought about it, Zhu Hansan couldn't help but shudder, and he didn't dare to think about it any further.
"Never mind it, from now on we will not interfere with the river. You take your sunny path and I will cross my single-plank bridge."
Zhu Hansan muttered to himself and walked into the shop.
"Boss, you are finally back!"
As soon as Zhu Hansan entered the store, Zhang Liao rushed to greet him and said anxiously: "Something big has happened!"
"What happened again? I just went out for a walk!"
Zhu Hansan rolled his eyes and asked angrily: "Wen Yuan, I regard you as my right-hand man, I can just take care of some things by myself."
"The county magistrate is here. He has been waiting in the back room for almost a quarter of an hour!"
Zhang Liao replied with a sad face.
"What? The county magistrate is here? How did he come? Who brought him here?"
Zhu Hansan was startled when he heard this. He felt a cold air rushing straight to his forehead and almost fainted.
In these days, if you offend anyone, don't offend the official. Your heart is dark and your hands are cold.
"The royal master came here with Bo, along with five or six guards with swords!"
Zhang Liao smiled bitterly.
"Oh my, my sin, my sin, I didn't know that the county magistrate was coming to our store in person, so I couldn't welcome him from afar. Please forgive me, the magistrate!"
Zhu Han walked toward the back room in three steps at a time. When he came in, he saw a middle-aged man in his forties sitting under an old tree drinking tea. Standing next to him was a tall and thin scribe.
Wearing a knife to protect him, Zhu Hansan knew without asking that the man was Liu Yao, the current magistrate of Jingxian County. He quickly stepped forward and bowed.
"Oh? Do you know me?"
Liu Yao looked at Zhu Hansan and asked with a half-smile.
"While the villain is still outside, you can feel the atmosphere of books filling the courtyard inside. Such a strong atmosphere of literature. Apart from you, the county magistrate, who has won Maocai, who else in our Jing County can have such an aura around you?"
(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)
Zhu Hansan was talking flattering words, but he was already planning his next move in his mind.
Liu Yao's face was neither happy nor sad, and his eyes were calm and pure. At first glance, he looked like a man from deep within the city. This kind of person Zhu Hansan was most afraid of, especially when the other party had power. The power of life and death made him even more scared.
Zhu Hansan was a little frightened.
"Haha, I just heard Wang Zhubo talk about the Eight Immortals Table in Chenxiang Pavilion at the Yamen. I came over to take a look at it when I had nothing to do. I wonder if the Eight Immortals Table is one of the tables and chairs in this courtyard?"
Liu Yao was slightly stunned, pointed at the Eight Immortals tables that were not very well made, and chuckled.
"These are the Eight Immortals tables, but the Eight Immortals tables in the shop are divided into three styles. The first is the simple Eight Immortals table, which sells for 800 yuan; the second is the carved Eight Immortals table, which sells for 6,600 yuan; and the third
It is the Eight Immortals table with hollow gold threads and dragons and phoenixes, which sells for 150,000 yuan. The one Wang Zhubo and the others customized is the third type, which is exactly what is in the yard."
Cold sweat began to flow from Zhu Hansan's forehead. He knew that Liu Yao must have known something by asking such a question, so he did not dare to hide it at the moment and told the truth.
"Oh? The time I scheduled was before the Royal Lord and the others, so why did Shopkeeper Zhu do what the Royal Lord did to them first, instead of me? Everything must be done on a first-come, first-served basis, right?"
Liu Yao asked lightly with an unhappy look in his eyes.
"Well, actually, this is all my fault. Your Excellency, you are the county magistrate of our county. You have a lofty status and distinguished status. The tables and chairs you use must be different from ordinary objects. Although the hollow gold silk dragon and phoenix Xiangxiang Eight Immortals table is good, but
It is not the best. During this time, I have developed a more sophisticated carving technique, so I plan to use it on the set of tables and chairs you customized. The new technique takes more time, so it is too late.
A little more."
Faced with Liu Yao's aggressive behavior, if Zhu Hansan didn't come up with something good, he might be imprisoned later for bumping into the county magistrate.
"Oh? Is that ready?"
Hearing what Zhu Hansan said, Liu Yao immediately became interested. He also hoped that his things were different from ordinary people and should be the most expensive and the best, so he asked immediately.
"Because the carving style is extremely complicated, only three chairs have been carved so far. If you are interested, you can take a closer look."
Zhu Hansan's face was full of bitterness. He originally planned to use that set of furniture for speculation, but now it seems that he has to give it to Liu Yao.
"That's such an honor. Lead the way!"
During this period of time, Zhu Hansan had an excellent reputation in Jingxian County, especially for helping the poor from time to time (doing activities and delivering steamed cakes). If it was true as Zhu Hansan said, then Liu Yao would not embarrass him for this.
It is still possible to have some grace.
When everyone walked into the room, they saw three unique-shaped chairs placed in the center. Liu Yao was attracted by the appearance at the first glance. He walked forward quickly, stroking the statues on the chairs and asked:
"Shopkeeper Zhu won't you explain something to the county?"
"My lord, the chair you are touching is called the 'Chair of Dry Gold', and the other two are the 'Chair of Gold Exchange' and the 'Chair of Kuntu'."
Zhu Hansan said helplessly that he didn't know if the Eight Immortals existed in this era, so he had to start making things up randomly.
"Oh? It seems that there are some secrets in the Eight Immortals Table. If Shopkeeper Zhu has time, he can explain it in detail! Who does the statue on the back of this chair look like? Or is there really an immortal?"
The ancients believed in ghosts and gods, even the county magistrate was no exception. Liu Yao asked with great interest.
