Chapter 1097: Good Luck to Mr. Zhang, Jin Cuilian Returns Favor

Although there were quite a few idle people crowded at the entrance of the inn, there was no noise.

When Jin Cuilian and her daughter saw Su Mingzhe coming back, their eyes suddenly filled with tears:
"Mr. Su, you are finally back!"

"Don't panic, old man, don't panic, sister!"

Su Mingzhe comforted the two with a smile and glanced at everyone in the inn.

I saw the son of Mr. Zhang who had escaped in the morning, sitting in the lobby with two drunken yamen runners. When he saw me, his eyes suddenly flashed with ferocity:

"Third brother, sixth brother, it was this kid and a monk who ruined my good deeds!"

The two yamen runners burped and were about to scold Su Mingzhe.

Su Mingzhe was too lazy to talk to these dirty guys. He just raised a piece of Imperial City Commander card that he had made with stones from the roadside, waved it in front of the two yamen runners, and angrily shouted:
"You blind dog, get out of here right now!"

Although the two yamen runners had drunk a lot of wine, they were not blind or deaf. They opened their eyes wide and saw clearly that there was a strange animal head on the top of the bronze token, and three large characters "Imperial City Bureau" were engraved below the animal head. They were immediately frightened and broke out in a cold sweat, and knelt down with a thump:
"Damn the little ones! Damn the little ones!"

The Imperial City Officials and the yamen runners are somewhat similar in function, as they both work for a certain person.

However, the Imperial City Bureau works for the emperor and is the emperor's confidant, so they are three times more senior than the emperor.

These two yamen runners were merely the lowest and least prestigious of the official hierarchy.

Comparing the two, one is in the sky and the other is on the earth.

So, when they saw Su Mingzhe holding up the Imperial City Commander's sign, the two yamen runners didn't even have the courage to take another look; their bones went limp with fear.

"roll!"

Su Mingzhe glared at the two of them with cold eyes, but didn't want to say a word to them!
The two yamen runners didn't dare to say anything back and immediately crawled out of the inn.

Mr. Zhang's son saw the situation turn around, but he still didn't know what was happening.

Fortunately, he is not a fool. Even the backer he found ran away, so how could he dare to stay?

Wait until the inn is quiet.

Su Mingzhe took Jin Cuilian and her daughter to the guest room and sat down, and comforted them again:

"Father-in-law, Miss Cui Lian, everything is fine now. You just need to rest. We will set off tomorrow!"

"Thank you sir!"

Father-in-law Jin was not good at speaking and could only express his gratitude over and over again.

Jin Cui Lian was smart. Seeing that Su Mingzhe was covered in dust, she quickly went to the waiter to ask for a basin of water, brought it into the guest room, and helped Su Mingzhe wash up.

Su Mingzhe washed up and let Jin Cui Lian and her daughter rest. He also had to find the captain of the ship to get the birthday gift onto the ship so that they could set off early the next morning.

As for the son of Mr. Zhang, he was arrogant and domineering and raped women.

Su Mingzhe had already planted a 'life and death talisman' on him in the morning.

Just wait until midnight tonight, when yin and yang interact, the life and death talisman will take effect.

"There shouldn't be anyone in this world who can remove the ice talisman, right?"

Su Mingzhe left the inn leisurely and went to the market pier to find the captain to prepare for loading.

the other side.

After the two yamen runners took Mr. Zhang's son out of the inn, they gave the culprit for the trouble a severe beating.

The punching and kicking from the two men directly destroyed the yin and yang energies in Zhang Da Hu's son's body, and actually triggered the life and death talisman prematurely.

When Mr. Zhang's son returned home, he felt so painful and itchy that he could only roll around on the ground, howling and screaming in agony.

Upon seeing this, Mr. and Mrs. Zhang hurriedly asked what was going on.

The son of Mr. Zhang did not dare to mention that he had raped a woman. He only said that he was beaten by two yamen runners and his body began to itch.

"How can this be tolerated? This is outrageous!"

Although Zhang Yu looked down on her stepson, she still hoped that he would take care of her in her old age and see her to the end of her life.

Upon hearing that his son was severely beaten by two yamen runners, he immediately sent someone to ask his cousin, Captain Yan, to avenge his son.

Mr. Zhang sent someone to call the doctor.

Captain Yan and the doctor arrived one after another.

The doctor took a look first and saw that Mr. Zhang's son had already torn his clothes with his hands, and his skin was covered in blood, which was quite terrifying.

After examining for a while, the doctor looked embarrassed and pointed to the red dot on the Zhongfu acupoint of Mr. Zhang's son, saying:
"Master Zhang, your son's condition is extremely strange. I infer that he must have been poisoned! But I am not well-informed and cannot identify what kind of poison it is. Otherwise, Master Zhang, please find another doctor!"

The doctor failed to cure the disease and left without asking for money.

Mr. Zhang had no choice but to continue looking for a doctor.

When Captain Yan arrived, he believed what his cousin said and sent someone to find the two yamen runners who had caused the trouble.

When the two yamen runners arrived, they did not hide anything and told the story directly about how the son of Mr. Zhang had robbed a commoner girl and caused trouble for the Imperial City Bureau.

When Captain Yan learned that his cheap nephew had actually provoked someone from the Imperial City Division, he immediately broke out in a cold sweat:
"Cousin, brother-in-law, your family should prepare a coffin for this evil creature!"

"As the saying goes, 'A prefect destroys a family, and a county magistrate ruins a family'. This evil creature actually dared to provoke the Imperial City Division, which is more powerful than the county magistrate and prefect... You... better not implicate me!"

Captain Yan said, and turned to leave.

Zhang Yu was also frightened by her cousin's attitude, and quickly pulled him back, screaming:

"Brother, don't scare me. Since ancient times, officials have always been good at making money. The other party didn't suffer any loss, so why would he want to kill someone? At most, we can just give him gifts and compensate him!"

"Give gifts as compensation? How much can your family compensate?"

Captain Yan sneered, pointed at the two yamen runners who had caused the trouble, and snorted:

"Didn't you hear it just now? That man was very generous. He spent more than ten taels of silver to stay in an inn and give a tip to the waiter... With your family's wealth, at most you can only take out a few hundred taels of silver, which may not even be enough for him to spend in Kaifeng for a day."

When Mr. Zhang and Mrs. Zhang Yu heard that even paying money could not buy their lives, they immediately sobbed and burst into tears.

Captain Yan wanted to ignore him and just turned and left.

But when he was about to leave, he suddenly saw two maids standing at the door, and his eyes lit up:
"Cousin, cousin-in-law, you are so lucky!"

Inside the inn.

After Su Mingzhe finished his work on loading the ship, he returned to the inn.

Jin Cui Lian insisted on serving meals.

After the meal, Jin Cui Lian did not leave and said she wanted to play some musical instruments to entertain the man.

Su Mingzhe couldn't refuse, so he asked her to sing a little song.

Jin Cui Lian also has a good appearance, with a standard oval face, curved willow-leaf eyebrows, a rosy face, and affectionate eyes. As soon as she opens her mouth and speaks softly, she begins to stir a man's heartstrings.

After listening to a little song, Su Mingzhe felt dry in the mouth and couldn't help but pick up the teacup and drink it in one gulp:
"What a devil! No wonder Lu Zhishen was at a loss when he saw her!"

Just as Jin Cui Lian was plucking the strings of the zither and was about to sing another song.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door:

"Is the guest asleep?"

Jin Cui Lian seemed to be frightened and threw herself directly into the man's arms.

Su Mingzhe hugged the soft and warm girl and said unhappily to the outside:
"what's up?"

The waiter could tell Su Mingzhe's tone was unfriendly, but he had to speak:

"Sir, our county's Chief Constable Yan wants to see you. He brought a valuable gift and wants to mediate for Mr. Zhang's family!"

"A rich gift? What kind of rich gift can a wealthy family in a county town give?"

Su Mingzhe just thought that it was the death spell of Mr. Zhang's son, and he was not surprised that the other party had no choice but to compromise.

He comforted Jin Cui Lian and asked her to wait for him in the guest room.

Su Mingzhe straightened his clothes and followed the waiter downstairs to meet Captain Yan.
