As soon as the cloth was removed, the other party immediately shouted: "What do you want to do? Untie it for us quickly."

Bai Shan sat on the stone and said: "It is impossible to untie it. This rope is rough. The more you struggle, the more injured you will be. Why not answer me honestly to avoid suffering."

The other party continued to yell and struggle, but seeing that no one was paying attention to him except for the people around him talking in low voices, he couldn't help but slowly quieted down, and fear finally arose in his heart, "You, what do you want to do?"

Bai Shan raised his eyebrows slightly, "I should ask you this, but this is not urgent. Let me tell you what your name is first..."

The other party paused and said, "Me, I am the fifth child at home."

Bai Shan hesitated and looked at Zhou Dalang: "Is that the fifth cousin?"

How could Zhou Dalang recognize him?

His family had not been in contact with the Zhang family for more than ten years, and they had rarely interacted with each other before they cut off contact. He did not even recognize their cousins.

However, people in the village knew more. Someone calculated their seniority and said, "What fifth cousin? Young Master, that is your nephew."

Bai Shan suddenly realized, "It turns out that I'm still an elder, so it's better to ask questions. Come on, nephew of the Zhang family, tell me why you came to Qili Village today?"

"We are here to visit relatives!"

Bai Shan: "Since we are visiting relatives, why did you get into a quarrel with your relatives and get into fights?"

Zhanggoro felt a little guilty, but he still frowned and said, "Well, you should ask the Zhou family."

Bai Shan then looked at Zhou Lang and said, "Fourth brother, tell me."

Zhou Lang pouted at him and said, "Are you here to visit relatives? You are here to enmity. As soon as you come to our door, you ask us for benefits. You want me to take you on business and borrow money. After all,

You still want to take advantage of our daughter."

"The daughters of our old Zhou family are all very rich. How could your family have the nerve to marry our daughter?"

Zhou Man's eyes widened, "Engagement?"

"Yes, he said that an aunt from the Zhang family married into our family before, and now we have to marry one back to the Zhang family. Not to mention the eldest brother, I want to slap him with my shoes after hearing this."

Bai Shan knew what he was doing, so he had his mouth blocked again, and he stood up and said, "Brothers, if you can trust me, just leave them all under my care. How about we discuss this matter when Zhang's family arrives tomorrow?"

"

Zhou Lang was puzzled, "What are you still talking about? Just throw him out of the village. Shouldn't any scoundrel come to our door and we all have to give him a favor? If not, we will start a riot?"

People in the village also said: "Yes, yes, there is no such reason."

Bai Shandao: "Of course I know, but the two families are relatives after all. It is not good to have trouble in the yamen. If you leave it alone, you will just drive people out, and it will only deepen the hatred. It is better to bring the elders of the two families together to talk about it."

Let’s talk and let’s resolve this matter completely to avoid such disputes in the future.”

Zhou Lang lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and no longer refused.

So Bai Shan had people carry all eight of them to Bai's house and locked them in a wing room.

Zhou Man followed him, "Why are you locked up in our house? Wouldn't it be better in my house?"

"I'm afraid that my father-in-law won't be able to resist attacking them when he comes back," Bai Shan said, "They are tied up now. It would be bad if they were accidentally broken."

It is safest for people to be detained in the Bai family.

Locking the people into a side room, Bai Shan asked people to untie the ropes on their bodies and tie their hands and feet again.

Let them move a little bit, but not break free.

Bai Shan took off the cloth from one of them's mouth, and stuffed it back when he opened his mouth, "If you make a noise and curse, then the cloth will not be untied. If you stay quiet, we are all relatives, and I won't worry about anything."

It’s too ugly.”

The eight people were furious and whined, but when they saw Bai Shan standing calmly with his hands behind his back, they could only calm down.

Only then was Bai Shan satisfied. He took off the cloth from their mouths and said, "That's right. Since someone is talking, you should listen to it and think about it in your heart. You can't just act recklessly. Such people often don't live long."

, and it’s hard to know how he died.”

Bai Shan dragged a chair to sit down, looked down at the eight people sitting on the ground, and was curious, "How did you remember the quarrel between the Zhou family? The two families have not been in contact for more than ten years. I thought this was the case.

The relationship has long since ended."

"The bones are broken and the tendons are connected. My father and cousin are direct cousins. The two families are connected by blood. How can we break the relationship?"

"Even, even though the Zhou family has become rich, they can't just turn around and forget about their relatives, right? If word spreads, I don't think the Zhou family will have any reputation?"

"If they don't even help their blood relatives, how can they help the villagers? I wonder if they will have the nerve to return to Luojiang County in the future."

"It sounds scary, but the relationship between the two families has been passed down for three generations. If a random in-law comes to the Zhou family, what will happen to the Zhou family?" Bai Shan was very curious, "Do you really think the people outside are here?

When you hear these rumors, will you think that the Zhou family is ruthless, instead of thinking that your Zhang family is greedy and traitorous?"

"Why are you so greedy? Don't talk nonsense. We are just here to visit relatives. But not only did you not welcome us, you beat and scolded us without saying a word, and even locked us up."

"Who made you think that you can get benefits from coming to Zhou's house?"

"What do you mean? We are just here to get some gifts. You are so rich, why don't you help your poor relatives?"

Bai Shan could only ask another question, "Who was the first person who suggested coming to Zhou's house to ask for benefits?"

When Bai Shan finally left the room, everyone in the room was stuffed with cloth towels.

Zhou Man sat outside with his chin propped up, and Yin or a few of them were also outside. When he saw him coming out, he immediately stood up and said, "How is it? Have you asked? Who instigated it?"

Bai Shan glanced at them incomprehensibly, "Do you also think it was someone who instigated it? But the fact is that we thought too much and they came here on their own."

"ah?"

Yin You couldn't understand, "Relatives who have not been in contact with each other for more than ten years and have a bad relationship actually come to visit him?"

Zhou Man also couldn't understand, "You are so arrogant and domineering when you come to fight against the autumn wind? I don't know, I thought it was our family who was fighting against the autumn wind."

Bai Shan couldn't help but laugh and comforted her before saying: "I asked carefully. The news about drinking in the village yesterday spread. People outside said that the Zhou family is generous and nostalgic. They have made a lot of money with the people in the village over the years.

A lot of money has benefited the entire Luojiang County."

"As soon as I came back, I invited the whole village to have a drink. This was the first time in Baimaguan Town and even in Luojiang County," Bai Shan said, "The Zhang family also heard about it and didn't think much about it at first, but

At noon, a group of idle young people gathered together to have a drink and talked about this matter while eating. The leader, Zhang Sanlang, was our cousin. He thought that since the Zhou family is generous, they are so lenient to those who are not related by blood in the village.

He, he should be more open to learning the piano, so he invited everyone to come and play the autumn wind together."
