As for the specific division of labor and execution, naturally, Zhang Zhou did not need to worry about it. Naturally, Wei Da and Wang Sheng would deal with the rest.

Zhang Zhou had never entered a woman's room before, and was looking left and right, when he saw her enter, he quickly waved his hand to withdraw from the others. He put away his complicated feelings and greeted her warmly with a smile, "Sister Guan, please sit down. Just now, little brother's words were rude, but I hope you don't find it strange, sister!"

Guan Yuniang looked at the unfamiliar face of the young torturer and replied politely, "Sir, there is no need to be like this. This humble woman does not dare! "Your Excellency, you are so young and capable, but I think you have never seen a lady with your own eyes before!"

Zhang Zhou gestured for her to sit on the stool and poured her a cup of tea. He did everything naturally and he didn't feel that anything was wrong, while Guan Yuniang felt unwell. Usually, there were some important people who were not involved in small matters. However, in today's situation, there was no need to be so courteous to Lord Judgement, who had come to rob their family. It was either a thief or a traitor. Guan Yu-niang subconsciously stood up, indicating that she could not bear the treatment, which made Zhang Zhou realize something, and laughed out loud: "I am not some big shot, I am just a little criminal arrest, and it hasn't been half a year since then! Elder sister doesn't need to think about it too much, just relax! "

Then, he thought of something and hurriedly added, "I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Zhang Zhou. You can call me Little Zhou from now on!"

Guan Yuniang was curious about Zhang Zhou's attitude. He was obviously trying to please her. No, he was trying to flatter her. What sort of trick was this? He was on full alert.

… ….

"Sister Guan, don't look down on yourself. I've seen your ability that day. It's not flattery. According to me, sister's ability is definitely not inferior to those senior officials in the court …"

"Sister Guan, you are the most precious treasure in the Flower God's Descent. You are even more valuable than a gold mountain. In my eyes, the Flower God's Descent is not worth more than just you …"

"Elder sister Guan, when are you old?" In my heart, big sister is definitely the most mature and enchanting time for girls! "

… ….

Even though Guan Yuniang had experienced a lot, she had never received such flattery before! In the end, Guan Yuniang felt that she was about to break out in cold sweat. She could not take it anymore, so she got up and kneeled down.

"Master, Jade Mother's life is like grass, why are you doing this?" Can you give me a direct answer? "

Zhang Zhou definitely wasn't being perfunctory just now, but he couldn't help it! When he saw her kneel down, he hurriedly knelt down on one knee to support her, and said with incomparable seriousness: "Sister Guan, I swear to the heavens that I will not harm you in the slightest, nor do I have any ill intentions. I only sincerely hope that you can help me and continue to manage the Flower God's Descent!"

Guan Yuniang was absolutely shocked, not because of his request, but because of his kneeling! In this era, even if a woman was noble or rich, she wouldn't be able to get a man to kneel like this. In this era, even if a woman was noble or rich, she wouldn't be able to get a man to kneel like this. He had lived in a flower garden for so many years, and he had seen many men do it, but his actions were absolutely shocking!

"Milord, you can't do this. This humble girl really can't endure this kind of treatment!"

Zhang Zhou didn't have the dignity of a man of this era. He continued to speak seriously, "Elder sister Guan, Little Zhou is sincere and never deceived. If you lie, let the sky strike …"

This time, Guan Yuniang did not have the chance to be embarrassed or angry, but Zhang Zhou himself was shocked. He took the initiative and changed into a knee position first, begging with a bitter face: "Sister Guan, what a big master! I … I really couldn't control myself just now. I didn't mean to frighten my sister! "

That anxious gaze was not the least bit fake. By now, Guan Yu-niang had already come to believe that Zhang Zhou was not making fun of her. Her pair of beautiful eyes looked both embarrassed and resentful. At the same time, she seemed to be at a loss of what to do. The good man lowered his head, not saying a word. Zhang Zhou hurriedly grabbed her arm and pulled her up.

"Sister Guan, it's very cold underground when you get up to talk. Believe me, I really didn't mean it!"

Guan Yuniang could not hear his endless apologies. After she got up, she only came back to her senses after a long time, and gently changed the topic, "Sir, is there anything I can help you with?" But the news about Old Qi? "

Seeing that she wasn't angry, Zhang Zhou felt reassured.

"It's good as long as elder sister isn't angry! What did that old geezer care about him for? Don't mention him, don't mention him! "

Then he rubbed his hands and laughed: "To be honest, Old Qi will never have another chance to turn things around again! However, I really don't understand how to manage this business. I want my sister to help me manage it, but I don't need to show my face to suffer the grievances. Just help me manage it from behind. "

Guan Yuniang thought to herself, since you can let go of Old Qi's business, the people in this building will definitely listen to your orders. Why praise me like this?

Zhang Zhou continued, "Hezhou Lie, sister knows about this, right?"

Guan Yuniang nodded and listened to him continue.

"Even so, it belongs to me!"

This had to make Guan Yu-niang look at him in a new light. Although Hezhou Lie was a rising star, his enormous commercial potential was obvious.

"In the future, I will have more and more businesses. I urgently need a talent like sister to help me manage this."

Guan Yuanniang could not help but be embarrassed. In this era, women's status was low after all! How could he hire a woman to take care of his own business! Only someone with the status of a matriarch would have the qualifications to help her man manage a business behind her back! What was he trying to do? Did he have an ulterior motive? But the age difference was too big! Could it be that you like a mother like me? Or …? All of a sudden, Guan Yuniang had let her imagination run wild!

Zhang Zhou didn't consider her thoughts at all. In his previous life, it was normal for large companies to hire managers. Right now, he had to do too many things himself. It was really difficult, but the crux was that he knew that it did not concern his mistress's professional abilities. Guan Yuniang was the perfect candidate for him to hire her for management! Was there no need to be so humble? No, Zhang Zhou thought it was necessary, because he knew how valuable a good manager was! Besides, there was also an unspeakable feeling. This Guan Yuniang was like his wife from his previous life! This familiarity from his previous life made him willing to believe in this Guan Yuniang!

"But, my lord should not be familiar with Madam Jade. Why do you trust me so much?"

"Sister Guan, how can you return the favor? Just call me Little Boat."

"Since the lord thinks highly of me and calls me elder sister, I will agree. However, how should I address the lord? Madam Jade definitely wouldn't dare to go beyond that."

Zhang Zhou felt a little helpless towards her persistence, so he didn't bring it up anymore and bluntly answered her questions.

"There are two reasons. Firstly, my intuition tells me that you are trustworthy and that your ability is sufficient. Secondly, because elder sister is very much like a person!"

"Who is it?" Women were always like this. Even if they weren't outstanding, they still subconsciously didn't like to be someone's substitute.

"Ai, I can only say that he is someone from my dreams! "Believe me when I say that!"

The two of them did not speak for a long time, each with their own thoughts. Finally, Guan Yuniang gently stood up and greeted Zhang Zhou with a woman's salute, saying, "Yuniang is willing to serve you!"

Before Zhang Zhou could feel happy, she kneeled down and said, "You don't have to pay me, but I have a request. I hope that you can save my brother's life!"

Caught off guard, Zhang Zhou also knelt down on both knees again, supporting Guan YuNiang who was kneeling on the ground, "Sister, quickly get up, I can't stand you kneeling like this! As long as I can help you, I will do so without hesitation! "

Guan Yuniang whispered in her heart.

"If you're like this, I won't be able to take it!"

It was a pity that her family had declined twenty years ago. The brother and sister duo were saved by the sister of Hua Shen Luo's former boss, and they were treated as sisters. Later, when the boss was sick, Hua Shen Luo was handed over to his sister to take care of. Guan Yu Niang relied on her ability to help Hua Shen Luo manage the business well. A few years ago, Hua Shen Luo was targeted by Old Qi. He took advantage of the shop owner's son's lack of business, taking advantage of gambling and other bad habits to set up a trap, causing Hua Shen Luo to be in huge debt! Unable to repay the debt, the Flower God fell into his hands. The Lady Boss's anger attacked her heart, but it soon died down. Old Qi kidnapped Guan Yu-niang's brother as a threat and forced her to run the Flower God's Fall for him. Guan Yu-niang was begging Zhang Zhou to save her brother, who was being held captive.

Zhang Zhou thought for a while and said, "Elder sister, don't worry. Although Old Qi is a cruel and merciless person, he is too busy to take care of himself. He definitely doesn't have the heart to bother about your brother." Does big sister know where your brother is being held? "

"I know. There is a mine outside the city which belongs to Old Qi. My brother is there!"

"Mine?" This intelligence report didn't mention anything about it. Zhang Zhou hurriedly asked for the location and memorized it.

Right at this moment, someone knocked on the door. It was Wei Da. After entering the house, he saw that the clothes of the two people inside were still intact. He couldn't help but have a doubtful expression on his face.

Wei Da chuckled and hurriedly said: "Let me tell sire that Old Qi's best friends have already been found out. How should we deal with them?"

"One more person alive. One more contribution. Keep them and escort them back to the yamen!"

Wei Da then said in a low voice, "I found over two hundred thousand taels of silver in the accounts room. Look …"

"Today, you made a surprise attack on Old Qi's old lair, Flower God Luo, which earned you a hundred thousand silver taels. As for the rest, you can go yourself."

Wei Dazhi naturally understood the meaning behind this. He happily slapped his thigh. He was almost about to give Zhang Zhou a kiss. After thanking him repeatedly, he turned around and was about to leave. Zhang Zhou suddenly asked fiercely, "What did you want to see in the house?"

Wei Da was startled. He hurriedly shook his head and said, "I saw you handling official matters. I didn't see anything else!"

Zhang Zhou nodded his head in satisfaction, indicating that he could leave now.

The matter regarding Flower Goddess Luo couldn't be settled in a short period of time, so Zhang Zhou was able to converse with Guan Yu-niang.

"Are there any whores who are willing to take advantage of the situation?"

Seeing Guan Yu-niang nod her head without saying anything, Zhang Zhou understood that for a person like Old Qi, it would be unreasonable not to do all the wrong things!

"During this period of time, it's impossible for Flower God to continue his business as usual. It's also a good opportunity to change the mode!"

"How?"

"First of all, we absolutely can't allow any more cases of coercing a virtuous wife to happen! If there is anything you don't want to do, you can leave! "Second, take the high-end route. I intend to develop towards singing and dancing so that these people can make a living with dignity. There's no need to …"

Zhang Zhou didn't say it out loud, but Guan Yu-niang understood. She was deeply grateful to Zhang Zhou in her heart, but it was difficult for her.

"If it's just singing and dancing, I'm afraid..."

"Elder sister, don't worry. I have my own thoughts." If anyone is willing to continue this business, I don't object, but we must be clear about the position! And I want, I want … "

He wanted to say that he had to do a daily medical examination to prevent illness, but he couldn't think of any good words to say. After all, he was too embarrassed to speak too bluntly to Guan Yuniang, so he could only say, "slowly figure it out!"

The atmosphere in the main hall of the yamen was somewhat heavy. Xu Huaiyan looked at the reports handed in one by one, his face as gloomy as water.

The target of this arrest was definitely not just one old geezer! The Prefecture Overseer, two patrolling field officers, and eight or eight yamen officials had all escaped. There were at least twenty people.

In addition, during the capture process, many areas encountered strong resistance, resulting in significant losses!

When Zhang Xingzhi led his men to capture the head of the government yamen, he brought his torturers to charge into the backyard of the yamen, and they were ambushed by a group of martial arts cultivators. When Zhang Xinghe led his men to capture the head of the yamen, he brought his torturers to the backyard of the yamen, and he was ambushed by a group of martial arts cultivators. However, the Prefecture Overseer seized this opportunity to flee! Zhang Xingzhi led the others to chase after him, but there was still no news of him.

The most tragic was that Yue Ting, who was in charge of capturing the targets of the state patrol, brought along two hundred experts from the capital's torture camp. During the disposal process, his actions were too extreme, inciting some of the state troops to resist, and after calming the situation, he confirmed that more than thirty people had been apprehended and over fifty people had been wounded.

"Humph!" "He injured two people, captured a money grubber from the Prefecture Public Yamen, and actually injured two people!"

"Catching two, running away from three of them... I wonder what they are all for..."

"This is also a complete mess..."

Cao Yi stood expressionlessly on the side, as if everything had nothing to do with him. This time, Cao Yi had suggested a plan ahead of time, but Xu Huaiyan had rejected his suggestion! He strongly advocated using thunder to attack with all his strength. He wanted to emphasize the imposing aura of a criminal law enforcer! Without sufficient time to prepare, he had to rely entirely on hot-bloodedness. Therefore, such an outcome was not surprising.

Suddenly, Xu Huaiyan's eyes brightened. Although his voice was not loud, he recited each word clearly: "Killing forty-three bandits, three names on the list, capturing seventeen bandits alive, obtaining one hundred thousand silver taels as well as assisting in the capture of eight fugitives. An accidental fire had damaged a restaurant, and not a single person had been injured. The bandit leader escaped the two of them and is still being pursued. "

Xu Huaishan read it again, and then said happily, "Yes, yes, not bad! "That's right!"

Although Cao Yi had heard it clearly, he still took it politely and read it seriously. He then said in a somewhat picky tone, "This official has been running the Hezhou Penitentiary Yamen for the past two years and did not properly train it. Tonight, it seems that it is indeed hard for people to be satisfied with it, but this student is still okay. Unfortunately, he actually destroyed a restaurant."

"Ah, Master Cao, you purposely said that to me! With such contributions, what's a restaurant worth? "

Most of the troops didn't even have to mention whether they were dead or injured. They didn't even get a few silver coins. How could Xu Huaishan, who was in charge of this matter, not be happy when he spent a hundred thousand silver taels all of a sudden? This battle record could cover up other flaws! Receiving the report and looking at the signature on it, he said, "How many years have you been under torture as a student? It was time for him to be promoted. In the past few years, there had been fewer and fewer people who were willing to show their hand. "If Senior Cao is willing, I'll bring it back to the capital to train. What do you think?"

There was no one who didn't like capable and thoughtful subordinates. Of course, this was on the premise that they wouldn't threaten their own personal interests.

Cao Yi laughed.

"Master Xu, even though this kid has some ability, he's even more capable in causing trouble. He was just nominated to be a constable a few days ago, he's so young!" If we go to the capital, who knows how much trouble we'll cause! "

Cao Yi obviously didn't want to let him go, so Xu Huaiyan naturally felt embarrassed to rob him of his beloved.
