Chapter 24 A combination of kindness and power
Wang Meng, along with a few young men, carried Liu Si away from the Zhao family in fear.

But in just a few minutes, Wang Meng came back with a few young men, and they all looked unhappy.

There are no injuries.

After leaving Zhao's house, they checked and found that Liu Si had no injuries on his body.

It seems like he died suddenly.

this.
Therefore, when he looked at Zhao Shi again, his eyes were evasive.

Some of what Liu Si said was true.

The mother and daughter of the Zhao family were like a huge flame in Anpingfang, attracting countless moths.

Not to mention Anpingfang, even in the entire Qingshan County, there are not many prettier people than these two. Those who come to the tavern to drink when they have nothing to do usually have some ulterior motives.

Bao Ye naturally saw it.

I secretly sighed in my heart that this tavern has been run for four generations now.

Every generation is a woman.

pretty woman.

Back then, he was a regular customer in the pub.

It’s just a pity that all the women in this family are destined to be widows.

The men either abandoned them and left, or died suddenly.

Unlucky husband!

The fate of being a unlucky husband for generations.

This statement is very popular in Anpingfang.

It was this sentence that completely plunged Zhao Yan into the abyss. She was nearly seventeen years old and still had no husband.

The matchmakers who come to people's doors are either looking for mistresses or concubines. None of them are from a decent family.

Now, there is a man in this family, even though he is just a spirit. But, he is still a man after all. A family has a foundation to stand on in this world only when there is a man, and only when there is a man can life be confident.

What's more, in today's world, only the ancestral spirits can protect the family.

Mr. Bao quickly collected his thoughts. Zhao Shi had already established his authority, and now it was his turn to help the Zhao family.

To be honest, if the man from the Zhao family was confused and ignorant, he would think that the sacrifice just now was enough. But now it seems that the man from the Zhao family is not the kind of country bumpkin who is easy to fool, but a real big man who has seen the world, a noble man. He was caught off guard by this power. Facing a smart man, someone who understands the ways of the world, he knows that what he has just done is not enough.

To establish authority, it should be the Zhao family's doing, but he has to help with it. This is a tacit understanding between people who understand each other. Otherwise, judging from the performance of these people just now, even if the Zhao family doesn't say anything today, it will eventually leave a rift in the hearts of both parties.

Bao Ye was actually very disappointed. Liu Si, just a scoundrel, actually made dozens of people dare not even say a word, especially Wang Meng. He was even more disappointed.

Since it was useless, then let them understand how great the Zhao family's favor was. So he cleared his throat and said, "Everyone, you should be thankful to have the ancestors of the Zhao family! There are kind people like the Zhao family as neighbors. In today's world, it's good enough for a person to take care of himself. Who would care about the life and death of others?"

"Butcher Chen's family has been our neighbors for decades. You all should know what the conditions are for hiding in his house!"

"In today's world, human life is worthless. If you go ask the refugees outside the city, you will know that two steamed buns can buy a life!"

"Little girl, big man, you can be bought home as a slave for a hundred coins. According to the market conditions of the Chen family, just think about how much money you owe the Zhao family. It is not too much to ask you to pay it back with your lives, but what happened just now? He was just a scoundrel, and no one stepped forward."

Bao Ye's shouts and questions were like knives stabbing into their hearts. No matter whether they were men or women, they felt ashamed and wished there was a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Jiang Ling'er and Zhao Shi didn't say anything, they just watched quietly.

Since these people are useless, let them know that they have received a favor from our family. Drive them away?
Of course not!

It's okay before they agree, but if we drive them all away now, the hatred will become bigger.

What's more, Zhao Shi didn't think they could be of any use. He just wanted to use these people as a layer of warning to give him time to react.

After waiting for the villagers in the yard to digest his words, Grandpa Bao spoke again: "There have been rumors in the street for so many years, but the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family still chooses to help the villagers. This is a favor, a great favor, we can't forget it, and we dare not forget it!"

"From today on, if I hear you guys talking about any gossip about the Zhao family on the street, don't blame me for being rude!"

"Just like Liu Si said, I am also a lonely man. I am not afraid of offending people or being a bad guy."

Bao Ye's words were very harsh.

The heads of these people seem to be about to fall into their crotches.

"Uncle Bao, you can't say that. We have all kneeled down and worshipped just like we worship our ancestors." At this time, someone felt embarrassed by what Uncle Bao said and retorted in a low voice.

The voice was not loud and lacked confidence, but it was particularly conspicuous in the silent night sky.

Master Bao turned around and looked in the direction where the voice came from. After thinking for a moment, he said, "It was Niu Wang who spoke just now, right? What's the matter? Do you think the Zhao family needs a filial son and grandson like you? Don't say that when you go out, I'm afraid you'll be beaten to death!"

After Bao Ye finished speaking, he saw Niu Wang lowering his head and not daring to speak. He turned around and looked at other people. Seeing that many people were looking evasive, he realized that what Niu Wang had just said represented the thoughts of a large number of people.

"Oh," Bao Ye sighed inwardly. These people are so much worse than those in the countryside. But when you think about it, the countryside relies on blood ties and clans to increase cohesion.

What about the people in the city? Without blood ties and clan pressure, their thoughts are naturally different.

But, there were some things that needed to be said, so he spoke again, in a deep voice: "You don't think that just because you have performed sacrifices, you take it for granted, do you? I asked you to perform sacrifices only to give an explanation to the ancestors. I tell you, this sacrifice is useless to the ancestors!"

"Incense?"

"Why are ancestors called ancestral spirits? Because only the incense offered by the descendants can be used by the ancestral spirits!"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expression suddenly changed.

Even Zhao Shi and Jiang Ling'er are no exception.

The reason why Jiang Linger didn't accept any money was because she felt that these people's sacrifices would be useful to Zhao Shi.

Where is Zhao Shi?
My heart was in turmoil.

Useless?
impossible!
He knew this very well because he had just received incense.
There is no doubt about this.

Is Mr. Bao deceiving these people?

wrong!

This lie is easily exposed for many families with ancestral spirits.

No lie?
that he
Ok?
Zhao Shi was stunned for a moment, then thought of a possibility.

The space of incense and divine power.

Perhaps this is the most crucial thing, because of the incense power space, he can collect the incense produced by others' worship?
Could it be that this space of incense and divine power is his golden finger?
Zhao Shi thought that being able to connect the two worlds was his golden finger, but now it seems that this space of incense and divine power is it.

But why can the incense in the incense stick be absorbed by all the ancestral spirits?

Zhao Shi had a lot of thoughts in his mind, but there was no change on his face.

I know everything is under my control.
