At dawn, Zhao Yuxiang, who had not slept all night, drank a thick Tieguanyin and listened to Zhao Lu's return: "Master, I have checked, the day before yesterday, the little boy held a 100-day banquet, and two little slaves escaped on a rainy night, and the next day they were found by Zhao Yun and Zhao Feng who patrolled the mountains and brought back to the villa, one of them is named Xiaolan, and the other is Xiong Chen, these two people were sent by the trafficker Sister Hua'er six years ago." ”

Zhao Yuxiang held his head and thought about it for a while, he was busy going back to coax the child that day, but he just waved his hand and asked his subordinates to deal with the matter according to the usual practice, and then forgot about it.

"What happened to the man and woman?"

"Sir, the woman died on the spot, but the man survived a hundred strokes, and we sold him along with three other disobedient slaves. ”

Zhao Yuxiang's whole body trembled: "The woman is dead?"

"Yes, I heard Zhao Yun say that he threw it into the canyon of the back mountain, and I am afraid that it has been eaten by wild wolves at this moment. ”

Zhao Yuxiang rubbed his fat palms, and said in a trembling voice: "This may not be, you will send someone to take a look below the canyon later, even if you really let the wild wolf eat it, there will be wreckage left, the life and death of this woman, you must find out, and the man, where did he sell it?"

Zhao Lu hesitated slightly, and there was news from the Information Hall that something happened in Dancheng, a hundred miles away, and the family of the wealthy Wang Yuanwai in the city was killed by an unknown assassin, and the governor of Dancheng, Lord Chen, was also killed, and now Dancheng is under martial law in the whole city to arrest the murderer.

"Zhao Lu, why don't you speak?"

"It's such a lord, I heard that there was a big incident in the Dancheng next door, and last night there was a big feast on Wang Yuanwai's birthday, but he suddenly broke into a murderer, and a sword ended up with Wang Yuanwai's ......"

Zhao Yuxiang wiped the cold sweat on his forehead, Zhao Lu saw that his master was panicked, and hurriedly relieved: "Don't worry, my lord, our villa is heavily guarded, and there is a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger inside. ”

Zhao Yuxiang muttered to himself: "People naturally don't dare to harass, but ...... Ghosts and gods have the ability to reach the sky, and no matter how powerful a mortal's martial arts are, they can't help those ...... A slight finger from the ghost!"

Zhao Lu didn't know what happened last night, so he could only be silent when he saw this.

After Zhao Yuxiang muttered to himself for a while, he came to his senses and asked again: "Zhao Lu, you will go to Zhiyun Temple immediately and tell the abbot that I am going to do a great Dharma to spend all these years。。。。。 For the lodge ... For the slaves and their families who died in the mines, it is best to do this ritual in seven days, and the larger the scale, the better, and the amount of silver you can spend. ”

Zhao Lu looked at Zhao Yuxiang in confusion, did this old man change his sex?

He coughed twice, and although he felt puzzled in his heart, he still responded.

Zhao Yuxiang waved his hand to ask him to step back, and he paced around the study with his hands in his hands, feeling panicked in his heart.

That woman in Tsing Yi looks absolutely ordinary, Xiaolan Fairy?Xiaolan Slave Girl?Is there any involvement in this?

A respectful voice came from outside the door: "Master, Xiang Zhao has returned to his life." ”

"Come in. ”

Xiang Zhao walked in with a thick roster in his hand, and after he saluted Zhao Yuxiang, he spread out the roster and said: "Master, the old slave has roughly counted it, the number of slaves registered in our villa is about 5,393, and if there is any omission, the number may be around two hundred." ”

Zhao Yuxiang nodded and cleared his throat: "It turns out that there are so many slaves stored in the villa, cough cough, it seems that there is no need to use so much, Xiang Zhao, there is no need to drive them up the back mountain these days, you go to the warehouse today, give each of them a set of clothes, three meals a day, and get ...... according to the specifications of the family."

Xiang Zhao was taken aback, and his slender eyes glared at Zhao Yuxiang: "Master, this kind of expense is very large, think about it, more than 5,000 slaves?

Zhao Yuxiang shouted with a dark face: "Bold minions, who is the master of this villa now? If I say so, you will do it, and you tell them that after seven days, each person will receive 1,000 taels of silver, leave the villa, and have nothing to do with the Jiudao villa in the future." ”

inexplicably received a scolding from Zhao, so he could only bow his head and close the roster.

"By the way, do you remember that among the slaves, there was a man named Xiong Chen and a woman named Xiao Lan?"

Xiang Zhao sighed in his heart, these two people were the slaves under his jurisdiction, but they disappeared for some reason two days ago.

"Sir...... It's these two, but it'...... It's gone. ”

Zhao Yuxiang kicked at Xiang Zhao: "You fat pig, why don't you take a good look at your own people, now that you have caused this trouble, I will cut you with a thousand knives when I turn around, why don't you get out quickly!"

Xiang Zhao covered his spicy and aching knees and limped out of the study.
