The Five Elements Continent, the Northern Zhou Empire, and the provincial capital of Yuzhou Province, Dongyang Mansion.

In a high-gate mansion.

Shen Qingfeng, who was the governor of the province, looked at a young man in front of him who had his back to him and was concentrating on teasing a small turtle on the ground, and sighed, "Yu'er!"

"My father knows that you are indeed amazingly talented and talented, but because of this, you can't waste your time!"

"If you don't go to the imperial examination, you won't go to do business, or even if you don't go to the Tao, then what do you want to do? Is it just like now, not doing your business all day long, either looking for flowers and willows, or wandering around?"

The young man still didn't look back, staring boredly at the little turtle on the ground who kept stretching out his head and shrinking his head, and said with a smile: "Dad, look at this thing, is he provoking me?"

Shen Qingfeng covered his forehead and said with a wry smile: "Yu'er, you see if this will work, hurry up and arrange a family affair for your father, and in the future, let your wife be in charge of business, you just try to cause as little trouble as possible, otherwise you don't do even a little bit of business for a whole month and a whole year like you, how can you support yourself in the future!"

"You can't always count on being a father, right? You can't let your father be a corrupt official!"

The young man shook his hand again and again, and said impatiently: "Come on, Dad, don't talk in vain." ”

"With the wisdom of a child, looking at the world, who can compare? Who dares to compare?"

"What is the imperial examination, as long as the child is willing, taking the top prize is not just like playing. ”

"How tiring it is to do business, when the child grows up a few years later, he will marry the daughter of the richest man in the empire, his granddaughter, or something, and come back, won't he have everything? ”

"Cultivation is even more nonsense, where are the ghosts and ghosts all day long?"

"Where are the gods, where are the ghosts? Come out and let me see." ”

Shen Qingfeng's pupils shrank fiercely: "Yu'er can't be presumptuous, I'll come back to talk to you another day for my father." ”

With that, he turned around and walked away quickly.

..................

Dongyang Mansion, an independent house in the eastern suburbs of the city, with no village in front and no store in the back, even if the sky is blue and white, it looks gloomy and unpopular.

Deep in the house, in a large Hori room underground.

An old Taoist priest wearing a big red Taoist robe with a clear face sat cross-legged.

In front of him was an oversized bathtub, the entire tub was wrapped in layers, and a small piece of magic was placed on the lid of the tub.

There were many paper figures placed in rows and rows on the shrine, and those paper figures were all in the appearance of boys and girls without exception.

The red-robed old Taoist priest put his hands behind his shoulders and put on a strange posture, his eyes seemed to be open and closed. There are words in his mouth: "The human body is a ghost body, a monster body, hidden in the three souls of Styx Town, where to hide, hidden in the sea of seven spirits and blood, the sky covers the earth, the earth covers the sky, do not let the clouds disperse to see the blue sky, and the sky is full of gods and Buddhas turning into dust......"

As he chanted the incantation, the entire tub began to shake automatically, as if something inside was trying to break out of the cocoon.

After about a pillar of incense, the shaking finally stopped, and the old Taoist priest also stopped, opened his eyes, and slowly got up.

At this moment, the door of the Hori room opened, and a middle-aged man with a big belly, thief eyebrows, and a mustache on the side of his mouth walked in slowly. He walked straight to the red-robed old Taoist priest and said in a low voice, "Daoist, what's going on?"

The red-robed old Taoist priest shook his head and said helplessly: "If you want to refine my partial wealth, there is no shortcut at all, not even one less person." ”

The eyes of the middle-aged man with a bearded beard flashed: "Recently, there are more and more people reporting to the official, and Dongyang Mansion has sent two groups of arresters to investigate this case, and I heard that even the governor of this province has been alarmed. ”

"Can you delay a little bit, not more, a month, how about it?"

The red-robed old Taoist priest shook his head again very decisively: "Not only is it impossible, but it must be completed within three days, otherwise even if you have enough people, your efforts will still be wasted." ”

"The staff doesn't understand Taoism, and you won't understand what the poor Tao says, in short, the poor Tao has tried his best, whether it can be done or not, please decide it yourself. ”

The middle-aged man with the eight-character beard pondered for a long time, and a fierce light gradually surged in his eyes, and he said: "Since this is the case, please ask the Taoist chief to stay for three days, and the old man will arrange it immediately." ”

The red-robed old Taoist nodded indifferently and said, "Please arrange everything by yourself, the poor Dao is only responsible for the practice, and the other poor Dao doesn't know anything, and I don't see anything." ”

When the middle-aged man heard this, he smiled and said, "The Taoist is too careful." The old man retired first, and the Taoist commander only ordered his subordinates to do it if he needed it. ”

With that, he turned and walked away. The middle-aged man named Liu Kunlun is the big shopkeeper of Liu's firm in Yuzhou Province.

He was originally a bandit, but by chance, he befriended a powerful person, and then he began to gradually bleach.

With the indirect help of that magnate, he was even more decisive and ruthless, and in just a few years, he created such a big foundation as Liu's firm.

Liu's firm is definitely one of the largest commercial banks in Dongyang Mansion, the provincial capital, and its business scope involves inns, restaurants, silk villages, money villages, pawnshops, medical halls and other industries.

Although he Liu Kunlun is only a businessman, many dignitaries and dignitaries in the entire Yuzhou Province have to give him three points of courtesy.

It is no exaggeration to say that he Liu Kunlun stomped his feet, and the entire Dongyang Mansion trembled. Even the prefect of Dongyang Mansion is far inferior to him when it comes to prestige.

Liu Kunlun walked all the way, and everywhere he passed, his subordinates greeted him one after another, and he instructed one of the young handymen named Zeng Jing: "Let Steward Tian come to the study to see me quickly." ”

The young handyman named Zeng Jing agreed, and hurriedly trotted to find the housekeeper.

Liu Kunlun went straight to the study and sat down, and a maid made tea for him as soon as possible, he waved his hand and said, "Stand down, it's nothing important, don't bother me." ”

The little maid nodded, and did not forget to close the door of the study when she left.

After a while, a middle-aged man with a thin figure and a very shrewd appearance ran over with a sweaty head.

He knocked on the door first, then walked in, bowed, and said, "What does the master command?"

Liu Kunlun tapped his fingers on the desktop in front of him, made a snapping sound, and said expressionlessly: "There are still three missing, both men and women, but they must be made within three days, this time you go to do it in person, you must be foolproof." ”

Steward Tian was shocked when he heard this: "But the government is ...... now"

Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Liu Kunlun directly interrupted: "The matter is urgent, the stakes are high, and all the costs are worth it." ”

"You have followed me for more than 20 years, I believe in your ability, after the deed is completed, you don't have to continue to stay in the house as a housekeeper, I will personally buy a property for you, and you can enjoy the blessings. ”

Steward Tian gritted his steel teeth, and said with a hideous face: "Dongyang's side is definitely not good, I will go directly to the Three Gorges Mansion next door to arrest people, what does the master think?"

Liu Kunlun was still expressionless: "I said, I believe in your ability, you can just watch it yourself, I just want the result." ”

Steward Tian took a deep breath: "Don't worry, master, I'll do it." ”

When Liu Kunlun heard this, he smiled with satisfaction.

Steward Tian turned around and went out, and as soon as he opened the door, he saw two young girls standing at the door. The girl on the right has purple hair, bright eyes and bright teeth, and extremely gorgeous clothes, which makes people know at a glance that she must be a rich lady and a wealthy daughter.

And the girl in the red dress on the left, who was a few steps back slightly, dressed as a subordinate, was obviously just an ordinary maid.

Liu Kunlun and Steward Tian couldn't help but change their faces when they saw this, Liu Kunlun frowned fiercely, looked at the girl in the purple skirt, and said, "What is Shiyan doing here?"

Liu Shiyan didn't look at Steward Tian, walked straight to Liu Kunlun, pouted, and said dissatisfiedly: "I heard that Daddy married your daughter to a blind man?

Liu Kunlun glanced at Steward Tian, and glanced at the little girl in the red dress standing stupidly at the door out of the corner of his eye.

Steward Tian has followed Liu Kunlun for more than 20 years, and when he saw this, he immediately understood what Liu Kunlun meant, and hurriedly pulled up the little girl in the red skirt and said, "Master is talking to Miss, let's step down." ”

The little girl in the red dress didn't know why, and was pulled straight by Steward Tian to a dry well in the depths of Liu's mansion.

It wasn't until this time that the little girl in the red dress could react, looked at Steward Tian, and said suspiciously, "What did the butler bring me here for?"

Steward Tian smiled evilly, leaned close to her ear and said, "What did you hear just now?"

The little girl in the red dress was even more puzzled when she heard this: "What do you mean? I didn't hear anything." ”

Steward Tian's eyes flashed fiercely, and he grabbed the neck of the little girl, the strength in his hand became bigger and bigger, and he said in a calm tone: "Don't blame me, this is what the master meant, you said that you didn't hear anything, but the master is a thief, he can't rest assured, you can go with peace of mind, remember to vote for a good family in the next life." ”

..................

In Liu's study. Liu Kunlun stretched out his hand and patted his daughter's fragrant shoulder, and said: "Don't worry, good daughter, how can my father be willing to let my heart and soul baby marry a stinky blind man, this is just an expedient measure, and now the entire Lu family has completely surrendered to our Liu family because of this family business, at most two years, the father can secretly annex all the businesses of the entire Lu family, and then the father will choose a real wishful man for your good daughter." ”

Liu Shiyan frowned and said: "Hmph, daddy can't help but think too simply, although he can withdraw from the marriage at that time, his daughter's reputation will be greatly affected, so I don't want to do this." ”

Liu Kunlun smiled, stretched out his hand and rubbed his daughter's hair, and said softly: "Good daughter, you can rest assured, at that time, the father will try to get the Lu family to take the initiative to withdraw from the marriage, and the blind man of the Lu family will also be looking for flowers and willows, and he doesn't know how to love himself, so that he contracted flower willow disease and died young, this matter will never damage the reputation of the good daughter from beginning to end." ”

When Liu Shiyan heard this, she smiled, and suddenly it was like a hundred flowers in full bloom, and she was incomparably beautiful.

..................

Recently, Zeng Jing has been very proud, although he is just an ordinary miscellaneous servant of Liufu, but what's wrong with the miscellaneous servants, the miscellaneous servants also have the spring of miscellaneous servants.

He has already made a private agreement with the little peach sister who is also a slave in the Liu Mansion, and Liu Kunlun, who is the eldest master of the Liu Mansion, nodded.

But he wasn't worried at all, even if Master Liu didn't agree, there was still the Bodhisattva's hearted eldest lady, the eldest lady was so good to Sister Xiao Tao, and she was usually so approachable, as long as she nodded, Master Liu would definitely not say anything.

Whenever he thinks that he is about to be with Xiao Tao's sister forever, or even get married and have children, he can't help but feel a burst of ecstasy, and even wakes up laughing in his dreams many times.

He had secretly decided in his heart that he would love his little peach sister with everything he had.

It's for love, but it's also for love, because Sister Xiao Tao has never disliked him like other Liu Fu slaves.

He himself doesn't know what he can do, and he will meet a simple and kind girl like Sister Peach.
