According to the Kyushu Staff Group, if you want to recruit talents, you need to respect them with fame and fortune, match them with ambitions, and share them with dreams.

Sima Jiu wanted to win over Xu Shiyun and Wei Chigong.

Kesi Massage Plus has not yet reached the level of heart-to-heart with them, and ambitions and dreams cannot be talked about at all.

Now, only fame and fortune remain.

Fame and fortune, of course, are not a problem.

The problem is that Sima Jiu now has no power, no power, and no money, so what can he talk about fame, fortune, and respect.

Still, Sima Jiu believes that in the near future, none of this will be a problem.

Although, he has no money in his hands now.

However, he has medical classics in hand, and he also has some understanding of meridians and acupoints, as if he can cure some diseases and make money.

Moreover, he also has a handwritten letter from Li Jiancheng.

In the letter, Li Jiancheng praised Sima Jiu vigorously, thinking that it would not be a problem to take this letter and go to the Tang State Mansion to withdraw some money.

In addition, Sima Jiu held an innocuous sword in his hand, supplemented by Taoist and medical classics, and it was not too easy to make some money.

No matter how bad it is, he still has half a bottle of Linglong Pill refined by Nalan Lingyun on his body, and it shouldn't be difficult to sell it for one thousand eight hundred and ten taels of silver.

Sima Jiu had no doubt that he would be able to gain a firm foothold in Daxing City.

So, after a brief discussion between Sima Jiu and his little sister Sima Ruohua, they first ordered eight pairs of servants.

The matter of looking for the servant woman, he completely handed it over to Xu Shiyun and Yu Chigong according to the words of the swordsman Jing Ke.

Even, even the furniture in the home is handed over to them.

It's just that until now, Sima Jiu's home has not been decided.

I have to say that the technique of getting close to the prince Dan Yuren taught by Jing Ke is very useful.

Sima Jiu talked more and more casually with Xu Shiyun and Wei Chigong, and the two became more and more affectionate to him.

Wei Chi Gong's martial arts attainments are extraordinary, and Xu Shiyun is a little martial arts idiot.

Along the way, the three of them chatted a lot about martial arts, especially after they saw Sima Jiu's injuryless sword, the three of them chatted more happily.

Before they knew it, they came to a large mansion in Xinchang Fang.

"The owner of this house is surnamed Xiao, and it is said that he is a distant relative of Empress Xiao of the current dynasty. He has an old friend of our boss Zhai, so he handed over the matter of renting out the house to us. Xu Shiyun said to Sima Jiu, who was looking at the house.

"Empress Xiao was born in Jiangnan, and the owner of the house is a distant relative of Empress Xiao, could it be that the owner of this house has a background in the Nanchen royal family?"

Sima Jiu couldn't help but have a question mark in his mind.

This house is half old but not new, it seems to occupy a very wide area, at a glance, half of the street is the courtyard wall of this house, behind the house, is the east city wall of Daxing City,

The doorkeeper in the house seemed to recognize Xu Shiyun and Wei Chigong, and after Wei Chigong whispered a few words to him, he slipped into the door.

In less than half a cup of tea, a sick middle-aged man came out to greet him.

Looking at his face, the middle-aged man is only thirty, but he is already half a head of white hair.

He was very polite to Sima Jiu and Xu Shiyun and Wei Chi Gong, and welcomed a few people into the mansion.

The middle-aged man said: "Contemptible Xiao Wen, the word Xuanlang, now help my master look at this house." ”

"In Xia Sima Jiu, I have seen Brother Xuanlang."

"This mansion was originally a mansion of the former Prince Yong, and later, the new emperor Guang ascended the throne, and after the death of the former Prince Yong, this mansion was vacant, and no one took over." Xiao Wendao.

"The head of the family is Xiao Jing, a doctor from Chaosan, who bought this house from Yousi, which is one of the several mansions of the head of the family. Now, the head of the house has not been here for a long time, so he plans to rent out this mansion. Xiao Wendao.

Sima Jiu smiled slightly.

It turned out that this mansion was Xiao Jing's family property.

Xiao Jing is the brother of Empress Xiao of the current dynasty, the former king of Linhai County of Xiliang, and the noble of Jiangnan.

After the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, he was named the Duke of Lanling County.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Jing is not only the county prince of Lanling, but also the charter prince.

It's just that he, as the brother-in-law of the current emperor, wants to buy this mansion for some reason, and now he wants to rent it out.

Could it be that he was suppressed by the Guanlong aristocracy and ended up renting out the mansion?

Or, Xiao Jing is so good at gambling that he has to rent out the mansion if he loses?

Of course, these are just Sima Jiu's guesses.

After visiting the mansion on one side, Sima Jiu said: "Brother Xuanlang, this mansion is too big, I want to rent the northernmost courtyard." ”

Xiao Wen saw the wind and said: "The son has a good vision, not long ago, a Taoist master said that the feng shui of the compound is good." ”

At this time, Sima Ruohua pulled Sima Jiu to the side and reminded in a soft voice: "Brother, Brother Wei Chi said, this house is the same as several nearby neighborhoods, and there have been a lot of strange things recently, I heard that every moonlit night, many people see strange things. ”

"Even Xiao Jing, the head of the family, seems to be so frightened that his hair turns gray overnight." As he spoke, Sima Ruohua subconsciously looked around, with a faint look of fear on his face.

Sima Jiu comforted: "Little sister, those are all lies, how can there be any weird things, besides, with my brother here, it will be fine." ”

"Oh!" Sima Ruohua pouted.

Xiao Wen saw Sima Jiu turn around, so he said: "Son, the rent is six yuan per month, and the rent starts for one year. ”

"No problem."

The house rented by Sima Jiu is a three-suite house facing north and south, divided into the main courtyard and the east and west branches, and behind the main courtyard, there is also a back garden.

The whole mansion occupies a huge area, in this imperial capital of Daxing City, where every inch of land is valuable, six dollars a month, it is simply the price of cabbage.

Subsequently, Sima Jiu and Xiao Wen determined some things about the rental of the house.

After signing the lease contract, Xiao Wencai left with a sense of relief.

Sima Jiu looked at Xiao Wen's back, and was faintly happy in his heart.

In his previous life, he did not own property in the capital and had not even been there.

In this life, not only did he come to Daxing City, the imperial capital, but also had a property.

Although it was a rented house, he was still excited in his heart.

There are rooms and ...... Forehead...... Car and wife, not yet.

After the matter of the house was settled, Sima Jiu invited Xu Shiyun and Wei Chigong.

Invite them to live with them.

Originally, they were reluctant to live or die.

However, after some discussion with Sima Jiu, they finally chose the West Courtyard as a foothold.

Of course, they are not like Sima Jiu, who has no home, they already have a place to live.

It's just that if you often come to Sima Jiu, you have to have a place to rest.

Yu Chigong was born with divine powers, Xu Shiyun was very smart, and both of them were extraordinary.

However, when they joined forces, they were not Sima Jiu's opponents.

So, after several successive discussions, Sima Jiu seemed to scratch their itch, and they accepted Sima Jiu's invitation to live with them.

Day 2.

"Brother Jiu, we're here." Xu Shiyun and Wei Chigong carried a large bag of fine softness and greeted Sima Jiu.

"Welcome, welcome!" Sima Jiu greeted him with a smile.

Xu Shiyun took out his baggage, took out a large bag of money, and handed it to Sima Jiu.

"This is the exchange of gold leaves, and the remaining 10,000 yuan."

"So fast!" Sima Jiu originally thought that it would take a short time to receive the money.

After all, in the previous life, it was the uncle who owed money.

But all uncles generally have to be supported for a long time.

"Why are you exchanging gold?" Sima Jiu was a little curious.

Xu Shiyun said without reservation: "It's like this......"

After listening to Xu Shixian's words, Sima Jiu finally understood why they wanted to exchange their gold leaves.

It turned out that the new emperor Yang Guang ascended the throne, but induced the Han king to raise troops, I don't know who he listened to, and ordered the construction of the Golden Babel Tower to pray to the gods and bless the prosperity of the empire.

Since then, the empire has levied gold in large quantities.

For a time, gold was extremely sought-after and had no market.

During the reign of the first emperor, the defense of the imperial capital was responsible for the twelve guards of the left and right guards, the left and right military guards, the left and right military guards, the left and right military guards, the left and right leading and left and right palaces, and the left and right leading military offices.

After the new emperor Yang Guang ascended the throne, the imperial capital was changed to 16 guards, including the left and right Yiwei, the left and right cavalry guards, the left and right military guards, the left and right tun guards, the left and right imperial guards, the left and right waiting guards, the left and right reserve mansions, and the left and right prison gate mansions.

Daxing City is the imperial capital, and its underground world is rich in oil and water, which is obvious to all.

The Sixteen Guards are responsible for the defense of the imperial capital, and naturally they also control the underground world of the imperial capital.

Without their acquiescence, it would be impossible for any Jianghu gang to set foot in the underground world of the imperial capital.

Therefore, the Sixteen Guards, who were in charge of the defense of the imperial capital, assigned the task of collecting gold to the Jianghu Gang.

Xia Changtang was also allocated some quotas.

Originally, for gangs that were connected to noble families, it was naturally easy to exchange enough gold.

However, Xia Changtang was a peasant power, and it was difficult to exchange it for sufficient gold.

Therefore, Sima Jiu's golden leaf can be regarded as a big favor for Xia Changtang.

......

For a few days, Sima Jiu accompanied Wei Chigong and Xu Shichang to walk around Xinchangfang, and in their spare time, the three of them practiced at home.

At night, there was nothing unusual in the house.

The only anomaly is that it's a lot more lively than before.

After the servants hired by Sima Jiu moved in, the courtyard of the house was full of life.

On this day, Sima Jiu waited at home for a long time, and he didn't see Wei Chigong and Xu Shiyun.

Suddenly, there was a feeling of boredom.

By chance, he remembered something.

It has been more than two months since the Han King uprising, and counting the days, Yang Su put down the rebellion of the Han King, and it is almost time to triumph.

So, he prepared to go out to Yang Su's mansion to explore.

The location of Yang Su's mansion, Sima Jiu had already found out clearly, it was in Xinghuafang under the imperial city of Xicheng.

Sima Jiu went all the way to the west, wandering down the street.

Today, the sky is very nice and there are many pedestrians.

He walked and walked to a government office, and looked up, but it was Zuotun Wei Mansion.

Just as he was about to leave, he heard the voices of Xu Shiyun and Wei Chigong from Zuotunwei's mansion.

Afterwards, he saw dozens of armor soldiers pushing Xu Shiyun and Wei Chigong out of the gate of Zuotun Guard's Mansion.

The leader was a man who looked like a general, he was full of beard, tall and dressed in bright light armor.

"Come on, come on, General Ben won't bully you two boys, follow me to the school field. The two of you go together, as long as you can defeat General Ben, the source of this gold leaf, General Ben will not ask in detail. ”

This general, Sima Jiu knew.

Sima Jiu once had a relationship with him in Pingyao City.
