After the two brothers finished speaking, they hugged Zong Xiu and threw the burden they were carrying into the grass next to them.

"The president awaits our good news, which is not far from here, and will not delay returning before dawn."

"Okay, when you come back, you can go directly to the village to find Le Zhengyang, and just do what I told you before."

After Zong Xiu finished explaining, he walked downstream along the riverside.

When I passed by the door of the house, I saw that although the lantern at the door was on, there was no sound in the yard, and I thought that Yi Chengqing might be sleeping, so I didn't go home and went straight to the village.

The factory in Jiangjia Village is in three shifts, day and night, and the gate at the entrance of the village is guarded all day.

When Zong Xiu arrived, the sky was almost dawn, and he had walked more than 20 miles all the way, and his legs were weak, and when he saw that the young man in the village was still patrolling with a stick, he nodded with satisfaction: Yes, I didn't doze off at all.

Those people were also very surprised to see Zong Xiu.

"The president is up so early today?"

"Morning fart, I haven't slept all night." Zong Xiu didn't leave when he arrived at the entrance of the village, pointed to the two young men and said, "You go to the cafeteria to get me something to eat, you go and call Jiang Chen for me." ”

"Hehe, what's going on, President? I've never seen you eat so diligently in the past. ”

A few young men laughed, but their actions were very sloppy, some people moved stools, some people brought tables, and two of them went to cook and one to call Jiang Chen.

Waiting for the hot meal to come, Zong Xiu sat directly at the village gate and munched on it.

He's hungry!

First walked from the house of the head of the household to Yi Feng Pavilion, and then from Yi Feng Pavilion to the village, usually it takes half an hour to take the carriage, but tonight he walked down hard.

More than 20 miles away, if you don't go hungry, you will see hell.

A bowl of minced meat porridge, two meat buns were eaten by Zong Xiu in a few bites, and the strong village next to him was stunned.

After Zong Xiu finished eating, the young man who had just eaten couldn't help asking, "President, why don't I give you some more?" ”

"No need, just have a full breakfast."

Zong Xiu got up as he spoke, because he had already seen Jiang Chen coming.

Jiang Chen, who had rushed all the way, had messy hair, the horizontal knife that he usually tied to his waist was also held in his hand, and his clothes were also very bad, and he looked like he had just gotten up.

As soon as the sky was bright, Jiang Chen was dreaming of his wife and children on the hot kang, and he was woken up by the young man who guarded the village, saying that the president was waiting for him at the gate of the village.

Jiang Chen, who was disturbed by his dreams, thought that a few juniors were joking and bluffed him, and he didn't plan to come.

But the people who called him were in a hurry, and then they rushed to come.

Before the people arrived, they saw Zong Xiu sitting at the entrance of the village eating breakfast from afar, and couldn't help but wonder: Strange, what's wrong with the president? People who don't sleep until three poles on weekdays don't get up at three o'clock in the day, why do they come so early?

"What did the president call me?"

Jiang Chen ran to Zong Xiu and asked nervously.

"Naturally, there is something for you to do, come with me."

Zong Xiu didn't enter the village either, and led Jiang Chen upstream.

The two of them walked for a while, and seeing that they were about to arrive at the Qujiang courtyard, Zong Xiucai said, "You go find someone and help me bring him a message." ”

"Who is the president looking for?" Jiang Chen asked.

Zong Xiu grinned: "Cui Xianwen's guard, I don't know if you've seen it." ”

"This ......"

Jiang Chen really hadn't seen Cui Xianwen's guards, but he knew that his own president and Cui Xianwen didn't deal with each other, so when he heard that Zong Xiu was looking for Cui Xianwen's guards, he subconsciously felt that it was not a good thing.

"I wonder what the president wants to bring?"

Zong Xiu laughed: "Don't worry, listen to me and you." The guard has a crossed scar on his forehead, don't look for it openly, just wait outside the palace, and when Cui Xianwen goes to court, just meet him in private. ”

After speaking, Zong Xiu instructed again: "Remember, when you meet him, you must not be discovered." If there are other people around him, don't be reckless. ”

"Forehead ......"

Jiang Chen was stunned for a moment, then heard Zong Xiu say again: "That guard is different from ordinary guards, it is a dead soldier domesticated by the Cui family, so it may not be easy to communicate, you can leave directly after you finish speaking." ”

Jiang Chen asked, "Then what will I say to him?" ”

Zong Xiu pursed his lips and smiled: "Ask him if he has watched "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" and what he thinks of Taoyuan's Three Knots." It's interesting to ask him again if he lives like a dog, driven by people all day long, and even if his brother died in front of him from childhood to adulthood, he can't take revenge, and he has to be scolded by his master. ”

"That's it?"

"That's it!"

Zong Xiu grinned after speaking: "Don't look at this as scolding him, if he still has love in his heart, he will understand the meaning." Haha, go, go. ”

Jiang Chen: "......"

Zong Xiu urged Jiang Chen to leave quickly, after all, it was about to be the time of the early dynasty.

Cui Xianwen, as a regular servant, although he was severely punished by Lao Li for changing pen, ink, paper and inkstone, he did not get off his official position, and he will definitely go to the court.

And some time ago, when he was invited by Li Daozong to visit Mipi Lake, Zong Xiu saw with his own eyes that the scar-faced guards beside Cui Xianwen were full of murderous intent because of the death of the other two guards. Although it was only a flash, it was indeed a killing intent.

Zong Xiu is convinced of one thing: even the dead who have been domesticated since childhood are human beings and have feelings. No matter how loyal a guard is, once he has been mistreated by his master for a long time, he will accumulate resentment in his heart.

Resentment accumulates and will explode.

If Zong Xiu asked Jiang Chen to bring it, it was just a flame that ignited the fire of the prairie fire, as for what this fire would eventually burn into, it would depend on the will of heaven.

After seeing Jiang Chen leave, Zong Xiu walked to the door again.

The eastern sky was already white, and Yi was still sleeping, Zong Xiu didn't knock on the door, sat at the door, looked at the endless Qujiang River, and his mind was turning.

It's been almost four months!

More than three months have passed since he crossed over to the present. He also went from an arithmetic assistant under the nine pins, step by step to Honglu Siqing, and even the Tianxia Sect, and there are 10,000 people under his name, just like a dream.

However, he found that his heart was slowly changing.

Become strange, change is ruthless.

Can profit really change everything?

Zong Xiu leaned against the yellowed wooden door, staring at the rushing Qujiang River, wondering whether this change was good or bad......

Until the courtyard sounded the voice of Yi Yi Jiao: "Golden Tiger, you are running around again, come back quickly." ”

Zong Xiu got up and patted on the door.

"Open the door, I'm back."

"Childe is back?"

Yi Yi's voice was full of joy, and he quickly ran to the door to open the door, and when he saw Zong Xiu's sleepy face, he couldn't help asking, "Childe, didn't you sleep all night?" ”

"Well, I'm tired of being so busy that I just have free time. Girl, I'll go catch up on sleep, don't call me to eat. ”

After Zong Xiu finished speaking, he went back to the room directly, took off his shoes and went to bed, pulled the quilt over his head and fell asleep.

In the courtyard, there was also a voice of reprimanding in a low voice: "Don't make trouble, Jinhu, the son is tired, don't make a noise about it, I'll take you to the village to play." ”

Zong Xiu was really tired, he slept until the evening, and when he woke up, he saw that there was no one at home, and when he went out to fetch water and wash, he saw a strip on the stone table.

Juanjuan Xiu is easy to love.

"Childe, the golden tiger is too noisy, I took it to the village to play, and when you wake up, you will also come to the village to eat something, don't hurt your body."

"Hehe, this girl knows how to hurt people."

Zong Xiu washed his face, raised his legs and walked to the village.

When I arrived at Jiangjia Village, I saw Yi Yuanqing leading a group of children to play with the golden tiger on the side of the Keju field.

"Childe ......"

Yi Qingqing saw Zong Xiu coming, his face was overjoyed, and he picked up the dirty golden tiger and ran over.

The children are so happy that they follow behind with a hula la.

"Sister girl, you can let Jinhu play with us for a while."

"Sister girl, don't take the golden tiger away."

"Sister Girl......"

The golden tiger also wanted to go down with his teeth and claws, but he was carried by Yi and couldn't get off the ground.

Yi Chengqing was more like a little girl who took care of a toy, and hummed: "No, no, I've been playing all day today, and Jin Hu must be tired." ”

The corners of Zong Xiu's mouth sketched a smile, and shouted: "Don't make trouble, children, it's not early this day, let the girl and Jin Hu rest and rest, and play with you next time." ”

"President, you mean what you say."

"President, can you let Sister Girl bring the Golden Tiger over again tomorrow?"

Zong Xiu opened his mouth, and a group of children greeted each other, and reluctantly watched the golden tiger in Yi Tian's feelings scatter.

"Girl, did you teach the little guy anything today?"

Zong Xiu touched the dusty fur of the golden tiger, and Yi smiled sweetly: "When it came to the village, it patronized and went crazy with the children, and it didn't bother to learn anything." ”

"Haha, don't rush, take your time."

After Zong Xiu finished speaking, he asked again: "By the way, is someone looking for me today?" ”

Yi said affectionately: "When I went back at noon, I saw a few servants from Jingzhao Mansion standing at the door, and my son was still sleeping at the time, so I led them to the village. ”

"The errand of the Jingzhao Mansion? Isn't the liquidated damages of several paper merchants recovered? ”

Zong Xiu remembers clearly that a few paper merchants who sat on the ground and raised prices still owed him money.

Yi Qingqing grinned and said: "There is not much money, as long as there are more than 70,000 yuan, the servants ask us whether to take people or use other offsets." I thought that my son would also make paper, so I took it upon myself to ask them to use the tools in the paper merchant's workshop to settle the bill. It saved Gongzi An a lot of things. ”

"Well, that's good. Anyway, we're not short of money right now. ”

Zong Xiu nodded, very satisfied with the result of Yi Yuanqing's treatment. After all, if he were to change it, he would also think about using those paper merchants to offset the bills, and he would have to buy it sooner or later anyway.

While he was talking, Jiang Jian led a few people to run over quickly.

"President, President......"

Before anyone arrived, the voice shouted first.

Jiang Jian ran over with a snort: "President, you are awake." In the morning, the girl said that you were making up for sleep, and that we would not disturb you, but there were still a lot of things waiting for you to decide, and they were all about to die of old age. ”

"What's wrong with Deputy Hall Master Jiang?" Zong Xiu asked with a smile.

Jiang Lian pointed back, pointing at the people who came with him.

"These people came early in the morning, saying that they were here to enclose land for us and wanted to pay for it. He also said that he would enclose the wasteland on both sides of the river. President, there are so many wastelands in one circle, and such a big thing must wait for you to decide! ”
