When Cao Yi and his party returned to the Zhizhou Mansion, it was the afternoon Shenshi, and the two brothers Guo Yu and Sha Kang, who Ximen Ba and he brought over, stood in front of the Zhizhou Mansion, looking at the plaque on it, as well as the stone lion and the drum stone in front of the door, and they also felt a lot of emotion for a while.

Before today, how could they have thought that they would really have the opportunity to enter the mansion of the dignified Zhizhou in the future, before he was the head of the Yangzhou branch of the Cao Gang, he did have to deal with local officials, but at most he only dealt with people of the level of the judge of the transfer department, as for the officials of the level of Yangzhou Zhizhou, in his current opinion, it is still a bit unattainable.

What's more, although their Cao Gang is sitting on the face of Caoyun's serious business, there will still be some gray business, after all, it is also considered to run the rivers and lakes, walking in the north and south of the river, no matter where Cao Yun is transported, on the way, the destination, more or less will deal with some local snakes.

Although not doing business is in line with the concept of making money with harmony, but in some places where the poor mountains and bad waters are exhausted, if you are soft, the convenience will be even worse, so the Cao Gang also has some gangs, or it is more appropriate to call them thugs, such as Ximen North and the Thirteen Taibao belong to this nature. Generally, those who can become the master of the branch hall are either very intelligent and know how to operate and manage very well, or they are like Ximen Ba, who is strong in martial arts, and is very prestigious in the bottom gang, and can say everything and say nothing, and can also come forward to deal with some things that are not on the table for the Cao Gang.

The porter at the door saw Steward Xu and Cao Yi getting off the carriage, and hurriedly bowed in a panic. Before, they first saw Ximen Ba, Guo Yu and Sha Kang coming out of the carriage, and a picture of a country man who had never seen the world looked at the gate of the Zhizhou Mansion, and it was already a posture of wanting to drive people away, but they immediately noticed that the carriage that the other party got down was the carriage in the Zhizhou Mansion, and then they saw Cao Yi and Steward Xu coming down, which was the previous scene.

At the same time, they were secretly shouting in their hearts that they were lucky, fortunately they didn't move fast, otherwise if they drove away the two of them in front of Cao Gongzi and Steward Xu, then they would have achieved their head in this position.

After entering the Zhizhou Mansion, Steward Xu hugged his fist and said goodbye to Cao Yi, after all, the next thing is related to Cao Yi's personal privacy, especially what news related to Mu Feichen and Mu Hong is involved, Steward Xu naturally knows that there are some things that it is better not to know than not to know.

Besides, the ten altars of Qinglian and He Taibai had already been sent to his courtyard before, but he didn't dare to open the altar to drink before the thing was done, and if it wasn't done, he would send it back as it was, but now...... It's time to go back and enjoy a good drink.

After Cao Yi finally thanked Steward Xu again, he took Ximen Ba, Sha Kang and Guo Yu back to his courtyard, and asked Tan Yun to make a cup of tea for the three of them, and asked the guards guarding the door to invite Mu Feichen over. And Ximen Ba didn't have the heart to drink tea at all, and he didn't sit in the place he was given, and kept standing there staring at the door with his eyes, waiting for Mu Feichen to come over.

Cao Yi didn't care about him, he sat there and waited for the doctor to arrive, just now before Steward Xu separated, he had already arranged for someone to ask the doctor to come over to see Cao Yi, although Cao Yi himself felt that it was no big deal, anyway, the bridge of the nose was still positive, so it was not a big problem, it was nothing more than being hit hard, so it was more painful.

However, since it is the kindness of Steward Xu, Cao Yi will not refuse it without knowing it, and it is also good to wait for the doctor to come and take a look, and it can also make Tan Yun and the red sleeves and others behind him relax.

"Brother Cao, Brother Cao, is there the latest news from my father over there in Xicheng?" Before Mu Feichen entered the courtyard, the voice had already come from afar......

Ximen Ba's face showed surprise at this time, that's right, it is indeed the voice of the young gang leader, although I haven't seen it for three or four years, and there are some subtle changes in the voice at this time, but it can still be easily heard that it is the young gang leader. Then in his gaze, Mu Feichen walked in, Ximen Ba saw Mu Feichen's image, nodded secretly, at least he was still very particular about his clothes, and the materials were very good, which showed that the young gang leader and Cao Yi were treated very well.

He knew that the young gang leader was caught up by the people of Jing Zhe's faction on the boat of the Yangtze River, and there was no news since then, so even if he escaped, he should be penniless or there was not much left, but looking at the clothes on the young gang leader and the look on his face now, they were very good, so he was relieved.

However, Mu Feichen came in and saw that there were so many people at the scene, and immediately restrained a little, and immediately saw the blood stains on Cao Yi's body, and exclaimed: "Brother Cao, you are injured!" Which thief hurt you! ”

Ximen Ba, who was originally excited to see the young gang leader, almost choked himself when he heard this.

Cao Yi showed a knowing smile on his face, and said, "Don't worry about me first, look at these three people, do you know each other?" Cao Yi asked Mu Feichen.

"Them?" Mu Feichen turned his head when he heard this, and looked at Ximen Ba, Guo Yu, and Sha Kang from top to bottom, from beginning to end, only had a trace of doubt on Ximen Ba, and then shook his head at Cao Yi and said, "Brother Cao, I don't know, what's wrong?" ”

"Let them say it for themselves." Cao Yi nodded his head at Ximen Ba and responded.

"Young helper! I'm Simon Ba! I used to be the captain of the old gang leader's personal guard, have you forgotten? ”

Mu Feichen looked at Ximen Ba fixedly, his eyes were still full of doubts, and then he reacted and said in surprise: "You are Brother Ximen?" The big brother Simon who was punished by my father for sneaking out? ”

"Yes, yes, yes! It's great to help you remember me! Ximen Bazong was extremely fierce, and his face was full of happy and honest smiles at this time.

"Brother Simon!" Mu Feichen also had an excited expression, before he already felt that he had nothing to rely on except Cao Yi, but now he suddenly saw Ximen Ba, this feeling made him have a feeling from having nothing to still rely on, and this central acid can only be deeply experienced by himself.

"It's good to be safe, it's good to be safe!" Ximen Ba was also excited, his face turned red, and even his eyes were red.

Cao Yi watched them stage a reunion after a long absence, shook his head and smiled, gave up the space in the lobby to a few of them, returned to the study by himself, and informed Tan Yun that if a doctor came over, he could lead him directly to his study.

After a few incense sticks, Mu Feichen finally told Ximen Ba how he was escorted to escape from Xicheng, took a boat into the Yangtze River, and wanted to enter Bianjing through the canal, and was later caught up by the people sent by Jing Zhe to chase and kill, how he was desperately resisted by those father's diehards, and won the opportunity for him to jump into the river to escape, and then was rescued by Liu Baiqing by chance, and then came to the Zhizhou Mansion and told Ximen Ba all these things in detail.

"It turns out that the young gang leader's later experience is so thrilling, but fortunately, the young gang leader is blessed with a great life, he was rescued by Liu Baiqing, and he was brought here, and he was not captured by Jing Zhe's white-eyed wolf's lackey...... Ximen Ba said with emotion.

"By the way, Brother Simon, I haven't seen you since the last time because you connived at me to sneak out, and then I heard that I was punished by my father and sent to other places, and I haven't seen you again, who are you now?" Mu Feichen said embarrassedly, this matter was completely because he was playful at that time, and Brother Ximen was very good to him, so in the end, Brother Ximen was punished.

"Actually, that's not a punishment, it's just a means to help the master, and he transferred me to Yangzhou to be the hall master of this branch in the first place." Ximen Ba touched the back of his head and smiled innocently, not at all like the murderous performance on the mountain of Daming Temple just now.

"Brother Ximen, are you the hall master of the Yangzhou branch?" Mu Feichen asked in surprise.

"Yes, I have been the hall master of the Yangzhou branch for three or four years!" Ximen Ba seems to be still obsessed with the past, looking at the young gang leader who has now grown up, when he was still the captain of the guard by the side of the gang leader, he was only a half-grown boy at that time, and he always wanted to sneak out to play, but he didn't expect that it was already like this now.

Mu Feichen lowered his head slightly at this time and thought about something, then raised his head and asked, "By the way, Brother Ximen, how did you meet Brother Cao?" And what's the matter with the blood stains on his clothes today? Will anyone in Yangzhou dare to do anything to him? ”
