I secretly wondered in my heart that Chen Jiu had discovered something, could it be that these people were from Dongchang, could it be that the pause of those big dogs here in the morning aroused their suspicions

"Young master, let's go home," Liu Lianjiang behind me paused, and he didn't pay attention and almost bumped into me

"Don't worry, let's go over there and see where you didn't find out where those people are, sneaky now, let's go over in plain clothes and see what it is"

Liu Lianjiang and I turned around and walked to the back alley, where was the back alley, and I didn't know who the fecal water that Boss Chen poured in the morning, and it had been cleaned up, and several people were squatting not far from where, although they couldn't see the appearance clearly, but they were all big men in the shape of a big man

The two of us came to the side of those big men slowly, and when one of them looked up, I saw that it was an acquaintance, and when the person saw that it was me, he immediately stood up and saluted: "Hello Lord Lan", this person who greeted me was the boss of the people who came to assassinate me last time, nicknamed Shen Gang, who was nicknamed Creeper

"A few people are fine, why are you squatting here," I don't have any good feelings about these people, but I don't have any disgust, so I said politely

Zhang Hongke, Sai Zhang Fei, and Li Xingang, who were squatting on the ground, also stood up together and saluted me when they heard us talking

The creeper hesitated for a moment about my question, and then said: "Lord Lan, a few of us since the last time we offended the adult, we have been 'received' by the lord to spare us, after we left, we inquired about that Uncle Zhang, it is indeed like you said, bullying men and 'women' is not a good thing, we are going to go, ask for our silver, and leave the capital to go home, who knows that he not only did not give us silver, but also deducted our salutes, originally a few of us wanted to settle accounts with him, but he was arrested by the government, and the three of us were left in the capital, which is not a long time, and the silver on our bodies is also." It's over, I want to leave the capital, there's no way, let's do bad things, I really can't do it, the three of us discussed, I think you are a good person, so you come here to find an adult, you ask the adult to reward a bowl of rice."

"If a few people are short of silver, I can give it to you, if you want to stay, follow me, I can also be the person who wants to be with me sincerely, if you are not sincere, you will take the silver and leave, I don't know what the big brothers think" To be honest, I don't have many people available now, although the three of them are not very high in martial arts, they are worse than Lao Liu and the Chen brothers, but they are also good hands, I just asked this way to let them follow me sincerely, and they can't come to me because of lack of silver

"Lord Lan, we really want to follow the adult, your lack of money is just a rhetoric, I hope the adult can take in the three of us, the three of us are not young, we have enough of floating in the rivers and lakes at night, I really want to find a place to settle down," the creeper said sincerely

"Yes, my lord, you can take us in, we will be loyal and fight for the adult," Sai Zhang Fei and the cement loach also said together

"Well, since you really want to follow me, then follow me home."

With three people, we returned to the house and opened the 'door', it was Lao Liu who looked at the creeper following behind me, and the three brothers were stunned and said: "Young master, these are ..... people."

"These brothers will follow me in the future, everyone will be a family in the future, and I will introduce you to you," I pointed to Lao Liu, and said to the creeper, they said that this is our housekeeper, Brother Liu, you can call Lao Liu in the future, or you can call it housekeeper or Brother Liu

The three of them gave Lao Liu another salute, this housekeeper is the biggest in the family besides me, and he is also the confidant of the head of the family, the most revered person, and several of them are understanding people, so they are very polite to Lao Liu

"A few brothers come in, don't be polite when you are together in the future," Lao Liu let a few of us in, and in the living room, I said to Lao Liu: "Brother Liu, you prepare the next room for the three brothers, as well as clothes, bedding and everything, all of which must be completed, and the other person will give ten taels of silver to 'spend' money."

"Thank you, Lord Lan, we don't want silver, as long as we have something to eat and a place to live," the creeper is the boss, so he is the first to speak

"This is not good, a little silver, go out to buy some things for your own use, it is also convenient, we have monthly silver here, Brother Liu will send it to your brothers on a monthly basis, I can't lose everyone, "I want to let them return to their hearts, I have to be willing to give up the capital, just a few taels of silver, or willing to 'spend' talents, it is rare to pick up three people for nothing, how can they not pay the capital."

After arranging the accommodation of the three of them, I returned to the study, and now I am most worried about the cheapness, my father opened the mechanism, and when I arrived in the secret room, Chen Lao Er and a few people looked at me, and I stood up

"Brother Chen, has it improved?"

"Young master, I have already used it once, this time the old man is not a poisonous 'medicine', I don't know what a 'medicine' is, this seems to be useless, the water of the drug beads is clear, and it can't absorb any poison at all," Chen Lao Er shook his head and said helplessly

"Okay, you keep trying, I'll think of another way"

"Brother Lan doesn't know if the people from the East Factory have found us here," Liu Jiahe, who was on the side, also asked me

"It's okay, Chen Jiu, they chased them outside the city, Brother Liu threw the sachet into the river, the Western dog in the East Factory completely lost its target, and now we are safe, this time it is still thanks to Brother Liu, if you hadn't reminded us, we would have gone to the East Factory, when this time it was also a set under the East Factory, that is, let us go to save people, and then follow the sachet to track our nest, but I didn't expect to be broken by us"

"The East Factory is too 'insidious', and the people in it are all perverted guys, it's not easy for me to survive today," Liu Jiahe said with emotion

"Okay, you guys rest, I didn't sleep all night last night, now that the crisis has been resolved, all that remains is to cure the master quickly, I have other things to do, and if you have something, let Second Brother Chen go up and do it."

Out of the secret room, I didn't get sleepy last night, and now that the 'spirit' is okay, I want to go to Xiao Cai's Mansion to have a look, after all, it will be my foundation in the future

I went to the bedroom, changed into official clothes, came to the living room, Lao Liu had already arranged the residence of the creepers, came to the living room, saw me, and asked: "My lord, now that it is all arranged, if you don't go out, go and rest."

"Forget it, I was originally going to Xiao Cai's Mansion, I had other things on the way just now, I didn't go, now I'll go and take a look, Brother Liu, you go and arrange a sedan chair"

Lao Liu went out for a while, and several eunuchs had already come out to pack up the sedan chair, and the three creepers also came to the living room to see that I was going out, and the creepers saluted me and said: "My lord, you go out and take us with you, we can't have a meal at home."

"Okay, then let's go together, Brother Liu has time to go out and buy a few clothes, and come back to change for the three eldest brothers," since they want to follow, let's follow, I am also out from Sanpin, and I am too shabby from the lack of people, like Zhang Juzheng and Gao Gong, who are dozens of followers, and it is not an exaggeration to bring ten or eight."

Sitting in the sedan chair carried by the eunuchs, with Liu Lianjiang and the creeper brothers, we walked all the way to Xiao Cai's mansion, and I also slept groggily in the sedan chair until they arrived at the place and woke me up

After getting off the sedan chair, I looked at Xiao Cai's mansion and saw that the big 'door' had been painted, and the windows and 'doors' of several rooms outside had been replaced with new ones, and the surrounding walls were also painted with white ash, so I nodded with satisfaction and said to Liu Lianjiang: "Look at how it is now, this cleaning is different."

"Yes, my lord, when we first came, we were devastated, but now we have a new look, and this is like a ya'men'."

After entering the big 'gate', there were still a few workers in the yard cleaning up the broken floor tiles on the road, and Liu Yansong, the secretary of the Ministry of Works, saw me coming over and hurriedly ran over to ask for peace: "My lord, I am almost completely repaired now, my lord, you are still satisfied, when will the adult move in, tell me that I will let the workers withdraw in advance."

"Three days later, Liu Shuban is tired, and the official is very satisfied, thank you Lord Shangshu on my behalf."

"Lord Lan is polite, this is what his subordinates should do, if the adults move in in three days, then I will bring someone to wait here for Lord Lan in three days."

"Okay, Liu Shuban, you go and get busy, I'll take a look"

Sent Liu Yansong away, I took four entourages to the inside, and I have to say that this Liu Yansong is a talented worker, not only fast but also of good quality, there are not many officials in the Ming Dynasty like this, it seems that I have to find an opportunity to pull him under my command

Let's see if there is anything to modify, we are out of the mansion, I haven't been to the Guozijian yet, I don't know what's going on over there, now I can move in in three days, hurry up and finish the matter of the Guozijian, and the people should come in

I asked a few eunuchs to carry me to Guozijian, I didn't go to the sacrificial wine, and went directly to our temporary office in Guozijian, this time they were not studying, they were busy looking at things, there were stacks of papers on the table, I entered the house, Liu Xianling saw me get up, greeted me, saluted, I was also very curious, what they were doing, picked up a one, looked at the papers, it turned out to be all candidates, they were 'handed' up, they were grading, I didn't expect their progress was not slow

"My lord, you're here, you see it's full, and there's no place for you to sit, or you can come and sit with me."

I looked at it, and it was true, the 'bed' was full of papers, and a few empty chairs were also full of papers, so I waved my hand and said to Liu Xianling: "Forget it, you still sit down, I'm just coming over to see if you're busy, and you're all done with the exam now."
