Xu Sanjin obviously knew the true identity of the mute Wu, and it can be seen from the conversation between the two that in the entire Xu Mansion, only Xu Sanjin knew the truth. Rao is like this, and the two have not met for many years.

"The rivers and lakes, the imperial court, have been stormy since ancient times. Although the world is big, it can't escape the words life and death. Ten years ago, I had seen through the world, and the Tang Dynasty was in full swing, so I didn't want to see it. ”

The mute Wu writes on the wall, but he doesn't use pen and ink. Instead, he dipped his fingertips in tea and catapulted onto the wall. As soon as the droplets touched the wall, they immediately dispersed and lined up in a font at great speed. The candlelight in the room was dim, but the words written by the mute Wu seemed to absorb the light of the heavens and stars, and they were extremely bright.

Xu Sanjin asked himself to be well-informed, but the methods of the person in front of him made him feel like he was in a fairyland, and he was indescribably shocked.

"I didn't expect that in ten years, you have such a state of mind, which is even the realm that only saints have. If Xu can let go of the red dust one day, he should practice with Mr. ”

"Xu Yuanwai praised it, this kid was brought into the mansion by you, right?"

"That's true, you and this kid?"

Xu Sanjin glanced at Lu Xin, who was unconscious in bed, and his face was a little weird. He didn't understand why Wu, who had always been withdrawn, suddenly cared so much about this child.

"This son has a rough life, but he is pure and good-natured, and he is one of the few people in this world who understands the way. Although I treated him on a whim, I couldn't bear to see him die at the hands of Xiaoxiao. ”

"Looks like you know who the killer is?"

The mute Wu nodded, but did not say Liu Lezi, the mastermind behind the scenes. Xu Sanjin was so smart, he could guess that it was the poisonous hand of the people in the house behind his back, and his face suddenly became a little ugly. But the dumb Wu didn't break it, and he didn't want to ask who it was.

"I should not meddle in the affairs of the house, you are a person who understands, and you will not insult the reputation of the old man. But this child is by no means an ordinary man, and this Xu Mansion can't trap him. ”

"Sir is really discerning, I can't hide it, I bought him in Fuzhong because he is different. Two months ago, in the town of Creek ......"

In the next half hour, Xu Sanjin told the mute Wu in detail what happened to him in Xiaoxi Town. Especially the appearance of the man in white, even the mute Wu was shocked when he heard it. Although the three words Onmyoji are not a secret in Datang, it is not easy for ordinary people to meet real masters.

After listening to Xu Sanjin's narration, the mute Wu looked at Lu Xin and was silent for a long time. He seems to be making some kind of choice, but has not been able to decide. It wasn't until the candle at the table was about to burn out that he wrote on the wall again.

"He bought and sold Dream Soul Paste privately and violated the rules of the government, what do you want to do?"

Seeing this, Xu Sanjin frowned and groaned for a moment, but suddenly laughed.

"I only forbade the people in the house to smoke the Dream Soul Cream, but I didn't prohibit buying and selling. What is the sin of this child if he does not suck himself? Speaking of which, he is well versed in the way of strange goods at a young age, and it is not simple. It's like us who do business, most of the people who follow the rules and regulations don't achieve anything. If this son can be trained well, he will definitely be the pillar of my Xu Mansion in the future. However, the gentleman also said that he is not an ordinary husband and son, and he has a brother outside, so I don't want to force him to stay. ”

"What do you mean? He is willing to leave only if he has to repay your kindness, and it is not easy to have such a heart at such a young age. ”

"Hahahaha, it doesn't matter. I asked Feng Li to take him, just to let him come out of the West Courtyard by his own ability. Now that Mr. Vested is favored, it shows that I have a good vision. I had already planned for him. ”

Xu Sanjin and the mute Wu chatted until the early hours of the morning before leaving, which made Liu Lezi and the others very panicked, for fear that the mute Wu would say something to his master. However, after Xu Sanjin returned to the Southern Courtyard, he immediately ordered Cao An to be released, and did not mention Lu Xin's injury and the assassin's entry into the mansion, and the matter of Dream Soul Paste was over. Liu Lezi and Feng Li failed to achieve their goal, although they felt that it was a pity. But after getting Lu Xin's twenty-eight taels of silver, he was not suspected, which can be said to be a big profit.

Two days later, Lu Xin woke up from a coma. The mute Wu personally stayed by the bedside to boil medicine, which deeply moved him. However, because of his injury, Lu Xin couldn't get out of bed for the next ten days. In addition to eating and drinking every day, it is to study the "Law and Burial Sutra". Listening to the mute Wu, the content of this scripture was written in some mysterious ancient method, and even he couldn't understand the true meaning. Lu Xin understands it as an ancient cipher, just like the Morse code invented in modern times, which needs to be translated in some way.

"Uncle Wu, did you see the person who killed me?"

"See, martial arts people. With your wisdom, you will be able to guess who is secretly harming you. ”

"Hmph, the reason why I bought and sold Dream Soul Paste in the mansion was smooth sailing was thanks to the care of Steward Liu. It's just that he didn't expect Feng Li to be his person. ”

"The things in the world are complicated, and most of the people who plan are secret. You should take this as a warning, and act in the future, and think a little more. As for this revenge, retribution will be retributed. You're going to have to go, and you don't have to deal with snakes and rats. ”

Uncle Wu's words Xiao Xin remembered, but it was a pity that the twenty-eight taels of silver. Alas, in the end, it was a void after all. ”

At this time, Lu Xin didn't care so much about being assassinated, and he was even more distressed by the twenty-eight taels of silver he lost. Taking a risk, the money that took two months to earn was his hope for leaving the Xu Mansion. Now that it's been easily taken away, I get angry when I think about it. Seeing that he looked like he wanted money and didn't want his life, the dumb Wu shook his head again and again and smiled bitterly, and only told him to take care of his body first.

After three days, Lu Xin's internal injuries finally fully recovered. Early in the morning, he was ready to get out of bed and go to the mute Wu to clean the latrine. But as soon as he finished washing his face, he found Feng Li standing at the door looking at him with pity. Lu Xin suddenly became angry, and wanted to ask Feng Li where his twenty-eight taels of silver went. But when he thought of the words of the mute Wu, he still endured it.

"What are you going to do?"

"Hey, hey, you're just recovering from your internal injuries, and I, as an older brother, naturally have to come and see it. Why, don't you tell me to go in and drink saliva? ”

"If Brother Feng really wants to drink water, why bother to come to me. As long as you open your mouth, don't say it's water, there are a lot of people who deliver wine. Say, don't sell it between you and me. ”

Lu Xin stared at Feng Li's eyes, eager to chew him up and swallow him alive. Feng Li was chilled by him, and immediately sneered and turned around.

"The master told you to see him in the main hall of the South Courtyard, and he went immediately. Don't delay the hour, or I'll let you know the rules. ”

"Sir? Is Xu Yuanwai looking for me? I'm an inferior person, what are you looking for me to do? ”

Lu Xin's face changed slightly, since he entered the Xu Mansion, he had never seen Xu Sanjin again. Moreover, the rules in the house are strict, and Ding and other subordinates can only enter and exit in the west and north courtyards. It's the most lowly rough work, not to mention seeing the master, even the sons and ladies in the house can't see it. Xu Sanjin summoned himself at this time, unless it was for the matter of Dream Soul Cream, there was no reason.

"Alas, I was unlucky. Damn Feng Li, if Uncle Wu hadn't asked me to let you go, Lao Tzu would have let you go to the grave today! ”

Lu Xin scolded in his heart while following Feng Li to the South Courtyard. He can't really hit someone, and even if he does, he can't. But I was depressed in my heart, and if I didn't scold him, I was afraid that he would be suffocated to death. Feng Li also understood that the people behind him must hate him to the core, and he took the money to be a thief, so he didn't say a word during the whole process.

The south courtyard is facing the street, and it is the richest place in the entire Xu Mansion. Xu Sanjin and his family members all live here. As soon as Lu Xin entered the South Courtyard, he smelled all kinds of aromas. There is the smell of flowers, trees, and even the smell of pastries wafting from the room. Although it is summer, the south courtyard is full of garden rockeries, and you can hear the sound of gurgling water with every step you take, and you don't feel the summer heat at all.

Lu Xin followed Feng Li and walked for about twenty minutes before arriving at the main hall. At this time, there was only Xu Sanjin sitting in the huge hall. Looking around, there are a large number of antique calligraphy and paintings in the main hall. All the tables and chairs are carved from the finest huanghuali. Even the top of the screen is painted with gold lacquer, which is extremely luxurious.

Seeing that Lu Xin had arrived, Xu Sanjin slowly put down the teacup in his hand and motioned for him to sit down. Lu Xin couldn't find his head, so he had to sit obediently, and he didn't dare to ask first.

"Since I bought you into the house, this master has never asked you about it. I wanted Feng Li to take you with me, but I didn't expect you to make such a big move in the West Courtyard, and the future is terrifying. ”

"Outside of Xu Yuan, the matter of the dream soul ointment ......"

Lu Xin's face changed suddenly, thinking that he still couldn't escape, and was about to get up to explain, but was stopped by Xu Sanjin.

"Let's not mention the matter of the dream soul ointment for the time being, do you remember how much money did this master spend to make you a slave for a few years when he bought you into the mansion?"

"The staff gave a grand funeral for my grandfather, costing a hundred taels of silver. I sold myself to Xu Mansion and was a slave for ten years. ”

"I remember well, but you want to go, yes or no?"

"Yes!" Lu Xin's face changed slightly, and he stood up suddenly. Now, he naturally doesn't want to hide anything anymore.

"I'm going to Chang'an to look for my brother, but Xu Yuanwai's great kindness has to be repaid. I'll find a way to pay you back the one hundred taels of silver. I hope that when the time comes, Xu Yuanwai will let me go. Great kindness, Lu Xin will be remembered in this life. ”

"Hahahaha, one hundred taels, what do you take back? Rely on dream soul ointment, or rely on stealing and abduction? ”

Xu Sanjin slapped the table suddenly, and with a long smile, his eyes became extremely sharp. Lu Xin was so frightened that his heart trembled, and he knew that he was at a loss, so he hurriedly lowered his head. Fortunately, Xu Sanjin's voice quickly softened again.

"People who buy and sell are honest first and benevolent. Some things can be done, but some money can't be obtained. If you've read the book, you should understand this. The matter of the dream soul anointing, if you are young and ignorant, you will not be held accountable. But this master never loses money when he does business. You can leave the house if you want, but not only do you have to pay back the one hundred taels of silver, but you have to add another one hundred taels. ”
