After getting the disposal method of the big housekeeper, Zao Wou-Ki resignedly said yes, so he asked for some more advice, and was ready to turn around and go back to arrange.

As a result, before he could walk out of the door, he saw an outside steward, who came in in a hurry, and reported to the chief butler: "The chief butler, just now we have returned a few nephews from outside our Zhuangzi, according to their report, in the col 20 miles outside our Zhuangzi, there are 3,000 officers and soldiers hidden, I don't know what its purpose is, and please let the chief steward know the decision."

Hearing this information, Zao Wou-Ki, who had just stepped out of the threshold with his front foot, trembled and retracted his foot, and then the chief butler's expression also changed, and he glanced at Zao Wou-ki: "Didn't you say that guy only brought a hundred people?" How is this 3000? ”

Zhao Zhiji immediately finalized his heel: "Lu Peng is indeed a hundred centaurs, and his subordinates are not old and dizzy, and they can still see clearly, but if there are 3,000 centaurs hiding behind him, then this matter may be really serious." ”

The chief butler pondered for a moment and nodded, "It seems that this Lu Peng wants to open our fort gate, and then let his brigade rush in, and really kill us, if this is really the case, it means that this stunned young Lu Peng really obeyed Liu Yan's old dog's warrant, and it will be unfavorable to our Zhao family." ”

pondered for a moment, raised his head, and instructed the messenger standing outside the door: "You go and inform the housekeeper in charge of purchasing, let him run over, I have something to say." ”

The little guy agreed, and ran out, and after a while, the housekeeper in charge of purchasing stumbled in: "Say hello to the big housekeeper, I don't know what the housekeeper has to tell his subordinates." ”

The chief housekeeper asked in a deep voice: "What news have you brought back from the people who have been shopping in Youzhou in the past few days?" What's wrong with seeing Youzhou? ”

The housekeeper immediately replied: "I just came back when I wrote today, but I didn't buy anything, according to them, the four gates of Youzhou City were suddenly closed, and no one was allowed to enter or leave for whatever reason, not even the officials. ”

The chief butler's expression changed at this time.

Before he could ask, the purchasing steward reported again: "There is also a caravan back to report, saying that yesterday, the Black Mountain Village suddenly burst into flames and smoke, and it seems that someone broke it." ”

Hearing this, the chief butler Huo Ran stood up, and the chief butler, who had always been calm and capable, and did not be surprised, said to Zhao Wouji with a pale face: "You immediately rectify the family armament and the long-term tenants to go to the city, and issue them knives and guns, no matter how dark or white it is, you must strictly guard against it to prevent accidents. ”

Zhao Zhiji also knew that the matter was serious, so he didn't talk nonsense, directly took the sign handed over by the big butler, and hurriedly went out to arrange the guards.

The chief butler then said to the purchasing steward, "You hurry up and follow me to see the patriarch." After speaking, he strode directly towards the patriarch's courtyard.

The patriarch of the Zhao family is a white and chubby old man, why did he deliberately say that he was white and chubby, because this guy is indeed too fat, sitting there, it is simply a mountain of meat, traveling, even if it is in his own study to the living room of the banquet Mingtang, he must be carried by more than a dozen slaves, otherwise his legs will not be able to support his weight at all.

This kind of Roshan, almost all the heads of clans are like this, because in this era, they really have nothing to do, the only thing they do is to feast and drink, fight for richness.

Fortunately, at this time, it is not the time for a banquet, but there is already a faint sound of silk and bamboo in the Mingtang in front of him, and the next banquet is about to begin.

Zhao Shantang, the head of the Zhao family, couldn't help but sigh, to be honest, he already hated the banquet, what he could eat, and what he could eat, he had already eaten, he was tired of eating, he could watch the songs and dances, he had seen it, he was tired of it, and now on the dining table of these families, there are only two kinds, one can be eaten, and the other is being pondered how to cook and what can be eaten.

But the fat man is not an idiot, he is not a shrewd person and he can't be the head of a clan, the fat is not fat and has a bad brain, at this time he was preparing for the next feast, and suddenly felt that there seemed to be some chaos outside the gate in the distance, so he asked the servant who was standing in the hall in a regular manner: "Come and ask, why is it suddenly chaotic outside." ”

So, a shrewd servant immediately walked out of the hall, directly out of the house to ask, just out of the small courtyard of the house, met the hurried butler, this little guy hurriedly knelt down to salute: "The big butler came just in time, the patriarch was trying to ask why there was a sudden chaos outside." ”

The chief butler snorted, and without even taking a look at the slave, he hurried into the house, and at this time, the purchasing housekeeper stopped outside the house, he was not qualified to enter the house, unless the patriarch called him.

The rules of the big family are sometimes stricter than the emperor's family, the emperor sometimes wants to do something out of the ordinary, and those upright ministers look at the imperial history of fame and reputation, and the family doesn't even have this rule, what is really that this acre and three points of land is their own sky, and they are the sky.

The chief butler came to the door of the hall of the fine house, bowed down and saluted the hall: "The old slave Zhao Qianxi asks to see the master." ”

At this time, the voice of the patriarch came from the hall: "Come in, don't mother-in-law." ”

Zhao Qianxi thanked him, then took off his shoes outside the door, bowed his head and walked forward, came to the front of the patriarch, knelt down and kowtowed.

The patriarch frowned and asked in a slow voice, "I just heard a gong outside the courtyard, what is the situation?" ”

Zhao Qianxi learned everything about Lu Peng, and told his own judgment and his own arrangements.

Patriarch Zhao Shantang pondered for a moment, and then asked slowly, "Is there any other news outside?" ”

Zhao Qianxi hurriedly replied: "I will bring the housekeeper of the purchase, just outside the courtyard, he is more well-informed, does the master ask him?" ”

Zhao Shantang nodded: "Let him in." ”
