There was a horse tied in front of Xiang Bo's house, and there were a few villagers around him who probed their brains to see the excitement, and after the men who were selected came back, there were a lot more idlers in the village to watch the excitement.

The horses were gnawing on the forage in their pockets, Zhu Da pushed the door directly into the yard, and as soon as he entered the yard, he saw Xiang Bo and another person standing there chatting, and the person who came Zhu Da also recognized that it was one of the three salt stack guards who had come to Baibao Village, the knight surnamed Deng.

"You came just in time, Lao Deng came over to deliver an urgent letter, asking us not to go to Zhengjiaji tomorrow, then Mr. Qin will bring someone to our village and accept you as a righteous son here." Xiang Bo spoke, and there was a look of surprise on his face.

Zhu Da was also stunned, and didn't know why there was such a change, the knight surnamed Deng said with a smile: "This is a good thing, give your father and mother a better face, Mr. Qin is a generous person, and the benefits are indispensable." ”

Xiang Bo followed up with a few more instructions, nothing more than to ask Zhu Da to come over to help cook a few dishes to entertain the knight surnamed Deng, Zhu Da also came over to eat or something, and asked him to go home first and inform him, Zhu Da agreed, and returned again.

Zhu Da has been thinking about why Qin Xiucai came on the way home, and he also knows that it is a good thing, which represents a change in attitude, which means that Qin Xiucai is more active and earnest, and if he operates it in Baibao Village, he will invisibly improve the status of his parents, and there will be a lot less trouble in the future, but in less than two days, what contributed to this change?

After hearing Zhu Da's words, the Zhu family and his wife were happy and frightened, they could also think of the benefits of that Xiucai coming here, but they had never experienced such a scene at all, and they didn't know how to deal with it and prepare anything, but fortunately, the knight surnamed Deng made it clear that the Zhu family didn't have to worry too much, it was all handled by that side.

In order to invite Xiang Bolai to eat, the Zhu family has prepared three dishes, and simply let Zhu Da serve two, everything is convenient, he is already familiar with cooking at Xiang Bo's house, and this time he also made a fish soup, there was no wine at home, this time I went to Zheng Jiaji and brought back a jar of twenty catties of soju, which was just usable.

The knight surnamed Deng fell in love with Xiang Bo last time, and this time it was good news, everyone drank wine and ate meat, and chatted happily.

“...... The army is divided into two groups, Xu Sanye took a group to guard Mr. Qin's side, and the big owner himself led a group on the side of Huairen Qianhu, and the knife did not leave his body all day long, just like when he went out of the fortress to engage in battle......"

“...... Guard, guard, and have other work arrangements, that is, an errand sent the day before yesterday, let the horse team and the people below go along the river to find a corpse, saying that it floated down the river, and it was really found, and it was fished up at the ferry, ready to be put away for a few days, and if no one wants it, it will be burned....."

“...... The corpse stinks a little, so I have to transport it back with some lime, and I heard that I have found someone who knows how to test it......"

He was happy to talk about a novel and interesting thing here, but Zhu Da and Xiang Bo knew what this knight surnamed Deng was talking about, the two glanced at each other, and Zhou Qingyun also reacted, and was about to speak but was signaled, so he knew not to say it.

The atmosphere on the table is still the same, telling Uncle and the man some anecdotes about what he saw and heard back then, but Zhu Da showed an expression on his face that seemed to be smiling, and said in his heart that this Qin Xiucai is really good at doing things, and he must be logical and perfect in his words, and find the third brother Xu to reproduce and verify in his martial arts movements, and finally look at this floating corpse.

In front of experienced people and servants, the cause of death of the corpse and what injuries it suffered are clear, and it can even reproduce the battle between Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun at that time, presumably Qin Xiucai got the real answer from this corpse, confirming that this matter was indeed done by Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun, not by Xiang Bo in order to make a name for his apprentice's relatives.

If something goes wrong with the verification, then whether Qin Xiucai will come to Baibao Village, or whether he will accept himself as an apprentice, Zhu Da didn't think too deeply.

So the next day, the knight surnamed Deng left in the morning, and just after lunch, a group of people came to Baibao Village, four knights, two carts, and a dozen men on foot, and the cart had furniture such as tables and chairs, as well as wine, meat, and kitchen utensils.

This team also went straight to Xiang Bo's house, but after Xiang Bo came out, he was very polite and respectful, and the young man who led the team was called "Gao Fourth Master", but this Gao Fourth Master was also very polite to Xiang Bo, which made Xiang Bo very uncomfortable.

Baibao Village has been quiet for so many years, and the convoy has come one after another in the past few days, making the people of the village excited and curious, many people come to look at the excitement, the convoy is not in a hurry to unload, a middle-aged man greeted Xiang Bo, and asked Zhu Da to lead him to Zhu's house to see.

went to Zhu's house, Zhu's parents were cleaning the house, and they were a little at a loss to receive visitors, but the man just looked at it, but he was quite enthusiastic about Zhu Da who came out, and said very clearly: "Your family is smaller, or Xiang's family is spacious and tidy, and the ceremony of recognizing relatives will be placed over there!" ”

Only then did Zhu Da understand what the other party was going to do, he naturally had no objections, said hello to his parents, and went to Xiang's house with this man, and when they arrived at Xiang's house, the man said hello, and everyone began to unload, and the tables and chairs were carried towards the house, and they also found a gap near Xiang's home to set up a pot stove.

This side has just started to get busy, but Li Zongqi hurried over, according to the matter of private salt, Li Zongqi always pretended not to see, polite is no good, you are not polite others do not care much, it is inevitable to hurt the dignity of their own family, I never thought that I would come this time.

But what Zhu Da didn't expect was that the reason why Li Zongqi came over had nothing to do with them, but he was polite with the young "Gao Fourth Master", and invited him home, Zhu Da looked very puzzled, the Gao Fourth Master gave a salute to Li Zongqi, obviously from bottom to top, and the etiquette was thorough but very cold, but Li Ji, the general banner, was very attentive, which was completely reversed, which made people confused.

“...... The fourth master of Gao is the nephew of Gao Baihu, who is a small flag over there, and is actually the housekeeper of the Gao family, and the old Gao Baihu is deep in the left guard of Datong, and even the command of the big man has to give face...... "Xiang Bo came over and explained two sentences, although he said that he was in his own house, but now he has nothing to do.

Zhu Da is no stranger to the "Gao Baihu", this is Xiang Bo's superior "Second Cabinet", but he didn't expect to mention it today, and he also met the other party's nephew.

Over there, Mr. Li and Mr. Gao were polite for a moment, Mr. Gao didn't seem to care much about this flag, although the other party's grade was higher than him, Mr. Li came here after returning in vain, and said a few words to Xiang Bo, such as "Everyone is in a hundred households, what do you have to help each other", "Your share of the field has been taken up, you have to get it back" and so on, and said that you must come tomorrow.

After Li Zongqi left, Xiang Bo explained two sentences, although the general flag is only half a level lower than the hundred households, in fact, the status and power are very different, the Gao family is a big family in the Datong left guard and Datong right guard, and now there are still people to be the commander of the same knowledge, there are a few thousand households and deputy thousand households, and they occupy a prosperous and rich town, rich and powerful, compared to Li Zongqi, who is alone in charge of the poor village, I don't know how much stronger.

Listening to Xiang Bo's explanation, Zhu Da thought of something else, Baibao Village, a hundred households, each of which is lonely, the eldest son inherits the identity of a military household and Tuntian, and the second son and the third son can only go out, as a result, each family has as few children as possible, there is no way to help each other, there is no way to hold a group, but the command level above, the level of a thousand households and even the level of the general flag of a hundred households can let their children blossom and bear fruit, forming an intertwined clan, the top is getting stronger and stronger, and the bottom is getting weaker and weaker.

Thinking about it, Zhu Da laughed dumbly, he was laughing at himself in his heart, thinking about what was the use of these, but self-deprecation is self-deprecation, Zhu Da likes this kind of analysis and thinking more and more, which can make him think about everything clearly, and only after judging the interests and disadvantages can he be safe, and only on this basis can he be self-reliant.

The yard has been cleaned, and the miscellaneous items have been taken back to the warehouse and cellar under the guidance, and the tables and chairs are all set up.

The villagers surrounded more and more, the adults exchanged their heads with each other, the children ran in and out shouting, and the cadres of the convoy were very polite to Zhu Da and the Xiang family, but they were indifferent to the other people in Baibao Village.

Originally, Zhu Da was very uncomfortable with this situation, but he could see the change in the expressions of the villagers, the eyes of the people of Baibao Village looking at themselves and Xiang Bo were almost the same as looking at Li Zongqi, this kind of "fox fake tiger might" awe made Zhu Da feel relieved, and finally did not have to worry about the evil consequences of the villagers' jealousy, he knew that there was a united village, but that kind of village was often a clan fellow villager, in Baibao Village, between people, between families, far from being harmonious and friendly, The "evil" can be seen from the time of the apportionment.

The fourth master Gao was almost busy, so he walked to Xiang Bo's side, nodded to Zhu Da with a smile, and said to Xiang Bo again: "Brother Xiang, if there was anything slacking and reckless in the past, please bear with me, we will be a family in the future, if you need help, just open your mouth, don't see outside." ”

"Where is the fourth master, the old man is taken care of by the second cabinet, and it is too late to be grateful, how can he have other thoughts." No matter how rude and straightforward Xiang Bo is, after all, after so many years, there is still some kung fu on the scene.

The fourth master nodded with a smile, he couldn't see the indifference to Li Zongqi just now, looking at his slightly chubby figure and courteous expression, he couldn't tell that he was a martial artist with the identity of a small banner.

"Brother Xiang, it's inconvenient for you to buy goods here, and you will go to the main number to buy goods in the future, but do you want my family to bring them over?"

"It's a matter of going to the general number to buy goods, and the old man still has to buy from Master Gao."

Hearing Uncle Xiang's answer, the smile on the face of the senior master became even kinder.
