"Old Five, what do you say is going on?"

Yu Yiqin, who was holding his hands behind his back, still had a look of horror on his face, and he had not yet woken up from the news he had received.

Yu Yixuan's fingers were also trembling, he looked at the crooked words he had written, sighed and put the pen back on the inkstone.

"What else could it be...... Our Yu family has a great person. Yu Yixuan looked directly at Yu Yiqin: "Brother, don't you doubt it?" ”

"Fifteen years old...... He was only fifteen years old, where could he have done such a thing, where could he have done such a ...... So watertight? ”

Yu Yiqin's mouth trembled, and when he thought of his cousin who was burned to a scorched pulp, he felt a fear from his bones. He is not afraid of the dead, what he is afraid of is the scheming and decisiveness of making this action silently, and he is afraid of the cold-bloodedness and ruthlessness shown in this slaughter.

"Eleven mouths...... There are eleven mouths in total...... And so he died. Yu Yiqin swallowed his saliva again, and said to Yu Yixuan in a trembling voice: "Old five, you can't, you can't just forget it......

"So what, seamlessly, without any evidence...... There is only one servant in the third room, and there are only four men in total, do you mean that the four of them can make such a big noise last night? Yu Yixuan said quietly: "First set fire to the Song family, and then the fire started in half of the city, every household sent people to fight the fire, and there was a noisy and chaotic situation everywhere, at this time, I touched the fourth room, slaughtered the old and young in the fourth room, and even the servants died several ......."

"Old Five, don't talk about it...... Last night...... If you came to us last night......"

Yu Yixuan leaned back in the Taishi chair and closed his eyes, indeed, in the chaos last night, if the "thief" came to find trouble in the second room, he and Yu Yiqin had already separated from each other, but I was afraid that it would be a dead word.

"It's just too drastic...... Not only killing chickens, but also hacking monkeys. ”

"You can't let him do this, our generation will pay it back, he is like this...... In the next generation, who else can control him? Old Five, you don't want to see the position of patriarch from our second room to the third room! ”

"Then what do you say, it's just that you and my brother suspect it, and there is no evidence!" Yu Yixuan's voice unconsciously became louder, this was what he was most angry about, he obviously guessed that it was Yu Guozhen's bloody case, but there was no evidence, not only did there be no evidence, but the other party also left a trick: "Then Li Jinbao is not here, and this morning the whole town is full of rumors, Li Jinbao saw the wealth and colluded with the Chaohu water bandits to attack the master's house...... Unless we can find Li Jinbao to confront us, what else can we do? ”

Hearing this, Yu Yiqin sat in the Taishi chair and let out a long sigh.

He admires his brother-in-law's scheming the most, and if he can't even do it, there is really nothing he can do.

"You can't look at ...... Watching that kid get away with it like this......"

"There is no evidence, it can only be like this for the time being, Xu Xu Tuzhi, second brother, you don't have to worry, he attacked Sifang, it's not for nothing, Sifang forced him too much."

He was somewhat glad in his heart for his foresight, although he had some ideas behind his back, but he had not offended the nephew of the third room on the front.

At this moment, a servant shouted outside: "Second master, fifth master, Brother Zhen is outside asking to see." ”

"What, he...... He's coming! Yu Yiqin stood up abruptly, a little panicked.

"What's the panic, second brother, this is broad daylight, it's my house!" Yu Yixuan still had three points of composure as a scholar, he first stabilized Yu Yiqin, and then said outside: "Let him in." ”

Yu Guozhen walked in with a worried face, and saluted after seeing the two uncles.

"Little Five, what are you doing here?" Yu Yiqin asked a little unceremoniously.

"The matter of the fourth room, the little nephew has already heard about it, although he broke off with the fourth room yesterday, but with this kind of thing, no matter how you say it, you can't write two Yu characters in one stroke, so let's see if there is anything I can help." Yu Guozhen scolded himself for being brazen in his heart while saying, and at the same time he was quite proud, he finally learned to open his eyes and say nonsense, which is a necessary skill for a politician, if he can turn the nonsense he said with his eyes open into truth, then he can rise to the rank of politician.

"Help......" Yu Yiqin's forehead jumped suddenly.

But before he could say all, Yu Yixuan next to him coughed: "Now that your second uncle and I are six gods and no masters, I don't know how to deal with this matter, I just sent someone to send a letter to your sixth uncle...... Xiao Wu, you are the smartest among the juniors, what do you say should be done at this time? ”

Yu Guozhen said without hesitation: "Tighten your guard." ”

"What?"

"When I came, I heard rumors that the Chaohu water thieves did it, whether it was true or not, it is always good that the murderer may come back in the dark. Eleven people were killed in the fourth room...... The murderer must be a murderer who does not blink an eye, if we don't strengthen our vigilance, we are afraid that he will eat the marrow and know the taste, and then come to our other three rooms! ”

Yu Yiqin and Yu Yixuan glanced at each other, this kid is only fifteen years old, if he did it, but he is still analyzing it so calmly, then it must be a great evildoer!

"Little Wu, just say it, what are you going to do." Yu Yixuan said in a deep voice.

"Sanfang lives alone outside the town, so I am going to build up the yard, and then ask the two uncles to send a dozen servants to my place to patrol at night, so as not to be taken advantage of by thieves." Yu Guozhen said.

The matter of the big family accumulating a slave is quite common at this time, and this is the case with the Fang clan in Tongcheng, when Fang Yizhi went out, the slave even rode a horse across the sword. The Yu family is not a big family, but it is also a small family, and the thirty or forty healthy servants in the clan can still be picked out.

"It's not okay, there are a few families living in the four-room courtyard, and as a result, a few of them died...... Yu Yiqin sneered: "That thief is ruthless!" ”

"That's why I have to practice, the second uncle and the fifth uncle, I will train them after assigning people to me." Yu Guozhen said.

After saying this, Yu Yiqin almost went crazy, they suspected that Yu Guozhen was the murderer, and if he handed over the healthy servants in the family to him again, wouldn't it be equivalent to sending his own neck to his knife.

"No! No way! Yu Yiqin shouted hurriedly.

"It's really not good, first, you're outside the town, and everyone goes to you, and the town can't take care of it, second, you're still young, and the servants may not really want to listen to you, and third, it's not that the fifth uncle looks down on you, and it's not something you can do to practice the family."

Yu Yixuan said, his eyes were shining, he seemed to have an idea, looking at him like this, Yu Yiqin shut his mouth, although he was nominally the patriarch, but he knew in his heart that the fifth brother who was famous was the real pillar of this family.

"But ......"

"But Xiao Wu, your thoughts have reminded me, indeed, we have to practice the family, it's better to do this, you move back to the town, I will come to practice the family, I have read a lot of military books."

Yu Guozhen was stunned when he heard this, and then shook his head: "Fifth uncle said this, the little nephew is not convinced, although the little nephew doesn't like to read the book of sages, but he has also read miscellaneous books...... It's better for the little nephew to practice. ”

The two of them argued for a while, although both sides were smiling, but Yu Yiqin felt a chill behind his back, as if there was an invisible sword shadow rolling around in the study. In the end, the two sides declined, Yu Guozhen did not move back to the town, and the servants of the Yu family were not handed over to him, but he was allowed to recruit a group of people by himself, which was regarded as the Yu family's family, but all the expenses were solved by himself.

When Yu Guozhen left, Yu Yiqin asked: "Old Five, what do you mean by this, do you really want to practice the family?" ”

"Second brother, Guozhen's words really reminded me, if it is not peaceful today, there are water bandits in Chaohu Lake, there are mountain thieves in Huo Mountain, and the thieves in Shaanxi and Jin are even more rampant.

Speaking of later, Yu Yixuan's voice was lowered, and Yu Yiqin nodded again and again, feeling that the fifth brother deserved to be famous, and he saw the problem more thoroughly than himself. However, he still had a puzzle: "Old Five, in that case, why did you let that kid also recruit people?" If we really train him to train a team of men and horses to calculate us, then what should we do? ”

"Second brother, you know the third room home best, how much is it in addition to the five hundred taels of silver that I took from the pawnshop yesterday? At the current price of rice, how many people can be supported by five hundred taels of silver? Even if the matter of the fourth room was done by him, he also got a vote from the fourth room, but does he dare to use it now? As soon as he shows his feet, I will send a post to the yamen, and all problems will be solved. Yu Yixuan smiled and said: "Besides, I'm a lifter anyway, if the practitioner is not as good as him, then there is no need to fight with him." ”

Yu Yiqin suddenly felt that it made sense, and he gritted his teeth: "In this case, there is no need to worry about money and food, I will arrange it!" ”

"There are still manpower, the second brother will allocate me thirty young and strong domestic servants......"

When they were discussing, Yu Guozhen had already left Xiang'an Town, Gao Bufat followed him, and when he saw that there was no one around, Gao Bufat said in a low voice: "Little official, the town has already said that Li Jinbao colluded with the water bandits!" ”

This was what Yu Guozhen expected, and he nodded: "Erzhu did a good job...... You ask Erzhu to say to his little brothers, we recruit nursing homes, as long as they are hard-working and willing to obey orders, they can come, each person has three meals enough, and in addition, they will also be given five dollars of silver every month to support the family! ”

This treatment can be regarded as generous, whether it is fat or not, the children of poor families in the town are willing to come here to eat. He said with some concern: "Little official, this is too expensive, right?" That money is still very hot and can't be moved. ”

"Don't worry, soon I will be able to spend whatever I want." Yu Guozhen laughed.

He turned over and mounted his mule, and walked towards his row of houses, his heart full of joy, and the crops on both sides of the road seemed to him to become two rows of disciplined soldiers.

With soldiers, in this troubled world, there is everything!
