Jiang Yanmu of the Soldiers and Horses Division of Nancheng on this side took Xu Liang back, and Xu Jin also entered his own gate triumphantly with two little guys. All the way into the second gate, he didn't have time to tell the mother-in-law guarding the door behind him to quickly lock the door, he suddenly felt that his eyes lit up, and when he squinted his eyes and finally got used to this light and dark switch, he found that the four lanterns were surrounded by no one else, it was his father and brother. Seeing that Master Xu and Xu Dong were all gloomy, he hurriedly took the hand behind his back and made a gesture to the two little guys outside the door, and immediately greeted him with a smiling face.

"Dad, big brother, you haven't slept in the middle of the night?"

"With such a big movement, you think I'm deaf and blind?" Master Xu snorted coldly, and then said lightly, "Come in, I have something to ask you!" ”

Xu Jin saw that Master Xu turned around and left, and the eldest brother Xu Dong on the side hurriedly went up to help people, but he didn't even have the time to greet him, he was a little gloomy in his heart, and followed him with a light snort. He was just busy thinking about how to deal with his father and brother in his heart, and he didn't notice it at all, as the door closed, in the outer courtyard across the door, the two personal servants who had just diligently sent him in turned around and were gagged out.

It wasn't until he entered Master Xu's study that Xu Jin saw his Lao Tzu sitting behind the desk and didn't say a word, just looking at him coldly, he finally couldn't help it, and immediately said angrily: "Dad, what are you going to say in the middle of the night?" Don't stare at me like that, I'm a coward! ”

"Cowardly? How dare you do such a thing, cowardly? Although he was full of anger, Master Xu stood up with his hands on the desk, and his voice was extremely low, "Do you know that this is Jinling, this is Nanjing!" Even if this is not the capital, after all, it is the land of Grandpa Longxing, and a little trivial thing can make a storm in the city, not to mention that our Taiping is close to the imperial city and so many yamen! ”

"What did I do?" Although Xu Jin's heart jumped, he still had an indifferent posture on his face, "I just asked a few friends out for a drink, but as soon as I came back, I found that the house I bought was burned." Dad, don't you think it's not worth it for me to spend money on this house? Now that the house has burned, of course, this loss of money falls on that Xu Liang, he has no money and a seventh brother, so he won't let your father do a loss-making business! ”

"How dare you say it!"

Master Xu roared in a low voice, seeing that Xu Jin was a dead pig who was not afraid of boiling water, he was so angry that his lungs exploded, and he picked up an inkstone to smash, but Xu Dong next to him hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, and helped him sit down. When he looked up at Xu Jin again, his face was full of disappointment and anger that he couldn't hide.

"If you don't want people to know, you can't do it unless you do! Last time, you took someone over there to ask for money for the house with great fanfare, and today there was just a fire there, and you happened to hang out there, in case some gossip came out of the street and made trouble in the ears of those big guys, what was the end? Use your brain to do things, if you only know how strong and ruthless, what's the difference between you and that loser! ”

Master Xu suddenly mentioned Xu Xun, Xu Jin suddenly couldn't hold back the anger in his heart, and suddenly became angry: "It's that loser again, what is he, a kid with no father and no mother, and he can't even say if it's the Xu family's bloodline, how can he compare to me!" Dad, you know all day long what to talk about what to be cautious, what to be careful, you need to know that the amount is small, non-gentleman, non-poisonous, not husband! Besides, it wasn't my idea either, it was Mr. Luo who asked me to do it! ”

was repeatedly confronted by his young son, and Master Xu was originally so angry that he fainted, but when Mr. Luo's three words came out, his iron-blue face changed suddenly. Holding Xu Dong's hand, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva to calm his mind, and then asked word by word: "Is it really Mr. Luo?" ”

"If you don't believe it, Dad, you can go and verify it yourself!" Xu Jin snorted from his nose, then turned his head and walked out, and only then did he leave another sentence when he reached the door, "You think I'm full of food and support, and I take such a big risk to go to someone's house!" ”

"You ......" Master Xu saw the door curtain flying high and falling heavily, and he was angry for a while, and he coughed violently all of a sudden. It wasn't until Xu Dong waited for a few sips of hot tea and was relieved that he finally came to his senses, but that breath was still held in his heart. After a long time, he slammed the handrail hard, and said hatefully, "This stinky boy, he just wants to me off to death, and he dares to say that kind of thing so casually!" ”

"Dad, don't worry, outside, except for the old mute, no one else is there." Xu Dong bent down beside Master Xu, and then said in a low voice, "Look at the two little guys who followed the third brother out today, ......?"

"Send it to Zhuangzi first, just say that there is a shortage of people there, and wait until the matter settles down." Master Xu's eyes flashed with a cruel light, "If things change, then I can't take care of them!" ”

"Yes."

"By the way, do you think the third child will be a mouthful? In case it was just him making his own opinion, but it was pushed on Mr. Luo's head......"

"Didn't Dad already send someone to contact him? When the time comes, there will always be a letter to bring back. If it was really Mr. Luo's idea, then he had to continue on the path of the third brother. Speaking of this, Xu Dong was very disapproving, secretly thinking that his straw bale brother was stunned and stuffed a big handle directly into someone else's hand, but when he said it, he changed his words, "But I really can't figure it out, why does Mr. Luo need to move Xu Liang's broken yard, even if Lao Qi is a good person, he will never go bankrupt to save an outsider." ”

"God knows!"

Master Xu also still had an evil fire in his belly, and he commanded with hatred and hatred: "No matter, step up and contact the few people in charge of the three rooms and four rooms, see how this case goes, and close the matter as soon as possible." If he went bankrupt to save outsiders, he didn't need to find an excuse, and just drove him out clean; If he doesn't let it go, just follow your mother's idea, as long as it is proven that he is not of the Xu bloodline. The second child has not shown up for so many years, and the loser just hugged the sixth child's thigh, and he can't pass this level! Early tomorrow morning, you go to see your sixth uncle and send him the post of the clan conference! ”

As he spoke, there was a soft knock on the door. Xu Dong glanced at his father, and had to answer the door in person. As soon as the door opened, he saw a steward in the front yard following behind the hunched old mute. As soon as he saw him, the steward hurriedly stepped forward in three or two steps to salute.

"Eldest young master, the people from the Nancheng Terracotta Division have brought Xu Liang back."

"Got it."

"And ......" The little guy saw that Xu Dong's face was a little impatient, and hesitated for a long time, and then said cautiously, "When fighting the fire tonight, the seventh young master promised a lot of rewards from the neighbors, which attracted everyone to fight the fire." Shao Ye of the ninth room shouted a few words, but who knew that he immediately took out the money, and he suppressed the discussion. Just now, the Nancheng Terracotta Division delayed a lot of time to escort Xu Liang back, and it is very likely that he also made the money. ”

"Well, you inquired carefully this time, I returned to the master, and I can't thank you for it."

Xu Dong nodded and sent the person away, and then closed the door of the study again. Opened the curtain from the outside and returned to the inner room, as soon as he told Master Xu about the matter, while Master Xu was considering, he whispered: "Looking at Xu Xun's style, he will not leave Xu Liang alone." According to the law, if there is a fire, it will be punished with 40 lashes, and if the houses of the government and people are burned, it will be punished with 50 lashes. I heard that someone else's house was burned over there, and Xu Liang couldn't escape. Although it is a small bamboo board and not a large bamboo board, as long as it is dotted, it can be stored as much as you want. The seventh brother's surname is the most impulsive, and the first thought is just a moment of forbearance, as long as he goes to the Nancheng Soldiers and Horses Division quickly, quickly cut through the chaos, and then release the wind to him, thinking that he is impatient, maybe something will happen......"

Before he finished speaking, Master Xu nodded heavily without saying a word: "Okay, this matter will be handed over to you!" ”

He was about to go out, but Xu Dong suddenly stopped, turned his head and looked at Master Xu, who was frowning and contemplating behind the desk, and suddenly walked back and bent down and asked, "Dad, there is something I haven't understood." This is obviously our Xu family's own business, why did the Zhao family intervene? Without them, this would not have ......."

"Short-sighted!" Master Xu snorted angrily, and then looked at his eldest son and said earnestly, "That is, your mother is a woman from a Taoist family, with long hair and short knowledge, so she is looking at the property in the second room wholeheartedly." What kind of goods is your brother, even if he gives him a mountain of gold, he can lose money! The reason why I pulled in the three and four rooms together, and made others think that I wanted to stuff your brother into the second room, was not all for you! ”

This is the answer that Xu Dong never expected. Looking at his father, who he had never looked down on, he only felt a hot current surging in his heart, and couldn't help but open his mouth and shout: "Dad......"

"Okay, what the Zhao family wants is the few pieces of land in Jurong in the second room, and I promised to give you Guan and Guan to walk when I took the township test, and I will definitely let you come back with one of the people in this subject. With this head, not only can the family be exempted from more taxes, but also the rest of the clan hopes to be exempt from taxes, and they will have to take the land and property attached to our door. She is really confused, a good son gives it to someone else to inherit the incense! ”

"Yes, Daddy is thoughtful. It's just that the Zhao family is already rich in Jurong, and Mr. Na Luo is so aggressive now, it's really ......"

Hearing Xu Dong cautiously mention this stubble again, thinking of the young son who had just gone out, the smile of the proud Lord Xu suddenly froze on his face, and the old man said with a gloomy expression: "I just hope that old thing is as insatiable as the Zhao family...... The Zhao family has been acting like this for more than a day or two, but they have a good reputation among the scholars, from Peng Duxian, the governor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, to several other bigwigs, they all appreciate it very much...... Boss, you keep it in mind for me, everything is inferior, only if you read high, you have to be promising, and you can also give me a jinshi exam, and then our family can raise their eyebrows! ”

ps: Finally rushed back...... It is said that there is a lot of entertainment during the New Year's holidays, but the little niece is still very cute ^_^
