In the past two days, Liu Hua has been looking for an opportunity, he tried to get close to Bai Xiaoyu, talk to her, and see if she knows the inside story of the huge money corruption case in Ludao? But because it is too beautiful and too famous, Bai Xiaoyu always has a group of followers behind him whenever he goes.

Not only that, but even outside the "Guoxiangzhai" where Bai Xiaoyu lives, there are also a lot of Bai Xiaoyu's followers, these followers are guarding the door of Guoxiangzhai day and night, and Liu Hua has no chance to get close to Bai Xiaoyu at all.

Seeing this situation, Liu Hua temporarily gave up the idea of approaching Bai Xiaoyu, because he knew that all this in front of him was deliberately created by Bai Xiaoyu, and she wanted to protect herself in this way.

Bai Xiaoyu needs a tough backer too much now, only the owner of Shilin Villa can help her now, so she needs to spread her fame out, and only when her fame spreads out of Lu can she attract the attention of the owner of Shilin Villa.

Once she became a disciple of the owner of Shilin Villa, others would not dare to act rashly against her, and she could also use this as a springboard to get the opportunity to meet the current saint.

In order to achieve this purpose, after Bai Xiaoyu came to Shilin Villa, instead of hiding her whereabouts, she was very active, and she would participate in the big and small competitions in the village, because only in this way could she improve her popularity.

After figuring out the key, Liu Hua stopped trying to contact Bai Xiaoyu, he just had to promise not to let Bai Xiaoyu leave his sight.

Yesterday, Wang Di and Shen Jiaolin came to visit Liu Hua once, hoping that he could join the camp of Jiangnan Yimai, but Liu Hua rejected the proposal of the two, entertained the two with boiled water, and then sent the two away.

Liu Hua's residence was arranged in the "Dongliang Residence" in Shilin Villa, which is an independent courtyard where more than 20 young talents live, and other students live in other courtyards of the villa.

Except for Huo Xuesi, the manager of Shilin Villa, who came to talk to Liu Hua on the first day, no other people in the villa came to ask Liu Hua and the others about their behavior during the rest of the time.

Seeing that the surrounding environment was so relaxed, Liu Hua couldn't help but be a little curious, and said in his heart: "The master of this Shilin Villa is too wide, right?" This level of security can't even stop a thief, if Kangxi really comes here to watch the game, what will they do to protect the holy driver? ”

When chatting with the other students in Dongliang Ju, Liu Hua expressed his doubts, and when Liu Hua's words fell, all the talents around him laughed loudly, and then they laughed and told Liu Hua the reason.

First of all, it is close to the summer resort, and in case of an accident, you can always ask for help from the forbidden army in the summer resort.

Secondly, there are one hundred and eight masters of both civil and military affairs in the villa, and these masters are distributed among the many students on weekdays, and in the event of an emergency, they will immediately calm the incident.

Moreover, several great Confucians and literary giants living in Shilin Villa are all protégés all over the world, some of those people are doing business, some are officials, some are in the military camp, some are walking the rivers and lakes with swords, in short, they are all over all walks of life.

Not only that, many ministers who resigned and retired from the court also lived in seclusion in Shilin Villa, and even today's saint Kangxi has come here many times to visit and live, just imagine, with these strong heritage, who dares to come to Shilin Villa to make trouble?

In addition to the above points, it is said that when the villa was first built, a skilled craftsman was asked to help set up a mechanism, and in case of emergency, the owner of the villa could activate the mechanism to protect the safety of the people and property in the villa, so the people in the villa never worried about their own safety.

After listening to everyone's story, Liu Hua figured out the key to it, looked around, and said in his heart: "I'll go, this place doesn't look like a mountain or water, and the feeling is that this place is still a Longtan tiger's den." ”

While Liu Hua was chatting with everyone, in an ordinary house in the back row of Shilin Villa, a middle-aged man about forty years old, with a resolute complexion, good facial features, and a handsome appearance, was staring at some pieces of paper pasted on the wall to admire.

The furnishings in the room are extremely simple, a table of eight immortals, two Taishi chairs, two coffee tables, four chairs, a wooden bed, a desk, in addition to the four treasures of the study, there is also a pot of Junzi orchid and a bamboo plant.

Although the furniture in the room is very simple, there are several bookshelves in the room, and the shelves are full of books, which at a glance shows that there are about thousands of books.

On the top of the bookshelf, there is a delicately framed horizontal axis, on which is written "Bo Gu Tong Jin, both ability and political integrity," eight big characters, and the inscription of the inscription is actually written "Xuan Ye personally inscription" The words "Xuan Ye personally inscribed" turned out to be the praise written by Emperor Kangxi for the owner of the room.

This person is the owner of Shilin Villa, Yuan Hai, known as Mr. Yong, and some people call him Yuan Zhongtang. At this time, Yuan Haizheng saw a piece of paper with two poems recited by Liu Hua.

After reciting two sentences silently, he took Liu Hua's piece of paper off the wall and put it on the table, and at this time, in addition to the pieces of paper with Liu Hua's works, there were also three pieces of paper with poems or couplets written on them, each piece of paper had a name on it, namely Duan Zhiwen, Li Pingyong, and Bai Xiaoyu.

Just as Yuan Hai looked at these pieces of paper and nodded slightly, a maid came in from outside the door: "Master Qiyu, a person who claims to be a stream from outside the villa asks to see him, he said that it is your old time, and the gatekeeper asked, do you want this person to come in?" ”

"Oh? Mr. Brook is here? I heard that he lived in seclusion in Zhongnan Mountain a few years ago, why did he suddenly come here today? Although there were some doubts in his heart, Yuan Hai still ordered: "Quickly go to the "Habitat Terrace" to inform the Forgotten Dust Monk, Mr. Dai Yao, and Master Zhang, and let the three of them go out with me to greet the old friend. ”

At this time, Liu Hua was at the door of Dongliangju, squatting on the ground with two scholars, playing playing cards drawn on pieces of paper, playing the landlord he invented.

Suddenly, he heard the sound of firecrackers at the gate of the villa, and urgently, a handsome middle-aged man, together with three wrinkled old men, was enthusiastically welcoming a middle-aged man wearing a blue shirt, holding a folding fan, and a chic face into the back hall.

After seeing these people, one of the scholars said in shock: "That man with a folding fan in his hand seems to be Mr. Xishui?" Odd? How did he get here? It's no wonder that Mr. Ziyong and several famous people in the village will personally go out to greet him. ”

"Mr. Stream? What does he do? Could it be that he is very famous? Liu Hua asked casually.

After hearing this, the scholar nodded, looked around, and saw that no one around him noticed them, and the scholar said in a low voice: "My father is from the Metropolitan Procuratorate, so he knows some secret things.

When I was visiting friends with my father, I once met this Mr. Xishui, and I heard that he was the current prince's staff and was deeply trusted by the prince, but he always lived behind the scenes, and refused to stand in front of the stage. ”

"What? Is he the crown prince's man? Seeing Mr. Xishui follow the owner of Yuanhai into the back hall, a trace of worry flashed on Liu Hua's face, and after thinking for a moment, he whispered to himself: "It seems that I have to change my plan." ”
