The shopkeepers and bookkeepers of the industries under the Xie family's name gathered in Xie Pu's house and discussed with the proprietor for a day for the future development plan.

At the beginning, because Dali Temple wanted to check Xie Pu's accounts, these shopkeepers and bookkeepers all asked people from Dali Temple or the local government to detain and interrogate, and they were detained for several days before they were released. After receiving the letter from Xie Pu conveyed by Pingnanbofu, they all honestly handed over the power of the industry, and did not go out to inquire blindly, but just refused the recruitment and retention of Pingnanbofu under the pretext of being frightened, tired, injured or something.

They didn't bother to ask more about what was going on between Xie Pu and Pingnanbo's Mansion. The latter is powerful, and it is estimated that the owner can't bear the coercion of the powerful, right? In business, this kind of thing is not new. The news that Xie Pu and the Cao family turned their faces, they also heard about it on the way to Beijing. Although everyone is very angry, what kind of family is the Cao family? They can only helplessly admit that they are unlucky.

However, a large part of the guys who originally stayed in the shops and workshops are currently helping the new owner Pingnanbo Mansion to do things, but many of them are muttering in their hearts, and they don't know when they will return to the Xie family.

Although Pingnanbo Mansion is powerful and majestic, the stewards of their family are not serious businessmen, and their style of behavior is very unaccustomed. Working with them, the guys are willing to work hard for a year, and they don't earn as much as they earned in the second half of the year in the Xie family, and they will be scolded at every turn, and they often have to honor the stewards above them, and the atmosphere is about to be corrupted. This is called, how can the guys who are used to the Xie family's behavior adapt?

The men did not dare to fight against the powerful, but they were all distracted, and if they had the opportunity, of course they would prefer to live under the more generous and compassionate shopkeeper. These people entrusted the shopkeeper and the bookkeepers to send letters to Xie Jinkun and petition him.

Xie Pu could only smile bitterly.

The shopkeepers, the men and craftsmen who have mastered important secret skills, he has to find a way to take them away. For the rest, there is nothing he can do. First, he doesn't have enough strength to place so many people at present, and second, he doesn't want to startle the snake and cause the dissatisfaction of Pingnanbofu.

And, of course, the most important one.

He wants to help the emperor's subordinates to install eyes and ears in his own property, otherwise, how can the emperor use the Xie family's property to find out the secrets of the Cao family?

In the property that fell into the hands of Pingnan Bofu, it is very necessary to leave a part of the trustworthy and familiar hands. Xie Pu planned to let these people help the spies sent by the emperor to gain a firm foothold in the industry as soon as possible, and on the premise of not arousing the suspicion of the Cao family, he asked where the money under the Cao family's accounts was secretly going.

If the plan goes well, maybe it won't take a few years for these guys who are reluctant to work for the Cao family to return to the Xie family?

Xie Pu thought twice and finally came up with a solution. He instructed his subordinates, the two most tight-mouthed and loyal old shopkeepers and the two bookkeepers, to secretly train the emperor's men, and strive to train them to be qualified shopkeepers in the shortest possible time, and then "recommend" these people to the Pingnanbo Mansion as relatives and friends of the men through the mouths of some of the men who were retained by the Pingnanbo Mansion.

When the incompetent stewards of Pingnanbo Mansion eat turtles in the matter of running the industry, these "talents" will definitely be very popular with Pingnanbo, and then they will be able to smoothly lurk in the industry of Pingnanbo Mansion, are you afraid that they will not be able to inquire about useful news?

Through Lu Fuzhi of Dali Temple, Xie Pu contacted Jiang Xiaoquan, the envoy of Jinyiwei, who had dealt with him many times in prison, and the two secretly entered the palace together.

Of course, Xie Pu didn't forget to bring the little brocade box with him.

On this day, Xie Pu didn't go home until late at night. Wen was not at ease, so he had to go to the living room in the front yard to sit and wait until he came back. Xie Mulin urged his brother Xie Jinzhi, who was not in good health, to go back to the room to rest, but he stayed in the living room to accompany Wen.

Wen originally wanted to persuade his daughter to go back to her room to sleep, but Xie Mulin insisted on staying: "I took a long nap today, and I am not sleepy now, and it is good to talk to my mother." It's been a busy time, and we haven't talked for a long time. ”

Wen Shi listened, and couldn't help but soften: "It's okay, let's talk about it." There are no outsiders in Hengzhu's house, and if you get up late tomorrow, no one will laugh at you. ”

The mother and daughter chatted like this, mainly because Xie Mulin was asking the Wen family about the personnel of Huyin County's hometown. If the family wants to go back to live, they can't do it without figuring out what is going on there. Mrs. Xie died back then, and there were too many people who offended. I don't know if any family, relatives and friends will hate Mrs. Xie, and when the time comes, they will be angry with her children and grandchildren.

At the third watch, Xie Pu came back. He was accompanied by two men dressed as brocade guards. When the two men saw him enter the house, they turned and left, without saying a word. Xie Mulin saw their figures by the dim light of the lantern under the eaves of the door, and wondered in his heart what Xie Pu had done when he entered the palace this time, so that he could be escorted home by the brocade guards?

However, Xie Pu did not intend to mention it. He seemed to be in a good mood, his face was still a little tired, and he smiled and said to Wen, "Why did you wait so late?" I said it earlier, so you don't have to wait for me. Go back to your room and rest, or you will be out of energy when you get up tomorrow. Then he turned back and told his daughter, "Go back to your room quickly." ”

Xie Mulin had to go back to the room to rest first, and only after getting up the next morning and having breakfast did he go to the study to ask Xie Pu about entering the palace.

Who knew that Xie Pu said: "The rules in the palace are that officials are not allowed to divulge the forbidden things." What are you asking about? Let's go back to the room and do the needlework. It's an adult business, and you don't have to worry about it. ”

Xie Mulin was a little disappointed, and couldn't help arguing: "It's not that I like to inquire blindly, Ping Nanbo actually dared to poison his father, and his father went to the palace to complain, of course I want to know what the emperor's reaction is." Will the emperor punish Ping Nanbo? Ping Nanbo didn't dare to mess with his father anymore, right? Can Big Brother come home? ”

Xie Pu replied vaguely: "You'll know in a few days." The emperor's holy candle shines, and he will make decisions for his father. Just ask a few words, for the Father has said so, don't you still believe it? ”

Xie Mulin glanced at Xie Pu with some suspicion before looking away. To be honest, she didn't really believe in this cheap daddy, after all...... He has been cheated a lot, and he doesn't seem to be a shrewd person.

Xie Pu saw his daughter's eyes, and was angry and funny for a while: "You girl, when did you become so difficult?!" Obviously he was originally a well-behaved and sensible child, but now he is very angry! ”

Xie Mulin blinked, suddenly realized that he was a little OOC, coughed, showed an aggrieved expression, and muttered, "Is this what I want?" I also want to be a well-behaved and sensible Miss Jiao, and I don't have to worry about anything. ”

This made Xie Pu's heart soften. He sighed and touched his daughter's head: "Good boy, Daddy knows that it has been difficult for you these days." Rest assured, our family will slowly get better. You just need to be a well-behaved daughter and never have to worry about the worries outside. Daddy will never let your brothers and sisters suffer anymore. ”

Xie Mulin wanted to take the opportunity to ask two important questions, but he was afraid of provoking Xie Pu again, so he had to endure it and obediently accept the loving comfort of the cheap father.

Xie Pu looked at his daughter's well-behaved appearance as before, and felt relieved. After thinking about it, he made a decision: "In a few days, on the Buddha's birthday, my father originally wanted to go to Jinghai Temple to have a look." Simply, you can go and relax together. ”
