Lin Mei raised her hand and withdrew from the ring.

"What's the matter? Go ahead. ”

"Xiang Six is gone." Tong Dacai paused, what should I say, "The master asked me to find Xiang Liu to discuss some manpower for the uncle, I went to find him at noon today to say this, but just halfway through the conversation, he suddenly said that he had a stomachache and wanted to go to the toilet, I waited for a full pillar of incense, and there was no trace of him." So he went to the thatched house to look for someone, but the thatched house was empty. ”

"Could it be that he is not feeling well and goes to the doctor first?" Lin Mei only felt her eyelids jump.

"Yes, I thought the same way at the time, and called a few men to look for it, but several nearby pharmacies have searched for it, and they all said that they have not seen Xiang Liu. Xiang Liuping lives in a restaurant, and he has never heard that he has relatives in Luoyang, such a big living person has disappeared out of thin air, and the slave feels strange, could it be that his kid slipped away by himself. ”

There are still some selfish motives he didn't say, Xiang Liu is halfway to take refuge in himself, but he has been reused by his master, and in a few years, he is afraid that the limelight will only overshadow his head......

Lin Mei hung her head thoughtfully, although Xiang Liu was born as a pickpocket, he was the most disciplined and righteous, if he really wanted to leave, there were many opportunities to go to Jiangnan before, but he still completed the errand, so this time he couldn't leave without saying hello. Besides, he has been in the market since he was a child, and he is good at opening all kinds of locks, so ordinary people can't trap him. The only thing left is to be murdered, is it possible that the enemy who was made in the past has come to seek revenge from him after many years? Or is it involved......

The wild speculation in his mind couldn't help but think that he had said that he had a stomachache when he disappeared, and wondered: "Why did he suddenly have a stomachache for no reason, do you know that he had other abnormalities before he saw you?" ”

Tong Dacai understood and widened his eyes in surprise.

How did you forget about it?

"Duck blood vermicelli soup." Tong Dacai knelt on the ground with a puff, and said in a cold sweat on his forehead: "Not far from our restaurant, a new Jinling snack bar has opened, Xiang Liu's best bite, he went again today, and when I went to look for him, he was eating happily." ”

Lin Mei understood, whether it was really an accident or he slipped away by himself, it was only half a day's work, it was impossible to have no clues at all, and snorted coldly. "So, he disappeared inside the snack bar?"

"The slave should die, the slave has always felt that Xiang Liushi has surrendered to his master halfway, and he will not be willing to be a slave for the rest of his life. In the past two years, his kid has also made a lot of benefits in Jiangnan, and the slave just wants to ...... Thinking about it, I'm afraid that this kid will regret running away with his master. That's why ......"

"So you're confusing the public...... Fool me! ”

Lin Mei looked at him with a frown, the anger in her eyes that suddenly leaked was enough to knock him back into the quagmire.

"The slave brain is caught by the door, and he will be confused and violate the master's ban, the slave deserves death, and ask the master to give him a chance to atone for his sins." Tong Dacai prostrate on the ground, his eyes rolled, he didn't know what he thought, he suddenly raised his head and asked, "But it's true that Xiang Liu disappeared in the duck blood shop, someone must want to start with Xiang Liu to destroy the Lin family?" ”

Lin Mei sighed, if a man is jealous, his heart is no smaller than that of a woman, and he is angry: "Although Xiang Liu has not been with me for a long time, this person is the most disciplined and righteous, he has indeed done a good job in Jiangnan, and I also intend to approve, but the steward of the Listening Division only needs one person." On the contrary, the uncle has just entered the court, there are many places to employ people, Xiang Liu's nature is good, and he grew up in the capital since he was a child, and he is familiar with the way, I think he is the most suitable candidate. I asked you to consult with him, but I thought that in the future, you two would go to one place, and let him accept your favor. I didn't expect that your heart eye is smaller than the eye of a needle, no one found it, and the matter was not clarified, so you fell in front of me to play with your heart eye and take eye medicine, I think you are going back more and more as you live......"

Lin Mei reprimanded and deeply reflected on herself. In the past, it was okay, no one in the family was an official and was not so particular and disciplined, as long as the people below did not make a big mistake, it would be over with one eye closed, and Lin Mei did not have too many rules and restrictions on the stewards. Now, and in the future, the Lin family is different from before, Lin Shan has an official position to talk about the official voice, and he will also marry. Whether it is better for the people below to continue to stay, or to marry, it is obvious that they have a new measure in their hearts.

People's hearts are unpredictable, if you don't kill chickens to show the monkeys today, and the tumors are eliminated, the stewards who will stay in the future will one day fool Lin Shan and the entire Lin family. Do you want Lin Shan's official reputation? How many pairs of eyes are staring at the entire court, one carelessness will not only affect Lin Shan's future, what should the Lin family do?

It's her fault! I should have thought of this a long time ago, and some of the words should have been said earlier.

Thinking of this, Lin Mei was furious, lifted the teacup on the table, pointed at him, and said sharply: "Tong Dacai, Tong Dacai, you are becoming less and less ignorant of me, what you did today, can I understand that you have a different heart and want to choose another good master......

"No, no, I don't." Tong Dacai raised his head suddenly, widened his eyes and explained: "The slave can have today all depends on the master's allocation, and the master is Tong Dacai's Bole in this life, a good teacher." Tong Dacai is a cow and a horse in this life, and he will not betray his master if he dies. ”

Lin Mei slowly straightened her back, took a deep breath, stared at him tightly, and her tone softened: "Good birds choose trees to perch, this is also a common feeling. It's also to blame that I didn't have a good chat with you before, I know that since the uncle has an official position, the people below have become active. I think that I will marry a woman after all, calm down to the inner house, return to the backyard, follow me in the future has no future, it is better to continue to stay in the Lin family to assist the uncle. Besides, the uncle doesn't know how to do business, and the Lin family's business will not be handed over to the stewards to take care of in the future...... It's better to fool the uncle than to fool me! You say I'm talking about it, don't you?! ”

"The master is clear, and the slave has no two hearts." After Tong Dacai finished speaking, "Dong Dong Dong" knocked his head three times in a row.

That's pretty much it, even if he still has a conscience!

"Alright, don't be so quick to make up your mind, go back and think about it. I'll also make it clear to you today, the twisted melon is not sweet, you go back and tell them, I don't embarrass them, three days is limited, if you are willing to marry and follow me, you can tell me directly. Three days later, he expressed his willingness to stay in the Lin family and follow the uncle in the future, but as for whether the uncle wants it or not, it is the uncle's own business, and I will never interfere. ”

Three days later, it was a day of great joy for Lin Shan.

Lin Shan, who was standing in front of the door, was already stiff and stunned, and his heart was already turbulent!

At this time, don't look at Lin Mei's relaxed face when she spoke, in fact, her heart has already been up and down. As the so-called residents think of danger, these days have been comfortable for a long time, but they have forgotten that people's hearts are unpredictable.

"It doesn't take three days, the slave can reply to the master now, and the slave is willing to follow the master and go to the soup and fire."

After receiving his repeated assurances, Lin Mei suddenly felt relieved and breathed a sigh of relief: "Get up, I will give you a chance to make up for your mistakes in this matter, and you will be limited to find people for me in three days, you must see people in life, and corpses in death!" If this is not done well, he will be punished at the same time. ”

"Yes." Tong Dacai hurriedly got up from the ground and walked away with a disgraced face.

Lin Shan was uneasy, lifted the curtain, strode into the house, and said anxiously, "Is the eldest sister okay?" ”

Lin Mei didn't want him to worry, so she changed the topic: "It's okay, it's okay." You can take a month's vacation for this wedding, Xie compiled it is a great help, I have prepared some small gifts, you go and see if you need to make up for it, and bring it with you when you return to Beijing. ”

Lin Shan looked at her with a solemn expression: "It's not as good as before, firstly, I have entered the official career after all, and secondly, I am about to start a family, and I can be regarded as an uncle; The eldest sister often says that self-cultivation can level the world, if my eldest man can't do it well, how can he level the world. Say, but what happened? ”
