Xu Nan watched everyone flee in a hurry, knowing that he was not in danger, so he went to pick up the money bag, patted the dust on it and brought it back on.

At this time, a group of people approached, the leader was masked, and the group was no more than 20 people, and someone behind them was holding a banner with the word "expedition".

Everyone stopped in front of Xu Nan, and the leader looked at Xu Nan, as well as the sword behind him that he didn't have time to pick up.

"Was there a bandit just now?"

Xu Nan was shocked, it was actually a woman,

"Yes, but they have fled, fearing the girl's prestige."

"You fought with them? Are there any injuries? ”

Xu Nan looked at his body, he was leaning against the stone just now, plus the dust, it was indeed a bit like a fight,

"If you haven't fought before, why should you get hurt."

The woman looked at Xu Nan, her eyes were full of interest,

"Where to go? I can give you a ride. ”

"Tanzhou."

"Coincidentally, let's go to Tanzhou too, come up."

As she spoke, the woman stretched out her hand to Xu Nan. No matter how casual Xu Nan is, he also knows that there is a difference between men and women, and he is a little embarrassed for a while.

"This, there is a difference between men and women, it's not good."

The woman was silent and looked at Xu Nan directly. Xu Nan thought to herself, a woman is not afraid of anything, what do she have to worry about.

So without further ado, he hurriedly turned and ran, picked up his sword, and then came back and stretched out his hand to the woman.

The woman smiled slightly, pulled Xu Nan, and the two rode a horse together. The moment Xu Nan got on the horse, there was a lot of coaxing and shouting behind him.

"Well, I wonder what they're celebrating?"

The woman straightened the reins, "They're celebrating, I've found my husband." ”

"What?" Xu Nan was shocked, "What's the matter?"

"Drive!"

Without waiting for Xu Nan to finish speaking, the woman shouted and walked away. Xu Nan on horseback subconsciously grabbed the woman's slender waist.

This woman is Xu Nan's current wife, named Xie Ying, and the dart game is his father-in-law's property. Five years ago, his father-in-law died, and the dart game was passed to Xie Ying, and the couple took care of it together.

Xu Jian's letter was quickly delivered to Tanzhou, and it only took two and a half days. Xu Nan, who received the letter, immediately found Xie Ying.

"Daughter-in-law, look at it, that Qingqing is my eldest brother's only daughter, he didn't even beat him, and he let the empty door be bullied. Daughter-in-law, tell me, how to help avenge this revenge. ”

Xie Ying looked at the letter, and he was also angry,

"What can't be put on the table actually moved to my aunt's head. In this way, I instruct all the stations of the expedition dart bureau to pay attention to the news of the empty gate. Didn't the eldest brother say it, the main thing is to find the one named Yiming first. ”

Xu Nan nodded, "Yes, that daughter-in-law, what should I do if I find someone?" ”

"Needless to say, the four meridians and eight veins were abolished, and they were tied up to vent the anger of the eldest brother."

"Daughter-in-law is wise! Then if you go to give the order to your husband, can you stand up first? ”

Xie Ying raised his head and looked at Xu Nan kneeling on the soybeans, his face was already bruised.

"How long?"

"Daughter-in-law, it's been three quarters of an hour."

"Since you have something to do, then you should get up first. Next time, if you let me know that if you drink flower wine with the group of people below, it won't be soybeans who kneel. ”

Xu Nan stood up with an aggrieved face, "Daughter-in-law, this is my Xu family's ancestral mastery technique, I am responsible for drinking, and I haven't seen any of those women." ”

Xie Ying raised his head and looked at Xu Nan fiercely. Xu Nan was immediately shocked,

"My daughter-in-law is right, I'll go to give the order first, you take care of the fetus, remember to drink soup."

Seeing Xu Nan leave in embarrassment, Xie Ying couldn't help laughing, lowered his head and touched his stomach lovingly.

Back then, knowing that he was here to make a history of assassination, Xie Ying thought about it. Originally, I just took a fancy to his appearance, but unfortunately he was an official, and it was not good for the expeditionary dart bureau if it was said that the collusion between officials and businessmen was not good.

But Xu Nan quit, instead of saying that he touched Xie Ying's waist, crying and shouting that he was responsible.

The two became relatives in a daze, what Xie Ying didn't expect was that he had a bad temper and was not virtuous enough, and the matter of the expedition dart bureau made him go out early and return late, but he still got Xu Nan's favor without hesitation.

In a secret passage, a few dim candles were lit on both sides, barely illuminated. At the end of the chamber is a chamber that can accommodate 100 people. Unlike the dimly lit and narrow passages, this place is spacious and bright.

Directly in front of you is a stone platform about two meters high, with torches on both sides. At this time, more than 20 people had gathered in the secret room, all of them masked, and no one spoke.

There was the sound of footsteps in the secret passage, and everyone looked at the person who came out wearing a blue robe.

This is a gathering place for the empty gate, and the person in the cyan robe is Yiming.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Yiming also stepped forward, and the people passing by had different colors of robes on their bodies.

The system of empty doors is divided into three levels, and each level does not have the right to suppress each other, but only has different responsibilities.

The first class wears a black robe, the second class wears a green robe, and the third class wears a red robe. Each area will have a general head who has absolute command over the actions and movements of the three parties, and this person is called an elder, wearing a white robe and holding a scepter, which is marked with an empty door and a hollow circle.

There are fifteen elders all over Kyushu, and now everyone is waiting for the elders of several of them.

The candle flame shook slightly, the door on the stone platform slowly opened, and everyone bent down.

"Greetings to the Elders."

A man slowly walked out of the stone door, still wearing a mask and holding a scepter. One on the left and one on the right is the Dharma Protector, standing behind him.

"Get up."

Because he was wearing a brass mask, his voice sounded thick and old.

Several people got up, and Yiming took the lead and knelt on the ground.

"The subordinate is ineffective in handling things, and he has been entrusted by the elders, and he asks the elders to forgive his sins."

"Forgiveness?" The person on the stone platform made people shudder, only to see him slowly get up, walk down the steps, and stand in front of the kneeling Yiming.

"You're also an old man in the door, why did this operation fail? Tell me, what is your mission this time? ”

Yiming's body trembled slightly, looking at the shoes in front of him, his voice trembled,

"Subordinate, responsible for arresting fifteen girls."

"How much has been accomplished?"

"Three, three."

As soon as the words fell, Yiming felt that he was spinning around, and he didn't dare to hesitate, Yiming immediately got up and knelt back again.

The elder breathed a sigh of relief,

"Yiming, you've been sitting in a high position for a long time, right? I'll admit that you did a good job before, and those high-ranking girls were also very popular with buyers. But have you forgotten that this is Jiankang, and Xiao Ding is not a vulgar person! If you move the daughters of his two important ministers, you are tantamount to pushing the empty door into the sea of fire! ”

"The subordinates don't dare, the subordinates don't dare!"

Yiming kowtowed again and again, but the elder didn't have a soft heart and forgiveness, turned around, and slowly went back to the steps,

"Yiming, reciting its merits, exempt from capital crimes, punishments, and stabs!"

I was startled, and my breathing became heavier, but I didn't dare to shout again.

"Subordinate, thank you, Elder!"

With his forehead slamming heavily on the ground, Yiming was taken down. The so-called sashimi is to dip a needle and thread in salt water on the back, then pass through the flesh, embroider the word "sin", and then pull out the thread. If there is a disturbance that destroys the needle and thread of the practitioner, everything starts all over again.

The elder sat down in his chair and looked at the crowd, "This is a bad time, all actions are suspended, and you should not act rashly. ”

"Subordinates obey orders."

Dark clouds were thick, and a light rain began to fall in the sky.

Plantains were planted in Xu Qingyang's yard, and the raindrops hit the plantains, and the poignant voice made people feel a little upset.

Xiangling brought a bowl of medicine and said softly,

"Girl, it's time to drink the medicine."

Looking at the black decoction, Xu Qingyang sighed secretly, took the medicine bowl, and drank it all with a sigh.

Xiangling had prepared warm water for Xu Qingyang to rinse his mouth early, and when the bitterness in his mouth dissipated, Xu Qingyang's frowning brows calmed down.

I haven't gone out for so many days, and anything makes Xu Qingyang feel upset, but when I think of Mama Wang, I have to endure my temper.

"On this rainy day, Mama's leg disease must have happened again. Sister Xiangling, don't want Mo'er to serve today, let her follow Mama. ”

"Yes, what does the girl want to eat for lunch today, the slave and maid will ask someone to prepare."

Xu Qingyang shook his head, "It's not good to be in a bad mood when it comes to this kind of weather, you can watch and prepare." ”

Of course, Xiangling knew that the bad mood was not because of the weather, but because of the boredom of not being able to go out.

Turning to leave, I saw the housekeeper Xu Xian coming here with an umbrella.

"Steward Xu, is there anything wrong with coming in?"

"Is the girl there?"

"Yes, please."

Xu Qingyang sat on the bed and heard the two talking, and knew that Xu Xian was going to come in, so he sat up specially.

"What's wrong?"

Xu Xian stood outside the screen and said,

"Girl, the head of the house is worried that the girl is bored, so he wants the girl to learn the housekeeping thing. From today onwards, the old slave will come twice a day, one hour in the morning and one hour in the evening, to teach the girl the essentials of being in charge. ”

Xu Qingyang sighed slightly, sure enough, he still has to come.

"Then there is Uncle Lao Xian, when will it start?"

"Today afternoon, the old slave brought the account book of three years ago in the house, and the girl is familiar with it first."

Xu Qingyang nodded, and Xiangling took the account book in and put it on the bookcase on the side.

"Girl, rest well, the old slave won't bother."

"Uncle Xian walks slowly, send off guests."

Looking at the stack of ledgers, Xu Qingyang knew that he was not bored this time.

"Xiangling, you go and call two people, get two bookcases, and find a more comfortable chair for Uncle Xian."

"Yes, it's just that the girl's feet should not be moved, so it is better to put the bookcase in front of the bed."

Xu Qingyang nodded, picked up the ledger and flipped it over.

The housekeeper thing is not something that can be learned overnight, Xu Zhai just wants to lay a foundation for Xu Qingyang this time, and also find a reason to block those who want to visit.

Xiao Lan wanted to come to the mansion to have a look, but she heard that Xu Qingyang was arranged to manage the accounts and did not see outsiders.

No matter how anxious you are, there is nothing you can do.

Half a month has passed in a blink of an eye, Xu Qingyang can already walk around on the ground, just in time for Xu Xian to be busy at the end of the month, Xu Qingyang has only been relaxed for a few days.

The boredom was swept away, and Xiao Lan gave Xiao Lan an invitation to visit the garden early, and organized people to prepare various matters.
