Su Bottle stayed up late to make rules.

In order to get rid of those seventeen people as quickly as possible, the rules are full of traps. If a person does nothing, he will inevitably break the rules; Not doing well enough, also breaking the rules; Even if you do it well, you can break the rules. In short, if you want to get rid of a person, maybe he doesn't have to make a mistake at all.

Formulating rules to expel old ministers is a kind of framing, but this is understandable, once the son of heaven is a courtier, and the new official takes office with three fires. If you don't kill those thorns and rats, Tang Mei's work will not be easy to carry out in the future.

But those people are all Tang Mei's Sanfu relatives. There are Tang Ning's concubine, Tang Ren's concubine, Tang Jiong's eldest grandson, and a group of Tang young masters. And to make it clear, not all concubines have a low status.

If the concubine is born to a maid, then the status of the concubine is often very low. If the concubine's mother has a side room with a background, or is the lord's favorite concubine, then the concubine's treatment will not be too bad.

And there are not many examples of concubines turning over in history, such as Wei Qing, Huo Quzhi, Wang Mang, Yuan Shao and so on. However, in the Liang Dynasty, the concept of concubine was more important.

But the old man still values the ability of the boy, and if the child is capable, even if he is a concubine, he will be cultivated. and even turned into a concubine.

For example, when the main room dies, the concubine's mother will be renewed as the main room. If the concubine's mother also dies, he will go to the ancestral hall to hold a ceremony and posthumously make it the main room.

It's been the third watch, the rules are written, Su Bottle checked again and again, and felt that there was nothing to modify, so he closed the book and went to sleep. I had just slept for less than two hours, and suddenly I heard a lot of mourning. Listen to the sound and distinguish the position, and the mourning music comes from the direction of the inner house. Su Bottle's heart moved, and he said in his heart, the princess is dead.

The sky was bright, Su Bottle stopped sleeping, and got up to pack the package. In fact, he didn't have anything to pack, that is, a few clothes, a few taels of silver, and dozens of copper coins. As for the bells and whistles and crumpled robe given by Tang Mei, Su Bottle did not intend to take it away, but left it on the bed.

At this time, Zhu Tao knocked on the door and came in, and saw Su Bottle packing the package, and asked in wonder, "Uncle is going out?" ”

Su Bottle smiled bitterly: "The time has come, and my fate with Miss Six is over." I'm going to Yongkang County and concentrate on being a deputy leader of the fast catcher. In the future, Xiao Tao has something to do, so you can go there to find me. I don't have much power, but I can do my best to help. ”

Zhu Tao was so anxious that she stomped her feet: "What is my uncle anxious about, but the young lady didn't say to let my uncle go." ”

"There has been an agreement for a long time, so why wait for others to open their mouths to expel them? It's like I want to stay here. ”

As he spoke, Su Bottle put a package on his back and walked to the front yard.

Zhu Tao pursed her lips, trotted past the Su bottle, and took a step ahead of the Qinxiang Xiaozhu. As soon as I got in, I bumped into Miss Six head-on.

Su Bottle came over and saw Zhu Tao talking to Miss Six.

Seeing that Su Bottle was coming, Miss Six walked over with a straight face and pointed, "You go back for me!" ”

Su Bottle said: "What's the matter, the previous agreement is not counted?" ”

Tang Mei gritted her teeth, seemingly a little embarrassed, but she still said, "Make a count." ”

"Then why don't I go?"

"Because it's not the princess who died, it's the county lord."

It turned out that Tang Gui, the lord of Anle, had passed away, and Su Bei didn't say a word, and turned back. At this time, I heard Tang Mei say: "Even if it is really the death of the princess, you are not allowed to leave without permission." I am the head of the family, and you have to listen to my arrangement. I let you go, and you can go. Hey, did you hear that! ”

I don't think I heard it. Anyway, the son-in-law didn't look back to deal with her.

Then Tang Mei also left, listening to her heavy footsteps, it was estimated that she was angry again.

Tang Gui is Tang Qiong's younger sister, that is, Tang Mei's aunt. It is the county lord of the previous generation, who was selected and nominated by the family and was enshrined by the Queen Mother.

Although the life style of this county lord is not very good, after all, his status is noble. As soon as the county lord died, the whole family went to mourn. Inevitably, I have to fake crying a few times. Of course, there must be some people who are really crying, who doesn't have a few close people.

But the work in the warehouse will not stop, Tang Mei sent Tang Wan to run home and ask for the rules from Su Bottle. He also sent some money from Tang Kuan and sent it to Su Bottle, asking Su Bottle to choose a house as the governor's house. This afternoon, she was going to have a meeting there and read out the rules.

As for why she gave up the Governor's Mansion, which was originally close to the granary, Tang Mei did not give any explanation. Su Bottle estimated that it was the result of Tang Kuan's instructions.

Su Bottle took his little maid and went to the three warehouses to have a look. The granary and the western warehouse are relatively simple, because there is a single stock here. Then the focus of the three major warehouses is the East Okura. There are a wide variety of goods there, and it is also a place where the masters, sons, young masters, old ladies, and young grandmothers of the family often start.

Of the seventeen rats to be cleaned up, eleven are in the East Okura.

Dong Okura is just northeast of the Guogong Mansion, relatively close to the east gate of Thanh Hoa Fang. The carriage enters from the east gate to a flat avenue, go straight, and enter the big warehouse as soon as you turn the corner at the door. Logistics is very convenient. And the closest family to Dongokura is the home of Eighth Miss Tang Yun. That is, Lin Tong's family.

His house is next to Dacang, and it will be more or less affected, for example, now Dacang is entering lime, and he sees the storm growing from afar, once the east wind blows, the Lin family will suffer. A layer of white ash, like snow. On the roofs, on the canopies, on the flowers, on the heads of people, there was ash everywhere. Sitting in his yard for a while can turn into a plaster man.

However, the Lin family's house is still quite large, and under the planned economic system, it can be regarded as the Tang family's care for the Lin family. At this time, Su Bei also heard Zhu Tao say that in addition to the Tang family, there were also eight meritorious families living in Qinghuafang.

It was the eight generals who followed Tang Yu, the ancestor of the Tang family, to fight the country, and was later called the eight generals. Their spiritual seats are also enshrined in the Tang ancestral hall. It was placed in the lower row of Tang Yuling's position.

And the eight meritorious families have also worked for the Tang clan until now, and each generation will select strong men to serve in the Shence Army. It was used as a close party, and there was no shortage of high-ranking officials. For example, Lin Tong was also stained with the light of the family, and at a young age, he became Wuwei Sima.

"Which of the eight meritorious families are there?"

Zhu Tao said like a bean: "Kong, Dian, Lin, Zhang, Li, Wang, Zhen, Shi." ”

"Oh." Su Wei nodded: "If I remember correctly, the two captains of the Great Sima Guard, one surnamed Zhen and the other surnamed Shi." ”

Zhu Tao said with a smile: "Zhen Xiuwei, Shi Maosheng." They're interesting. ”

"What's the point?"

"My uncle is not familiar with them, but when they are familiar, they will know, those two people are actually two muddy people, and they are also two living treasures. In terms of fighting, they bravely crowned the three armies. But because they are too muddy, Grandpa Guo does not let them serve in the Shence Army. Grandpa Guo also said that the two of them should not lead more than three hundred, otherwise it would be a waste to bring one more. And the Great Sima Guard was six hundred, and he two of them led three hundred. ”

Su Bei recalled the two of them, both of them had big shoulders and round waists, and beards, like two black iron towers. Stunned, tiger-headed general. However, the two of them are still easy to distinguish, because Shi Maosheng is bald. There is not a single hair on the head, and it is bright and bright.

Miss Six said that she should choose an office place. She said that she wanted to be closer to Higashiokura, but she couldn't eat ashes all day long. I think it's more appropriate here. Su Bottle stood in front of a courtyard to the west of the Lin family.

I don't know what happened to this temple, it's overgrown with weeds, and it should have been a long time since anyone lived there.

The buildings in Thanh Hoa Fang are all ready-made, as if they were mass-produced, and the courtyards of the neighbors are exactly the same.

To the east of this house is Lin Tong and Miss Ba's house, and to the west is the house of the fifth old man Tang Li, and the gate is facing the north gate of the Guogong Mansion.

Su Wei was about to ask, but Zhu Tao tilted his head and said, "Why don't you change your uncle." ”

"Why?"

"It's a murderous house. The last two Tang county lords lived here, both of them were young and prime, and they died at night without explanation. That's why Lord Gui refused to come here to live, preferring to stay in the Guogong Mansion. ”

"Oh, the murderous house."

"What's the matter, my uncle doesn't believe in ghosts and gods?"

"I believe it, and I don't believe it."

"Do you believe it or not?"

Su Bottle smiled and didn't answer.

The people of the Liang Dynasty are very superstitious, but Su Bottle is not from the Liang Dynasty. Su Bottle's attitude towards ghosts and gods is very mysterious. He doesn't believe it, but he will follow his friends to worship the Buddha and worship God. He didn't believe in any murderous mansions, but before living in the murderous mansions, he had to ask the Taoist priest to come over and recite mantras and paste runes. This seems to be a bit contradictory. But that's what he does.

There is a Taoist temple in Qinghua Fang, and you can invite the old Taoist to spend some incense money. The blue-robed old man with eyes in his eyes and a bull's nose on his head carried a peachwood sword and a demon bell, walking around the front and back courtyards.

Since the houses in Qinghuafang are all publicly owned, there is no need to spend money to use this house, and the money Tang Mei gave to Su Bottle is used to buy tables, chairs, benches and other things.

Su Bei asked Zhu Tao to go back, find Tang Le, the big housekeeper of the Guogong Mansion, and beckoned twenty servants to clean up the old house. Su Bottle said, everyone is a little nibble, please eat wine at noon. The little boy worked energetically, and the locusts passed through the field, so they cleared the weeds in the yard.

It is only an hour to fetch water to clean up the dust in the house, and there are many tables, chairs and benches in this house, many of which can be used. Su Bottle just bought a new couch, a long one, and placed it in the main hall, which was prepared for Tang Mei.

In the future, the majestic Sixth Miss will give orders here.

After all the arrangements were completed, it was already noon, and Su Bei led twenty small servants to go to the restaurant with the Taoist priest who had wielded the peachwood sword all morning. Eat and drink. Women don't go to the men's table, and Su Bottle orders a meal for Zhu Tao.

While eating and drinking, Tang Wan ran over and said that Miss Six was on fire and was standing in front of the Governor's Mansion and scolding the street.
