Laifu came back from the message and peeked at Zhang Wen, that glance was full of deep meaning, but Zhang Wen pretended not to see it.

When he arrived at Deyou, he rang the bell to get off work, and when Zhang Wen walked back to the back house, Laifu followed, and when he arrived in a secluded place, Laifu suddenly called Zhang Wen with an "adult".

Zhang Wenxin said that this guy couldn't hold it back, but his face was silent.

Laifu was not as low as usual, his waist seemed to be straight, and he said with a smile: "My lord, you treat me well, but you make too little money here." My life is not good, my family is poor, it is a bottomless pit to support my family, and I have been unlucky lately......"

Zhang asked, "Just say what do you want?" ”

"Two hundred taels...... Oh no, three hundred taels! Rifle said in a trembling voice.

"You know I don't have that much silver. Besides, you don't see anything either. Zhang Wen didn't want to bring it to Wu's name.

"It doesn't matter what I see, what matters is what I say to the people outside? Think about it, you are young, you are talented, but you don't even have a person you like, and the woman in this courtyard is the same age as the one you are close to. Rifle smiled squailly.

"Bastard! Nonsense! Zhang Wen was really disgusted by this shameless conjecture.

"What about all the nonsense? Do you want to go to court with me? ”

Zhang Wen wanted to ask Laifu to say a number that he could bear and send him away from his side, but his anger was not fake, even if he had already anticipated all the dirty words that Laifu would say. Laifu is right, such a ugly thing, true or false, as long as someone says it, someone will believe it, Zhang asked him not to even see the black figure. Even if you take the opportunity to draw a line with the Wu family, it won't change anything, it will only make people talk about it more.

Seeing that Zhang Wen didn't speak, Laifu said with a calm face: "Compared with the three hundred taels of silver and the owner's career, which is more important?" The proprietor weighs and weighs ......"

Zhang Wen wrote the card ticket with cinnabar, opened a list and asked Laifu to go to the account room to get the silver the next day, he just wanted this person to disappear.

In the afternoon of the next day, everything was as usual in the yamen, and Huang Renzhi walked in, holding a famous post, and said, "My lord, the people of the Shen family invite your lord to go to the Shen Mansion." ”

"What's the matter?" Zhang asked, "This official is dignified and knows the county, will they come to the yamen by themselves if their family has something to do?" ”

Huang Renzhi touched his beard, thought about it and frowned, and said, "It stands to reason that this should be the case, but the young owner of the Shen family said that the adult sent Laifu to go...... Isn't Laifu a slave of adults? ”

"Oh, I remember." Zhang Wen stood up, thought about it, and changed into civilian clothes before going out.

The Shen family's house is on the south bank of the Cao'e River, against a corner of the city wall, but it is very low-key, surrounded by trees, covered with greenery, and it is not easy to pay attention to it at all.

Walking to the door, Zhang Wen said to a few followers: "Call the door." ”

Gao Sheng hurriedly stepped forward, grabbed the copper ring and knocked it a few times. The porter opened the corner door and asked, "How many masters are ......?"

Gao Sheng said: "Lord Zhang of Shangyu Zhixian County. ”

The porter glanced at Zhang Wen, and hurriedly said: "The young owner has been waiting for the adults for a long time, please wait a while, and the villain asks the big housekeeper to open the door." ”

Generally, the door of the house is closed, and the entrance and exit are corner doors, and the doors are only opened when high-status guests visit.

After a while, the door opened, and a wide-bodied, big-faced old man greeted him with a smile on his face, and said: "The magistrate is here, there is a loss of welcome, there is a loss of welcome, my lord, please." ”

Because it was a secret matter, Zhang Wen called a few followers to wait at the door, and one followed the big butler into the door.

After the entrance hall, there are rockery ponds and flowers and plants in the courtyard for the first time, and there is a brick gatehouse with gorgeous carving in the patio, which is beautifully decorated and finely carved in the alley. The surrounding houses are exquisite and elegant, and compared with the houses in the county yali, the county government has become a slum.

"The old slave is the chief housekeeper of the Shen family, and he was given the name Shen Liu by the master." The butler said kindly, and the two entered another courtyard, still walking north along the corridor.

Zhang Wen couldn't help asking, "How many times is this yard entered?" ”

"Six-in. My lord, please come here, the young owner doesn't live in the north courtyard, she ...... in the west courtyard" Shen Liu took Zhang Wen and turned to the left, it was a cave door.

Shen Liu beckoned to the maid inside and said, "Take Master Zhang quickly." He turned back to Zhang and asked, "The old slave can't go in, my lord, please." ”
