For a moment, Xu Chong thought a lot.

In the memory of the original body, after the third master made his career, the housekeeper of the Xu Mansion has always been Lao Li.

More than ten years have been the same, and it has never changed.

It's not how good it is, if you want to talk about the merits, there is barely one, honest.

Like the other servants and maids hired by the Xu Mansion, they are all from artisan families.

First, the background is too low, and secondly, the third master has been very busy and doesn't care much about these people, so these people don't have the idea of being pampered and arrogant, and they rarely maintain that simplicity.

It is precisely because of this that after Xu Chong took charge of the Xu Mansion, he never had the idea of replacing these people.

Even the two maids of the third master were unwilling to turn into miscellaneous maids, and voluntarily took the money and left.

But what's going on now?

Lao Li?!

Xu Chong clearly remembered that when he opened the door of the study, there was no one inside.

And he himself stood at the door from beginning to end to practice, not to mention that someone passed by, and no one appeared in his field of vision at all.

How did Lao Li appear in the study and let him not notice it?

Could it be ......

Xu Chong was shocked: "You are a water ghost?!" ”

"Water ghosts?"

Lao Li frowned, "Don't compare me to that shrunken-headed turtle. ”

Turtle with a shrunken head?

Wait a minute!

Lao Li is not a water ghost?!

Xu Chong felt that his brain was a little insufficient.

"Hmph, Ben Daozi has been here for half a month, and I have been looking for him for half a month, but I have never waited for his response."

Lao Li snorted dissatisfiedly, "A group of blood-clothed guards can scare him like this, isn't it a turtle with a shrunken head?" ”

Ben Daozi?

Well, not only is he not a water ghost, but at the same time he is not Lao Li......

Xu Chong understood, and his heart fell into the abyss, "The Taoist of Taiping Dao? What do you want to do if you become my butler? ”

"Hehe, since you're not used to it, then I'd better talk to you in a different way."

Lao Li smiled indifferently.

In the next moment, his face and figure began to distort.

In the blink of an eye, he completely changed his appearance, from a rickety old man to a graceful and elegant young man.

"You can call me innocent."

The young man had a smile on the corner of his mouth, and he had a sense of superiority.

Xu Chong: "......"

"Xu Chong, twenty years old, serving as the canonical history of Canglong County, he is jealous and hateful, loves the people like a son, and the entire Canglong County officials are good or the people, all of them are convinced by you."

The Innocent Daozi pointed to the chair opposite, "If I'm not wrong, then sit down and talk about it." ”

Xu Chong was silent for a moment, walked into the study honestly, closed the door, and then sat down opposite the innocent Daozi.

No matter who the other party is, since he is willing to take the trouble to investigate himself, it is definitely not for the purpose of killing.

There must be something else to ask for.

"What do you want me to do?"

Xu Chong went straight to the point.

"It's a pleasure to talk to smart people."

The Innocent Daozi stroked his palms and smiled, "I want you to use your connections and prestige to help me keep an eye on the entire county, but if there is anything abnormal, inform me immediately." ”

Xu Chong's heart moved slightly, "So, you are also here to find that heavy treasure?" ”

"Huh? You even know that? ”

The Innocent Daozi was surprised, "It seems that your relationship with Fu Yuanlong is very unusual... Did you discover the water ghost's scheme? ”

"Well, that's how it should be."

"There is a surplus to exchange for a martial art, presumably the imperial court has rewarded a lot of contributions, right?"

The words of the impeccable Daozi made Xu Chong silent for a while.

He never expected that the other party could associate this with just an irrelevant sentence.

Luckily, he's hiding deeper than that.

After thinking about it, Xu Chong said, "Since you say that I am jealous and hateful, why do you still come?" Aren't you afraid that I will die to denounce? ”

"Oh, the difference between good and evil is for the common people, I don't believe you will really be so naïve."

The innocent Daozi hooked the corners of his mouth, "What's more, as long as the benefits are big enough, good and evil can cooperate." ”

"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you."

Xu Chong shook his head: "I already have martial arts skills, and I don't lack anything, and I have my back to the imperial court, which is far more secure than contaminating the Taiping Dao." ”

"That's right."

Innocent Daozi nodded, and the words suddenly changed: "But...... What about getting rid of the restrictions of household registration? Don't you want this either? ”

"Get rid of ...... Join Tai Ping Dao? ”

Xu Chong frowned, "I'm sorry, I..."

Before he finished speaking, Wuxian Daozi raised his index finger and shook it twice, "I only said that I would get rid of the household registration restrictions, but I didn't say that you should join the Taiping Dao...... Well, to put it bluntly, I can let you get rid of the restrictions of household registration without betraying the imperial court. ”

"What did you say?!"

Xu Chongteng stood up suddenly, his face full of horror.

Seeing that the time was ripe, the innocent Daozi continued to open his mouth to seduce.

"As long as you help me succeed, after the matter is completed, I will give you the opportunity to trade with me."

"Exercises, martial arts, treasures, intelligence... Anything you can think of will have a suitable price, and you don't need to betray Daqing. ”

The eyes of the Innocent Daozi were extremely deep, as if he was going to pull Xu Chong down the abyss, "You can continue to be your official, use the deal with me, and rise to the top!" ”

Xu Chong couldn't calm down for a long time.

What the Innocent Daoist said, the rest doesn't matter.

After a few months, he is no longer a rookie who first heard of 'knowledge and obstacles' and wanted to open up additional channels.

There is a fifth-class household registration, and no matter what he does, he can't get rid of the fact that he is restricted everywhere.

Unless you join the Taiping Road, you will create a rebellion in Daqing.

But now, this innocent Taoist actually said that he could get rid of household registration restrictions without betraying Daqing?

Is this something he can do with a single way?

If you can do it, can Sun Rongrong do it?

Why haven't you heard her mention it?

Xu Chong suppressed his boiling desire and said in a deep voice: "There is no evidence, how can I believe you?" ”

"I'm not afraid to tell you, there are more people in the court who trade with me, I just don't mind having more trading partners, you and I will give you benefits for nothing?"

Innocent Daozi smiled, "But then again, with your level, it will probably take a long time to make a deal with me." ”

Is this what I'm asking?

Xu Chong complained, and simply asked directly: "The one you said got rid of the household registration restrictions?" ”

"It's useless to tell you this now, you can't afford to pay this price."

"Besides, there is no one else who can do it but me."

"You can think about it, and you can reply to me tomorrow, I'm not in a hurry."

After speaking, the innocent Daozi lazily leaned back in the chair, closed his eyes and recuperated, as if he was not afraid that Xu Chong would not take the bait.

Time passes slowly.

Xu Chong struggled for a long time, and let out a long breath: "...... To be honest, I was very tempted by your proposal. But, I don't dare to promise you. ”

"Don't dare? Why? ”

Innocent Daozi opened his eyes and frowned.

"On the four city gates, there is a sudden extra mirror, I guess this should be Fu Yuanlong's means to monitor your Taiping Dao."

Xu Chong said meaningfully, "Perhaps, he has firmly grasped your whereabouts, and he will come with the blood-clothed guards at any time." ”

"What did I think you would say?"

The Innocent Daozi shook his head disdainfully, "It's just a matter of blood and light, it's okay to deal with others, deal with me?" ”
