Chapter 511: Three Stewards
Chopping wood does not mistake the sharpener.
Planning in advance is a very important part, and it is also Lang Qi's habit of dealing with things, so he needs all the information about Liu Mansion.
Information is a manifestation of the state of motion and the way things exist. When they are not applied to specific matters, they are just a bunch of chaotic data, so it is equally important to process information and collect information, and for information, Langqi has a very special way of dealing with it - cross-analysis.
First, the source channels of information must be in two different directions, and secondly, the purpose of obtaining information is different. In this case, there is a great difference in the information obtained, and then the two are cross-compared, and the repeated information is easy to remove the false and retain the true, and often in these different places will produce some new doubts, and these doubts often produce new clues, and this kind of clues to the greatest extent to avoid human interference, often can get some truths that even both sides do not know, this is cross-analysis.
For Liufu, he has two completely different information channels, one is Xuan Tiancheng, although Liu Ruyun kept silent about Liufu, but Xuan Tiancheng is not a fuel-efficient lamp, although he doesn't ask directly, but he can ask her usual hobbies, habits and other trivial matters that parents sort out shortly, and then analyze the things in Liufu through this kind of thing, so you can still get a lot of fragmented information about Liufu.
The second source is Liao Bufan, this is the bag of Linfeng City, he knows a lot of small things, sometimes even the master's family doesn't know, they all know that now Lang Qi's identity is just Xuan Tiancheng's housekeeper, and he is not Liu Ruyun's pursuit object, even if he asks Liao Bufan clearly, the other party will not make too many associations, but there is another factor to consider, that is, if Liu Chong deliberately conceals it, and even her daughter has made training arrangements, then the news that outsiders get may not be true, Maybe it's the smoke he deliberately spreads.
If this is the case, this result is exactly what Lang Qi needs, and there is a very simple truth in this: if you want to hide something, the best way is to do nothing, if you use a lie to cover it up, then you need to use thousands of lies to cover up this lie. The so-called geese have left traces and the wind has left a voice, these tens of millions of lies are thousands of clues for those who have a heart.
Therefore, what Lang Qi has to do is to use other information to corroborate these clues, that is, the information obtained by Xuan Tiancheng, once he uses cross-analysis, he can get what Liu Chong wants to hide, and he can have a chance to get a glimpse of the truth of Liu Mansion.
While dealing with Xin Meng, they were actively planning Xuan Tiancheng's "date", and under the careful design again and again, they got more and more information about Liufu.
"Master, what a master!" Zhang Qi held his head and muttered.
In the Qinglou, Lang Qi was also troubled by the first two big, during this time he got a lot of information about Liufu, and after taking it back for analysis, he found that every time he went to a key place, he always stopped at the gate of Liufu, that is to say, if they didn't enter Liufu in person, it would be difficult for them to make an inch of progress with their identity, and the more so, the more mysterious Liufu became.
"Brother Seven, is this old thing so difficult to get?" Xuan Tiancheng stared at Lang Qi in distress, during this time he surrounded Liu Ruyun to "shh the cold and ask for warmth", and the relationship heated up a lot in the process of clichΓ©s, but it was very uneconomical for him, because he gave up many beauties he met on a blind date, which is equivalent to giving up a forest for a tree.
"It's harder than you think, this old thing is probably the toughest scheming dog we've ever encountered." Lang Qi said "ruthlessly".
Just as the three of them were chatting word by word, a rush of footsteps came, and as soon as there was a knock on the door, they were pushed open before they could answer, and the shopkeeper hurriedly ran in.
"Uncle, someone downstairs is invited."
Lang Qi was stunned for a moment, this little two knew the identity of these people, and he was also a "rich man", he was usually very respectful, and he also collected a lot of tips, it was impossible to be so reckless, and even the people inside did not come and agreed, so he directly pushed the door in, which is very unusual, this kind of thing shows one point, that is, the person who invited them is very important, at least more important than Lang Qi.
"Xiao Er, who is it, it's annoying to be noisy so early in the morning." Lang Qi complained.
The shopkeeper hurriedly sighed: "Uncle, uncle, don't talk nonsense, the person who came is the third manager of Liufu." As soon as he finished speaking, he hurriedly ran downstairs to reply.
The three of them were stunned, and the three of them were in charge of Liufu?
During this time, they were all studying Liufu, and they were naturally very clear about the stewardship of Liufu, especially the three stewards.
According to legend in the outside world, there are four stewards in Liufu, and I heard that they are all outlaws recruited by Liu Zhong back then, and the biggest characteristic of the four is that they are ruthless.
The four of them are not only the stewards of Liufu, but also Liu Chong's right-hand man in dealing with the prison.
The character of the four people is also very suitable for dealing with the prison incident, with the power structure of Linfeng City, Liu Zhong's status in Linfeng City, the so-called criminal prison has a strong subjectivity, to put it bluntly, it is a robber with an official hat, the four of them are ruthless, plus they have the power of life and death, no one is not afraid of them in the whole Linfeng City, once they are unhappy, they can be charged with a crime at will, they can let people come in vertically and go out horizontally, and no one dares to ask, this is the four stewards of Liufu.
As soon as they heard the Liufu steward, many people would subconsciously walk around, not to mention being found by them, I was afraid that they had already been scared and even their pants were wet, these three people were good, as soon as they heard that the Liufu steward came to the door, one by one they were very excited, not because they were still worried about how to enter Liufu just now, now this is not a sleepy pillow, just take the opportunity to come to the door, although it is a tiger's den, but the tiger is heartfelt, this trip is very necessary.
It is natural for someone to invite Xuan Tiancheng, but Lang Qi can enter with him as a housekeeper, with the huge size of Liu's Mansion, because of Liu Ruyun's relationship, I am afraid that he has long understood the intimate relationship between Lang Qi, the housekeeper, and Xuan Tiancheng, so his entourage is more natural, as for the daytime, although she can't enter the mansion directly, she can enter Lang Qi's sea of knowledge, and she can also enter together.
Xuan Tiancheng was in front, Lang Qi was behind, the two of them walked downstairs one after the other, and saw a dark black carriage parked outside the door from a distance, and there were more than a dozen guards standing outside the carriage.
This carriage is very peculiar, the body is made of fine iron, not ordinary wood, the fine iron is dark black, glowing with a faint light, it is clearly a special vehicle for the prison guards, and at first glance it gives people a creepy feeling. The horse pulling the cart is a heterogeneous horse, tall and has amazing endurance, otherwise it would not be able to pull this fine iron carriage.
The two hurriedly ran downstairs and were about to come forward to greet them, but they were stopped by a guard who stretched out his hand and said coldly: "Who is it?" β
Xuan Tiancheng was neither arrogant nor humble and responded, "Xiao Ke is Xuan Tiancheng." β
The guard raised his eyebrows, looked at the two of them with disdain, and coldly dropped two words: "Wait." β
Then he walked quickly to the carriage, bent over and said respectfully: "Three masters, Xuan Tiancheng has arrived." β
There was no sound in the carriage immediately, and the guard kept bending his body and did not dare to straighten up, and after a while, a few words slowly came out of it: "Get on the carriage." β
"Yes!"
The guard hurriedly answered, then stood up respectfully and stepped back, waved his hand, and a wooden carriage came from the side, pointed at Xuan Tiancheng casually, and only said two words: "Go up." β
Then he didn't look back, he walked forward directly with the carriage, regardless of whether Xuan Tiancheng got on the car or not, for them, in Linfeng City, especially civilians like Xuan Tiancheng, they would never dare to disobey the orders of Liufu, so there was no need for them to explain to this kind of civilians to go there and what to do, all they had to do was follow the instructions.
If according to Xuan Tiancheng's temper, in the face of this kind of dog fighting human power, he would have slapped him to death, this "face slapping brother" name was not blown, but this is only Xuan Tiancheng on the surface, in fact, this guy is as careful as a hair, he has long seen that this guard is actually a psychic realm, and the realm is not low, such a person can see that a housekeeper can't even straighten his waist, it can be seen how terrible the power of Liufu is, he will never be soft when it is time to attack, but he will never be hard when he should have an attack.
But the problem is that if he shows a submissive appearance, being despised is a trivial matter, once the upper echelons of Liufu feel that he is just an ordinary commoner, let alone seeing Liu Ruyun in the future, it is a question whether he can enter Liufu alive, so at this time, he must show the temperament of Liu Ruyun who is worthy of it, and he will not lose his respect for Liufu.
In terms of gentlemanly performance, Xuan Tiancheng is an expert in both psychology and behavior.
I saw him smile like a sunny smile, not caring about the guard's contempt at all, but replied lightly: "That's it, then the third master of Lao Liu will lead the way." β
Although Xuan Tiancheng's words are not taught by Lang Qi, but it is very subtle and mysterious, in terms of title, he did not put himself and the guards at the same level, but symmetrical with the three stewards, invisibly getting rid of the level of ordinary civilians, secondly, that Liu Sanye not only expressed his respect for the three stewards, but also lost no time in alluding to the relationship between him and the young female master Liu Ruyun, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.
The third steward is a social person, although he is in the carriage, he can hear Xuan Tiancheng's words clearly, clearly, and he can hear the mystery in Xuan Tiancheng's words at once, and he doesn't have a seizure, just a gentle "huh", and there is no follow-up.
Lang Qi and Xuan Tiancheng heard it, and there was a little surprise in this "huh", it seems that in the eyes of the three stewards, Xuan Tiancheng is more clever than he imagined.
The small carriage followed the big carriage, although the carriage is small, the road is relatively flat, the driver's skills are also good, the road is not bumpy, the location and route of Liufu are two people have the bottom of their hearts, so there is no need to poke their heads out, but they will fall into the next ride, and sit quietly in the car, but the direction of the car is not leaky in the heart of Langqi, this road is straight to Liufu, and there is no accident.
Lang Qi counted the distance carefully in his heart, even if he didn't look outside, he knew that there was Liufu in front of him.
Sure enough, the carriage slowly slowed down as scheduled, and then stopped, and the two of them kept the rules, and they were not allowed to get off, so they sat quietly in the car as if they didn't know.
"Get out of the car."
It was still the guard's cold voice, Lang Qi thought to himself, I really don't know how much official authority these people are used to, and they maintain a sense of superiority over outsiders anytime and anywhere.
The two lifted the curtain and went down, only to see a tall man standing in front of the carriage.
The facial features are sharp, the most prominent is a scar, extending from the left forehead to the major artery in the neck, it looks very terrifying, you can imagine how dangerous this knife or a sword was at the beginning, almost made this head become two and a half, the entire Linfeng City knows that only the three managers of the Liu Mansion have such a look, but what Zhang Qi cares about most is his eyes, but they are not so fierce, and even have some gentleness, when he looked at Xuan Tiancheng and the guards over there, his eyes did not change at all.
Thinking of this, there is an idiom that can be described, that is, to treat everyone equally, but Lang Qi faintly feels that this is not really treating everyone equally, but indifference, and the objects he ignores are not only guards and Xuan Tiancheng, but even all human beings everywhere he sees, in the eyes of this kind of person, life is like a stone on the road, so ordinary that he can't raise any interest.
How many lives do you have to kill to wash out such a pair of ignorant eyes, this is more ignorant than the butcher sees pigs and dogs, even if he is in charge of the prison, he can't raise such a pair of eyes by executing a large number of death row prisoners every day, this is just a mere steward, thinking of this, Lang Qi's heart couldn't help but shudder.
