Chapter 20 Patrol outside the house
Before dawn the next day, Lei Luo came to the middle of the courtyard and began to practice martial arts.
Then he saw that Uncle Zhong and the maid Xiaohuan also appeared in the courtyard, and the two of them helped each other to water and prune the flowers and plants in the yard, etc., and after seeing Lei Luo stop, he said hello to him.
After a while, Bai Muling also came out of the wing, saw that Lei Luo was also in the courtyard, nodded slightly, and entered the main house, probably to talk to his mother.
When the young lady of the Bai family came out of the main house, she ordered Lei Luo to go out together, saying that she was going to inspect the Bai family's property, and Lei Luo naturally followed her to protect her.
"The Bai family no longer has any property assigned to Miss, why do you have to go to the inspection, Miss is a descendant of the Bai family, if she goes out like this, wouldn't it give the gangsters a chance to take advantage of?"
What he wondered was why Bai Muling wanted to leave the mansion, after all, the guards were the only ones themselves, and if they really ran into trouble, they might not be able to take care of them.
"The Bai family's industry needs to be inspected and reviewed by the descendants every once in a while, so as to prevent the deacons from filling their own pockets, and the descendants need to be registered in the account office after the review is over, these things are just an errand matter, and many descendants are unwilling to do it, so they give me such idlers," Speaking of the word idler, Bai Muling's tone was slightly aggravated, and his face was slightly cold and explained to Lei Luo.
It seems that this Miss Bai family did not volunteer to go on patrol.
"As for safety, aren't you a big master, based on my observation in the martial arts platform yesterday, Lei Guard's skills should not be weaker than the family's silver medal guard," Speaking of this, Bai Muling changed his indifferent tone just now, and said with a smile.
Although this woman is dignified and beautiful, Lei Luoke, as a guard, has no thoughts of anything else, and can only look elsewhere to divert attention.
"My subordinates will do their best to protect Miss," he replied with a blank face as he clasped his fists and saluted Bai Muling.
Seeing that Lei Luo was indifferent to herself, this young lady of the Bai family, who thought highly of herself, was a little bored, so she walked forward quickly, leaving Lei Luo behind her.
For this, Lei Luo could only touch his nose and then followed with interest, after all, this is his future master, and this job still has to be done well.
Walking on the streets of Lijiang City again, looking at the awe-inspiring gazes of the pedestrians around him, Lei Luo pouted slightly, the Bai family has indeed accumulated prestige in the city for a long time, and other idle passers-by are avoiding it like a tiger, this situation really makes him a little unaccustomed.
He could only look sideways at the sedan chair carried by the two people next to him to relieve the embarrassment, and the young lady of the Bai family, Bai Muling, was sitting quietly in the sedan chair at this time.
The Bai family has prepared a special sedan chair for the disciples of the lineage as a means of travel, and if they are disciples who practice martial arts, they also have a bloody BMW.
And Lei Luo's words, because he is a guard, to put it bluntly, he is a subordinate role, so naturally he can't enjoy these treatments, so he can only rely on his feet to hurry.
Baibao Cloth Company, this is the industry of Baibao Commercial Bank, which is naturally the industry of the Bai family.
When Lei Luo came to the door of this cloth shop, the shopkeeper of the cloth shop was already waiting at the door, as soon as he saw Bai Muling get off the sedan chair, the shopkeeper of the cloth shop accompanied him with a smiling face to greet him personally, until he entered the cloth shop hall, he was in front of the saddle and behind the horse, for fear that this Miss Bai family would feel dissatisfied, and the inspection work after that was carried out relatively smoothly.
Bai Muling just went to the account room to reconcile the accounts, and after finding a few female workers in the cloth shop, and after asking about some work matters, he got up in a sedan chair and left in the earnest compliments of the shopkeeper.
Lei Luo watched Bai Muling check the goods and communicate with the female worker, what he did was extremely familiar, the head was the way, and he was smiling until the end, giving people a feeling of spring breeze, and he couldn't help but look at this young lady's ability a little higher.
Next, Lei Luo saw the richness of the Bai family's industry, not only the cloth shop, clothing, food, housing and transportation, inns, restaurants, dart boards, and even casinos and other Fengyue places, Bai Muling took Lei Luo to inspect them one by one.
When entering the Qinglou, Lei Luo also paid a little attention to Bai Muling's expression, and then gave up after seeing that the other party's complexion was as usual without a trace of fluctuation, and when he finally checked the accounts and talked to people, this Miss Bai was meticulous without any discomfort, he secretly praised that his own young lady's qi cultivation kung fu was really unfathomable, and his face did not change when he entered the Qinglou.
The patrol continued until the evening, and when Bai Muling specially instructed Lei Luo to pay careful attention, they had already come to the last place, which was a ceramic craft workshop, and before Lei Luo understood what to pay attention to, Bai Mu Ling had already entered this workshop first, and he could only follow closely.
This workshop is a small two-story building, in front of the first floor is a place similar to an exhibition hall, where there are several wooden cabinets, which are filled with a dazzling array of porcelain, and Bai Mu Ling is talking to a white-haired old man, when Lei Luo approached, Bai Mu Ling was under the guidance of the old man, ready to go upstairs.
Lei Luo could only follow in confusion, accompanied by four or five men dressed as helpers in the workshop, in addition to the white-haired old man.
In a window room on the second floor, Bai Muling was checking the ledger as before, flipping through the heavy ledger word by word, thanks to the patience of this young lady of the Bai family, Lei Luo Ke stood next to him for a long time.
When he saw that these helpers had calluses on their hands and a trace of blood on their bodies, he was secretly curious, as if these people were not the masters who would do things in a down-to-earth manner, I don't know if it was the manpower arranged by the Bai family like this, or if there was something wrong with these people!
As if thinking of something, Lei Luo frowned secretly as he slowly approached Bai Muling imperceptibly.
"Shopkeeper Wu, is there a discrepancy between the account books of the workshop and the account books of the account room at home recently," as if he had found something wrong, Bai Muling suddenly asked.
Although he asked a question, Bai Muling's head never raised, as if he really just asked casually.
"Miss, what are you talking about, Lao Wu, I have been diligent and diligent for the Bai family for more than ten years, but I have never made a mistake, you are suspicious of Lao Wu and me," the white-haired old man, that is, the shopkeeper Wu, explained to Bai Muling in a tone as if he had been wronged.
Lei Luo secretly gave the old man a thumbs up in his heart, because the other party really acted as if he had been wronged, and there was a trace of tears in the corners of his eyes, he was really good at acting!
"It seems that I was dazzled by a mistake for a while, and wronged the shopkeeper Wu, and the little woman is here to compensate you," Bai Muling also showed a look of admitting his mistake, and really made a respectful apology to the shopkeeper Wu.
"This, this, Miss, you can't help it, you are tormenting Old Wu, please sit down," the shopkeeper Wu stepped forward to help Miss in fear, for fear that Bai Muling, the descendant of the Bai family, would salute him.
Just kidding, he is at most an outer door shopkeeper, how can he ask the lady of the main family to apologize to him, that is a violation of the rules.
"Shopkeeper Wu, since I have compensated you here, can you accompany me to the Bai family for a walk, after all, there is a guy in your workshop who fled to the Bai family a few days ago and said some bad things about you to the family, I am not here to invite you to come over, I have given enough courtesy, when will you leave here?" After Bai Muling saluted, the tone of his words suddenly changed, and his words became sharp.
At the same time, he glanced at Lei Luo, which meant that there would be some unexpected situations later, so he had better prepare.
Lei Luo understood, his figure flashed, and he stood half a step behind Bai Muling, and at the same time, his face was straight, and there was a trace of murderous aura in the corner of his eyes, as if he was about to make a move.
"Miss, Lao Wu, I am loyal to the Bai family, who is talking nonsense over there and framing Lao Wu, Lao Wu, I am dedicated to the Bai family, you also know all these years, there has never been a mistake here in the workshop," Shopkeeper Wu hurriedly defended after hearing Bai Muling's words.
He never expected that this Miss Bai would come to such a hand and give him a salute before a soldier.
However, this shopkeeper Wu has been in business for decades, and he has never seen any big scenes, this little trick can't scare him, and he is ready to deny it first, as for the next thing, it depends on the other party's attitude.
Lei Luo also saw it, although this shopkeeper Wu was justifying his tone, but his mind was not here, as if he was waiting for someone, that look was fearless, and the panicked look on his face seemed to be pretended, just like an actor, here he also had to admire, and secretly praised the other party in his heart for a good show!
Just when Bai Muling wanted to open his mouth and refute the shopkeeper Wu, a steady footstep came from the stairs of the workshop, and the sound sounded like it was not a good stubble, and he looked menacing.
Hearing this footstep, Shopkeeper Wu changed his panicked look just now, and a sneer appeared on his face, which made Bai Muling's face change, and it seemed that the other party was waiting for something.
"Could it be that this shopkeeper Wu is really a rebel and wants to leave the Bai family and join other families, or?" Bai Muling thought in his heart.
Lei Luo, on the other hand, had a calm face, and the fierce aura just now had dissipated a lot, because he didn't find any masters nearby, and behind him, it was safe here.
"It's worthy of Miss Bai Mu Lingbai, I really can't afford to lose a little bit in my mouth," a voice that seemed to be teasing came up from the stairs first.
