Early the next morning, Zhang Xiaoyi came over with a few servants and accompanied Wei Wuxian to receive Zhuangzi.

On the way, Wei Wuxian learned that the Ling steward who was now in charge of Zhuangzili was a talent in this county, called Ling Molin.

Ling Xiucai has some talent, but after falling down several times, he gave up his heart to enter the office, did some idle work in the county, and was hired by He Xinyin to be the steward of Zhuangzi some time ago.

The group soon came to Zhuangzi, and the tenants who were working in the fields looked at them nervously, and the servants were big people who could not afford to offend in the eyes of these farmers, and they didn't know what was going on.

Such a big momentum naturally alarmed the people in Zhuangzi. When Wei Wuxian and the others came to the gate of Zhuangzi, a young man wearing a square crown and an ochre-colored Confucian robe led four or five servants out, and glanced at Wei Wuxian, and the young Confucian said to Zhang Xiaoyi: "Zhang Bantou, what are you doing here with this mighty man?"

Zhang Xiaoyi got Dong Shuyan's instructions, where would he put a poor Xiucai in his eyes, and said: "Steward Ling, Hugh is rude, this is the new master of Zhuangzi, Wei Gongzi, don't hurry up and knock to see you, I don't have to fold your blessings." ”

"New master, Zhang Bantou, don't talk nonsense, be careful that I go up with a piece of paper, and sue you for the crime of trying to embezzle private property, you can't afford it. ”

Zhang Xiaoyi was about to speak, but was blocked by Wei Wuxian with one hand, took out the title deed and handed it over together.

The young Confucian suspiciously took the title deed and the body deed, examined it carefully, and the expression on his face became ugly.

Of course, the title deed and the body deed will not be fake, not to mention that there are also messengers under Si Hu joining the army on the side, and the land deed and body deed will be returned to Wei Wuxian at the moment: "The land deed and the body deed are not fake, I don't know where He Gong is now?"

"He's dead. Wei Wuxian said lightly.

"Dead..."

"Steward Ling, how about summoning everyone to Zhuangzi first?"

Ling Molin sobered up from the shock: "Please go into the Zhuangzi and wait for a while, I will go down and make arrangements." ”

Wei Wuxian nodded, and casually threw the ingot of silver to Zhang Xiaoyi: "You guys go back first!"

Zhang Xiaoyi took the silver, felt that there were two or three taels, and happily bowed down and took the officials away.

The scale of Zhuangzi is not small, there are all kinds of water pavilions and terraces inside, and a group of people walked through the gallery and entered a large house with green tiles.

Wei Wuxian sat on the main seat and drank tea, and the maids all knew that this was their own master in the future, so they all waited carefully on the side, not daring to be careless.

After about a quarter of an hour, everyone was summoned to the open space outside the house.

Ling Molin said: "Son, except for the two ladies, everyone else is together. ”

Wei Wuxian didn't expect He Xinyin to have a wife and concubine left here, and said, "Let's order it first!"

Ling Molin responded and began to point out one by one according to the list, Wei Wuxian had an excellent memory, and he had already memorized the names of the eighty-six servants and maids in Zhuangzi, and now he compared them one by one without speaking.

Soon the personnel were all counted, and Ling Molin handed the roster to Wei Wuxian and said, "Childe, do you want to count the other materials now?"

Wei Wuxian shook his head and said, "No need." I still need someone to take care of this Zhuangzi, Ling Steward, are you willing to stay?"

Ling Molin was thinking about where he should go next, because under normal circumstances, the new master would let his own people manage Zhuangzi. What's more, the new owner is called a son by Zhang Xiaoyi, so he is naturally noble, and there will be no one around. So when he suddenly heard Wei Wuxian's words, he was stunned for a while, and then bowed down and said: "The son can be trusted, and he dares to disobey his orders." ”

"Okay! From today on, everything here will be taken care of by you, Steward Ling, don't let me down!"

Ling Molin said: "I will live up to the trust of my son!"

Wei Wuxian asked about some things in Zhuangzi again.

This Zhuangzi is 300 acres large, of which 100 acres are building complexes, and 200 acres of fields, which are cultivated by tenants, and can also harvest 600 stone of grain in a season, which is enough for the chewing in the Zhuangzi. Now there are 328 taels of silver remaining in the account, more than 400 stones of grain, and a number of other fish, meat and vegetables.

In addition: there are fifty-four male servants in the courtyard, equipped with ten bows, more than 100 guns and sticks, and people are arranged to patrol day and night.

Wei Wuxian saw Ling Molin say casually, obviously putting in the effort, and was satisfied, and said, "Take me to see the two ladies!"

"Yes. ”

Ling Molin knew that He Xinyin was dead, and those two little ladies could only rely on their new masters, otherwise they would not be able to survive in this world at all.

Two beauties live in the same courtyard, both of them have excellent appearances, and they are still perfect, which is extremely rare. Wei Wuxian was in his youth, and it was impossible to say that he had no desire for the two beauties, but he still held a glimmer of hope for the advanced foundation building realm, and he didn't dare to break his body before laying the Dao foundation.

Wei Wuxian forcibly endured the desire in his heart to come out of the courtyard, explained Ling Molin's good life, and told him some more things, and hurried back to the Jade Bottle Pass.

He is the commander of the Yuping Pass, and he cannot stay outside for a long time, and this time it has already taken two days, and now it is at the time when the peace talks between the two countries have broken down, and it is inevitable that there will be problems if he does not go back.

It was already night when Wei Wuxian arrived at the Jade Bottle Pass, and the lights in the camp were blazing, and it was obvious that something had happened.

He crept in, and saw a crowd of people on the periphery of his tent.

"Deputy Commander Shen, what should I do, the scouts in front have already probed thirty miles away, and a large force of Northern Barbarian cavalry has appeared!"

Shen Tao said: "What are you panicking, when the commander comes back, there will naturally be arrangements, what do you all look like here." ”

"Deputy Commander Shen, those Northern Barbarians may be attacking the city early tomorrow morning, the commander is not here, you can make arrangements first, otherwise I can sleep soundly where I can. ”

"Yes, the situation is urgent, and I guess the commander will not be blamed when he returns. ”

Wei Wuxian told Shen Tao before leaving, asking him not to act rashly, so although he felt that the situation was serious, he still insisted on waiting for Wei Wuxian to come back.

Just as he was about to open his mouth to reprimand a few of his men, a familiar voice came from behind.

"What's the matter, it's noisy, forget about military regulations!"

Wei Wuxian's voice calmed everyone down at once, and several of the guys who were making a lot of noise hurriedly shrank back.

But it was already late, the crowd flickered away, Wei Wuxian walked to the front, and after Shen Tao and the others saw the salute, he pointed to the opposite side: "You, you, and you, all come out for me, and go to your captain to get ten military sticks." ”

"My lord..."

Wei Wuxian's face sank: "Twenty military sticks!"

Immediately, no one dared to speak out, and obediently walked to his captain.

Wei Wuxian looked at Shen Tao: "If the control is not strict, you will also receive ten military sticks, and Song Zhe will be responsible for the execution." Then he went into his tent.

Shen Tao smiled wryly and said to Song Zhe on the other side: "Come on!"

Everyone was stunned, but they didn't expect Wei Wuxian to not even let Shen Tao go, and he really achieved the ruthlessness of military law.
