For the next few days, the mantis' only task was to get the interior drawings of the Xiao Mansion. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoFrom that day on, the praying mantis would go around the old housekeeper's house if he had anything to do. The old housekeeper's child is a carpenter in Nanjing, and his grandson is also three years old this year.

The praying mantis is very shrewd and never goes to the old butler empty-handed. Either take something to use, or eat something. Several times I came to the house, and basically replaced some old furniture and utensils at home. Except for the old housekeeper, who didn't welcome the mantis, the rest of the family wanted the mantis to come a few more times.

When the praying mantis came to the door for the second time, after distributing the gifts. The old butler called the praying mantis into the room alone and asked, "You have been here twice in the past two days, you should have something to look for me." But I'm idle at home now, and my son is a carpenter, so I guess I can't help you much. ”

"I really can't hide anything from you, I really have something to ask for. When the praying mantis heard this, he looked into the housekeeper's eyes and smiled. After speaking, the praying mantis sat down in a chair first, and then made a gesture to sit down.

The housekeeper frowned slightly, sat down, and said with some hesitation: "You might as well listen to it, and I'll see if I can help you." ”

"That's right, my master wants to expand the house, so he sent a lot of people to look for the drawings of the house. My mission is Lord Xiao's house. However, when I went to Xiao Mansion to ask, Lord Xiao's family beat me up and drove me out. So I found you, hoping you could help me. The praying mantis told the reason he had made up at the beginning, and at the same time looked at the butler sincerely, hoping that he would agree.

When the butler heard this, he first looked at the praying mantis carefully, and his intuition told him that this matter could not be so simple. Listening to the praying mantis's Da Song accent, I thought of Xiao Jiaci's assassination before. He smiled a little, didn't answer the question, and said, "Oh, that's a bit difficult." By the way, where is your master from?" asked the butler rhetorically.

The praying mantis was a little surprised when he heard the butler ask. The housekeeper's question, the praying mantis guessed that the housekeeper might have guessed something from the few words just now. The praying mantis didn't answer, but pointed to the guide side.

The butler nodded, then thought about it. After that, the butler exhaled and said to the praying mantis, "I want to help you too, but it's a pity." When people are old, their minds are not good. I just thought about it, and I can't remember the structure of our Guo Mansion, I can't help, I can't help. "Guo Mansion is Xiao Mansion, but the owner has just changed.

The butler stood up as he spoke, shook his hand, and then put his hand behind his back, and walked out without looking at the praying mantis. The mantis's eyes narrowed, and his right hand clenched into a fist.

After a while, the praying mantis let go of its grip and clenched its hand, and said in his heart: "I don't believe that you old man is so stubborn, I will come every day in the future, and I will grind you to death." ”

In the next few days, everything went in an orderly manner, that is, the housekeeper couldn't find a breakthrough, and the praying mantis was stuck here.

From that day on, Zhao Xiaoyong's task became intelligence collation. Qiao Feng also persuaded Zhao Xiaoyong with a set of theories that the son of a daughter can't sit down. Zhao Xiaoyong came to Nanjing and wanted to have a good look, but now it's good, it's hard to go out.

The three praying mantis and Liushuang were responsible for going out to find out information, while Qiao Feng wandered around the Xiao Mansion at night, recording the rules of the guards' patrols and drawing the structure of the Xiao Mansion's periphery.

Xiao Jiaci lives a very regular life, going out in the morning and going home in the evening. is like a turtle with a shrunken head, never taking the initiative to reveal his life.

When everything was almost ready, Zhao Xiaoyong found the mantis in the hall and asked, "How is it?"

The praying mantis nodded, and then said with some distress: "I have used all the methods in the past few days, and he refuses to say anything." ”

When Zhao Xiaoyong heard this, he sat down with the praying mantis. After thinking about it for a while, he laughed and said, "This housekeeper is really happy. So be it, the conditions are a little higher. I can send them back to Da Song, buy them a house, and find them a stable job, so it should be fine." ”

After Zhao Xiaoyong finished speaking, the praying mantis looked at Zhao Xiaoyong in surprise. Then he shook his head slightly and said, "Isn't this condition a bit too high?" And there is another question, will this expose us, after all, it is our people who send them out. ”

"The conditions are not very high. If we succeed and Da Liao tracks him down, he will be unlucky, and it is better to send him back to Da Song. As for the issue of exposure, I have also thought about it, give him some money and let him go back on his own. For such a large city, the disappearance of a family of five should not be a big deal. They found out, and we're a hundred miles away. Zhao Xiaoyong smiled after hearing this.

When the praying mantis heard this, he nodded, but he didn't speak yet. At this time, Zhao Xiaoyong's eyes narrowed, his voice became cold, and he said, "If he still doesn't say anything, you know what to do, right?"

The praying mantis looked at Zhao Xiaoyong's eyes with coldness, lowered his head unnaturally, and said, "The villain knows, the villain will do it immediately." At the same time, he said in his heart: "This Zhao Gongzi has such a strong aura, and his eyes are so scary." It's like the commander in the army. ”

Seeing that Zhao Xiaoyong nodded, the praying mantis immediately retreated, and said in his heart: "Butler, today is your last chance, seize it, don't force me." The praying mantis went back to his room, stuck his dagger into his boot, and visited the butler again.

After the housekeeper opened the door, he saw that the praying mantis came again. Shaking his head, he said, "I forgot, why don't you believe it." ”

"This is the last time I'm here, I'm going back tomorrow, and I want to try again. By the way, I've been standing in the doorway, so it's not quite right. The praying mantis said with a smile.

Before the housekeeper could say anything, his wife saw the praying mantis and greeted him cordially, "Come on, come in." After saying that, he also opened the half door that was covered by the butler. However, seeing that the praying mantis didn't take anything, his smile froze for a moment, and he still let the praying mantis in.

"Auntie, don't be busy. I came this time to talk to my uncle and leave soon. The praying mantis saw that the housekeeper's wife was going to prepare tea, and hurriedly said.

When the housekeeper heard this, he first nodded to his wife, and then said to the praying mantis, "Okay, let's go to the house and talk." ”

Entering the house, the praying mantis first looked left and right, and said directly: "I think you might guess something, so I don't want to say, it's okay." I'll tell you my floor now, think about it. I can send your whole family to Da Song and find you a house, no worse than this, and a stable job, that's all. What do you think?" After saying that, the praying mantis stared at the butler, and his answer decided his life and death.

When the housekeeper heard this, he felt that the praying mantis's tone was a little cold, and said hesitantly: "What if I say no?"

"Our boss said that in such a big city, let a few people disappear, and they still can't find it in a few days. The praying mantis smiled a little, then continued.

"That's a threat?" replied with a frown as the butler looked at the mantis's hand.

"Whatever you want. We are all Song people, shouldn't we help each other? Besides, don't you want to avenge your lord? Finally, you also think about your adorable little grandson. The praying mantis took out its dagger, like a jagged tooth on the mantis's body, and gestured to its opponent in an attacking stance.

The butler looked at the dagger in the mantis's hand and looked out of the house. sighed, and said helplessly: "You won, but I want to see your boss and tell him face to face." ”

"That's fine, when would you like to meet?" the praying mantis asked after a moment's thought. At the same time put the dagger back.

"Right now, say it early. Wouldn't I have been able to go to Da Song earlier? It's not safe to stay here all the time. The butler asked, standing up, stretching his waist.

"Of course. After the praying mantis finished speaking, he stood behind the butler. If the butler wants to run, the praying mantis can catch him at any time.

The housekeeper said to his wife, and followed the mantis to the Longmen Wine Workshop.

"Your boss is quite rich. The butler saw the sign at the door and smiled.

"It's okay. Well, he's very talkative, don't mention too difficult requests, he can meet everything else. The praying mantis prompted, he still didn't care about the butler.
