"Old ...... Lord......"

"What's the panic? The sky hasn't fallen yet. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Looking at the old butler who was kneeling in front of him, who had been assisting him wholeheartedly since he took over the position of head of the family, Situ Lou was extremely calm. Compared with the old housekeeper's crying and mourning face, Situ Lou's appearance at this time made Situ Lei feel a little uneasy.

At this moment, it is getting late, the city gate is locked, Jiangning is like a big prison, except for those people wearing official uniforms, no one can get out. Not to mention yesterday's case that was characterized by the government as "a big thief killing people and robbing money", and there were no pedestrians on the street at this time. Whenever there is some wind and grass, the officials patrolling the avenue can see it clearly. Under Zhan Yunqin's strict orders, Jiangning may not be a few points worse than at the time of the battle.

In this environment, except for the bitter lord Sikong Lone, there are only people from the two major families who have the ability to walk on the street openly.

As a fellow martial artist, he is a friend of the Sikong family on the surface, and the Situ family naturally has to come forward to help Sikong Gu find the gold that was "buried by the Divine Gate". Even if it's just a façade, it has to be done beautifully, so that the people in the rivers and lakes can't say half a word of gossip, and it is best to leave a good reputation.

So, today, the Chu family and the Situ family almost mobilized a total of 1,000 people to search the entire Jiangning, several big inns in Jiangning were their own territory, and the suburbs were also full of Chu family and Situ family eyeliner, eighty catties of gold is not so easy to hide, and finding gold is a fantasy for Situ Lou.

However, less than half an hour after the manpower was dispatched, the old housekeeper hurriedly broke into the small hall, and Zhuge Hui was still reporting on today's "encirclement and suppression of the Divine Gate". Although Zhuge Hui is the chief manager, the chief manager only coordinates the people of the outer courtyard of the Situ family, and the core of the real inner courtyard has always been in the hands of the Situ family, because Situ Lei often performs tasks outside, and the old housekeeper is actually the controller of the inner courtyard of the Situ family.

Don't look at the old housekeeper who is over the age and his eyes are yellow, but neither Zhuge Hui nor Situ Lei dare to say that he can be trusted by Situ Lou more than him. In fact, in a conflict with the Chu family a few years ago, the Situ family's Qian Xiang distribution was essentially controlled by this old housekeeper. But don't underestimate the distribution of this money, the major martial arts families want people to be driven by it, in addition to having "righteousness" in their mouths, they must also let others have "silver money" in their pockets, one side is fame, and the other side is ringing money, so that the two-pronged approach can only be handy when using people.

Some people can betray their parents for fame, some people can slash their wives and children for money, and those who don't love fame and money in the rivers and lakes are either hacked to death early, or they have seen through the red dust to face this green lantern ancient Buddha. How to "feed" the people under his command is a science among the major families, and only those who understand human nature can keep everyone on the golden thread of dissatisfaction, which can neither satisfy people nor disappoint. This is also the reason why the old housekeeper is too old, and Situ Lou also asked him to secretly be responsible for the expenditure of money in the inner courtyard, and even Zhuge Hui can become the head of the outer house, which is inseparable from the old housekeeper's strong recommendation.

Because of this, when the old housekeeper broke into the small hall in a panic, Zhuge Hui was so shocked that the folding fan in his hand almost fell to the ground.

When he explained what had happened, Situ Lou couldn't help but take a breath of cool air.

"Yes, but they ......"

"Bai'er fell into their hands and became a witness? is what they said?" Situ Lou lowered his head, not knowing whether he was hiding his expression, or if he was really thoughtful.

The old butler's wrinkled face was full of panic: "No, it was the head catcher surnamed Zhan who said it." ”

Zhuge Hui asked, "How can it be the second young master......?"

Situ Lou raised his head suddenly, and Zhuge Hui immediately closed his mouth, and the folding fan in his hand couldn't help fanning the hot air.

"In this way, Sikong Gu and they think that the Divine Gate is wronged?" Situ Lei's question was not ignored by Situ Lou.

"Bai'er is in Yamen now?"

"Yes. ”

Situ Lou stood up, glanced at Situ Lei deeply, and said to Zhuge Hui: "Bai Ersheng is a member of the Situ family, and death is also the ghost of the Situ family, the Situ family has been based in Jiangning for so many years, and has never suffered such humiliation as today......"

"Master, let's leave immediately. Situ Lei naturally understood what Situ Lou meant, stood up and nodded, and responded.

"Wei Sheng, Lao Lei and I will go with a few people first, and you and Zhang Lao will have a lot of people in case of accidents. ”

Leaving this sentence, Situ Lou immediately set off and rushed to the yamen.

"Teacher, the apprentice has something unclear, shouldn't the strong man break his wrist at this time and draw his salary from the bottom of the kettle? Why does the head of the family refuse to give it up?"

Zhuge Hui watched Situ Lou hurriedly take a few good hands and go away with Situ Lei, so he asked the old butler with cloudy eyes beside him.

"Wei Sheng, do you know why I took you as an apprentice in the first place?"

"This ......" Zhuge Hui didn't expect the old housekeeper to ask this question, and in the midst of the fire, he only thought for a moment, and then shook to show that he was puzzled.

"Now Sikong Gu and Zhan Yunqin have found gold on the territory of our Situ family, and they also happened to meet Young Master Bai, how do you think we should break our wrists? How to go to the bottom of the kettle to draw salary? Your biggest problem is not that your brain is not clever enough, but that you can often only see the next step or the next few steps, your vision is too short, and you don't have the ability to know the overall situation after one son. Corner kills are your forte, but if you are asked to lay out, I'm afraid that you will lose all the games at the beginning. ”

The old butler paused, although he was over the age of old, his voice did not show his age, although it was a little hoarse, but it could be called clear. I don't know how many times this voice has been worn in Zhuge Hui's ears, but only this time made Zhuge Hui feel deeply guilty.

"I want you to open your eyes, see everything clearly, and practice your layout ability, so I recommend you to be the head of this outer courtyard, the master knows your ability, and he is extremely aware of your shortcomings, but he, like me, thinks that you, a corner duel extremely good chess player, will one day be able to broaden your horizons and grow up. ”

"In vain...... The apprentice is ashamed of his trust in the teacher and the head of the family. ”

Zhuge Hui lowered his head deeply, in addition to feeling guilty and ashamed, he didn't want his teacher to see the thing that was rolling in his eyes.

"That surnamed Sikong is just a weak crown, right? This kind of method is really clever, I seem to understand how the Cao Gang won in Yangzhou. This time, Young Master Bai was calculated by Sikong Gu, and the second son of Yangdaomen was calculated, this guy repeated his old tricks, but I didn't find out until this moment. It's old, old. ”

"What does the teacher mean......" Zhuge Hui's eyes were red, but the four big words "unbelievable" were written on his face.

"It's a pity that he chose the wrong opponent, this is Jiangning, not Yangzhou, and we are not stupid people like Yangdaomen, let's gather our manpower, let's start a counterattack." ”

Although the old housekeeper was smiling at this time, Zhuge Hui felt that there was something in his smile that was difficult for him to understand.
