It was agreed that tomorrow he would have a banquet at the largest restaurant in Xiacai Town to entertain Heng Liuye, and Zhuge Yi personally sent Yuan Xu out.This time, Yuan Xu walked through the main gate and left, which was considered to have fulfilled his face.Zhuge Yi returned to the small courtyard where he lived to bathe and change clothes, and Steward Liu personally served him, not daring to make a sound throughout the whole process.It wasn't until Zhuge Yi sat on the couch in front of the window and looked through the account books that he cautiously stepped forward with tea."
Master, Heng Liuye's son has done evil and brought disaster to the township, if he continues, he may lose the hearts of the people and damage the prestige of the master.""
What does the bad morality of the Yang father and son have to do with me?
If you don't say it, who will know that the person behind the Yang father and son is me?
”Zhuge Yi retorted coldly, and looked at the account book at a glance.Steward Liu said cautiously: "Master, Heng Liuye is not worthy of the position, it's time to change." ”Zhuge Yi's hand turned the account page slightly, glanced at Steward Liu, and asked in a cold voice: "Who to change?"
You?
”"The old slave doesn't dare!"
Steward Liu was so frightened that he knelt down, his forehead trembling against the ground.Zhuge Yi took the pen to check off the wrong accounts and ignored Steward Liu.An old slave who dares to be disrespectful to his little girl, what is the use of the old slave who dares to try to rebel from a distance with the emperor of Tiangao?"
Master, the shadow guard sent to Anfeng City has returned."
The ghost guard embroidered with the charm totem on his sleeve and arm appeared, leading a masked man in black inside.The masked man in black knelt down and bowed his hand: "My lord, there is indeed a family in Anfeng City who has lost their daughter, and her appearance, age, and disappearance are similar to Miss Lanyue.This is the situation found out by the subordinates, please read it to the master. ”Zhuge Yi then unfolded, and the whole five sheets of paper detailed Lan Yue's life experience, her family's situation, the places she had traveled since her disappearance, and the people she knew."
Good."
It seems that Lan Yue is telling the truth.Zhuge Yi rolled up five pieces of paper and put them on the candle to burn the ashes, and waved his hand to order the ghost guard and the shadow guard to retreat.Only Steward Liu was left on his knees and trembling."
Master, the slave and maid are Qingluo, and I have something to tell you.""
Come in!"
Zhuge Yi opened an account book again and read it, feeling irritable for no reason.was worried that she would not feel at ease if she changed her residence, so she wanted to accompany her after reading the account books.Unexpectedly, he was entangled in many things, so he only finished reading three account books.Qingluo came in as ordered, and saw Steward Liu kneeling on the ground trembling, her beautiful eyes flashing fiercely.If it weren't for the fact that he was the housekeeper of the Gu Mansion and the master's confidant, she would have wiped his neck with a sword.Zhuge Yi noticed the murderous aura from Qingluo, his sword eyebrows frowned slightly, his dragon eyes were angry, and when he looked up at her, he found that her murderous aura was aimed at Steward Liu."
What?""
Master, it's the little master's private matter."
Qingluo restrained her killing intent and bowed her head."
Ghost Guard, lead the people out."
Zhuge Yi shouted, and the ghost guard embroidered with the charm totem on his sleeve and arm really appeared.When Qingluo's face turned pale and Steward Liu relaxed instantly, the ghost guard lifted Steward Liu's collar and left."
Say.""
Yes."
Qingluo stepped forward respectfully, lowered her voice and whispered: "The eldest girl said that the Jiangnan trade route is prosperous, and it is worth the trip if she can help the master build a force in Jiangnan."
She made up her mind to help her master fight with the four families of Jiangnan, and she could grab as much as she could. ”"Hah!
is really my good apprentice, and it is not in vain that I treat her with true affection. ”Zhuge Yi smiled softly, and the tiresome account book in his hand became pleasing to the eye.He sat still and looked through the account books and asked, "What is she doing?"
”Qingluo was slightly stunned and said, "The eldest girl is eating, and she said that she was not full for dinner." ”"Make more soft and glutinous food, and let her eat less, don't hurt her stomach.""
The slave obeys."
Seeing that Zhuge Yi had no intention of accompanying Haitang, and no longer commanded, Qingluo bowed and left quietly.When he walked out of the courtyard gate, it happened that the ghost guard came to meet him.When the two of them staggered by, she smelled the bloody smell on the ghost guard's body, and guessed that Steward Liu had fled Huangquan at this moment.Born in the dark pavilion, Qingluo is used to life and death, killing, and blood.A person who does not have loyalty, filial piety, and righteousness in his heart, even if he becomes a noble status above ten thousand people under one person, he cannot hide the meanness in his bones.The ghost guard disposed of Steward Liu, came back to report to Zhuge Yi, and also revealed the incident of the coincidental encounter with Qingluo outside the courtyard gate.Zhuge Yi flipped through the last account book and said coldly: "Qingluo is loyal to Begonia, different from Mai Miao, you can spare her."
That Lan Yue, you have to find a way to take her to Anfeng City to meet her family, and you can't reveal your identity. ”"My subordinates understand."
The ghost guard was ordered to leave.Zhuge Yi closed the account book, saw the bright moonlight outside the window, and thought that Cheng Lan's proposal might be taken.On this trip to Jiangnan, he had two long-cherished wishes.One is to give her freedom, and the other is to accompany her through ups and downs.Since they left Ciyu Town and left the Cold Night Valley, the spies of the Eight Great Clans have never stopped tracking.Especially on the night of Bicaopopo, the shadow guards and secret guards captured as many as 100 spies, which shows that the ruling masters of the eight major clans are not at ease with him and Begonia.Cheng Lan offered him a plan twice, using the disfigured Lan Yue instead of Begonia to cover people's eyes, and he took Begonia to visit a famous doctor.Three years is enough time for them to build their own trade routes in Jiangnan, and when the time comes, the eight major clans will definitely agree to abolish the ancestral rules of immortal maid sacrifices for the sake of Jiangnan's trade routes and wealth.Zhuge Yi ridiculed Cheng Lan for being too naïve, and the eight clans may let Li Haitang go, but it doesn't mean that the girls from other families will escape the ascension.Just like his own sister Zhuge Ying, she was deceived into becoming a living sacrifice in the Xian Pavilion instead of the ancestor of the Wu family.However, Cheng Lan's idea is not too bad, at least one sentence is right.Three years is enough time for him to train Begonia to become the second female businessman in the world.With his behind-the-scenes planning, Haitang is a smart and resourceful little girl, and the trip to Jiangnan can indeed fulfill many wishes, which is also in line with his original second plan: to accompany her through ups and downs."
Master, the little master is here."
The shadow guard appeared, pulling back Zhuge Yi's thoughts."
Please come in."
Putting down the open account books, Zhuge Yi decided to teach her the ability to read the account books from tonight.As the shadow guard opened the door, a crisp sound of the jade hairpin ring came from outside, followed by the sound of the little girl directing the little maids to carry things in.Zhuge Yi put on a robe and walked out of the inner room, and the dragon's eyes doted on the little girl.Feeling the two burning gazes behind her, sniffing the faint smell of royal tribute sandalwood, Li Haitang knew that he was behind him, turned around to face him, she covered her little face with a snow pa, and said in a delicate and gentle voice."
Master won't come to accompany me, I'll accompany Master.""
Well, well done."
As long as she is happy, he will obey everything.Li Haitang saw that the little servants had placed the ingredients, charcoal pots and small pots, and waved his hand: "Let's go and get the reward." ”"Thank you, little master."
The little ones bowed and thanked each other happily and quietly walked out of the house.Zhuge Yi looked at this group of money-greedy little guys, it seems that the Gu Mansion is lawless under the management of Steward Liu.He quietly gestured behind his hands, and the ghost guard in the shadows immediately took action.Li Haitang, who was in the dark, rolled up his sleeves to prepare the ingredients, and said with a smile: "This group of little guys is really sensible, they will do whatever I say." ”Zhuge Yi's expression was indifferent, and he quietly came to her side and took off the snow pa that covered his face, and asked softly, "Do you want to cook food for me with your own hands?"
”"Make something soft and glutinous, so as not to hurt your stomach."
Li Haitang cut open the white, tender and juicy radish with a knife, and said with a smile: "Lan Yue is missing, was it ordered by the master to be driven away?"
”Zhuge Yijian frowned slightly, glaring at her unhappily.() Glory to the end
