The two people walked eastward along the street in Zhuangzi. When they were almost out of Zhuangzi, they saw a house with green bricks and green tiles in front of them.

"It should be this one." Zheng Dahu said.

Compared with the adobe houses of the surrounding people, the brick house in front is extremely conspicuous.

Xu Shunqing said bitterly: "Damn it, our Xu family sold him at a good price, and his servant actually lives better than me, the eldest young master."

Zheng Dahu turned his head and said coldly: "If you dare to ruin the affairs of Lord Guard, be careful of your life."

"Yes, yes, yes, Mr. Zheng, don't worry, I will never mess around." Xu Shunqing bowed with a flattering look on his face.

Zheng Dahu snorted, ignored him, and walked towards the brick house.

Standing in front of the gate, he raised his hand and patted the courtyard door several times.

Xu Shunqing, who was standing behind, said: "Do you need to be so polite to a servant like him? Just barge in."

After hearing this, Zheng Dahu turned around and glared at him fiercely.

Xu Shunqing hurriedly closed her mouth.

"Who is it? Wait a minute!"

In the courtyard, a woman's voice came, mixed with the sound of footsteps.

Soon, the courtyard door was opened, and a middle-aged woman leaned out from behind the door and asked, "Who are you looking for?"

Zheng Dahu cupped his hands and said politely: "Excuse me, sister-in-law, we are from Lingqiu City and want to find Butler Xu."

"Do you need to be so polite to him? He is just a servant of my Xu family." Xu Shunqing, who was standing behind, muttered in a low voice.

The woman had not noticed the person behind Zheng Dahu at first, but when she heard the voice, she subconsciously looked over. When she saw the person's appearance clearly, her expression suddenly changed.

Noticing the woman's sudden expression, Zheng Dahu knew that he had found the wrong person. This should be Xu Laifu's residence.

"What? Don't you know how to salute when you see me, the eldest young master of the Xu family?" Xu Shunqing stood up from behind Zheng Dahu.

"I have seen the young master." The woman bowed in a panic.

Xu Shunqing's nostrils turned up and he snorted coldly in response.

After the woman finished her salute, she said: "Young master, please come in quickly. Xu... the housekeeper is in the house. I will call him."

"Go and call someone here, I want to see you." After saying that, Xu Shunqing walked into the yard with his hands behind his back.

Zheng Dahu followed and walked in.

Before they could approach the main house at the back of the yard, they saw a middle-aged man walking out of the door, holding a purple clay pot in his hand. They heard him say: "Who is here?"

"It's the young master who is here." The woman hurriedly replied.

Needless to say, Xu Laifu had already seen Xu Shunqing in the yard and was immediately stunned.

"Butler Xu, if you see this young master coming, why don't you come over quickly? Do you think you have to wait for me to come over to invite you?" Xu Shunqing stood in the yard with a thorny expression.

Xu Laifu reacted, put down the purple teapot in his hand, walked quickly into the yard, came to Xu Shunqing, saluted, and said: "I have met the eldest young master."

Xu Shunqing put his hands behind his back and walked directly past Xu Laifu. He looked up and down at the yard and house in front of him and said with a sneer: "The brick house is not bad, not bad. Butler, you are living a good life! Better than a young master like me."

Everything is fine, it seems that my Xu family is in bad luck, you, the big butler, are so full of food."

Xu Laifu hurriedly defended: "As for the eldest young master, I serve you as my duty and I don't dare to slack off at all. This yard and house are not my own."

"If it's not yours, how can it be covered by the tiger flag for you?" Xu Shunqing said with a cold face, "Who do you think you are? You are just a dog raised by my Xu family. You got everything you have today by betraying my Xu family."

The corners of Xu Laifu's mouth twitched and he lowered his head and said nothing.

"That's enough." Zheng Dahu on the side spoke.

Xu Shunqing originally wanted to curse a few more words, but at this time he had to suppress his words.

Zheng Dahu looked at Xu Laifu and said: "Steward Xu, Master Xu and I are not here to pursue past matters. You have worked in the Xu family for so many years, and you deserve to receive some things."

Xu Laifu lowered his head and said nothing.

Zheng Dahu had no choice but to continue: "Master Xu and I came to see you. We hope that Butler Xu can stand up and go to the Datong Governor's Yamen to complain about how Tiger Flag used you to seize the Xu family's property."

Xu Shunqing next to him also said: "If you have a dog, you still know how to wag its tail at its owner. Xu Laifu, you have been with my father for so many years. Now it's time for you to repay my father's kindness. Why don't you agree to Master Zheng quickly?"

"This..." Xu Laifu said with a confused look on his face, "Young master, let's forget about the complaint. I still have some money at home. I'll take it with me when I leave later."

He turned around, looked at the woman behind him, and said, "Go back to the house and take out all the money in the house and bring it to the young master."

"But at home..." The woman looked hesitant.

Xu Laifu's face was serious and he said: "Why are you still standing there? Go get it quickly."

The woman had no choice but to turn around and go back to the house to get the money.

Zheng Dahu frowned and said dissatisfied: "Steward Xu, Mr. Xu treated you very well back then, so you just watched the Xu family's property being taken away by the tiger-character flag and remained indifferent?"

Xu Laifu said humbly: "You are joking. How can I know whether the Tiger Character Banner has seized the Xu family's property? So I'd better find someone else to complain to the governor's Yamen! I really don't know."

Xu Shunqing on the side said with a cold face: "Xu Laifu, don't be shameless. You are just a dog raised by my Xu family. If I ask you to work for Mr. Zheng, I am giving you shame."

Xu Laifu's face darkened, but he said: "The young master is right, the old slave is a dog of the Xu family. Since he is a dog, how can he know the affairs of the master's family, so young master, you have found the wrong person, please come back."

Bar!"

"I think you are really shameless." Xu Shunqing walked over, raised his hand and slapped him.

It's a pity that his thin body is not as strong as Xu Laifu's, and Xu Laifu grabbed his wrist in one fell swoop.

When Zheng Dahu saw the two people moving, he hurriedly advised: "Steward Xu, calm down, don't be like Master Xu. Master Xu is dead, and such a large part of the Xu family's property has been taken away. It is inevitable that there will be resentment in Butler Xu's heart."

Don't look at the monk's face but the Buddha's face. For the sake of the late Mr. Xu, don't get angry with him."

Xu Laifu flicked Xu Shunqing's wrist away and said coldly: "Young Master, I am not the housekeeper of the Xu family now. I cannot allow others to beat or scold you at will. Please respect yourself, Young Master."

"You..." How could Xu Shunqing be reconciled after suffering such a big loss?

But before he could do anything, Zheng Dahu said coldly: "If you dare to mess around again, don't blame me for being rude to you."
