There was chaos at the door for a while, then Lao Xingcang led the young master into the backyard of the dyehouse.
The backyard of the dye house is not small, with enough space for three entrances and about two yards across. When the young master comes back, he naturally lives in the main hall of the backyard. The yard has been covered with bright carpets, and the eldest young master is invited to sit in the back hall.
For the rest, Tang Zhao and Fang Weiran, as swordsmen, could naturally follow them into the hall, while Wei Se and other green-clothed servants could only drive the carriages and horses to the stables first, and then wait for the master's instructions to settle them, not to mention the young slaves.
Zheng Yun was sitting in the hall, and a group of white-haired people and a small number of half-white-haired people came to greet him again. The old man Xing Cang saluted and cried, saying: "I haven't seen you for ten years. The young master is so handsome. If the old master knows,
How happy it would be."
Zheng Yun glanced at everyone. Except for Lao Xingcang, no one recognized him. He could only roughly tell that there were two swordsmen among them, and the rest were not swordsmen even if they had white hair.
There were actually three swordsmen who came down to welcome the young master back to the mountain, and there were more on the mountain. This shows that the strength of the manor should not be underestimated. The strength of the entire Zengliang Mountain is even deeper and unfathomable.
Kongliang Mountain created a large number of sword slaves, and many swordsmen from them. They suffered a lot in Konggliang Mountain, but in the end they became part of the strength of Konggliang Mountain.
Seeing Zheng Yun sizing up the two swordsmen, Xing Cang introduced: "This is Xing Wu, and this is Xing Twelve. They are both new swordsmen in the family, and the young master has never seen them before."
Except for those who were really persistent, most of the swordsmen who broke out from the Gangliang Mountain changed their surnames to Xing, because they were lucky enough to survive. Their names were randomly chosen. For example, Changfa Manor was sorted by numbers.
In fact, some manors may also be arranged in an orderly manner, each with its own theme. Only in the Gangliang Mountains, there may not be only one or two in Xingwu.
As for the other people, no one will introduce them. Because there is no need for introduction, and the young master does not need to know everyone. He should care about what he should care about.
So he said directly: "How is the old man? Where did you stop?"
Xing Cang bowed and said: "It is parked in the manor secretly. No one knows about it. The young master can see it when he returns."
Zheng Yun pretended to sigh with emotion: "This old man didn't wait for me and just disappeared. How is the village? Is there anything unusual inside and outside now?"
Xing Cang said: "Our manor is like an iron barrel left by the old master. Who dares to make any changes? The old master took away all the dissatisfied people before he left. The old master is wise, as soon as these thorns are gone
, no one down there can move around anymore.”
Zheng Yun glanced at the chief manager, sneered, and said: "Take it away? The old man has been in charge of the manor for ten years, and he still has a thorn in his head. He needs to take it away when he is dying. He can live in Mengliang Mountain for so many years.
,Isn’t it easy?”
Xing Cang bowed his waist and said: "Young Master, the old master was really authoritative at that time. It was only at the last moment when someone showed his ambition that the old master made such a decisive decision. For example, the thief Xing Li relied on his many years of merit..."
Zheng Yun interrupted him and said: "Okay, I'm not interested in hearing it. They're all dead, and I'm not interested in the past of the dead. According to you, there are just iron barrels in Changfa Manor now?"
Xing Cang lowered his head, his white beard and hair covering all his expressions, and said: "They are all loyal to my young master as iron as iron."
Zheng Yun smiled and said: "I can't tell whether it's iron or gold until I see it with my own eyes. Tell me about the situation outside."
Tang Zhao watched coldly, and secretly praised in his heart: Zheng Yun plays the role of such a powerful and smart young man, without any shadow of himself. Although it depends on preparation in advance, there is a sense of adaptability.
He is also very good. Could it be that his acting talent was delayed by Caiyun Gui?
When I came up, I strung my bow with the Chief Manager Xing Cang. This was also arranged in advance. According to the information, this Chief Manager is the biggest stumbling block to the control of the manor. Regardless of whether he is loyal or traitorous, he will definitely be kicked away. Moreover,
Time is limited, so we must cut through the mess quickly and have the strength to back it up. It is more efficient to use this method to scare off the enemy.
Xing Cang lowered his head and said: "It's relatively safe outside now, but according to Lao Nu's observation, there are at least two manors with evil intentions. One is Changxiu Manor, and the other is Geyi Manor..."
When he talked about foreign enemies, he seemed to suddenly become energetic, his wrinkles opened, and he began to talk endlessly.
It was peaceful at the beginning, but later he became angry, gnashing his teeth, and wanting to eat his flesh alive and bury his skin with hatred. He described the two forces as one more powerful than the other, one more hateful than the other, and it seemed that they were going to attack him at any time.
The bully came to the door, kicked over the old owner's coffin, and told the old man to crush the bones and scatter the ashes.
Zheng Yun listened lazily, and after he took a breath, he said: "There are only two enemies? It's much less than I thought. The old man is not as arrogant as he said. I understand, these two manors
I will eradicate it."
Although Xing Cang said so much to achieve this effect, he was still startled by Zheng Yun's words and hurriedly said: "Young Master, these are people who are on par with the old master. Their strength should not be underestimated. Let's slowly
The plan is good. Fortunately, the young master is back, Changfa Villa has a backbone, and it will not be afraid of any powerful enemies."
Zheng Yun hummed: "You have followed the old man for many years and think so. I don't blame you, but now is not his era. By the way, how many people did you say the old man took away? That means there is a vacancy in the manor.
?”
Xing Cang said: "Uh...yes..."
Zheng Yun asked back: "Why, you took the initiative to fill the vacant positions?"
Xing Cang said hurriedly: "No, there are still vacancies for deacons..."
Zheng Yun said: "The swordsman I brought will be the deacon, and the two servants will be the attendants, but according to the treatment of stewards, the two girls Zisu and Bai Zhi will be the stewards and take care of my money. Hmm...
Lao Qi——" He pointed at Tang Zhao, "He has been quite considerate in serving me all the way. Let's give him a promotion."
Xing Cang said hurriedly: "Lao Qi is already a first-class deacon, he..."
Above him is me.
Although he didn't say it clearly, Zheng Yun understood it and said: "Is there a general manager above the deacon? Isn't there a deputy general manager?"
Xing Cang said: "I never set..."
Zheng Yun waved his hand and said: "Then we will set up a deputy general manager and let him be your deputy. His salary will be raised one level and he will be the same as you. He will take your place after you die."
Xing Cang froze for a moment and opened his mouth to speak. Zheng Yun stretched out and said, "Okay, I'm tired. Let's take a rest first. I'll talk about other things when I wake up. Is it true that we have to travel a long distance?"
Tired." After saying this, he waved and two enchanting women named "Zi Su" and "Bai Zhi" surrounded him on the left and right into the room.
The two swordsmen Xingwu and Xingtwelve were left hanging without saying a word to the young master, which was a bit embarrassing. However, the hierarchy of the manor was very clear. Except for Xing Cang, no one else dared to complain, and they all looked at Xing silently.
Cang.
Xing Cang waved his hand and said: "The young master has dismissed us. You go back and do your work first. Remember to settle the people that the young master brought."
After everyone dispersed, Xing Cang stopped and said, "Lao Qi, come here and let's talk."
Tang Zhao thought to himself: It’s coming.
It was Zheng Yun's level just now, now it's his turn.
After all, Zheng Yun's identity is obvious, and he can take advantage of it just by being a young master. On the contrary, he needs to be more cautious here.
If we talk about the original relationship between Yukichi and Yukiso, let alone closeness, it can at least be said to be wearing the same pants.
Let me just say one thing, the old manor owner died suddenly. So it was actually Xing Cang's decision who was sent out to pick up the young master.
Although there are certain risks in taking over the job of the next master, it is definitely a good job. If you can serve the young master well, you can be regarded as a servant of the dragon. There are four equal first-level deacons in the manor, and if Xingqi can't please
Xing Cang, when is it his turn to go on this mission? He should stay and be taken away by Xing Cang along with several other deacons.
But that was before.
Now that Zheng Yun has promoted the promotion, Xing Qi and Xing Cang are almost at the same level. Coupled with the vacancy of the deacon and the replacement of the new person, the relationship between the two has become subtle in an instant.
Tang Zhao needs to grasp this subtlety, and the first priority is to prevent Xing Cang from seeing the flaws.
If you find out, then you have no choice but to let him ascend to heaven here and replace him with someone else.
That move is a bit too big. In order to successfully control the power of the manor, it is best to need the original chief manager to hand over the power. I hope Xing Cang will not be ignorant of praise.
So when everyone left, Xing Cang asked him to move to another hall, and after blocking the doors and windows, he immediately said humbly: "General manager, this is just a whim of the young master to promote me, my subordinates will never have second thoughts about you!"
Xing Cang glared at him and said, "That's nonsense. You can only say this to your master, how can you say it to me?"
Tang Zhao immediately said: "It's different. I am loyal to my master and filial to you. I don't have any second thoughts!"
Xing Cang waved his hand and said: "You have served the young master all the way. What do you think of the young master?"
Tang Zhao muttered: "Young Master... the old master of fruits."
This is Jian Chenglong's character, and it is also Xing Qi's evaluation of Jian Chenglong.
Well, that’s what Zhen Xingqi said about Zhen Jian Jackie Chan.
In order to prepare for this mission, Tang Zhao and the others have done very solid homework. Many questions that may be asked have been asked to the principal in advance. This question is one of the questions they have asked.
By the way, among the group of people he detained, Xingqi was the most "cooperative" one. After learning the identity of the visitor, he didn't resist at all. He said whatever he was told. At most, he stated that he had not done anything bad, and started from scratch.
He was innocent in the end. The information obtained from him was consistent with the tip-off, which shows that there was no trick.
In a sense, Xing Qijue is similar to Zheng Yun.
Xing Cang was silent. He understood this comment better than Tang Zhao. He slowly shook his head and said, "I can see it. It's been ten years...hasn't everything changed? Changing the owner is like nothing has changed."
Tang Zhao always felt that what he was going to say next was: "Then it wasn't for nothing?"
Of course, Xing Cang didn't say anything, and asked again: "How strong is the young master?"
Tang Zhaodao: "I have never seen the young master take action, but I have seen the sword elephant once. It was a fox. It was very solid. It seems that it was not done overnight. At least it is not inferior to me."
Xing Cang thought to himself and said, "How about the confidants he brought back?"
Tang Zhao said: "The swordsman's surname is Fang. He is very close to the young master. He has a similar temperament and his strength is valued by the young master. He should not be bad, right? His male and female servants are also like hedgehogs. They are not like slaves, but more like
Among the second-floor masters, only one named 'Wei Se' is relatively honest, and I haven't seen anything cunning about him yet."
Xing Cang said: "You are young, and you haven't seen much of the market. Of course, your temperament will be a little more fierce. When you have more experience, you will naturally know how to handle it. I have watched the young master grow up since I was a child. If there are bad people around him, I should clean them up."
Ichiban. This is the responsibility of you and me as the stewards of the manor."
