Chapter 41 Get rid of the restrictions of household registration!
In an instant, Xu Chong thought a lot.
In the original memory, after the third master became successful, the housekeeper of the Xu family has always been Lao Li.
It has been the same for more than ten years, and it has never changed.
It doesn’t matter how well you do it. If you want to talk about the advantages, there is barely one, honesty.
Like other servants and maids employed by the Xu Mansion, they all came from craftsmen's households.
Firstly, the family background is too low, and secondly, the third master has been very busy and doesn't pay much attention to these people, so these people have not developed the idea of being arrogant and have maintained their simplicity.
It is precisely for this reason that after Xu Chong took charge of the Xu Mansion, he never thought of replacing these people.
Even the two maids of the third master were unwilling to become miscellaneous maids and voluntarily took the money and left.
But what is the situation now?
Lao Li?!
Xu Chong clearly remembered that when he opened the study door, there was no one inside.
And he himself stood at the door practicing the exercises from beginning to end. Let alone anyone passing by, no one appeared in his field of vision.
How did Lao Li appear in the study without him noticing?
Could it be...
Xu Chong was horrified: "Are you a water ghost?!"
"Water ghost?"
Lao Li frowned, "Don't compare me to that turtle."
A turtle with a shrunken head?
Wait!
Isn’t Lao Li a water ghost?!
Xu Chong felt that his brain was a bit insufficient.
"Huh, I've been here for half a month, and I've been looking for him for half a month, but I still haven't received his response."
Lao Li snorted dissatisfiedly, "A mere group of blood-clothed guards can scare him like this. What else can they do if they don't shrink their heads?"
Ben Daozi?
Well, not only is he not a water ghost, but he is also not Lao Li...
Xu Chong understood, and his heart fell into the abyss, "Taozi of Taiping Road? You turned into my butler, what do you want?"
"Haha, since you're not used to it, I'd better talk to you in a different way."
Lao Li smiled calmly.
The next moment, his face and figure began to distort.
In the blink of an eye, his appearance completely changed, from a rickety old man to a graceful and elegant young man.
"You can call me Wuxie Daozi."
The young man had a smile on his face, which gave him a condescending air.
Xu Chong: "..."
"Xu Chong, who is twenty years old, serves as the official history of Canglong County. He hates evil as much as his enemies and loves the people as his own children. All Canglong County officials and the people are kind to you, and they are all convinced by you."
Wu Xie Daozi pointed to the chair opposite, "If I'm not wrong, then take a seat and talk about it."
Xu Chong was silent for a moment, walked into the study honestly, closed the door, and sat down opposite Wuxie Daozi.
No matter who the other party is, since he is willing to spend time investigating himself, it is definitely not for the purpose of killing.
There must be something else.
"What do you want me to do?"
Xu Chong went straight to the point.
"It's a pleasure to talk to smart people."
Wuxie Daozi smiled while stroking his hands, "I want you to use your connections and prestige to help me keep an eye on the entire county. If there is anything unusual, tell me immediately."
Xu Chong's heart moved slightly, "So, you are also looking for that important treasure?"
"Huh? You even know this?"
Wuxie Daozi was surprised, "It seems that your relationship with Fu Yuanlong is very unusual...were you the one who discovered the water ghost's plot?"
"Well, that should be it."
"You all have enough money to exchange for a martial skill. I guess the imperial court has rewarded you with a lot of contributions, right?"
Wuluo Daozi's words made Xu Chong silent for a while.
He never expected that the other party would be able to think of this just through an unrelated sentence.
Fortunately, he is hidden deeper than this.
After thinking for a while, Xu Chong said: "Since you said that I hate evil, why do you still come? Aren't you afraid that I will risk my life to report you?"
"Oh, the distinction between good and evil is for the common people. I don't believe you are really that naive."
Wuxie Daozi raised his lips, "What's more, as long as the benefits are great enough, good and evil can also cooperate."
"I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you."
Xu Chong shook his head: "I already have martial arts and martial arts, so I don't lack anything, and relying on the imperial court to figure it out slowly is far more secure than being tainted by Taiping Dao."
"That's the truth."
Wuxie Daozi nodded and suddenly changed the topic: "But... what about getting rid of the restrictions of household registration? Don't you want this too?"
"Get rid of...join Taipingdao?"
Xu Chong frowned, "Sorry, I..."
Before he finished speaking, Wuxie Daozi raised his index finger and shook it twice, "I only said to get rid of the household registration restrictions, but I didn't say to let you join the Taiping Dao... Well, to be more straightforward, I can let you not rebel.
On the premise of leaving the imperial court, you can still get rid of the restrictions of household registration."
"What did you say?!"
Xu Chong stood up suddenly, his face full of horror.
Seeing that the time was ripe, Wuxie Daozi continued to seduce.
"As long as you help me accomplish something, I will give you the opportunity to trade with me after it is accomplished."
"Kung Fu, martial arts, precious medicine, intelligence...anything you can think of will have a suitable price, and you don't need to betray Daqing."
Wuxie Daozi's gaze was extremely deep, as if he was trying to pull Xu Chong down into the abyss, "You can continue to be your official and use the deal with me to rise to the top!"
Xu Chong could not calm down for a long time.
What Wuxie Daozi said, nothing else matters.
After a few months, he is no longer a rookie who first heard about the "impairment of knowledge and vision" and wanted to open up additional channels.
With a fifth-class household registration, no matter what he does, he cannot escape the fact that he is restricted everywhere.
Unless you join Taipingdao and create a rebellion in Daqing.
But now, this innocent Taoist actually said that he can get rid of the household registration restrictions without betraying Daqing?
Is this something he can do on his own?
Wuxie Daozi can do it, can Sun Yourong do it?
Why haven’t I heard her mention it?
Xu Chong suppressed his boiling desire and said in a deep voice: "How can I believe you when you make empty claims?"
"I'm not afraid to tell you that there are already many people in the court who are doing business with me. I just don't mind having more trading partners. Do you think I will give you the benefits in vain?"
Wuxie Daozi smiled brightly, "But having said that, at your level, it will probably take you a long time to save enough to trade with me once."
Is this what I’m specifically asking about?
Xu Chong complained and asked directly: "What do you mean by getting rid of household registration restrictions?"
"It's useless to tell you this now. It's not worth it. You can't afford the price."
"Besides, there is no one else but me who can accomplish this."
"You can think about it carefully and reply to me tomorrow. I'm not in a hurry."
After saying that, Wuxie Daozi lazily leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes and rested, as if he was not afraid that Xu Chong would not take the bait.
Time passes slowly.
Xu Chong struggled for a long time and let out a long breath: "... To be honest, your proposal makes me very tempted. But, I dare not agree to you."
"Don't dare? Why?"
Wuxie Daozi opened his eyes and frowned.
"On the four city gates, a mirror suddenly appeared. I guess this is Fu Yuanlong's method to monitor your Taiping Dao."
Xu Chong said meaningfully, "Maybe he has a firm grasp of your whereabouts and will come with the blood-clothed guards to surround you at any time."
"What did I think you were going to say?"
Wu Xie Daozi shook his head disdainfully, "It's just a blood test, it's okay to deal with others, but you can deal with me?"
