"Ahem! Monk, don't call me Master, I'm just a housekeeper. It's not good for Master and his wife to hear." The fat butler reminded me.
Zhu Chongba immediately looked surprised, "Oh, I see you have a full heaven, a round earth pavilion, and good fortune and longevity. I thought you were the master of the Diao Mansion!"
This tall hat immediately made the fat butler feel comfortable, and he smiled so much that his eyes became slits.
"Haha, you, a monk, really know how to speak nicely!" The fat butler was obviously very impressed.
"Butler, this is not something we say in a nice way. I'm looking at you for blessings. Even if I'm not now, I will definitely be a master in the future!" Zhu Chongba endured his nausea and tried hard to follow Zhu Qiwu's instructions to "be sweet."
"Haha, you monk, you are really sensible!"
The fat butler was very satisfied with Zhu Chongba, and immediately fired the rough cook who had paid for it, and directly put Zhu Chongba, the 'chef of Dinglin Temple', on the job.
For the two meals that day, Zhu Chongba prepared them to the best of both quality and quantity.
The entire family of Diao Mansion was full of praise for the new chef.
Ten days later.
Zhu Chongba had already figured out everything about the Diao family.
This evening, second update.
After Zhu Chongba finished all the work in the kitchen, he sat in the yard and stared at the night sky.
He went out to buy groceries during the day and took the opportunity to place a three-stone code outside the gate.
Qiwu and the others saw the code and should come to join us tonight.
After a while, three dog barks came from the dog hole.
"coming!"
Zhu Chongba heard the secret signal and immediately followed it with two dog barks.
This is their code for safety.
After some preparations, Zhu Chongba walked to the wall of the courtyard.
This is an extremely narrow dog hole, which leads to the Diao family's front yard.
The front yard is full of domestic soldiers. Even if ordinary people sneak in, they will be discovered quickly and then be beaten by a large group of strong men.
However, if just one person sneaks in, there is still a chance to escape the strong men who are watching the night.
At this time, a head poked out of the dark dog hole.
It was Zhu Qiwu.
Zhu Qiwu got in through the dog hole quickly.
Zhu Chongba sent a signal indicating that the night watchman was not there and could come in.
"Ouch!"
Zhu Qiwu got in through the dog hole and felt that his whole body was covered with dog hair and urine.
This dog hole is deliberately curved to prevent people from climbing in or passing items around.
Fortunately, Zhu Qiwu was so hungry that he was all bones, but he was still able to crawl in.
"Qiwu, where is the Mongolian sweat medicine?" Zhu Chongba took Zhu Qiwu and hid in a dark place nearby.
The night watchman will come back soon, so we must hurry up.
"Here it is!"
Zhu Qiwu took out the oil paper package from his arms.
"Are these enough?" Zhu Chongba weighed and asked.
They only have one chance to make a move. If they don't succeed, their efforts will be in vain and their lives may be in danger.
"Brother, don't worry, this packet of medicine is so tall that it can knock down a hundred cows without any problem!" Zhu Qiwu said.
Success or failure depends on this, Zhu Qiwu naturally won't feel bad about the little bit of sweat medicine.
"Okay! This is the map of the Diao family compound. The foyer and sentry posts are all on it!" Zhu Chongba handed Zhu Qiwu a piece of fine cloth.
This is a piece of fine cloth used to wrap steamed buns. When Zhu Qiwu put it in his arms, he could still smell the smell of old yeast noodles.
"Okay, let's start on time tomorrow!" Zhu Qiwu finally confirmed.
"No problem, as long as we use the sweat medicine to knock down all the strong men in the family, the Diao family in the inner courtyard are no match for us!" Zhu Chongba said.
The 100th servant of the Diao family will all eat the big pot of rice cooked by Zhu Chongba, and no one can escape.
The gentlemen and ladies in the inner courtyard were the weak ones. Although there was no way to drug them down, they were all spoiled people with delicate skin and tender flesh, and there was no way they could be Zhu Chongba's opponents.
The brothers confirmed the final move.
When the night watchman didn't come, Zhu Qiwu got into the dog hole and crawled out again.
Zhu Qiwu endured the smell of dog urine and finally crawled out.
As soon as his head emerged, Xu Da and Tang He hurriedly helped him pull it out.
"Oh, be gentle." Zhu Qiwu whispered.
Xu Da and Tang He asked immediately, regardless of whether he was in pain or not.
"Qiwu, how are you doing with Chongba in there?"
"Yeah, there's no danger, right?"
Zhu Qiwu thought to himself: It is indeed a friendship that can last for life in the future. The first thing that comes to mind is Zhu Chongba's safety.
"Brothers, don't worry, my brother is fine in there!"
After Zhu Qiwu said that, he looked around again.
"Let's talk after we go back. This is not the place to talk!"
It is always too dangerous outside the Diao family compound. If someone discovers the clues, it is very likely that the success will be in vain.
Zhu Qiwu, Xu Da and Tang He quickly and cautiously left the Diao family compound.
They rushed to an abandoned and shabby earth temple.
This was their planned stop. More than 20 people, including Zhou Dexing, were already waiting anxiously inside.
When they saw Zhu Qiwu and the others coming back, they immediately rushed up and asked.
"Qiwu, how's it going?"
"How's Brother Chongba?"
Zhu Qiwu took a breath and then said to everyone.
"Don't worry, everyone, my brother is fine and everything is going well. Let's start as planned tomorrow!"
When everyone heard this, they all breathed a sigh of relief.
"This is a rough map of the Diao family. Let's quickly discuss the route!"
Zhu Qiwu took out the map drawn on the furoshiki from his arms and called for everyone to gather around him.
Then, a group of people quickly got ready.
Whether they were those who kidnapped people, those who stood sentry, those who guarded the gates, those who led horses and trailers, or those who charged into the inner courtyard, they were all assigned to each person.
"Prepare more hemp ropes. Except for the unruly people who have committed many evil deeds and deserve to be killed, try not to harm the lives of others," Zhu Qiwu said.
Many of the Diao family's strong soldiers were fellow villagers, and killing them would not be good for one's reputation.
"Okay, let's remember it all!" Tang He took the lead and said.
After everything was arranged properly, everyone slept in the ruined temple. Until tomorrow night, they would eat, drink, and have sex in the ruined temple, and no one was allowed to leave even half a step.
This rule was also adhered to by Zhu Qiwu time and again.
Many major events in history were caused by a lack of carefulness and caution.
There is no need to doubt the loyalty of these old brothers.
But some of them like to drink, and who knows if they will make a blunder after drinking.
It would be bad if the news leaked out.
For many days, Zhu Qiwu's strategies and prudence have impressed Tang He, Xu Da and others.
He is clearly a teenager, but he is ruthless and sophisticated.
