After laying the foundation, all that remains is to wait for the building materials to arrive and build the house.
Mr. Hou was holding a jug of wine and drinking happily in his room.
"Sir," a laborer shouted outside, "the kids are done, please show me if the job is right."
When Master Hou heard this voice, he raised his voice and said, "Come in."
The laborer came in and closed the door.
Although they were dressed differently, he was clearly the same person as the strong servant that night.
"Sir, you are living a comfortable life!" He lowered his voice with a hint of jealousy, "We have good wine and good food on hand. I will give you whatever you want."
Master Hou's life was indeed a happy one. Ah Xuan said that the young master is not a stingy person, and he was absolutely right.
After making sure that he has real abilities, the supervision work is completely handed over to him. Food is the best, and he can choose whatever he wants. Just say a word from him and everything will be prepared.
Master Hou even felt that life in the village was not such a good one.
After all, those bandits are lawless, how can they be so obedient? Not to mention the life style, these things. The people who come out of the Hou Mansion are just different...
However, when Master Hou saw Lao Li's expression, he knew what he was thinking. He touched his beard and poured him a glass of wine: "No matter how comfortable you are, how can you be as comfortable as your own master?"
This person's doubts were dispelled with one sentence, and he smiled and said, "That's right."
He drank the wine in one gulp, smacked his mouth twice, and had endless aftertaste: "As expected of a noble man from the capital, we have never drunk such a good wine in our lives. There are so many of us, and those who can drink this wine,
Only you, sir!"
After saying that, he immediately asked: "Sir, when are you going to take action? All our people have sneaked in."
Master Hou frowned and said, "It's only been less than two months. It's too hasty to start now."
Dissatisfied with the labor force: "Is two months enough? When we planned the county government, we only had this little time, and there were not so many people."
Master Hou said displeasedly: "Do you think it is easier here than the county government? Have you seen the generals led by the young master? They come from a family of military generals. They are all highly skilled in martial arts and have strict discipline. In a real fight, hundreds of them may not be their opponents.
"
Laoli said: "Sir, how can you increase the ambition of others and destroy your own prestige? No matter how powerful they are, they only have twenty or thirty people. What use are the remaining herdsmen and hard workers? We have hundreds of people, and we can't subdue them if we swarm them.
them?"
"That's not necessarily true!"
Lao Li felt unhappy: "Sir, don't you think your life is too happy and you don't want to take risks? You live a good life, but we brothers have to work hard every day."
This sentence brought suspicion. Hou Dajiang was angry, but he knew that he had no force and had to rely on these people, so he softened his tone and said: "What are you talking about? I am not here for my brothers."
How many casualties are there? At this time of wealth, wouldn’t it be a pity if we lost our lives?”
"I hope sir really thinks so." Lao Li took out the pot of wine and drank another glass. "Sir, your skills are rare. You will be able to successfully arrange a foolproof plan. We are waiting for your news."
He stood up, wiped his lips and said, "You can still have a taste of wine, but I don't know what women can drink."
Master Hou felt bad when he heard this, and couldn't help but add another sentence: "Before you succeed, you must calm down. I don't think the women here are easy to get involved with, so don't cause trouble!"
"Got it!" Lao Li waved his hands a little impatiently, opened the door and went out.
Master Hou sat alone for a while and sighed.
This is the disadvantage of being controlled by others! No matter how clever he is or how powerful they are, he has to be careful. When there is no conflict, treat him like a gentleman and be very polite. Once you are not satisfied, you will turn against him and ignore him.
.
As a master who thinks highly of himself, the most worrying thing is probably not meeting a good master. If Jiang Taigong had never met King Wen, and Kong Ming had not been able to meet Liu Bei, his name might not have been left in the history books at all.
Master Hou put these sentiments behind him, picked up the topographic map of the racecourse, and concentrated on thinking about the plan.
Robbers are robbers. Since they have come to remind you, it means that they can no longer bear it. If you suppress them forcefully, it will only make them more suspicious, which will lead to bad things.
Anyway, we can only plan more carefully and think of a way to transfer that Xuanshi away...
A stream of smoke flew into the main room and transformed into a small white snake.
"A robber is a robber. If you provoke him casually, he won't be able to bear it anymore." Mingwei said. If Master Hou hears this, he will most likely regard her as a confidant.
Ah Wan opposite her glanced at her and thought to herself, it's weird that she can't bear it.
That great craftsman Hou would give whatever he asked, and he would just praise him to the sky. But the bandits who sneaked in worked from morning to night, eating from a big pot of food, and could not drink or have sex. In addition to the wages they were paid, they were miserable.
For real laborers, high wages are their greatest comfort, but if robbers are satisfied with this, they will not become robbers.
In addition, the young master showed up a few times, and the extravagance and nobility that were not at all compatible with the small northwest county, didn't it make them dizzy?
"Miss, have an ice plate." Duofu brought a silver plate as if he was offering a treasure. The crushed goat's milk ice was covered with all kinds of melons and fruits that were rare in the northwest, and there was a slight chill.
Ah Wan said sourly: "I started eating ice trays in May, and I'm not afraid of getting upset."
Duofu glanced at her and ignored her.
She has learned a trick to deal with Ah Wan, which is to act like she didn't hear anything she said, which will only make Ah Wan even more angry.
Sure enough, when Ah Wan saw that she was silent, she angrily grabbed the veil and went away.
Yang Shu took a look and shouted: "Xiaotong, get two more ice trays, I want to eat too."
Xiaotong's response came from afar, and Ah Wan immediately became happy.
Yang Shu sighed in his heart and said: "I think he is very wary of senior brother, and is afraid that he will attack him."
Mingwei took a bite of the crushed ice and said, "He should first find a way to transfer the husband away, and if that doesn't work, then formulate a strategy to trap him. Mr. Hou is a very cautious person, and he can feel that the husband is much more powerful than him."
Xuanshi."
"Then let's transfer our senior brother away first to prevent him from making any more tricks."
Ming looked at him with a smile: "Are you worried that sir, you will accidentally be tricked by him?"
When her intentions were seen through, Yang Shu felt a little uncomfortable and said duplicity: "Why should I be worried about him? Isn't he very powerful?"
Mingwei didn't talk back to him, and just said: "That's okay. A new caravan will come to Gaotang in a few days, and I'll just ask Mr. to go to the county town."
Well, transfer the people away so that Master Hou can act with peace of mind.
He must have been very anxious in the past two months. Although he knew the magic, he didn't dare to use it at all, for fear of being discovered.
As long as Ning Xiu leaves and he boldly does it, it will be easier to fall into the trap.
