In a courtyard in Chang'an North City, several people were sitting on the ground. One of them, an old man, asked, "Have you found out?"
A middle-aged man responded: "I have found out that the two young masters of Da Qin really opened a restaurant in Nancheng for the assessment. However, they are heavily guarded and rarely appear in the restaurant, so it is not easy to get in touch with them."
The old man sighed: "No matter what, we have to set up a line, otherwise our Yu family will be swallowed up to the bone."
The middle-aged man hesitated and said: "But will it be useful to put on the line? Why don't we ask other wealthy nobles for help?"
The old man shook his head: "How can there be tigers and wolves in the world who don't eat meat? Other wealthy families have the same virtue. Our Yu family is so rich, but we lack military force. The people we seek cooperation with are ambitious and want to annex my Yu family."
The middle-aged man also looked unwilling: "But the situation is stronger than the person, so there is nothing we can do."
A trace of reluctance flashed across the old man's face, and he said resolutely: "That's why I spent a lot of money to find out that the two young masters of His Majesty the Emperor of Qin are vying for the throne. The younger son is more favored by the Emperor of Qin, but not as supported by the ministers as the eldest son. My Yu family
You may not be able to seize the opportunity to become a new wealthy aristocrat in the Qin Dynasty like the Lu family. Moreover, Ziqi is extremely talented and smart since he was a child, so he may not be able to become a master."
The middle-aged man exclaimed: "Father, do you want to find a rare place to live?" The old man nodded firmly: "Go and get all the collected information. Let's leave the North City and go to the South City quickly."
The middle-aged man was puzzled: "We have been operating here for so long, so it shouldn't be unsafe, right? There is no need to change the place so urgently."
The old man shook his head. His son's talents were average, otherwise he wouldn't have put his hope in his grandson. If Li Si couldn't notice that he was collecting royal information in such a big way, then he wouldn't be worthy of being a court captain.
That chair in the house.
Sure enough, not long after leaving, the courtyard was surrounded by guards in black. The leader kicked open the door of the courtyard, and when he found that no one was there, his face became embarrassed, and he scolded his subordinates: "Trash, even a person is like this."
I can’t stand it.”
The middle-aged man on the carriage on the other side was frightened for a while and asked: "Father, where are we going next?" The old man looked at the collected intelligence and pondered for a while: "Let's go directly to the Hero Building. Can Hu Hai become a big deal?
You need to see it with your own eyes.”
The old man took a carriage and came directly to the Hero Building. He found a small building next to the building with a big flag with the four characters "Recruiting Talents" written on it. He couldn't help but marveled, and he called a passerby and threw a broken piece into his arms.
Jin Zi asked: "Who owns this small building?"
The passerby was stunned at first, and then responded happily after seeing the gold nugget: "It is said that the owner of the hero building put it up to recruit talents, but the people who went there these days were just for food and drink, so the owner was not angry.
, come and entertain each other, others are laughing at others for being stupid and having too much money."
The old man's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked eagerly: "Then how can I meet the landlord?" A passerby said casually: "Just recommend yourself and ask for a meeting." After saying that, he looked at the old man and muttered: It's not like those people.
Could it be that a poor person who just eats and drinks takes recruiting talented people seriously?
The old man ignored the mutterings of passers-by and directly sent people to ask for help.
Hu Hai yawned boredly in the living room of the small building. Today he had already received more than a dozen people who claimed to be talented people. Almost all of them were cheating on food and drink. Fortunately, the landlord had a lot of food, so Hu Hai gave them a delicious meal.
.In the end, Hu Hai was not angry and pulled Lin Ze, who was practicing martial arts hard in the Lin Mansion, over.
At this moment, another person recommended himself, and Hu Hai had to pretend to be happy and let people invite the person in. At first glance, Hu Hai couldn't help but be a little disappointed, a bad old man and a greasy uncle with a little fart
My child, this is too much. Others come alone to eat and drink, but you actually come with the whole family.
"Lin Ze, serve tea to the three heroes," Hu Hai weakly directed Lin Ze. Lin Ze secretly rolled his eyes. He still had to give Hu Hai, the lord, face in front of outsiders, and took the teapot from the boy behind him with a smile on his face.
He poured tea for the three of them with a smile.
Seeing that Lin Ze was doing well, Hu Hai had an idea: "Oh, Lin Ze, my stomach suddenly hurts. Please entertain these heroes for me." After saying that, he ran away without waiting for Lin Ze to agree.
Lin Ze, who was left stunned, and the young and old looked at each other. Lin Ze clearly saw a trace of disappointment flashing in the old man's eyes.
Lin Ze brought some more refreshments to the three of them and said, "Where do you come from, old man? Is it a self-recommendation or a recommendation of a great talent?"
The old man wanted to get up and leave, but he remembered the situation of his family and said, "My surname is Yu. I wonder who this young master is from just now?"
Well, Lin Ze's careless heart suddenly tightened. There was something wrong with this old man. He was a bit inquiring about information, so he secretly raised his concerns: "Xiaosheng Lin Ze, the shopkeeper of the Hero Building, is the young master's butler. I don't know.
Why are you here, my father-in-law?"
The old man shook his head: "I have something to discuss with that young master. Maybe Mr. Lin can't make the decision yet, so I'd better wait for that young master to come over."
Lin Ze smiled and said, "Then, young man, go and urge your father-in-law." After saying that, he got up and went to the backyard.
After Lin Ze left, the middle-aged man couldn't wait to ask: "Is that young man just like the Hu Hai shown in our intelligence? Why is my father so arrogant and offends his close associates?"
The old man gave him a reproachful look: "Don't say anything nonsense. Since that young master can openly recruit talents, he will definitely come again. We can just wait and see."
On the other side, Lin Ze found Hu Hai who was hiding in the backyard and looked at Hu Hai with a look that I knew was like this: "Young Master has been out and about recently, so the guards around you must not leave. Just now, the young and old were acting strangely. I guess it was because of the Young Master."
Come."
Hu Hai immediately had an expression that I had expected: "I just said something was wrong with that person and took the opportunity to slip out. What about, should we arrest them?"
Lin Ze shook his head: "We can't arrest him. Without evidence, if we arrest him, we will be suspicious of recruiting talents. If we lose the trust of others, we will not be able to recruit real talents."
Hu Hai was unhappy: "Then what do you want to do? It doesn't matter. You can do it as you see fit. I'm going to catch up on my sleep." After saying that, he went back to the Lin Mansion.
Lin Ze had no choice but to continue back to the small building and smiled awkwardly at the old man: "It's a bit inconvenient for me, sir. Can I come back tomorrow?"
The old man's previously confident mentality collapsed, and he said with a straight face: "Could it be that I'm fooling this old man? Didn't I just go call the young master?"
Lin Ze's face was as usual, but he was sneering in his heart: He really came for Hu Hai, he pretended to be like him, the whole family showed up, and he tried his best to lower our vigilance. Lin Ze could only look innocent.
And with a helpless look: "But the young master really has something to do and has already gone back. I'd better come back tomorrow."
The old man slapped the table and stood up: "Your Majesty is so neglectful of talents, please stop flying this banner of recruiting talents."
Lin Ze was also annoyed, there was no end to it, right: "Please respect yourself." The middle-aged man was furious when he heard this: "You are so impudent." After saying that, he pulled out his dagger and pointed it at Lin Ze.
Lin Ze sneered. In his previous life, he wanted to take the exam at Xiamen University, but unfortunately he failed: "You are the ones who are presumptuous. You are the one taking over the host. If anyone comes, surround them."
After saying that, a group of guards filed in and surrounded the young and old. The atmosphere became tense for a moment.
