Sun Xingba immediately stopped eating the chicken, looked at Chai Yan in a daze, and said: "No wonder you invited me to drink, it turns out that you got one hundred taels of gold! Hahaha, then we will have to get drunk today."
ah......."
With that said, Sun Xingba picked up the wine bowl with his greasy right hand and toasted to Chai Yan with a smile.
"One hundred taels of gold... Damn it, if you didn't mention this, I almost forgot about it!"
Chai Yan slapped his forehead and suddenly remembered the documents he had written with Di Chuli when he was catching lions in Mishan County!
Sun Xingba said in surprise: "No...you didn't ask him for money?"
"Don't mention it, I forgot..." Chai Yan picked up the wine bowl and started drinking, then said: "No, I will ask for the money tomorrow!"
For one hundred taels of gold, it was impossible for Chai Yan not to come back.
Chai Yan took a few sips of wine and then asked Sun Xingba about the situation of Di Chu and his party's return. Sun Xingba didn't know much, so he told everything like he was pouring beans.
"Liu Tong is so crazy?" Chai Yan asked in surprise: "There is no reason, why is he crazy?"
Sun Xingba's expression changed, he shrank his head and whispered: "I heard that Liu Tonghao has been controlled by the secret cult's people using witchcraft. Later, he was caught and locked up, and he went crazy not long after. It's probably because
There's a bug in my stomach."
"Witch Gu?" Upon hearing this, Chai Yan immediately remembered what happened in Graceland that night.
Gu, witchcraft, secret cult...
Could it be said that Yue'er and Lian'er, who tried to feed Zhao Cong insects, were members of the secret sect?
After thinking about it, Chai Yan felt that this possibility was extremely high.
Not only that, Chai Yan also guessed that those four masked assassins were probably members of the secret cult.
After some inference, Chai Yan believed that there should be a force behind the resurgent dark sect, and this force is not trivial!
"Chai Yan... Chai Yan?"
While he was drinking, Sun Xingba noticed that Chai Yan was lost in thought, so he waved his big palm back and forth in front of his eyes and started shouting. Only then did Chai Yan come back to his senses.
"What are you thinking about?" Sun Xingba poured him a bowl of wine and asked.
"Nothing..." Chai Yan picked up the wine bowl and said, "Come on, drink!"
An hour later, Chai Yan sent the drunk Sun Xingba home and walked back leisurely.
As he walked, questions kept flashing through Chai Yan's mind...
Who are the people who support the Dark Cult?
Why did they feed Zhao Cong worms? Why did they assassinate the prince?
If the prince dies? Who will be the biggest beneficiary?
In addition, why didn’t the prince ask him to hunt down the assassin, and he didn’t seem to be in a hurry to do so!
But Chai Yan didn't understand the reason until he returned to the library.
Two days later, Cheng Huahan came to the library with Chai Yan's official appointment letter.
In other words, from this moment on, Chai Yan became Chai sexton, and the days of guarding and managing the treasury were over!
After Cheng Huahan showed the official letter to Chai Yan, he handed it over with a smile on his face and congratulated: "Congratulations to Secretary Chai on his promotion, haha..."
"Thank you, Lord Cheng." Chai Yan was also very polite.
Cheng Huahan closed the official letter and said: "Sir Chai, I took the official letter back and kept it. As for the register, someone will come to hand it over to you later. When the handover is completed, you can move to the sextons' house.
Give it up, I will take you to find a door in a while..."
Chai Yan said with a smile: "No need, Mr. Cheng, I won't live in Wude Division anymore, so there is no need to occupy the house in the division."
"Oh?" Cheng Huahan was slightly surprised, and then he probably figured out the reason, and smiled: "It's okay, you're used to living alone, it's not appropriate to be crowded with those people, haha...
."
After chatting for a few more words, Cheng Huahan said goodbye and left.
Half an hour later, when Chai Yan returned to his room and had just packed up his things, a short official came to the door. This person was the one Cheng Huahan had arranged to replace Chai Yan in guarding the treasury.
Then, Chai Yan took the little clerk to the library and started the handover work.
In fact, the handover work is not complicated. It is nothing more than clearly explaining the location and storage rules of various materials and documents.
But half an hour passed, and the little clerk still couldn't understand what Chai Yan was talking about. The letters and symbols on the shelf seemed to him like ghost symbols.
The more Chai Yan talked, the more confused the little clerk became. Finally, Chai Yan chose to give up and let the little clerk classify and store them in his own way.
"The library will be handed over to you from now on!"
Chai Yan carried his baggage, said this to the little clerk, and prepared to leave the small courtyard.
To be honest, even though he didn't live long, Chai Yan really couldn't bear to part with this place.
Just as Chai Yan stood at the entrance of the courtyard and looked back with emotion, a familiar figure walked from the distance...
"Hey, what are you doing here?"
The visitor patted Chai Yan on the shoulder and shouted happily.
"Why are you here?"
Chai Yan looked back and saw that it was Jimo Qiao who was carrying a baggage in her hand.
Jimo Qiao raised his hand, handed over the baggage, and said playfully: "Why, you're not welcome! It's kind of you, my lady, to send you official uniforms. You are now a verger, so you can't still wear official uniforms..."
...Why are you standing there, take it!"
After saying that, Jimo Qiao stuffed the bundle into Chai Yan's arms.
"Oh my God, Miss Qiao, you are too well-informed, aren't you? I just got promoted, and you already know?" Chai Yan looked at her in surprise.
Jimo Qiao said: "I met Mr. Cheng this morning, and he told me!"
"Oh..." Chai Yan responded.
Later, Chai Yan found out that there was a pair of boots in the bag. He immediately remembered that those above the sexton had a rank. Although it was only equivalent to the sixth rank, official boots must be issued.
Chai Yan carried the baggage behind his back and said cheerfully: "I'm so proud that I bothered Miss Jimo to give me official uniforms in person. I'm really flattered, hahaha..."
"Stop talking nonsense!" Jimo Qiao pursed his lips, turned around and said, "Let's go, report in!"
"Register?" Chai Yan asked immediately: "Mo Siji hasn't come back yet, who should I report to?"
The official letter stated that Chai Yan was assigned to serve under Mo Di.
"Shishi Mo is not here, but our Shishi Li Dachui is here!" Jimo Qiao said with a smile: "In other words, until Shishi Mo comes back, you will be under Li Dachui's charge! Come on, I will take you there.
....."
After that, Jimo Qiao urged Chai Yan to leave.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't push me. I want to report to Secretary Li two days late, is that okay?" Chai Yan said.
Jimo Qiao was puzzled and asked: "Why are you two days late? What are you going to do?"
Chai Yan replied: "I have to move first! Miss Qiao, after I pack up my new home first, I will report to Secretary Li as soon as possible. Is that okay?"
"Wait, what did you mean...new home?" Jimo Qiao said in shock.
