Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

Li Baolu waved all the servants to retreat, leaving only Ziluo and Zishan to wait by her side.

Everyone looked at each other in blank dismay before bowing and retreating.

Yuan Shanting glanced at Ziluo and Zishan behind her with a half-smile, and said: "Mrs. Gu is finally willing to come back, I thought you were going to hide for the rest of your life."

"Yuan Daxia misunderstood. We did go to Qin's Village to do something important, not to hide from you."

"So have you decided to tell us the whereabouts of your master?"

"Why do you have to find my master?"

"Who in the Jianghu is not curious about the whereabouts of Hero Bai? Even Wudang Huashan and other great sects are secretly paying attention. After all, Hero Bai has been pardoned. Does the Lingtian Sect come back from the world, or is there someone to follow?"

"Although my master has been exiled for eighteen years, my uncle and aunt have been roaming the rivers and lakes. Why come out of the rivers and lakes again?"

Su Anjian sneered, "Hero Bai is the head of the Lingtian Sect. Ma Yihong and Miao Jingjing not only changed their surnames, but also betrayed their juniors. Do you think they can represent the Lingtian Sect?"

Yuan Shanting shook his fan and said with a smile: "Madam Gu doesn't know yet, your uncle and aunt have not been doing well these years, Daxia Bai has a lot of friends in the Jianghu, and the major sects treat such people who bully their masters and destroy their ancestors. Nor can it be tolerated, so you know that."

That's why Ma Yihong and Miao Jingjing wanted to kill Bai Yitang, get the token of the head of Lingtianmen from him, and dig out the secrets of Lingtianmen to restore their prestige.

Jianghu, as long as they have the ability, they will be recognized even if they are vicious. The key is to get the token of the head of Ling Tianmen.

Yuan Shanting was not interested in the art of war, but he was very interested in the secret treasury and treasures of the Lingtianmen. Those big sects in the Jianghu did not show up, but they were actually paying attention to this matter secretly. I believe they are also very interested.

As the head of the Wenyuan Pavilion, Yuan Shanting has an advantage in this matter. Even if the Wenyuan Pavilion doesn't get the treasure in the end, as long as he can get the news of Bai Yitang, he can make a lot of money by selling the news.

However, he still wanted to bring his business into the officialdom, so he didn't want to waste this life-saving grace easily. He could only play the friendship card and tried to persuade Li Baolu, "Mrs. Gu, you can't hide for a while, but you can't hide forever. Ling Tianmen It has been passed down for a long time, and it can be regarded as a first-class sect in the Jianghu. It has friendship with all major sects. Instead of hiding, it is better to show up and contact each major sect. At that time, all knights can call a hero alliance to attack Ma Yihong for him Miao Jingjing, give him justice."

"I asked Yuange to have branch halls in various places. If Daxia Bai is worried about being disturbed after he shows up, why not let me ask Yuange to do it for me. How about making an appointment at a time and place for everyone to gather together?" Yuan Shanting looked at Li Baolu sincerely and said "Don't worry, Mrs. Gu. Although I ask Yuange for a high fee, I have always admired Bai Daxia's character, so this time I ask Yuange will not collect money from you. The head of Ling Tianmen has done good deeds for generations and helped countless people. Bai Daxia and his teacher He has always been someone our Pavilion Master admires."

Li Baolu sneered, "Your Majesty Yuan, don't lie to me, I won't tell you where my master is. But if you threaten me with kindness, I have to tell you even if I don't want to."

Yuan Shanting, who was about to show admiration: ...

Female hero, as the disciple of the white hero, shouldn't you be mighty and unyielding, rich and honorable but not promiscuous?

Is it really good to betray Master in this way to repay the kindness?

Su Anjian also looked at Li Baolu blankly, thinking that since she could see through Yuan Shanting's trickery, she shouldn't be so stupid and reveal her dirty thoughts, so the conclusion is that she also has a conspiracy!

Yuan Shanting also felt that Li Baolu must have a conspiracy, and he didn't want to exchange kindness for news, but he was very itchy, what to do, he really wanted to know if she would really betray her master if he agreed.

I really want to know, I really want to know.

As the hall master of Asking Fate Pavilion, what he pursued was to solve doubts, but now he couldn't ask questions, couldn't get answers, Yuan Shanting felt that he was going to suffocate to death.

After holding back, Yuan Shanting couldn't help but asked: "Nv Xia Li, if I really agree, will you really tell us the whereabouts of the respected master?"

Li Baolu smiled at them, but did not answer. How to understand this smile depends on their understanding.

Yuan Shanting: ...

"Ma'am," Xiao Er hurried up, "Five people came from outside. They said they were former servants of your family, and now they want to see Madam."

The smile on Li Baolu's face was even bigger, it finally came!

Instead of being controlled by the Qin family, it is better to use the old servants of the direct branch. They have experience and ability, and they will come to the door again if they are not in a bad situation or a loyal servant, or both.

Signing the deed of sale is indeed much better than using the Qin family.

Li Baolu asked Yuan Shanting and Su Anjian to drink and chat by themselves for a while, and she went to meet the "old servant".

Li Baolu didn't avoid the Qin family's maid who came with her, so everyone knew what Li Baolu was going to do when she came to the city this time.

But no one dared to say anything, they still had to serve Li Baolu and the people who came to defect to them with all their heart.

After asking their names, their previous positions, their experiences over the years and their plans after reselling, Li Baolu marked them down in a notebook and said, "You guys come again tomorrow, and I will invite someone to come and sign a contract. Once it’s done, we’ll make arrangements.”

The five knelt on the ground and kowtowed gratefully, "Mrs. Xie is very kind."

Li Baolu got up and helped him up, and sighed: "Recalling you back to the Qin Mansion also fulfills the master-servant relationship between you and uncle."

All five of them lowered their heads and wiped their tears. Life as a slave is not easy, but life as a commoner is not so easy either.

They have been servants since they were young. They can serve tea and water, study ink and spread paper, keep accounts, manage shops, socialize with merchants, and even deal with officials and make suggestions, but they can't farm.

But without capital and a family to support, it is difficult for them to achieve anything.

The key is that they are used to obeying orders, and they can handle the affairs of the master's house decisively, but they always fail to do things in their own house due to various reasons.

Although their life will not be very difficult, it is much worse than their previous life.

It is good to be a good citizen, which means that except for committing crimes and being arrested by the government, theoretically no one can decide their life or death.

But the danger to their lives is not high when they work in the Lizhi. The Lizhi never kills slaves. If a slave commits a crime, he will be punished a few times. The worst thing is to send him to the government for sentencing or resale go out.

But as long as they are cautious in their words and deeds, it will be no problem to live in peace and prosperity as before.

So as soon as they learned that the master had been rehabilitated and that the cousin and his wife had returned to their hometowns to take care of the master's property, they ran to join him.

Originally, they wanted to go directly to Qin's Village, but they didn't even go to the entrance of the village. The five of them had no choice but to squat near the inn or at the main intersection of Qin's Village and wait.

Li Baolu comforted the five people with kindness and power, and then said softly: "The government has returned all of uncle's property, and there are many servants who are lacking. I know there are still many people who want to come back, but our time is limited, so we won't be here. Ru Ning stayed for too long. Uncle took pity on you and couldn't bear you to go to nowhere, so my husband decided to use these three days to win over old people. If we have the heart, we will use them if we are capable and loyal, but we will use the position that is still lacking after three days. They will select people from the Qin clan, or buy them from outside, and those who come again can only be assessed with them. If you still have old acquaintances, please let me know. If they are interested, they will come within three days Come on."

The five people were overjoyed. This is because the master opened the back door for them, which meant that those who came to join in the first three days would stay as long as they were not too bad.

The five immediately knelt down and kowtowed to say goodbye, and went to inform the people they knew.

Not long after the five people left, people came to seek refuge one after another, and reached a climax in the afternoon, several groups of people rushed towards the inn, and when they arrived at the inn, they lined up in an orderly manner. He used to work in the Qin Mansion, what he was good at, what he had been doing in the past few years, and what he wanted to do after returning to the Qin Mansion.

Ziluo and Zishan were also literate, so Li Baolu took two stacks of blank paper for them to record, and selected five literate and good handwriting from the crowd, and set up a table for them to count. In this way, there were seven teams in the inn, and the number of people who came was quickly registered.

Li Baolu sat on the other side, called the people who had made the records to ask some things in detail, and roughly revealed some of their future work and life arrangements.

The panic-stricken old servants gradually calmed down, and they became more and more cautious when answering questions.

Yuan Shanting and Su Anjian sat on the second floor and looked down. They were a little bored at first, but now they are filled with admiration.

Even Su Anjian, who has always been cold-faced, couldn't help but said: "No wonder the family can be passed down for a hundred years, or even a thousand years. It is difficult for one out of a hundred ordinary people to be able to read, but look at the servants who came to join us, six out of ten can read." , including those maids."

"The apprentice of this great hero Bai is not simple," Yuan Shanting said: "It was obvious that her lightness kung fu has been passed down by the great hero Bai that day. Come out? But looking at what she has done today, it is obvious that she still has a lot to learn, and she can practice kung fu so well."

Li Baolu is too young, it is difficult to restrain a group of servants, but she still dares to use the spies buried beside her and the old servants who just came to join her, the most important thing is that everyone still listens to her.

This is not something that ordinary people can do. Yuan Shanting thinks he is clever, but when he first took over Xintangkou, he did not have little secret fights with his subordinates.

It took a lot of effort just to subdue them.

Li Baolu is so outstanding, he wants to know if she will really betray his master.

Yuan Shanting kept looking at Su Anjian.

Su Anjian said: "Don't look at me, you were the one who insisted on going back at that time, I was just helping, even if I didn't help, you and your subordinates can save them, not so much the grace of saving lives It belongs to both of us, rather it belongs to you alone, if you want to ask, just ask."

Su Anjian paused and said, "If you don't ask, I'm afraid you will suffocate to death."

As a good friend, Su Anjian naturally knew that the reason why Yuan Shanting went to Wenyuan Pavilion to serve his life was not so much because he loved money, but because he enjoyed the process of chasing doubts and collecting information.

So he didn't stop him in this matter.

Yuan Shanting struggled all night, and finally when Li Baolu came to the inn again the next day, he still couldn't help asking, "Nv Xia Li, tell me the whereabouts of your master, and it will be repaying my life-saving grace."
