When Xiao Feng returned home, Qi Jiguang and his servant Qi An were already waiting at the gate.
Because there were a group of women left at home, and Xiao Feng didn't want the servants sent by Zhang Tianci, so they simply didn't knock on the door.
There was a reason why Xiao Feng didn't want the servants bought by Zhang Tianci. Zhang Tianci's servants came from a variety of sources, and there were even people who prostituted themselves on the street. Xiao Feng didn't dare to use such servants who couldn't check their details.
Yan Shifan is full of tricks. Although he is now afraid of Lu Bing and cannot directly attack Xiao Feng, it does not mean that he cannot use other means.
It was definitely a good idea to get two spies to sneak into the Xiao Mansion, so Xiao Feng decided that he could have servants, but they had to be vetted and accepted by himself.
Since Qi Jiguang's master and servant are now moving in, there is no need to worry about the servants' protection.
Xiao Feng knocked on the door, and it was Zhan Yu who opened the door!
Xiao Feng was stunned: "Why are you here?"
Qiaoqiao couldn't run as fast as him behind him, and Qiaoqiao, who was panting from exhaustion, followed up and shouted.
"This yard is so big that you have to run so far to open the door. Master, this brother Zhan came here this morning. He said he was fired by King Yu and had nowhere to go, so he came to our house."
Zhan Yu had helped Xiao Feng fight before, and he had met Qiaoqiao several times. They were familiar with each other, so Qiaoqiao didn't recognize him.
Xiao Feng raised his eyebrows. Seeing that there were many people outside, he didn't bother too much and pulled Zhan Yu inside.
Qi Jiguang also helped Xiao Feng fight, Qiaoqiao recognized him at a glance, closed the door with a smile on his face, and led the Qi family's master and servant inside.
Although renovations are being carried out in full swing in the yard, there are quite a lot of houses in the Tan family's old house and Xiao Feng's new house. It is easy to find a living room in the first row of houses that does not require any work.
A few people sat down, and then Qiaoniang and Wang's wife brought tea over.
Xiao Feng quickly stood up: "Sister-in-law, you are a guest in my house, you can't be like this."
Qiao Niang also complained: "I told Mrs. Wang to stop moving, but she insisted on coming with me, and I couldn't stop her."
The wife of the Wang family shed tears and said: "Master Xiao, just let me work with my sister Qiao Niang.
Yingxiang and I are in trouble. If you can save us, why should we still be guests in your house? If you insist on not letting me work, then you will drive me and Yingxiang away."
Xiao Feng put himself in his shoes and thought about it, and that might indeed be the case.
He nodded: "Whatever you want to do, I won't stop you. But you don't need to consider yourself a slave. In my family, even Qiao Niang and Qiao Qiao are not slaves."
Just as Qiao Niang was about to speak out, Xiao Feng glanced at her and Qiao Niang understood, so she stopped talking.
Xiao Feng smiled slightly. He refused to let Qiao Niang consider herself a slave. He said this many times, but every time she came back with a lot of reasoning.
I didn't expect that Mrs. Wang's arrival would have such a smooth effect.
After the two women went down, Xiao Feng turned around and saw the three of them looking at him in shock, and couldn't help but touch his face.
"There are flowers growing on my face? What are you looking at?"
Qi Jiguang spoke first: "Most of the servants in my Qi family are soldiers who followed our ancestors in the war. Generations of families have had children, and they rarely buy slaves from outside.
Therefore, the Qi family is very generous to their slaves, but I have never seen them to the extent you are."
Zhan Yu nodded: "Master Qi is right, King Yu is kind and generous, and the rules in the palace are very strict.
Even my family, which can be considered a wealthy family, also has some domestic slaves, only those who are under strict control and not those who are indulgent."
Qi An hesitated to speak, because he knew that his status was not suitable for him to speak on such an occasion.
When Xiao Feng saw it, he smiled and said, "Uncle, feel free to tell me what you have to say. I would like to hear your opinion."
When Qi An saw Qi Jiguang nodding, he knelt down and saluted, and then spoke only when he got up.
"Master Xiao, I have a truth to tell you. If you are rude, please forgive me.
Since ancient times, there will be loyal servants and unruly slaves, but loyal servants will become unruly slaves, but it is difficult for unruly slaves to become loyal servants.
If strict control is exercised, a loyal servant will always remain a loyal servant, and a unruly slave can only stay honest and do no harm, even if he is unruly.
If it is indulged and the slaves are made to think that the master's family is loyal and can be bullied, then the unruly slaves will become presumptuous and the loyal servants will slowly be led astray.
Therefore, it is better to have strict control than to indulge."
After Qi An finished speaking, Qi Jiguang and Zhan Yu both nodded in agreement. Obviously, they very much agreed with this.
Xiao Feng smiled kindly and said: "Thank you for your kind words, uncle. However, I am born with such a loose character, so strict control cannot be achieved, and I do not believe that human nature is all evil.
A loyal servant is a loyal servant, and a cunning slave is a cunning slave. Let him go.
It’s just that I hold grudges very much, and anyone who offends me, even if they are a treacherous slave, will not end well.”
He had a kind smile and a gentle tone, but the three of them felt a cool breeze getting into the back of their necks at the same time.
So far, there are only four people who have offended him.
One Zhao Er, after being beaten by him, stopped walking on the street for a long time and only dared to follow him secretly.
Tan Xinren was bankrupted by him and fled the capital. The place where everyone is sitting here drinking tea is a witness.
A Shi Zhenxiang, now Zhang Tianci has invested in Zuixianlou. Although there has been no action yet, it is obvious that he wants to deal with him.
Liu Tong, this guy is fine and has been promoted. But without Liu Xueer, it's hard to say what the father-in-law's fate would be.
The people who secretly offended him, and Qi Jiguang and Zhan Yu also knew it, were Zhao Wenhua and Yan Shifan.
Zhao Wenhua was set up by Xiao Feng several times and almost failed. Now he hides as far away from Xiao Feng as he can, wishing he could never meet again.
After Yan Shifan almost broke the bottom line that time, he and Xiao Feng are now basically having secret confrontations, and it is still unclear who has the upper hand.
After such an inventory, both of them took a deep breath: This guy looks gentle and amiable, but he is actually a guy who will retaliate for his anger!
Let’s talk about the slaves who can reach the sky. If a slave can reach the sky, then he can only be the servant of the emperor. He is talking about Yan Shoufu...
For a moment, the scene was extremely quiet. Even Qi An, who didn't understand the deeper meaning, felt a huge pressure, and his eyes when looking at Xiao Feng became a little flinching.
Xiao Feng laughed loudly: "Are you kidding me? Did you really fool me? Am I so narrow-minded?"
Qi Jiguang and Zhan Yu looked at each other, with the same meaning in their eyes: It's hard to say.
Lao Dao, who was in the charity hall, and An Sizheng, who was in the Daolu Department, felt a chill on the back of their necks almost at the same time, expressing their sympathy.
Xiao Feng looked at Zhan Yu: "Let's get down to business. What did Prince Yu tell you?"
Zhan Yu glanced at Qi Jiguang and saw how smart Qi Jiguang was, and immediately stretched himself.
"Lord Landlord, please allocate a house to us two. It can't be too bad! Even if you don't pay, don't let us sleep in the firewood shed!"
Xiao Feng smiled, knowing that he wanted to avoid suspicion, and the less we knew about this matter, the better, so he pointed casually.
"The houses in the first row are for men. You two can choose the one you like. You can live in whichever one you like."
The two of them took their luggage and went to choose a house, and then Zhan Yu spoke.
"Prince Yu didn't tell me anything. He just said that he would no longer ask me to be a guard and asked me to find another job."
Xiao Feng looked at Zhan Yu curiously: "I haven't asked you yet, since you are from a martial arts family, why do you think of becoming a royal guard?
Want to take a shortcut into officialdom? Betting on the prince is not a good way."
Zhan Yu curled his lips: "Let's not tell you what I think. Why don't you tell me, gambling on the prince is not good?
Banzai only has two sons in total, so I have at least a half chance of winning."
Xiao Feng shook his head: "Wrong, you only have a 10% winning rate at most."
Zhan Yu looked at him like a monster: "Did you say that Long Live has eight illegitimate children?"
Xiao Feng said calmly: "Long live even if you have two sons, you only have a 10% chance of winning."
Zhan Yu smiled and said: "I told King Yu that some of your teachings may be true, but most of the time you are just lying, but he still doesn't believe it.
If you can tell the truth, I will obey you and follow your advice from now on; if you can't tell the truth, I won't bother you anymore."
Xiao Feng took a leisurely sip of tea: "You think that one of the two princes will always become the emperor, so your winning rate is 50%, right?"
Zhan Yu smiled and said: "Isn't it? My arithmetic is not that bad."
Xiao Feng looked at him: "Have you never thought about the possibility that neither of these two princes will become emperor?"
