A beautiful lady with smooth skin and refined temperament sat quietly at the head of the throne, while four maids with serious expressions stood on both sides. Although the beauty did not smile, it made people look at her like a spring breeze. But although the four maids
There was no anger, but it was as if he was suppressing anger and pretending to be calm! The atmosphere was quite strange.
Feng Jiuxiao had never seen those four maids before, so he thought they must be spies planted by the butler. He cupped his fists at the young lady and said with a smile, "Long time no see, sister-in-law!"
Mrs. Qi still had such a noble temperament and elegant manners. She said calmly and calmly: "Yes, long time no see. You are growing up very fast. Are you already so tall? I'm afraid you are even taller than the young Marquis."
!What’s the matter with your visit this time?”
Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said softly: "Ask my sister-in-law to borrow money."
The young lady seemed stunned. The little beggar had never mentioned money in front of them for so many years. This time, the little marquis disappeared, but he came to borrow money instead. There was something fishy! She thought quietly for a long time, and then stared at Feng Jiuxiao.
He asked quietly: "How much do you want to borrow?"
“Of course, the more, the better!”
"The more, the better? But you have to have a rough range, right? One hundred taels? One thousand taels? Or ten thousand taels? Our family's money is limited after all."
"Haha, why bother my sister-in-law for such a small amount? At least one million taels!"
"One million taels?" Even though the young lady is used to big events, she couldn't help but be shocked by Feng Jiuxiao! "Why did you borrow so much money?"
"Of course it's a big deal!" Feng Jiuxiao suddenly turned to the chief steward and smiled, "Is the chief steward interested? Count on you!"
The butler just smiled, shook his head and said, "No money!"
Feng Jiuxiao raised her brows, shrugged her shoulders, and said half truthfully and half falsely, pretending to be mysterious: "What a pity! This opportunity cannot be missed, it will never come again!"
The butler just smiled and said nothing.
The young lady stared straight at Feng Jiuxiao and said, "I can lend you the money, but the money is in the hands of the butler now. You can just let the butler handle it later."
But the chief steward said: "Madam, the money is in your hands."
The young lady said calmly: "Have you forgotten, butler, that you have all the keys to the bank?"
The chief steward frowned, his face clearly displeased, "Madam! I do have the key to the bank, but there are only tens of thousands of taels of silver in the bank, and those large banknotes are still in Madam's possession!"
Mrs. Qi's face was as cold as frost, and she said coldly: "Housekeeper, the banknotes in my hand are all brought by me from my mother's family. I saw the young Marquis handing over the banknotes to you with my own eyes!
Why, you didn’t forget it, did you?” The housekeeper didn’t expect that the young lady who had been swallowing her anger would suddenly attack today and caught herself off guard! The topic of the banknote in his hand was something he had planned to bring up just now.
In the past, I didn't expect that the young lady would hold on and insist that it was in her own hands. This was obviously a slap in the face! The first housekeeper's mind suddenly changed and he laughed quickly, "Oh, I suddenly remembered that the young marquis also
There is a secret room. I'll go look for it. It may be there. My brain is not what it used to be. The more things happen, the more forgetful I will be."
How dare he, a butler, openly confront his wife? Isn't this disrespectful to the world? Especially in front of Feng Jiuxiao, he had to act normal. Feng Jiuxiao had just killed many people, and the smell of blood on his hands was still very strong.
!Using his current martial arts to compete with Feng Jiuxiao is like hitting an egg against a rock!
You can't take it by force, you can only take it wisely!
When he was about to leave, he said seriously to the four maids: "Please serve my wife and guests properly and don't run around!" The four maids said in unison: "Yes!" The four of them looked dull, like four puppets.
Feng Jiuxiao had long known that these four maids were protecting her but secretly monitoring her. Feng Jiuxiao admired the young lady very much. She knew that these four people were closely monitoring her every day, but she could handle it calmly. She neither complained to the housekeeper nor complained to the four maids.
When a person vents his anger for no reason, it’s like everything happens. Being able to stay calm during big events is something that only a few people can achieve! He is truly a hero among women!
Feng Jiuxiao knew that the housekeeper putting the young lady under house arrest in the Qi Mansion actually had the meaning of "coercing the emperor to control the princes". In this way, the top and bottom of the Tiandao Sect could only follow the leadership of the big housekeeper. The interior of the Tiandao Sect was actually divided into two
One faction is a new force constantly supported by the big housekeeper, and the other is the old team of the young marquis. The contradiction between the two factions is getting deeper and deeper. On the surface, it seems that the big housekeeper is constantly expanding his power and constantly weakening the young marquis within the gang.
The influence is to exclude dissidents, but in fact, the great steward is subtly adjusting the purpose and original intention of the Little Marquis when he founded the Tiandao Sect!
Although the young Marquis had the ambition to dominate the martial arts world at that time, he also wanted to occupy a place in the martial arts world when he established the Tiandao Sect! But at the beginning of its establishment, he set out his sect clearly. Although the Tiandao Sect did not set up such a shocking banner as "Practice the Way for Heaven", it was established
Gangs are just for the sake of fighting for fame and fortune, but they must at least be thieves! There are things you must do and things you shouldn't do!
To put it simply, you have to make money, but you have to have principles and a bottom line as a human being!
However, the big housekeeper has now changed the original intention of the little marquis, and has been involved in side businesses such as casinos and brothels. He has made a lot of money, but his reputation has begun to get bad! Because this kind of business will inevitably lead to "family members being destroyed, wives and children being separated"!
The Marquis once said that every coin earned from doing this kind of business is stained with the blood and tears of countless people, and will be punished! The Tiandao Sect will never get involved in this kind of business! So when the big boss
When the steward suddenly announced his involvement in these side businesses, many people were shocked and inexplicable! But now almost all the elders and guardians are on the side of the steward, especially the new young members who join the gang. They almost blindly worship the steward and respond to every call.
!
As far as the elder is concerned, both the wife and the young lady are in the hands of the big housekeeper, and they have no choice but to obey!
As far as everyone is concerned, the elders and Dharma protectors are already on the side of the great steward. How can we not follow this general trend?
For the chief steward, "I have already established my power, who dares to oppose me?"
As one goes and the other goes, the power of the big housekeeper gradually gains the upper hand!
Among the three Mingtangs stationed abroad, the leader of Qianyuan Hall has been replaced by his confidant. Although the leaders of the other two halls are not of the same mind as him, the several incense masters under them are all their own, and everyone interacts with each other.
Contain and watch out for each other! Only in troubled waters can you fish, and in chaos can you make profits! Only when your subordinates control each other and balance yourself can you stay on the Diaoyutai! The bright hall has basically been settled, but the most troublesome thing is the eight secret halls, which you usually don't have at all
Opportunities come into contact, and they are not able to penetrate their own forces for the time being. However, because of the special situation they are in, they dare not openly oppose themselves, and can only watch the fire from the other side. This is equivalent to the Eight Secret Halls not existing, and the two factions within the Tiandao Sect
No one can use it for help!
God helps me! The butler wakes up laughing every night!
So now the big butler in Tiandao Sect is acting arbitrarily and he is the only one who dominates!
So now there are two more casinos and three brothels in Hengyang City! Even the young lady didn’t object, who dared to object?
Feng Jiuxiao sat quietly and thought a lot. Although the housekeeper had left the room, the young lady was still not in a hurry to speak.
She didn't speak, but Feng Jiuxiao didn't want to be left alone. He looked at the four maids and asked with a smile: "Where are these four beauties from?"
The four maids did not speak.
Feng Jiuxiao smiled indifferently. He came here mainly to confirm the safety of his wife. Now the wife is safe, but where is the child? Feng Jiuxiao asked naturally: "Madam, how is your wife?"
The madam's expression seemed to have undergone an imperceptible change, but it returned to normal in an instant. She said calmly: "It's okay."
Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said, "Can I see her?"
The young lady was silent for a moment, then shook her head and said, "No!"
Feng Jiuxiao thought to herself: The little daughter is probably held hostage by the housekeeper in another place, and even the wife can't easily see him! It seems that killing the big housekeeper in one fell swoop will definitely hurt the little daughter, so we can only act with caution!
Feng Jiuxiao pretended to be embarrassed and stopped talking. She sat down and waited quietly for the butler.
After a while, the butler came in with some silver notes, handed them to Feng Jiuxiao and said, "This is one million taels of silver notes. Please take a look at them."
Feng Jiuxiao quickly stood up, took the banknote, and said with a smile: "What's wrong with you? I believe in the conduct of the housekeeper! Thank you!" Then he put the banknote into his arms, turned around, bowed to the young lady, clasped his fists and said, "Sister-in-law,
Brother, I won’t bother you. Goodbye!" His tone of voice was a little slick, like a villain who treats you like an uncle when he asks you to borrow money, but becomes an uncle once he gets the money.
The butler held up his hand and said with a smile: "Brother, why are you so anxious? Didn't we agree to catch up on old times tonight? Besides, my wife is here too. Do you think it's time to issue an IOU?"
Feng Jiuxiao suddenly realized and said: "Oh, you see, my memory is not good anymore. How can I not write the IOU? Let's write it now!" But Mrs. Qi interrupted: "No need." Feng Jiuxiao looked at Mrs. Qi and then at the housekeeper.
, said with a bright smile: "Since my sister-in-law said she won't fight, thank you very much! As for reminiscing tonight, housekeeper, you are so busy with work, I feel a little embarrassed to bother you!"
The chief steward smiled and said: "What's the point? We haven't seen each other for a long time. We must not get drunk today!"
Seeing that he refused to let her go today, Feng Jiuxiao had no choice but to respond: "Okay, but housekeeper, you are going to vomit blood today." From the corner of his eye, he could see the worried look in Mrs. Qi's eyes, and he raised his eyebrows
The magical power of voice transmission said to Mrs. Qi: "Sister-in-law, only you can hear what I am saying now. You pretend everything is normal and don't show any abnormalities! I will definitely rescue your daughter, and the young prince will be back in a few days.
! Don’t worry, I will be on guard against you, housekeeper!” Madam’s eyes flashed but her face remained expressionless. Feng Jiuxiao knew that she had listened! Madam Qi’s determination was really good, and she really didn’t show any flaws at all!
At this time, the butler asked curiously: "What? Vomiting blood? No matter how big your appetite is now, how big can you be? You eat it openly, I will take care of it! If nothing else, you still have a little money!"
Feng Jiuxiao chuckled and said, "How do you know I am a person?"
The butler was startled for a moment and then suddenly realized: "Oh, I know, your eight little brothers, it's easy to say, call them together, it will be lively!"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Originally, we agreed to take care of my business today, but since the butler has the order, my brothers don't dare to disobey! Both of us are good brothers, and it's hard to shirk it, so we had to make this decision!"
The butler said cheerfully: "What's the matter? If it were me, I would do the same thing! Just a few more people! See you at Wufeng Chaoyang Tower tonight!"
Feng Jiuxiao said: "Okay, see you there or not!"
Under the escort of two men in black, Feng Jiuxiao returned to the gate of Qi Mansion along the original road.
Looking at the familiar pavilions and pavilions around her along the way, Feng Jiuxiao was filled with emotions. On the surface, every place seemed calm, but in fact, there were murderous intentions behind it! The number of hidden stakes arranged by the chief steward in Qi Mansion was four times more than before.
! In other words, the defense power has been strengthened four times! If an outsider breaks in casually, he will be shot to death by random arrows and turned into a hedgehog or chopped into a pulp by random knives!
Even though I can come and go freely, how can I ensure that my wife is safe and sound? I can't kill all the men in black hiding in the dark in one fell swoop, so I need to think long and hard about rescuing Mrs. Qi!
In less than a year, such a huge change has occurred in Qi Mansion. It is really regrettable that things have changed and people have changed.
After planning all the way, the moment Feng Jiuxiao stepped out of the door, the plan in Feng Jiuxiao's mind had already taken shape.
The moment the door slowly closed, it seemed that it was not just these people who were isolated, but two worlds!
After returning to the base camp, Chenghuang Temple, Feng Jiuxiao informed Pang Shishi and asked the eight brothers to book a few rooms at the Xiangshui Renjia Inn. Feng Jiuxiao asked Pang Shishi to find a house as a place for everyone to stay.
Sure enough, Fifteen worked quickly and already had an idea in one afternoon. It was a manor in the western suburbs, covering a large area. The original owner was a Beijing official who had been discharged and returned to his fields. He just passed away this year. His children grew up in the capital.
Most of my friends were in the capital, so as soon as the old man passed away, he thought about moving back to the capital. Because he didn't want to come back, he wanted to sell the old house.
After Feng Jiuxiao and Pang Shishi settled the brothers, they rode horses and hurried to the old house.
When she met the owner, both parties were very straightforward. The other party offered her a flat price of 80,000 taels of silver. Feng Jiuxiao didn't hesitate to pay for the silver on the spot!
This village covers an area of 200 acres! It has nine twists and turns, countless pavilions and pavilions, and a mere 80,000 taels is a great deal!
After getting the title deed of the house, Feng Jiuxiao and Pang Shiwu immediately returned to the inn.
The original owner said he would move out within three days and the keys would be sent to Xiangshui people!
The two sides closed the deal without saying a total of ten words from beginning to end. It was so happy! Although Pang Shiwu always admired his eldest brother, today he sold 80,000 taels of silver without blinking an eye! I want to describe it.
At this time, Pang Shishi searched for words to express his greater admiration for Feng Jiuxiao for a long time, but he still only had the word "admire", and he couldn't find any other words!
In Feng Jiuxiao's room in the Xiangshui family, Feng Jiuxiao and her eight brothers gathered together.
Feng Jiuxiao got straight to the point and said: "Tonight, the butler is treating us to a treat. Let's all go. The young marquis's daughter is now in the hands of others. The butler must be related to these people, so you should keep your eyes open. You must pretend to be confused.
You are confused, you must be shrewd when you should be shrewd! I will solemnly give you a task. You must find out the hiding place of the young prince's daughter. Once you find the target, you must not act without authorization and report to me quickly! If you don't find the target, don't be reluctant to fight, so as not to
I need everyone to get things done safely and safely, instead of losing troops and making heavy sacrifices for one thing! After I finish speaking, who still doesn’t understand?"
The brothers are all smart people. They have followed the little beggar Feng Jiuxiao for many years, and they have a very tacit understanding with each other. Everyone has heard about the changes that happened in Qi Mansion in the early days, and they have heard more rumors than anyone else. So everyone
There was not much surprise or surprise. Sanhuazi said: "Brother, I understand. If you want to save others, you must also pay attention to your own safety!"
Feng Jiuxiao smiled and said: "You are so awesome! If you don't see me for a day, you should be impressed. Summarize it well and be concise and concise!"
Sanhuazi was praised by Feng Jiuxiao for being very flattering, and the other brothers deliberately showed disdain. Pang Shishi even pretended to be disdainful and said: "Hey, yo, you should look at me with admiration, I still look like a bear when I look at it from left to right.
, nothing has changed, why did my head suddenly become enlightened? Oh, I think about it, I just stole two pieces of tofu from the house of the Tofu Xishi Widow Zhang last night and ate them, and I suddenly became smarter, hahaha!"
The brothers burst into laughter.
Feng Jiuxiao was used to their fights, so he knew they were joking. He was very relieved to see that everyone understood his intentions!
Feng Jiuxiao said: "From now on, I will teach everyone how to practice superior martial arts! Otherwise, if someone comes knocking on my door in the future, I will just stare!"
Si Lunzi and Da Hua Ya looked at each other, and both showed smiles of "as expected". They had long discussed in private that Feng Jiuxiao would definitely teach them martial arts. The key was when to teach them, and they made a bet about this!
It’s limited to ten days! If you teach within ten days, four fools will win! If you teach foreigners within ten days, you’ll win!
Feng Jiuxiao said: "I can only teach you orally, and I cannot leave any words to avoid being stolen or robbed by others, so you must remember it with your heart. It doesn't matter even if you can't understand it for a while. As long as you keep it in your mind, you will eventually understand it in the future!"
Everyone felt it was reasonable and nodded together.
Feng Jiuxiao looked at the sky outside the window, adjusted her clothes, and said calmly: "Brothers, let's go!"
