A short, fat middle-aged man with a mustache and the appearance of a butler, wearing a square-cornered hat and holding a gong, is recruiting new servants for the Xie family.
Lin Yan looked at the notice board next to the housekeeper and found that the requirements for the servants were very simple. The maid could make tea and pour water, the handyman could chop wood and carry water, have decent appearance, and be diligent and flexible in hands and feet. These were all. Requested.
Of course, based on Lin Yan's experience as a handyman in the Xia Mansion for ten years, he understands that once you enter the mansion and become a servant, you will naturally be taught how to do this and do that. The rules will only become more numerous at that time. of.
Probably Huyang City is indeed a livable city. The residents are used to living a stable life and are not very short of money, so so far, no one has signed up.
Lin Yan knew that the housekeeper had to recruit twenty servants, which would definitely not be something he could do in a short time, so he left the crowd and returned to the hotel where Ye Xi'er was staying.
"Lin Yan, why are you back so soon? Is it because the pursuit of you and me in Tiandi City hasn't stopped yet?" Ye Xi'er put down her sewing and said with a worried look.
Lin Yan told Ye Xier his plan.
"Lin Yan, have you really decided to become a member of the Xie family?"
Lin Yan nodded, and then said: "The Xie family has become more prosperous, so they will only stay in Huyang City, so that the Xie family can be famous in front of others and receive the envy of everyone, so I think since the Xie family's roots He will always be in Huyang City, so Xie Si, a bastard, will naturally find time to go home and show off in front of the residents of Huyang City."
Ye Xi'er nodded thoughtfully.
Lin Yan continued: "As long as Xie Si returns to the Xie family, I will have the best chance to kill her. Without Xie Si's obstruction, it will be much easier for us to return to Tiandi City in the future."
Ye Xi'er couldn't think of a reason to refute, so she had to agree, even though she was very reluctant to watch Lin Yan take risks.
In the afternoon, Lin Yan was ready to leave.
Lin Yan left all the money to Ye Xi'er so that Ye Xi'er could stay in this hotel for at least half a month.
In addition, Lin Yan changed his eyebrows, greatly changed his hairstyle, and also made some changes to his skin color. In addition, he deliberately wore shabby clothes. No matter how he looked, he looked like a poor man in his thirties. It didn't match Lin Yan's handsome twenty-year-old face.
After doing this, Lin Yan returned to the corner of the street.
The recruitment of housekeepers is still going on.
Lin Yan was interrogated by the housekeeper. The housekeeper saw that Lin Yan was still quite strong, but the key was that he came from the outer city to escape famine. He had no identity background and was the best candidate for the job, so he immediately agreed.
Throughout the afternoon, the housekeeper only recruited five servants, including three maids and two handymen.
Back at Xie's house, Lin Yan, like other servants, naturally had to live in the utility room.
It's similar to the time in Xia Mansion. Although the Xie family is bigger and richer in property, they still treat their servants like that.
When he arrived, he didn't even have a drink or a meal, so the housekeeper ordered him to chop wood and carry water, euphemistically saying that he should "investigate and investigate first."
In order to deal with Xie Si, Lin Yan resumed the handyman job he had done from the age of seven to seventeen, and easily got the satisfaction of the housekeeper.
After negotiating the monthly salary, receiving the clothes for work, and eating a bowl of bald noodles and a cold steamed bun, it got dark and the day finally passed.
From then on, Lin Yan had to chop wood, carry water, and do other miscellaneous things every day, completely becoming a servant.
No one knew that he, who looked inconspicuous and unknown, would be a master of the fifth level of the Sky Control Realm!
A week later, Lin Yan had already gained a clearer understanding of the overall layout of the Xie Mansion and the composition of the Xie family's population through walking around the Xie Mansion.
Lin Yan remained calm and continued doing his chores.
Finally, the opportunity has come!
After the Xie family's newly expanded house was completed, it was natural to show it off in front of the residents of Huyang City, so many people were invited to celebrate. And Lin Yan heard the housekeeper chatting with people, saying that a woman like Xie Si also wanted to return!
One day later, Xie Si swaggered back to Xie's house, surrounded by forty people.
The special products and gifts brought from Tiandi City alone filled two entire carriages.
Xie Si, who had earned enough face in front of others, ordered his servants to cook as soon as he got home. It was already one o'clock in the afternoon, which was one of the few rest times for the servants in the day. But since they had orders, they had no choice but to get up. To do things.
Lin Yan heard that many servants were dissatisfied with Xie Si.
"Xie Si, let me let you be arrogant for one more afternoon!" Lin Yan thought to himself.
At ten o'clock in the evening, when the other servants were asleep, Lin Yan sneaked out.
According to his understanding of Xie's mansion, Lin Yan successfully arrived at the independent courtyard where Xie Si lived.
Unexpectedly, Xie Si was not asleep yet, there was still light in the room, and there was obviously the sound of conversation coming out.
Lin Yan easily avoided the patrols of several guards, sneaked into the garden in front of the room, and heard the conversation between Xie Si and her parents in the room.
It turns out that Xie Si said that he wanted to take a group of servants who knew how to work from home and go to the Lin family in Tiandi City to work.
For the specific reason, Xie Si just said that the servants here are more obedient, and they don't know how to do anything, making them very easy to manage.
Xie Si’s parents quickly agreed.
Then the door was opened and the two of them walked out.
Lin Yan continued to lurk, preparing to wait until the two of them were far away before entering the room and killing the stinky Xie Si.
However, at this time, Lin Yan suddenly heard Xie Si talking to himself.
"Humph, Lin Xiuping, since your son and wife are dead, half of the secret book is naturally unavailable, and there is no use keeping you. Your Excellency has already taken action. First, send all the servants in your house to Lin Xianping. I will isolate you so that you will not get any help. Then, I will take this group of servants back. In this way, you will be incapacitated every day. At that time, as long as the adults give an order , I guarantee you will die inexplicably!"
Against the backdrop of the lights, Xie Si's proudly laughing figure looked so despicable and shameless.
Lin Yan clenched his fists tightly, his eyes spitting fire.
If I hadn't overheard Xie Si's words by accident, even if I killed Xie Si tonight, my father would still be in danger!
Lin Yan immediately decided not to kill Xie Si first, but followed Xie Si to the Lin family mansion and became a servant next to his father. Only in this way can he truly get in touch with his father who was imprisoned in disguise and find a way to save him.
So, Lin Yan secretly left the garden again and returned to the utility room where the servants lived.
However, Lin Yan got up again within ten minutes of lying in bed.
Because Lin Yan thought that if he left the Xie family and went to the Lin family mansion to rescue his father, he might not know when. Moreover, the plan might fail and he would be in danger of being killed. Naturally, he could not leave Ye Xi'er alone in the lake. In a hotel in Yangcheng.
Lin Yan thought for a while and finally decided to let Ye Xi'er go to Jinghangzhai.
Only there could Ye Xier live a peaceful and undisturbed life.
Lin Yan then sneaked out of Xie's house and knocked on Ye Xi'er's door at nearly eleven o'clock in the evening.
Ye Xi'er opened the door with a wary look on her face, and felt relieved when she saw that it was Lin Yan.
Lin Yan told Ye Xi'er his plan. This was the third time he told Ye Xi'er his plan. He was also helpless, but the reality was such that he could only temporarily aggrieve Ye Xi'er. .
Ye Xi'er was very considerate of Lin Yan.
She didn't even ask Lin Yan why he was going to the Lin family mansion. She just told Lin Yan to be careful and then promised that she would enter the city early tomorrow morning and then go to Jinghangzhai.
Lin Yan hugged Ye Xi'er, kissed Ye Xi'er affectionately on the forehead, hugged Ye Xi'er and said softly: "Xier, following me will really make you suffer."
Ye Xi'er didn't say anything, she just held Lin Yan tightly for a long time.
"Xier, I have to go."
Lin Yan reluctantly left Ye Xi'er and walked out of the room.
He didn't know what fate he would face tomorrow and in the future, but he only hoped that Ye Xi'er would be safe.
Outside, the moon is bright and the stars are few.
Lin Yan returned to the utility room of Xie Mansion.
The next day, the Xie family held a lively celebration to celebrate the new house.
On the third day, the housekeeper specially selected a group of diligent and quick-working servants from the Xie Mansion and brought them to Xie Si. Lin Yan relied on his previous experience as a servant and had done an outstanding job in this profession, so he was naturally selected.
A total of twenty-one people are selected and will be taken to the Lin family mansion.
Lin Yan knew that he and the other twenty people had just changed places to do things. Of course, this was under the premise that he did not know Xie Si's true purpose.
But now, Lin Yan understands the purpose of Xie Si's sudden change, so he won't just watch something happen to his father.
Xie Si took a casual look at the twenty-one of them, and when he looked at Lin Yan, he didn't show any doubt.
Lin Yan knew that after his appearance had changed, he would no longer be recognized by Xie Si, and he couldn't help but said viciously in his heart: "Xie Si, you would never have thought that the person who wants to kill you is right under your nose. "
Soon, everyone walked towards Tiandi City.
After arriving at the Lin family mansion, Xie Si immediately asked his personal attendant, Ban Baidongdong, to be his supervisor, responsible for allocating the work of twenty-one people.
At this time, Lin Yan and others were only in the compound where Lin Xiuping lived, and did not see Lin Xiuping.
In this compound, the servants who were supposed to be busy have been taken to the mansion of the new patriarch Lin Xianping, so there is no one in the compound at the moment.
Lin Yan was quite familiar with this place, because after all, this was his childhood home, and the absence of Lin Xiuping made Lin Yan understand the dangers lurking in this familiar compound.
Xie Si's words were at least not bluffing.
Now even the servants have been replaced. Although Lin Xiuping is still the nominal master here, both power and connections have been taken away by Xie Si. As long as the person behind Xie Si is willing, Lin Xiuping will be killed immediately. .
"Father, wait for me, I will definitely rescue you, and I will make the person who framed you and tortured you for thirteen years pay the price of death!"
