Except for me, all my enemies have been reborn.

"Hello, OP. Come in quickly. Look at what good stuff I found."

A woman ran over with a sweet laugh, put her arm around Shang Shixu's arm and started to act coquettishly.

Shang Shixu pulled his arm free with difficulty and touched the girl's hair soothingly.

"Xiao Yingzhong, tell the host quickly, what surprise did you find?"

Ying Zhong took out a token from the bag he was carrying.

"Master, this is the recruitment order of the Imperial City Division. With this recruitment order, you can easily enter the Imperial City Division."

Recruitment order? That's right, the Imperial City Department recruits people in two ways:

The first is to sign up on your own and start as a small yamen runner.

The second is the recruitment order, which is only issued to officials above the rank of Deputy Governor of the Imperial City.

When they are on a mission outside, if they see your ability, they will give you a recruitment order.

Take the recruitment order to report to the Imperial City Office, and the lowest one can be a guard.

Shang Shixu looked at Ying Zhong. She believed in Ying Zhong. After all, the child was raised by the people in the building.

In a sense, he can be considered a family child.

"Xiao Yingzhong, how did you get this token?"

"Replying to the original poster, on a sunny day, I went to eat wonton as usual, and found that I didn't bring my wallet..."

Shang Shixu held his forehead with his hand. This kid is doing this again. It's always like this.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that his head was caught in a door when he was a child. Poor silly child.

"Xiao Yingzhong, get to the point."

"Hey, wait a minute, OP, here comes the point.

There was a guy with a sour face who bumped into me. I asked him to apologize, but he glared at me.

Humph, I can only take revenge on him in my own way. Hehe, I stole his purse.

In the days that followed, every time he came, I would steal until he caught me.

He said he admired me, but I don't want his admiration. I just want your praise, hehe.

Then, he gave me this and asked me to work in the Imperial City Department."

Shang Shixu nodded. This made sense because that was also how she discovered that Xiao Yingzhong had outstanding stealing abilities.

"Okay, give our little Ying Zhong a great achievement and give him more money at the end of the month."

"Yeah! You're the best, I can buy food with the money."

What a silly child who only knows how to eat all day long. Shang Shixu accepted the girl's warm embrace.

It took a long time before the noisy child calmed down.

"Alright, stop making a fuss. I'm here today to make an important announcement. Call everyone over."

While they were calling for help, Shang Shixu looked at the house.

When she was still young, the side branches of the family tried to assassinate her many times for her property.

She couldn't remember how many days and nights she and her aunt had been hiding here.

Pray that the killer will leave, pray that I can see the sun tomorrow.

This farm holds many memories for her, many of which she has forgotten.

But she always remembers how safe she felt every night hiding here.

That kind of sense of security is something the Prime Minister's Mansion can never give you.

Now this place has been used again by her, which she didn't want to do.

But after experiencing the palace banquet, she realized that the emperor and she would never stop fighting.

It was the dog emperor who forced her to do this. Originally, the emperor and his subjects could have lived in harmony.

Why do we have to fight to the death? Do I have a secret that he cannot tell anyone?

That's it,

There are twelve people in this village, seven men and five women.

There are orphans rescued by my aunt when she traveled around the country, and there are slaves bought by Shang Shixu on the black market.

They were trained to be masters in various fields and named after the twelve musical notes, which are:

Huang Zhong, Tai Chu, Gu Xian, Rui Bin, Yize, Wu She, Dalü, Jia Zhong, Zhong Lü, Lin Zhong, Nan Lü, Ying Zhong.

They trained hard just to protect the safety of Shang Shixu.

The woman who just opened the door was named Huang Zhong, the oldest one.

He is older than Shang Shixu and is already 28 years old this year. He was brought back from the Western Regions by my aunt.

She is best at making medicine, but Shang Shixu doesn't often use poison, so she is usually responsible for handling some chores.

The girl who was hugging her arms and acting coquettishly just now was named Ying Zhong. She was the youngest girl, but she was also seventeen years old.

She is best at stealing. She once stole Shang Shixu's wallet on the black market and was caught by Huang Zhong.

He wanted to cut off her claws, but Shang Shixu admired her stealing ability and took her back.

But after a while, people had arrived one after another.

As the oldest and most capable, Huang Zhong naturally became the head of the Shang Dynasty.

"Owner, except for Lin Zhong and Nan Lu who are out on a mission, everyone is here."

After Huang Zhong counted the number of people, he carefully reported the shop's operating data.

"Owner, the shops, land, and martial arts companies in the capital have all had good harvests in the past month.

The specific amounts have all been recorded in a book, please have a look. "

There are many shops in the capital city of Shang Shixu, and she has never cared about money.

Even if she didn't run the shop, the inheritance left by her parents would be enough for her to live on for the rest of her life.

"I understand. Put it in the study. I'll look at it when I have time. Let's talk business first.

I originally trained you just for emergencies, but now it seems that

I can only activate you in advance, starting from tomorrow,

Taichu, Guxian, and Ruibin, the three of you go to the Imperial City Division as undercover agents.

Xiao Yingzhong, wait until they are all in, then go with the recruitment order.

Yize and Wushe, come with me to the black market. It’s time for some new people to join our building.

The rest of the staff remain the same as before."

After making the arrangements, Shang Shixu took Yize and Wushe away.

Return to the Prime Minister's Mansion.

Shang Shixu asked the two to hide in the study, where usually no one was.

It's dinner time. I've avoided lunch. Do I have to continue avoiding Wangshu for dinner?

When will this end? I can't just keep silent for the rest of my life.

Shang Shixu was at the door, hesitating to move forward.

"Shixu, are you there? I'm Bai Wangshu, I want to talk to you."

When Shang Shixu heard that the person coming was Bai Wangshu, he subconsciously stepped back and almost fell.

"Wangshu, what's the matter with you? I'm feeling a little unwell, so I won't be having dinner."

"Shixu, are you not going to dinner because I confessed my feelings to you before?"

Shang Shixu heard the disappointment in his voice and hurried to comfort him.

"No, I just didn't feel well, so I didn't go to dinner."

"Don't comfort me, sister. You said you would never abandon me. Why did you break your promise?"

Sister? What a shameful title. Shang Shixu respectfully declined this title.

Oh my god, I can’t care about shame now. Bai Wangshu is about to break here.

Forget it, just open the door and take a look, it won’t cost you anything.

The door was opened, and a gust of wind blew, ruffling Bai Wangshu's hair.

Black hair stuck to the tear-stained face.

His eyes were red and his whole body was swaying in the wind.
