Make a long-term worker as an old attack

After some narration, Xue Fu's old face has turned livid: "It seems that these two people have not been trying to seek power in the Xue family for a day or two. At the same time, he took advantage of the Donglin Party matter to label the young master. All these years, I have always felt that the second lady is gentle and humble, but I really didn't expect that she would have such a strategy."

"Uncle Fu, after I went to Xi'an Mansion in early spring, I also sent home letters every month, but I never received a reply. Could it be that they kept them privately?"

"It should be. In the past few months since you left, young master, the master has only received a letter from your family. It was the first month after you left. Thinking about it now, at that time, the second lady excused me The hospital is busy with affairs, and I wanted to help share some of it, so I shared the work of receiving and sending letters, which was the original intention.”

"Then dad... Did he really write back to me?"

"Eldest young master, although you and the master had... when you left, there is no overnight enmity between father and son. The master wrote to you every month, but he didn't respond. He was already anxious, thinking that something happened to you when you were out, and then Adding that the surname Tian played a role in it, he fell ill all of a sudden."

"Hey, after all, I am unfilial!" Xue Zhaoqing was almost remorseful to the extreme.

"Eldest young master, these things are over. The master only hopes for your safety, and will not really blame you for these things." Xue Fu said in relief: "Eldest young master, you have a good plan, how to face the current situation ?”

"Niu Geng and I have obtained the confession letter written by Jiang Langzhong himself, and we have also found Tian Degui's fellow countryman who can prove that he can copy other people's handwriting. Now, if we can find the letter that Tian Degui imitated my handwriting at that time, That means there are all the witnesses and material evidence. Uncle Fu, do you know if this letter has been destroyed?" Xue Zhaoqing asked.

"This..., young master, let this old slave think about it carefully." Xue Fu's face was obviously mottled under the dim light and shadow. In the past few months, he was squeezed out by the second wife and others. Serving the master's soup and medicine, he could not get close to the main hall for too long, but he clearly saw that letter somewhere...

"I remembered!" Xue Fu patted the table, and continued: "A few days ago, when I was serving the master's decoction, I occasionally heard the second lady and Tian Degui say that they should hide the letter. Uncle Jia Zhimai mentioned the name of the eldest young master, and that letter has to be brought out to town."

"Great! As long as it is not destroyed!"

"But young master, a small letter is too easy to hide. If Tian Degui carries this letter with him all day, how can he get it?"

"If my father had just fallen ill, according to Tian Degui and his aunt's temperament, he would have kept this letter close to his body for fear that someone would steal it. But at this moment, they have the courage to announce that I am dead. Seeing that the Xue family has almost completely fallen into their hands, they will no longer be on guard every day as before. Moreover, letters are easy to wear and tear, and they are worn next to the body all day long. It is easy to be dirty, so this letter is probably hidden in a secret place such as the study or bedroom." Xue Zhaoqing's analysis of each sentence is very reasonable.

"Then young master, do you want to check Tian Degui's residence?"

"I have to look for his residence, my aunt's residence, and the study. Uncle Fu, can you take me to the front hall?"

Xue Fu thought for a while, then continued: "It shouldn't be a problem to bring it to the front hall. Young master, you can disguise yourself a little bit and become a servant or a guy who comes to help at home. It's just that the old slave is afraid of going in so rashly, in case someone gets caught I found out, young master, you will suffer from flesh and blood."

"I'll go with me!" Niu Geng became anxious when he heard this, and was about to follow in a hurry.

"No, you have been working in Xue's residence all year round. Although you seldom walk around in the front yard, you are so tall, which attracts too much attention. If you follow, the possibility of being exposed will be even greater." Xue Fu Persuade.

"But only keep Qing'er... Eldest young master goes there alone, what if there is no danger?!" Niu Geng was so impatient that he almost said the wrong thing.

Xue Fu was also hesitant. Xue Zhaoqing couldn't resist, couldn't lift his hands, so he just went there rashly. If something happened, he would have no way to explain to the Xue family's ancestors.

Here, Xue Zhaoqing took a deep breath, carefully checked the resources available in his hand and the things he needed to get, and suddenly came to his mind.

"Uncle Fu, Brother Niu Geng, don't worry, I think of a way, it may be useful..." In the dim hut, Xue Zhaoqing and the two whispered in a low voice. Not to mention that this is indeed the only way for now.

Three days later, a news came out from the Xue Mansion in Sanyuan County that the city was looking for a good dog that could guard the house. If it was a good dog, no matter how much the price was, the mansion would be willing to buy it. Suddenly, the Xue Mansion was bustling with people. All of them came to apply for the recruitment with their own dogs.

There were quite a few onlookers coming and going by the side of Xue's mansion, watching the dogs, big or small, nimble or gentle, coming in and out, while discussing in low voices.

"What's wrong with the Xue family? Why do you want a dog? Do you have to be a dog who can guard the house?"

"You can't even guess this? It's haunted. His young master must be unwilling to die in a foreign land. Why don't you go back to the ancestral house to have a look?"

"Impossible, isn't the Xue family's ancestral hall still enshrining his family's ancestors, if the soul of his family's young master really came back, he wouldn't dare to do anything wrong in front of his ancestors."

"I heard that something was lost at home. I need to find a dog shelter."

"You're talking nonsense, won't you report to the police if you lose something? Why are you looking for a dog?"

"Who knows what was lost? When Master Xue got sick, Xue's family was like a mess. The second young master only spent his days and nights, and his mother was a woman, not to mention, or a partial house. After so many years, he finally became a family. , you can’t take advantage of the Xue family’s money to search for some good things. Maybe it’s in the boudoir, hehehe.”

"Look at your wretched look, it's all your imagination, I heard that Xue's family wants a dog because the second young master Xue had a conflict with someone in the brothel and allowed the young man to beat someone else, that person Threatening his life, he needs a dog to protect him because he is afraid."

"Go, go, follow where. Just talk nonsense."

The crowd of onlookers talked a lot, and all kinds of gossip were used.Xue Fu stood at the gate of Xue's mansion, not caring about the commotion outside, and only carefully selected the dogs he sent.

Finally, when he saw a big black dog, Xue Fu's tense face relaxed a little.

"What's the origin of this dog?" The visitor was dressed in brown sackcloth, with patches on his trouser legs, and his hair was messy, like withered grass that hadn't been taken care of for a long time.His face was extremely gray, like a dying person, there was a mole between his eyebrows, it was extremely black, and his whole face looked extremely ugly.

"This is a hunting dog I found in the mountains. I finally tamed it. Usually in the mountains, it can kill a wolf alive and well, and it's even easier to guard the house."

"Oh?" Xue Fu said with a slight sarcasm on his face, "Is it really as good as you said?"

"If you don't believe me, you can try it."

"Besides being ferocious, the dogs in the nursing home also have to know people. If they only know how to be ferocious and don't know people, and even bite the owner when they become crazy, then they are not even as good as a stupid dog. This dog is as ferocious as you said. It's just how good is this ability to know people? You didn't say it."

"Master, it's unnecessary to say too much, just let my dog ​​try it." The visitor seemed to know his dog's temperament very well, and he spoke very confidently.

Hearing this, Xue Fu said: "Okay, first you lead the dog and come in with me." After finishing speaking, he possessed himself to a servant and said something in a low voice, and then brought a man and a dog to the garden of Xue's mansion .

Before waiting for a while, a short, fat, middle-aged man came in cursing: "For such a small matter as choosing a dog, I still need Mr. Tian to come here in person. Are you people like rice worms?!" As he spoke, Tian Degui kicked over the servant who was obediently leading him the way.

Xue Fu knew that this guy was pointing fingers at Sang and scolding Huai, so he didn't bother with him, and respectfully bowed and said, "Uncle, there are a lot of personal clothes missing in the second lady's room today, and I have questioned all the servants in the house, but there is no result." , if you don’t choose a dog to guard the yard for the second lady, then the thief will become more courageous, and I’m afraid that next time he will lose more than just clothes.”

Tian Degui muttered a few more words, although he had long been displeased with this stubborn and cold-faced butler, but Sanqi was in his hands, so he couldn't just turn against him like this, so he had to return the gesture and said: "Daddy!" The butler is very thoughtful, and now he calls me here, is he looking for a famous dog?"

"It's the one in front of me." Xue Fu pointed into the garden, and Tian Degui looked down. The dog in front of him was all black, without a trace of stray hair. His fangs were grinding back and forth around the dog's mouth, which made people feel a little frightened.

"This dog looks very vicious. It shouldn't be a problem to take care of the house. The butler is a good choice." Tian Degui wanted to say a few words and went back to drink, but Xue Fu pulled him away with a word return.

"Uncle, wait a moment. Apart from being ferocious, a good dog has to recognize its owner. The owner of this dog told me just now that it can instantly tell which is the master and which is the servant. I don't believe it, so I invite uncle Let's take a look together."

"Oh?" Tian Degui also became interested. He only heard that dogs recognize their masters, but he didn't hear that dogs can also distinguish between master and servant. He waved and explained something to him in a low voice.

Not long after, the boy changed into a suit of clothes and came over. Xue Fu took a closer look, only to find that the boy had changed into the clothes that Xue Zhaoqing used to wear at home. Tian Degui's doing this was too obvious, and Xue Fu was serious. He was about to get angry, but he saw a look from the man leading the dog who was opposite him.

Xue Fu calmed down his anger slightly, and continued: "Uncle, this is a good idea. You and this young man are both dressed in fancy clothes, so that the dog can identify them, so that it won't be able to tell who is rich and who is rich just by looking at the clothes." Cheap."

"Hey, don't worry, butler." Tian Degui pulled Xue Fu and took a step forward together, and said to the dog-leader: "You said your dog can recognize people, so you can try it now. See if it really picks out who's rich and who's not among us."

After finishing speaking, he slightly raised his eyebrows, and gave Xue Fu a provocative look.

Xue Fu clenched his fists tightly, but his expression was calm. He nodded slightly to the man leading the dog. The man understood clearly, and then he possessed himself and untied the rope around the dog's neck.
