Back at the house, Zhuyuezhu prepared meals early in the morning, seeing him bring Li Ruen in, she was a little surprised: "Master, who is this?"

"Prime Minister Li, I don't know if you still have any impressions." Jing Chen said, "Go get some hot water and find some clean clothes. From now on, Prime Minister Li will be our housekeeper in our house. Don't reveal anything about him. go out."

"Yes." Zhuyue Zhuqing said softly, "Steward Li, follow me." Since the young master said he was the butler, no matter in private or in public, he had to be called the butler.

They also knew about Li Ruyan back then. Although they didn't know what the young master said to her, they would not give him any trouble because Li Ruyan didn't trouble the young master when he was making trouble in the harem. The "housekeeper" looked at him.

Li Ru'en nodded, he knew that from today onwards, he could only be the butler of the Jing family, and before rescuing his son, he had to forget his past behavior of a wealthy family and become an ordinary servant.

"Zhuqing, ask the doctor to show the housekeeper's legs." Jing Chen added.

Zhuqing nodded.

It's not too long and not too short to be reduced to that place. It's enough for some people to die, and it's enough for many people to lose themselves and really regard themselves as slaves.

But for Li Ruen, he has the motivation to live, no matter how slim the hope is, at least he survived.

that's enough.

It was enough for Jingchen to give him hope.

Not long after, the shopkeeper sent over the person Jing Chen bought.

Zhuqing was busy with housekeeper Li's affairs, Jingchen called Zhuyue to help, besides what Jingchen went out to buy, Zhuyue Zhuqing also recruited a few servants before, just in time to let Jingchen take a look after tidying up.

Jingchen waited for a while, and Zhuyue packed up the people and brought them to Jingchen. Jingchen looked at these people and nodded. At least the shopkeeper really helped him choose people, except for the ones he bought himself. Yue Zhuqing is also a good person, as long as Zhuyue Zhuqing is around these things, he can rest assured.

However, these people have stayed in those places for a long time, and their tempers have probably been polished. It is guaranteed that they will not cause trouble, and I don't know if they are sincere or not.

Jingchen pointed to two people and asked Zhuyue to take all the others down.

Those two people were the former shopkeepers who worried that their tempers hadn't been sharpened yet. If they were really bought by Jing Chen, they might cause trouble. After getting Jing Chen's promise, they sold them to Jing Chen at a "discount".

"How does it feel to be bought and sold as an item?" Jing Chen leaned on the chair and asked whether he was sitting or not.

The two didn't speak, but Jing Chen could see the unwillingness in their expressions.

"I don't care what the reason is for you to fall to that place, and I don't care about your life experience, I just want to ask, are you willing?" Jing Chen asked.

"What do you want from us?" The man didn't seem so easy to fool, Jing Chen asked back immediately after finishing his words.

"I can help you, but it requires some effort from you," Jing Chen said.

"Now that we are in your hands, are you still worried that you won't be able to manipulate us?" Among the two, the taller one always spoke.

"What I want is for you to do it willingly, not for me to whip you severely with a whip before you are willing to move. If I really use a whip, what do you think is any different from animals?"

"What do you want us to do?" The other party's voice was hoarse, and he looked at Jing Chen with vigilance in his eyes.

"I can help you recover your martial arts. I don't restrict you with drugs, and I don't restrict your freedom. I want your sincerity." Jing Chen said, the two of them were chained, and even walked with a limp. , Even if they are sold to the slave market by peddlers, they will not lock other people's lute bones. You know, if the lute bones are locked, no matter how good the internal force is, they will not be able to exert their internal strength.

"I don't care how far away you want to take revenge, as long as you come back after taking revenge, what do you think of this deal?" Jing Chen asked.

"If you let us go, we can leave here and never come back." But it was obvious that the other party didn't believe that Jing Chen would be so stupid.

"However, only with me, you will not be despised when you are together. Everyone here will not interfere with your behavior. It has nothing to do with us who you want to share with. All I want is sincerity. .”

"Did you see it?" The other party swallowed, and it was difficult to speak.

"This road is not easy to walk, but you have been walking for so long, it's a pity that you used the wrong method, and both of you were calculated." Jing Chen shrugged, "I don't care what you want to do, I just ask you to help me. It would be nice to be sincere when doing things, of course, if one day you unfortunately die, I will bury you together to avoid the bad luck of letting others throw you into a mass grave, what do you think of this promise?"

The two knelt down almost at the same time.

"Get up." Jing Chen used his internal force to lift them up, "Follow me, don't just kneel at every turn in the future, I don't like this rule, and one more thing, I need you to remember, no matter who harms you, no matter who Whoever made you fall to that place, don’t be impulsive until you don’t have enough strength and confidence to take revenge, even now I have no ability to help you set off a storm.”

The two nodded.

"Your names?"

"Ask the master to give you a name."

In this way, it seems that he has abandoned his previous name?

Jing Chen thought for a while, and said: "The two women you saw just now are my capable subordinates, so I will ask you to have the same surname as them, with 'Zhu' as your surname, and your original name. What do you think of the last word of the name?"

"See the master for the bamboo shadow."

"Zhu Lan sees the master." They quickly realized what Jing Chen meant, and immediately changed their words.

"I'm the third eldest in the family, just call me the third young master or the young master. I'll ask Zhuyue Zhuqing to examine you later. After you recover from your injuries, you will stay here temporarily. The safety of this house will be entrusted to you, the house." The housekeeper is mine, and there will be another person coming back later, he is not good at getting along with people, so you don't need to pay attention to him, if there is anything unusual about the other servants, you can handle it yourself."

"Why did the young master help us?" Zhu Ying asked softly.

"Young master is in a good mood." Jing Chen snorted, "Go down if you have nothing to do."

The other party left as promised, Jing Chen looked at their backs, and the corner of his mouth involuntarily curled into a smile.

He actually envied them very much. Even if they were reduced to that kind of place, they still supported each other. Jing Chen just promised to let them be buried in the same cave after their death in exchange for their loyalty. Separation, no peace, if you can't be together after death, your soul will not be at peace.

More than anything else, how lucky were the two of them.

This relationship, as long as we can support each other, can go on tenaciously.

He just promised to give them a stable environment, a place where they would not be ridiculed, and a promise to be buried together after death.

For him, it's easy to do, but for them, I'm afraid they can't ask for it.

Just like him and Ren Zexuan back then.

No, using him and Ren Zexuan to compare these two people is an insult to their relationship.

His ten years, in retrospect so far, are simply a joke.

Jing Chen sat all afternoon, and he was thinking wildly all afternoon, thinking about the past and the future.

Until Bai Mu came back.

"Are you back?" Jing Chen opened his closed glasses a crack.

"En." The other party's answer was still so concise, "Four."

"Found four?" Jing Chen raised his eyebrows, "It's beyond my expectation."

"One has a good foundation, and the other two are capable of martial arts."

"Since that's the case, I'll leave the training to you. Those with good bones will practice first, and those who know martial arts will be raised. After a few days, our open store will open, and we will have to get busy." The shop concealed the business behind the scenes. If he wanted to take root in this place, he had to let his influence spread.

The second elder brother wrote to say that he transferred several people to him. He originally wanted to refuse, but after thinking about it, he didn't have much time. Sometimes they have to train their minds, which takes too long for Jing Chen.

Now if you want to develop a secret business, it is not a good way to let Bai Mu train the secret guards. For the present, the only way is to poach corners.

The people sent by the second brother solved the urgent need, but these were far from enough.

He needs more people to spread the power behind him, at least, when he returns to Moyuan, he will make Ren Zexuan unable to do anything to him anymore.

"The people sent by my second brother will arrive soon. I bought another house, and you will arrange the people there, and you will decorate that place in the next few days. Before that, you will train all the people. Going to training, in a month's time, I want at least half of the people to be effective."

"En." Bai Mu nodded.

"I bought a few people today. Except for a housekeeper and two martial arts masters, the rest are good. Don't let others connect with them. People who come out from there will not cause trouble, but I can't guarantee sincerity. If there is anything Letters come, don't go through their hands."

Bai Mu nodded.

At this moment, a servant who had arranged to see the door before came in: "Master, there is a visitor, and he said to return the warm jade to the master."

"Nuanyu?"

"Yes."

Jing Chen was stunned for a moment before he realized: "Please come in."
