Gu Jingyun waited for them to get excited before he said calmly: "It's rumored that all returning staff, no matter how high or low, will be treated at a lower level than yours, and each family will have a place for admission from Liangliang, but the admissions meeting will be from the academy in Beijing. Downgrade it to a local academy. If you want to, you will come to me in three days, and after these three days, no matter who comes, I don't have to."

   "Yes." Qin Bin and Mo Wang kowtowed.

   Gu Jingyun calmed down and said: "You have always lived in Qinjia Village? Come and tell me about the Qin family over the years, and how much do you know about the industries you managed before?"

It means that the family's property has not been divided for the past five generations, and I don't know if it is because of the short lifespan. Every previous generation was married into the dowry of Qin's mistress, and when it was passed on to Qin Xinfang, this property could already be compared with the property of the entire family of the first family.

   It should be known that the family is divided into many branches. Some families are divided from generation to generation because of their prosperous descendants. In fact, life is not as easy as imagined.

   Qin Xinfang's property was seized not only in Runing, Kaifeng generation, but also in Jiangnan, Guangdong and Guangxi and other places. Nearly half of it was redeemed by Qin's public property, and the other half was leased out by the imperial court.

   There are so many industries that were copied back then, and now people are scattered and separated. Gu Jingyun now spends time and effort in sorting out these industries, and there are not many people who use it.

   And he is a fourth-rank official of the imperial court, so it is impossible to deal with these common affairs in Runing all the time. The quickest and most suitable way is to hand it over to the family, and the family will send someone to manage it, and then slowly replace the original manager.

   But with so many properties, I’m afraid they can’t get it right in ten or eight years, so although they returned the land and house deeds, they still felt that they could win a management position.

   Of course, with Qin Xinfang here, they wouldn't dare to treat the field shop as their own, but it's still okay to get some benefits within the tolerance of the descendants.

  Although they are a prominent family, their life is not easy. Qin Xinfang's finger leaks are enough for them to chew.

Therefore, they did not want Gu Jingyun to see the former servants of the direct branch and the clan relatives who worked in the direct branch. In other places, the Qin clan's words might not be very useful, but in Runing, there are Qin clan chiefs and clan elders speaking, Who dares to let these people meet Gu Jingyun?

   Moreover, they blocked the road so that Gu Jingyun and Li Baolu could not see any abnormality.

  Who would suspect that the old woman basking in the sun on the stones on the side of the road is the one guarding the road? Who would have thought that those children running around the streets with candied gourds are the eyes and ears of adults?

  The people of Qinjia Village were divided into three factions. One faction, headed by Mo Wang and Qin Bin, wanted to see Gu Jingyun's loyalty and wanted to return to the Qin family.

One faction is chasing and blocking, never letting these people advance, and the third faction is not concerned with themselves, they are neither the old people of the direct branch, and the inheritance of the direct branch has never been assigned to them, but they are Just watch the fun.

   Most of the people from the first faction lived at the bottom of Qinjia Village, were born as servants of the world, or were family members whose family was so poor that they had to seek a living under the direct support.

   The conditions of the second faction are not sure better, generally they are the people in the first six houses, and most of the inheritance of the direct branch is distributed to them.

But if you are not poor, you can't fight against them. There are poor people. The most important thing is that they infiltrate every corner of Qinjia Village. As long as they want, every household in the first six houses can find someone who is related to them, even if they are originally It doesn't matter, as long as you give enough money, it will also matter.

   What they did was not a matter of betraying the clan. Even if the clan chief found out, and he lost his job, would he dare to beat someone and kill him?

   Everyone is from the same family!

Qin Bin is very righteous, but Mo Wang is going to be much more dangerous. He was originally a servant of the world. After being released by Qin Xinfang, he stayed in Qinjia Village and lived on a few acres of fertile land and the settling allowance distributed by Qin Xinfang. The patriarch of the Qin clan has no confidence at all.

Therefore, after Gu Jingyun and the two discussed the action plan for the next five days, he asked Qin Bin to step down, but he left behind Mo Wang, and said lightly: "You will stay here tonight, and I will meet the patriarch and his wife tomorrow with me. Go to the city and see if anyone goes to the inn to defect."

When he entered Runing, he asked Zhao Ning to speak. He, Gu Jingyun, came back on behalf of Qin Xinfang, and would look for old friends, relatives, friends and old servants who came to Qinjia Village. Those who can come to Qinjia Village will come to Qinjia Village. Most of them will go to the inn to find someone.

   And Zhao Ning didn't know anything about the Qin family, and he didn't plan to drag this apprentice into the water, it would be better to let Baolu go back to deal with it.

Baolu has no opinion on this, "Yuan Shanting and Su Anjian have no news, I guess they must still be living in the inn and want to trick me. Since they are so persevering and unwilling to leave, then we can't keep people hanging around. , they saved our lives anyway."

   "So are you going to betray Master?"

   "I have already written and asked Master. I think that at the speed of a pigeon, there are only two possibilities for it to not come back. One is that it was eaten as prey on the road, and the other is that it was eaten by Master."

   "Well, the second possibility is more likely."

   "So in order to get revenge on Master, I decided to betray him."

   Gu Jingyun glanced at her lightly and asked, "What address do you want to tell them?"

   Definitely can't be the capital, because there are uncles, aunts, mothers and Niuniu, they are powerless, what if they are found by Jianghu people and accidentally injured?

"What do you think of the middle of Shu?" Li Baolu said seriously: "That is the base of our Lingtianmen. People in Jianghu only know that Lingtianmen is in the middle of Shu, but they don't know where it is. What do you think I gave the address of Shimen? To Yuan Shanting and Su Anjian, is this sincerity enough to repay their life-saving grace?"

   Gu Jingyun was embarrassed, "Aren't you afraid that your ancestors would run out of the ground and beat you?"

"No," Li Baolu said confidently, "Master said that none of the ancestors died in Lingtianmen and were buried in Lingtianmen. It was said to be the base of Lingtianmen, but in fact there was only one house and a pile of tablets. With this life-saving grace, my ancestors will definitely have to praise me for doing a good job in this business."

   "Aren't you afraid that Master will really be in Shu?"

  Li Baolu waved his hand indifferently, "Master, the old man ignores me, how can I play in the city, how can I go to a place where birds don't poop?"

Bai Yitang, who had just heard about his disciple in Kaifeng Mansion, sneezed, he frowned, and said to himself, "It must be that dead girl who misses me, so you still have a conscience, wait two more days, Master. You can go to Runing, and then I can take you to meet the ancestors of our Lingtianmen..."

   He caught sight of the two of them lifting the box from the car with rough hands and feet, and immediately raised his eyebrows and shouted, "Take it, take it easy, how many times have I told you, there are treasures here!"

The two guards who were sent to protect and do chores rolled their eyes together, "Bai Daxia, here is a book, put it in a box, not to mention that we carry it smoothly, even if we slam it on the ground, it won't work. It can't be broken."

   "Then it's also a treasure. Do you know how many people remember the things here? Everyone in Jianghu wants to grab it!"

   That's because they don't know!

   The two guards murmured, but the movements in their hands were much lighter, and they moved the box to the inn.

Standing on the steps of the inn, Bai Yitang gave a smug slap, his hands empty, and then he remembered that his beard had been shaved as early as the second year of his apprenticeship. He squeezed his chin in disappointment, The little beggar in the alley waved.

   The little beggar's eyes lit up, ran over with a broken bowl, bent down and bowed: "My lord, what are your orders?"

   "I heard that there is a Zheng family fort in your Kaifeng mansion, and Mr. Zheng in it will hold a ten-day flowing water banquet for his birthday?"

   "Is the noble man here to attend the birthday banquet? Then you are late, and the birthday banquet is over early."

Bai Yitang threw a piece of silver to him, and patted a guard passing by without hesitation on the shoulder. It slammed down on the ground.

  Bai Yitang lifted up his robe and sat down without paying any attention. He also put his left foot on his right leg and said to the little beggar with a smile, "Did you go and eat the ten-day running water feast?"

   The little beggar pinched the piece of silver and bit it, then nodded happily: "Eat it, the poor people in the entire Kaifeng Mansion went to eat it."

He touched his stomach and smiled contentedly: "It was the best ten days I had eaten in the past few years. From noon, the two long tables were constantly served with white steamed buns and cabbage stew. My brothers and I continued to serve them. They all eat their stomachs round."

The little beggar is the most observant, and seeing Bai Yitang is happy, he knows that he likes to listen to this, and he said more diligently: "There are eight townships nearby, everyone who can come here will bring a bowl with a family and a mouth, you don't know that It was so lively in Zhengjiabao for ten days. It is said that the pigs in the 50-mile radius of Kaifeng Prefecture were all wrapped up. In the end, it was not enough. Fortunately, some businessmen were clever and went to other county prefectures to collect the pigs. The birthday banquet ended successfully."

  Bai Yitang patted his legs happily, "Isn't Zheng Jiabao a loss?"

   "No, although the Zheng family has regulations, you can only eat it and not take it away, but there are only a few guards, and there are so many people who can't see it, everyone is trying to hide it."

The little beggar smiled shyly, "We little beggars can't hide anything in their thin clothes, so we hide in the crotch, put a few cloth bags in the trouser legs, hide the big white steamed buns in it when people are not paying attention, and put it on when we leave. Tsukuru is so full and gluttonous that those housekeepers can't even notice."

  Bai was stunned for a moment, then laughed out loud, patted his thigh and said, "Yes, yes, there is a future. Have you finished eating your big white steamed buns?"

The little beggar lowered his voice and said, "No, we're on ice, it's not easy to break in such a day, at least enough for us to eat for a month. We are young, so we take less, and some people take more. So Master Zheng suffered a terrible loss this time around, and I heard that he vomited blood and fell into a coma."

   Bai Yitang was happier, knowing that the enemy was not doing well, he felt at ease.
