Su Che made it clear to Shi Chibao that the purpose of replacing Lu Bai and Zhu Yi as officials of hundreds of households in Tiqi was to cultivate his own power within Tiqi and let them act as his minions.
Many things that are inconvenient for you to do in person can be delegated to them.
After leaving Mrs. Xue's water residence, Su Che went straight to Tiqi Yamen because he felt that with Lu Bai and Zhu Yi there, he could sort out the whole story of this incident.
Unexpectedly, when I saw a bunch of hundreds of households doing business in Tiqi Yamen this time, I saw neither Lu Bai nor Zhu Yi.
To be honest, Suche was a little unhappy at the time.
Now that I saw Lu Bai in the house, I had nothing to say for a while.
Su Che dismissed Ti Qi who was accompanying him, and patiently took a quick look at the mansion under the guidance of Lu Bai and Su Fu.
According to Lu Bai, this mansion was left by a certain Jiuqing in the previous dynasty. Later, the family declined and the house became empty. Su Fu and the others spent a sum of money to buy it and renovated it.
He also spent money to buy a few servants, hired a chef, and spent some money to make it look like this.
Suche took a look at it. To be fair, the house was nice, but his mind was not on it right now.
After walking around in a circle, Su Che directly asked Lu Bai to take him to the study.
"Lao Lu, have you been doing this lately?"
Su Che looked at the furnishings in the study, and suddenly felt a sense of alienation in his heart.
Wenge wood bookshelves, gilded incense burners, paintings of beautiful women on the walls, the faint smell of agarwood in the air...
I don’t know why this kind of worldly wealth suddenly seems to have no meaning at all.
"Thank you for your hard work, Lao Lu."
"Working for the Young Master, there is nothing hard or hard. The Young Master's cultivation seems to be..."
Lu Bai took a look and lowered his head gently.
He could feel that Suche was a little unhappy, but he didn't know where the source of the unhappiness came from. Lao Lu is also a Tiqi who has been practicing hard for many years. He can feel the changes in Su Che's aura, and Mr. Su has made further progress during this trip.
"By chance, Cardinal Dingding has stepped into the fifth level."
Lu Bai was not very surprised and just said, "As expected of a young master."
"Where's Zhu Yi?"
"Lao Zhu is out on business. There are reports in the local area, and there are rumors everywhere, saying that the sky will destroy the remaining beams, and there are demons who help the refugees and use talisman water to cure diseases."
Someone is plotting rebellion?
Creating rumors and inciting people are all small scenes.
Suche shook his head slowly.
"Tell him to come back."
The Prince of Wuling County asked the White Dragon Fish Suit to watch the fight between Madam Xue and Lord Qingjiao, and he accompanied him on the trip. In fact, many people knew about this matter.
It's hard to tell from the Langya Wang family's side. On my side, Yin Yang Dharma King, Zhu Yi and Lu Bai all knew about it.
If it were really investigated from above, these people would be the breakthrough.
Lu Bai and Zhu Yi were both considered their own people, but once they faced heavy pressure from the court, how long could they be their own people?
"Okay, I'll have someone send him a message..."
"Go there in person and come back quickly with him. Don't investigate the matter of rebellion any more."
Suche tapped his fingers lightly on the desk.
Suche had met Lao Niu before and heard him say that Sikong Tu, who had escaped from the Yin and Yang Realm, was recruiting people to do something big.
Sikong Tu is one of the six ghost commanders under the Yin Yang Dharma King. He is a serious fifth-grade master of returning elixirs. Although he is a ghost cultivator with a slightly shallow foundation, he must not be underestimated.
If he conspired to rebel, it would be difficult to suppress it just because of the power that Liang had in Cizhou.
What's more, there may be some other power behind him to support him.
As for Lu Bai, Su Che gradually felt a hint of his hidden meaning.
"I've given you a hundred households, is Stephen starting to guard against you?"
Lu Bai smiled bitterly.
"It can't be said to be defensive, but it's just a bit unpleasant to work. Several hundred households in the office were single-handedly promoted by Shi Qianhu, and they were very polite to us. It's just that Lao Zhu and I were given some mundane tasks. Although we can make some money, we still don’t like doing it..."
Suche glanced at Lu Bai.
This is the advantage of Lao Lu. He is an honest person. He will take care of things by himself and will never cause any trouble to you.
With him around, Shi Chibao and the hundreds of households he promoted will naturally not make Lu Bai and Zhu Yi look too bad, but what about those under his command who originally expected to be promoted to hundreds of households?
They were waiting and hoping to become a hundred households, but Lu Bai and Zhu Yi put an end to their thoughts as soon as they arrived.
Those who are younger than Lu Bai and Zhu Yi are better, but it is almost obvious at a glance what will happen to those who are older than them. It's nothing more than a positive attitude and a negative attitude. If the people below have emotions, they will naturally be transmitted upwards. The other households will definitely be polite, but it is impossible to be of one heart and one mind and integrate into one body.
Suche was not prepared to pursue this kind of matter, and could not pursue it.
Things are like this. Since Lu Bai and Zhu Yi have been mentioned by themselves, they must be prepared to deal with the cold looks of others.
"How is your family?"
Lu Bai felt a little warm in his heart when Su Che asked this question.
"Thanks to the young master, everything is fine at home."
"I don't think so," Suche shook his head: "Lao Lu, you work here every day and you don't get much money. If I were your sister-in-law, I would definitely pull your ears out."
Lu Bai felt warm in his heart after listening to Su Che's words. This third young master had never regarded him as an outsider.
"Women don't have much knowledge."
"Okay, if I can manage this family for you, support your parents, and have children, don't criticize others for their knowledge." Su Che paused for a moment and then said: "Let's do this, wait until you call Zhu Yi back, Later, hold a banquet at my place and invite the two sisters-in-law and the children of your two families. I want to thank them all."
"This, this is impossible, they are all ignorant common people, see them..."
"Lao Lu, you should know that what Su likes most in his life is the common people."
Suche shook his head and said, "That's it. You go back and rest first. I'll go find Su Fu and Weiyuan. Humph, I won't hide it from you. I always feel that something is wrong here."
At first, he took out food and asked Su Fu and others to help the people and collect some farmland. But looking at this mansion, Su Che always felt that these people might have misunderstood him.
Su Che wanted to continue chatting with Lu Bai about other things, when he suddenly felt a cold aura rising from outside.
Since Cardinal Ding Ding, Su Che's spiritual sense has become more and more acute, and he seems to have a feeling.
The area that a master of Huandan level can affect by using his magic power can be said to be quite wide. Once it is used, it will definitely affect the vitality between heaven and earth.
It's like someone throwing a big stone into the water, and you can see the ripples even from a distance.
The person who came should be a fifth-level cultivation person, but it felt so familiar that I couldn’t remember who it was for the moment.
But the undisguised hostility in the aura was unmistakable.
Suche looked solemn.
"Master?"
Seeing Su Che's solemn expression, Lu Bai swallowed subconsciously.
Suche ordered: "Take Su Fu and the others to find a secluded place to take shelter. There is an enemy outside."
Lu Bai immediately went to find Su Fu and others. With Su Che's current level of cultivation, the person who could be considered his opponent must be a master of Dan Huan.
If two masters of Huandan were to compete with each other, I'm afraid there would be no place in Cizhou City that could be called "secluded".
Suche walked quietly to wait for the carriage, and when he reached the door, he saw an old friend.
Mrs. Xue was wearing a snow-white skirt, with a plump red gauze covering her chest vaguely visible. She had almond-shaped eyes and peach cheeks. She was standing in the street at the door, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Madam." Suche looked at Madam Xue: "What are you doing here?"
