When the singers and dancers went to change into conservative clothes, Young Master Liu was not idle either.
He stopped a maid to inform Liu Song to get the household registration of the singers, which was just a different kind of selling contract, just an official title.
The tradition of setting up a fig leaf for the sake of appearance has never changed.
"Master, the household registration is here, and the banknotes are also here!"
Liu Mingzhi glanced at the pine box in Liu Song's arms: "Are all the household registrations here?"
“All the singers and dancers are in here!”
"That's good. It's useless to let them stay at home. It's better to let them find a good family and marry each other. Now that they are of age, it's the best time to get married, so I, the young master, can accumulate some virtue for himself."
Liu Song looked at the singers and dancers who had come out in twos and threes and nodded regretfully: "It's a pity that they are all gone. Most of them are pretty young beauties. That is to say, young master, you have a kind heart. If it were someone else, you wouldn't know that you have already left." How many times have you been yelled at?"
"The so-called singers and dancers in the homes of high-ranking officials and wealthy gentry are just playthings!"
"Sometimes I feel unfair for them, but the world has been like this since ancient times. This is a fact that no one can change!"
"Young master, a drop of clean water can't color the entire cesspool!"
Liu Mingzhi nodded thoughtfully: "Others are just like others. Master, I will just do what I can."
"By the way, haven't you taken any concubines yet? If you really can't bear it, pick a few of them to be your concubines. As long as you treat them well, it may not be a good home for them!"
"Me? Forget it, your Majesty has given this to you, young master. Even Liu Xiaosong wouldn't dare to touch it, let alone an innocent young lady!"
"Master, Xiaosong knows how much you treat Xiaosong, but a servant is a servant, and Xiaosong cannot overstep what belongs to the master no matter what."
Young Master Liu gave Liu Song a helpless look, but he was still quite satisfied in his heart. The old man chose Liu Song as his personal pupil to accompany him as he grew up. It must be said that he knew people well and made good use of them.
"It's just stupid, that's all!"
"After the household registration is returned to them, the settlement fee of thirty taels per person will be enough for them to buy a private house in their hometown and live a life without worries about food and clothing."
"I'll leave this matter to you, and I won't let you go!"
"No, Master, how can you do it if you don't go over?"
Young Master Liu looked regretfully at the more than a hundred charming girls already standing in the courtyard, his eyes a little nostalgic: "I can't bear to leave them, even if I can't touch them, it's still good after all!"
"I'm willing to grit my teeth and leave now. But when I hear their sweet calls of "grandfather", what will I do if I regret it?"
"So, leaving it to you to cut through the mess quickly is the best way."
"This young master is leaving first. If there are some homeless girls who really want to stay, you just have to make arrangements. I'll leave first!"
"Okay, Xiaosong will send you off to the young master!"
Liu Song watched Young Master Liu go away, holding the pine box and walking towards the singers and dancers in the side courtyard to handle the tasks assigned by the young master.
"Don't move. If you dare to move again, don't blame the sword in this girl's hand for not recognizing anyone!"
After leaving the side courtyard and walking on the corridor, Young Master Liu Mu Ran felt a chill on his neck, and then a crisp and melodious voice sounded from behind.
The sound was like the cry of an oriole, but because a sharp sword was placed on his neck, Young Master Liu really had no intention of feeling it.
Feeling the cold blade on his neck, Young Master Liu frowned and his thoughts began to change.
"Girl, I don't know that the girl is here seeking revenge, but for something else?"
"Although I have made enemies with many people, I have always been kind to the girl and reluctant to touch her hair!"
"The girl's voice is as melodious as that of an oriole. She must be an unrivaled beauty. If I have ever interacted with a girl like this, there is no way I won't have the slightest impression of her!"
"I dare to ask you, girl, if there is any misunderstanding here?"
Liu Mingzhi responded while scanning the surrounding rooftops.
Is this still the governor-general's palace of a powerful official? How come anyone can come in at will?
All the personal guards under Du Yu's command were soldiers with only rudimentary skills. It was understandable that they couldn't find any trace of this girl. However, the four chiefs of the relevant department, Qinglong, Baihu, Suzaku, and Xuanwu, also didn't find any trace of this girl. Liu Mingzhi was a little angry.
Especially Xuanwu Si, who is in charge of defense, has even put the sword blade on the master's neck and has not yet appeared, which is simply derelict in his duties.
If something went wrong in the relevant department, why did the secret agents from the relevant department led by Ling Yang, who was hiding deeper, not appear for so long?
"Hmm..."
The woman's coquettish laughter came: "Young Master Liu is so eloquent that he almost made me believe it! There is no misunderstanding in it, you have indeed offended me!"
Young Master Liu was startled and pondered carefully. After a while, Liu Mingzhi still couldn't remember anything. He wanted to turn around, but a scolding voice immediately came over him, and the force of the sword on his neck became stronger.
"I told you not to move around, Mr. Liu doesn't seem to have a long memory!"
Liu Mingzhi stiffened and hurriedly stopped moving while speaking and gesturing vaguely: "Girl, don't be impulsive."
"The girl just said that I have offended the girl, and I have thought about it for a while. I really don't know where I have offended the girl. I wonder if the girl can give me a hint, so that I can understand the confusion in my mind!"
Liu Mingzhi dragged the woman behind him while his eyes kept glancing around.
What puzzled Liu Mingzhi was that none of the maids who usually shuttled around appeared at this moment.
Finally, many figures wearing black clothes gathered on the roof. However, what puzzled Young Master Liu was that the spies from the relevant department had no intention of coming down to help and capture the woman behind him.
Liu Mingzhi even saw Ling Yang, who had not seen him for many days in gray robes, holding a long knife and leaning lazily on the imperial pillar.
Lost the chain at a critical moment?
No, the relevant department has never had such a big mistake since the four people from Azure Dragon and Suzaku took charge.
The missing maid, the relevant secret agent who turned a blind eye to the threat to her master, all signs indicate that the person behind her is not the enemy.
Liu Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief.
If they are not enemies, they are friends and relatives.
As a friend, any woman of this age will be the wife of her own family, so the identity of the woman behind her will be obvious.
It can only be relatives.
Apart from the stinky girl Liu Xuan, the third sister, Yun Xiaoxi is not that boring.
Liu Mingzhi thought about this and laughed happily: "You stinky girl, you dare to hold a sword against big brother. Who gave you the courage? Is your butt itchy again and you want to be beaten? Tell me what caused big brother You’re not happy anymore!”
The sword blade on his neck disappeared in a flash, and a moan came from behind.
Then a graceful and exquisite girl ran directly up from Mr. Liu's back and grabbed Mr. Liu's ear.
"snort!"
"You didn't miss Xuan'er, you just offended me!"
"Stinky girl, come down quickly. We are all grown up girls, and they are still clinging to my elder brother. Be careful that you won't get married in the future!"
"Then don't marry and let me raise you for the rest of your life. Anyway, Xuan'er is being chased like a lost dog!"
Liu Mingzhi paused and turned his head slightly to look at Liu Xuan, who was looking coquettishly at him from her back, and frowned.
"Is the leader of the martial arts alliance really you?"
