Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 918;

Chapter 870;

"Really, this...if the right guardian finds out about our account...wouldn't we have to toss endlessly..."

Seeing Yu Guanzhu's cautious expression, the woman in black showed a smile on her face;

"Don't worry, it won't happen this time. This time it wasn't what His Majesty meant. This time, His Majesty said it. The three guardians have been recorded and recorded, and they have also been handed down to the heads of the four sects. No one will say a word in the future."

The two eyebrows of the masked man in black raised at the same time, as if he had solved a big problem for him;
"So good."

"Go to the Lord, I have to report to my superiors about tonight's affairs, and I will see you off soon."

"Get the decree."

The man in black agreed to Hou Jishou's salute, then turned around, waited for the last two people to carry the corpse down, and then disappeared into the tunnel.

After the two people at the entrance of the tunnel sealed their mouths, they pushed an earthen bed over with great effort, covered the edge with mud, and finally covered it with dust to make it look half-old. , constantly scattered in the air.

While the two were busy, they retreated to the door, and the woman with her hands behind her back also retreated long ago.

"Ok?"

"Okay, uncle."

"You guys deal with all the traces in the yard before leaving, and come back to check again in three days."

"Get the decree."

After the woman gave the order, she took two of her men and went out over the wall. They were all as light as a swallow and walked as fast as flying.

All three of them hid in the darkness and walked along the corner of the wall, and they still followed the east wall of Chang'an City to the north.

Along the way, I could only hear people's voices, footsteps, and dogs barking incessantly inside the city walls, in Chang'an City.

"You guys will be the next family."

"only!"

"Open the door, open the door, the Nanya Forbidden Army is here..."

"Open the door!"

"Wang Wang Wang!"

"Master Bing, it's late at night..."

"Let's gossip, I'm under the order of the court to check and arrest the assassin. How many people are there in your family? What's their name? Let's talk about it in detail. We also need to check carefully. Every house in every yard and your family members Call them all!"

"Master Jun, my family is a kind people..."

"Good or bad, you have to check to find out."

"Oh good good..."

The three people walking in the field outside the city wall stopped.

"Really, is the speed of the imperial court really fast enough this time?"

The woman in black sneered twice, then shrugged her shoulders;

"Can't you hurry up? It's too involved. I guess Li Shimin will still be circling in the study. He dare not be careless about such a big matter."

"Really, this disciple thinks, it's a bit too much this time, as you said, it involves too much."

The other female Taoist also sighed;

"Hey... I don't know what the higher-ups are thinking. It's a matter of getting a woman and leaving it to Tubo. If you insist on killing you, is it worth it?"

"Who knows, no one can tell what the Supreme is thinking. Recently, the three Venerables have a good relationship, talking and laughing with each other. On Mount Zhongnan, I heard that the two old Venerables of the previous generation, from the second to the Supreme After living there for a few days, there was no more quarreling.

Now the Zongmen is considered to be a group of ups and downs, and no one will disagree with what the Supreme Says, which is very different from the situation of the previous Daozi. "

"Really, it's not that the disciples talk too much, these jobs were originally handled by Zuo Hufa, why did they fall to our middle lane to pick up the jobs this time?

It's really strange and cruel, our venerable actually agreed to it, the disciple really couldn't figure it out, but our venerable never took this kind of work? "

"You can't figure it out? I can't figure it out either. I don't want to think about it. Maybe the Supreme just wants to see if he can use the power of all parts of the sect."

The woman shook her head, and continued on her way with two of her men, bypassing Chunming Gate, Tonghua Gate, and arriving at the East Palace to the east of Demen, checking that there was no one around, the masked woman tightened her veil.

The two subordinates held hands and built a simple human ladder. The masked woman stepped up to a corner of the wall with her strength, kicked again, turned over the wall, and turned her head to make two gestures. Two people outside the city wall The men nodded and hid in the darkness.

East Palace, this was originally the place where Li Shimin lived. Since moving to Taiji Palace, this place has been left to Li Chengqian, and Li Shimin's other sons also moved away together.

But Li Chengqian doesn't live alone here, there is another man living here, that is Li Yu.

Li Chengqian moved to Li Shimin's former bedroom. Li Chengqian's former bedroom was renamed Da'an Palace and given to Li Yu for use.

Li Yu's Da'an Palace was originally Li Chengqian's residence, so it is very large, occupying one-third of the Prince's East Palace. There are four courtyards connected to the left, middle and right, with five floors in the front, middle and back.

In addition to the original dozens of maids and a group of servants in Da'an Palace, more than 200 palace people were newly adjusted last year.

Now there are more than two hundred servants alone, and more than 170 court ladies.

Not for anything else, just to serve Changsun's darling ~ Li Yu, Duke of Jianguo County.

Each of these newcomers was personally checked by the Changsun family, who had investigated the background, and checked all three generations of their ancestors, but if the ancestors had any bad stains, they were all removed.

More than 200 newcomers, more than half of them are from common people's families, and they are clean.

Why is it half?instead of all?Because the Changsun family has other considerations, most of these are here to work, so the family background of the common people is the best.

But you can't know a big character, right?

So Changsun found many family members of those officials who were confiscated two years ago from Jiaofang Division. After careful inspection and analysis, 63 women were screened out. The youngest was only 15 years old, and the oldest was in his early forties. , sent to Li Yu's side.

Among these people, all of them were family members of officials who were reported and exposed when monks and Taoists were investigated two years ago. They had wives, concubines, daughters, and maids.

This is not the future world, this is the Tang Dynasty.

After the family members of criminal ministers were captured, there were quite a few people who looked for death and life, but after they died, they were carried out like dogs, dug a hole and buried them casually. They were buried in a mountain nest behind the imperial city without even a shroud.

I don't know how to recognize the reality, is there any?There are also some who were either beaten to death with random sticks or whipped with blood all over their bodies. After being cured, they were sent to Pingkangfang, the brothel under the Secretary of Jiaofang, to pick up customers.

What?You don't want to pick up guests?
The whip serves.

Are you serving your guests badly?

The whip is at your service!

No one will even look at you even if you are killed.

Want to run away?

The brothel under the Secretary of Jiaofang was guarded by the Nanya imperial guards.

If you can't run three steps, I will give you a deep chill. This is not the most fearful thing. The most uncomfortable thing is that after you are caught, you will be tortured until only a handful of bones are left.

So in later generations, women's arrogance and unreasonableness rarely appear in this time and space.

Living on a full stomach is the greatest ideal of many women.

That's why Li Yu's Da'an Palace needs people, and the women in the Jiaofang Division are trying their best. Many women have only one wish. They are old and decrepit, and they can get their daughters over no matter what, because this will have a chance of survival. , if he is spotted by the living God of Wealth, he will have a chance to rescue his exiled son.

There are all kinds of reasons, Changsun is not worried about these women messing around, besides, people can't walk around at will in Da'an Palace, whoever does what work is assigned, just like the family members of these officials, they don't learn to wash clothes, sweep the floor, They learn to play various instruments.

This is not!

It was late at night, and Li Yu was still listening to the pipa in the main hall on the east side courtyard of Da'an Palace.

As long as Li Yu is interested in coming, all band members have to be there.

Just one song.

Li Yu nodded, and the 30-year-old woman playing the pipa to the west quickly stood up and returned the salute.

"That's right, it's made some progress, but compared with what His Majesty said, it's still a little less hot, and we need to continue to work hard."

The woman squatted down again, lowered her head and responded:
"Yes, what the Lord taught me is that slaves must practice carefully."

"Well, back off."

"Yes."

"That... the one who played the piano just now, by the way, what did you call it last time?"

As soon as the pipa player stepped back and sat down, the young girl who was dozing by the guqin on the other side was woken up by her companion.

The girl hurriedly sat upright, and a maid standing next to her stared at her, making the little girl turn pale with fright.

"Are you deaf? Are you dead?"

"Ah? The concubine is in charge, there is something to do..."

"Nonsense, my father-in-law asked what your name is?"

"Oh good good..."

The girl ran out in a panic after hearing this, and after squatting down, she lowered her head and whispered:
"If you go back to the father-in-law, the servant girl's name is Ye Nianqing."

Li Yu nodded, opened his mouth, and the Wulei Temple next to him brought over the cut yellow peaches.

"Remember?"

"Yes sir."

"Well, you must play the piano very well. It's very different from when you came here. I heard that you always play until late at night?"

"If you go back to the father-in-law, the servant girl is afraid that the father-in-law will listen to it when he comes back, but the servant girl is not proficient and will delay the father-in-law's enjoyment, so I practice day and night."

"Hmm, good boy, how old is this year?"

"Back to the lord, this servant is 22 this year."

"Over 20? Did you get married when you were outside?"

The young girl practiced hard day and night, imaginatively waiting to be spotted, but she didn't expect her wish to be fulfilled tonight, she couldn't help being a little too excited, and her body began to tremble.

"Slave... If you go back to the Lord, the slave has never been married and is clean. If the Lord doesn't believe it, you can ask someone to go out and investigate..."

Before the young girl could finish her sentence, she was interrupted by a middle-aged court lady:
"Shut up, don't talk nonsense if the father-in-law didn't ask."

Facing her immediate boss, how could a girl dare to be stubborn, she quickly turned around and saluted:
"It's the concubine who is in charge, the servants will remember."

Seeing Li Yu's face that was still in good shape, he suddenly became unhappy, Wulei pinched a piece of yellow peach:
"Your Majesty, would you like to have another bite?"

"Not in the mood to eat?"

Shaking his head, Li Yubai glanced at the concubine who was speaking and admonishing others, Wulei immediately knew why Li Yu was unhappy, and turned to look at the lord of the Shangqing Palace who was sitting on the side.

Her lord went to rest later, but there is still a Palace Mistress here. Wulei, who is the think tank of Daozi, is not an ordinary person. She has always been thinking about the teachings of her master, talking less and doing more.

Palace Master Liu of Shangqing Palace nodded lightly, gave Wu Lei a calm look, then turned to look at Ding Kezhen, the head of Da'an Palace sitting next to him, and said with a smile:
"It's right for the lady to be nervous here, but it can't be too much.

Let's see for yourself, lady, it is difficult for the father-in-law to talk to the subordinates. "

Ding Kezhen is a person who manages strictly according to Changsun's more and more methods. She is very strict, and she is afraid that she will not do well, so she rarely smiles.

Therefore, the atmosphere in Da'an Palace was almost the same as that of Changsun's side, especially after there were more people, it was not as relaxed as before, and Ding Kezhen's management became stricter.

However, no matter how strict it was, it was not to such an extent. The subordinates were all trying to please Ding Kezhen with the mentality that the stricter the better, but unexpectedly they made something bad.

Ding Kezhen was also very embarrassed, especially now that she was promised by Li Yu to take over the house, she was always cautious in every way for fear that something would go wrong before she became a regular.

Now being picked on by the concubine of the father-in-law in public, he also turned blue with anger.

Especially this female Taoist priest who couldn't tell her age looked extremely majestic. I heard that she was one of the best figures among this group of Taoist priests.

This woman really has the aura of not being angry and arrogant. Those rumors should be true. If it is said that she has never cared about things, who can believe it?
"Palace Master Liu laughed. He originally thought that there were too many people and he would be stricter. The subordinates behaved well when they arrived, but they followed a little too much. My negligence."

"My lady speaks harshly, and I don't mean anything else. It's right for my lady to restrain her bosses strictly. Hundreds of people live in one palace. If there are no rules, it will naturally fail.

But, there has to be a limit, right? Our father-in-law has a free and easy temper, and he can't stand too strict methods. The lady has done great things, so she should know better than me. It's me who talks too much. "

Palace Master Liu dealt with it casually, while pouring Li Yu half a glass of white wine:
"Would you like me to accompany you to have a cup to relieve boredom?"

"Alright."

Ding Kezhen over there is also very bored, but this Palace Master Liu has a strong identity. I heard that the Palace Masters of the left and right palaces in the Taoist family are second only to the three guardians.

The women in the backyard of Li's Second Household are very different from other Qiwang families with five surnames. One is from the Taoist school, and the other is from the Second Household.

So the two sides are basically doing their own things. Although they don't want to do it, the levels still need to be carefully divided.

Even if Ding Kezhen from Da'an Palace entered the door of Li's second bedroom, she was on the same level as Li's family in terms of status, so how could she really talk about him?

"Look at what you said, my lady. You are the concubine of the father-in-law, so whatever you say is right."

"Miss Ding is being polite."

Palace Master Liu, who put down his wine glass, smiled politely and didn't say another word.

Some depressed Ding Kezhen looked down with a cold face:
"Grandpa didn't ask, she said too much, it's a bit wrong, but what about you? Are you right to interrupt your grandfather in public?"
