The world of the Northern Song Dynasty, the backyard of the Li Mansion in Quanzhou.

Li Hao held a handful of steel needles in his hand. These steel needles were brought from the main world last time.Each steel needle is about two inches long and thinner than a human hair. Both ends of the steel needle are extremely sharp and sharp, and can easily penetrate the wooden board.

Li Hao spread out his palms, and the steel needles slowly floated into the air one by one, suspended in front of him and remained motionless.Now his force can control objects weighing less than half a catty, and the control range has expanded to about 100 meters.

Each of these steel needles is very light, so he can control as many as one hundred or dozens of steel needles at the same time.

With a light wave of Li Hao's hand, more than a hundred steel needles shot out.Under the sunlight, more than a hundred rays of light flickered slightly in midair, and the steel needle had already flown nearly 40 meters.

Stretching out a hand, the large group of steel needles made a sudden turn in mid-air, and flew back to their side.In fact, force control does not need to cooperate with hand gestures. Li Hao's waving is not necessary, it is just a subconscious movement, so that he can better concentrate on controlling the force, and "pull" more than a hundred steel needles back.

This large group of steel needles flew back one after another in mid-air, like a school of fish swimming along a fixed line in the sea.The steel needles bypassed Li Hao's body, and then went forward to shoot out. When flying halfway, the steel needle group divided left and right, divided into two paths and circled an arc to outflank.

Li Hao's mind was highly concentrated, and the steel needles in mid-air flew faster and faster, constantly trying to separate and converge, changing dazzling flight routes.

Moreover, under Li Hao's deliberate control, the steel needles collided with each other from time to time during the flight, changing directions instantly.The flying speed of the steel needle is sometimes fast and sometimes slow, and the flight trajectory is flexible and changeable. Sometimes the angle of sudden acceleration and firing is very tricky.If someone was attacked by these steel needles, they must have been pierced with holes all over their bodies.

After practicing for more than half an hour, Li Hao felt uneasy for no reason, and he was not in the mood to continue practicing.

The steel needles automatically flew back into the needle box as if they were alive, and they were neatly arranged. The lid of the needle box was automatically pushed and closed under the force of the force.Li Hao stretched out his palm, the needle box moved twice, and suddenly jumped into his hand automatically.

He kept the needle box with him, and because Li Hao's original force was still weak, he couldn't control things that were too heavy, so he temporarily chose thin blades and thin steel needles as weapons.These two self-defense "weapons" are very light, and he usually carries them with him.

After bringing these two "weapons", he no longer carries the electric shock device. After all, the electric shock device can only be used close to him, and in his field of force, the blade and steel needle are much more useful than the electric shock device.And even in close proximity, the blades and steel needles driven by the force are more powerful than the electric shock device, and taking human life is just a matter of thought.

Li Hao changed into his ancient clothes, put on his ancient wig, and went straight to the front yard.

Early this morning, the four maidservants, plum, orchid, bamboo and chrysanthemum, went to the Liang family's mansion, accompanied by several nurses and more than 20 long-term workers.Li Hao has officially bought the property of the Liang family. He just signed the contract yesterday and attached a sum of [-] yuan. The balance will be paid within two years.

Today the four servants went to the mansion, firstly to direct the servants to clean up the house so that Li Hao can move in soon; secondly, to buy a batch of servants for the Li family to order in the future.This group of servants are real prostitutes, not long-term workers in an employment relationship, but servants who really have a sense of belonging to the Li family, and they are required to be very loyal.

Li Hao was very satisfied with these four maidservants. They were all orphans. After entering Li's mansion, they really took charge of this place. They worked very hard and had certain abilities.When Li Hao was cultivating the Force, he still asked them to leave the backyard, and kept it a secret for the time being.

Ji Tong came straight to Li's mansion with a team of yamen from the Shibo Department's anti-smuggling department. He beckoned to the head of the yamen and said, "Arrange a few yamen to run over and close the gate, side door, and backyard door of Li's mansion. Guard every door, two men at each door. Remember, no one is allowed in or out without my order."

"Yes, my lord!" The head of the team immediately arranged manpower, and several yamen servants ran quickly.They are dressed in official uniforms, with waist knives on their bodies, and water and fire sticks in their hands. They have a lot of momentum when they run.Pedestrians on the road avoided the side of the road, pointing and talking to them.

Ji Tong brought twenty yamen agents out this time, not too many people, but there were not many, and usually only when there were relatively large cases did so many yamen agents gather.Ji Tong deliberately brought more people out, also to increase the momentum and prepare to give Li Hao great coercion and deterrence.

The yamen are very excited. Every time they dispatched on a large scale, when did they not get enough oil and water?What's more, the target this time is the Li Mansion, the owner of the Qizhenyibao Pavilion.The Pavilion of Rare Treasures, who in Quanzhou doesn’t know that the goods inside are priceless?Thinking that the harvest this time might be higher than ever before, the yamen servants were full of energy and energy, and walked on the street proudly.

The yamen servants came to the gate of Li's residence. How had the gatekeeper of Li's residence seen such a battle?He came out tremblingly and said: "My lord, I don't know which yamen you are from? You came to Li's residence...

Ji Tongli ignored him, waved his hand and said, "Go in!"

The yamen servants rushed in and pushed the porter aside.The porter was in a hurry, knowing that it was impossible to stop them, he rushed inside to report.

The housekeeper Ding Fu is discussing with the second shopkeeper of the photo studio about the opening of the shop. The second shopkeeper was promoted by Li Hao from the sales team leader. He is temporarily appointed as the second shopkeeper. This is also the meaning of trial. Fu became the big shopkeeper and officially took charge of the photo studio.If the trial is not satisfactory for a period of time, another big shopkeeper will be hired.

The two were discussing, when they suddenly heard hurried and dense footsteps, and at the same time heard the porter shout: "Butler Ding, these office servants have suddenly barged in!"

Startled, Ding Fu walked out of the hall to take a look, only to see a dozen vicious servants rushing in.

Ding Fu took a few steps forward and said: "I don't know which adult has arrived, but he didn't come out to greet him, it's really rude."

With a cold face, Ji Tong glanced at Ding Fu, and said with a "hum" in his nostrils: "Where's Li Hao? Tell him to come out and see me."

Ding Fu accompanied him with a smile and said: "My lord, please come into the living room for a sip of tea, and I will invite the young master to come out immediately. Brothers, you are also working hard. It is hot, drink a cup of tea to quench your thirst." Serve tea to Ji Tong.

"Adults, please have tea, and young masters, please come out." Ding Fu withdrew, and the smile on his face disappeared as soon as he left the hall, and he called a long-term worker to give some instructions, and the long-term worker nodded repeatedly.Then, Ding Fu hurried to the backyard. These officials didn't even talk about basic politeness. It was obvious that the visitors were not friendly, so the young master had to be notified immediately.

Ji Tong had already guarded the entire gate of Li's mansion, he didn't believe that Li Hao could fly away, so he picked up his teacup and drank tea without haste.As soon as he lifted the lid of the cup, he immediately smelled a scent of tea.He took a sip, his eyes lit up, and he almost blurted out his praise, but he looked at the servants standing around him, and he forcibly held back the word "good tea".

But he gulped a few sips, only to feel the fragrance of tea in his mouth, with endless aftertaste.It was the first time in Ji Tong's life that he drank such a good tea. God, what did he drink before? Compared with this tea, what he drank before could be regarded as slop.

The servants of Li's mansion immediately filled up the tea, and Ji Tong drank it up in a few sips, then filled up, then drank up, filled up again, drank up again, filled up again, drank up again...

The yamen servants can't see it, such a gurgling cow drink is not only indecent.It's also inappropriate, and this time I came to Li's house to find fault, what is the rhythm of drinking other people's tea?When the master comes out later, are you still ashamed to accuse him of smuggling, are you still ashamed to get mad?

Soon several servants of Li's mansion came out, took out more than ten teacups on wooden trays, and distributed them to the yamen's servants.When the servants shared the tea, they quietly handed over a small ingot of silver taels.The eyes of the yamen's servants are shining, this standard of small ingots of silver taels, each ingot is two taels of silver, that is taels of money.

This... a full month's rate!The owner of the Pavilion of Rare Treasures is very knowledgeable.In the future, if you see the ships of this company at sea, you can take care of them. The owner is so generous, you will never suffer a loss if you let them go, and there will definitely be generous compensation afterwards.Anyway, catching the smugglers is also the credit of the officials. They can only get a little reward, which is not enough to let them go.

Before Ding Fu reached the door of the backyard, Li Hao had already walked out.When Ding Fu saw it, he hurriedly said, "Master, it's not good."

Li Hao saw Ding Fu's anxious face covered with sweat, knowing that something had happened, he said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, speak slowly, nothing can't be solved."

Ding Fu groaned inwardly ashamed, he was quite old, and unexpectedly he was not as calm as a young man when he was in trouble, so he immediately talked about the situation just now.

"Do you know who they are?"

"The leading officials don't say anything, it seems that they are only willing to say it when they see the young master."

"Then let's meet him for a while."

"My lord, just now the old slave made his own decision, Yuezu took over on his behalf, and asked his servants to send two pieces of money to each of the yacha. The old slave wants to relax before the young master sees them."

Li Haodao: "I have already set the rules. For emergency expenses below 100 yuan, you or Xiaomei can advance payment from the accounting office first. This is a matter within the authority, and it is not a matter of superficiality. Write me a note later, and I will sign it for you. Check out. Do you think these people are here to make a little profit, or do they want to do it for real?"

"They have a bad attitude, and I'm afraid it's hard to get rid of them."

Li Hao thought about it in his mind. He could handle more than a dozen people by himself. If the other party came with 40 people, he would not go to see them. After all, if the 40 people were desperate, there might be a slight threat to him.

The other party brought weapons to the door, so Li Hao naturally had to plan for the worst, but if more than a dozen people really made a move, and he used the force to move the steel needles, he would be able to stab them all blind in a second or two. .If it was more ruthless, the steel needles would penetrate through the eye sockets, and they could be dead on the spot in an instant, and their own safety was absolutely guaranteed.
