Chapter 205 Song Jin Makes a Plan

In front of the Liu family’s gate.

The red lacquered gate opened slightly, and the stone lions on both sides were majestic and solemn. The wide bluestone road in front of the gate was polished by time and was as smooth as a mirror.

On the gatehouse, there is a plaque with the words "Liu Zhai" written in official script with vigorous strokes.

On both sides of the gate, there is a tall locust tree with lush branches and leaves.

The breeze blew and the leaves rustled.

Just at this moment, the wheels rolled over the bluestone slabs, making a dull sound.

Several carriages stopped in front of the gate.

The coachman was wearing uniform green clothes and had a respectful attitude. The head of the Liu family was the first to come out of the carriage.

Just as he was about to step towards the door.

"Master Liu!"

Someone called out in the distance, "Please wait a moment."

Following the sound, I saw it not far away.

The little beggar, who was about six or seven years old, who was originally sitting there, suddenly stood up and called him loudly, and seemed to be about to walk towards him, but was stopped by the servant.

The little beggar shouted again: "Master Liu, I have a letter here. Someone asked me to pass it to you."

"Go and get the letter."

Patriarch Liu said to his confidant, "Ask him again who asked him to deliver the letter."

The butler beside him nodded and said yes, then hurried over to communicate with the little beggar.

The head of the Liu family naturally would not stay outside the gate and wait.

Instead, he took the lead and stepped into the door.

The Liu family mansion has a deep courtyard.

The red walls and green tiles, pavilions and towers are arranged in an orderly manner, exuding a sense of wealth.

Occasionally servants would come and go, and everything was in order.

Not long after they left, the butler caught up and handed the little beggar's letter to the head of the Liu family.

Patriarch Liu tore the letter open and read it. He was immediately furious, but he suppressed his anger and asked, "Did you find out who sent this letter?"

"The little beggar said he didn't know, but said it was given to him by a man dressed very elegantly. The other party gave him ten taels of silver as a fee for running errands."

The butler's question was equivalent to not asking anything.

Without knowing his name and appearance, there is no way to find out.

The head of the Liu family immediately asked his confidant to investigate, "Go and check whether the second branch is planning to take over Songjiazhuang?"

"There is no need to investigate this matter. I received the news the day before yesterday and wanted to mention it to you, but the eldest young master said that there is no need to trouble you with such a small matter. Please forgive me, sir." The butler ran down in panic to apologize.

The head of the Liu family sneered, "What a bunch of idiots. I, Liu Mian, have been smart all my life, but I gave birth to a stupid son."

It causes him trouble every day.

Do you think it's easy for him to build a good reputation?

The head of the Liu family immediately ordered people to solve the stupid thing done by the second branch, quickly deal with the manager, put all the blame on him, and then send an apology to Songjiazhuang.

"Yes, Patriarch."

The butler stood up, bowed his head respectfully and humbly, and said, "I will do it right away."

Everyone retreated.

The butler went to the second room.

It didn't take long for the matter to be done, and it was done quickly and efficiently. The news quickly reached the various masters.

Liu Ji was called over by the head of the Liu family and given a good scolding. He was also confined at home to study, which made him in a bad mood the whole day. The favored maids in the courtyard did their best to make him happy.

Even the servant told Liu Ji a gossip joke and received a reward from Liu Ji.

Only Liu Er was extremely depressed.

Because of the brothel incident, he was ignored by Liu Ji recently. He was thinking of ways to make amends, so he didn't go out for a few days.

"Brother Liu, are you unhappy?"

A little maid asked with concern.

Liu Er curled his lips, "How can anyone be happy on this damn day?"

The little maid rolled her eyes and looked around. Seeing that no one was paying attention to them, she suggested in a low voice:

"Would you like to learn from Gao Yun and go out and collect some gossip to tell the eldest young master? As long as the eldest young master is happy, the matter will be over."

Liu Er thought about it and thought it was possible. He immediately looked at the little maid with appreciation and said, "When I regain the trust of the young master, I will not lose out on your benefits."

"Then I would like to thank Brother Liu Er first."

The little maid spoke cleverly, Liu Er responded perfunctorily, and left the house in a hurry.

Liu Er just went out from the back door of Liu's house.

Just turned into the alley.

Suddenly, a drunken young man bumped into him and said, "Hey, it's you. It took me a long time to find you. Someone asked me to deliver something to you and also to pass on a message."

Liu Er was about to get angry.

Soon he found a purse stuffed in his hand, which was heavy with money, at least more than ten taels.

"What?" Liu Er quickly changed his expression and asked with a smile.

The person who hit him was Qin Ba.

People have pretended.

Qin Ba deliberately said in a rough and impatient voice: "Gan Jiabao asked me to tell you to go find him when you have time. He said that there is something good waiting for you."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Did Gan Jiabao really ask you to come find me?" Liu Er looked at Qin Ba suspiciously, "Why haven't I seen you before?"

"It's rare for me to get ashore, so I want to play a few games! You bother me with such a small matter, and delay me from winning money." Qin Ba turned around and ignored Liu Er, cursing as he walked away, "Anyway, I've brought my message, whether you want to go or not is up to you!"

Liu Er didn't even have the chance to ask more questions.

In a loft opposite.

There were several people standing at a window.

It was Song Jin and others.

From here you can take in the situation at the alley entrance.

Liu Er tossed the purse in his hand, then went to the corner stealthily to pour out the silver and count it.

In addition to the silver, there was also a small note.

Old Huo was surprised and said, "You even wrote a note? I remember when we made the plan, we didn't mention writing one."

"I asked Qin Ba to add it later."

Song Jin explained a few words, "People like Liu Er are greedy, but also cautious. We must first make him feel that there is not much risk. The note clearly states that it is just using the name of the Liu family, there is no risk, and as long as the matter is successful, the profit will be split 50-50, and he is promised to be given at least 10,000 taels."

really.

Several people noticed that Liu Er looked very excited after reading the note.

Waited for a long time.

Liu Er was spinning in place, rubbing his eyes from time to time. He opened the note again, and even his face looked a bit ferocious and hateful.

Old Huo was very interested and asked, "Will he really be fooled?"

"I'm sure."

This was not what Song Jin said.

But it was Song Xiaocheng, who had a simple and honest face and always listened to his brother.

Lao Huo jokingly asked, "Why?"

"With money, ghosts are willing to serve others!"

Song Xiaocheng had a simple and honest face, but his eyes sparkled with shrewdness. "If it were me, I would use the money to redeem myself, become a landlord, and buy a few beautiful maids. My life would be so wonderful."

"A few are too few. We need at least thirty. Changing one every day, taking turns to serve you, that's the life a god would live." Old Huo added.

Song Xiaocheng nodded repeatedly.

That little expression showed that he very much agreed.

Suddenly, snap!

Someone slapped me on the back of my head.

Song Xiaodong asked in a low voice: "Are you awake from your dream?"

"Wake up, wake up!"

Song Xiaocheng shrank his neck.

At this moment, Liu Er moved! He hurried to the market and rented a carriage to leave the city.

Song Jin had already made arrangements and hurriedly rode his horse to catch up.

Far behind.

"This direction is Jianjiang!" Song Xiaodong exclaimed.
