After all, only Ji Mingyan has this thing. And these people are not worthy of this powerful version. The ordinary one is enough.
Poison Lady jumped down from the wall, and Xuezhu stood up instead.
He was like a ghost, floating into the yard like a leaf. The remaining three people stood back to back with swords raised, ready to fight to the death with the masked man in black.
The opponent took out his thick sword, moved with lightness that was difficult to see with the naked eye, and hit the three people's heads, every hit was accurate.
The three people were knocked unconscious and fell to the ground in a somewhat messy position.
Xuezhu used his thick sword to push the unconscious body, creating a pattern of three people leaning head to head with their feet pointing outwards.
One person had his legs together, which was different from the other two whose legs were slightly apart. He took the opportunity to separate that person's legs a little.
Xuezhu now remembers the young master's teachings and has learned to control her own shortcomings.
He ignored the people around him who were knocked down by the Poison Lady and floated into the house of Fang's parents.
The old people were old and had light sleep, so they woke up as soon as Xuezhu arrived at their bedside.
Before they could even scream, Xuezhu slapped them one by one as usual, knocking them unconscious.
Then he carried one on his left and one on his right and floated out of the wall.
Outside, three people were waiting for him.
The round-faced steward was paying attention to the movements around him, Poison Lady was yawning, and the master of the house took out his small stool from somewhere, sat there with his body hunched and his head lowered, and seemed to have fallen asleep.
Seeing Xuezhu coming, the master of the house put away the small stool and put it into the snakeskin bag. The four of them left quietly again and headed for the farm in the suburbs.
This is Ji Yunxi's farm.
Before the round-faced steward and his men set off, Wu Weian asked her where to put the people. She pointed to this place among the shops, fields, and houses she owned, using the method of pointing out soldiers and generals. The steward of this farm had worked under Ji Yunxi for a long time and was also a talented person from the Ji Mansion, so he was trustworthy.
Ji Yunxi had already made arrangements, and the steward cleared out a small courtyard in the most remote part of the village where no one would go, and asked Xuezhu to lock the person up there.
Xuezhu put the old man and the old woman on the bed.
They were in a safe place now and had plenty of time, so Xuezhu was very patient. He laid the two of them flat on the bed and even fine-tuned the position of their limbs.
The round-faced steward, the poisonous lady and the master of the house were waiting nearby.
Poison Lady was chatting with the round-faced steward: "I heard that the Madam gave the young master two thousand taels! Steward Yuan, do we have a share of this money?"
Manager Yuan put his hands behind his back and looked at Lady Du: "Yes."
"What the hell? We all have a share? Is that true?!" Poison Lady's voice suddenly grew louder, extremely shocked and surprised. She had just asked casually because this was simply impossible. Who was that? That was their young master! The young master who would never give two cents if he could give one!
Mr. Zhai sat on his small stool, with his hands in his pockets and his head down, not participating in the discussion.
Of course, he had been listening attentively. But he felt that it was too early for Ah Du to be happy.
As expected, Manager Yuan pulled his wrinkled face and said, "Young Master took out a thousand taels and asked me to first report the money that everyone had been anxious to report a while ago, and then divide the rest equally among the brothers who contributed this time."
Poison Lady rubbed her hands together, very excited: "Then how much can each person get?"
Manager Yuan said: "I calculated that among the hundred or so brothers in the capital, each of them can finally get seven cents."
She had been spoiled by the lady of the house with a life of luxury, blowing ice cubes every day (yes, everyone in the family was blowing ice cubes now, whether it was the master and mistress of the courtyard over there, or the servants like them), and Sister Baofu would occasionally give her a few taels of silver, saying that her cooking skills were really great. Poison Lady: "..."
The smile on her face disappeared instantly.
The master of the house said quietly, "In all these years of following the young master, have you ever seen him pay me for any work I do? It's good enough if he does. Seven cents is a lot more than I thought."
On the other side, Xuezhu adjusted the old man and the old woman into the most standard sleeping position, and then pulled up the quilt, neatly covering their bodies and covering their heads.
Everything is perfect.
Xuezhu stood up and the four of them went home.
Poison Lady glanced over there and said, "Xuezhu, the quilt you're using is like covering a dead person. Are you sure they're still alive?"
Xuezhu replied seriously: "This is how I cover myself when I sleep. I'm still alive."
After the four people left, the manager of the farm hurried into the room and pulled the quilt down a little.
These two men are still useful to the third girl, it would be bad if they were suffocated.

It was late at night, but the candles were still lit in Ji Yunxi and Wu Weian's room.
Wanxiang knocked on the door, and after receiving the order, she hurriedly pushed the door open and walked in.
Wu Weian sat at the table, crossed his legs, and leaned back in his chair casually.
He was holding a topographic map of a certain place in his hand, with his head slightly lowered, wondering what he was thinking.
Ji Yunxi huddled in the beauty bed, holding a book in her hand, but she didn't turn a single page. She raised her head and glanced at Wanxiang's expression: "What's wrong?"
Wanxiang bowed and said, "Miss, Xiangping has sent a letter by carrier pigeon. It's summer now and the weather is hot. Our four pawnshop warehouses have accidentally caught fire."
Ji Yunxi's eyes narrowed as she stood up from the couch. "How's the fire? Are there any casualties?"
Wanxiang: "The fire has been put out, but a lot of things were damaged and several guys were injured. But their lives are not in danger."
"That's good." Xiangping is a dry and hot place. The temperature rises as soon as summer comes, making it easy for fires to start. Fires happen every year. Every year, they take precautions in advance, but accidents still happen every year. Ji Yunxi instructed, "The injured employees must be settled and the damaged items must be counted. If there is insufficient money in the pawnshop, it must be replenished as quickly as possible. By the way, you should notify all shops in various places to pay attention. Fires are prone to start in the summer, so do not bring candles to places prone to fire. As for the shops around Xiangping, tell everyone not to light fires at night and use night-shining pearls instead."
"Yes, miss." Wanxiang took the order and left.
