In February of the fifth year of Chongzhen, Chengcheng.

As the sun sets, there is a red glow in the sky that is so beautiful.

Tsanlang took his brothers to patrol the city all day, but was exhausted and dragged his tired body to his big mansion.

As the leader of Chengcheng, Pinming Sanlang certainly lives in his place, and is one of the best houses in the city. There are as many as 60 or 70 houses, pavilions, pavilions, gardens and pools. However, there are only two servants in such a large house, one is a woman who boils water and cooks rice, and the other is a young man responsible for cleaning and carrying things.

The reason is very simple. Pursuo Shuro feels embarrassed to be instructive!

If a person is born, he is surrounded by maids and servants, and he is probably not very polite to the poor. Three words: spoiled!

But for those who have been struggling in poor mountain villages like Tsailang who have died again, they know how to think about others and let him be high and call the poor to work, but his conscience cannot be overcome.

At the beginning, he lived alone in these sixty or seventy rooms, and no one could chat or talk, which made the huge room full of ghosts. Passersby didn't understand whether people lived here were ghosts. Later, Saburo tried his best to pick up an old beggar woman who was begging for food from the street, which made it possible for the big house to have some voices. However, he did not dare to treat others as slaves and keep them at home like an aunt.

This old beggar woman didn't dare to treat herself as her aunt. When she saw Tingsanlang, she was called the third master. She usually cooked and cooked, and was very diligent. However, she was also a man who liked to meddle in other people's business. After a few days, she picked up a poor boy from her family that no one wanted. The poor boy called him the third master at first. After getting familiar with her, she found that her master was not arrogant, and gradually became called the third brother. Tingsanlang made him scream and didn't care at all.

In short, there are still many empty houses, and the desperate Saburo's home has to become like a home. At least dozens of people have to be picked up.

He was in a relaxed mood on the way home. In recent days, Xu Renjie lived at his home. He chatted with him about some things and had two glasses of wine, but he was happier than living with the two "servants", so his mood became better and better.

I was humming a little tune. Suddenly I saw a thin figure kneeling beside the street corner on the roadside, catching something in the ditch.

"suspicious!"

As the boss of Chengcheng, of course, I have to go and see such suspicious things. Unexpectedly, when I walked to the corner of the street, I was startled by a scare. A little girl with skinny bones shrank in the corner. She was about eight or nine years old, and she looked so hungry that she was almost hungry. Her cheeks were too thin and her eyes were so big that she was like a ghost. Her thin arms were fishing in the mud in the gutter. It turned out that she was looking for the sandworm in the ditch. She found one, and quickly picked it up, threw it into her mouth, and chewed it carefully.

This scene scared Pinxin Saburo. How could he eat this thing? He quickly picked up the girl from the edge of the gutter, took out the cake she brought with her and handed it to her. After asking a few questions, he realized that the girl was a little beggar without a father or a mother, so Pinxin Saburo became kind again and took her home directly.

The little girl was well-behaved and probably understood that this person was here to help her. After eating the cake, she kept silently following the desperate Saburo and walked towards her new home.

After entering the door, he walked into the courtyard and looked up. Xu Renjie was sitting on a stone bench in the middle of the courtyard, holding a handful of stomping crossbows in his hand. He was using the strength of breastfeeding to stomping the crossbows. The method of stomping the crossbows was very troublesome. You must sit in a sitting position, and use your arms, feet, and waist to pull the strings up and hang them well. It is not possible without some skills. A master like Xu Renjie who cannot hold his shoulders and hands can easily talk about it.

"Hahaha, Grand Marshal, what are you playing?" Tsang Saburo laughed and said, "Didn't you take off your hair for a hard-working plan? Why are you in the mood to play crossbow again?"

"Hahaha!" Xu Renjie laughed: "Of course I have a clever plan. How could a small town like Dali give me a headache all the time?"

"Blow, just blow hard... If you fail this time, let's see how Brother Zhu dealt with you." While mocking Xu Renjie, Saburo said to the girl behind him: "I have so many empty houses in my house. You can choose any one you like to live in..."

"Well..." the little girl nodded, but her feet didn't move. It seemed that she was a child who was afraid of having a child and did not dare to run around her newly arrived home.

"Why, I picked up another person?" Xu Renjie smiled: "Now there are four people in your family. I said to Brother Sanlang, you can get a population for your family by picking up this way. When will this mansion be fully occupied? Hahaha! I will introduce you to a few people. They have good goods in their hands. You can buy a suitable maid with twenty taels of silver."

"You said this again..." Pinming Saburo shook his head with a wry smile: "It's all raised by my mother's parents. What do you think of it when you buy it with money? It's so pitiful... Don't mention this again."

"Hey, I can't even listen to this. How can you do big things in the future?" Xu Renjie shook his head: "With your status in the cottage, the mansion will be more than that big in the future. Maybe there will be thousands of houses and tens of thousands of acres of land. If you don't buy maids and servants, you will still rely on picking up people to fill it. I think you won't do anything in your life, just circle the corner of the street..."

"If I want me to buy people with money, I would rather go around the circle for the rest of my life." Pursuing Sanlang hummed.

"Then how do you take a concubine?" Xu Renjie smiled and said, "Taking a concubine is a transaction, a ingot of silver is sealed, a sedan chair is carried back, and one hand is paid and the other hand is delivered..."

"Bao, bah, bah, bah! The dog can't spit out human words." Psychosaur shook his head: "I don't know how to take a concubine!"

In fact... For most people, taking a concubine these days is no different from purchasing goods. It is not a free love relationship. Anyway, it is just a family paying a little money. A girl you don’t know is carried into your door. You can play whatever you want, beat her if you want, scold her, and you can also call her to do all kinds of chores... It doesn’t matter if you get tired of playing, it’s okay to sell it, because the law clearly stipulates that "concubines are all in business", and this thing is a little higher than the maid's status.

"Okay, don't talk about such a long time. You are a rude man who is ignorant. Your wife and concubine are too far away from you. Let's listen to some news that is closer." Xu Renjie put down the crossbow in his hand and said with a smile: "When you went out to patrol the city during the day, Brother Zhu sent someone to spread a message, which was about the rebels from the east and west sides."

"Oh?" Sanrou was so energetic: "Let me tell me quickly."

"Let's talk about Huntian Monkey first. After we were driven out of Luochuan, we entered Yijun westward. With the large number of people and powerful people, we quickly seized Yijun City, and then occupied the security guards. Heshui County two, and now the limelight is in full swing!"

When he heard the name of Huntianhou, Tsang Saburo showed a look of disdain: "This guy relied on the lies of 18,000 taels of silver to inspire the army to such an impulse. Wait until his lies are exposed, let's see how he lives."

"Haha! I guess you're going to say that." Xu Renjie smiled and said, "Brother Zhu said that this guy will die soon, don't worry about him... Since Brother Zhu has spoken, I think he will definitely not live long... Let's talk about other news."

He paused and then said, "After Shen Yikui's death, his rebel army split into many small groups. At the end of last year, his old subordinates Huang Youcai, Hao Lin'an, Liu Wu, Liu Liu, Ke Tianfei and others attacked everywhere in Qingyang and Huanxian, and were extremely active. Zhao Yinglan, the governor of the county of Shixian County, was surrounded by them and was so scared that he hanged himself... Hong Chengchou quickly transferred Yang Jiamo, the general of Gansu, and He Huchen, the general of Ning Xia, to rescue him. A battle between the two sides, Huang Youcai was killed by the muskets of the officers and soldiers, but Tianfei and Hao Lin'an led their troops into the northern mountain stream. In this month, Tianfei and Hao Lin'an came out of the mountains and besieged Qingyang Prefecture... Hong Chengchou sent Cao Wenzhao to rescue, and the result of this battle has not been reported yet."

"Oh? Cao Wenzhao is gone?" Tsang Sanlang gasped: "The situation between Tianfei and Hao Lin'an is very bad. Cao Wenzhao is not an easy guy to deal with. I hope these two heroes will not be killed."

Xu Renjie nodded: "Cao Wenzhao is indeed powerful, but our brother Zhu is even more powerful than him. Humph, if he dares to come to Baishui, he will not beat him up to find teeth."

"Stop coming, Brother Zhu doesn't like fighting such meaningless battles!" Psychicang smiled and said, "He can try not to fight without fighting. If he can spend less manpower and material resources, he can spend as little as possible and try to avoid head-on conflicts with officers and soldiers."

"I know too!" Xu Renjie spread his hands and said, "Brother Zhu is right to do this. Now he uses this trick. Our Emperor Taizu has used it... What's the name... Build high walls, accumulate grain, and slowly become king. As a result, Emperor Taizu successfully defeated the Yuan Dynasty and established our current Ming Dynasty. But... he knew that he was right, but I don't like this. Alas, I really want to fight... I really want to fight as soon as possible."

"You guy... just know how to fight!" Tsailang laughed and scolded.

At this moment, a "bumping" sound of smashing the door came from the gate of the house. A messenger shouted outside: "Brother Sanlang, brother Marshal, Xue Hongqi has retreated from Dali. He is now in Chengcheng. Please go and have a look."

"Oh, I finally retreated!" Xu Renjie was overjoyed and jumped up: "I can finally fight!"

"We can finally defeat the battle again!" Sanro Tsang made fun of him.

"What's the defeat? This time, I am an unparalleled plan. The city of Dali is broken." Xu Renjie shouted, and ran outward. Although Sanlang was so tired, he still followed him out. Unexpectedly, he had just run a step and suddenly felt someone pulling his clothes from behind. He turned his head to see that it was the poor little girl he had just picked up.

The girl smashed her mouth: "Master... don't leave, I don't know what to do if you leave..."
