As the saying goes, cut grass to remove roots.


    The Jin family implemented this rule very well.


    If you don''t get rid of the signs, it will eventually become a disaster.


    "I will tell the national master what Lord Jin has done and sacrificed. As for the new boys Gu Chang''an and Hong Xun Lian, they must be waiting for beheading at the Meridian Gate in the future."


    The entourage didn''t talk like an entourage, but as if he were a national teacher.


    This sentence is taken for granted.


    Hearing the speech, Jin Youde nodded silently.


    And the attendant, after saying these words, swaggered away from the Jin house.


    Of course, it''s a secret door.


    After those people left, Jin Youde was the only one left in the room.


    He took a few dull sips of wine and felt a little uncomfortable.


    So he stretched out his hand and touched it back. The floor before flowing warm blood has become very cold, but it still has a slightly viscous touch.


    Jin Youde felt a little uneasy about his conscience.


    Maybe


    Conscience is a superfluous thing for him.


    "Sir, it''s time for dinner."


    While he was thinking like this, the concubine of the Jin family was like a cloud, but the most favored cloud list said.


    "You go first... Let them eat first. Don''t wait for me. The master is not hungry tonight."


    Jin Youde waved his hand.


    Yundanzi hesitated and wanted to persuade one or two, but he didn''t dare to speak.


    The master who has a good temper in front of outsiders has the same temperament in the Jin mansion.


    All over the family, only they can rely on their pet to sprinkle a little Jiao when they are in a good mood.


    But now, Jin Youde is obviously in a bad mood.


    So yundanzi can only close the door and then go out quietly.


    "Shan er..."


    Jin Youde suddenly shouted at her.


    The latter stopped, turned around honestly, stood upright, hung his hands, lowered his head and waited for Jin Youde''s orders.


    "Come and sit down."


    Jin Youde patted the chair aside.


    Yundanzi glanced at him, unable to see anything wrong from his slightly sad expression.


    "How long have you been with me?"


    "If you go back to the master, it''s been three years."


    "It''s half shorter than Xiaode''s time."


    Xiaode, it''s the name of the entourage who died before.


    Because he had been around for a long time, Jin Youde gave him the only word with a little technical content in his name.


    Jin Youde didn''t deliberately avoid anyone when he killed just now, so basically, except for the children, the servants and masters in the house know that a confidant who had been with the master for six years had just died in this room.


    When yundanzi heard that Jin Youde asked so, his heart began to panic.


    After all, a six-year-old Xiaode has died in this room. It seems no big deal to kill a three-year-old cloud list inexplicably.


    The master never needs a reason to kill people in the Jin mansion. At least he doesn''t need a reason to explain to others.


    "Do you know why I am fierce at home and greet everyone with a smile when I go out?"


    "This... Because the master treats us as relatives... So there''s nothing to hide."


    The cloud list guessed and replied.


    "Family? Hehe..."


    There was a slight irony in Jin Youde''s smile.


    He has established a person without official and corruption since he became an official. He is also generous to lower officials and will never buckle and search. Therefore, Jin Youde is no worse in the reputation of his subordinates.


    In the eyes of the Shangguan, he said that the greed was nothing more than petty profits, which could not create any big waves.


    So until the end, everyone had some doubts about Jin Youde''s ability to become a top-ranking official.


    What does such a corrupt official, who is greedy for money and lust and worthy of the name, rely on to get into the first grade of the current dynasty?


    "You people... I, Jin Youde, just like money, but I''m just lecherous. But I''m not stupid! Don''t I know what you are? As the niece of Lord Liu, the Minister of the Ministry of household, did you wronged me to be a concubine?"


    "You said that only when I take you as my family can I look at you angrily? Bah! I really think highly of myself!"


    Jin Youde struggled to get up.


    "I am angry with you because you clearly belong to their owners, but you shamelessly live in my house and want me to support you willingly!"


    "I can''t count Zhang''s family, Liu''s family, National Normal University''s family, hanging mirror division, Dali temple... As long as it''s a person, I can release one person to mine!"


    "After my name, Jin Youde, there is the word Youde. If I can take care of so many people who have nothing to do with it, I can afford it."


    Jin Youde said. He stood up and walked out of the house in some silence, whispering.


    "Let everyone force me to stand in line, and then someone Jin will stand in line for you to see. When the imperial master? Envoy of Qingyang Prefecture?"


    "What is dout?"


    Jin Youde read it in pieces, and his back was a little bleak and lonely.


    ……


    After visiting the two houses, there is also the place of Lord Feng Yuesheng.


    The front two are in a hurry to stand in line. They are afraid that they will not be able to squeeze into a position at that time, but the veteran in the back will not stand in line so smoothly. They will never show their position until the last minute.


    Feng''s house is the most regular house among the three.


    Neither the Hong mansion nor the Jin mansion is so heroic. It''s like the home of an ordinary senior official.


    After informing the door, Gu Changan smoothly entered Feng''s house under the guidance of the housekeeper.


    Some moso bamboos were planted in the front yard, which was elegant. A small pond was dug in the backyard, in which the water was clear. Colorful Koi play and play. There are evergreen lotus leaves on it, which is also beautiful.


    "When I''m old and bored, I like to meddle with these gadgets."


    Feng Yuesheng stood in front of the bamboo house in the backyard and said with a smile.


    Gu Chang''an quickly saluted. Gu Chang''an should respect such a highly respected veteran of the current Dynasty.


    "Old Feng is good at Yaxing."


    Gu Changan praised.


    The bamboo house in the backyard is hung with a plaque called "Qingya house", which is Feng Yuesheng''s study.


    "Mr. Gu, please talk in the study."


    Feng Yuesheng invited.


    "Tea has already been prepared in the study. Now it''s boiling. It''s time for Lord Gu to come."


    Gu changan only smiled bitterly. These elders are used to officialdom. They don''t know everything. They just mention you in a roundabout way.


    In and out of these words, I said tea, which clearly meant that as soon as I came to the capital, it was like boiling this pot of calm lake water.


    "When the tea is boiling and smelling, you can tell at a glance how much leaf dust is good or bad."


    Feng Yuesheng nodded perfunctorily, even thinking.


    Gu Changan had no choice but to follow the former into the bamboo house.


    As soon as you enter the bamboo house, you can smell the elegant tea fragrance mixed with the fragrance of bamboo forest, which makes you feel relaxed and happy, and some detached from the world.
