Chapter 937: They are all acquaintances
The housekeeper said with a sad face: "Master, if you don't leave now, the master will blame me, and I can't afford to offend him."
The more the butler acted like this, the more strange Lin Feng felt.
Lin Feng and Pei Qiyin looked at each other, and both saw doubt in each other's eyes.
"Stop talking so much and wait until your master comes back. Otherwise, go and get those men to do it."
Lin Feng simply ignored this person and turned into the house.
More than twenty guards stood around, holding shotguns in their hands, looking coldly at the hundreds of young men in the distance.
Seeing that his persuasion was ineffective, the housekeeper frowned and looked at the Zhenxi Army in front of him, then turned his head to look at his own farmers.
After thinking it over again and again, I felt that it would be bad if this matter became a big deal, so it would be better to keep quiet.
When it was time for the meal, someone was sent to deliver the food.
This made Lin Feng feel a little guilty.
After thinking for a moment, he whispered to Pei Qiyin.
"Let's go inside tonight. This manor owner is quite interesting."
Pei Qiyin didn't understand.
"General, are you going to thank them?"
Lin Feng shook his head: "This person is not simple, or rather, he is a powerful person who hides his identity and does not want to attract attention. What do you think?"
"The general's judgment has always been accurate. Qiyin has long admired him."
"Okay, let's eat first, and then we can go over there quietly."
When curiosity arises, no one can stop it.
Lin Feng thought that he had to spend the night here anyway and wait for reinforcements to arrive.
When I have nothing to do, I have to go into the manor and find out what’s going on.
With his current skills, it would be easy and pleasant for him to enter the buildings in the manor under the cover of night.
Facing these ordinary people, Pei Qiyin's body movements were also very comfortable.
The two of them moved back and forth among the rows of houses and yards, looking for the residence of the owner of the manor.
This target is not difficult to find. Wherever the lights are bright and the buildings are high-end and classy, that is the owner's residential area.
However, the manor was very large and there were many houses and buildings inside. In order to avoid passers-by, the two men took some time to see the brightly lit courtyard and the pavilions inside in front of them.
The building is three stories high, with lanterns hanging on the eaves and oil lamps lit everywhere in the yard. From a distance, it looks magnificent, like a fairyland.
Lin Feng exclaimed in admiration, this manor owner is really rich, he must check whether he has paid enough taxes.
Lin Feng implemented a progressive tax rate. The richer the family, the more taxes they would pay.
Ordinary people, on the other hand, paid very little tax.
A wealthy man who is as extravagant as the one before us must be made to pay taxes until he feels pain.
Pei Qiyin seemed to know what he was thinking. Behind him, she poked Lin Feng's lower back with her little finger. When Lin Feng turned his head to look at her, she winked at his right eye mischievously.
Under the light, Pei Qiyin's pretty face was as white as jade, and her expression was innocent and naive, which made Lin Feng dazed for a moment and he almost slipped and fell off the wall.
Pei Qiyin was so angry that she covered her mouth and shrugged her shoulders, enduring it with great difficulty.
Lin Feng waved at him, and the two of them quieted down and looked up at the building in front of them.
On the third floor, the carved windows were half-closed, and light shone through from inside, accompanied by the sound of piano music and gentle laughter.
"What a wonderful day..."
Pei Qiyin came close to Lin Feng and nodded in admiration.
Lin Feng reached out and patted her shoulder, then stood up and jumped onto the pavilion, then flipped over the eaves to the outside of the third floor.
Peering in through the carved window sashes.
The room was brightly lit, and there were two low tables in the main hall, filled with exquisite dishes.
In the corner of the flower hall, there were three musicians playing music seriously.
There were two people sitting behind the low table: a man and a woman. The man was tall and handsome, and the woman was graceful and beautiful.
The housekeeper who had spoken to them during the day was standing at the door in fear, with his head lowered, listening to the lecture.
Lin Feng smiled at the first sight.
Pei Qiyin also moved over, took a look at the situation in the room, almost squeezed into Lin Feng's arms, looked up and smiled at Lin Feng.
They immediately understood why the owner of the manor didn't want outsiders to stay any longer.
Both the man and woman in the room were very familiar. One was Xu Jin, the chief guard of the Dazong Palace, and the other was Concubine Du, the concubine of Dazong Emperor Zhao Zhen.
The two escaped from the palace and ran to the foot of Tianzhi Mountain, where they lived in a manor they had purchased long ago, preparing to spend their remaining years in peace.
Xu Jin and Concubine Du were both wealthy people, and buying a manor of this size didn't cost much compared to their wallets.
"You're a piece of crap. I gave you so much money, but you can't even do such a small thing. You've wasted my meal."
Xu Jin took a sip of wine and glared at the housekeeper.
Concubine Du said angrily, "Don't worry, Brother Xu. These Zhenxi soldiers will leave tomorrow. Why drive them out?"
Xu Jin glanced at Concubine Du.
"What do you know? This Zhenxi Army has been trained by Lin Feng to be like a wolfhound. His nose is very sensitive. Staying there for even a quarter of an hour longer would be dangerous."
"It's not that exaggerated. If we don't go out, who can tell the difference?"
Xu Jin suddenly raised his finger and pointed at the housekeeper and cursed.
"You bastard, why did you bring these people over to cause trouble?"
The butler argued timidly.
"Master, I just want to scare them so that they can leave here as soon as possible."
"Bullshit! How can you scare the Zhenxi Army? People can tell at a glance what we all look like. Which one of us looks like a farmer? You're bringing disaster upon me!"
Concubine Du said coquettishly: "Brother, don't think too highly of the Zhenxi Army. Don't be too suspicious. Lin Feng is also a mortal. There is no need to be too nervous."
Xu Jin shook his head: "What do you know? You can never be too careful. Lin Feng is a mortal, but if it was him today, we would be fucking finished."
The housekeeper quickly smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master. These people have been settled and will leave tomorrow. Whether it's Lin Feng or not, they have already been fooled."
Concubine Du also raised her glass: "Don't worry, brother. Even if Lin Feng comes, he won't be able to find any flaws. Have a drink and relax."
The reason why she tried so hard to cover it up was because this butler was brought by her and was originally the old butler of her Du family.
Xu Jin shook his head and sighed, picked up the wine cup and drank it all, then sat down on the low table.
"You don't know how powerful Lin Feng is. I tremble just by looking at his calves. It's better to be careful, otherwise, your good days will be over."
Concubine Du quickly stood up and walked over, gently stroking Xu Jin's back.
"Don't be afraid, brother. I've dealt with Lin Feng a few times before, and he's just like that. In terms of ability, he's a lot worse than you."
Xu Jin felt dizzy from her flattery, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.
"Hehe, you're just talking nonsense..."
Concubine Du's body softened and she snuggled into Xu Jin's arms, acting coquettishly.
"What I said is true. If Lin Feng comes today, I will take care of him. I guarantee that he will be weak and helpless, and will let my brother do whatever he wants."
