Chapter 82 Atonement or Sacrifice to Heaven (2 updates and two chapters combined into one)

The next day, Chen Nong came to Si Ye's house to work with an even more obvious black circle. He was confused by the task list placed on the desk and the appointment of the chief editor of the document room.

Didn't he just come here to write an article? Why did he become the immediate boss of the entire Si Ye Clerical Department?

This promotion can no longer be described as a level jump, but a step to the top.

He looked at the Master with sincerity and fear, "Shouldn't this position belong to you, Master?"

Master said: "I work part-time, and I will have to go to a government school to teach. How can I have the time?"

"But..." Chen Nong wanted to say that he had no such experience at all.

The master patted him on the shoulder and whispered: "No one else can ask for this opportunity."

Chen Nong was convinced. He looked down at the scholar at the desk and saw several pairs of envious eyes.

Chen Nong understood, gritting his teeth and admitting it, knowing in his heart that he must bear this burden, and he must bear it steadily. Otherwise, everything he did yesterday will be in vain, and everything he gained will be lost.

Having made the decision, Chen Nong was full of fighting spirit. However, only when he really got into work did he realize how much trouble there was. One morning made this man who was so excited last night and didn't sleep well look even more depressed.

The only person he could complain to was Hu Fuzi. He mentioned to him the various problems in the design, distribution and writing of the Night Travel Newspaper in the early stage, and concluded that the biggest problem was the need to spend money.

Is Siyefu rich?

A week ago, anyone who asked this question to anyone in Siye's house would get the same answer: poor! Really poor!

Now when I ask this question again, the disciples of Si Ye Mansion cannot answer it well.

The supplies are definitely far greater than in the past, but real money and silver... still can't be used much.

Anyway, the upfront investment to set up a new department will definitely not be enough.

If Chen Nong wants money, he has to apply to the accountant of Siye Mansion, and the accountant has to ask the person in charge of Siye Mansion.

Now everyone knows who is in charge of Si Ye Mansion, but it involves real money. Mr. Accountant went to ask Mi August what he meant just in case, and also passed the news to Shen Li.

The accountant thought that his behavior was secretive, but he didn't know that Shen Li's movements were all under Mi August's control.

She didn't mind the accountant's behavior of running away from both sides, and the other party did exactly what Mi August wanted him to do.

A whole box of real gold and silver was carried out from the old house, and after being accounted for by the accountant, it was sent to the clerk's room.

Fu'an, who was in charge of delivering the money, said to Chen Nong: "Master Mi said, Mr. Chen just lets go and does it. The money is enough."

When the box was opened, Chen Nong was also a man who had once been rich. He was only briefly surprised before he calmed down, took a deep breath and said to Fu'an: "Reply to Sir Mi for me. Chen Ziwei will definitely live up to your trust."

Fu'an nodded and saluted him politely before leaving.

Nowadays, no one in Si Ye's mansion knows that Chen Nong has risen to the top in one step. He has caught the attention of Master Mi and has become another famous person after the young master.

Take the young master Feixue as an example. Mr. Chen, who is inconspicuous now, may become famous in the future, so he must be treated with caution.

The fact that Mi August spent a lot of money directly giving gold and silver to Chen Nong soon spread within Si Ye Mansion.

"Where did she get the money?" Liu Jinbao said, "When she bought the car and moved in, she said she had no money to pay the bill."

Shen Li and Liu Zhaocai were both lost in their thoughts, and no one responded to his words.

Liu Jinbao looked at the two of them, especially Liu Zhaocai, "Brother, you have something on your mind."

Hearing this, Shen Li also turned his head in the direction of Liu Zhaocai.

Liu Zhaocai struggled for a moment and said, "Director, in fact, since the night before, the whispers are no longer on my body."

"What!" Liu Jinbao stepped forward and asked anxiously, but Liu Zhaocai stopped him with his eyes.

Liu Jinbao looked at him and calmed down. Seeing Shen Li's expression as usual, he understood that the two of them were hiding something from him. When he thought that his two closest relatives had secrets to hide from him, Liu Zhaocai clenched his hands under his sleeves and said, " what happened?"

Liu Zhaocai first confessed to Shen Li, "What the director said to Mr. Mi that day was actually overheard by me in a whisper." Then he turned to Liu Jinbao, who looked forbearing, and said, "You think we deliberately deceive you, but you don't know. The Director and Mr. Mi have an agreement to disable the magic weapon and save lives. The Director was tortured by the out-of-control magic weapon before, but he asked Mr. Mi to transfer this agreement to me."

Liu Jinbao was stunned and looked at Shen Li, whose eyes were covered with cloth.

Liu Zhaocai said: "Master Mi has great righteousness. He not only saved the director from the crisis, but also complied with the director's request."

Liu Jinbao whispered, "Perhaps she is trying to use a trick."

Liu Zhaocai said: "Whether it was her greed or not, it cannot change the fact that she rescued the director and fulfilled the director's request."

Liu Jinbao was silent for a while, "That's what the director asked us that day." He paused again and then said, "Then what will we do next?"

Liu Zhaocai looked at Shen Li.

Shen Li said: "Go and invite... no, it's up to me, an idler, to go there myself."

…

After receiving the news, Mi August put down what he was doing and told the spirit of the house, "Have someone call Shen Lang over."

Before anyone came, she took out the [Artifact: Hundred Eyes] that had been kept in confinement since it was included in the Book of Good and Evil.

"Continue to be imprisoned, work for me to atone for your sins, and offer sacrifices to heaven." Mi August said, "Choose one."

The fluffy sphere trembles.

Mi August: "Open your eyes, choose one and blink once, choose two and blink twice."

Before she could say three, an eye opened in the fur ball and she blinked twice quickly.

Mi August's tone became gentle, "If you are not my believer, you may not listen to all my words. But as a sinful creature, you have to act in both ways during the atonement period. I will not give you a second chance."

Maoxu trembled.

The reminder from the house spirit sounded, "Shen Lang and Shen Li have arrived at the gate."

Mi August nodded, picked up the wool ball, "I'll start working today and serve new customers."

…

Shen Lang and Shen Li came one after another but did not encounter him.

The reason was that Shen Lang fell into a trap when he entered the house. Before he could ask for help, he was standing in an inner room.

There was a black stuffed ball on the table in the room, and the voice of the housekeeper of the old house that I had heard many times recently sounded in the room, "Anjing is waiting here."

Shen Lang didn't dare to disobey and just stood there obediently.

Soon he saw that the center of the furry ball suddenly opened, and then closed again, as if it could breathe and was deliberately attracting his attention.

Shen Lang was curious but still didn't move.

Baiyan:……

Crazy anxious.

At this time, Shen Lang heard the director's voice coming from outside.

"Master Mi."

"Director."

"...I'm here to say goodbye to Master Mi."

Shen Lang's expression changed drastically and he quickly walked to the door.

He reached out and pushed the door open, but it didn't budge.

Shen Lang remembered that this house was extraordinary, and no matter what he did, it would be in vain.

The voice from outside still came clearly, and he was mentioned in the topic.

outside room.

Mi August did not talk tactfully to Shen Li, "The director's current body is indeed not suitable for carrying the magic weapon anymore. I have chosen a new successor for Bai Yan, Shen Lang."

Shen Li was stunned for a moment, "What does this successor mean..."

Mi August said: "The director of Baiyan is very clear about the effect, and it will also make it easier for Shen Lang to manage Siye Mansion in the future."

This time Shen Li really didn't understand. He said bluntly: "Master Mi, don't you plan to take charge of Si Ye Mansion yourself?"

Mi August: “I’m not good at management.”

Shen Li felt her face hurt, "I think Master Mi has been managing Siye Mansion very well these days."

Mi August shook his head, "I won't stay here long."

Shen Li, who had always thought that Mi August's intentions were for Si Ye Mansion, observed these days and felt that Si Ye Mansion had not deteriorated but was thriving with Mi August in it, so he made up his mind that he could leave with peace of mind and completely give his position to Mi August. Make room to avoid causing dissatisfaction and suspicion in Mi August.

As a result, Mi August told him that no one of her planned to stay.

While Shen Li was distracted, Mi August chatted with him about the development plans behind Si Ye Mansion.

"Relying on night newspapers alone to popularize strange knowledge to the people is not comprehensive enough. I found that most of the people are illiterate, and the private schools are only open to the children of the rich. The private schools are uneven, and there are few children studying there. Including the disciples admitted by Siye Mansion. We also practice martial arts and are poor at writing, and we can’t even recognize most of the characters.”

Shen Lang, who was one of the people who couldn't read big characters, turned red with embarrassment.

Shen Li was attracted by the topic, "What do you mean, Master Mi?"

Mi August said: "I plan to open a night class and teach children for free."

"Free?" Shen Li raised his head, hating that he was blind, otherwise he really wanted to see Mi August's expression now, "Master Mi is a kind man, but the cost of this free school is not trivial."

Mi August said: "I'll go out."
