38. The Landlord and the Dog

The next morning, the three brothers had dinner and followed Monk Xiuguang to meet the tenants. When Yao Guangqi saw these people, he immediately determined that Monk Xiuguang did not lie.

These four tenants knew at a glance that they were honest farmers. When they met Yao Guangqi and others, they were a little timid. Yao Guangqi started talking to them. The whole story of the tenants' narration was similar to what Xiuguang said. However, Yao Guangqi noticed that when several people talked to Yao Guangqi and others, the honesty in their bones, the earnestness in their eyes, and the honesty that was not hidden in their words made Yao Guangqi decide that these people were never lying.

After Yao Guangqi and the other two talked with the tenants, Yuan Gong immediately said: "I don't think they look like traitors."

Zhang Yu snorted: "Then follow our plan."

According to the clues provided by Xiuguang and the tenants, the three brothers successfully found the landlord's house, and walked around the outside of the house and walked outside the back door of the house. It should be said that the landlord's house is really large, at least in terms of area, the scale is not worse than the mansion of the Duke and Marquis in the capital.

The three brothers had already changed into the tenant's clothes at this time. Zhang Yu and Yao Guangqi turned to look at Yuan Gong. Yuan Gong smiled and began to chant a spell. In the blink of an eye, a wheelbarrow appeared in front of the three brothers. The cart was full of goods, including half a truck of charcoal, some fresh fruits and vegetables, four chickens, three ducks and one goose.

Zhang Yu applauded, turned his head and smiled and said to Yao Guangqi: "As long as you practice this skill, you will have no worries about eating and drinking for the rest of your life. Brother, do you understand what he is studying?"

Yao Guangqi smiled and said, "I can't hear it clearly, but it seems that it's like mommy and mommy coaxes you, I'll coax you."

Zhang Yu couldn't help laughing.

Yuan Gong was also amused, but he still made a swearing gesture to the two of them, pointed to the gate of the landlord's house, and signaled Zhang Yu to push the cart over.

Yao Guangqi stepped forward and knocked on the door. An old man in his sixties soon came out. The old man was dirty and spoke very arrogantly: "Who are you looking for?" Not only was the old man's tone bad, but the watchdog behind him was even more unfriendly, and he kept barking at Yao Guangqi.

Yao Guangqi nodded and smiled, "Old man, we were tenants who just rented Mr. Wu's land two days ago and sent Mr. Wu to Mr. Wu's birth." He said that, pointing to the small cart that Zhang Yu pushed behind him.

The old man's eyes seemed not very good. He circled around the three people twice, squinted his eyes and looked up and down for a long time, "Why don't I know you? The tenant from the past two days? Why don't I know what this is called? Tell me to listen."

Yao Guangqi felt that the old man's attitude was too tough. You old man also looked like a poor man. We came to send Dongsheng to the landlord's house, so why bother to us so arrogantly? Yao Guangqi had a very bad impression of this old man, so he deliberately teased the old man and said with a smile: "Don't you know? Maybe we had rented the land, and Mr. Wu and the butler forgot to show you the rental contract. Didn't they say hello to you?"

The old man didn't hear Yao Guangqi's words at the first time, but said, "No one has told me about this." After saying this, he reacted and cursed: "Your special mother's thief tenant, dares to stubbornly and fool the man. Believe it or not, tell the housekeeper to deal with you well." The old man got angry, and the watchdog behind him also became energetic and barked at Yao Guangqi again.

Yao Guangqi has always been extremely disgusted with such a bad slave. He blinked his eyes, then laughed, then took a large piece of meat from Zhang Yu's cart and stuffed it into the old man's hand, and deliberately said in a low voice: "Don't be angry, we are countrymen and can't speak. Why do you have the same knowledge as us? You always take this little meaning as you to replenish your brothers and sisters in your family." Yao Guangqi said it to the old man, but his eyes were staring at the dog behind the old man, especially when he said the words "your brothers and sisters in your family", his tone was particularly aggravated.

The old man's eyes were not good, but Yuan Gong beside him could see clearly and couldn't help but pursed his lips and laughed secretly.

Although the old man's eyes were not very good, he quickly took the meat handed over by Yao Guangqi, and took it to a close distance in front of his eyes and squinted his eyes. However, when he was squinting his eyes, he swept Yuan Gong's lips and smiled. Although he didn't see the smile on Yuan Gong's face clearly, he saw Yuan Gong's actions covering his mouth. He felt that Yuan Gong's actions were a bit suspicious, just as suspicious as the origin of this kid. Adhering to the belief of keeping the door for the landlord Mr. Wu De, the old man decided not to be moved by this piece of meat (although he was already moved), and stick to the principle again: "That kid, why are you covering your mouth?"

Seeing that the old guy was not weak, Yao Guangqi decided to give him some hard things. He winked at Yuan Gong. Yuan Gong immediately understood what Yao Guangqi meant. Yuan Gong did not answer the old man's question, but stared at the Laiba dog behind the old man. The dog's eyes turned red in an instant, and he bit the old man's legs. The old man screamed in pain, "You beast, even bit the master when you see the meat. I won't beat you to death today."

The old man didn't care about Yao Guangqi and others, so he picked up the door bolt from behind the door and hit the dog's head. The dog was beaten by the old man and regained his mind. Seeing that the old man was about to knock it down, he turned around and ran away. The old man waved the door bolt and the flesh and chased after him.

In this way, there was no one to guard the small door of Mr. Wu De's backyard, and Yao Guangqi and the other two successfully entered the backyard. Before coming, Yao Guangqi and others had already known that Mr. Wu De was the richest local land and the richest local rich man, but after entering the yard, Yao Guangqi and others discovered that although the yard was large, it was not very luxurious inside, and there was no one in the huge yard.

Yao Guangqi and the other two went to a small courtyard in the backyard. It seemed that it was a small courtyard where the long-term workers lived. Yao Guangqi whispered to the yard: "Is anyone?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the east wing opened, and two people came out one after another, dressed in short clothes, with many patches on the clothes. It was undoubtedly the long-time workers in the yard. One of them was limping and the other was hanging his arms. The one among them said, "What are you doing? Who are you looking for?"

Yao Guangqi said with a smile: "We are looking for Zhao Changwu and Zhao Wu, as well as Uncle Yan Shisanyan."

The lame long-term worker said, "I am Zhao Changwu, why are you looking for me?"

Yao Guangqi walked forward happily: "The old butler at the back door asked me to find Master Zhao Wu and Uncle Yan, and said that I could just leave these things to them. Then this one is Uncle Yan?"
