Elf version of the Three Kingdoms
Chapter 29: Xun 1
The time goes back to three days ago, when Xun Huo had just arrived in Luoyang.
While he was chatting happily with Xun Shuang and was being educated and played with by his father, Xun Yi was being pulled by the housekeeper Li Bo to fill out a report.
"Name." The old man took out a stack of paper expressionlessly.
"Lao Yi...oh no...Xun Yi." The young boy sat upright and answered the old man's questions seriously.
"age."
"Fifteen... or sixteen, right?"
"Gender." The old man remained expressionless.
"???" The young man was stunned for a moment and looked at his lower body in confusion, "I must be a man, right?"
For a moment, the atmosphere seemed a little depressing.
Xun Yi asked with some embarrassment, "No, Uncle Li, the servants of the Xun family still need to record these?"
The steward named Li Bo glanced at Xun Yi and said, "This is the rule set by the young master."
"But the head of the family didn't say that before?" Xun Yi said in surprise.
"That's because the young master has forgotten. As his subordinate, you must also remember that the young master often orders many things. These are forward-looking and groundbreaking, but the young master doesn't care about these things."
Steward Li's tone remained calm, and Xun Yi felt that when Steward Li spoke, the atmosphere around him became more and more depressing, as if someone was about to die at any time.
Xun Yi felt that his hair was standing on end.
"Regarding the registration of people in the government and the registration of people in the city, it was all proposed by the young master. During the Yellow Turban Rebellion, many hidden Yellow Turban bandits were uncovered."
After Butler Li explained, he lowered his head and looked at the entries written on the paper, "People who come and go frequently, as well as relatives - think carefully before answering, this is very important."
"If someone says that he is someone you hang out with and interact with but you don't say so, then we have reason to suspect that there is an ulterior connection between you."
"At the same time, if we find that you have close contact with people you don't frequent, then we have reason to suspect that you are related to the Yellow Turban bandits."
After saying that, Butler Li looked up and stared at Xun Yi again, "Oh, I think about it, you seem to be the Yellow Turban bandits originally, then you have to tell those people who were Yellow Turban bandits in the past. If they are found in or near our Xun Mansion, It needs to be reported promptly.”
Although he was directly exposed as the Yellow Turban thief, Xun Yi didn't feel any sadness or anger now. Instead, it was... a very complicated emotion.
In fact, thanks to Xun Or's perverted system and the fact that the Yingchuan family completely complied with Xun Or's defense and investigation mechanism, the Yellow Turbans of Bocai were eventually forced to move to another place to revolt.
Those who participated in the uprising were ordinary people. If you directly asked them if they were members of the Yellow Turbans and if they planned to cause rebellion, it would put a lot of pressure on them.
Registration is actually only one aspect. The questioning method is an effective way to uncover potential Yellow Turban thieves and spies. Ordinary people who have never seen this battle must be a little panicked.
Ordinary people only have such a wide range of activities. If you live in this village, it is difficult to communicate with people from that village frequently. But you must contact them before the Yellow Turban Uprising. Now I am checking you. Do you want to tell me about the person who lives in another village? people?
After this hesitation and panic, the person with the problem can be roughly analyzed, and then through Xun's reputation, the power of the Yingchuan family's servants to patrol can be increased.
And Bocai was a resourceful man - these days, we are not afraid that the enemy is too smart, we are afraid that the enemy is not smart - if Bocai is a reckless man, then Xun Yu's actions will be of no use.
But Huangfu Song, who could deceive someone who could not take care of himself at one time, would definitely not be a reckless man.
Therefore, the plan was successful. Bocai's Yellow Turban did not choose to revolt in Yingchuan, and the entire Yingchuan was saved during the Yellow Turban Rebellion.
But there is nothing that can be done about the rebellion of the princes. The place of Yingchuan Four Battles cannot be saved no matter how hard it is. The Xun family will inevitably encounter the problem of taking sides here. It is better to just take a stand in advance.
So Xun or he doesn't plan to continue with this matter because the workload is too heavy.
But Xun Yu didn't seem to think of notifying him, so the steward Li Bo still used this method to record every retainer, servant, and soldier who had just entered the Xun family.
Among them, retainers need to be specially questioned and files established.
Therefore, it took half an hour to fill in and record the basic questions of ordinary servants, and then spent another hour to test Xun Yi's physical fitness, reflexes, literary literacy, etc., and handed Xun Yi a comparison copy of simplified Chinese characters and current fonts. Let him learn.
It took another half an hour to make a detailed assessment of the tacit understanding, cooperation, and strength between Bidianiao and Xunyi.
After spending two full hours and draining all the physical strength of Xun Yi and Bi Diao, Xun Yi finally got a chance to breathe, "Well, Uncle Li, should I go and see the head of the family now? It seems that the head of the family has told me Task, let me go and summon the supervisor to the craftsmen."
Uncle Li closed his eyes, seemed to sense something, and then said, "Young Master is not in the house now."
Xun Yi didn't know how the old man in front of him sensed it, but the other party had no reason to lie to him.
"Then...what should I do?"
However, at this time, Butler Li Bo's face was still very gloomy and he said, "Young Master once said that retainers need to have subjective initiative and cannot rigidly wait for orders."
Fortunately, during this period of time, Xun Yi had understood the gloomy buff that affected his surroundings, and had become accustomed to it, and was still able to speak normally.
"So, what you mean, Uncle Li...this is actually a test for me by the master of the family," Xun Yi suddenly thought.
In fact, it was a sudden idea to apply this to Xun Yu.
"No." Butler Li Bo had a gloomy face and shook his head, "Young Master just simply forgot about you."
Thinking about it carefully, Xun Yi felt that this possibility was not impossible.
It seems that in his memory, when Xun You took him away from Chenliu Camp, he didn't tell his brothers what to do. It was clear that there was a plan on the carriage at the beginning.
So...why is this head of the family completely different from those described in the book?
"Young Master is a very casual person. His plans are often the combination and entanglement of dozens of plans. Even if some of the plans are not completed, it will not affect the Young Master's final plan."
Li Bo said with his usual gloomy expression.
"Whether you complete the Young Master's instructions or not, it will not have any impact on the Young Master's final plan, but it will have a great impact on your position in the Young Master's heart. Unlike me, the Young Master is actually a very indifferent person,"
Xun Yi looked at Uncle Li's gloomy expression and felt that the man in front of him looked more "cold".
After all, Xun You could still laugh, but not only did Uncle Li in front of him never smile from beginning to end, but even the air around him cooled down.
"I suffered a head injury. The young master said that the nerves were damaged, resulting in paralysis of facial muscles and the inability to make expressions. But I believe that the young master who made this inference has probably forgotten it."
In fact, Xun You did forget it, so he felt slightly uneasy when he saw his father Xun Shuang. After all, the housekeepers all looked like they were about to die.
Steward Li Bo seemed to have noticed Xun Yi's doubts, and he was very kind... and said gloomily: "Young Master's indifference is something we cannot understand clearly. You don't need to make any assumptions. As long as you do what the Young Master has told you to do, the Young Master will naturally do it." I’ll pay you accordingly.”
"But you have to remember that there are some things that require you to appear in front of the Master frequently to ask for advice, and there are some things that require you to achieve results according to the Master's wishes before you can ask for credit."
Xun Yi is not a stupid person. After being reminded by the housekeeper Li Bo, he did find many strange things about Xun Yi.
After all, a normal person would never take someone under his wing after being robbed, without caring that the other person's brother died in his hands.
If you think about it carefully, after recruiting these robbers like them, you didn't take any precautions against them along the way.
They live and eat directly with the servants. Except that they are not qualified to ride in the car and can only follow them, they are almost the same as ordinary servants. They are even issued with weapons that are better than nothing.
But after arriving at Chenliu Camp, Xun You didn't care about the situation of these people at all. They were all arranged by the soldiers in the camp.
Xun Yi felt that if he had not taken the initiative to follow him, it was doubtful whether the head of the family would have brought him to Luoyang.
In an instant, Xun Yi seemed to understand something. Perhaps this was what Butler Li Bo said - "indifference."
"Please tell Uncle Li what you should do." Xun Yi bowed respectfully to the butler Li Bo.
Uncle Li nodded with satisfaction and a gloomy expression, "Whatever the young master wants, you will get it for him. You don't even have to follow what the young master does in the process."
"But some methods will make you feel disgusted, and some methods will make you interested. You have to control the degree yourself. You must always remember that there are brothers behind you who rely on your existence."
"You must understand and remember the reason why the young master keeps you and your brothers. You must know that the young master is never short of people."
Xun Yi closed his eyes and thought for a while, then nodded solemnly and thanked Uncle Li.
Uncle Li's eyes showed appreciation, and then he said, "You can use all the money and supplies in the house as you wish. My lord has said that after the young master comes to Luoyang, we must be ready to leave at any time."
Then, Butler Li Bo turned around and left.
At this time, the Bi Diao parked on the wall also flew over and landed on Xun Yi's shoulder.
"Second brother, why do you think the head of the family kept us?"
Xun Yi looked up at the direction where the sunset was setting. His words didn't seem like he was asking, but rather like he already had the answer.
--------
In these three days, we have to solve the problems of resuming work and renting a house in Hangzhou, so it may not be possible to update twice a day, but for the sake of the majority of readers who invest, there will still be words a day.
