The evil woman becomes the concubine and the villain is crushed to ashes

Xie Zhibai nodded and said with a smile: "Master He, the sun is shining brightly today. Why don't we dry the files in the sun to prevent them from getting moldy during the rainy season. If we are blamed by our superiors, we will be scolded again."

Hearing this, the clerk who was passing by stopped, thought for a moment, and nodded, "Okay!"

Xie Zhibai smiled and said, "In that case, let's hurry up and take out all the files in the warehouse and dry them out."

The clerk didn't waste any time and followed Xie Zhibai into the library.

Most of the people in the warehouse were busy. Some were checking files, some were organizing files, and some were doing other things.

In short, everyone does their job and everything is in order.

After Xie Zhibai came in, he clapped his hands, and all eyes were drawn to him for a moment.

Xie Zhibai smiled and said, "My dear colleagues, I see the sun is shining brightly today. Why don't we take all the files in the warehouse out to dry them in the sun? Otherwise, if it rains, these files will get moldy again, and we will suffer the consequences!"

Xie Zhibai's sudden proposal made everyone a little confused, and then Lord He who had just spoken also stood up and spoke.

"Everyone, I think Mr. Xie's suggestion is also for everyone's sake. It may take some time to move the books, but with so many of us, it will only take a while. We can pack up and be out soon."

Xie Zhibai then smiled and said, "By the way, I was just about to invite all my colleagues to drink. Speaking of which, everyone knows what happened to my Xie family this time. We confronted Xiao... that shameless guy, and almost suffered a great loss."

"And our family was able to escape unscathed and get rid of a family of bastards, all thanks to all of you colleagues who spoke up for justice in the court and did not add insult to injury. I, Xie, will remember all of you for this favor."

"But I really can't find a chance to invite everyone to drink and express my gratitude. Let's take this book out and let it air out. After we get off work today, let's go to the restaurant and have a drink. I'll treat you!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of some people who had been quite reluctant just now changed instantly.

After all, no one likes to do this extra work, but from what Xie Zhibai said, it was obvious that he wanted to use the excuse of showing off the books to treat them to drinks.

The real reason is to express gratitude.

The Xie family was indeed in bad luck this time, but their colleagues did not take advantage of their misfortune and even spoke up for them. On the surface, they should be thanked.

Although they all have their own power behind them and they follow orders, what does that matter?

The most important thing is that the Xie family actually took the initiative to invite everyone to drink. Is the sun rising from the west?

You know, Xie Zhibai was definitely not this kind of person before.

Although he is very capable, he is not good enough in terms of human relations, and there are people who scold Xie Zhibai for being hypocritical behind his back.

It's really rare nowadays.

This person who has never understood the ways of the world is actually willing to invite others to drink. Everyone has to go even if it is just to see the novelty, so they all responded.

"Oh, thank you for what you said, sir. We are all colleagues. Isn't it our duty to help each other when there is something wrong?"

"That's right! What is the reputation of the Xie family in the capital? Who doesn't know? Who doesn't know? If I were to say, you are just too good-tempered, that's why you are bullied."

"Of course, some people are just bad. Lord Xie, we all respect you very much. Sir Xie, isn't that too polite? But it's rare that you invite us, so we have to go no matter what."

"People who take advantage of others' misfortunes are despicable, and we certainly won't do that..."

One by one, they came forward to talk, and the atmosphere instantly became relaxed.

Xie Zhibai bowed again to express his gratitude and took the initiative to talk to many people.

His appearance made many people speculate, and they gathered in groups of three or four to murmur.

"Hey, what's wrong with the eldest son of the Xie family? Why is he suddenly inviting us to drink? Didn't the Xie family father and son hate to interact with people? They left the court after attending court, and returned home after finishing their shifts. They ignored everyone, like wooden men."

"If you ask me, it's probably because they suffered a great loss this time that they realized the importance of making friends. After all, if the Xie family hadn't made a desperate move this time, the Xiao family would have succeeded."

"Yes, I heard that this time it was really dangerous. After all, it was the emperor who granted the marriage, so it's not that easy to cancel it. Speaking of which, it was also the eldest son of the Xiao family who was careless and really despicable. He stole someone and went to the second room of his fiancée's family. Isn't this a slap in the face?"

"The most important thing is, you did something wrong, and you were caught red-handed. Who would be willing to have such an in-law?"

"Isn't it? Not to mention that the legitimate daughter of the Xie family is regarded as the apple of the eye by the Xie family father and son, even if she is an unfavored concubine's daughter, if she does something like this, it will bring shame to the Xie family. They must not suffer this loss."

Everyone speculated on the reason for Xie Zhibai's transformation, and finally they all agreed that -

The Xie family suffered a great loss this time, but they finally grew up and learned that the world is not about fighting and killing, but more about the human relationships and worldly wisdom!

Otherwise, how could Xie Zhibai, who was always so noble, take the initiative to come down to earth and drink with these people? It was really strange.

However, everyone was very happy about Xie Zhibai's transformation.

Although they are all colleagues, most of the people present have lower official positions than Xie Zhibai, and those who have higher official positions than Xie Zhibai are also quite old.

Xie Zhibai is a real young talent. What's more, Xie Zhibai's father is a marquis, and Xie Zhibai himself is capable. Who knows, he may become the director of the Ministry of Justice in the future, which means his future boss!

So naturally no one would be hostile to Xie Zhibai.

Now Xie Zhibai didn't ask them to do anything, he just wanted to treat them to a meal, so they had to go no matter what for the sake of face.

So under the organization of Xie Zhibai, everyone started to take action and move out the files and other rare books on the shelves.

After a while, the clean courtyard outside was filled with books drying in the sun.

Xie Zhibai kept hanging around the door, looking outside the yard from time to time, but he never saw anyone coming.

But he was not in a hurry. He put the books outside in place from time to time. When he stood up again, he saw a figure coming in from outside the yard.

Xie Zhibai's alarm bells immediately rang. He looked carefully and saw a familiar face of the person who came. It was Sun Laiyun, the confidant of Lord Qin, the Minister of Justice.

coming!

Xie Zhibai immediately turned around and coughed twice.

At this moment, a clerk who was working next to a shelf in the room heard the voice, turned around, and saw Xie Zhibai's face.

Xie Zhibai gave him a wink, and the clerk immediately looked over. He then took out a file that he had been hiding at hand, sandwiched it among a pile of files, held them all in his arms, and walked out with his head down.

Sun Laiyun naturally saw the loud commotion in the warehouse.
