Young master, bend that nest grass

Rui Muli thought that they would talk to each other casually, but Patriarch Lin sat in the first place directly and didn't look at Rui Muli, just drinking tea there silently, waiting for the time to pass, and then hurriedly sent Rui away. Muli.

Occasionally, the two of them would have a little communication, but most of them were long silences.It seems that everything in the past has gone with the wind, Rui Muli has always been a part of the Rui family, never a member of the Lin family.

Time went away little by little, feeling that it was almost time, Rui Muli got up and wanted to leave.Greeting Patriarch Lin, Rui Muli was stopped by the guards at the door.

A sense of urgency and oppression frantically surged in his heart, and Rui Muli was always on guard against Patriarch Lin's sudden turn of events.Keeping his meekness on his face, Rui Muli looked at Patriarch Lin: "I don't know what Patriarch Lin means?"

"Stay a little longer." With five simple words, Patriarch Lin just kept him here.

Rui Muli narrowed his eyes.It's too late, he doesn't want to play any mother-child drama with Patriarch Qiao, and he doesn't want outsiders to misunderstand anything. "What if I don't want to?"

"You can choose to fight out." The Lin family's tone was quite flat, but not lacking in contempt.Obviously he didn't think Rui Muli could do this.

Rui Muli didn't think about rushing over.He didn't think he could beat everyone in the Lin family and break out of the encirclement.He is proud, but he is also self-aware.

Sitting back on the chair again, Rui Mu closed her eyes, said nothing, and adopted a non-violent non-cooperative gesture.

Anyway, he chose two hours at the beginning, but now that the time has not come, he is not particularly worried.

Rui Muli just had a new understanding of Patriarch Lin. It seems that Patriarch Lin's feelings for Patriarch Qiao are true, and he has completely thought about the consequences of his reputation. If he is not the cannon fodder, he will also feel emotional for the two of them. endlessly.

Lazily sitting back on the chair again, Rui Muli continued to complain: "Are these paintings hanging near the hall selected by Patriarch Lin himself? They are extraordinarily individual."

"..." Without saying a word, Patriarch Lin didn't expect Rui Muli to say anything nice.Although he didn't intend to release people so soon, a superficial peace is still necessary.

Hearing his belittling words, Patriarch Lin just closed the lid of the teacup lightly, pushed the teacup aside, and didn't give Rui Muli a look.

Rui Muli automatically acquiesced to Patriarch Lin's reply: "Then Patriarch Lin is very discerning and knows how to save money. I just didn't know that he didn't notice the fake on the corner of the wall."

Patriarch Lin's face froze for a moment, and he couldn't hold back for a moment, and began to retort: ​​"How could there be a fake?"

"How is it impossible?" Rui Muli asked back: "This painting has been stored in my private treasury for a long time, and it has been kept in Rui's house before. I didn't bring it back at the beginning, and the handwriting and paper of the real one are a little different from the fake one. .”

In fact, Rui Muli took this painting from Rui Hanchi's desk. Afterwards, he played with it for a few days, and then stuffed it into the warehouse. It was collected carefully, but he didn't appreciate it very carefully.

Patriarch Lin didn't say any more, but just wrote down the matter silently.

Two hours had passed, and Patriarch Lin released him just like that.Rui Mu walked away, leaving only a chuckle floating in the air, as if mocking Patriarch Lin's appreciative gaze.

Patriarch Lin's face turned completely cold: "Tear off all the paintings in the hall." Hearing Rui Muli complain for a long time, he couldn't bear it anymore.He was always there before, but he just didn't want to show up.

The owner of the Lin family decided to screen the people who tidy up the warehouse again.What he prepared at the beginning was clearly the authentic one, and he deliberately picked out the type that Xihan liked to post, how could it end up in Rui Muli's hands?

After leaving the gate of the Lin family, Rui Muli felt that the air was fresher, and finally he didn't have to look at Patriarch Lin's cold face and the Lin family's hostile eyes.

Instead of going back to the main city of Rui's family immediately, Rui Muli wanted to go to Hucheng even more, and planned to go there to see how the place was developing.

After Le Zhan was brought back from Lin's house, he didn't stay at Rui's house too long, but chose to go to Hucheng early to prepare for the relevant matters there.

Rui Muli handed over Hu City to him again without hesitation.At the same time, there is also a corresponding borrower agreement signed with Rui Hanchi, and a corresponding cooperation agreement signed with the family,

He didn't go straight to the city lord's mansion in Hucheng, nor did he call Le Zhan over immediately, but simply sent a message to Jin Hao to prevent him from going to Rui Hanmo, Rui Muli walked around Hucheng silently, looking at The view of the neighborhood.

With less than ten days left before the war, Hucheng changed its owner again.In less than a year, this port has been traumatized, and most of the buildings have to be demolished and rebuilt.

The originally bright and majestic white building had some blood stains that had not been completely cleaned up, and the garbage on the street corner had been cleaned up, but the incomplete road surface still seemed to tell the tragedy of the war at that time.

There are more and more pedestrians on the road, and occasionally there will be so many people walking on the street in groups, going to the sparse market to find treasures, and going to drink in the still standing tavern.

There is a lot of waste to be done here, but there is also infinite hope and future; this is his first territory, but it will not be the last.

Walking along the way, Rui Muli looked at the important scenery around him, and at the same time wrote down the corresponding planning direction, and just wandered all the way to the city lord's mansion in Hu City.

Having received news from Jin Hao a long time ago, Le Zhan had been waiting for a long time, and when he saw Rui Muli, he naturally greeted him.

Without asking about Rui Muli's whereabouts, Le Zhan naturally guessed that he probably walked outside, and there was nothing wrong.Holding the materials prepared earlier, Le Zhan spread out the general map of Hucheng, and handed the materials to Rui Muli.

Rui Muli flipped through it briefly, then closed the file, "You did a good job, a little bit better than I imagined."

Although Le Zhan lacks a bit in politics, he is definitely keen on economics. According to the situation in Hucheng, this material maximizes his resources for medical use, which is definitely outstanding.

It doesn't matter about politics for the time being. The Rui family's city contacts are not very close, and occasionally they cooperate with each other. Basically, they are handed over to the caravan below, and there are very few political contacts.

"I also brought the contracts signed with the three cities near Hu City this time." Rui Muli handed the paper contract to Le Zhan, in fact, it was thrown to him by Rui Hanchi this morning.

To develop rapidly, trade is a must.It is probably too late to slowly establish a cooperative relationship now, so it is more appropriate to quickly go to Rui Hanchi for help.At this moment, Rui Hanchi is quite talkative, but Rui Muli is in a rather complicated mood.

The more you owe, the more difficult it is to get rid of the pot in the future.Not only the constraints brought about by blood, but also the many favors, assistance at critical moments, and so many years of teaching.

Maybe he can't get rid of the Rui family, or even completely can't get rid of Rui Hanchi, Rui Muli clearly understands this, or maybe, he can't find a reason to get rid of the Rui family at all.

Originally, after experiencing the Qiao family incident, Rui Muli became a little more sensitive, unwilling to have too much contact with other people, but unfortunately the plan could not keep up with the changes, so he joined the Rui family so soon.

Let's take one step at a time, Rui Muli sighed deeply in his heart, and there was nothing he could do.With his disposition, he would never plan against the Rui family like this without any grievances or any conflicts, so he can only look at the future.

Facing Le Zhan's worried eyes, Rui Muli smiled slightly, and put a token on the table casually, "The Patriarch also lent me a team of troops, which will be included in the city defense team of Hu City in the future, together with the contract documents. send over."

This part of the troops were all from the team that attacked the city last time, and the number was not too large, but since the documents were sent, all the representatives would be left to him, and they would not go back, which is just a nice way of saying.

Probably Rui Hanchi didn't want him to think of the army sent by Patriarch Lin.Back then Patriarch Lin sent a large number of people, and he was extremely grateful for the other party's intentions. In fact, in the end, those troops took Hu City instead, which was a slap in the face.

Therefore, the total number of troops this time is only one-tenth of the number sent by Patriarch Lin, and there are official documents and contracts. Rui Muli has enough places to recruit his own people and control them.

"Patriarch Rui is really very attentive." Le Zhan was amazed. Patriarch Rui is not very busy, but his status is indeed extremely noble. It is true that he can deliberately think of the corresponding matters in Hucheng and make arrangements that are most beneficial to them. It is not easy.

Rui Muli laughed for it. If Le Zhan saw the other side of Rui Hanchi, he would definitely not have any reverence and admiration for Rui Hanchi. At that time, only fear and panic would be left.

If he hadn't seen Rui Hanchi deal with those who committed crimes in his hands, and Rui Hanchi's order to massacre the city, he would probably have thought that Patriarch Rui's brilliance was simply admirable.

Unfortunately, idols are meant to be destroyed.

"Choose some clean people, and quickly clean up all the administrative staff, put all our people in the vacant positions, and watch their performance slowly." Rui Muli had already made plans.

Le Zhan accepted the contract with some excitement, "I will send someone to discuss it tomorrow, and I will definitely take it down and re-establish the business route as soon as possible."

"It's not just the opening of trade routes, the army can't let it go, especially the garrison on the city wall. Those who participate in the rotation must find out the details. Now you can select some people with innocent family backgrounds, break up and insert To the army sent by the Rui family." Rui Muli knocked on the table, his thoughts were quite clear at the moment.

Le Zhan wrote it down seriously: "Okay, the situation will be more stable after today, and I will start recruiting recruits immediately."

"Trust the people sent by the Rui family first, and you can be on guard, but don't doubt them now. We will judge them later based on their performance." Rui Muli actually thought very clearly, as long as he doesn't fall out with Rui Hanchi, he and the Rui family will The relationship between them can be maintained like this forever, but who can make it clear in the future?

"Of course, you can also try to train two or three assistants. After all, there are many internal and external affairs in Hucheng, and you don't have to deal with everything yourself. After all, one's energy is limited." Having said this, Rui Muli deliberately added another sentence : "You should also go out more often, don't keep immersing yourself in the complicated affairs of Hucheng."

Le Zhan smiled, but did not accept the last sentence.

Seeing this, Rui Muli didn't want to force him, but decided to try to find an opportunity in the future to bring Le Zhan over to practice together.He's not the type to exploit his subordinates, especially when he's perfectly satisfied and doesn't mind offering them the right benefits.
