Chapter 4221 Chapter 4223 [When employing people]
For a period of time after that, Xiang Nan and Haitang stayed in Shuiyue An.
On weekdays, I help Lu Huanong with some farm work, or climb mountains, look at the scenery, go fishing, and drink tea.
Life in the mountains is quiet and comfortable, without so many dangerous jobs, and will not be disturbed by mundane things.
Xiang Nan and Haitang both had fun, as if they were children again.
Their relationship has also been further deepened, and Xiang Nan estimates that he is only one step away from breaking through the last layer of window paper.
However, this step is not easy to break, and you must seize the opportunity.
Because feelings are very delicate, if the heat is a little less than a little, it will not work. Only when it is just right can the most ardent love be inspired.
So Xiang Nan did not take action blindly, but waited for the opportunity.
In addition to accompanying Haitang at Shuiyue Temple, Xiang Nan occasionally goes to Shennongjia to take care of the growth of Tianxiang Cardamom.
I saw that this seedling was still growing well and was already nearly two feet tall, but it had yet to bloom and bear fruit.
Xiang Nan doesn't understand its habits either, so all he can do now is wait slowly.
…
About half a month later, Zhang Jinjiu, the best detective in the world, found Shuiyue Temple.
"Miss Haitang, Yidao Daxia, you guys make it easy for me to find you." He said with a smile while holding the wine jar.
"You are truly worthy of being the best detective in the world. We were able to find you even though we were hiding here. I admire you, I admire you!" Xiang Nan said with admiration.
"I, Zhang Jinjiu, can't do anything else. I only have this ability." Zhang Jinjiu said with a smile while burping.
"What do you have to do with us? Did the Lord God still think Haitang was a traitor, so he sent you to find us?" Xiang Nan asked.
"Of course not. The case that Miss Su Xin lost was solved. It was someone from Dongchang who did it, and Miss Su Xin was also found." Zhang Jinjiu waved his hand and said, "That's why the gods sent me to find you. Let me apologize to you on his behalf and please return to Hulong Villa as soon as possible."
When Haitang heard this, she was immediately excited, "My foster father no longer doubts me?! That's great!"
"If you need to catch up, then rush. If you need to use it, use it. I think we are becoming more and more like dogs chasing bones." Xiang Nan said coldly.
"One knife..." Haitang felt a little harsh when she heard what he said.
Zhang Jinjiu was speechless.
…
Complaints aside, Xiang Nan returned to Hulong Villa with Haitang and Zhang Jinjiu.
"Hero Guihai, three years ago you asked me to help you find out the cause of your father Guihai Bailian's death. Now I have some clues." On the way, Zhang Jinjiu found an opportunity to talk to Xiang Nan.
Three years ago, Guihai spent fifty thousand taels of silver to ask Zhang Jinjiu to help him investigate his father's murder. Zhang Jinjiu has never forgotten this thing over the years.
But it had been eighteen years since Guihai Bailian died, so it was naturally not easy to find out the cause of his death, so after so many years, he finally found some clues.
"Don't pursue this matter any further." Upon hearing this, Xiang Nan waved his hand and said.
He knew how strong Guihai's desire for revenge was. It could be said that even if the person who killed his father was a god, he would not hesitate to swing the knife at him. Now he no longer wants to take revenge. Such a drastic change caught Zhang Jinjiu off guard.
"Both." Xiang Nan nodded.
"This old man is a little curious. Who killed the hero Guihai Bailian back then?" Zhang Jinjiu asked more and more curiously after hearing what he said.
"Don't ask about this matter. The more you know, it may not be a good thing for you. You should just be honest and drink your wine." Xiang waved his hand.
He didn't want to tell anyone the truth about his father's murder.
"Hahahaha, that's right." Zhang Jinjiu said with a smile, "The world is vast when you are drunk, and the sun and moon are long in the pot. It's rare for me to be confused."
…
Back at Hulong Villa, Shenhou comforted Haitang again, saying that he was upset because of his disappearance that day and was too rude, so he angered the innocent Haitang and apologized to her again.
There is no such thing as an overnight feud between father and daughter.
Haitang has always regarded Shen Hou as her father. She was expelled from Hulong Villa that day. Although she was full of grievances, now that Shen Hou has apologized to her, she will naturally not care about it anymore.
The Divine Marquis also awarded her the No. 1 Xuanzi token again, allowing her to return to the ranks of the three secret agents of Hulong Villa.
As for Xiang Nan, who was the No. 1 secret agent in the world and a fifth-level sword-carrying guard in front of the imperial court, he was furious at the fact that he had left work without authorization and neglected his duty. He angrily accused him of having no sense of responsibility and actually left his post without permission, treating the emperor and Hulong Villa as if they were nothing and putting them in danger.
"Once Cao Zhengchun takes action against the emperor at this time, without your protection, the emperor's life will be in danger. Can you bear this responsibility?" Cao Zhengchun scolded.
"You realize your mistake with just one sword, please ask your adoptive father to punish you." Xiang Nan lowered his head and admitted his mistake.
In fact, he didn't think he was wrong. The **** can anger Haitang because of Su Xin's disappearance and expel her from Hulong Villa. Why can't Xiang Nan miss work for Haitang?
Shen Hou just admitted his mistake lightly to Haitang, but got furious at himself, which was too much of a double standard.
However, Xiang Nan doesn't want to fall out with Shenhou yet, because next, when Shenhou and Cao Zhengchun have a head-on conflict, he still wants to stay and watch the show.
If I leave now, it will be no good.
"Father, I was the reason why I failed in my duty." Haitang also quickly pleaded for Xiang Nan, "If you want to punish me, please punish me too."
"That's all, for the sake of Haitang, I'll let you off this time." Shenhou finally nodded and said, "It's just a small punishment but a big warning. I'll fine you half a year's salary. I hope you can learn from it."
"Thank you, foster father." Xiang Nan said with cupped hands.
Half a year's salary is nothing to him. This kind of punishment can be regarded as being lifted high and then dropped gently.
Xiang Nan estimated that this was also related to Shenhou's eagerness to employ people.
The disappearance of Miss Su Xin this time made him know that it was imminent to clean up the East Factory.
Because before Su Xin appeared, he had no weaknesses at all, and no matter what Cao Zhengchun did, he could not threaten him.
Even the four secret agents are nothing more than tools to him. If they die, they will be replaced by another batch. Therefore, Cao Zhengchun has been unable to do anything to him.
But now with Su Xin, everything is different. Cao Zhengchun can completely target Su Xin and attack his weak spots, and he will hit him accurately every time. He will be unable to defend against the key points.
Because there is only one reason to be a thief for a thousand days, but there is no reason to guard against a thief for a thousand days. With one oversight, he may lose the one he loves and be hijacked by others.
Therefore, the cruelty of the next struggle will be several times or even dozens of times that of the past. Under such circumstances, even if Xiang Nan left his post without permission and acted arbitrarily, the gods would have to forgive him.
After all, now is the time to employ people.
