The Demon-Slaying Grandmaster

Chapter 59 Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages

Chapter 59 Seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages
When Li Jingxiao heard that the housekeeper wanted to redeem himself, he almost laughed out loud.

When he looked at Eunuch Zhou, this guy's face was extremely gloomy, and his eyes flashed with murderous gleams from time to time, as if he wanted to kill these managers.

As the eunuch in power in the palace, although Eunuch Zhou appears to be kind in front of Li Jingxiao, he is the Inspector General of the Inner Court and is responsible for supervising the inner court.

People who say he is kind have grass three feet high on their graves.

It was not until she noticed Li Jingxiao was looking at her that she closed her eyes, took a few deep breaths, and smiled again.

Seeing this, Dai Quan sighed and shook his head, thinking that even if the lord did not punish these evil servants.

Zhou Yanfu will definitely not let go of these managers who made him lose face.

So Dai Quan didn't care anymore, shook his head and said, "You're asking for your own death, you can't blame anyone else."

After saying that, he looked at Li Jingxiao and thought to himself that this kid was so cunning and understood people's hearts at such a young age.

Could it be that there are really people with extraordinary talents in this world?

However, think about it, if Li Jingxiao was not smart, he would not have been able to master Taoism at such a young age and become so powerful.

Dai Quan waved his hand and said to Eunuch Zhou, "Forget it, it's getting late. If you don't go back to the palace now, you won't be able to enter."

Eunuch Zhou suppressed his anger and nodded, and Li Jingxiao stood up to see him off.

When they arrived at the door, three talismans for exorcising evil spirits quickly appeared from the sleeves of the three eunuchs.

"This is a talisman to ward off evil spirits. Carry it close to your body to keep evil spirits away."

Eunuch Zhou, who was still angry in his heart, immediately smiled brighter.

I just saw with my own eyes that this talisman killed those five evil spirits.

Eunuchs are a group that lacks treasures and believe in supernatural things more than ordinary people.

I heard that in the imperial palace, many eunuchs were secretly worshipping the immortals, namely Hu, Bai, Liu, Huang, and Hui.

Even when entering a palace, the eunuchs would knock on the door first and shout that they were coming in.

I was afraid that it would scare the immortals inside.

Dai Quan and Xia Shouzhong also had smiles on their faces. After expressing their gratitude, they returned to the palace with the guards in satisfaction.

After Li Jingxiao returned, he said to Zhao Junming and Xie Kaishan, "Thank you all for your hard work tonight. Everyone will be rewarded tomorrow.

I have only one request today. To this treacherous slave, you must spit out what you have eaten from me, and return what you have taken from me.

After the investigation is complete, those who are not greedy or possessive will be responsible for assisting you and continuing to maintain the operation of the Bo Mansion, and each person will also be rewarded with a monthly allowance for one year."

Among the more than one hundred servants, the maids, servants and those who had no chance or really did not embezzle, immediately cheered.

Looking at the eyes of the three housekeepers and four members of the Li family, while feeling gloating, a sense of relief suddenly emerged in his heart.

Especially those who had been bullied by these managers in the past, looked at them with ferocious eyes as if they were enemies.

Zhao Junming naturally nodded without hesitation.

Xie Kaishan also clasped his fists and said, "I dare not say it's hard work."

I was thinking to myself, it seems I should be more honest recently.

Moreover, staying away from this gentleman would not only make it harder to fool him, but if he caught you doing something wrong, it would be difficult to resolve the matter based on his current behavior.

Li Jingxiao watched the stewards being escorted by the Jinyiwei and the captains of the Daoluosi to the stewards' homes to confiscate the proceeds of corruption.

Then he entered a room in the front yard, sat down to meditate and nourish the power of thunder and lightning in his body, while waiting for the results.

But less than half an hour later, his ears suddenly moved, and he heard Li Jingxi's voice coming from outside the door.

"Master, is my elder brother asleep?"

Shi Delong, Lin Yi and Liu Hongshi, who had taken care of the altar and instruments, were unable to help with the house search and simply stood guard outside Li Jingxiao's house.

Shi Delong bowed hurriedly and said, "Miss, I don't know if the master has rested." After saying that, he saw Li Jingxi personally holding a tray with a soup bowl on it, and then he smelled the scent of ginseng chicken soup.

I wanted to say, "I'll come back tomorrow," but I couldn't help but choke.

Fortunately, a sound of "come in" was heard from the room.

Shi Delong and Lin Yi hurried to open the door.

Li Jingxi walked into the room with two personal maids, smiling, and saw Li Jingxiao sitting cross-legged on the Arhat bed, meditating with his eyes closed.

He suddenly thought that he had disturbed Li Jingxiao.

"Brother, please forgive me. I didn't know you were meditating and practicing Qi."

Li Jingxiao opened his eyes and waved his hand to lift up Li Jingxi who was about to kneel down.

"Okay, what happened between Big Brother and your father has nothing to do with you and your second and third sisters.

Besides, to be honest, my second uncle didn't do anything wrong to me except not recognizing me as his nephew.

You won’t have to be so careful in the future.”

Li Jingxi has not had a good life in recent years since his father fell ill.

First of all, my parents tend to favor boys over girls.

Secondly, when the master was seriously ill and had no children to rely on, the servants were indeed not as respectful and devoted as before.

After their cousins ​​from Jiangzhou came, their attitude towards the three sisters became worse and worse.

My uncle doesn't care about anything either, so it would be strange if the three sisters could have a good life.

But today, my closest cousin unexpectedly showed up and cured my father's illness.

Although he inherited the title in the end, that was also the will of the emperor and the emperor emeritus.

Even so, the eldest brother allowed his father and his sisters to continue living in the Earl's Mansion, and severely punished the evil servants.

Everyone tends to seek benefits and avoid harm, especially children. Li Jingxi subconsciously wanted to get close to this older brother.

Moreover, the fact that Li Jingxiao could lift the little girl up in the air with just a wave of his hand also made Jingxi extremely curious.

Not to mention, I just saw with my own eyes a ball of black gas flying out from my father's forehead, turning into five black shadows, which were easily destroyed by my eldest brother.

Any girl would subconsciously want to get close to such a powerful and kind big brother.

Li Jingxi felt relieved when he saw his elder brother speaking kindly.

She nodded with a smile and placed the ginseng chicken soup on the small coffee table next to the Luohan bed.

He filled a small bowl with chicken soup and brought it to Li Jingxiao. "Brother, this is the chicken soup I made myself. Please try it and see if it suits your taste."

Li Jingxiao didn't doubt that his cousin would harm him, but he really couldn't think of any reason why she would harm him.

If my second uncle had a son, then there would be a reason, but there are two branches of the Li family in Beijing, and in my generation, there are only three sisters, Jingxi and I.

To put it bluntly, in the future, when the three sisters find a husband and get married, they will have to rely on me to support them so that they can live more comfortably in their husband's family.

Even in the future, they may have to get their own approval on whoever they marry.

Considering the fact that girls in this era generally mature early, it is impossible for Jingxi not to understand this.

However, Li Jingxiao did not really believe his cousin just because of his own judgment.

Some people have no logic or reason when they harm others.

Not even considering the consequences.

And sometimes women can be much more cruel than men.
