Chapter 4221 4223 [When Hiring 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 specially 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.

"Why, are you thinking about it, Hero Guihai, or do you already know the truth?" Zhang Jinjiu asked curiously.

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, the Goddess 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 god also awarded her the No. 1 Xuanzi token again, allowing her to return to the list of the three secret agents of Hulong Villa.

As for Xiang Nan, who was the No. 1 secret agent of the land and a fifth-grade 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 duties. 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 god can anger Haitang because of Su Xin's disappearance and expel her from Hulong Villa. Why can't Xiang Nan miss work for Begonia?

Shen Hou just admitted his mistake to Haitang in an understatement, 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.

"Adoptive father, the knife was all my fault." Haitang also hurriedly pleaded for Xiang Nan, "If you want to punish, please punish me too."

"Forget it, for Haitang's sake, I will spare you this time." Shen Hou finally nodded, "But it's a small punishment, a big warning, I will fine you half a year's salary, I hope you can learn from it."

"Thank you, adoptive father." Xiang Nan said with a bow.

Half a year's salary, for him, is nothing. Such a punishment can be regarded as a high raise and a light fall.

Xiang Nan estimated that this is also related to Shen Hou's eagerness to use people.

The disappearance of Miss Su Xin this time made him know that it was urgent to clean up the East Factory.

Because before Su Xin appeared, he had no weaknesses at all, no matter what tricks Cao Zhengchun used, he could not threaten him.

Even the four major spies were just tools for him, and he would just replace them if they died. That's why Cao Zhengchun couldn't do anything to him.

But now with Su Xin, everything is different. Cao Zhengchun can completely target Su Xin and attack his weak spot, and he will be able to hit him accurately. The key is that he will be unable to defend himself.

Because there is only a principle of being a thief for a thousand days, but there is no principle of guarding against thieves for a thousand days. One negligence may cause him to lose his loved ones and be held hostage by others.

Therefore, the cruelty of the next struggle will be several times or even dozens of times that of the past. In this case, even if Xiang Nan leaves his post without permission and acts arbitrarily, Shen Hou will have to forgive him.

After all, now is the time to use people.
