"Thank you, Mine Patrol Officer, for your cultivation!"

Xu Lian expressed his gratitude.

In fact, even if he didn't want to join the Yi religion, he didn't dare to refuse directly... He still understood the principle of knowing the times.

Seeing the white fox turn around and leave, Xu Lian hurriedly said, "I have something else to report."

The white fox stopped and asked, "What's the matter?"

"This morning, Han Du and Pei Heng, the eldest son of the Pei family, invited me to go to Lichunfang to listen to music. During the time, Pei Heng gave me a house and asked me to help arrange a meeting with the mine inspector."

Xu Lian took out the house deed and "betrayed" Han Du and Pei Heng without hesitation.

Green Bamboo Town is the territory of the Yi Sect, and anything that happens may be under the eyes and ears of the Yi Sect. Instead of lying and concealing things, it is better to tell the truth, so that he can show his sincerity... and gain trust.

Bai Hu glanced at the deed in Xu Lian's hand and snorted, "The Pei family is really thoughtful. They used their connections to get you here."

Xu Lian said, "I am helpless too... Because I used to work for Han Du, I couldn't refuse him in person, so I had to accept the deed."

Bai Hu said casually, "It's just a house. Just accept it if I give it to you. You don't need to make an appointment with me. You can tell Pei Heng that the head of the Pei family has already been decided as the next mayor. There's no need to waste your time."

There was a pause.

White Fox said, "You can also say that after all your efforts, you were able to ask for my help to make the head of the Pei family the next mayor. If you say that, the Pei family will definitely reward you handsomely, and it will not just be a house."

"..." Xu Lian's eyes widened. This White Fox Mine Patrolman was quite "evil-hearted"... It became clear after thinking about it. How could he be a simple person who could sit in the position of Mine Patrolman and be in charge of all the mines in Luzhu Town

There are no simple people in this world, because simple people have long died out.

"If you need any help in the future, please focus your mind on this jade token and I will know what's going on."

The white fox raised its little paw, and as it flipped it, a purple jade token appeared. It threw it to Xu Lian, then turned around and jumped out of the window, turning into a white shadow and disappearing into the jungle.

Xu Lian took the purple jade plate and saw an image of a white fox engraved on it. He wondered what the meaning was.

"Manager Xu, it's time to get off work."

Pu Lin knocked on the door.

Xu Lian glanced at the sky outside the window. It was getting a little dark. He opened the door and went out. "Call it a day, open the warehouse and stockpile the grain!"

The miners, who had been impatient for a long time, swarmed over the mountains and began to line up for food.

After the miners received their food and left, Zhang Yuan looked at Xu Lian expectantly and said, "Brother Lian, are you going to give out meat today?"

"It's not like I haven't paid you a monthly salary, how can I give you meat every day? Do you think the mine is owned by my family?"

Xu Lian hung a bundle of dry firewood on the horse's back, took out a bundle from the stone house, climbed on the horse, and left the mine.

In his bag, besides the things he bought at the market, there was also a bottle of blood from a bandit and some meat from the kitchen... This was his privilege as a manager, as an overseer did not receive such treatment.

Although the higher-ups don't care much about the mine's expenses, they can't be too outrageous. If they give meat to the supervisors every day, there will definitely be big loopholes in the expenses, which will be difficult to explain.

"Xu Hei."

Zhang Yuan muttered something, then got on Yang Ye's black donkey cart with Pu Lin and Lin Bufeng.

Xu Lian is very rich now, and this is something everyone knows. This is because other mines have fifteen supervisors, but Xu Lian's mine has only four supervisors, and there are still eleven vacancies for supervisors. Where did all the idle salaries go

It goes without saying that Xu Lian must have put the money into his own pocket.

Many people wanted to be supervisors, but Xu Lian refused to give them the job, so some people secretly called him "Xu Hei".

"Sister Xiya, pack up your belongings and prepare to move. We have a new place to live."

After returning home, Xu Lian took out the house deed and handed it to Li Xiya.

Wang Cuiyun took it first and looked at the title deed carefully. Her old face was squeezed into a smile. "This is the house on Xinjie Street. The location is also the best."

"This is the house given by Pei Heng, the eldest son of the Pei family."

Xu Lian said casually, urging, "Stop looking, and pack up your belongings quickly.

Wang Cuiyun carefully folded the property deed and said, "There's not much to pack, just two quilts and some pots and pans."

Then, she reacted and exclaimed, "Ah!" She was surprised and asked, "You have established a relationship with the Pei family, one of the three largest families?"

"What do you mean I have a relationship with the Pei family? The eldest young master of the Pei family asked me to do something for him."

It was rare for Xu Lian to pretend.

Wang Cuiyun just laughed and didn't point it out, "My Lord is right."

The four of them worked together and quickly finished cleaning up the mess. The family was too poor and they had too few belongings.

Xu Lian tied all his belongings to the horse and led the horse away. Wang Cuiyun, Li Xiya and Yang Chaner followed him with their heads wrapped in clothes.

It was dark that day and the road was quiet and deserted.

Yang Chan'er grabbed Xu Lian's sleeve with her little hand, her face nervous, "What if we encounter robbers? How about we wait until tomorrow night to move and ask my father to come and help."

"Don't be afraid. I'm very good at fighting with a knife."

Wang Cuiyun comforted Yang Chaner. She had seen Xu Lian fight with a strong man with a knife, and he won. "I guess your promotion is also related to your knife fighting skills. Master, am I right?"

"That's right."

Xu Lian was a little surprised. Although Wang Cuiyun's guess was not completely accurate, it was almost right. If he was not a warrior, it would be impossible for him to be cultivated by the mine patroller.

The Old Street is not far from the New Street, and I didn’t encounter any robbers along the way.

Even homeless villains who make a living by robbing people don't dare to walk around at night. They may find a place to hide. Once the night watchman appears, they will not be able to hide even if they want to.

“That’s the one.”

Xu Lian compared the address written on the title deed and found the house that belonged to him.

The people living in this area are all wealthy, and their houses are brightly lit. Only his house is dark inside, so it is easy to find.

"You gave me the title deed but forgot to give me the key. Master Pei is really careless."

Looking at the iron lock hanging on the gate, he was a little speechless. He reached out and grabbed the iron lock, twisted it hard, and it opened with a "click"... Great force works miracles.

The three were a little surprised, but didn't say anything. They probably thought that the iron lock was rusty and easy to open.

Xu Lian opened the door and led the horse in.

After the three people came in, he closed the door.

"This house is very clean. Someone must clean it regularly."

Wang Cuiyun rushed into the house impatiently, her face beaming with joy, "The beds, tables and chairs are all complete. The houses given by wealthy families are really different."

Xu Lian was also very satisfied. Although Pei Heng forgot to give him the key, judging from the exquisite furnishings of the house, the house was very sincere and he could move in right away.

"Let's cook."

He took down the dry firewood and pots and pans hanging on the horse and moved them into the kitchen, where he found it full of firewood and all kinds of kitchen utensils, all new.

Wang Cuiyun happily began to cook, "Grandpa really makes our family better every day. I will live a comfortable life for the rest of my life."
