The cold-faced man replied, "Half a year."

Manager Zheng said, "Half a year?"

The fat guy interjected, "He doesn't look like someone who's stayed in the Western Regions for half a year. His accent sounds like a foreigner who just entered the city!"

Manager Zheng nodded. He felt the same in his heart.

Tall and thin. His aura was cold and merciless.

The people of Central Plains who had just arrived in the Western Regions knew martial arts …

These characteristics were all very consistent!

Manager Zheng muttered to himself for a while before saying, "Zhang Xiu, right? You don't need to queue up! "

The cold-faced man asked, "Why?"

Chief Steward Zheng said, "From what I see, you don't seem like someone who's used to people around you."

The cold-faced man said: "Don't tell me we have to look at the appearance of the family guards?"

"Humph!" If this manager says you are not suitable, then you are not. Your name is Zhang Xiu, right? In short, you don't have to queue up. This manager will remove your name from the name scroll! " Manager Zheng said angrily.

"Zhang Xiu is somewhat unwilling to accept this. He is fighting for the Royal Mansion's recruitment to be fair in terms of competition." "Why did you want to eliminate me from my name card before I even participate in the primary stage?"

Zhang Xiu?

Xiu, Xiu, Nangong Xiu? The person that the Prince was talking about seemed to be called Nangong Xiu.

From the looks of it, it seemed even more suspicious.

Manager Zheng said, "This manager says that as long as you pass, you pass. As long as this manager says that you don't pass, you don't pass." In short, there's no need to say anymore, you've lost! "

This man called Zhang Xiu was extremely angry. Wasn't this person, the head steward, way too unreasonable? No matter what, if he didn't even give a chance to others, wasn't that the exact opposite of the Royal House's goal of fair recruitment?

Manager Zheng left with a flick of his sleeve.

The fat guy quickly caught up with them. Director Zheng, Manager Zheng, please wait.

Steward Zheng said, "Is there anything else you need?"

The fat man said, "It's like this. "Manager Zheng, if you can make things easier for me, then this one will be forever grateful and will remember your great kindness for the rest of my life. This is just a small matter, and I don't respect you at all. I hope you can grant my wish."

After saying that, the fat guy took out 5 or 2 servings of Snowflake Silver from his bosom.

Manager Zheng weighed the silver, his expression unreadable.

His meaning was very clear.

You want to bribe me?

Yes.

But isn't five taels of silver a bit too shabby?

If you really know what's good for you, then you should know what to do!

How could the fat guy not understand? Laughing steward of the Dao, you see, I am just a laborer, how can I have a lot of silver as a form of filial piety? If the steward was able to do something convenient, there would naturally be many times when he could be filial to the steward. Moreover, this young one is a local, and is very sincere. I'm not like those outsiders who are cunning, and I don't know what they are planning to do.

Are you from here?

The fatty's words had obviously hit the mark on Manager Zheng's heart.

What he was worried about the most was Nangong Xiu sneaking in.

Therefore, he was very wary of these outsiders. If he was a local, there was no need for him to be so cautious.

The fat guy said respectfully, "This little one is a proper local!"

Manager Zheng said, "But they don't look very similar!"

Fatty Yang said, "This young one's ancestry belongs to Mo Bei. When I was young, I already moved to the Western Regions to live there. My family has been working for rich families for generations!"

Manager Zheng nodded. "No wonder!" "You don't look like you're from the Western Regions, but your Western Language is very good. You shouldn't be a newcomer!"

Fatty Yang said, "Chief Steward is wise."

Steward Zheng was stunned for a moment before he said, "Then it'll be you!" Come with me to the prince's mansion. First, register the information regarding the next household and then change your clothes. "

Fatty Yang said, "Thank you, Manager Zheng! "Thank you!"

Manager Zheng said, "Go on." "Don't delay the other workers' primary elections."

"Yes!" "Yes!"

The fat guy left happily.

Manager Zheng was relieved.

Just in time to pull that suspicious fellow out from the crowd and kick him away, the task given by the prince was finally completed. And this way, they could avoid a direct confrontation with the wangfei. Doing things well without offending the princess, this could be considered the perfect ending.

Manager Zheng wasn't too concerned about the remaining preliminaries. Anyhow, the suspect had already been solved.

Looking at those people coming in one by one for the interview and then leaving one by one, Jing Jing Jing secretly muttered in her heart: "How did I, the brother-in-law, do it? It had been half a day, but he still hadn't shown himself? If that's the case, then the following matter will be difficult to handle! "

"AHH!" Help! So painful! You're going to beat people to death! "

Another person howled miserably after being beaten and was carried away by someone else.

"Sigh!"

"Why are these people so useless?"

"Nangong Xiu, where exactly are you?"

"Are you coming or not?"

Jing Jing looked at the portrait in her hand, she looked at those family servants who were rejected one by one, she started to worry a little in her heart …

Back then, he had watched Manager Zheng walk around outside. Could it be that he had kicked Nangong Xiu away?

Looking at the "crooked melon and split jujube" in front of her eyes, they were not much like her charming, handsome, and overbearing brother-in-law …

Jingjing sighed, thinking that this Manager Zheng didn't know what was going on.

Ever since he had wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and returned, he had become absent-minded.

Shaoyan was holding an unknown blue book in her hand, and she was gesturing while she read it.

He was probably reading some martial arts manual.

Jing Jing was also bored as she looked at these men who were 'troubled' by her specially invited men, those people who were lolling about, supporting their chins in low spirits.

Manqing was fanning the wind beside her with all her might.

Jing Jing's gaze couldn't help but turn towards Manager Zheng …

No matter how one looked at it, it seemed that the reason why he was so confident was because he was confident.

Had he already thought of a way to prevent Nangong Xiu from coming in?

Or … Could something have happened while he was out?

Jing Jing looked over with a face full of worry, she immediately jumped up.

He said to Man Qing, "Go, invite Manager Zheng over!"

Manqing nodded and walked over.

The two of them seemed to have quarreled for a while. After a while, Man Qing came over with Manager Zheng.

He faced the heart of Jingjing. Although his expression could still be considered respectful and cautious, it was still a bit arrogant.

"I wonder if esteemed wangfei has any business with your subordinate?"

Jingjing looked at him and said, "Why are you reading now?"

As he spoke, he reached out to snatch Manager Zheng's book. With a glance, he saw that it was the name of the servant.

Jing Jing knitted her eyebrows in surprise.

With a fake cough, he looked at Manager Zheng and said, "You must check this out properly. You must not let Nangong Xiu break in. Do you understand?"

Steward Zheng nodded. "Esteemed wangfei, don't worry. This one has already chased him away."

"What?" Jing Jing stood up in shock, she looked at Manager Zheng in disbelief.

Manager Zheng looked at Jingjing's expression and couldn't help but nod his head. He said, "That's right, I've found a suspicious looking man outside. I've chased him away, don't worry, wangfei!"

Finished speaking, he bowed deeply and looked at Jingjing with a serious expression.

Jing Jing said angrily, "How can I not worry?"

Her face alternated between green and white as she became extremely angry.

However, it was difficult to display it in public.

If others were to find out anything about it, it would raise the suspicion of others even more.

Especially since Ling'er was still at the Duke's Mansion, she absolutely should not be sitting around doing such a foolish thing.

Manager Zheng saw the change in Jingjing's expression. Although he was puzzled, he thought it was because she wasn't happy with his decision he made so easily.

However, she didn't think too much and only said, "Princess, don't worry. If anything happens next, this little one will definitely report it to you."

Jing Jing was helpless, she could only nod her head and give up.

He sat back down.

She drank a cup of tea ruthlessly. She consoled herself by thinking that perhaps Nangong Xiu might not be the person he was talking about.

Even if that was the case, perhaps he would return.

It wasn't just a matter of one or two days, but a period of time.

By then, Nangong Xiu would definitely find a way to sneak in.

It depends on what time it is.

She absolutely believed that Senior Sister's man wouldn't be so bad.

However, in the first round, it was impossible for him to be chased away before he even met Jingjing.

Thinking like this, Jingjing's heart finally felt a little better.

Perhaps, Nangong Xiu had appeared in the most unexpected way.

Perhaps, among the people in the courtyard fighting the big man that he borrowed from General Xiahou, one of them was Nangong Xiu in disguise.

Perhaps one of them was from Nangong Xiu and had already snuck in.

Although this possibility … Very few.

Jing Jing looked worriedly at Manager Zheng. She knew that someone who was willing to trust someone as cautious as Li Yue was definitely not a simple person.

So Manager Zheng was so sure, maybe … The person who had been kicked out was none other than Nangong Xiu.

Although Jingjing was unwilling to admit this fact.

Thinking to this point, Jing Jing felt that Manager Zheng was even more unsightly to her.

However, although this person looked cold, he didn't seem to have any flaws in his way of doing things.

As such, Jingjing could not find any loopholes for her to exploit.

If that was the case, it was really quite depressing.

He could not release the fire in his heart.

While Jingjing was secretly vexed over the matter.

Suddenly, he saw a loathsome fatty walk in before him while shouting loudly.

Although his clothes were cleaner than the beggar's, to be honest, Jingjing just looked at him and felt that he was annoying.

How should he put it?

Watching on, he really wanted to beat this person up.

Jing Jing, who was originally in a bad mood, became even more depressed when she saw the oily look on his face.

He waved to Manager Zheng and said, "Who are you choosing in this primary selection? How did such a person get in? "

Steward Zheng turned to look at the fatty. "Esteemed wangfei said this person?"

Jing Jing nodded her head: "Seeing that his lower body is unstable and his walking speed is unsteady, such a person definitely doesn't know martial arts. Tell me, how can he be a bodyguard of the Prince's Mansion?"

Steward Zheng glanced at Jingjing and said, "Esteemed wangfei's words are wrong."

"Hmm?" Facing Manager Zheng's direct rebuttal, Jingjing clearly had an unhappy expression.

Manager Zheng continued, "Although this person does not know martial arts, he is more flexible and knows how to fight!"

"Hmm? How do you know? " Jing Jing asked.
