At the beginning, his wife came to him, and he became rich by selling kidney treasures.

"Shiji is not drunk, he is speaking from the heart."

“If Mr. Ren doesn’t mind, then let Shiji become your disciple and do some work for you.” Li Shiji said, shaking his head.

"It's not that I don't want you to enroll in my school, it's that your status is too different from mine. If you enroll in my school, you will definitely be ridiculed and bring shame to the royal family."

"By that time, even if I have nine heads, they will not be enough for the emperor to chop off." Ren Hao sighed and told the truth.

"Well, it seems that the world is so big that there is really no place for Century to try hard." Li Shiji shook his head, showing helplessness.

"Mr. Li, don't be discouraged. The world is so big that you will be of use one day." Ren Hao hurriedly calmed Li Shiji's emotions. After all, it was not yet time for him to appear. According to history, when he entered the court as an official, he was already over 40 years old. By the time he gained power and usurped the Han Dynasty, he was almost old enough to be buried.

"I hope so." Li Shiji nodded and stood up to say goodbye.

Seeing that he had drunk a lot of wine, Ren Hao decided to let him stay in the Ren Mansion to rest for a day and leave the next day.

But Li Shiji insisted on leaving and going back home to see his father.

Before leaving, Li Shiji gave his jade pendant to Ren Hao, telling him that if he had any trouble in the capital in the future he could report the name of their Li family.

After seeing Li Shiji off, when Ren Hao was about to go back to his room to take a nap to sober up, Cai Lun ran over and blocked Ren Hao's way.

"Cai Lun, is there something wrong?" Ren Hao stopped and asked.

"My lord, there are three people outside the door asking to see you. They said they want to enroll in our school." Cai Lun replied truthfully.

"Oh, then take me to see him."

When Ren Hao heard that someone wanted to join his school, he sobered up immediately.

At this time, three middle-aged men were standing outside the mansion.

The men on both sides were big and strong, about 1.9 meters tall, with fierce faces, leopard eyes, foul language and a ruthless look.

The man standing between the two sturdy men had a gentle and handsome face, and had a few pairs of straw sandals on his shoulders.

"Who are you three?" Ren Hao came out of the mansion.

The two strong men next to him looked down on Ren Hao when they saw how young he was. "Go away, who are you, little servant? We want to see the master of your house, not a servant like you."

"That servant is really something. We asked him to call the master, but he called a poor boy instead."

"Second brother, third brother, please don't be rude." The man in the middle glared at the two of them, then stepped forward and said politely to Ren Hao: "Master Ren, please forgive us for any offense we have caused. We heard that there is a school in the mansion that recruits families, so we want to become your disciples and become your teacher."

"May I ask, sir, which schools of thought did you learn from?" Ren Hao asked.

"My name is Liu Min. I am a student of various schools and can teach people how to read and write." Liu Min stepped forward and answered truthfully.

"Since you can teach people to read and write, how could you have fallen to such a state in the capital?" Ren Hao couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

When Liu Min was asked this question, there was a slight hesitation on his face.

But in the end, he still told the truth: "I used to be an official in the court, but because of something I offended the current prime minister, I had to fall to the point of selling straw sandals."

"So that's how it is." Ren Hao nodded.

Liu Min was worried that Ren Hao would not recruit him because he had offended the Prime Minister, so he pushed his brothers out and said, "If the master is not willing to recruit me, you can recruit my two brothers into the mansion as retainers."

"My second brother Chen Fei was once taught by an expert. He is very good at using a gun and can guard the house."

"My third brother Zhang Kuai was born with supernatural strength, and no one can match his bravery."

Liu Min turned his head and winked at the two brothers, asking them to show Ren Haolu a few moves.

But the two brothers refused to do so and said, "Brother, if this guy doesn't dare to recruit you, then what's the point of us being his retainers? It would be better for us to sell shoes and wine together, and we can still make a living there."

"Whatever." Liu Min shook his head helplessly, and then the three of them looked at Ren Hao at the same time.

"Since the three of you have your own abilities, if Ren Hao refuses this time, who will dare to become your disciple in the future?"

"Please come into the house, the three of you. From now on, you will be my people." Ren Hao smiled and stretched out his hand, making a gesture of invitation.

"Thank you very much for taking us in." Liu Min was overjoyed and asked his two brothers to thank Ren Hao quickly.

Compared to selling shoes and alcohol, finding a home is the best thing.

If you have a home, you won’t have to worry about when to go hungry.

Just as Ren Hao was preparing to entertain the three brothers, a servant came running over in a panic: "Master, something terrible has happened. Someone went to our business to cause trouble and smashed the store."

"What about the lady?"

The first thing Ren Hao was concerned about was not the loss of the business, but Xu Yating who stayed in the business.

"The second wife was also kidnapped by that group of people. They also told us not to report to the police or take anyone with us. They also told us to prepare 10,000 taels of silver and go to the Prime Minister's Kiln outside the city." The servant told the truth and then asked worriedly, "Master, what should we do?"

How to do?

Serve cold.

Ren Hao was also suddenly a little panicked. He didn't expect that trouble would come so quickly and caught him off guard.

But for Xu Yating, Ren Hao still prepared 12,000 taels of silver and went to the Prime Minister's Kiln outside the city.

On this trip, Ren Hao brought Hui Lixue, Chen Fei, and Zhang Kuai along.

This so-called Prime Minister's Kiln is actually a pottery kiln.

This pottery kiln was previously a place designated by the government for making pottery, and was also the property of the former prime minister.

So everyone calls it the Prime Minister's Kiln.

But with the death of the former prime minister, the kiln factory was abandoned and became a residence for refugees from outside the city.

Ren Hao and his group were driving five carriages full of silver on the road outside the city, which was particularly eye-catching.

Passers-by and refugees on the road cast their eyes over, or whispered about what was in the box.

Zhang Kuai, who was walking in front and clearing the way, suddenly shouted, "What are you looking at, you birdmen? Believe it or not, I will dig out all your eyes and put them in a box, so that you can have a good look."

When everyone saw Zhang Kuai's burly and ferocious appearance, they didn't dare to look at him any longer.

"Third brother, don't be reckless." Chen Fei immediately scolded Zhang Kuai and became alert to his surroundings.

"Second brother, why was I so reckless? I think these people are all cunning and mean. If I hadn't shouted, I'm afraid that before we even get to the pottery kiln, the silver in the master's box would have been coveted by those people." Zhang Kuai turned around to explain, then looked at Ren Hao beside him and asked, "Master, just tell me if I did the right thing, right?"

"Yes and no." Ren Hao smiled and shook his head.

Although Zhang Kuai's roar could suppress the scoundrels, it also indirectly told everyone that the box contained silver.
