Daming: The system rejected my request for salted fish

"Just, just waiting in the front yard. Master, if you don't tell me, I won't dare let them in."

"Come on, take me~over~to see them."

After receiving the order, the servant immediately turned around and led the way.

Wei Wu also took this opportunity to take out a bottle of Coke from the warehouse and drank it.

I had to drink a whole bottle of Coke to finally dispel some of the spiciness.

In the courtyard, Zhang Hai and his ten brothers were staring at the gate.

As soon as he saw Wei Wu appear, he immediately brought a group of people and hurried to him.

Before Wei Wu could speak, these people all knelt on one knee, which stunned Wei Wu.

"Zhang Hai, what are you doing?"

"Master, we brothers are grateful for your kindness. We are just peasants and can only repay you with loyalty."

Wei Wu looked at them with a mixture of laughter and tears, but he also understood that Zhang Hai was right.

The most valuable thing that the poor can give back to the powerful is loyalty.

"Alright, alright, everyone, get up! Remember, kneeling is not allowed in my room. You should bow when you see me from now on."

"From now on, Shen Lin will be the captain, and Zhang Hai will be the vice-captain. However, Shen Lin is recovering from an injury, so Zhang Hai will be the team leader for the time being."

After making arrangements for everyone, Wei Wu turned to look at the servant beside him.

"Take them to the steward. They'll receive double their previous salary each month. The captain and deputy captain will receive triple their salary."

The salary of a small flag officer of the Embroidered Uniform Guard was seven stone of rice per year, which was equivalent to about forty-five taels of silver in cash.

The total amount of these twelve people was only 1,170 taels of silver.

Although it seems like a lot, it is well worth the expense.

These were all Yiluansi who followed Zhu Yuanzhang in the early Ming Dynasty. Their personal abilities were far beyond those of ordinary guards.

Moreover, with Wei Wu's current financial resources, even if he does nothing, he will still have to pay these people their salaries until they die.

Last time, Zhu Yuanzhang rewarded him with 5,000 taels of gold, 30,000 taels of silver, and 50,000 strings of treasure notes.

Tomorrow morning there will be another reward for the title conferment, 5,000 taels of gold, 30,000 taels of silver, and 60,000 strings of treasure notes.

This is just cash, not including the income from the three shops and Meiyan Building, and a total of 4,000 acres of fertile land.

After dealing with the issue of guarding the yard, Wei Wu turned around and walked towards his own yard.

However, as soon as he reached the gate of the courtyard, the hot feeling that made him despair emerged again.

Only then did he suddenly remember that Zhu Yuxuan might still be waiting for him in the room.

Thinking of this, Wei Wu did not step directly into the yard, but instead stuck half of his head out to check.

Seeing Yuxuan, Reba and Liya were in the room, Wei Wu felt relieved and strode in.

After entering the room, I first looked at the table and found that there was only one dumpling left.

And Reba was picking up dumplings and preparing to put them into her mouth, and Wei Wu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It’s a pity that he was happy too early.

As soon as the little girl Reba saw him come in, she immediately came to him with dumplings in her hands.

"Master, please eat. The dumplings made by Sister Yuxuan are so fragrant and delicious."

Reba always likes to seek praise from him, so Wei Wu is not surprised by this behavior.

But in Wei Wu's eyes, the dumpling in front of him, which was as white as jade, was emitting black smoke.

He seemed to see the dumpling emitting black smoke talking to him.

"Eat me~! Eat me~! Give me your soul~!!"

In order to save his soul, Wei Wu immediately wanted to find an excuse to refuse.

However, when he looked up, he saw three little girls, six pairs of eyes staring at him eagerly.

The anticipation in Yuxuan and Reba's eyes was almost overflowing.

"There were over thirty dumplings, and I only ate three. The rest were eaten by them, and I was the only one who got hurt?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible! From a probability perspective, it's impossible for a person to be this unlucky."

People are like this sometimes, unwilling to believe that they will always be the unlucky ones.

Under the influence of this gambler's mentality, Wei Wu forced a smile on his face.

Then he took a big bite of the dumpling.

"..."

Chewing, silent and ultra-high-frequency chewing!

At this moment, Wei Wu retracted his previous thoughts.

"Does attitude matter? It doesn't matter, not at all!! What matters is whether it tastes good or not!!"

That’s right, Wei Wu was killed three times by Zhu Yuxuan. This is another spicy and perverted thing from the Death God Devil.

Now he had only one thought in his mind: as long as he swallowed fast enough, the spiciness would not catch up with him.

But without chewing, food is difficult to swallow.

Time passed slowly, and after swallowing the dumplings with difficulty, Wei Wu's eyes became moist again.

"It's really delicious! I have to attend the morning court tomorrow. I'm going back to my room to sleep."

Wei Wu responded with a forced smile, then quickly returned to the bedroom and huddled under the quilt.

That night, every once in a while, Wei Wu's extremely suppressed cries of grief could be heard from the room!

The pain was like dropping hundreds of incendiary bombs and exploding them at the pass of Mount Fuji.

A huge red fireball slowly emerged from the mountain pass.

The scorching heat burned the area around the mountain pass red, and magma gushed out of the cave.

This state lasted until the 11am hour before it finally showed signs of easing.

However, Wei Wu had no time to rest because he had to attend the morning court today.

I climbed out of the bed tremblingly, and before I could put on my clothes, I saw a bright red stain on the sheets.

In response to this, Wei Wu said that it was nothing, the toilet beside the bed was already half full.

Just at this moment, Reba pushed the door open with a basin of water and saw the bloodstains on the bed.

When he saw Wei Wu's pale, bloodless face again, he was frightened on the spot.

"Master, you, what's wrong with you?"

"Nothing, just a hemorrhoid...I accidentally hurt myself last...night."

Wei Wu didn't want to tell a little girl about the hemorrhoids, so he could only give a perfunctory answer.

After all, how do you put it? Young master, I have hemorrhoids and I was bleeding all night?

After dealing with Reba and washing up briefly, Wei Wu was about to change his clothes.

As soon as I turned around, I heard Reba's terrified cry behind me.

"Ah~!!! Master, what's wrong with you? Master! Someone come quickly! Master is about to die!!!"

What the hell? I'm going to die? How come I didn't know? No one told me!

After complaining in his heart, Wei Wu suddenly turned around and looked, and his whole face turned as black as charcoal.
