chapter 12 spy

Silan Nikt carried a large bag of things on his back, left Zhenbao Tower, and returned to Wu Mu Mansion.

At this moment, Wu Mu's Mansion was already overcrowded. This time, Jorvin Nikt recruited more than a hundred people, including servants, maids, housekeepers, and so on. There were about a hundred people in total.

The daily expenses were estimated to be at least several thousand taels of silver, and Jorvin Nikt had to bite the bullet.

For those who were selected, Jorvin Nikt began to arrange the work, weeding and weeding, repairing the building, tidying up the house and starting to renovate it.

Everyone is busy in full swing, and various rumors are now circulating in the outside world, saying that Arven Nikt has reached the martial spirit realm and will regain his glory this time.

Some people say that the Wu Mu Mansion is a bluff, just for others to see. They have no property of their own, so they have gathered so many people to see how they will explain and what they will do to feed these people.

Just three meals a day is a big problem. Recruiting people, taking care of food, drinking, sleeping, etc. are all expenses.

Looking at the renovated yard, Silan Nikt put down the package and went to find his father.

"Master, it's not that we are unreasonable. It's normal for us people to spend our wages and go out to buy something after working for a day!"

Everyone had been busy for a day, and some of them were so tired that they were covered in stinky sweat. They planned to spend some money and go out to buy a few sets of clothes. This suddenly stumped Jorvin Nikt.

"You are granting me two days' grace. I am short of money right now and all my funds are tied up outside. I can get them back right away."

Jorvin Nikt had a slight sweat on his forehead. This matter was very difficult. If it was not handled well, these people would definitely not let it go.

They would even go out and spread rumors, saying that Wu Mu Mansion has no money at all and is recruiting workers aggressively. Isn't it a lie?

"Master, you won't tell us that Wu Mu Mansion can't even get the minimum wage!"

In the afternoon, some materials were used to repair the house on credit. It was all for the sake of Wu Mu Mansion. If the money could not be paid today, it is estimated that these creditors would come to visit.

Everyone said something to each other, but Jorvin Nikt had no way to answer. He just did what Silan Nikt wanted.

"How come our Wu Mu Mansion owes you money? You are overthinking it. How could you ask your employer for money on the first day of work?"

Marigold came out and complained for Lin He. Among these people, there must be people from the Prime Minister's Mansion who deliberately caused trouble. Marigold just took notes.

"Oh, if it was the previous Wu Mu Mansion, we wouldn't be in a hurry, but it's different now. Who knows if you can still come up with the money? I guess it's a problem for you to feed yourself."

From the crowd, a man with pointed ears and monkey cheeks walked out, holding a hoe in his hand and his nostrils turned upward.

Sure enough, after someone took the lead, everyone came forward to ask for wages.

"That's right, I have to get money today!"

Someone was booing in the crowd, about a hundred people in total. Many of them were hesitant at first, so they asked these people to take the lead and follow suit.

"We only need today's wages. Once we get it, we will leave and never come back again. Wu Mu Mansion no longer lives up to its name!"

The man with pointed ears and monkey cheeks became more and more enthusiastic as he spoke, spitting foam flying everywhere and almost hitting Jorvin Nikt's face.

"Marigold, isn't Silan Nikt back yet?"

Jorvin Nikt He couldn't stand it anymore. Silan Nikt left in the morning and hasn't come back yet. Has he thought of a way to alleviate the crisis at hand?

"No, but I should be back soon!"

Marigold was also very anxious, but there was nothing she could do about it. Now that things had reached this stage, she could only go on bravely.

"Everyone, please be quiet. Listen to me. There has never been any arrears of wages in Wu Mu Mansion. Don't worry, everyone. When things are smoothed out in the past two days, I will ensure that everyone of you will get your wages."

Jorvin Nikt began to comfort him, hoping everyone would understand. After all, Lin Xiao had only been back for a day.

"I don't care, I want my wages today!"

Jorvin Nikt He's words still had some effect. Those who came to work sincerely were certainly no less than a day or two away. The Wu Mu Mansion was famous for being upright and would not owe anyone a penny.

There were only two or three people who kept fanning the flames, and Jorvin Nikt could tell that they were not here to do work at all, but to cause trouble.

"Yes, I need wages!"

Several other people joined in the fun and shouted loudly, hoping that everyone outside could hear it.

"Sir, I heard that Wu Mu Mansion has no industry and no source of income. Isn't it true that there is no money?"

An old woman in her forties came up at this time and asked Jorvin Nikt.

"Auntie, no, our Wu Mu Mansion will not owe anyone wages!"

Jorvin Nikt answered very politely, without any airs.

"Since the Wu Mu Mansion can't get the wages, then we'll take things and smash it up. We'll fix it anyway!"

The man with pointed ears and monkey cheeks picked up the hoe in his hand and was about to start smashing things and destroying the newly repaired environment here.

"stop!"

At this time, a cold shout appeared, and Silan Nikt walked in from the outside with a gloomy face. He saw everything that happened just now.

"Brother, you are finally back!"

Marigold walked over and whispered to Silan Nikt.

"Well, I know everything about what happened just now. Just leave it to me."

Silan Nikt gave his father and Marigold a reassuring look, telling them not to worry.

"Silan Nikt, what's the use of you coming back? Get the money quickly!"

The cold shout just now startled him, and he continued to jump at this time.

"You were sent by Therel Nobel, right?"

Silan Nikt asked with a smile. When Therel Nobel was mentioned, the man's body trembled. It seemed that Silan Nikt had guessed it right.

"Don't worry, everyone. We just did this on purpose to see how loyal everyone is to our Wu Mu Mansion and to remove some moths. Now that it's clear, I'll pay everyone their wages."

Silan Nikt took out a stack of silver notes. The two hundred thousand silver notes given by Miss Viola were exchanged for one thousand taels, five hundred taels, one hundred taels, or a hundred taels.

Seeing so many banknotes, everyone felt relieved. There were only a few people who looked very unhappy.

"Should I kick you out, or should you get out on your own!"

Silan Nikt glanced at the people who were dancing the most happily and said coldly.

The four of them looked at each other, and it seemed that they could no longer hide it. They glared at Silan Nikt fiercely, and left in despair. There was no need to stay, as it would definitely be embarrassing.

The stack of banknotes just now was worth hundreds of thousands at least. Silan Nikt took it out easily, and Wu Mu Mansion didn't have to worry about it for a month.

Of course, the most shocked person was Jorvin Nikt. Silan Nikt went out and got back 200,000 yuan in banknotes. His father could no longer understand Silan Nikt.

Marigold was very happy, holding Silan Nikt's arm and preparing to cook a lot of delicious food for them in the evening.

"Master, I'm sorry just now. We were also deceived by others to do things like asking for wages. We are relieved and can work here with peace of mind from now on."

Some people came out and were not prepared to ask for money. The Wu Mu Mansion was not short of money at all. As Silan Nikt said just now, he just wanted to use this opportunity to eliminate some spies.
