It was two days later when Wang Jinglai replied.

Wang Jing obviously had not had much rest in the past two days and looked much more haggard.

In addition, there was a young man beside him, and Xu Yun guessed that he was his second son.

Wang Jing pulled everyone to greet Xu Yun without looking away - this time, Xu Yun met them in his own study.

There is no picking out the rules between the two of them.

Xu Yun looked at Wang Jing and asked, "What did you find out?"

Wang Jing said: "The first thing is to find out the family background, name, poems and so on, but I can't find out much. This is because many people have been asking for this recently. I have written down the family background and so on."

He handed over a folded piece of paper and pointed to the wooden box in the hands of the young man next to him: "This contains the article."

Wang Jing placed the paper respectfully on the table.

Still, he didn't dare to look at Xu Yun for too long, for fear of offending him.

Xu Yun was not in a hurry to see it, and just asked him what he had found out about the second thing.

Wang Jing whispered back, "There must be something fishy going on. The first family paid a lot of money to get such a good job. But, I didn't expect that the chef of the white case had a problem."

"According to the cook, he suspected someone had tampered with his face."

“So many sides, but none of them are posted well.”

"But it was too late to do anything about it, and there wasn't that much food to waste, so he could only report back to his boss. His boss ordered it to be sent directly to the Imperial Examination Hall."

Xu Yun thought: Indeed, even if the steamed buns are unpalatable, everyone knows that the Imperial Examination is difficult, and not many people would care about this. If you are a little luckier, I am afraid you can really get away with it.

"However, not long after he was sent in, he was reported." Wang Jing continued without stopping: "He was reported directly to the academician and Du Lingyin. They were furious."

Wang Jing said: "I heard that when Du Lingyin was furious, he grabbed a steamed bun and threw it hard in the face of the host, causing the host to bleed from the nose. He also cursed, 'This thing is given to you, do you want to eat it?'"

Xu Yun imagined the scene and felt a little surprised and wanted to laugh for no reason, but he was still moved: I didn't expect Du Lingyin to have such a hot temper? !

"Because of this incident, the two examiners gave a temporary order to change the company to prepare meals between the examinations."

Wang Jing paused for a moment, his tone becoming more serious as he said, "On the day the imperial examination ended, the owner of the second family was taken away. The cook and anyone who had contact with the food were also taken away."

"I guess something went wrong. Or maybe he helped someone cheat? Only in this case would it become so serious."

If it was just greed for money, it wouldn't be this serious.

Xu Yun smiled and said, "It's not helping people cheat, it's poisoning."

Wang Jing almost raised his head, and was so shocked that he was speechless.

Xu Yun continued: "I was the one who was poisoned."

This time, Wang Jing really couldn't help it and looked up at Xu Yun.

He saw Xu Yun was smiling.

The smile doesn't seem to have any other taste, it's really peaceful.

But such a big thing...

Wang Jing thought for a long time before he managed a compliment: "Young lady, you are blessed with great fortune."

"So are you sure you still want to follow me?" This is what Xu Yun really wanted to say. Wang Jing was indeed quite good to have found out so much in just two days.

The most important thing is that Wang Jing did not mention a word about how much money and effort was spent, and he had no intention of taking credit for it or flattering himself.

People who do their job in a down-to-earth manner make people feel comfortable.

You can stay and try it.

Xu Yun's words did make Wang Jing look a little hesitant.

But in the end, Wang Jing still said: "Life is not always smooth. We come to Miss Xu for help, not just for comfort. It is our blessing to be able to help Miss Xu."

He understood that wealth and honor come from risk. Even if he died, it would not be a bad thing for his descendants.

Xu Yun nodded: "Then stay. From today on, you will be in charge of all matters related to the family. There are few people in the family, so it doesn't need to be so complicated for now. I will assign you some staff in the future."

"As for him——" Xu Yun looked at the young man next to him.

Wang Jing immediately said, "This is Wang Li, my second son, who is not married yet. If the young lady doesn't mind, he can be used to run errands and pass messages by your side."

"What about your eldest son and his wife?" Xu Yun asked again without rushing to make a decision.

Wang Jing said: "The eldest couple, one driving the carriage and guarding the yard, and the other boiling water and cooking for the masters, are suitable. They are both honest - as for the old wife, I want her to take care of the children outside."

Xu Yun nodded: "Do you have a house?"

Wang Jing smiled and replied, "Yes, I bought it directly from the court. The price is very reasonable. It is not suitable for us male servants to live here. I think it would be better for us to go back to our own homes to sleep every day and come here to do our work in the morning? It is not far from here. It can be reached in a quarter of an hour at most by foot."

There is no curfew, so even if the masters have instructions in the middle of the night, there is no need to worry about delaying too much.

Seeing that Wang Jing had thought it through, Xu Yun nodded and said, "Okay, let's do this first. You guys come over today and meet the eldest lady of the family. I want to study, and she and Sister Hongyu are the real housekeepers."

Wang Jing didn't expect it to be so easy. He was surprised and happy at once. He pulled Wang Li and saluted Xu Yun.

Xu Yun waved his hand, and then asked him to bring all his family members over.

She took this opportunity to tell Xie Wanqing about this matter.

Xie Wanqing hesitated: "He came here by himself? Maybe..."

Hongyu was also a little worried: "I haven't heard of such a thing. Now is a time like this-"

Thinking about it always makes me feel like there is something wrong.

Xu Yun sat down next to Xie Wanqing and hugged her arm: "That's why I asked you to keep an eye on us. If someone else had planted us, we would have fallen into the trap no matter what we chose. It's better to accept it calmly and keep an eye on us."

Xie Wanqing patted the back of Xu Yun's hand and said, "You are so bold! But what you said makes sense. Instead of having someone rack their brains to send someone here, it is better to just keep him here now. It will make it less likely that we will be careless."

Even if they go to the human traffickers to buy people themselves, they may still be bribed.

On the contrary, after listening to what Xu Yun said, Xie Wanqing felt that it would be better to keep Wang Jing's family, after all, they were really useful.

Xu Yun smiled at Xie Wanqing: "Thank you for your hard work, mother."

Hongyu asked Xu Yun: "What about your side? Chen Ku is an honest child. I am afraid I can't defeat Wang Li. What if Wang Li does something bad——"

"We have all their family deeds in our hands, so we dare not do anything blatant." Xu Yun smiled: "I don't go out now, so there is no need to worry. Let's wait and see."

Not long after, Wang Jing came with his family.

His wife and young son were also brought along.
