The Ming Dynasty's henchmen, working from nine to five

Chapter 28 Your eye for talent is superb.

Qin Erniu slowly turned his head and saw that the person who came was Shen Lang. His eyes began to refocus.

However, before he could speak, a gray-feathered, red-tailed parrot suddenly flew out from behind him.

It fluttered its wings and landed on Shen Lang's shoulder, elegantly tucking its feathers into its beak.

"Good evening, Mr. Shen. It's been a long time."

"So the acquaintance you were talking about is Erniu."

Shen Lang suddenly realized.

He patted the parrot's head, then turned to see Qin Erniu still looking dazed. He called out again:

"Erniu?"

"What's wrong with you?"

Qin Erniu pointed at Sang Biao and slowly said, "Today, it almost killed me!"

Sang Biao glanced at him, shook his head, and jumped to the other side of Shen Lang's shoulder.

Looking at Qin Erniu's grief-stricken expression and gritted teeth, Shen Lang immediately understood everything.

"Let's go home first."

He patted Erniu on the shoulder, everything was understood without words.

......

[Check-in successful! Eight hours worked today, skill point +1!]

Despite the extremely harsh working environment, you remained dedicated and responsible, demonstrating admirable professional ethics. Skill points +10!

[Current remaining skill points: 245]

"10 skill points?"

As soon as he entered the house, the daily settlement message echoed in Shen Lang's mind.

"It seems this case is quite complicated."

Although the system often malfunctions, it is always serious and objective in its evaluation and settlement processes.

The fact that he was given so many skill points indicates that the "job" he is currently doing is extremely difficult.

It served as a reminder to him that he should be extra careful in the future.

Shen Lang put aside his thoughts and carried two large bags of high-quality feed that he had just bought on the way to the stable.

He filled the trough, patted Jiaojiao's neck, and said with a smile, "Eat up!"

Jiaojiao affectionately nudged his hand, then buried her head and began to eat heartily.

At that moment, Sang Biao flew over.

It landed on the crossbar of the stable, its tiny eyes, no bigger than grains of rice, darting around.

"Boss Shen."

Looking at the white horse grazing, it suddenly said in a deep voice, "You bought a car?"

Shen Lang chuckled and flicked its head: "Where did this carriage come from? You don't even recognize a horse?"

Sang Biao turned his head away from his fingers, spread his wings, and said unhappily:

"You know, I don't like watching Animal World."

"Boss Shen, your horse is quite good, it runs very fast."

"How much did you pay for it? I want one too!"

"It was a gift from Princess Changning."

Upon hearing this, Sang Biao's eyes darted around so fast they were almost blurry: "Princess Changning..."

"Is that the beautiful girl I saw this morning, with big breasts, a slim waist, and a big butt?"

"Mr. Shen, you have excellent taste."

Shen Lang warned, "Don't say these things in front of outsiders."

"If you anger the princess, you'll be stewed; I can't save you."

Sang Biao tilted his head back and blew a rascal's whistle, then twisted his body disdainfully.

"Princess Changning is so generous!"

"This must be Feiyunbai, such a valuable horse, given away so easily!"

Qin Erniu lifted the curtain and came out from the inner room.

After returning home, he finally regained some of his energy, and his expression became much more lively.

He gazed at the magnificent white horse, his eyes filled with envy.

Shen Lang nodded almost imperceptibly: "The princess... is indeed very generous."

"What's wrong with you? Why do you look so tired?"

"It's all because of this!"

Qin Erniu pointed at Sang Biao with his finger, and said with great sorrow:

"At midday, I was feeding the elephants when this crazy bird suddenly appeared, yelling loudly!"

"It just so happens that Lord Yan Zheng came to discuss matters with Commander Jin Chuan."

"Upon seeing him, it immediately shouted, 'Isn't that the hairless braised egg? What's he doing here instead of going to work?'"

"You didn't see what happened; everyone turned to look at me..."

Qin Erniu looked pained, his features contorted.

Shen Lang couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Although Sang Biao has a sharp tongue, his nickname is quite fitting.

This Commander Yan Zheng, I don't know what kind of kung fu he practiced, because he didn't have a single hair on his head.

No beard, no eyelashes, no eyebrows.

From a distance, isn't it just a hairless braised egg?

With a smile, Shen Lang asked, "Did he punish you?"

Qin Erniu sighed: "Lord Yan Zheng knew Sang Biao and was a little angry, but he didn't bother with it."

"But this crazy bird, oblivious to its own mortality, turned around and started cursing Commander Jin Chuan!"

"It wandered around the elephant stables, then came back and said that Commander Jin Chuan was bullying his employees, and incited his colleagues to sue Commander Jin Chuan, saying they wanted him kicked out of the Embroidered Uniform Guard!"

"It even flew onto Commander Jin Chuan's face and called him a complete idiot..."

The past is too painful to recall, and Qin Erniu once again donned the mask of pain.

"It's only because Commander Jin Chuan didn't understand that I would have lost my head this time!"

Qin Erniu became more and more excited as he spoke, grabbing Shen Lang's arm tightly:

"Brother, please release it back into the wild, or you can release me too!"

"I really can't take it anymore!"

A look of despair crossed Qin Erniu's eyes: "Now it knows where I work. What am I going to do?"

"It's alright, don't panic."

Shen Lang comforted him, "From now on, I will carry it with me every day so that it won't bother you anymore."

Sang Biao tilted his head, took small, quick steps, and ran over from the other side of the railing, shouting at Qin Erniu:

"Qin Lao Er, you can't escape. I know where you work!"

"If you dare slack off during work hours, I'll get you right now!"

"Do you understand, or not?!"

"Stop being so noisy. Go inside and play by yourself for a while."

Shen Lang grabbed the wings, threw Sang Biao into the inner room, then closed the door and rubbed his temples.

Since transmigrating, this grey parrot has become more and more eccentric, and its tongue has become increasingly fluent.

He even suspected that this thing might be bound to some strange system like him, and if things continued like this, it probably wouldn't be long before it turned into a monster!

The grey parrot was locked up, and the world suddenly became quiet.

Shen Lang then asked, "And then, did Commander Jin Chuan torture you?"

Qin Erniu shook his head and said, "No, he punished me by making me clean up the elephant enclosure."

"I think it's probably because Lord Yan Zheng was there that Commander Qianhu couldn't get angry, which is why he let me off the hook."

"Brother Lang, do you think he's planning to deal with me slowly later?"

Shen Lang said, "How could a commander of the Imperial Guards lack such magnanimity?"

"Besides, he doesn't understand what Sang Biao is saying. As long as you stay calm, nothing will happen."

Qin Erniu nodded repeatedly, breathing a sigh of relief.

Seeing his pale face and bluish-purple lips, Shen Lang frowned and said:

"Cleaning the elephant enclosure isn't hard work, how come you're so exhausted?"

Qin Erniu scratched his head and said, "It's probably from practicing martial arts this morning."

"I've always been unable to develop internal strength, so this morning, Lord Qianhu took a look at me and even personally combed through my meridians and energy channels."
