Shenheju is the largest inn in Yicheng, and it is also the most luxurious. It is also an property of Prince Ning's Mansion, so as soon as Wang Guanlan entered Yicheng, he occupied the largest courtyard of this inn.

There is no other way, who asked him to bring so many people?

In the past few days, Shenheju was very lively outside, but it was very deserted inside, because after the fourteenth young master of the royal family entered Yicheng, he saw no one and did nothing. Oh, I was wrong, he did something

The thing is to hang the body.

He stayed in the inn and didn't know what he was doing.

Although he did not show up or say a word, the pressure he brought to Yicheng was obvious. The identities of the nineteen corpses hanging on the city wall were ignored. No one who knew the identity was silent. That was the third generation.

The personal bodyguards and concubines of the prince were hung to dry like this. This was a slap in the face. A concubine of the prince's palace dared to slap the face of the prince's prince in such a public manner, which subverted ordinary people's cognition. However, they could not

I don’t admit it, but now Wang Guanlan does have the capital to challenge the third prince, especially when the truth is on his side. The fifth girl is the concubine of the third prince, but at the same time, she is also the assassin who assassinated Wang Guanlan.

As the palace's spokesman in Yicheng, Wang Guanlan had enough reasons and authority to do so. Next, it would depend on the reaction of the third prince.

Surprisingly, in the past three days, the third prince of the palace, who was always known for his strength, did not react much. Although there were some small moves secretly, they were not intense. On the contrary, last night, the third prince was silent for three days and gave Yicheng

The Fourteenth Young Master, who was under endless pressure, finally moved.

The hall of Shenheju Jinjuyuan is currently immersed in a strange calm.

Wang Guanlan sat on the Grand Master's chair in the hall, slowly looking through the account in his hand. Wang Qing was waiting beside him, Tian Cheng and Tian Ning were standing behind him, and Prince Ning's Mansion headed by Hou Zihan was standing there.

There were ten people in charge of various industries in Yicheng, standing in front of him, bowing slightly, waiting for his words.

Wang Guanlan's attitude seemed to be very serious and careful. He flipped through the pages of the account book and read each page very seriously. From time to time, he would nod or shake his head. Every movement could trigger the following...

The person in charge's heart was twitching.

It has been two hours. He has been sitting on the chair looking at the accounts for two full hours. The tea on the side table has been changed several times. The calves of several fat and pig-like managers have begun to tremble. If

If they continue to stand like this, they won't be able to support it anymore.

However, under such circumstances, no one dared to make a sound, just like a prisoner waiting for the judge's decision. Hou Zihan didn't like this feeling, but he had to bow his head.

"Well, this account is well done!"

Finally, after waiting for another half an hour, Wang Guanlan finally opened his mouth, "The royal family's properties in Yicheng include nine large ones and seventeen small ones. I won't look at the seventeen small properties for now.

Looking at your big industries, banks, plantations, warehouses, and docks, the net income of such industries is almost two hundred thousand taels a year. In addition to the twelve thousand taels handed over to the palace, there should be another ten

The savings of 70,000 to 80,000 taels, plus those small industries, the total income should be at least nearly 300,000 taels of silver. Why did you only say 8,000 taels when I asked someone last time?!

"

As soon as Wang Guanlan opened his mouth, he wanted to settle old scores. The eyes of all the shopkeepers immediately glanced at Hou Zihan. Hou Zihan's face was burning. He gritted his teeth and said, "Maybe I made a mistake last time!"

"The calculation is wrong, huh, it can be wrong!" Wang Guanlan did not give any face to the young master of the prince's palace. "On the surface, the account is even, but the number in the library definitely does not match up with the account.

Where have you gone? You know better than me!"

Looking at Hou Zihan who stopped talking, Wang Guanlan grinned and said, "Do you think those are the previous accounts and the previous things were from before I took over these industries? So, strictly speaking, I still have

I really don’t have much power. Even if I am an official, I still have to cover the shortfall of my predecessor. You also left me eight thousand taels of silver, which is pretty good, isn’t it?!”

"It's good if the Fourteenth Young Master knows!" Hou Zihan finally spoke this time, without any intention of giving in. This time, Wang Guanlan wanted to check the accounts. He took out the real accounts, and did not expect to be fooled by fake accounts, because

He knew that at this time, he had to be more careful and not leave the handle in Wang Guanlan's hands.

Wang Guanlan is right. He is here to take over these industries, not to audit the accounts. Before taking over these industries, everything that happened in these industries was tacitly approved by the palace. Wang Guanlan really has no power to say anything.

He knew this, and so did Wang Guanlan. To put it bluntly, he was not afraid of investigation.

The senior officials of the royal palace were well aware of where the income from Yicheng's industry went in the past. In fact, the fact that Yicheng's industry was taken over by Wang Guanlan this time was also the result of a struggle among the senior officials of the palace.

"Okay, we've met the people and checked the accounts, so let's do whatever you have to do from now on. Of course, if anyone wants to leave, I won't force you to stay!" Wang Guanlan's eyes were on

The ten people glanced in front of them and said, "From now on, Wang Qing will take over Hou Zihan's position and officially handle all matters related to Yicheng Industry on my behalf. What he means is mine. Those who stay must understand that the rules here must be

After the changes have been made, Wang Qing will tell you exactly how to make the changes. Okay, you can go!"

Is this the end?!

You look at me and I look at you in the following ten masters. Finally, I focused my attention on Hou Zihan, but Hou Zihan just smiled, shook his sleeves, and hugged Wang Guanlan, "In that case, Zihan takes leave!"

"No!"

Looking at Hou Zihan's free and easy back, and then looking at Wang Guanlan's impatient face, the ten shopkeepers also sighed helplessly. Seven of them followed Wang Qing to the side hall with full of doubts, and three others.

After some thought, he followed Hou Zihan out of Shenhe Residence.

………………………………

………………

"Young Master Ciao, what does this mean? Is this all? I will fire you with just one sentence. What is Wang Qing? He is just a small accountant. What ability does he have to take your place?

"

Among the three people in charge who followed Hou Zihan away, one was extremely fat, and his body was covered in fat. His face was full of flesh, and his two small eyes were rolling around, and from time to time there was a sinister look.

Guang Guang said, "In this case, we won't be able to explain it to you like the third prince!"

"We don't need to explain to the Third Prince!" Hou Zihan didn't even look at it, and there was a hint of impatience in his tone. "The fifth girl's body is now hanging on the city wall. This means that there is no longer any relationship between Wang Guanlan and the Third Prince.

There is no possibility of reconciliation. Since there is no possibility of reconciliation, how can I, as the spokesperson of the Third Prince in Yicheng, interfere with his Yicheng industry? As for you, you are considered smart, among all the shopkeepers.

, you are the closest to me, even if he doesn't leave, he will soon find a reason to send you away!"

"It's not that simple to send us away. These industries are all in our hands. Even if there is no credit, there is still hard work. He just came here, why should he drive us away!"

"You only left him eight thousand taels of silver!" Hou Zi laughed coldly, "Zhu Laopi, stop worrying about your position. You can't keep your position. You should think about how to escape unscathed.

Bar!"

"How can I retreat without my whole body? All my wealth is in Yicheng and in Huitong Village. If Huitong Village is gone, I will have nothing. Master Biao, I can't retreat!"

Hou Zihan stopped, looked at Zhu Laopi and said, "You are still alive because the Fourteenth Young Master was just too lazy to deal with you, so he gave you a chance to escape unscathed. You only have one chance. I also see it."

I only remind you after you have worked hard for so many years, don’t be dissatisfied, Zhu Laopi, you have shaved off a lot in these years!"

"But……!"

"Okay!" Hou Zihan waved his hand and interrupted Zhu Laopi who was still talking, "That's all I have to say. Whether you listen or not is none of my business!" After that,

He quickened his pace and ignored these shopkeepers. It was pity that these shopkeepers followed him out because they wanted to discuss countermeasures with him, but unexpectedly they waited for such a result. They couldn't help but look at each other and stood in the center of the street, unable to walk.

No, not even if I don’t leave.

"No, it can't be like this!" After standing in the wind for a long time, Zhu Laopi stamped his foot fiercely, "We can't just let it go. Humph, he just came to Yicheng and he didn't even have a firm footing. He wanted to touch us, but he didn't want to

Think about it, how many years have we been operating in Yicheng, how much effort and painstaking efforts have been spent, but if we leave Yicheng, we are nothing, and I will not let him succeed so easily!"

"Shopkeeper Zhu, you have to think twice!" Another shopkeeper said cautiously.

"Huh, what are you afraid of? No matter how powerful he is, he is just a teenage boy. Does he know how to do business? Does he know how to maintain all aspects of relationships in Yicheng? He knows how to manage these industries.

?!" Zhu Laopi shook the fat on his body and said confidently, "If we don't cooperate and rely on his few accountants, can he collect Yicheng's industry? Even if he does,

Will it work?!"

"What do you mean...!" Another shopkeeper was very shrewd and immediately heard something strange in Zhu Laopi's words.

"This is not my intention, this is the intention of the Third Prince!" Zhu Laopi said coldly, "Don't forget how Qin Weihua fell ten years ago?!"

"Qin Weihua!!" When they suddenly heard the name, the two shopkeepers were stunned for a moment, and nodded thoughtfully, "Okay, in this case, let's go back and prepare!" After saying that, the two of them also clasped their fists and said goodbye, but

, it is unclear whether he is really ready to go back.
