Chapter 8: Yuan Xi is extremely arrogant
Yuan Fang did not return to Yecheng, where there were many people and eyes, and there were many ears and eyes. A million yuan was not a small amount, so it was impossible to hide it.
Although Yuan Fang had no status in the Yuan family, he still had some savings over the years. A few months ago, he instructed Yuan Gui to purchase a remote village outside the city.
He placed the millions of wealth in this private village and prepared to lead his army to Qinghe County when he left Yecheng.
When I arrived at the village, everything was arranged and it was noon.
When he returned to the lobby, the housekeeper Zhao poked his knees down and begged, "The second young master has done what he said, and I beg the second young master to release the old slave."
"Let you go?"
Yuan Fang sneered and asked back: "I let you go. Once you go and report it, wouldn't I cause trouble?"
"Don't worry, the second young master, I will never dare to talk too much. I promise not to reveal a word to anyone." Butler Zhao swears to promise.
Yuan Fang's eyes showed a cold murderous intent, staring at Mr. Zhao and said, "I, Yuan Fang, have sworn, I will be ten times more retaliated for you who have bullied me and despised me. Those of you surnamed Zhao, do you really think I will let you go?"
The murderous intent of Liuluo emanated from Yuan Fang, which made Yuan Gui feel chill.
Butler Zhao was even more shocked by Yuan Fang's strong murderous aura, and almost couldn't breathe, and his whole body was wrapped in the murderous aura.
Until this moment, he could hardly imagine how the useless illegitimate child suddenly had such means and momentum.
"Second Young Master, I...I..." Mr. Zhao tied a knot, not knowing what to do.
Yuan Fang narrowed his eyebrows and shouted, "Yuan Gui, deal with him, cleanly."
Yuan Gui got the order and shouted to his confidant, so he dragged Butler Zhao outward.
It was not until this time that Butler Zhao realized that Yuan Fang had planned to kill him from the very beginning.
If he failed to beg, Mr. Zhao screamed in a deep voice: "Yuan Fang, if you dare to kill me, the eldest and third sons will not let you go, I won't..."
Yuan Fang was as quiet as water. He had turned around and played with tens of thousands of copper coins in the big boxes.
The sound of coins colliding was flowing in my hands. In the courtyard outside the hall, Yuan Gui had already directed his men to dig a hole in the housekeeper Zhao and bury him alive.
Looking at the shining copper coins, Yuan Fang was very happy and murmured: "The problem of money and salary has been solved. It is time to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible, and take my troops to break out a world that belongs to me, Yuan Fang..."
...
Two days later, Yuan Mansion.
In a gorgeous hall, the two brothers Yuan Tan and Yuan Xi were among them.
Yuan Xi paced back and forth, frowned, and was filled with anxiety.
A confidant servant came in and bowed, "Young Master, we have checked all the places where Mr. Zhao usually goes, but no one can see his whereabouts."
"Well, it seems that this Zhao man actually took the money and ran away privately." Yuan Tan sighed thoughtfully.
Yuan Xi was extremely angry and gritted his teeth and cursed: "This dog named Zhao is a waste of us and we are still confidant. He dared to embezzle my money. It's really a terrible thing. I must find this dog and tear him apart!"
The Yuan brothers didn't know the inside story and thought it was Mr. Zhao, so they swallowed the million yuan and ran away.
Butler Zhao was their confidant for many years and had always won their trust. Now, at the critical moment before Yuan Xi sent troops, he swallowed such an important military capital, which was like a blow to Yuan Xi. How could he not make him feel heartbroken and angry?
Yuan Xi cursed for a long time, until his mouth was dry, and then he sat down with panting and gasped heavily.
"Xianyi, you don't have to be too angry. Isn't it just one million yuan? At worst, you can just use your private savings this time. Your foundation is a hundred times better than that cheap person. Don't mess up your scruples for this extraneous matter."
After hearing Yuan Tan's advice, Yuan Xi's violent and angry mood calmed down a little.
He pointed at the key point and said, "Brother is right. One million yuan will not hurt me. I will send troops tomorrow. I must hurry up and take down Bingzhou before that cheap man."
"What's the hurry? It's not too late to stop everything and send troops again. Brother Wei has already secretly stumbled. Keep it, that kind of lowly person can't even send troops."
Yuan Tan smiled coldly, and a bit of sinister mystery appeared in his deep eyes.
...
A hundred miles away, Quliang City.
In the lobby of Zhen Mansion, Zhen Yi, the head of the Zhen family, sat upright, listening to the officials and reporting on the various transactions of the Zhen family.
The Zhen family was originally from Zhongshan. Because Zhongshan Country is very close to Youzhou, and the Zhen family is determined to defect to Yuan Shao, Zhen Yi has already moved his family to Quliang City, a subordinate of Wei County. In the hometown of Zhongshan Country, only a group of trusted servants were left to manage the Zhen family's local industries.
Now there are wars everywhere in Hebei, and Yuan Shao and Gongsun Zan are fighting hard to fight. Instead, the Zhen family made a fortune in war, and their income is more than twice as high as in previous years.
Listening to the rumbling coins, Zhen Yi smiled slightly and expressed his smug expression.
Just then, the eldest son Zhen Yao hurried in and said solemnly: "Father, something happened. We will embezzle the millions of money we gave to Mr. Yuan San to their housekeeper named Zhao."
Zhen Yi was shocked, his face suddenly changed. He hurriedly held the butlers back and asked Zhen Yao for details.
Zhen Yao then took out Yuan Xi's secret letter and presented it to his father.
After seeing it, Zhen Yi patted the letter on the case and said angrily: "How come this third young master Yuan, why is he so useless to know people? He mistakenly used such a traitor as his confidant, causing me to lose millions of money in vain."
"No matter how unhelpful Mr. Yuan is a hundred times better than that low-class person. Anyway, our gift has been delivered. The money was lost by Mr. Yuan. He still has the right love." Zhen Yao comforted.
Zhen Yi sighed for a while, then calmed down and nodded, "You are right. Even if you don't have our millions of dollars, with the strength of the third young master Yuan, you will definitely be able to beat Yuan Fang's cheap man. It's just a million dollars, and it's gone."
Zhen Yi is not self-comfort. The annual revenue of Zhen’s family is more than tens of millions of dollars, and the loss of a mere million yuan is indeed a drop in the bucket for them.
"I hope Mr. Yuan can win this competition as soon as possible, and marry your sister to him as a father. Our Zhen family will climb the big tree of the Yuan family and will rest assured from now on." Zhen Yi sighed.
Zhen Yao smiled and said, "Don't worry, father, how could Mr. Yuan lose to that low-class person? Father, please wait with peace of mind to listen to the good news that Mr. Yuan's pacification of Bingzhou."
The father and son looked at each other and laughed, full of confidence in Yuan Xi.
But they didn't know that outside the window, there was a girl eavesdropping on the conversation between them.
"This million yuan must have been secretly robbed by the second young master. I didn't expect that he really had the courage. It seems that my vision is really right..."
