Three hundred and ninetieth chapters furious (three)
Seventh Master, what do you mean?"
Wang Yihe was confused. Could it be that Ye Qinglan was testing himself just now and did it on purpose?
Ye Qinglan took off the jade pendant from his waist, put it on the table in front of him, and pushed it in front of Wang Yihe.
"You should know this thing."
"This is--" Wang Yihe widened his eyes and carefully picked up the jade pendant. A small word "ye" was engraved on the white jade.
"The head of the family order."
"No," Ye Qinglan said, "Those who hold this head of the family order are considered to be the head of the family who is here in person and can take over any business in the Ye family. Manager Wang, from now on, I will be responsible for the affairs of Mianzhou. You only need to do what I said."
Wang Yihe swallowed and asked carefully: "Seventh Young Master, the villain took the initiative to ask, there are no more than five orders in total, how can you have them?"
"……ah?"
Ye Qinglan frowned and thought, "Is this difficult to understand? It was given to me by my father."
"Haha...yes." Wang Yihe scratched his head awkwardly and returned the jade pendant.
Ye Qinglan chuckled: "Shopkeeper Wang, don't look down on me. Although my reputation has not been famous, I am not a waste anyway."
"The villain dares not."
"Then, can Manager Wang bring what I want now?"
"Oh, yes!" Wang Yi said together, "Seventh Master, please wait, the villain will do it immediately."
After about a cup of tea, Wang Yihe walked back with a quaint sandalwood box.
"Seventh Young Master, this is the account book of our transactions with Shi Dingyan."
Ye Qinglan opened the box and contained two account books. He turned on the first page and glanced at it, and couldn't help but feel amazed.
"Haha, Shi Dingyan has a big appetite. The first time he asked for money, the lion opened his mouth and asked us for three thousand taels of silver!"
Wang Yihe smiled bitterly and said, "Three thousand taels are still a small amount. At the most, we gave him 20,000 taels."
Ye Qinglan looked heavy and read it. After reading the two books, his expression was extremely difficult to see.
"Five years ago, I have successively given him Shi Dingyan money. After three shopkeepers, the Ye Family Silver Company did not get any corresponding returns. This is simply a loss-making transaction!"
Wang Yihe sighed, "Yes, when the villain took over the Mianzhou Silver Account, he was also shocked. The account was deficit of as much as 16,000 taels, and it almost closed down."
"Are you all fools before? I didn't get any rewards, and I hope Shi Dingyan will give money in this bottomless pit!" Ye Qinglan said angrily, "Eighteen thousand taels of silver are enough for him to spend eight lifetimes!"
"You can't say that," Wang Yihe said, "Seventh Master, you don't know that although Shi Dingyan is greedy for money, he still has a handle in our hands."
"I know, aren't these two account books?" Ye Qinglan said angrily, "What I'm angry is that it's obviously a loss-making business, but I still have to continue doing it. Just find a way to change to a prefect?"
"Seventh Young Master, as you said, these two account books are indeed Shi Dingyan's biggest handle, but they are not the things he fears the most."
Ye Qinglan frowned and looked at Wang Yihe: "What does Shopkeeper Wang mean?"
Wang Yi smiled and said, "Business, both come and go, and the pros and cons are mutual. These two accounts are Shi Dingyan's handle, but they also restrict us. Therefore, over the years, we have to keep stuffing money into Shi Dingyan's hands, but only a part of this money has been in his pocket, and more of it has been sent to it by Shi Dingyan to stabilize his position as the old and foolish prefect of Mianzhou."
"Our Mianzhou Silver House took advantage of this opportunity to manage various locations at Shi Dingyan's superiors. On the contrary, Shi Dingyan paved the way for himself, but this road was cleverly used by us. Shi Dingyan thought we would not be able to break the tide, so he asked us for money unscrupulously, but he didn't know that we had already controlled him and as long as we were willing, we could turn this Mianzhou prefect into a commoner at any time."
"A prefect who has a firm position in our hands is much easier to use than a business partner who is in conflict with us."
Ye Qinglan nodded slowly: "So that's it."
"That means that as long as I am willing, Shi Dingyan, the prefect of Mianzhou, can he get out at any time?"
Wang Yihe smiled and nodded: "Yes, as long as you want."
"That's good." Ye Qinglan threw away the account book casually, "This is much easier than just negotiating with Shi Dingyan."
Wang Yihe asked curiously: "Seventh Master, are you looking for Shi Dingyan?"
"Yes." Ye Qinglan said coldly, "Shopkeeper Wang, please arrange it so that I can meet Shi Dingyan and his son Shi Qian."
"What's the matter?"
"Let them stay honestly." Ye Qinglan said, "Maybe I will kill another person."
...
Zhaojia Village.
Xiao Xuangan rode into the village. It was clearly in broad daylight, but there were not many people in the village, and only a few children were playing on the street.
He rushed to Yaya's house in the direction he remembered. When he walked through several streets, he finally saw the villagers of Zhaojia Village.
The whole village gathered here and formed a group of people. Xiao Xuangan could not see what was happening inside. He only heard someone crying and someone scolding. There was smoke floating in the distance.
No, that's not smoke from cooking! It's thick smoke after the fire is extinguished!
Xiao Xuangan's eyes shook and he rushed to the back of everyone. When the villagers of Zhaojia Village heard the sound behind him, they looked back and found that it was the hero of yesterday, and immediately knelt down excitedly.
"Friends, what exactly happened here?" Xiao Xuangan walked into the crowd, looked at Yaya's house, which had been burned to ruins, and murmured:
"how so……"
The villagers of Zhaojia Village endured their grief and told Xiao Xuangan: "Last night, Brother Shoucheng's house suddenly caught fire. The whole village put out the fire together, and it was just extinguished."
"Where are the people inside?"
It’s gone… Brother Shoucheng, sister-in-law, and Yaya are all dead.”
Xiao Xuangan immediately felt dizzy, his body shook for a few times, and finally he stopped his body.
He clenched his fists tightly, his nails embedded in the flesh, and blood flowed down the cracks of his fists.
"Yaya's family was killed by someone."
As soon as this statement came out, the villagers immediately discussed it.
"Hare you sure?"
"Of course." Xiao Xuangan said gritted his teeth, "The thing we gave Yaya yesterday appeared in Pi Eryan's hands today."
"So it's Pi Er!" the villagers cursed angrily, "This Qiandao killer shouldn't have let them go at the beginning, just kill them!"
Xiao Xuangan murmured to himself: "Yes, I should have killed them at the beginning."
"Don't worry, fellow villagers, the murderer is for us. We cannot refuse the blame for Brother Shoucheng's death! I, Xiao Xuangan, here I swear that I will bring the people who killed Brother Shoucheng's family to justice! If there is any violation, heaven will be punished by the earth!"
"The hero doesn't have to do this." The village chief of Zhaojia Village stood up and said, "Shoucheng is also the benefactor of our Zhaojia Village. If he hadn't taken you in, we might have been bullied by Zhang Yuanwai in the future. The death of their family is the responsibility of all the villagers in our Zhaojia Village. We blame us for not protecting them well."
Xiao Xuangan suddenly realized a problem and asked hurriedly: "Friends, how much do you know about Pi Er?"
"I don't know very well, I only know that he is Zhang Yuanwai's tyrant and often comes to our Zhaojia Village to be domineering."
"Then, does he know Brother Shoucheng?"
The villagers whispered: "It shouldn't be known. Shouchengduo is honest and never provoked them."
"Yes, Pi Er has never come to his house to collect rent, and they have never met each other."
Xiao Xuan shouted to look around everyone, his cold eyes swept across everyone's face.
"Since that's the case, how did Pi Er know about Brother Shoucheng's family?"
"It was someone in the village who came with these evil men!"
The villagers were frightened by Xiao Xuangan's words. Some nodded and some shook their heads for suspicion.
"Hero, we are all from the same village. Brother Shoucheng is generous and has a good relationship with others. No one holds a grudge against him. Moreover, no one in our village will do this!"
"Yes, yes." The villagers agreed.
"Yes or not, you will know it after checking it." Xiao Xuangan asked, "Did the old man, the villagers in the village all get married? Are there any idle people and single people living there?"
The village chief thought for a while, shook his head and said, "The young boys are all married, there are no idle people, and our village does not keep idle people. As for the ones... there are three widows and a widower in the village. Oh, by the way, the wife of Zhao Wu's family is also considered, but she is still dragging down a son."
"Zhao Wu..." Xiao Xuangan frowned and said, "Just check these people! Ask clearly what they did last night. Also, remember to search the family. Since you can lead Pi Er to kill people, you will definitely have a lot of benefits."
"Okay, we get it." The village chief ordered, "Take a few people quickly and take them all to the ancestral hall to ask questions!"
Several villagers left, and Xiao Xuangan looked at the broken walls of Yaya's house. It was unimaginable that the day before yesterday was filled with laughter and joy. The little girl with a braid was thrown high into the sky by several of them, and she was smiling at the corners of her mouth when she was sleeping.
A big fire burned these completely.
How desperate they have to be when they die.
"Village Chief." Xiao Xuangan took a deep breath and asked, "Where is the body of Yaya's family?"
"Just in the yard behind the ancestral hall, are you going to go there?"
"Yeah." Xiao Xuangan nodded, "I... are looking at them for the last time."
...
Zhang Family.
The people from the Jinsha Gang had completely occupied the place. Zhang Xiuxian's body was buried in a hurry and his family was driven out.
"Hurry, put that box on the carriage, pull the last thing, and we'll go back." Pi Er directed with great enthusiasm.
"Second brother, what a good house, how good we can use Jinsha for ourselves, why did we throw it away?"
"What do you know!" Pi Er said, "The day for our Jinsha Gang to make a comeback is almost here. The big man from Tianjian Tower has agreed to take our Jinsha Gang to Yizhou and leave Mianzhou, a broken place where birds do not shit. From now on, my brothers and others will be able to be happy in Yizhou!"
As he was speaking, the sound of horse hooves sounded behind him, accompanied by a cold sound:
"Pi Er?"
"I'm scolding, who's called me!"
Pi Er looked back and saw a man and a horse stop behind him, and the man seemed to be familiar.
"It's you!" Pi Er opened his eyes wide in horror. He remembered that the night when his nose was cut off, this person was among the five people.
"Come here! Come here!" Pi Er shouted in horror, and ran away at the same time.
Murong Bai did not draw his sword, so he pulled a trigger on his wrist. Suddenly, a sleeve arrow flew out, hitting Pi Er's thigh.
"ah!"
Facing Murong Bai, who was emitting murderous aura all over his body, no one from the Jinsha Gang caught up and watched Murong Bai walk to Pi Er.
"I'll ask you." Murong Bai squatted down and asked coldly:
"Why did Yaya's hairpin appear in your mistress's hands?"
