The door of the private room was suddenly pushed open, and three brocade guards walked in with a man with a disheveled head, his face was indescribably embarrassed, his hands were firmly tied with hemp rope, and he seemed to have been imprisoned for a long time

Several brocade guards brought him to Chu Xuanzhao's side, bowed down and hugged their fists, and said, "My lord, we have already brought people." ”

Chu Xianzhao nodded slightly, glanced at the embarrassed man in brocade, and said, "I guess everyone knows who he is, right?"

Without waiting for everyone to speak, the man kowtowed at Chu Xianzhao's feet and said, "The villain deserves to die, the villain deserves to die!"

Wei Jing's face suddenly turned to ashes, staring at Chu Xianzhao and asking, "You are so bold, dare to touch me-"

"Your people?" Chu Xianzhao interrupted him and said, "Not only do I want to touch your people, but I also want to slaughter him in front of you, and use his blood to tell you what you should not do." ”

Wei Jing was stunned for a moment, as if he hadn't understood the meaning of his words.

As soon as Chu Xianzhao finished speaking, one of the Jinyi guards had already pulled out the embroidered spring knife, and the other two Jinyi guards grabbed his arm and pressed him to the ground hard, Chu Yanzhao nodded lightly.

Seeing this situation, the merchants in the private room were in an uproar, and even Shen Chuxia was frightened by Chu Xianzhao's actions, and shouted in panic: "Brother, I can't help it!"

Wei Jing finally came back to his senses and understood Chu Xuanzhao's actions, so frightened that he hurriedly took a few steps back, trembling all over.

Chu Xianzhao smiled and said, "Li Guang, I heard that your knife is fast, how fast is it?"

The man in brocade said, "It's so fast that adults can't see it." ”

Chu Xianzhao asked suspiciously, "Really?"

The man who was escorted to the ground by the Jinyi guard was suddenly frightened, and shouted hoarsely at Wei Jing: "My lord saved me...... All that money you wanted...... I didn't take a cent...... I've got it all for you!!"

"Shut up!" Wei Jing roared at him with tears in his eyes, the man struggled desperately with a crying voice, Chu Xianzhao raised his hand with interest, "Wait a minute, he seems to have something to say-"

Before he finished speaking, after a burst of knife light, he was cut off with a knife along with a cry.

Blood spurted to Wei Jing's feet, followed by a hideous-looking head, staring at his eyes.

Countless screams erupted in the private room, and everyone was shocked by this extremely bloody scene, and as soon as the front foot took a step, the body immediately froze, and Rao couldn't take a single step, because the purple eyes were watching each of them, like the gaze of a fierce beast in the flood era.

"You've killed someone!" someone shouted at him in horror as if looking at the monster.

Chu Xianzhao glanced at these frightened businessmen, looked down at the headless corpse, and said calmly: "Yes, you businessmen can always accurately grasp the situation, and I naturally have a reason to kill him...... and power. ”

The dishes on the table were still hot, and the smell of blood gradually overshadowed the rich aroma of the dishes, lingering at the bottom of everyone's nose, which was in stark contrast to the scene of eating happily just now.

The merchants stepped back in fear, the horror on their faces lingered for a long time, and they even subconsciously touched the dagger on their waists, no one knew if it would be their turn next, as for the principals who were closest to Chu Xuanzhao, they looked at the headless corpse with dead faces. In comparison, it was the face that occasionally showed a gentle smile that was even more terrifying, their shoulders were constantly shaking, and Rao couldn't take a step, but even if they did, where could they go?

The white-haired demon was still looking at them, with that gentle smile on his face, they looked at each other, but they couldn't believe that this bastard had really killed in front of them, and in the face of such a terrible scene, there was no fear on his face.

"You...... How can you kill people indiscriminately, and you still kill your own people!" a businessman with a mellow personality was finally frightened, pointing at Chu Xuanzhao's face and crying.

Chu Xianzhao shook his head, took out a jade plaque from his arms and threw it on the table, and said softly: "If the dog you want bites people indiscriminately, will you beat the dog to death or expel it, it should be, I just did something that you would also do, why make such a fuss." ”

"If he did something wrong, why kill him?" said someone sharply.

Chu Xianzhao sneered: "Have you forgotten my position in the imperial court? Jinyiwei handled the case, first cut and then played, the imperial power was licensed!"

At this time, they remembered that this illegitimate son was not only the eldest lady behind them as a background, he had the ability to hang a position of a brocade guard, and they didn't expect that he would come here for dinner today, so he cut down a person who made a mistake in front of all of them, if this matter reached the ears of the eldest lady, what should I do?

Shen Chuxia's voice trembled and said, "Is there anything that can't be discussed...... It's all over now...... Auntie knows...... I will never let you go. ”

In Shen Chuxia's view, the most important thing in the Shen family firm is not money, but these directors who can maintain the stability of the firm, since her father was demoted from the sunset, the directors secretly take millions of taels of silver every year She and the eldest lady also know, as for why the eldest lady has been turning a blind eye, she is worried that if she uses a knife to cut off this cancer, it will cause the entire family to bleed, who knows what will happen to their family if they eradicate these bank presidents and directors

The thing?

You must know that the money required to train a bank president is more than one million, if you continue to kill them all and kill them all, who will help the Shen family do things?

Chu Xianzhao glanced at Shen Chuxia, who was glazed-eyed, and told her not to be afraid with his eyes, and then said aloud: "Listen to it all for me." ”

"Li Guang, read!" Chu Xianzhao motioned to the Jinyi guard beside him to take out the file, and his subordinates unfolded the file knowingly and read it aloud," Jin Yiwei found out that Su Xuan, the shopkeeper of the Shen family firm A big bank, Langya Prefecture and other places in Qingguo, Tongzhou, Langyazhou, etc., have pawnshops and money shops, and the capital is not less than more than 100,000 yuan, and the treasures in the house are more than 200 strings, which are more than several times larger than the inside, and there are dragon gold, how can the small shopkeeper have such a rich industry, the source of money is unknown, and the first crime is that Su Xuan is the main leader and the people robbed the Tang merchants of silk thousands of horses, causing street battles, killing and injuring eight lives, and the bones are not left......"

Listening to the accusations he listed, everyone only felt that their heads were buzzing, and some of them were somewhat involved in these things, and their bodies trembled involuntarily.

Some honest businessmen who had nothing to do with these things, listening to the countless charges that were read aloud, were particularly disgusted by the behavior of bullying men and women, so they gradually let go of their prejudices against Chu Xuanzhao, and only felt that he killed well, this kind of person deserves to die!

"So I killed. Chu Xianzhao suddenly interrupted his subordinates' recitation, and said: "So Xiao Xuan, a bastard who eats white rice and doesn't work, and wants to eat meat and drink soup, since the eldest lady asked me to take care of things, then I will definitely cut off this tumor, you say, did I do something wrong?"

The entire private room was silent, and after Chu Xianzhao looked around, he then said: "A small shopkeeper under President Wei who settles accounts and manages wealth actually embezzled nearly 200,000 taels of silver, and so much silver disappeared for no reason, will anyone here not know? A small shopkeeper has such a big appetite to do such exaggerated things, I dare not think about those who are in a bigger position than him, how many people still do this, and how many pieces of silver that do not belong to you every year are quietly taken away by you?"

In the end, his gaze fell on Wei Jing and said, "Lord Wei, do you think this is the reason?"

Wei Jing suppressed his fear and sneered, "Are you threatening us?"

Chu Xianzhao walked to Wei Jing's side, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said: "No matter how big or small, everything that involves a business bank, even if it is a small thing, it is a big thing, not to mention that flies and tigers must fight together, catching tigers is the top priority, you have to dig traps to lure the tiger out slowly, take your time, but a corrupt fly like you, just slap it to death, everything must be divided into a sequence, what do you think?"

The resentment in Wei Jing's eyes became more and more obvious, because the killed Su Xuan was his subordinate, Chu Xuanzhao's approach was undoubtedly a slap in the face, or a formal declaration of war on them, the head of the bank, but as well as his power, even if he was disgusted with Chu Xuanzhao's ruthlessness, he didn't dare to refute him with half a word, because the person he was going to deal with next was likely to be himself.

Someone began to think about the words and said: "Even if he does something wrong, you shouldn't kill people in public in a place like Qingfeng Residence, you should be handed over to the yamen to deal with, the young master does this, I'm afraid it will chill everyone's hearts......"

Chu Xianzhao didn't put any more pressure on the businessmen, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I am your master, and I am also the pacification envoy of Jinyiwei, Su Xuan bullied men and women, embezzled * public funds, killed people and oversold goods, which is not a damned crime, kill is kill." If I don't even dare to move a person like him, how can I make you obey me? Besides, all of you here are people who have signed life and death certificates, and your net worth and life are all from our Shen family...... If you make a big mistake, why can't you kill it?"

Everyone felt a deep chill rise from their hearts, they didn't expect him to know about it, and now he had caught the handle of all of them.

The life and death certificate is a contract signed to prevent those merchants who know the Shen family's trade secrets from opening a foundation and establishing a business, so as not to use the secret information in their hands against the Shen family's business house, and the life and death certificate is also a watershed in the business class, and only those who sign the life and death certificate are eligible to access those core secrets.

Any businessman who signed a life and death certificate with the Shen family will not be allowed to leave the Shen family's business house for life, and the offender will be killed, and those who commit major crimes of rebellion such as selling trade secrets, including businessmen who embezzle * public funds and other situations, once discovered, everyone can be killed, and they do not need to bear any legal responsibility.

I didn't expect him to know about life and death, I have to say that he is indeed thoughtful, and as the young master of the Shen family, of course he has the right to execute.

Relying on this alone, he would be able to kill most of the merchants here himself, without having to bear any legal responsibility.

But he didn't seem to have any intention of doing so, and today's killing was just to set an example for the monkeys and establish their majesty, leaving an impression of majesty on everyone present.

Enwei and Shi are both rigid and soft, what a ruthless skill, worthy of being a member of the Shen family, some people think.

"I'm not here to sweep you up, but I'm here to ask you for a promise that your heads will all roll to the ground. Chu Xianzhao narrowed his eyes and smiled.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they heard this, they were not barefoot and unshoeed characters, and they were afraid that this kid would chase them and bite them like a mad dog.

"From this day onwards, you can continue to manage the shop property that you are supposed to be responsible for as you have done in the past, but every money that comes in and out, from gold to copper, must be recorded in the account book for me, and then let me know you

If you make false accounts or reach for money, I guarantee that it will not only affect you, but even your family. ”

Chu Xianzhao leaned forward with his hands on the table, this action Chu Xiaohua had done countless times when he was in the imperial study, making him feel a great sense of coercion every time he witnessed it, but now he made it happen naturally.

And even your family.

This last sentence made many terrible pictures appear in their minds, who could bear to have their family killed like Xiao Xuan, his face was constantly twitching, and Rao couldn't say half a word to refute him.

"Just by what you have done in the past, I can kill you at any time without any responsibility, if you die these people, the Shen family firm will definitely be messed up, this is something you and I don't want to see, in fact, you also know in your hearts, I owe Shen Sanqian and the eldest lady a favor, out of this kindness, I will not be ruthless to you people, newcomers and new atmosphere, I can write off the things you committed before, because a win-win situation is better than a lose-lose situation, and after this door, you are still a good master and a good businessman of the Shen family firm, and I hope it will be the same in the future." 。 ”

Chu Xuan summoned Wei Jing and said expressionlessly: "As for you, although I don't know what calculations you have in mind, I don't plan to do anything to you for the time being, I will give you three days, write a new account book within three days, and tell me where the four million taels a year went, so don't think that you can only live because I am soft-hearted, just because you are still useful." ”

"I'll leave this mess to you, eat slowly, don't waste these good dishes and wine. ”

"Yes, sir. The subordinates responded in unison, and began their work of collecting the corpses.

Chu Xianzhao turned his back to the humiliated merchants, stretched out three fingers and said: "Three days, I will only give you three days, if I don't receive the account book after three days, I will bear the consequences." ”

The people with complicated expressions finally nodded slowly and bowed respectfully to him.

The murderous aura was fleeting, and Chu Xuanzhao left with Shen Chuxia after saying this.

It was only now that everyone looked up at the moment when the white-haired man who didn't know the weight of his hands pushed open the door, and the sunlight from outside just shone his figure like an emperor.

This bastard's methods are ruthless, but they are just right, and this grasp makes people feel chills in their backs.

The hall suddenly fell silent, the panic in the eyes of the merchants looking at the direction of his departure was still gone, everyone in the city of the setting sun knew his name, but compared to the people of the setting sun who talked about him after dinner, it was not as direct as the pain of these merchants who actually felt his terrible feelings.

Now that they finally understand it, they also have a little more sneer in their hearts, killing chickens and setting an example for monkeys, what he killed is still his own chicken, but young master, how do you use swordsmanship, and you are still like a blind man crossing the river for the affairs of the business house, and now you have offended all these people, don't think they will do a good job for you in the future, this matter has reached the ears of the eldest lady, see how you explain what you did today.

Shen Chuxia, who no longer chose to walk side by side with Chu Xianzhao, was full of embarrassment for a while, raised his head and stared at this delicate face covered by white hair, silent.

"Sixth sister, do you think I did something wrong today?" Chu Xianzhao said with a smile.

Shen Chuxia looked at his eyes, remembered the previous killing scene, shook his head, plucked up the courage and said softly, "You want to kill Wei Jing?"

Chu Xianzhao couldn't help laughing: "Of course I want to kill, but killing a tiger is not the same as killing a fly, you have to take your time to kill a tiger, and you can't be in a hurry." ”

"My brother is still too gentle. ”

Unlike Shen Huayu, who has no heart and no lungs, Shen Chuxia has been immersed in the way of businessmen since he was a child, and he knows how to be ruthless when he is very young.

Chu Xianzhao said calmly: "With the evidence in our hands, it is reasonable to slaughter most of them, but you also know the consequences of doing so, it will only be a catastrophe for the Shen family, even if we can quell this catastrophe and let new people take their place, but soon they will follow their old path again, and new Su Xuan and Wei Jing will appear again and continue to steal our family's silver, this is a vicious circle." ”

Shen Chuxia's heart moved slightly, and he seemed to understand his younger brother's approach, even if he killed Wei Jing and those troublesome governors now, he couldn't change anything, because the person standing behind them was likely to be someone in the imperial court, or someone from the Zhao family's royal family, and it was not a matter of a day or two for the people of the royal family to turn the Shen family firm into an imperial businessman, and I am afraid that when the time comes, they will raise a new puppet and take even more terrible revenge on the Shen family firm.

Chu Xianzhao said with a smile: "So the person I care about is not Wei Jing, but the big man behind Wei Jing, I just want to force them into a corner, until they have no way out." ”

Shen Chuxia took a deep breath and looked a little tired, "Brother, isn't he afraid that he will startle the snake like this?"

"Wei Jing is that weed, yes, but what I want to surprise is definitely not a snake, maybe a dragon. ”

Chu Xianzhao tilted his head to Shen Chuxia's side, and a strand of white hair on the sideburns hung down on the girl's face, making the tip of her nose itchy and soft.
