Chapter Twenty-Three: The Crisis of the Palace

"Madam, look at this is last month's Gong family's income. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Yang Chengyi, the housekeeper of the palace family, handed the account book in his hand to Qiao Shuyan of the Gong Qiao family who was sitting on the chair.

Qiao Shuyan didn't pick it up immediately, but casually picked up the Zhangzhou Baiya Qilan tea in his hand, lifted the lid of the cup slowly and elegantly with his carefully maintained hand, and gently used the lid of the cup to pull the tea stalk inside, and immediately a rich and long-lasting orchid aroma spread.

In the fragrant tea, Yang Chengyi's fingertips twisted the corner page of the account book, and there was a trace of uncommon anxiety in his eyes, but it was a pity that Qiao Shuyan, who was concentrating on drinking tea through Qingyang tea smoke, did not find it.

The tea leaves in the cup are green and oily, the soup is apricot yellow and clear and bright, Qiao Shuyan lightly took a sip of tea, put down the teacup again, and glanced at the account book handed over by Yang Chengyi, but still didn't answer.

She asked lightly, "Hui'er, how is it lately?" ”

As he spoke, there was a trace of murderous intent in his eyes, "Has the person who was assassinated that night been found out?" ”

Yang Chengyi sighed, his hand holding the account book tightened again, straightened his waist for a while and said: "The prince has been staying in the house for the past few days and has not come out, and he has not let people wait, so I still need my wife and the prime minister to take a look." As for the man, so far... I didn't find out..."

"A bunch of rubbish!" Qiao Shuyan suddenly became angry, and the teacup full of tea was thrown to the ground by her raised hand, and the rest of the maids except the housekeeper were so frightened that they knelt on the ground and bowed down.

"Can't find out? Can't find out! My palace family has raised you for so long, is it for nothing? What do you want? ”

She was so angry that even her fingertips were trembling, and she slapped on the table with a "bang", and the people didn't dare to gasp, and her body fell lower and lower.

Yang Chengyi frowned, but there was an imperceptible trace of boredom and disgust in his eyes.

The words were respectful: "Madam, this matter is still being investigated, but you should first take a look at last month's account books." ”

He handed the ledger over again.

Qiao Shuyan was still in a rage, leaning on the table and sitting back on the chair, glaring at Yang Chengyi fiercely.

The maid who was kneeling next to her immediately prostrated and bowed her waist to comfort her with her back with her hands.

Yang Chengyi glanced at Qiao Shuyan expressionlessly, then lowered his head and said, "Madam, pay attention to your demeanor." ”

As soon as these words came out, Qiao Shuyan's fierce eyes widened, and he glanced at Yang Chengyi's cool gaze again, and suddenly seemed to think of something, and his heart was cold, as if someone had poured cold water, and he suddenly calmed down.

She slowly straightened her back, her skirt was in a bun, and her hands folded over her legs.

When her breathing had gradually calmed down, she finally took the ledger and slowly turned the first page.

"Isn't that good? What's the matter, your expression is so solemn. ”

Yang Chengyi took a long breath and said, "You continue to look back." After saying that, he turned his head again.

Looking at him like this, Qiao Shuyan's heart became colder and colder, but he looked back patiently.

However, the more she turned back, the cooler her heart became, a permeating coolness.

The long nails pinched the palm of her hand, she closed the account book that had not finished reading half of it in distraught, frowned at Yang Chengyi, and asked, "What's going on?" ”

"You haven't made it to the end yet." He was still expressionless, "By about five or six days at the end of the month, some clothing shops had already started to lose money. ”

"Could it be too much of a fuss, after all, it is inevitable that there will be losses in a month or two, and this situation has not happened before......" Qiao Shuyan was lucky.

"Then there are not so many shops losing money at the same time." Yang Chengyi smiled a little sarcastically, "I have already asked the master, and his reaction is the same as yours, saying that he will let it go first and see how the situation will be after two months." ”

"Madam, let me tell you the truth, this time there is such a situation, it is obvious that someone with a heart is prepared. I advise you to send someone to investigate. ”

Qiao Shuyan's face was a little ugly, and he was embarrassed: "The master has spoken on this matter, after all, he still has the final say in the affairs of the house, I... At most, I have more power in this backyard, and I can't control anywhere else. How do you take someone to check? ”

"Madam, do you really think I don't know about the secret guards you keep in private?" Yang Chengyi smiled more and more sarcastically.

This silent laugh was like a sharp sword, cutting straight into Qiao Shuyan's heart.

Her face changed greatly, she didn't dare to look at him directly with her side face, and said hesitantly: "You, what do you say!" ”

"Madame..."

"Okay, don't talk about it!" Qiao Shuyan interrupted him, "The master is worried about Wuju and Nanfan now, he is in a bad mood, I never dare to make him unhappy at this time." I've decided, this thing... Put it first. ”

Yang Chengyi completely shut up, his nose was "humming" out of the atmosphere, and he had a face of "unteachable", and only said after a while: "Madam, I have already said this, don't blame me as a subordinate when something happens!" ”

Qiao Shuyan looked at the easy-going man in front of him in a daze, and opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but his lips opened and closed, and he didn't make any sound.

Another part of the Prime Minister's Mansion is also silent.

And this kind of silence is different from the tension and depression of Qiao Shuyan, but the silence here in Muhui Pavilion is full of weirdness.

There was not even a single figure in the exquisite and luxurious room, the windows and doors of the whole room were tightly closed, and all kinds of curtains were lowered.

It was obviously daytime, and the whole room and even the outer hall were dark and dull, which made people feel terrible for no reason.

This place is the most popular place for the thoughtful little maids in the courtyards on weekdays, but now no one dares to come in.

"Whew!"

Suddenly, the sound of a sharp weapon piercing flesh came, breaking the suffocating space of silence, the sound was crisp and neat, without stagnation and adhesion at all, full of despair, horror and depression.

Then there was a low, strange laugh, which cut the oppression apart.

"Hehehehehehe..."

There was a faint light shining into the room from nowhere, and when it came to the corner, it was suddenly reflected a cold light, which appeared and disappeared suddenly.

Looking along the cold light, a line of daggers with dark red was raised and fell, and then the sound of "snorting" came out again.

Gong Yanhui, who was holding the dagger, had a hideous and fierce face, and kept stabbing a rabbit in his hand that was covered in blood and rotten meat.

There are still words in his mouth: "Kill you, kill you......"

........

Gu Changge, who has been targeted by many forces unconsciously, has been mixing very well recently, and the only unsatisfactory thing is that she failed to make a lot of money like the first test when she took the martial arts retest.

At the retest, almost everyone bet on her to win, and the result was of course as expected or expected, and she won easily.

Another thing that is very easy to do is that the various businesses of the International Chamber of Commerce have also begun to enter the right path, and the suppression of some small shops under the control of the palace family has also begun to bear fruit.

At the beginning, Gu Changge told Xiangling Astragalus all about some of the economic theories and business knowledge he had mastered in modern times, and then the two of them became shopkeepers.

On the one hand, she copied some modern knowledge theories at most, and she really knew nine out of ten to really start doing business, and on the other hand, she also believed in the ability of Xiangling Astragalus and the two of them, so she let the two of them do it.

No, it's out now.
