Chapter 44: Whistleblowing
Chapter 44 The light in Xue Yuan's room went out quickly, and he spent a little more effort and was more tired than the other two, so he quickly fell asleep, so he didn't know that the light in Zheng Nan's room hadn't been turned on all night.
Zheng Nan came out of Xue Yuan's room and walked outside Xue Jingyan's door.
After a while, Zheng Nan didn't know if Xue Jingyan had finished reading the account book.
He smiled bitterly in his heart, Xue Yuan thought that he was sent to the palace by the Zheng family to show his attachment, but in fact, he was just selected from the Zheng family's branch to appease the prince's heart, and he didn't expect that this time he would be able to come out with the sixth young master to do things, and he happened to encounter such a thing.
When he set off from the capital, the head of the Zheng family had instructions that if he found anything bad related to the Li family in Munan this time, he could go to Li Jiyang, the head of the Li family.
He thought there was nothing wrong, but from what he heard in the past few days, it could be seen that the Li family had nothing to do with the sale of tobacco and soil.
He stood outside the brightly lit door of Xue Jingyan's room, his heart was restless, thinking that the Xue family treated him well, but the faces of his parents at home also appeared back and forth. After hesitating for a while, I still went to call the shopkeeper of the Li Family Inn.
Li Jiyang told him before that if he had anything to look for, he would go to the shopkeeper to tell him, otherwise he would always go to Li's house, which would also arouse suspicion.
Woken up in the middle of the night, the shopkeeper was very unhappy, put on a straight face, and asked, "What's the matter with you?" ”
Zheng Nan took out the token that Li Jiyang had given him at the Li family before.
When the shopkeeper saw the token that Zheng Nan took out, he determined that it was the owner's thing, and he hurriedly ran to Li's house regardless of the fact that it was the middle of the night.
This is something that can show your face, but you can't just send Xiao Er at will.
In order to save time and avoid wasting time back and forth, Zheng Nan also picked a little bit and told him.
When the shopkeeper arrived at Li's house, Li Jiyang learned that Zheng Nan had news for him to bring, so he got up from the bed again.
I didn't rest in the first half of the night, I was a little sleepy at this time, I sat on a chair, leaned on the armrest with one hand, took a sip of tea with one hand, lowered my eyes and asked, "What did he say?" ”
The shopkeeper replied: "He said that the young master of his family got the account book of the Wang family, and I heard that it has something to do with the Li family's Sheng family." He was afraid that something would have to do with it, so he came over and asked me to explain it to you. ”
Li Jiyang put down the tea bowl in his hand, sighed, and said, "You go down." ”
"Yes."
The shopkeeper went down, but Li Jiyang still sat on the chair and did not move.
The subordinate dressed in black beside him asked with some concern, "Master, what's wrong?" ”
Li Jiyang shook his head and said, "This surnamed Xue doesn't know what luck he has taken, and he found the account book so quickly." Wang Qi has always been very stupid, and he doesn't know what he wrote down in the account book. Ah Chen, you go and ask Wang Qi, is he stupid enough to write down the real thing. If it's true, you come back quickly, I have something for you to do. ”
Ah Chen took the order and went down.
Li Jiyang took another sip of tea and said, "Someone is coming, ......"
Another man in black appeared and knelt down to receive the order.
"You go to the Li Family Inn and ask the kid surnamed Zheng if he has found anything!"
The man in black took the order and left.
After a while, the man in black named Ah Chen came back and talked to Li Jiyang.
"I went to Wang's mansion and asked Mr. Wang about the account book, but he refused to admit that he kept the account book privately. But when his subordinates learned that the regent's son had arrived in Munan City and obtained an account book, he began to get nervous. When he was about to go to find the ledger, he found that his ledger was indeed missing...... At this time, he had no choice but to tell the truth and tell his subordinates that the book he had lost was the one he had a clear record. ”
"This idiot. Worse than useless. Li Jiyang was so angry that his hands trembled.
Ah Chen asked, "Master, what should we do now?" Fortunately, the person who called Zheng Nan came to remind him. ”
Li Jiyang sneered: "Does he dare not come, you must know that the Zheng family in the capital is involved in this business." I thought that the Zheng family would be able to speak no matter what they said in the capital, but I didn't expect to be able to talk about it. Milk. The stinky kid can't stop it. Without them, how much more could I have earned in these years. ”
Ah Chen said, "Ye said that he laughed. If there is no Zheng family, maybe things will be more troublesome. He'd sent someone to say hello before, but we didn't even pay attention to it. The regent is so capable, no one in the Xue family should be underestimated. ”
Li Jiyang laughed at what he said.
"Actually, I'm just talking about it. I don't treat Xue Jingyan as a twenty-year-old young man. At his age, I have a baby. The preparations I made before, you don't know it, at this time, I just said that these are cold mixed with me! ”
Ah Chen smiled: "It's still a wise man." Ye is really a clever plan. When Xue Gongzi entered Muzhou, there were people beside him, but in fact, his whereabouts have always been in our hands. Now there are only two guards left by his side, and one guard is one of our people, as long as there is no big basket, it should be fine. ”
Li Jiyang said with a smile: "You also know that I have always believed that harmony makes money. Alas, no one expected him to get the account book so quickly, and I don't want to tear my face, so I'll go to the inn tomorrow and have a good chat with him. I just hope that he will be more knowledgeable about current affairs and not force me to do anything bad. ”
Not to mention that he, a small squire, dared not to put the regent's son in his eyes, and knew that he was really bold. However, if you are not bold, you will not dare to violate the ban of the great grandfather and do this kind of thing that can raid the family and destroy the clan in this place far away from the capital.
Zheng Nan is just a nephew of a branch of the Zheng family in the capital, and he thinks that he has offered a lot of silver taels to the Zheng family, and he doesn't think much of him.
This day is far away, there are advantages and disadvantages.
Just like this time, if it weren't for the letter from the capital, the people of Muzhou would have been kept in the dark, if they didn't have time to wipe their buttocks, and the people who came to investigate found something, the eighty-year-old woman was a child, and she couldn't cry.
Li Jiyang thought about it like this, and the unhappiness in his heart about the Zheng family's little worship silver finally eased.
He shook his head lightly and said to Ah Chen: "Alas, it seems that I still haven't reached the point of being pampered." Although I know that it is right to send money to Kyori, I am not happy when I think about spending so much money in vain every year. ”
Ah Chen soothed: "Master, don't be angry, didn't you come here like this in the past few years." Fortunately, Old Man Sheng found something so profitable, otherwise I'm afraid the Zheng family wouldn't look down on Mu Nan's people. ”
"Well, that's just as well."
"It's a pity that who knows that Old Man Sheng won't be able to hold on. If we knew that he still had a back hand, we should have done it a long time ago. In this way, all the money of the Sheng family can be settled by the master. ”
"Forget it, don't talk about this!" Li Jiyang waved his hand and stopped the topic.
