Chapter 92: The City

The door of the Shen family's treasury had not yet been closed, and the light of the gold, silver and jewels inside could still be seen from a distance, but Lu Jingyuan, who was closest to the meeting, didn't seem to see it.

"Since Master Shen wants Ben Hou to preside over justice, then Ben Hou will give you justice. Three days later, all the properties and fields under the name of the Shen family were publicly auctioned in Yunlai Building, and the one with the highest price was awarded. ā€

After speaking, without waiting for Shen Jinshan's reaction, he looked at Hu Jiuling behind him.

"What does Master Hu think?"

This morning, the Shen family's deed thrown out by King Ping's account caused a commotion in front of the Sun family, and the merchants of Qingcheng asked Hu Jiuling to come forward to administer justice. But something happened on the dock just now, and he didn't give an answer immediately when he was busy, but told the accounting office to talk about it later.

Now that the little marquis mentioned it vaguely, both of them know what he is talking about.

Without much thought, Hu Jiuling replied: "Although the Shen family's shop sold by King Ping was good, there were too many people who had no choice but to argue. Thanks to the trust of my colleagues, Tuohu came up with a charter. But for such a complicated matter, Hu didn't have a good way for a while. Thanks to the guidance of the Hou Ye, the one with the highest price will get it, and each will rely on his ability, such a fair method, all colleagues will be convinced. ā€

While saying this, Hu Jiuling also admired the intelligence of the little marquis, who was able to come up with such a wonderful method.

But Ah Yao, who was standing beside him, looked puzzled and auctioned ...... How these two words are so familiar.

In my memory, in my previous life, when the Salesian Bureau of Benzhou was facing the dilemma of not having three meals due to the delay in the imperial court's allocation of silver taels, Shen Moci, who was already an apprentice of Mo Da Confucianism at that time, stepped forward and auctioned some of his jewelry in Yunlai Lou publicly, and donated all the silver money to the Salesian Bureau. With this method, her reputation for benevolence in Qingcheng instantly spread throughout the state.

Since then, she has held auctions at several critical times, and finally the name of mercy has spread all over the world.

Although she had been living in the back house of the Hu family at that time, she had also heard about it. If she remembers correctly, the "auction" is Shen Moci's original method.

How could Brother Jing know?

Could it be that he is so talented, or is there some other reason.

Thinking of this, Ah Yao's pair of apricot eyes staring at the young man in Xuanyi next to Shen Jinshan, the whole person fell into thought. While she was thinking, Shen Jinshan, who was in shock because the treasury was quietly opened, finally came back to her senses.

"The gold and silver ...... in my Shen family's treasury"

"Isn't the storeroom empty?" Lu Jingyuan opened his eyes seriously and said nonsense.

Seeing that Shen Jinshan still wanted to quibble, he leaned over slightly, and the murderous aura around him condensed into a sharp needle, which poked directly at his head, "Could it be that Master Shen is cheating Ben Hou?" ā€

Deceiving the little marquis?

He is not only a little marquis, but also a messenger sent by the imperial court. Holding a gold medal arrow carved with a five-clawed golden dragon, as an angel, his every move represents the emperor.

The reason why he swore that the treasury was empty was entirely out of confidence in his own organs. It turned out that when designing the warehouse that day, in order to completely prevent someone from stealing it, he deliberately made a similar stone room next door. As long as the gesture is wrong, or someone forcibly breaks it open, it will bring him there. And in that room, there are only some worthless things.

I didn't expect that it would be difficult to prevent thieves day and night, and such a sophisticated mechanism would be mastered by Sun's slut. And Ah Ci, thinking of the key he handed over that time, he already understood the whole process.

This will understand that it is too late, the little marquis has found the real treasury, and he has already spoken. In the face of Hu Jiuling, he still dared to mess around, but now against the little marquis, even if he borrowed ten more guts, he would not dare.

Do you really give up this treasury full of gold and silver?

Thinking of this, Shen Jinshan's heart was dripping blood.

He felt sorry for the Wanguan family wealth he was about to lose, and he hated Shen Moci and the Sun family who caused the current situation. A sea of remorse hit him, and he felt a tightness in his chest, and then began to gasp for air.

"It's not good, my lord has an asthma attack."

"That's it."

Lu Jingyuan didn't care how heartbroken Shen Jinshan was, and after throwing down this sentence, he gestured to the secret guard behind him. Following his outstretched arm, a row of secret guards stood directly in front of the door of the warehouse, clenching their broadswords in a posture of guard, and the whole posture of completely taking over the warehouse.

"Those of you who are subordinates, don't help Brother Shen down quickly, and ask Lang Zhong to take care of him."

Hu Jiuling wrinkled his eyebrows, and his worried appearance made Steward Shen feel a little comforted in his heart-Master Hu was really benevolent.

In fact, he completely misunderstood, Hu Jiuling's worries were true, but what he was worried about was: In case Shen Jinshan really didn't come over in one breath and went like this, the white flags on the Shen family's side would hang out, and he would not be able to do the matter of dividing up the family property when people were crying and mourning.

Although he really wanted to make a big fuss about the mourning hall, just like Ah Yao said in his previous life, after he passed away in his previous life, the Shen family's dog-legged people did what they did to the Hu family, and returned it as it was. is different from the Shen family, he still wants face, just think about that kind of thing, if he is really allowed to do it, he will definitely not be able to do it.

Shen Jinshan must not have an accident!

With this kind of realization in his heart, he said to Steward Shen again: "Now that the Shen family is in a mess, I am afraid that some things are a little inconvenient. It just so happened that there was a ginseng in my Hu family's treasury, and it happened to be used to supplement Brother Shen. ā€

As he said, in Steward Shen's slightly puzzled gaze, Hu Jiuling walked directly outside, and instructed the Hu family who came with him to go back to the house and ask the Song family to come over with an old mountain ginseng.

These words happened to be heard by the people of Qingcheng who had gathered in front of the door and had not completely dispersed, and there was a moment of silence at the scene for a while. After the silence, many people were angry and puzzled, obviously Shen Jinshan was not a thing, why did Master Hu take care of him like this.

"Amitabha, God has the virtue of a good life. Lord Hu Shi is dedicated to goodness, and there will be good retribution in the future. ā€

Leaving for the west of the city early in the morning, Master Kukai, who was late to see a doctor for many poor people, including Su's father, arrived belatedly. Walking into the crowd, he recited the Buddha's name lightly, and looked at Hu Jiuling's eyes full of appreciation.

And his arrival also successfully calmed down the noisy atmosphere in front of the door, and after it quieted down, everyone mostly understood Hu Jiuling. After all, it is a human life, even if he does many evils, he can't bear to watch him die in front of him. Master Hu can put down the mustard and give precious medicinal materials, this kind of mind is indeed admirable.

In this way, Hu Jiuling, whose prestige increased again because of the charcoal, rose again in a short period of time.

Bathed in the adoring eyes of everyone, he raised his hands to make a quiet gesture, and took the opportunity to mention the little marquis yƬ again.

"Rest assured, after three days, the money to be raised, the money owed to everyone will be handed down. It is the busy season of spring silkworms, and it is inevitable that things will be missed if it is delayed like this, so you folks and elders should go back quickly. ā€

Did you really help them get the money?

Walking west in groups of three or two, these people in the market were still a little incredulous. During the discussion, soon the news that all the Shen family's property was to be auctioned soon spread throughout Qingcheng.

In front of the warehouse in the backyard of the Shen family, the secret guards were nervously sorting out the gold and silver.

Taking advantage of Hu Jiuling's efforts to go to the front yard to instruct his subordinates, Lu Jingyuan walked up to Ah Yao. This stupid girl has been staring at him with such a red fruit gaze since just now. He decided to be nicer to her.

"Go inside?"

As he approached, A-Yao's neck gradually lifted. The first time she looked at him so seriously, she found that Brother Jing was really good-looking. The heroic eyebrows, flying eyes, and the same delicate nose and mouth, the facial features that are so good to see, coupled with the indescribable nobility that can only be understood and cultivated since childhood in a wealthy family, really makes his whole person seem to come out of a book, so perfect that he does not seem to be born in this mortal world.

Even Shen Moci can think of a method, and it is not surprising that such an excellent brother Jing can come up with it.

So the question on his lips changed to a different way: "The auction method was thought up by Brother Jing?" ā€

What is this girl suspicious?

A touch of sharpness flashed in his heart, and soon Lu Jingyuan could discern the affirmation in her words.

He naturally knew about the auctions held by Shen Moci in his previous life, and he also knew that this girl should have heard of the big movement. In good conscience, Shen Moci does have a bit of dexterity, and he can often think of unexpected methods.

But so what? Who let her not have long eyes and dare to provoke her girl?

Thinking of Shen Moci, who was tortured to the point of not being able to survive in the valley before leaving in the middle of the night, he was slightly calm in his heart when he faced A-Yao.

"Well, let's go, go and see, take whatever you want."

……

Ah Yao was stunned for a moment, and only reacted after a while. Brother Jing, is this letting her choose at will in the Shen family's treasury?

"This ...... Not so good. ā€

"You are the ...... of this waiting" to the word "girl" on the side of her mouth turned around, "Senior sister, go quickly!" ā€

Brother Jing just called himself Ben Hou...... Ah Yao remembered that she was on the dock
