In the end, Jian Nanbo couldn't stand these difficult creditors, so he had no choice but to promise them to repay the debt in advance.

The time to repay the debt is the day when the debt of Evergreen Money Bank is due.

After the creditors got Jian Nanbo's promise, they dispersed.

Earl's Court, Council Hall.

Chen Ruoxi looked at the earl and said worriedly: "Father-in-law, is it true that Nalan Hesheng said that Xue Tu is terminally ill and that Shengyuan Qian Zhuang has suspended the business that has been negotiated recently?"

Du Shi also stared at his husband closely.

"I don't know!"

Jian Nanbo shook his head: "Later, I will go to Jiannan City to ask Yuan Chushan's treasurer, and I can confirm the authenticity." ”

"Then husband, go quickly, my heart is up and down, and I can't sleep well!" Du Shi hurriedly urged.

Jian Nanbo nodded, and immediately set off to Jian Nan City to find Yuan Chushan, the shopkeeper of Shengyuan Qianzhuang.

Jiannan City, Shengyuan Qian Village.

"Jian Nanbo, you came just in time, I was just about to go to you!" As soon as Chen Nan entered the Qian Village, Yuan Chushan stepped forward and said.

Looking at his face, it is a little unsightly.

Chen Nan asked, "What does Shopkeeper Yuan want to do with me?"

"It's about Xue Tu, the big shopkeeper of the Southwest Branch of the Jin Kingdom of Shengyuan Qianzhuang!" Yuan Chushan said.

When Jian Nanbo heard this, his heart chuckled, and his body trembled.

Could it be that something happened to Xue Tuzhen?!

"What's wrong with Shopkeeper Xue?"

"Jian Nanbo, I just got the news from the general number, saying that the shopkeeper Xue suddenly fell seriously ill a few days ago and passed out in a coma.

Therefore, Da'an City has been suspended, and all foreign business negotiations have been suspended.

I'm afraid that the exclusive agency of mechanical clocks can only be delayed.

Wait until Xue Tu's condition improves, or wait for the next treasurer to take office, before he can continue!" Yuan Chushan explained.

When Jian Nanbo heard the news, his whole heart was cold.

Could it really be that the heavens are going to kill my Earl of Jiannan?!

Bidding farewell to Yuan Chushan, Chen Nan returned to the Earl's Court.

Du Shi and Chen Ruoxi saw Chen Nan's dejected look, and hurriedly went up to the wall to ask.

Jian Nanbo did not hide it, and informed Du and his righteous daughter about Xue Tu's terminal illness.

When Du Shi heard the news, he was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and tears couldn't stop flowing.

Chen Ruoxi was speechless for a long time.

......

Castle Lord's Mansion.

Lin Tao, the county guard, sat in front of the chessboard, drinking tea and playing alone.

At this time, the city lord Zhou Feng walked in with a smile on his face.

"City Lord Zhou, is there something wrong?" Lin Tao didn't reply.

Zhou Feng said with a smile: "Lord Qiyu County Shou, early this morning, Lan Hesheng went to the Earl's Mansion with a group of creditors, which made Uncle Jiannan angry.

Not long after, Jian Nanbo went to Shengyuan Qianzhuang in Jiannan City again, and learned that Xue Tu was terminally ill and that the Shengyuan Business Alliance had suspended business negotiations with foreign countries.

It's so relieving, now, the Earl of Jiannan's Mansion should be filled with an aura of despair!

The subordinates are here, and I wish the county guard in advance to destroy the Earl of Jiannan's mansion, and make steady progress and prosperous official luck!"

When Lin Tao heard this, he picked up slightly: "Okay, I know, you go down!"

"Yes, the subordinates are retired!"

Zhou Feng left, and Lin Tao continued to play chess.

What Zhou Feng reported just now was all within his expectations.

With Zhao Qingshan, the former master of the Ten Thousand Poison Valley, Xue Tu will definitely die, Chen Lingxiao and Xue Tu don't want to negotiate anything!

After a game of chess, Lin Tao stood up, looked out the window, and secretly said in his heart:

"The death knell of the Earl's Mansion in Jiannan has officially sounded, and it will be completely destroyed in a few days.

The battle of the Earl's Mansion in Jiannan was successful, and I can be regarded as repaying the kindness of the governor of southern Xinjiang.

At that time, Your Majesty will reward me and the Governor of Southern Xinjiang heavily, and my official rank will be promoted to another level.

In order to enter the core of the royal court in the future, prepare for the entry and exit of the generals. ”

Thinking of this, Lin Tao was in a good mood, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

In the next few days, a bombshell news spread throughout Lingnan County.

The Earl of Jiannan's Mansion owes a huge debt of more than 600,000 gold coins, which is about to expire and cannot be repaid.

If you want to pay off your debts, you can only take out assets such as Earl's Castle, salt mines, restaurants, and rouge workshops to pay off your debts.

Without a castle and without a source of income, how can you raise a private army?

The fall of the Earl's Mansion in Jiannan is a foregone conclusion.

For a while, the other nobles in Lingnan County all sighed, and they also felt cold.

Jian Nanbo really fell, and the other nobles were even more powerless to resist the New Deal.

As time goes on, the news will spread even further.

All this was deliberately done by Lin Tao.

......

On this day, a caravan marched to the Earl's Castle.

This is the return of Sky Chen.

He lifted the curtains, jumped down, and stretched.

It's better to go home comfortably!

The private army guarding the gate hastened to report to the earl.

"Xiao'er is back, let's go out and greet us!"

When Du learned of his son's return, he was about to run out.

Chen Ruoxi was also ready to go out.

Chen Nan hurriedly stood up and said to Du Shi and Chen Ruoxi, "Wait!"

"What's wrong?" Du Shi stopped and looked at his husband suspiciously.

Chen Ruoxi also looked at her father-in-law.

Jian Nanbo said worriedly:

"Xiao'er did her best to solve the debt crisis of the Earl's Court.

We can't let him be sad that he didn't negotiate a deal and bring back the money, and everyone should stop crying and saddening.

I'm afraid of Xiao'er, I can't bear the blow, my brain can't turn, and I jump into the well to do stupid things like last time!"

After all, Sky Chen is a person with a criminal record, and none of the three of them want to lose him again.

"Yes!"

Du Shi said, and the decadence on his face faded and was replaced by a smile.

Chen Ruoxi, who was originally cold and unrestrained, at this moment, the corners of her thin lips were also pulled to both sides, and a rare smile appeared, which was extremely bright and moving.

Jian Nanbo glanced at his wife and daughter-in-law, tidied up his clothes, and smiled.

Then, the three of them left the hall together and walked towards the door to greet Chen Lingxiao.

"Xiao'er, you're back, you're tired, go eat something, wash and rest!" When he came to the door, Du Shi saw that his son had returned safely, and stepped forward with a smile and said with concern.

Chen Nan smiled: "Ling Xiao, go and rest, don't say anything else, I know you've done your best!"

"Ling Xiao, as long as our family is well, we don't have to worry about running out of firewood, and we will have a chance to make a comeback in the future!" a light smile appeared on the corner of Chen Ruoxi's mouth.

The words of the three made Chen Lingxiao stunned.

"What's wrong with you?" Chen Lingxiao looked at his parents and sister-in-law.

He could clearly feel that the smiles on the faces of the three of them were a little abnormal.

"It's nothing, Ling Xiao, you don't have to say anything, we all know it. ”

Jian Nanbo patted his son's shoulder and said, "Go eat something and take a break, my father is proud of you!"

"Xiao'er, you don't have martial arts blood, and your body is weak.

Da'an City is running back and forth non-stop, and he must be tired.

Rest early after eating, and wait for other things to rest well, and then talk slowly!" Du Shi also stepped forward.

Chen Ruoxi's beautiful eyes, reflecting a soft light, looked at her brother-in-law: "Ling Xiao, listen to your father-in-law!"

"What are you doing...... Okay, I'll go eat first!"

Chen Lingxiao saw that the three of them were strange, he must have hidden things in his heart, and he didn't want to say it, and his stomach was really hungry, so he was ready to eat first.

People are iron, rice is steel!

After eating, ask them what happened.

When he came to the restaurant, the maid served delicious side dishes such as cooked Dongpo meat and fried vegetables, and Chen Lingxiao became big.

Several loyal cooks in the Earl's Court have been trained and their cooking skills have improved, and they can already cook dishes such as Dongpo meat.

Du Shi, Chen Nan, and Chen Ruoxi also accompanied Chen Lingxiao to the restaurant, and seeing him eat so deliciously, the worries in the hearts of the three of them were also put down a lot.

I can eat, and if I can sleep again, it should be fine.

After Chen Lingxiao finished eating, he wiped the grease on the corner of his mouth and said:

"Daddy, Ruoxi, don't hide it from me, is there something you want to tell me?"

Jian Nanbo, Du Shi, and Chen Ruoxi, you look at me, I look at you, in the end, it was Jian Nanbo who smiled and spoke:

"Xiao'er, this time the shopkeeper Xue Tu is terminally ill and can't complete the transaction with us, and I don't blame you for this matter. In two days we moved out of the castle and abandoned the salt mines.

As long as our family is complete, as Ruoxi said, 'stay in the green mountains without worrying about no firewood', we still have a chance to make a comeback, don't be sad!"

When Chen Lingxiao heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry: "Who told you that I didn't complete the deal?"

"It's Lan Hesheng, the big shopkeeper of the southwest branch of Evergreen Qianzhuang!" Du Shi answered.

"Lan Hesheng that old dog, let the fucking shit go!"

Chen Lingxiao didn't expect those people to be so shameless, and they also started psychological warfare, making their parents and righteous sisters uneasy.

He cursed, took out a handful of golden tickets from his pocket, put them on the table with a snap, and said:

"Daddy, Ruoxi, look at what this is!"
