"Zhang Ren, I'll call you brother at the end." Steward Lin looked at the humble-looking person with a gloomy face, and didn't need to ask more, this is the official steward of the Anyang branch of Splendid Villa: "I am a native of Anyang, since you came over, you touch your chest and ask, is it me teaching you by hand, is it that I do my best to assist every time?" In the end, what happened to me? ”

"The development of Anyang Branch Hall is good, and all the credit is yours; The development of the Anyang branch is not good, and the Qu family blames me for not being able to assist well! Ask yourself, how much have we benefited over the years? I am in charge of a branch hall, and outsiders look at the infinite scenery, but there are only five taels of silver every month, where do I put my face when it is spread! Steward Lin sneered: "If there is no silver to pass by, it will be forgotten, but the brothers have not made half a cent of snowflake silver for a few hundred taels of silver every month!" ”

"A gentleman loves money, and he takes it in the right way! Those are all the silver coins of Splendid Villa, and you and I are not qualified to touch them! Zhang Ren was righteous and awe-inspiring, and retorted sharply.

"Not eligible?" A fierce light flashed in Steward Lin's eyes: "Don't say it, let's just say that last month, the Anyang branch deducted the daily expenses, and there were five hundred and seventy-three taels of silver left, but the day before yesterday, I asked Luo Yuan about the situation of the villa, and she told me that only the Anyang branch was the worst, and I only handed over one hundred and seventy-three taels of silver last month, and the remaining three hundred taels, where did I go?" ”

"You doubt me?" Zhang Ren's face turned red.

"The facts are there, and you can reconcile them at any time!" Steward Lin said hatefully: "I just didn't expect that Steward Zhang, who has always been acting in front of people and abiding by the law, and thinking about the villa turned out to be the biggest moth!" These two months are the off-season for flowers, and you dare to hide three hundred taels of silver privately, if you put it in the peak season...... Tsk, you have at least five thousand taels of silver this year! ”

"If you take out some of the silver and give it to your brothers, it's okay, but you have to pretend to be high! You say, how I don't hate, how I don't get angry! Steward Lin grabbed Zhang Ren's collar and squirted saliva on his face.

"The sky can be seen, Zhang has a clear conscience about the Qu family!" Zhang Ren raised his head, his face fearless.

"A good one with a clear conscience, forget it, I have nothing to say to you, a dying person." Steward Lin pinned Zhang Ren to the ground, and his eyes looked through the crack in the wall: "Minister Qin, since you have heard it clearly on the side, let's come out and have a good chat." ”

As soon as Steward Lin's words came out, Miyamoto Ximu was suddenly alert, and Chen Heming, who was paralyzed on the ground, had a slight look of expectation in his eyes, as for Cheng Yanran, he didn't say anything special from beginning to end, obviously he had already known that Qin Baichuan had arrived.

"Sir." Behind the earthen house, the monkey was already ready for bloody fighting, and the whole person was like a sharp sword out of the sheath.

Behind the monkey, Qin Baichuan covered Xue Shihan's mouth, no matter how talented this girl is, she is always a weak woman, the bloody scene of Miyamoto Nishiki killing Li Jian's bodyguard scared her soul, if Qin Baichuan hadn't hugged her in time, I don't know what drastic moves she would have made.

"Let's go." The moment Steward Lin appeared, Qin Baichuan knew that his whereabouts must have been exposed, and in the spirit of the mentality that he would be safe when he came, he was calm.

The monkey was even more fearless, leading the way with a dagger, while Qin Baichuan helped Xue Shihan to walk a few steps, and only then did she let go of her hand when she regained some strength a little.

In front of the earthen house is a dilapidated courtyard, the courtyard is lined with many large vats, and next to the vats hang stacks of crumpled paper, which is the same material as the paper that Cheng Yanran used to pass on the book to Qin Baichuan.

Qin Baichuan squinted his eyes and looked at it, and there were four Dongying ronins in black standing in the earthen house, all of them were gloomy and murderous, obviously inconsistent with the news conveyed by Li An of the coastal army.

"Brother Qin......" Under the escort of the monkey, Qin Baichuan Shi Shiran walked in, and Chen Heming, who had a heart of death these days, didn't know where he got the strength, and he was full of joy and sorrow.

"Brother, I'm sorry." Qin Baichuan didn't have much personal feelings for Chen Heming, but when he was in the Splendid Villa, he did a lot of things for him, and seeing that he was originally a personable scholar but fell to such a point, Qin Baichuan instantly ignited a murderous intention.

"Brother Qin......" Qin Baichuan's eyes were sincere, with a strong look of self-reproach on his face, Chen Heming had mixed feelings in his heart, and for a while, tears fell like rain, and he couldn't cry.

"Fucking shit, shit!" Chen Heming's current mentality is probably not understandable, everyone did not speak, but Li Jian's angry scolding came from the side: "Dignified man, his head has a scar the size of a bowl, why are you crying!" Mother, surnamed Qin, Lao Tzu was miserable by you! ”

"Someone else harmed you, not me." Qin Baichuan turned his head to look at Li Jian, said lightly, and snorted lightly: "Monkey, go and bring Chen Heming over." ”

"Yes!" The other party's soldiers are strong and strong, looking at the form in front of them, Qin Baichuan and the three of them almost died in their lives, and they didn't dare to act rashly at all, but Qin Baichuan ignored these, the monkey was even more tendon, and before Qin Baichuan's words fell, his whole person rushed out like light smoke.

"Baga!" Miyamoto Nishiki tensed his muscles as soon as the monkey came in, and the bloodstained katana in his hand swept away, jumping out to fight the monkey.

"Go back." Miyamoto Nishiki had just made a move, and Cheng Yanran's long sword stopped him again.

"Humph!" Miyamoto Nishiki seemed to be quite jealous of Cheng Yanran, and snorted coldly and didn't dare to move again.

"Minister Qin, it seems a little unreasonable to take someone away before he has spoken." Steward Lin didn't know where to pull out a scimitar commonly used by businessmen and laid it across Chen Heming's neck.

"I respect you for doing a lot of things for Splendid Villa, call you a manager, I respect you for your age, call you Limbo, but don't think that I really don't dare to let people kill you." Qin Baichuan's eyes flashed with murderous intent: "Use Chen Heming's life to force me to comply?" You've miscalculated! Now that you are outnumbered and have a winning ticket in your hands, we will be killed on the spot if we are not careful, yes or no? In this case, even my life may be lost at any time, will I still be afraid of Chen Heming? Now bring Chen Heming over, we still have time to talk, if you dare to stop it, before I and the monkey are killed, we can kill you no matter what! ”

"Oh?" Steward Lin seemed to be smiling on the surface, but he was also thinking in his heart. Qin Baichuan was right, although they were already a mortal situation today, Qin Baichuan's thin subordinates must not be underestimated. The so-called poor dog bites people, if they are forced to hurry, they will also be in danger.

"Monkey!" Steward Lin felt like a clown who jumped off the beam, doing something that could not be put on the stage, he hesitated, but Qin Baichuan did not have such good patience, and his voice suddenly increased a few points.

The monkey stretched out his tongue and licked the dagger, and was about to rush up desperately, but heard Cheng Yanran speak: "Steward Lin, before the new order is issued, Qin Baichuan's people can't be killed." Give them people and they won't fly out of Yellowstone. ”

"Since Miss Qingchuan has spoken, the old man can't help but obey." Cheng Yanran gave him a step, and Steward Lin got off the donkey and withdrew the scimitar.

Chen Heming took a deep breath, crawled out of the ground and rolled a few meters, and finally joined the monkey, who held his arm with one hand and a dagger in the other, and slowly retreated.

"Good brother, rest for a while." Qin Baichuan took out the short knife he had prepared before from his body, cut the rope on Chen Heming's body, and patted him on the shoulder hard.

"Brother Qin......" Although he did not escape from the danger, he finally saw his relatives at this time, Chen Heming was filled with joy and sorrow for a while, and fainted straight back.

"Master Xue, this person is left to you to take care of." Qin Baichuan put Chen Heming on the ground, took two steps forward with the monkey, and sneered: "Miss Cheng, someone Qin has done a lot of calculations, but I didn't expect that the person who kidnapped Chen Heming turned out to be you." ”

Cheng Yanran looked at Qin Baichuan with complicated eyes, and said lightly: "Mr. Qin, the concubine admires you so much, and you wronged me like this?" Chen and Zhang are not the masterminds, in short, they have different positions, and there are many helpless things to do. ”

"Don't say these words to coax children, Cheng Yanran, what do you want?" Qin Baichuan just sneered, and Xue Shihan, who had checked Chen Heming's snort and confirmed that he was fine, didn't know where he got the courage, although there was fear on his face, he still reprimanded sharply.

"Do what you are told." Cheng Yanran was ashamed of Qin Baichuan, but she was not afraid of Xue Shihan and raised her eyebrows.

Xue Shihan's eyes erupted, Qin Baichuan licked his lips, although Cheng Yanran's words were not much, but in connection with the half-truths and half-truths she said to Qin Baichuan before, it was completely certain that Cheng Yanran was not the mastermind of the whole thing.

Xue Shihan wanted to say more, but Qin Baichuan spoke first: "Kidnapping Chen Heming and the others but not killing them, it seems that your purpose is to attract the attention of Splendid Villa, and then attack the high-level officials sent by Splendid Villa to investigate this matter; borrowed my name and cooperated with other means to deceive Li Jian, and it seems that he has the intention of dealing with the coastal army...... Oh, if you say that, Cheng Yanran, the ambition of the master behind you is not small. ”

Cheng Yanran bowed her head and was silent, Miyamoto Nishiki stared at Qin Baichuan with cold eyes, but it was Manager Lin who said something cool: "I just said that Minister Qin was resourceful, but on the premise of not having any evidence, he guessed the matter!" I don't know anything else, I cooperated with Miss Cheng to attract Quxi, but I didn't expect it to be you, the ghost of the dead, who sent it to the door! ”

"Steward Lin, between you and me is an internal matter of the Splendid Villa, you also deliberately leaked the fact that Zhang Ren embezzled the money of the Villa just now, if what you said is true, Zhang Ren will definitely be sent to the official for investigation, and then the position of the head of the Anyang Branch of the Splendid Villa will be yours." Qin Baichuan glanced at Steward Lin and said seriously.

"I think Xue Fuzi's words are right, don't say these words to coax children, it's meaningless!" Steward Lin said disdainfully.

"Qin someone speaks, and he says nothing." Qin Baichuan was a little impatient: "I will give you one last chance now, choose to stand on my side, and all the promises I made will be fulfilled; Continue to help the abuse, and want to be unfavorable to the Splendid Villa, I will peel off your skin. ”

Although Qin Baichuan didn't know the slightest bit of martial arts, when he said this, there was an unstoppable determination in his voice, and Manager Lin trembled unconsciously, and he was speechless.
