In the end, the Li family is only suitable for concubines, and they are only worthy of being other people's concubines, and they are not as decisive as Nalan Jin in terms of words and deeds.

Both of them walked to the door of the mansion, and Li felt that the decision was a little too hasty. Without a good discussion, he hurried to the wheat match to lure the people hiding in the dark.

After thinking about it, Li still gave up the idea of leaving with Nalan to go to the wheat match, turned around and ran back to the house.

"Little aunt, what are you doing?" Nalan Jin stretched out his hand to grab the fleeing Li Shi but pounced.

"Jin'er, I suddenly remembered that there is still something to deal with, let's talk about it later, I always feel a little immature, you go back and make a good total." Li had already slipped away as he spoke.

"Alas, little aunt, little aunt!"

Nalan Jin shouted behind him now, only to see that Li Shi was running faster. She had no choice but to sigh helplessly.

The loss of the workshop business did not stop because of this, because the losses of those small merchants and small households gradually increased and spread.

Some people even entangled some obscene villains and went to the door of the workshop to rob while they were on fire.

"Anyway, that's how your business is, it's better to sell us those things that you don't need cheaply, and you can recover a little money."

"It's just that I've been thinking about the workshop for a long time, and it's just right to expand my store."

"I'm not as greedy as you, I just want the business between Nalan Mansion and the army, and you can do the rest at will."

Everyone gathered outside the workshop, all of them proud, looking up at the once thriving workshop, but now there are many people. The ridicule of their discussions shows their dirty hearts.

"This is not greedy, the most useful thing in this workshop is the army's list, you are still worried, we all have a piece of the pie."

"Yes."

Nalan Jin hasn't stood up to speak yet, how to deal with the future of the workshop, these young people have planned the future for Nalan Jin clearly.

Some people even salivate, seeing how they will be rich in the future, holding a large pile of silver and spending all day long, living a free and comfortable life.

The losses of the workshop were all expected by Dongfang Yi, and he had thought about the way out in advance, so that he would not be overstretched.

The pandemic is followed by the pandemic, and so is business. A depression is followed by a series of side effects.

"I don't have to worry about the affairs of the workshop. As for the army's list, the burden that I can carry in Nalan Mansion is simple in your hands, and you may not have the ability to carry it. ”

Nalan Jin suddenly interrupted everyone's discussion. Their conversation was clearly heard by Nalan Jin, who was already standing behind him.

I thought that the silence would pass like this, but I didn't expect them to become more and more excessive, and Nalan Jin had no choice but to treat others in the way of others.

Everyone turned around in a panic and saw that it was Nalan Jin, quickly stepped aside, looked down at Nalan Jin quietly, and then they all shirked that they had something to do and left quickly.

Nalan Jin looked at the workshop

It's really a lot deserted, so I asked the shopkeeper to get the previous guy back and reopen the workshop.

When Dongfang Yi was sorting out the loss of the workshop, he found that there was a problem with the project that he had asked the housekeeper to handle before, and remembered what Liu Neng said that the housekeeper was secretly doing in the house.

felt that the housekeeper was very suspicious, so he called Liu Neng over.

"You said before that the housekeeper was processing things in the house?" Dongfang Yi is sure again.

"That's right, I also quietly went to check, and it is true, they ship the processed things out in batches." Liu Neng nodded affirmatively, "Do you want me to identify and catch him on the spot?" ”

Liu Neng has long seen that the housekeeper is not pleasing to the eye, relying on his identity as a housekeeper, he is careless about the slightly good-looking maids in the house, among which there is a girl that Liu Neng has always been good with.

So when Dongfang Yi asked him to monitor the housekeeper, he agreed without thinking about it.

"No, you keep an eye on him first, and when you see him carrying things out, tell me immediately, and when the time comes, we will give him personal stolen goods and get them, so that he will have no chance to talk back."

Can the housekeeper be there for so many years, flamboyant, left and right. It's always been his forte.

The dead can be said to be alive, and the black can be said to be white, and he will not admit what he has done unless there is ironclad evidence.

Liu Neng couldn't wait for the housekeeper to be caught by Dongfang Yi immediately, and then swept out of the house, and disappeared in Nalan Mansion from then on. So he stared at the butler every day, not letting go of the slightest thing.

Without the Li family, Nalan Jin couldn't do it alone. So I thought about asking a reliable subordinate in the house to help.

Qian Ba, who had helped the housekeeper buy matches before, got a lot of benefits from the housekeeper, so when he heard that Nanjing was also going to buy matches, he took the initiative to ask for it.

"Miss, I heard you're going to buy matches?" Qian Ba said obscenely.

"yes, what's wrong?" Nalan Jin was still a little puzzled when she saw Qian Ba suddenly appear in front of her.

"Well, I know a guy who sells matches, the quality is very good, and the main thing is that it is cheap, and it can be cheaper if I go to buy it. You see, if you can be trusted, leave it to me to buy matches. ”

Qian Ba looked at Nalan Jin with eyebrows, his unknown grinding bottom was all written in his eyes, and anyone who saw it knew that he wanted to get a little oil and water from it.

Nalan Jin thought that a person with such a character must usually make money transactions with the housekeeper. Giving it to him may be able to get unexpected rewards.

"That's fine, anyway, the recent workshop has made me a little free, just you go to do it, remember to buy five hundred catties, this is silver."

Nalan Jin threw the three hundred taels of silver that had been prepared long ago to Qian Ba. He was not prepared in his heart, Nalan Jin would give him so much money at once, and he flashed when he received the silver.

Qian Ba only has money in his eyes, and he is still as direct as he helped the housekeeper buy matches last time

Go to that third-rate shop outside the city.

"Boss, five hundred pounds of matches." Qian Ba threw down a silver ingot.

"Yo, do you want so many matches? It seems that there are a lot of them this time, so let's get some oil and water from them. The rough man said.

"Less nonsense, less your silver. What do you care about so much, hurry up and load the car for me, I'm still busy rushing back. Qian Ba urged while swallowing melon seeds.

"Well, right away, it's good luck."

While arranging the matches, Dahan muttered enviously, Qian Baxiao was able to get such an opportunity to collect money, and it was all a kind of luck.

Qian Ba drove the carriage back to the mansion, and according to Nalan's instructions before, he stacked the matches in the backyard first.

"Miss, I've bought it back." Qian Ba told Nalan Jin diligently.

"Well, it's hard work, go down and rest."

Nalan Jin carefully examined those matches and found that they were exactly the same as those pointed out in the Li family's account book, and they were exactly the same.

This made Nalan Jin can't help but suspect that there must be some kind of ulterior connection between this Qian Ba and the housekeeper.

Perhaps, the fire was handled by Qian Ba, or maybe it was him at all......

Nalan Jin felt scared when she thought about it, and she was even more resentful, if it was really Qian Ba and the housekeeper, she would definitely peel off her skin to comfort Nalan Zhen's spirit in the sky.

At this time, in Nalan Mansion, all kinds of ghosts and gods were rampant, and there was no one who could be trusted, Nalan Jin thought about it, so he could only find a few simple subordinates from his own courtyard and quietly follow Qian Ba.

Qian Ba is really a person as his name suggests, as long as there is money to attract, there is always his shadow.

Eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, he has everything.

In a few days, he spent all the money he had earned from Nalan Jin's blow, so he ran to the housekeeper's mansion every once in a while.

"What are you doing again?" The butler glanced impatiently.

"I didn't think that the housekeeper had something for me to do, and I was embarrassed to open my mouth, so I came." As soon as Qian Ba entered the door, he began to talk to the housekeeper.

As soon as the housekeeper saw Qian Ba's mercenary face, he knew that he didn't have any good intentions. Naturally, he didn't bother with him, and he was driven away by the housekeeper in three or two sentences.

Qian Ba was not convinced, and while the housekeeper was away, he remembered that the last time he saw the housekeeper put the silver on the side of the bed, he quietly rummaged through the house.

As a result, he was seen by the staring subordinates and told Nalan Jin.

Nalan Jin originally wanted to find an opportunity to search the housekeeper's housekeeper, but he couldn't find a suitable excuse, so he just used Qian Ba's excuse to search the housekeeper's house.

"Catch him!"

Nalan Jin pushed the door and shouted, and Qian Ba, who was rummaging, dropped the scattered silver that he had finally found to the ground in a panic, and looked at Nalan Jin with a frightened face.

By that, he was grabbed by the subordinates who rushed in and pressed in front of Nalan Jin.

"Miss, I didn't mean to." Qian Ba hurriedly explained.

"How could my Nalan Mansion

The person who stole it was actually stealing from the housekeeper's house, so in order to avoid any losses to the housekeeper, he had to search first. Nalan Jin deliberately pretended to be distressed.

Nalan Jin had arranged it in advance, and after entering the house, he must catch Qian Ba no matter what, so that he could not deny it on the spot, so that he would not give the housekeeper a chance to breathe.

"Miss, I didn't steal it, it was the housekeeper who asked me to get something, really Miss, I was wronged." Qian Ba kept defending himself.

But Nalan Jin didn't listen at all, and the people she brought with her turned the housekeeper's house upside down, but they didn't seem to find what she wanted.

The butler's henchman told him that Nalan Jin had searched his house, and he threw down what he was doing in a panic and hurriedly ran back.

Along the way, his heart beat faster, and he was nervous, afraid that what he couldn't see would be turned out by Nalan Jin.

What made the housekeeper even more puzzled was how Nalan Jin searched his house in a dignified manner, and there was no warning before.

Dongfang Yi learned that there was theft in the house, Nalan Jin took the opportunity to search the housekeeper's house, he was worried that the housekeeper's dog jumped over the wall in a hurry and it would be bad for Nalan Jin, so he rushed back to the house non-stop.
