"See Childe!" In the Ye Mansion Hall, everyone was excited, and bowed at the same time.

Ye Changsheng stood up and returned the salute with a smile.

During the days when he traveled, Sanshui Town never stopped, relying on the support of these old people and elites.

The old housekeeper Ye Zhong, the four great ministers, the two worshippers, Elder Lu, Feng Laokun, Ma Liming, Ye Xiaozhong, the backbone of the fleet and the Wenjian Hall, gathered together.

Several people from Taoyuan Village also came, the village chief Xin Wenxiong, the samurai captain Xin Wuguo, and the craftsman chief Xin Wuye, but they didn't see Xin Ruxin's sister.

The three of them were in good spirits, and when they saw their son again, they were still excited and couldn't help themselves.

More than 1,000 people in Taoyuan Village were all placed in Hongye Villa, and the environment was so good that Xin Wenxiong and his expectations were unexpected.

After consulting with the villagers, Xin Wenxiong sent the people from the original workshop to the Kendo Hall, and the samurai team was retained and was responsible for the defense of Momiji Mountain Villa.

I like to farm the land, I like to work, and there are a few idle workshops in the villa, and I can run it with a little equipment.

More than 1,000 people were all grateful to Ye Changsheng for his proper arrangements, as well as the warmth and friendliness of the Ye family.

If it weren't for Ye Changsheng's delay in coming back, they would have asked to be officially adopted by the Ye family.

Despite this, Xin Wenxiong and the others still did what they could to share the worries of the Ye family.

At the moment when they chose to be loyal to Ye Changsheng, the fate of the people of Taoyuan Village and the fate of the Ye family had long been tied together.

After the old housekeeper Ye Zhong reported on the general affairs of the Ye Mansion, Ma Liming, the chief manager of the Asking Sword Hall, introduced the situation of the Asking Sword Hall to Changsheng.

Although Wen Jiantang did not accept any more orders, the previous orders were enough for them to be busy.

However, as the rumors raged, Wenjiantang also ran into trouble.

Some businesses that originally allowed credit have asked for settlement, and each purchase can only be made in cash.

There are also some powerful people who simply cancel the original order, even those long swords that are about to be completed, they also break the contract.

Fortunately, Zixia Villa secretly helped a few handfuls, so that Wenjian Hall would not be unable to operate due to lack of funds.

Ye Changsheng's face was a little gloomy, he had expected that under the fierce pursuit of the Huang family, the life of Wen Jiantang and the Ye family would be difficult, but he didn't expect it to be so difficult.

He was still a little careless and underestimated the Huang family's hatred for him.

The next report was Ye Xiangdong, the two fleets he was in charge of, and the situation was not good.

Because of the seizure of the provincial river yamen last time, both fleets have been suspended so far.

There are more than 100 ships, and the cost of daily ship maintenance is a large expense, not to mention the wages of the shipwrights and the dock workers at the warehouses along the way.

Moreover, the suspension also caused the breach of contract, the Ye family lost a lot of money to several large merchants, and some customers of the original Ye family's fleet also switched to other places.

The losses of the Ye family's fleet can be described as heavy.

After Ye Xiangdong finished speaking, the entire hall fell silent, and everyone's faces became solemn.

Feng Laokun's injuries were not yet healed, one arm was hanging from the bandage, and he reported in detail the situation of the Sword Pavilion.

Needless to say, the shops in Sanshui Town are basically closed.

Originally, the people of Sanshui Town didn't have any concept of the Demon Gate, so they didn't think so, but as the rumors became more and more mysterious, they finally became a little scared.

It is rumored that in order to cultivate demonic skills, Ye Changsheng often secretly goes to mass graves to dig graves, and he also eats human flesh and uses children's hearts and livers to refine pills.

It is said that Ye Changsheng has to hug a skeleton every night when he sleeps, and his white hair is dyed white by the skeleton!

Today's ordinary people in Sanshui Town not only dare not pass by the door of Wenjian Pavilion and the Ye family, but even those who have seen the Ye family have to walk around.

Of course, they can't go around if they don't want to.

Feng Laokun said indignantly: "At the door of the Sword Pavilion, there are people sitting there every day, but whenever someone comes, they will say strange things, in the long run, who would dare to come to buy a sword!"

Not only did he ask the door of the Sword Pavilion, but he also asked the door of the Sword Hall, and in front of the main gate of the Ye Mansion, there were many ordinary people sitting in front of him every day.

These people are all the old people of the Red Leaf Villa, and many of them have died in the family, and they are disgusted that the Ye family did not compensate enough last time, and they want to ask for more.

Of course, if only it were that simple.

Ye Xiangxi said in a deep voice: "Son, the people behind the instigation are not only the Huang family, but also the Zhou family in the capital!"

The Zhou family in the capital?

Ye Changsheng was surprised, and suddenly remembered, isn't the Zhou family the cousins of the Hong family in Red Leaf Villa?

At the beginning of Jiaqiu in Sanshui Town, Zhou Lei colluded with bandits and tried to make Ye Changsheng a madman.

As a result, Ye Changsheng killed all the thieves and killed Zhou Lei as well.

Unexpectedly, the Zhou family in the capital would jump out at this time.

Ye Changsheng couldn't help but smile bitterly: "What other bad news?"

The old housekeeper Ye Zhong hesitated for a moment, and said truthfully: "Young master, the people of our family are not very safe when they go out now, but fortunately, there is Wenxiong here, so there is no accident." ”

Since several servants of the Ye Mansion were seriously injured one after another on the way to buy vegetables, Ye Zhong simply handed over the work of purchasing goods to the people of Taoyuan Village.

The people of Taoyuan Village are fresh faces, and this time they moved over, with the assistance of the officers and soldiers of the county guard, and the principality also sent an official of the Ministry of Rites to condole, so the Huang family did not dare to be too presumptuous.

Ye Changsheng's expression was gloomy, and his face immediately softened.

If he was just an ordinary person, just an ordinary craftsman, an ordinary businessman, and an ordinary manor owner, he would have been killed by the Huang family countless times.

It's a pity that he is not, and it is precisely because he is not that the Ye family has been able to support it until now, and there has been no big mess.

In the eyes of outsiders, the Ye family is stormy and embattled, but in Changsheng's eyes, the Ye family is more stable.

The big waves washed the sand, and this sudden wind and rain made the Ye family and Wenjiantang have many traitors, and some people chose to leave.

But those who choose to stay, and those who choose to be in the same boat, constitute the real skeleton of the Ye family.

With these people coming, what is there for Changsheng to complain about?

On the contrary, he should be glad.

Ye Changsheng slowly stood up and said solemnly: "Uncle Zhong, Old Feng, Old Ma." ”

"Old decay!" Ye Zhong, Feng Laokun, and Ma Liming stood up at the same time.

"From now on, Ye Mansion, ask the Sword Hall, ask the Sword Pavilion, the upper and lower people, etc., and even the horsemen and miscellaneous servants, all wear swords!"

"Yes!" the three old men were stunned and hurriedly took the order to retreat.

"To the south, to the north, Xinwu Kingdom!"

"The subordinates are here!" Ye Xiangnan, Ye Xiangbei, and Xin Wuguo stood up at the same time.

"Gather all the people on standby, whoever dares to touch the people of my Ye family, no matter who it is, will beat me back!"

The three samurai commanders were in high spirits and commanded loudly.

"To the west, to the east!"

"The subordinates are here!" Ye Xiangdong and Ye Xiangxi stood up at the same time.

"All those who owe me the Ye family's money, those who break the contract, whether they are in the town, the county town, or the provincial capital, whether they are officials or magnates, give me back the loss!"

Ye Xiangxi and Ye Xiangdong bowed down to receive the order.

Needless to say, Ye Xiangxi is in charge of the list, and Ye Xiangdong, who is full of rivers and lakes, is in charge of the accounts.

Ye Changsheng made some arrangements, and finally said, "Finally, spread a piece of news." ”

Looking at everyone, Ye Changsheng was cold: "This time, Huang Jingyun and the county competition of the principality, don't even think about passing the competition!"
