Xincheng Tongbao Qian Village, Long Live Mountain stepped in steadily, and said to the people on the counter: "Tell you Boss Yu to come out."

"Boss Yu is not here", the people at the counter looked at Banzai Mountain Road tremblingly.

Long Live Shan looked at their expressions, and felt more and more relieved in his heart, thinking that he was not less angry in this Tongbao Money Village.

"Where did you go to the boss?"

"He... He's gone to the government's office", the humane on the counter.

"What is he going to do in the government", Banzai Shan pondered and said to himself, "I said, he is in the same group as those bandits."

"How long has he been there"? Banzai Mountain raised his voice all of a sudden.

"Just gone", the humanity on the counter.

Long Live Shan turned around and went out of the door as soon as he heard this, looked in the direction where the official mansion was, and after seeing a figure, he hurriedly chased after him.

Wuji looked disdainfully in front of him, leaning down and motioning for him to sit down.

Long Live Mountain understood the meaning of Wuji, and it took a lot of effort to climb up, only to feel a gust of wind sweeping in his ears, and waves of screams sounded in his ears, and when he opened his eyes again, Boss Yu of Tongbao Qianzhuang was already sitting on the ground, and his face was pale with fright.

Long Live Mountain came down from Wuji, looked down at Boss Yu, who was usually high-spirited, and laughed a few times loudly: "Haha, I finally caught you."

Wuji bowed his head and walked back with his boss in his mouth, Banzai Mountain wanted to let Wuji carry him again, but Wuji didn't take care of him directly.

Xinhetang, Yan Ziyue tortured, and learned that the Tongbao Qianzhuang in Xincheng had long been in cahoots with the bandits, uniting the merchants and people who oppressed Xincheng, collecting protection money, robbing, and the illegal gains of the robbers were all entered into the Tongbao Qianzhuang, and the Tongbao Qianzhuang was then released to the merchants and the people, charging high interest. Boss Yu also confessed that there is a basement under the village before Tongbao, which is full of dirty things that have been robbed, and those that have not been able to be realized for a while are put there, and there is a secret passage in the basement leading to the outside of the city, and the dirty things are usually transported to other towns and converted into cash.

Yan Ziyue asked Boss Yu to go to Tongbao Money Village in person, and opened the basement, a room full of silver boxes, which were full of all kinds of yellow and white things, jade curiosities and valuable collections. Yan Ziyue asked you to carry all the things up, count them and register them, and hand them over to Steward Luo.

Yan Ziyue asked Steward Luo to go to the city lord of Xincheng to find the seal letter of the Kang Wangfu, inform Xincheng, and report a list of people who have lost their property to the government, clearly pointing out that if someone impersonates or falsely declares, once it is found that the heavy responsibility is fifty boards, it will be regarded as theft and will be punished in prison. When the people of Xincheng heard this, they all praised Wujimen, and even regarded them as saviors.

Three days later, the front of Tongbao Qianzhuang was dark and oppressive, all of them were people, and the government also specially sent people to stabilize the scene, and also invited many bookkeepers to be supervisors.

Yan Ziyue stayed in Xincheng for five days, re-elected a head of Tongbao Qianzhuang, and repeatedly explained that he could not be sloppy, and also gave a drawing of the interior of Qianzhuang, asking for this decoration.

In the past few days that Yan Ziyue has been here, Long Live Mountain has not been idle, and he has been busy every day, re-counting all the property under the Xinhe Hall, and changing and changing it according to Yan Ziyue's request, and at the same time, many bandits who were originally bandits have now decided to reform themselves and seek to join the Wuji Gate, and knelt outside the Xinhe Hall. With the consent of Yan Ziyue, Long Live Mountain selected and accepted some people as appropriate according to the situation and sent special personnel to educate and arrange the work.

In the past few days, Long Live Mountain has been unable to serve Yan Ziyue, and he can't wait to leave Yan Ziyue in Xincheng.

Before leaving, Yan Ziyue specially called Wan Sui Mountain to him, first suppressed and then raised, and then added a teaching of grace and power, so that Wan Sui Mountain was empowered, and he decided to be strict and self-disciplined from now on, work hard, and be a down-to-earth person.

When Yan Ziyue and the others left Xincheng, Butler Luo asked, "Young Master, in five days it will be the Chinese New Year's Eve, why don't we go back to King Kang's Mansion first."

"Okay, let's go back first."

The group hurried back to Fengdu.

King Kang's Mansion has been newly decorated by Meng Niang and others, and it is full of lights everywhere, full of joy. As soon as Yan Ziyue and the others entered the house, they felt a strong New Year's flavor, and sure enough, they still felt good about going home.

Wuji's entry into King Kang's Mansion also caused a commotion, to be precise, it has been attracting people's attention since he entered Fengdu City.

Wuji seemed to like the atmosphere of King Kang's Mansion very much, and he was happy to jump around. One day, the people in King Kang's Mansion were all mixed with Wuji, and when it was just a pet, he teased it and fed it all kinds of food, Wuji was not picky, and he ate everything.

As soon as Yan Ziyue sat down, she came.

"Father-in-law...", Yan Ziyue greeted him very happily, but seeing that she hadn't seen her for less than a month, she felt that she was a lot haggard, her eyes were gray, her face was dull, and there was always a strong melancholy.

"Father-in-law, what's wrong with you"?

He seemed to have something to say, but he didn't know how to speak, so in the end he didn't say anything and went back directly.

Yan Ziyue looked uncomfortable, so she secretly went to the Great Si Ming Palace to find Fan Zhangshi and asked, and Fan Zhangshi didn't know much, but told Yan Ziyue that it seemed to be because of the money.

Yan Ziyue was very puzzled, is the Great Si Ming Palace short of money, even if it is short of money, why would he toss it like this.

After Yan Ziyue returned home, she handed over to Steward Luo and asked Shen Taitang to investigate, to find out clearly and clearly.

On the second day, Yan Ziyue specially called Steward Luo to sort out the affairs of Tongbao Money Village in various places.

"Young Master, we have collected eleven branch halls in these days, rectified eleven Tongbao Money Villages, and brought back one hundred and eighty-nine shops, plus the nineteen branch halls and twenty-two Tongbao Money Villages that originally belonged. Nowadays, there are 31 branches under Wujimen, with a total of 612 shops, and a total of 33 Tongbao Qianzhuang plus semicolons. ”

"How many are still out there and not reclaimed"?

"There are also five branches, six branches of Tongbao Qianzhuang, and one hundred and two shops."

"Hmm...", Yan Ziyue nodded, thinking about how to manage such a huge asset and scattered all over the place.

"Young master, in addition, the income of each branch this year has been handed over, plus the omissions of previous years, this is the account book reported by the head office of Tongbao Qianzhuang, please see", Steward Luo said and handed the account book to Yan Ziyue.

Yan Ziyue took it, flipped through it, and was a little surprised when she saw the numbers on the last page, there were actually 24.37 million taels together, and the Donglongtang of the East Dragon City in the Middle East accounted for the chief, with more than 4.6 million taels of silver.

"Are these true"? Yan Ziyue couldn't believe it.

"Young master, it's true, according to their own circumstances, each branch has handed in the missing ones in the past ten years, and the missing ones have been handed in."

"Why did they suddenly become well-behaved"?

"Young Master, today's Wujimen is not what it used to be, and all branches are convinced and sincerely united, which is why there is such a move."

Yan Ziyue smiled with some satisfaction when she heard this, and then asked, "Is this number much?"

Steward Luo hesitated for a while and said: "When the prince is here, the maximum amount handed over by each branch in a year is more than 10 million taels, and after the prince leaves, it decreases every year, and then at the least, the amount collected in a year is less than one million taels."

"These are ten years of arrears, it seems that there are still not many," Yan Ziyue said.

"At that time, all the branches were profitable, but now there are three branches that are loss-making, the other two branches are flat, and the remaining 26 branches are in surplus. I have made up the deficit to them in my own hands, and I have deducted it from the total."

"Okay, I know", Yan Ziyue looked at the general ledger of Tongbao Qianzhuang thoughtfully.

"Young master, the detailed accounts of each branch hall have also been delivered, and all thirty-one halls are here, please take a look."

"Okay, you can get busy first, I'll take a look."

"Yes, young master", Steward Luo looked at Yan Ziyue, who had already concentrated on checking the accounts, and gently retreated, took the door and looked up at the sky: "Lord Wang, where are you, although the young master is young, he is already capable of taking charge on his own, I believe that in a few years, I can also rest."

On this day, Yan Ziyue read the account books in the study and didn't return to Xingyue Pavilion until late at night.

On the second day, Steward Luo said that he had found out what the predicament that Yan Li was encountering now, and told Yan Ziyue the ins and outs of the matter.

After hearing this, Yan Ziyue couldn't help but laugh.

"Steward Luo, you said this, should I interfere in this matter"?

"The subordinates dare not say it".

"You name it, I won't blame you".

"Young master, as far as the country is concerned, the young master should be in charge as a princess. But at this time, the state is in charge, and if the princess intervenes, she is afraid that it will be thankless, and in the end she will give someone a handle. However, if the princess only wants to help the high priest out of her own heart, first, to repay the high priest's kindness, and second, to remember the high priest's father-daughter affection, it is naturally okay."

"Hmm...", Yan Ziyue nodded slightly.

"But... Young master, his subordinates feel that it is too much, the high priest solves all the problems at once, and King Qi is afraid that he will also be suspicious, so I am afraid that ... Young master, the hearts of the people in the world are sinister, and there are many people who spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, please beware of the young master".

"Butler Luo, thank you, I see."

After Steward Luo left, Yan Ziyue couldn't calm down in the study for a long time, she was already related to King Kang's Mansion and Wujimen, sharing honor and disgrace, and her dual identity was indeed very delicate, if she didn't think about it or made a mistake, it would lead to irreparable consequences. Unless, one day in the future, I will inherit the throne and become the princess of Huofeng, family affairs are state affairs, and I will bear them by myself, so naturally I don't have to be so clear.

Yan Ziyue thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to temporarily hide from Zhan Li that he was already the master of Wuji Gate, and this matter was handed over to Steward Luo, so he would do it according to the situation in previous years, and he only needed to solve the urgent need of Zhan Li.

The next day, Yan Ziyue called Steward Luo to the study and asked him to come forward to deal with the current predicament of Zhan Li, and help as much as possible.

Steward Luo took Yan Ziyue's explanation, followed the usual practice and went to the Dasi Ming Palace to find Yan Li, and concealed that Yan Ziyue did not know about this matter, but only according to King Kang's previous confession.
