At this time, someone who was handling affairs in Aofeng Fort sneezed several times in a row, causing Shangguan Li, who was reporting to him on the side, to look at him worriedly, he put down the account book in his hand and said with concern, "Ah Ming, your injuries are okay?"

Xuanyuan's thin lips did not rise, and a deep voice sounded, "I'm fine"

The words turned.

"How's that going?"

Knowing that Xuanyuan Ming was talking about him being hunted down, Shangguan Li's expression immediately became serious, "Ah Ming, I traced it according to the evidence you provided, and found the killer organization, and when I was about to follow the investigation, the other party seemed to be aware of our intentions, unilaterally cut off contact, and destroyed all the clues, leaving me with no trace" After saying that, Shangguan Li's face sank, and then said, "He seems to know our whereabouts, and he can always eliminate the traces before us, is there a spy in the fort." "He didn't want to be so suspicious, but it was what it was.

He wanted to say that he could investigate Xuanyuan Zhi, but the words came to his mouth but he didn't say it.

Hearing this, Xuanyuan's deep eyes shone through a dangerous light.

"Ah Li, you first arrange for people to pay close attention to the situation in the fort, and pay attention to any disturbances" Xuanyuan Ming stood up, looking up at the dim and low sky, his thin lips outlined a trace of arc, "It's the fox that always shows its tail"

"Well, yes, I'll pay attention" Shangguan Li also showed a smile on his face.

However, thinking of the news from the people below, Shangguan Li's face was not good-looking, he picked up the account book on the table and handed it to Xuanyuan Ming, and said angrily, "Look at this, these account books are the situation in the past few months, and the profits recorded in the teahouses, restaurants, and cloth villages in the days of your disappearance have dropped by half compared with the past, but according to my investigation, the number of customers has not decreased." ”

"Hmph, I want to know that these silver taels are greedy by them, and the three of them are colluding. I see that these old guys have been in the days when you have been missing, and strange thoughts have come out," Shangguan Li snorted coldly.

He had long seen that these old guys were not pleasing to the eye, when Ah Ming's parents had just had an accident, these guys made trouble everywhere, wanting to divide the property of Aofeng Castle, and finally under Ah Ming's sharp and cold methods, they stopped.

If it weren't for Ah Ming's old man when they followed his uncle and aunt, how could he allow them to be powerful.

"It seems that their hearts are big, and Aofeng Castle can't accommodate them" Xuanyuan frowned when he heard this, and there was a hint of danger in his faint voice.

He gave them a chance.

"Someone Coming"

The "castle master" came respectfully and replied.

"Go and invite the stewards of the teahouse, the restaurant, and the cloth house." Xuanyuan Ming emphasized the word please.

"Yes, Castle Master." The man took the order, bowed, and retreated.

Shangguan Li had a warm smile on his face again, and sat on the chair waiting to see a good show.

After a while, the three of them looked at each other in Aofeng Castle, with a slightly frightened expression on their faces, after learning that Xuanyuan Ming had returned, they felt that things were not good, and they were panting at home all day, and when they learned that Xuanyuan Ming had sent someone to invite them, they also resisted, but it was useless.

Walking on the majestic path of Aofeng Castle, the warm summer sun shone on the three of them, but they did not feel any warmth.

The steward of the teahouse whispered in the ear of the steward of the restaurant in the middle, "Steward Li, what do you say the castle lord is looking for us?"

Steward Li's honest face glanced at him, and asked rhetorically, "What's the matter, don't you know in your heart?" Zheng shopkeeper's. ”

Hearing this, the tone of the shopkeeper Zheng was a little anxious, "You can't be like this, you and the shopkeeper Wang are acting according to your intentions, you can't shirk your responsibility."

The king's shopkeeper on the side also chimed in.

"Idiot, as long as we don't admit this matter, he has no evidence of Xuanyuan Ming." Shopkeeper Li had a straight face, his small eyes narrowed slightly, and he said in a low voice, "It's going to be fine." ”

After that, the three of them had come to the main hall, and when they raised their eyes, Xuanyuan Ming was sitting on top and looked at them coldly, and they couldn't help but shudder.

The other two glanced at Steward Li.

Shopkeeper Li rolled his eyes for a moment, stepped forward and saluted respectfully, and the folds of the smile on his face were piled together, "Castle Master, I don't know what you are looking for us."

His posture was low.

Shangguan Li sat on the chair next to him and looked at them with interest, these old guys are quite thick-skinned, I don't know if they can stay calm after a while.

Shopkeeper Li, who couldn't get an answer for half a sound, changed his face slightly.

The cultivation of Shopkeeper Wang and Shopkeeper Zheng next to him had not yet arrived at home, and Shopkeeper Wang's face became angry, and his voice raised and asked, "Castle Master, what do you mean by this, we have also watched you grow up since childhood, and how much contribution has you made to Aofeng Castle, without us, there would be today's Aofeng Castle." ”

They threatened Xuanyuan with their past kindness.

Hearing this, Xuanyuan Ming raised his cold eyes and stared at the shopkeeper Wang, making him unconsciously take a step back, and the words he was going to say were also held back.

"I'm looking for you today, I think you know it in your hearts," Xuanyuan Ming's slender fingers tapped on the table one by one, his narrow eyelids drooped slightly, and he asked in a calm and powerful voice.

Invisible pressure rushed over them, causing them to stiffen slightly.

Shopkeeper Li, who was the first to come back to his senses, gave them a vague look, "Castle master, I guess you are talking about the decline in profits in the past few months."

Without waiting for Xuanyuan Ming to answer, he explained with a sad expression on his face: "Castle Master, it's all because we are not good, and some of the recent mismanagement will lead to bad business. ”

When the shopkeeper Wang heard this, he immediately said anxiously, "Yes, yes, castle master, it is normal for the business of this cloth village to be good and bad, and it is normal for profits to decline." You have to tolerate us, we work hard for Aofeng Castle, and there is no merit and hard work. ”

Shangguan snorted coldly.

When the shopkeeper saw this scene, he glared at him angrily.

Shopkeeper Li's expression was calm, in his mind, Xuanyuan Ming had no evidence, even if he knew that they were greedy, there was nothing he could do about them.

Xuanyuan looked at them lightly and explained, but did not respond.

He's waiting.

"Castle Master"

A voice came from outside the door. Everyone's eyes shifted.

"Come in"

The man walked up respectfully with three ledgers in his hand.

When passing by the three of them, they glanced at it curiously, and with a glance, the shopkeeper Li among them lost his previous calmness, and his face couldn't help but change greatly.

How is it possible, he hid the ledger in the cellar at home, how did he find it, he wanted to wait for the contents of the real ledger to be kept, so as to make the fake ledger perfect, and he came back before he could do it, and before he could destroy the ledger, he found out the ledger, thinking of this, his face slowly decayed, and he was no longer as calm as before.

Shopkeeper Wang and Shopkeeper Zhang also sensed that something was wrong, and looked at Xuanyuan Ming, who was reading the account book.

After Xuanyuan read it, he slammed the ledger in front of them.

He said angrily, "Good you, you alone will pay a few thousand taels of silver, I am not thin on you, you are like this to me." It seems that Aofeng Castle cannot accommodate you. ”

"So far, I don't have anything to say, I've done enough to be in charge, and I've also contributed to Aofeng Castle, but what I've got, I've gotten nothing." Shopkeeper Li revealed his original face and shouted at Xuanyuan Ming.

The originally honest face became dark, which frightened the two people next to him.

Xuanyuan Ming's sharp eyes narrowed slightly, and he said it nicely, not because of greed.

"Since the castle master has nothing else to do, then let's go first." After Shopkeeper Li finished speaking, he raised his legs and was about to go out. He couldn't wait to go.

"Wait, when do I say you can go." Xuanyuan's dark eyes exuded a frightening color, his thin lips opened slightly, and he said coldly, "Do you think I am a three-year-old child?" ”

Xuanyuan Ming stood up and slowly walked in front of them, the man had a handsome face and an extraordinary temperament, wearing a black satin robe, which lined his slender body, and looked at the three of them with a thick disdain in his eyes.

The bodies of the three of them trembled slightly, as if they were watching the demon coming.

"If I let you walk out of this gate today, in Yizhou City, where is the majesty of Aofeng Castle, how will I manage Aofeng Fort in the future, if I don't punish you well, how can I serve the public, and the people below will be like you." Xuanyuan said lightly, as if he didn't care.
