Chapter 40: Xiao Zichen

Early the next morning, Ru Yi brought a woman in a white cloak to visit Mu Yi. It wasn't until she entered the guest hall that the woman lifted her cloak, revealing a pretty face that could be blown off.

Mu Yi's eyes lit up, the behind-the-scenes owner who partnered with Ru Yi turned out to be a beauty younger than Ru Yi, which was too unexpected for him.

"The little woman visited General Mu and thanked the general for his help to 'Ran Shengchang'. This woman bowed to Yingying, with a graceful and generous posture, and at first glance she was the daughter of a large family.

"There's no need to be polite," Mu Yi didn't dare to hold it up, and hurriedly got up to return the salute, "Ruyi's business is my business, don't be polite." ”

The woman did not show joy when she heard this, but her face was embarrassed, and after a moment of entanglement, she fell to her knees.

"What are you doing here, please get up, please get up. Mu Yi hurriedly took two steps forward and stretched out his hand to support him. He was confused, and he didn't know what the other party meant.

"I've heard Sister Yi say that you are a good person who is anxious for justice and righteousness. The slave family has a deep revenge for destroying the family, but it is only a daughter, and there is no hope of revenge, and I ask General Mu to help the little girl. If the revenge is avenged, this 'Ran Shengchang' will belong to the general, and the little woman is also willing to be a slave and a maid, serving the general. ”

Mu Yi frowned, and couldn't help but slander in his heart, you said in front of Ru Yi that you want to be a slave with me, I just have the heart, and I can't agree, it seems that this woman in business is more shrewd than the other, and her words are perfect, but the pit is so big.

"You first tell me who your enemy is, if it is really a great traitor, this general should act impartially. Mu Yi didn't know the depth of this matter, so he had to play an official tone.

"Poof," Rue laughed, "don't talk about these irrelevant things. Bringing Zichen here is also my thoughtful experience, and I also hope that you can help her by the way, and it will not implicate you. ”

"What are these words, when have I ever been afraid of being implicated. Mu Yi saw Ru Yi talking, and hurriedly packed the ticket, "Since Ru Yi said that he should help, then I will help you to the end, let's say, what is the matter." ”

The girl slowly got up and told the whole story.

It turned out that this woman was the daughter of Xiao Zhen, the owner of the third largest business in the capital at the time, "Xixingsheng", and her name was Xiao Zichen. After the Xiao family was destroyed, she was separated from the Yan sisters and fled to her hometown of Liuzhou alone, and according to Xiao Zhen's instructions, she found the secret vault of the Xiao family's gold.

After that, Xiao Zichen and Ru Yi met because of the Yan sisters. Both of them have ambitions and have their own strengths, so they hit it off, Ru Yi contributed in front of the stage, Xiao Zichen made a fortune behind the stage, and founded "Ran Shengchang", which became a new big business in the capital in a short time.

Only then did Mu Yi know how Ru Yi had created such a big industry, and he was originally afraid that Ru Yi would be the crown prince or His Royal Highness the Third Prince behind him, but now he was relieved.

"General Mu, the little girl's whole family was framed and beheaded all over the house, and this hatred is not shared. The slave family built this 'Ran Shengchang' to take revenge, and I hope the general will help me. Xiao Zichen cried. She was already delicate, and her delicate and tearful appearance made people even more pitiful.

Mu Yi was not hard-hearted, and with Ru Yi as a guarantor, he comforted: "Girl, don't worry, Mu Yi will definitely try her best to help." I don't know who framed your Xiao family, and why?"

"That enemy is the shopkeeper of the other three big businesses in Beijing, 'Lu Baiyuan', 'Fu Hesheng' and 'Shou Yong'an'. These three shopkeepers are actually distant brothers, and there was only one business in the capital in the previous dynasty, which was the Yue family. ”

Xiao Zichen paused, and then said: "A hundred years ago, Great Xia was founded, and the Yue family was also divided due to war and became one of the four major merchants. My Xiao family bought 'Xi Xingsheng' from one of the descendants of the Yue family who didn't like to run it, and it has been four generations, and they have been safe and sound. ”

"But a few years ago, someone suddenly went to the government to report that a large number of treasures in the Second Emperor's ** appeared in my warehouse, saying that my Xiao family colluded with traitors to steal them. The Jingzhou government did not even interrogate, and directly sentenced the whole house to be beheaded. Speaking of the sore spots, Xiao Zichen couldn't help crying pear blossoms with rain.

"It turned out to be my old Yue's family," Yue Ting's eyes widened beside him.

"Hmm, big brother, you are also from this Yue family?" Mu Yi suddenly felt a little tricky. The Xia Dynasty takes the clan very seriously, if the Yue family in the capital is in the same vein as the Anchuan Yue family, he really can't refute Yue Ting's face.

"Yes, the Xiao family's 'Joy and Prosperity' was still bought from my ancestor. But the ancestor of my family only likes to travel in the mountains and rivers, make friends with heroes, and scatter all the family property, and in my generation, even food and clothing will not be solved. Otherwise, how could my brother like money so much. When Yue Ting said this, he couldn't help sighing, obviously sad that he didn't inherit the great inheritance of his ancestors.

"Ahh

"Sister, don't get me wrong," Yue Ting hurriedly explained, "It was because of the exclusion that my ancestor had to sell his property and leave the capital. We have long broken off relations with the Yue family in Jingzhong, and we have no contact. Or I would have gone to them. ”

Mu Yi was relieved: "The old Yue family actually has a lot of background, why didn't the eldest brother tell me before." ”

"There's a fart," Yue Ting disagreed, "Push up a few generations or more than ten generations, who hasn't produced some celebrities? What does it have to do with us?"

Mu Yi couldn't help nodding secretly, Yue Ting was really free and easy, and he didn't care about the clan at all. Unlike many poor jingles, they don't forget to brag about how their ancestors are.

"That being the case, then Sister Xiao will continue to speak. Mu Yila returned to the original topic.

"Sister Xiao, second brother, you haven't even called Ru Yi sister, shouldn't you be tempted by her?" Yue Ting likes to tease others.

But as soon as these words came out, Ruyi's eyes changed slightly.

"Big brother, don't interrupt. Mu Yi scolded with a smile, "I just see that Zichen is really pitiful, he is smaller than us, so he is so easy to call it, you are so surprised." ”

"There is a godsister at home, and I recognize a sister here. Yue Ting didn't give up, and sighed.

Xiao Zichen was already very smart, so he took the opportunity to step forward and answer: "If Brother Mu doesn't dislike it, I am willing to be commensurate with my eldest brother and sister, and I will listen to Brother Mu's orders in the future." ”

Ru Yi didn't expect her to have such a play, so she couldn't help but interrupt: "You brothers and sisters here are not finished." Is Mu Yi that kind of person, hurry up and get down to business. ”

Xiao Zichen stuck out his tongue: "Those treasures are actually put into my Xiao family by those three firms on the grounds that the warehouse is full." At the beginning, these three families claimed to believe in the credibility of my Xiao family, and they did not leave any notes, and the people who moved things were all from these families. The person who reported the case was also a subordinate of the Yue family. Obviously, it was these three who deliberately framed them. ”

Mu Yi pondered for a moment and said: "How could the treasures of the second prince's family be lost in large numbers so easily? And they didn't report the case? I'm afraid that this matter is also related to the second prince." ”

"That's right," Zi Chen sighed, "I also have this kind of suspicion, but there is no evidence, and I don't dare to suspect it indiscriminately, not to mention that the second prince is not something that I and other ordinary people can bring down." I just hope to find the Yue family to take revenge. ”

Mu Yi thought for a long time, and then said, "This matter is quite tricky. Since the Jingzhou Mansion decided the case without arraignment, there must be a big man behind it, maybe it is the second prince. Even if it is not, the one who can command the governor of Jingzhou is at least an important minister in the court. ”

"Although I live in an official position, I only have some influence in the army, and I have no influence in the DPRK. Therefore, this matter cannot simply be handed over to the government for handling, and even if it is retried by the Criminal Department, I am afraid that there will be no result. ”

"That's right," Xiao Zichen couldn't help crying: "I also know this, so I have been hiding in the dark and haven't complained about anything." ”

"Well, smart people never leave their fate in the hands of others. Jouy was also on the side, thoughtful.

"In that case, there is no other way to do it. I can ask the ranger to arrest these people you said and bring them for private trial. When the result is asked, I will do it myself and help you avenge the Xiao family. What do you think?"

Xiao Zichen hesitated and said: "I have also thought about this method that Brother Mu said, although it is feasible, but I can only kill a few people, I can't avenge the destruction of the door, and I can't clear the grievances of my Xiao family, if it is not a last resort, I don't want to use this method." ”

"Then we can only treat others the way they do. Since the three of them are plotting against you, we can also use all our conspiracies. ”

"How dare you say such a big thing. Yue Ting was quite disdainful, "This trick is good, you can tell a way, how can it be so easy to bring down the three big merchants." The fall of the Xiao family must have been caused by the second prince, do you have the energy of the second prince. ”

"This is a long-term plan, a long-term plan. Mu Yi said with a smile.

"Brother Mu doesn't need to worry about this, here today, my sister just hopes to get Brother Mu's promise, as for the future plan, since I will worry about it, I don't dare to bother my brother. Xiao Zichen gave a slight salute and smiled.

"Well, then, the purpose of the day has been accomplished. Ru Yi got up and gave a half-salute to Mu Yi, "Mu Yi, I owe you one more time." ”

"It should be what I owe Brother Mu. Xiao Zichen hurriedly got up and bowed down with Ru Yi.

"Okay, okay, I don't owe anything here, and my friends can help me if they can. Besides, it's just a promise now, and I don't know if I have the ability to do it in the future. Mu Yi also stood up and looked at the two of them from afar, signaling that they didn't have to be like this.

After a few people finished talking about business, Mu Yi tried his best to invite the two to dinner together.

Mu Yi helped the two of them a lot, and the two of them couldn't refuse, so they had a dinner party in the house with the people in Mu Fufu.

But this dinner was not peaceful, and Nianyi couldn't help complaining that Mu Yi didn't discuss it with her. Between the words, he kept glancing at Ruyi with white eyes.

Yue Ting took the opportunity to ask about the situation of the Yan sisters. Xiao Zichen was quite interested in the two sisters when he heard Yue Ting's meaning, and immediately promised to let the Yan sisters come to the mansion to take care of their daily life in a few days.

Although Ru Yi felt that something was wrong, after all, these two sisters were from the Xiao family, so it was difficult to speak. It was up to them to go.

Yue Ting immediately patted his chest and swore that Xiao Zichen's affairs in the future would be her business. This made Nian Yi roll his eyes again.

After finishing the meal, Mu Yi reluctantly left Song Ruyi and told her to come and see her often if she was okay in the future.

Ru Yi didn't want to say anything, so she smiled and pulled Xiao Zichen away. waited until her back disappeared from sight, and Mu Yicai reluctantly returned to the house.
