Chapter 10 No negotiations
Shenheju is the largest inn in Yicheng, and it is also the most luxurious one, and it is also an industry belonging to Ning Wangfu, so as soon as Wang Guanlan entered Yicheng, he occupied the largest courtyard of this inn.
No way, who let him bring more people.
In the past few days, the outside of the Shenhe Residence has been very lively, but it is very deserted inside, because after the fourteen young men of the palace entered Yicheng, they didn't see anyone, nothing happened, oh, wrong, they did one thing, that is, hanging corpses.
He stayed in the inn all the time and didn't know what he was up to.
Although he didn't show up once and say a word, but the pressure brought to Yicheng, it was obvious that the nineteen corpses hanging on the city wall, even if they didn't know their identities, there was no one who didn't know their identities, but they were the personal guards and concubines of the third prince, just hanging and drying, this was a slap in the face, a prince of the palace, dared to slap the face of the prince of the palace so publicly, but it subverted the cognition of ordinary people. However, they also have to admit that the current Wang Guanlan does have the capital to argue with the third son, especially when the truth is on his side, the fifth girl is the concubine of the third son, but in the same way, she is also the assassin who assassinated Wang Guanlan.
Surprisingly, in the past three days, the third prince of the palace, who has always been known for his strength, did not react much, although there were some small movements secretly, but it was not intense, but last night, the fourteenth young man who had been silent for three days and brought infinite pressure to Yicheng finally moved.
The hall of the Divine Crane Residence in the Golden Juin Temple was now in an eerie calm.
Wang Guanlan sat on the Taishi chair in the hall, slowly looking at the account book in his hand, Wang Qing was waiting beside him, Tiancheng and Tianning were standing behind him, and there were ten people in charge of various industries in Yicheng in Ningwangfu headed by Hou Zihan, standing in front of him, bowing slightly, waiting for the fall.
Wang Guanlan's attitude looks very serious, careful, page by page of the account book, every page is very serious, from time to time or nodding, or shaking head, every action, can lead the following responsible persons to twitch the tip of the heart.
It's been two hours, he's been sitting on a chair and looking at the account for two hours, the tea on the side has changed several times, and the legs and stomachs of a few people in charge who are as fat as pigs have begun to fight, and if they continue to stand like this, they won't be able to support it.
However, in such a situation, no one dared to make a single sound, like a prisoner waiting for the judge's decision, this feeling Hou Zihan didn't like it very much, but he had to bow his head.
"Well, this account is well done!"
Finally, after waiting for another half an hour, Wang Guanlan's Chrysostom finally opened," The Wangfu's industry in Yicheng, there are nine big ones, and seventeen small ones, and the seventeen small industries are not looked at for the time being, first look at your big industries, money villages, plantations, warehouses, docks, the net income of this kind of industry is almost nearly 200,000 taels of silver a year, in addition to the 12,000 taels handed over to the palace, there should be a surplus of 178,000 taels of silver, plus those small industries, the total income of at least nearly 300,000 taels of silver, why did I ask people last time, you only said that there are 8,000 taels?!"
As soon as he spoke, Wang Guanlan was about to settle the old account, and the eyes of the shopkeepers immediately glanced at Hou Zihan, Hou Zihan's face was hot, he gritted his teeth, and said, "Maybe I miscalculated last time!"
"It's wrong, hmph, this can also be wrong!" Wang Guanlan didn't give the young master of the palace any face, "This account is flat on the surface, but the number in the library and this account definitely don't match, where to go, you know better than me!"
Looking at Hou Zihan, who no longer spoke, Wang Guanlan grinned at the corner of his mouth, "Do you think that those are the previous accounts, the previous things, all before I took over these industries, so, strictly speaking, I really don't have much power to manage, even if I am an official, I still have to pay for my predecessor, you also left me eight thousand taels of silver, which is already good, yes or no?!"
"It's good that Fourteen Young Ones know!" Hou Zihan finally spoke this time, without a hint of concession, this time, Wang Guanlan wanted to check the accounts, he took out the real accounts, and did not expect to be able to use fake accounts to fool him, because he knew that the more this time, the more careful he must be, and the more he can't leave the handle in Wang Guanlan's hands.
Wang Guanlan is right, he is here to take over these industries, not to check the accounts, before taking over these industries, what happened in these industries was acquiesced by the palace, Wang Guanlan really has no power to say anything, he knows this, Wang Guanlan also knows, to put it bluntly, he is not afraid of investigation.
In the past, where Yicheng's industrial income flowed, the high-level of the palace knew it, and even, this time Yicheng's industry was taken over by Wang Guanlan, which was also the result of wrestling among the high-level of the palace.
"Okay, the people have also seen it, and the accounts have been checked, so be it, what should everyone do in the future, of course, if anyone wants to leave, I will not force you to stay!" Wang Guanlan's gaze swept in front of the ten people, "From now on, Wang Qing will take over Hou Zihan's position and officially handle all matters of Yicheng industry on my behalf, what he means, is what I mean, those who stay should be clear, the rules here will be changed, how to change them, Wang Qing will tell you, okay, you can go!"
That's it?!
The ten masters below look at me, I look at you, and finally, they focused their eyes on Hou Zihan's body, but Hou Zihan just smiled, flicked his sleeves, and hugged Wang Guanlan, "In that case, Zihan farewell!"
"Don't send it!"
Looking at Hou Zihan's free and easy back, and then looking at Wang Guanlan's impatient face, the ten shopkeepers also sighed helplessly, seven of them followed Wang Qing to the side hall with a stomach full of doubts, and three of them thought about it, followed Hou Zihan's back, and went out of the Shenhe Residence.

"Young Master Cousin, what is this, is it just that, you will be fired in one sentence, what is that Wang Qing, it is just a small account room, what ability does he have to take your place!"
Among the three people in charge who followed Hou Zihan away, one of them was extremely fat, his fat was wrapped in brocade, and on his face full of flesh, two small eyes were rolling around, and from time to time there was a burst of poisonous light, "In this case, we don't like the third prince to confess!"
"We don't need to explain to the third son!" Hou Zihan didn't even look at it, and there was a sense of impatience in his tone, "The body of the fifth girl is now hanging on the city wall, which means that there is no possibility of reconciliation between Wang Guanlan and the third son, since there is no possible surname for reconciliation, then how can I, as the spokesperson of the third prince in Yicheng, interfere in his Yicheng industry again?" As for the few of you, you are also smart, among all the shopkeepers, you and I are the closest, even if you don't leave, he will soon find a reason to send you away!"
"It's not that simple to send us away, these industries are in our hands, even if there is no merit, there is hard work, he just came, why drive us away!"
"It's just that you only left him eight thousand taels of silver!" Hou Zi laughed coldly, "Zhu Laopi, don't dwell on your position anymore, your position will definitely not be kept, let's think about how to get out of it!"
"Retreat all over, how can I retreat, all my net worth is in Yicheng, all in Huitongzhuang, if there is no Huitongzhuang, I will have nothing, young master, I can't retreat!"
Hou Zihan stopped, looked at Zhu Laopi and said, "You still have a life because that fourteenth young man is just too lazy to deal with you, so he will give you a chance to get out, and you only have one chance, I also reminded you because you have worked hard for so many years, don't be dissatisfied, Zhu Laopi, you have also scratched a lot over the years!"
"But ......!"
"Okay!" Hou Zihan waved his hand, interrupting Zhu Laopi, who was still talking, "I'm all I say, whether you listen or not, it's none of my business!" After finishing speaking, he sped up his pace and didn't pay attention to these shopkeepers anymore, pitiful of these shopkeepers who followed him out to discuss countermeasures with him, but unexpectedly, when they waited for such a result, they couldn't help but look at each other, standing in the center of the street, not walking, not leaving.
"No, it can't be like this!" After standing in the wind for a long time, Zhu Laopi stomped his foot violently, "Things can't just be settled, hmph, he just came to Yicheng, and he didn't even stand firm on his heels, so he wanted to move us, and he didn't want to think about how many years we have been operating in Yicheng, how much effort and hard work we have spent in Yicheng, and after leaving Yicheng, we are nothing, I won't let him succeed so easily!"
"Shopkeeper Zhu, you have to think twice!" said another shopkeeper cautiously.
"Hmph, what are you afraid of, no matter how powerful he is, he is just a teenage hairy boy, does he know how to do business? Does he know how to maintain the relationship in all aspects of Yicheng? Does he know how to take care of these industries?!" Zhu Laopi shook the fat on his body, and said with confidence, "If we don't cooperate, just rely on his few accounts, can he collect the industry in Yicheng? Even if it is closed, will it operate?!"
"What do you mean......!" The other shopkeeper was very shrewd, and immediately heard a strange smell from Zhu Laopi's words.
"That's not what I mean, this is what the third son meant!" Zhu Laopi said coldly, "Don't forget, ten years ago, how did Qin Weihua fall?!"
"Qin Weihua!!" Suddenly hearing this name, the two shopkeepers were stunned for a moment, and nodded thoughtfully, "Okay, since that's the case, let's go back and prepare!" After speaking, the two also hugged their fists and said goodbye, but it is unknown whether they are really going back to prepare.
