Zhan Zhumen

Chapter 888 Life and Death

"Daddy, what's wrong with you, Daddy? Daddy..."

Aunt Jun got up from the bed in a daze when she heard the news that her old father had suffered a stroke.

When I returned to Jun's house with my son, I found that the old father's eyes were crooked, his mouth was slanted, and he was drooling non-stop, unable to speak, only the sound of drinking from his throat.

Aunt Jun broke down in tears, "Father, why are you like this..."

Seeing his grandfather staring at him, Mu Zhan seemed to have thousands of words to say, but he really couldn't understand what he meant, so he sighed deeply and comforted him: "Grandfather, please take good care of him. You searched for famous doctors to cure you."

Jun Xiangjie yelled a few times, and wanted to say countless things to him. He wanted his grandson to avenge him, to drive Mu Yan from his position as son, to delay Mu Yanling thousands of times...

But he couldn't say anything, he just watched Mu Zhan walk out of the room.

"Why is it like this?"

After leaving the room, Mu Zhan sighed and sighed.It's just a few million taels of silver. With him and mother around, are you afraid that the Jun family will not be able to return to its former glory?Why can't I think about it like this.

Jun Ruoxu stood with him, lowered his head and echoed, "Yeah, I didn't expect that either, it just happened overnight."

Jun Ruoxu lowered his head, staring at the bluestone ground with mixed emotions in his heart.

This is his own grandfather, blood relative, how can he not feel sad.He persuaded his grandfather not to fight with Mu Yan, they are businessmen, don't get involved too much, just do their own business, but his grandfather didn't listen.

Jun Ruoxu looks up at the sky, people in the world can't learn to be satisfied, they want this and want that, and they want more when they have that.

Mu Zhan turned his head and glanced at him. Seeing his downcast expression, he comforted him, "Don't worry, with my cousin here, the position of patriarch must be yours."

Cousin Ruoxu is a direct descendant of the Jun family, and his father and his mother are from the same mother, so of course he will support this cousin who is related by blood.

Jun Ruoxu restrained his emotions, lowered his head and thanked Mu Zhan: "Thank you, cousin."

Mu Zhan patted him on the shoulder, "There is no need to be polite, we are all blood relatives."

"Yes. I listen to my cousin."

When Aunt Jun's mother and son returned to the Mu Mansion, Aunt Jun was still crying, "Your grandmother said that she just heard that Jiao Zan's family disappeared."

Aunt Jun wiped her tears resentfully, "Mu Yan, that scoundrel, never thought that he would be able to hide Jiao Zan, together with his family, and caught us off guard!"

Originally, she wanted to join forces with Jiao Zan, and Jiao Zan would expose Mu Yan's crimes of privately setting up punishments, ignoring the court's discipline, and arbitrarily capturing third-rank officials of the court, so as to convict him and drive him out of Yunnan.

But I didn't expect that it was just a wrong eye, and before I had time to move, the person disappeared.

"Mu Yanding hid him. Your grandmother said that Jiao Zan was on good terms with his younger sister's family. You should send someone to keep an eye on that family. You must find out Jiao Zan's whereabouts."

"Yes, don't worry, mother."

"Originally, I was still thinking about Jiao Zan's relationship with us, and I wanted to ask your father to mention his official position again, but I didn't expect him to fall to that evil bastard now. Damn, idiot!"

Cursed a few words, "The mud can't support the wall. Anyway, if that's the case, it's hard to keep him. He has your grandfather's handle, so he should find someone earlier. If he can't help us expose Mu Yan, then we will There is no need to keep him."

Jiao Zan not only has her old father's handle, but she probably has a lot of handles as well.Since he was rebellious, it would be a shame to keep him.

"I understand. I will send someone to watch the family immediately."

That's not enough, they can't passively wait to be beaten, they have to do something and hit back fiercely, otherwise those evil bastards will just think her mother and son are soft-legged shrimps.

Aunt Jun was filled with hatred.I can't wait to kill Mu Yan immediately.

After Jun Xiangjie fell, with Mu Zhan's support, the affairs of the Jun clan fell into Jun Ruoxu's hands.

It's just that he is young, and all the uncles and cousins ​​don't want to listen to him.Let's just say that he is the head of the big house, and the concubine brothers are not willing to obey him.The elders of all ethnic groups in the clan even bullied him that he was young and ignorant, and did not take him seriously.

The Jun clan is about to fall apart.

As soon as Jun Xiangjie fell, the matter of the North-South Merchant Store was resolved, and Huo Xi began to make some plans for the bleak business of the shops in the city, but she was about to give birth, and Mu Yan refused to let her work harder.

I had to put things aside for now.Instruct Gen Qi to discuss with Xuan Li and Wan Enyi, and tell them that the shop in Yushi Street can be opened.

Jun Xiangjie only knew that the jade mine was still sealed, but in fact, although there was no major action to the outside world, the recruitment of miners has long since ended. Because the monthly silver is rich and the salary is good, it is not as harsh as other mines. Being a human being leads to a large number of applicants.

Although it is hidden from people outside, it has been mined inside for a long time without telling outsiders.

Several batches of stone materials were also transported to the capital along with the ship.That is, Wan Enyi's son and son-in-law went to pick stone materials several times, brought them back excitedly, unwrapped them and carved them carefully.

I believe that as soon as the store opens, it will be able to put on the shelves.

One thing happened again, Huo Xi relaxed a lot.Just waiting to welcome the arrival of the new life in the womb.

"My lord, the eldest son is sending people to investigate the Four Seas Bank." Gen Qi reported to Mu Yan.

"Oh? Did you find anything?"

Gen Qi was very thankful, "No. We even registered fake information about the wealth owner in the yamen, no matter how much he wins over other shop assistants, we can't find out anything."

Mu Yan smiled, thanks to his experience in Jinyiwei.

Because he is good at following clues and looking for clues, when he wants to hide the news, he will naturally know how to do it. If he does the opposite, even if his colleagues from Jin Yiwei come to investigate, they will not be able to find out the truth he wants to hide.

"The eldest son also knows that our bank was opened during the Wu Dynasty, and the rich owner should not recognize him as the prince. I'm afraid he thinks that the prince will have something to do with the Four Seas Bank. Or he has a big body. buddy."

At that time, the wife said that she wanted to open a bank, but she thought of a new name. It was the prince who found a former bank that had been closed, found their descendants, and bought the name and plaque from them.

Mu Yan didn't care, "Let him go. Just let him think that I'm a partner of the Universal Bank. Just to give the merchants some confidence. This son is not only a partner, but also has all his wealth in the Universal Bank. This relationship Still not solid?"

Gen Qi nodded and smiled, "Yes, it happens that the eldest son's people will help the prince to promote it. It will add some popularity to the Universal Bank."

Kan Er listened and patted his chest, "How can I gain more popularity? Now the Four Seas Bank is no less popular than the North and South Merchandise dealers. The shop assistants in the neighboring shops are helping to line up and carrying the silver boxes, and there are a lot of rewards. .I want to do my best. My energy is wasted.” It’s a pity.

Mu Yan squinted at him, "How about I give you a few days off, and you also move the cash box for the merchant?"

Kan Er was taken aback, and waved his hands hastily, "Hey, Shizi, I was just joking. Look at you, you still take the joke seriously." It's really scary, Shizi's eyes look like he wants to deduct a month's money.

In a few days, it became hotter.

Jun Xiangjie, who was lying on the bed and couldn't move, gradually had an unpleasant smell in the room because of the inattentive service of the girls.

The concubines and grandchildren who were worried about his death and could not take charge of the division of the family wealth, ran to his house frequently, and now they couldn't even see the figure.

Jun Xiangjie lying on the bed would rather die than live.

Today, several clan elders came over together, ran to his bed and questioned: "Patriarch, why did you sell the ancestral land!"
