Taoyao Order

Bai Zhaowen looked at Chu Yuanshan who was a little irritable, and he was secretly happy. As expected, he couldn't hold back his anger, so he straightened his chest and said with a smile: "Although it is said that it is based on wind and shadow, it is not groundless.

I have seen the Chu family's account books in Tianjin, Hangzhou, and even the capital, but Panyu's account books have always been in duplicate. One of them is placed outside, and the other has been locked in the bedroom by the master and his wife all these years. In the box, he never shows himself to anyone.The commercial banks nearby have both suffered losses and profits in the past 20 years, but Panyu's profits have been rising year after year.Money can only come in but not come out.

As for Panyu... I heard that the largest trading firm in the area also has the surname Chu, but the Chu family in Panyu started out as a shipbuilder. "

Chu Yuanshan looked at him with eyes that became deeper and deeper, even with a hint of contempt but a smile: "So? There are family members in Panyu whose surname is Chu, so we can't be surnamed Chu? Or, the current emperor's surname is Bai, and you are Are you a relative of the emperor?"

Bai Zhaowen said coldly: "Our Chu family in Hangzhou is indeed calm, but there are all kinds of rumors about the Yu Chu family in the public."

Chu Yuanshan sneered: "There are rumors about the Chu family in Panyu. What does it have to do with my Chu family in Hangzhou?"

Bai Zhaowen sighed: "Old man, do the Hangzhou Chu family and the Panyu Chu family really have nothing to do with each other? Taking a step back, even if there is really no relationship, there are more people outside saying that there is a relationship, and everyone agrees. Gold, accumulation is destroyed and bones are destroyed.

Aren't you afraid that three people will become a tiger? "

Chu Yuanshan nodded with interest and said: "That's right. If you add the testimony of you, the steward of the Chu family, it is somewhat credible. However, Zhaowen, this matter is just a little guess on your part. Do you believe what you say?"

Bai Zhaowen didn't understand why Chu Yuanshan said this, so he just said: "It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not, as long as the government official believes it."

Chu Yuanshan sneered and said: "You have seen that our Chu family has opened a porridge house and cultivated almshouses over the years. Our family background is clean, we have given generous favors, and the masters in the family are always lenient. You think that the Chu family is weak and can be bullied. I can squeeze them into circles and flatten them as you please, but I will be afraid that your ideas will be used to gossip and you will be forced to do so.

Ke Zhaowen, if you really believe what you heard is true, then how dare you let your daughter break into the Chu family's dragon and tiger den?
Isn't it ridiculous that you have such specious speculations about the Chu family, but you don't believe your own speculations? You are on both ends of the spectrum, yet you dare to act recklessly? "

Bai Zhaowen's thoughts were completely understood by Chu Yuanshan, and he couldn't help but tighten his eyes and purse his lips tightly in silence.

He first noticed the flaw, and he was frightened all day long, with all kinds of thoughts. Until he saw his daughter, who was about the same age as Chu Ping, growing up day by day, and then thought about the Chu family's overwhelming wealth, he was suddenly filled with greed, and figured out this He thought he could make his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, so he begged the old lady to put Qiuyue next to Chu Ping.

But he never thought that his beautiful dream would only be worthy of the word "ridiculous" in front of Chu Yuanshan.

Chu Yuanshan slowly shook his head: "At this point, you have two ways to go.

First, you and your daughter left the Chu family together. Over the years, your monthly income from the Chu family was quite large, enough for you to support the whole family.

Find a secluded village where you won’t be ostentatious or cause trouble, and maybe you can enjoy your old age in peace..."

Bai Zhaowen's hands clenched into fists, and his body tensed up, like a leopard about to pounce at any time: "Are you kidding me? Aren't you afraid that I'll report it to the official?"

Chu Yuanshan smiled and said: "Since ancient times, the Yamen has been opened to the south. Don't come in if you have reason or money. Although our Chu family in Hangzhou has a weak foundation, it is not something that you, a small steward, can easily shake.

Aren't you afraid that the Chu family will accuse you of false accusation? "

Bai Zhaowen sneered: "Have you ever heard of the old man saying that those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes? If I would rather break the jade than make it whole, and kill the Chu family, if I don't care for the wealth of the Chu family, I will become a government official. Can those gentlemen of the country not be interested? If anyone can see this level, there will definitely be birds that die for money and people that die for food." After hearing him say such words that both jade and stone would be destroyed, both sides would be harmed, Chu Yuanshan shook his head and sighed, this world is full of hatred They are not evil people, but good people. The more good people are, the more they are coveted. They become prey for evil people and are expected to die by many people. This is why the old saying "people are bullied when they are good, and horses are ridden when they are good".

Those people are not even calculating carefully. In order to gain some benefit for themselves, they are willing to break into pieces and die just to prevent others from benefiting. Isn't it sad and ridiculous?

"Zhaowen," Chu Yuanshan's voice was a bit desolate, "Have you ever thought that, as you found out, the Chu family is actually the same family as the Chu family in Panyu, and they are engaged in the business of losing heads. How is it possible that we don’t have a few lives and lawsuits on our hands? Do you think you will be destined to enter the government office? "

Chu Yuanshan's bottomless voice suddenly made Bai Zhaowen feel cold on the soles of his feet, and his body couldn't help but feel a little weak. He wouldn't be afraid if the Chu family was really innocent, but could it be possible that his guesses would be true?What are they doing behind the scenes?
Chu Yuanshan finally saw the fear in Bai Zhaowen's eyes, and felt it was even more ridiculous, and then continued slowly: "The second way to survive is that you stay, and you have to do your job to keep safe.

As for your daughter, let your mother-in-law find a good match for her and get her married. This will also fulfill the relationship between master and servant these years. "

Bai Zhaowen looked at Chu Yuanshan, who had a kind face but bottomless eyes, and suddenly wanted to run away. He wanted to take his wife, children, and children away from this place of right and wrong quickly. That was not something ordinary people like them could easily get involved in. thing.

But then I thought about it, if my suspicion was true and I revealed my feelings to him today, how could he take the risk and let his family live?

If you leave, it's really a dead end.

Bai Zhaowen trembled and knelt on the ground: "I, I will stay and let my daughter go."

Chu Yuanshan raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Oh? Aren't you going to try walking around?"

Bai Zhaowen thought about it again and again, and finally leaned forward and said, "I have never thought about betraying the Chu family. I just want to serve the Chu family wholeheartedly."

Chu Yuanshan only said lightly: "Then you should keep your mouth shut and pray day and night that the Chu family is safe. After all, if the nest is overturned, there is no way for the eggs to be intact. You also understand.

If the news leaks out from you, the Chu family will have enough support even if they die. "

Bai Zhaowen responded with a trembling voice: "...Yes."

Chu Yuanshan then picked up the book on the table again and asked casually, "By the way, where did you get the clue?"

Bai Zhaowen said truthfully: "Yes...it is the account book that the master brought back from Panyu four years ago. Because he was in a hurry to go out, he asked Xiao Shunzi to send it back to his wife in the backyard. The wind blew open a page, and it read that in the third year of Litai, Panyu The Chu family cloth shop made a profit of [-] gold.

The amount was staggering. He came to ask me what kind of business the Chu family was doing in Panyu, so they could make so much money.

I...I just became suspicious. "

"Well, Hongzhe was too careless in doing things. Xiao Shunzi, right? I remember it. You can go ahead. Ask your mother-in-law to give Qiuyue a good look at each other, and if you like them, come back and report to the old lady. Man, that girl is not young, so she should get married as soon as possible. That’s fine, but it’s just a worry for you two.” Chu Yuanshan picked up his glasses and read a book, and told Bai Zhaowen to step back in a casual chatter. Keep the door closed by the way.
