Manager Liu was hit so suddenly that he was stunned on the spot. After a moment, he came back to his senses. He covered his burning cheeks with his hands and said in a panic and vaguely: "Master, the villain knows his fault, and the villain doesn't." You should talk more!"
Chen Ziyu was still a little confused. He rolled up his sleeves and picked up the inkstone on the desk beside him, just as he was about to smash it down.
Li Yan on the side hugged his waist tightly from behind and shouted in horror: "Young Master can't do it! If you beat Manager Liu to death, you won't be able to explain it to me when I come back!"
"Let go, this young master is going to beat this bitch to death. It's okay to be arrogant in the house on weekdays. Today, not only do you dare to hit people, but you also dare to interfere in my young master's affairs. Then tomorrow, won't you sit down with this young master?" Shit on your head!”
As soon as these words came out, Manager Liu was so frightened that he immediately knelt down on the ground and begged for mercy.
"Master...Young master, I don't dare! How can I, a villain, have the guts to bully the young master! I know I'm wrong, please let me know from you!"
Manager Liu was filled with regret. He should have known better that he shouldn't have slapped Li Yan because of his status. The young master's temperament was still the same as before!
Li Yan still clung tightly to Chen Ziyu's waist and muttered words such as "Master, please calm down" and "You can't fight".
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Chen Ziyu's inner anger softened slightly, but his face was still livid, and then he deliberately pretended that his arm was pulled by Li Yan, and the inkstone in his hand fell to the ground.
"You bitch, let go of this young master!"
Chen Ziyu pulled hard, and Li Yan slowly let go of his arm when he saw that there was no "violent weapon" in the young master's hand.
But his eyes were fixed on Chen Ziyu, as if as soon as the young master made any move, he would immediately pounce to stop him!
"You bitch, go get all the money and property deeds from home!" Chen Ziyu angrily yelled at Manager Liu who was kneeling on the ground.
"Huh?" Manager Liu was dumbfounded. He wanted to completely destroy the family's fortune at once!
Seeing that Manager Liu still didn't move, Chen Ziyu raised his voice by one decibel, waved his fist and said viciously: "You bitch, why don't you go quickly?"
"Yes, yes, young master, calm down, I'll go right now!"
After saying that, Manager Liu crawled and took out a small box from the shelf nearby, then took out the key tremblingly, opened it and took out a stack of banknotes and land deeds.
"Young... Young Master, this is my lifeblood. You must not mess around!"
Frankly speaking, Manager Liu, apart from being a bit domineering on weekdays, is still very loyal to Pingjiang Mansion, and he did not forget to remind Chen Ziyu at this time.
However, these things have long been accustomed to Manager Liu. In the past, when the young master asked for money, he would just grab it without saying a word, and would beat him up if he had the slightest rebuttal!
Now at least he sent Li Yan, a loser, to withdraw the money. If you want to blame him, it's because he was blinded by lard. He knew Li Yan was the young master and beat him!
Chen Ziyu glanced at Manager Liu, feeling somewhat guilty.
Fortunately, it was just a bluff to hit him with the ledger. It seemed like a heavy blow, but in fact all the strength in my hand was removed by the ledger buffer!
But there is nothing I can do about it. I am doing this to maintain my status as a prodigal. Isn’t that how a prodigal should be?
Besides, this old guy really deserves a beating. He knew that Li Yan was sent by him to ask for money, but he still dared to beat someone!
There is no rule without rules. Princess Taikang will return to the mansion tomorrow. As a young master, if I don't take this opportunity to establish some prestige, how will the servants in the mansion be managed by then?
If these people violate any royal taboo, there won't be enough heads to chop off by then!
What's more, this era is different from later generations. Here, the authority of the family head is greater than the law. If the family head kills a few servants, he will only be fined a little money!
After thinking about this, Chen Ziyu felt a little better.
Chen Ziyu counted the money and found that there was not much cash, only thirty thousand taels in total, and about a dozen land and house deeds.
Then he stuffed them into the box one by one, handed it to you directly to Li Yan, looked into his eyes and said word by word:
"You go and exchange these house and land deeds for money now, and then pledge them all to Li Dongyang! Do you understand!"
Chen Ziyu was worried that his cheap dad would stop him when he came back, so he wanted to kill him first and then show off!
Li Yan suddenly looked sad while holding the box, fell to his knees and cried bitterly: "Master, you can't do this! This has been passed down from generation to generation in our family. If you sell your land, you will be struck by lightning!"
Chen Ziyu instantly felt extremely irritable. He obviously had first-hand information, but he couldn't tell it clearly!
After all, the stakes in the imperial examination are too great, and there is a shocking case in this examination, so I must not get involved in the slightest!
"That's enough!" Chen Ziyu slapped the crying Li Yan on the face!
Immediately he said angrily and without hesitation: "Now, immediately, go and do what I said to the young master! If you dare to delay for a moment, the young master will break your legs now!"
Li Yan was immediately frightened and stopped crying. His eyes turned red and he hesitated to speak. However, seeing Chen Ziyu's cannibalistic eyes, he had no choice but to hold the box and run outside.
Seeing Li Yan leave, Chen Ziyu breathed a sigh of relief.
But the expression on his face was still very ugly. He glared at Manager Liu and immediately left for his yard.
Seeing Chen Ziyu leave, Manager Liu didn't care about anything else and rushed out of the warehouse and ran towards the housekeeper Chen Zhong's residence, hoping to find the master as soon as possible and stop the young master from doing stupid things!
...
When Chen Rui and several colleagues and old brothers were hugging a few girls in Yicui Tower and talking about life and ideals, the disciple suddenly came to report that the housekeeper of the uncle's house had something urgent to see the uncle.
Chen Rui had no doubt that he was there. After comforting the girls in his arms, he said hello to a few old brothers and left Yicui Building.
I happened to see Chen Zhongzheng pacing back and forth anxiously, looking inside from time to time.
Seeing Chen Rui coming out, Chen Zhong hurriedly came up to him and wailed with a mournful face: "Master, something bad is going on. Young Master... Young Master, he..."
"Huh?" Chen Rui was half sober. If he wanted to say what was most important in his heart, it was of course his son, who was getting more and more proud of him. He quickly urged: "Tell me, young master, what's wrong with him!"
"Young Master, he sold all the land deeds and house deeds in the house!"
"What!!! Sell it all???" Chen Rui's eyes widened in horror!
"All sold!"
As soon as Chen Zhong finished speaking, Chen Rui suddenly felt dizzy, his legs softened and he almost fell to the ground.
Chen Zhong was scared to death. He quickly helped Chen Rui with his quick eyes and helped him to the carriage beside him!
Then he pinched Chen Rui's man several times. It wasn't until Chen Rui opened his eyes quietly that Chen Zhong felt relieved a little.
With tears in the corners of his eyes, he said cautiously: "Master, master, are you okay?"
I saw Chen Rui sitting up straight, beating his chest and feet, crying and howling:
"My family is unfortunate! My family is unfortunate! What evil did I, Chen Rui, do to give birth to such an unworthy and rebellious son..."
