In the garden of a magnificent mansion in Chong'en County, Dongning Prefecture, a very rich young man was blindfolded and happily playing hide-and-seek with a group of pretty maids.
"Master, I'm here, you come to me!"
"Master, come here, I'm on your left!"
"Sister Ru, you are cheating. I think you just want to be caught by me!"
················
················
Among this group of maids, this young man with a rich figure touched him here and there. He took advantage of all kinds of maids, which made the maids jealous, but... When they were having the most fun, there was a rush of footsteps beside the young man. Before the young man could react, the dreamer's cloth from his eyes was ripped off!
The young man whose interest was disturbed immediately had an angry expression on his face. Just when he was about to curse, he saw an old face with anger mixed with disappointment, and saw the appearance of this old man. , the young man who was about to get angry suddenly stopped and weakly lowered his head like an eggplant beaten by frost...
"Why don't you all, you cheap maids, get out of here?"
After glaring at the rich young man, the old man immediately yelled at the little maids in the garden:
Upon hearing the old man's scolding, these little maids who had been silent and dared not breathe immediately trotted out of the garden as if they were on the verge of amnesty, not daring to stay for a moment for fear of being implicated.
"follow me!"
After scolding the group of warblers, the old man ordered to the rich young man. After saying that, he raised his legs and left. The rich young man also lowered his head and followed the old man step by step.
After walking around the yard for a cup of tea, the old man and the young man arrived at the center of this large mansion.
Looking at the simple and elegant word "Ancestral Hall" on the plaque in front of him, the young man's heart suddenly tightened. Although he knew that it would be difficult to be kind this time, he did not expect that he would be taken to the Ancestral Hall... ··········
After walking into the ancestral hall, the old man ordered his servants to close the door of the ancestral hall and push all the people out. After finishing all the work, the old man pointed to the tablet enshrined in the ancestral hall and said to the rich young man:
"Kneel down in front of the ancestral tablets!"
Although the rich young man was a little reluctant, he still knelt down obediently.
"Tell me, where did you go wrong?" the old man asked in a deep voice:
Faced with this problem, the rich young man said without thinking:
"Uncle, I was wrong because I shouldn't be greedy for pleasure and should be diligent in family affairs!"
"Is it gone?" The old man closed his eyes and continued to ask:
The rich young man hesitated for a moment, then continued with some embarrassment:
"You shouldn't indulge in women..."
"Is it gone?" The old man opened his eyes, looked over, and asked the same question a second time.
Although he was a little curious as to why his uncle asked the same question twice, the rich young man thought about it and thought that he had not made any other mistakes recently besides these, so he shook his head and said firmly:
"Gone!"
Hearing this answer, the old man couldn't hide the disappointment in his expression. The next second he raised his right hand high and hit it hard.
"Snapped!"
A crisp slap immediately stunned the rich young man kneeling on the ground. He never expected that his uncle would hit him. You must know that the last time his uncle hit him was when he was greedy when he was ten years old. When he was playing the role of teacher, since he took over as the head of the family five years ago, in order to maintain his prestige, his uncle almost never said harsh words to him, let alone beating him.
"I really didn't expect you to be so stupid that you committed the genocide without knowing it?" The old man pointed at the rich young man kneeling on the ground and said with anger and disappointment:
The old man's whole body began to tremble slightly when he finished speaking, probably because he was extremely angry. Seeing this rich young man, he didn't care about the pain on his face. He quickly brought a chair from the side and handed it to the old man and said with concern:
"Uncle, all your mistakes are my fault. Don't get angry..."
The old man didn't appreciate the rich young man's filial behavior at all. He pushed the chair away and knelt down behind the ancestral tablet with a bang, then closed his eyes in pain and said:
"Over the years, you have been greedy for pleasure and kept maids outside your house. Why have I ever said a word to you about this?"
"Our family has a big business. Even if you are a bit playful and raise a few more women, it is not a big deal, but you should never, never mess with that evil star!"
"Let me ask you, are you getting involved with Gongsun Hui and preparing to deal with Ye Mingsheng?"
As soon as these words came out, the rich young man was immediately startled, and his expression quickly changed. After pondering for a while, he said helplessly:
"yes!"
After hearing this, the old man turned his back to his nephew, looked at the ancestral tablet in front of him and continued to ask:
"Let me ask you again, what do you want by letting Xue Laowu control Wang Gui?"
Faced with this question, the rich young man was silent for a while, and then chose to explain truthfully:
"After I control Wang Gui, I plan to use Wang Gui to control his sister Jinyu, and then use Jinyu to get rid of Ye Mingsheng..."
Although he had expected it in his heart, when the answer came out from his nephew's mouth, the old man couldn't help but close his eyes in pain.
Although he couldn't see the old man's face and expression, the rich young man could sense the old man's pain, and immediately gritted his teeth and made up his mind and said:
"Uncle, I don't know why you and Cui Shao are so afraid of Ye Mingsheng!"
"Isn't Ye Mingsheng just a poor guy who took advantage of the Cui family and got lucky? Now he's up and started biting his master!
"Open your eyes and look at what Ye Mingsheng did, redeeming land and regulating commerce. Which one of these is not a blow to us? He has only been in power for more than a year, but we have suffered more from him than Song Wenhui did. Twenty years more!”
"If Ye Mingsheng continues to develop like this, it won't take long for us to be like those poor idiots!"
"Since Ye Mingsheng is so greedy and shameless! Then no wonder I sent him to the West!"
At this point, the rich young man's face was distorted, and his eyes flashed with cold murderous intent, which showed that he already hated Ye Mingsheng to the bone...
"well!"
The old man sighed and said sadly:
"Xue Laowu has been caught, and he is now in the dungeon of the Coordination Office!"
The rich young man who was so arrogant just a second after he finished speaking, threatening to send Ye Mingsheng to the West, was stunned for a second. After a few seconds, he regained his composure and said with some disbelief:
"How is this possible? Uncle, are you mistaken?"
Seeing that his nephew was still lucky, the old man smiled bitterly, shook his head and said:
"Even I know about this, do you think you can still hide it?"
The rich young man couldn't help but look a little panicked, but after a few seconds, he said with certainty like a drowning man grabbing the last straw:
"Xue Laowu and his family are all in my hands. He will not turn me in. He will definitely not turn me in!"
Hearing this, the old man's eyes narrowed and he continued to ask:
"The Coordination Office's methods are very vicious. Even a tough guy will have to shed a layer of skin after entering. Are you so sure that Xue Laowu can handle it?"
After listening to the old man's words, the young man hesitated and said bitterly:
"Xue Laowu is a tough guy and he values his family very much, but whether he can withstand the tactics of the Coordination Office, I don't have a 100% chance of him... ··”
The old man was silent for a while after hearing this, and then a fierce light flashed in his eyes and he said in a deep voice:
"Leave Xue Laowu's affairs to me. Apart from him, have you done everything else cleanly?"
The rich young man nodded and said confidently:
"Well, the people who should be dealt with have been dealt with long ago, and the unified investigation office can't find them!"
Feeling the full confidence in his nephew's words, the old man felt a little calmer in his heart. He pondered for a while and then ordered:
"Send someone tonight to open the silver cellar underground in Xiaohuang Mountain and take out the five hundred thousand taels of silver inside!"
After the words fell, the rich young man suddenly showed a look of surprise. After hesitation, he said:
"My uncle's money was left by our ancestors to help our family survive the difficulties of life and death. If we try to use it now..."
The old man sighed and said:
"No matter how good the money is, it must be paid with life. Now we have to be prepared with both hands. Although Ye Mingsheng is ruthless, he is a man who does big things, and he still has a big heart. If the gang under him is really allowed to do so by then, If Eagle Dog finds out, this money may be able to save our family’s lives!”
At this point, the old man paused for a moment, and then continued his instructions:
"Just in case, I will quietly release the news tomorrow that you are sick and cannot see guests. You can go to Changqing Mansion tonight to avoid the limelight. If nothing happens, I will send someone to call you back!"
After listening to his uncle's words, the rich young man looked startled at first, and then said firmly and deeply moved:
"Uncle, one person is responsible for one's work. If the truth is revealed and my death can save the family, then why not give my head to him, Ye Mingsheng? Why bother uncle and you come to support me?"
Seeing that his nephew was so responsible and not a rotten person who was greedy for life and afraid of death, the old man felt somewhat comforted but still persuaded:
"You're confused! How long can my uncle live when he's over fifty and his body is like this? You're still young and the family will have to rely on you in the future..."
"Uncle, I have been taught by you since I was a child. Although I am dull and have not learned any skills, I still have this kind of backbone. I can do things for others. If something happens one day, I will never be a coward! "The rich young man said decisively:
······················
······················
In Dongning, in the boudoir in the backyard of Murong Mansion, four girls were sitting together.
"eat!"
"bump!"
"I'm crazy!"
Putting the "five tubes" in his hand on the table, Murong Qingwu said happily:
Because of the lack of entertainment methods in this era, Ye Mingsheng saw several female relatives in his family doing nothing at home and because of the social atmosphere, they could not go out often to show their faces. Therefore, Ye Mingsheng invented mahjong and let them Let's have fun and relax while we are in Fuzhong.
As soon as this mahjong came out, it aroused the welcome of all the female relatives in the mansion. Not only that, it also spread outside the mansion. A few days ago, Murong Qingwu saw the little maids in his home secretly playing this game called mahjong. , is also very interested in mahjong. Known as the most talented woman in the world, she quickly figured out the rules of mahjong and started a winning streak at home.
The three girls sitting aside saw Murong Qingwu touching the Hu Wutong with his hand, and their little faces instantly turned pale and they all said pitifully:
"Miss, you are so awesome. We have already lost all the money for this month's pregnancy to you. If we count this again, our money for next month's pregnancy will also be gone..." ··”
"That's right, miss, we don't have any money, so this one won't count!"
"Miss, you're the best, please don't forget about this one, okay?"
Seeing the pitiful appearance of the three little maids beside him, Murong Qingwu, who was immersed in the joy of victory, suddenly realized that he had unknowingly won all their money.
As the rich daughter of a top family, Murong Qingwu has been well-dressed and well-fed since she was a child. She has never lacked money in her hands, so naturally she will not be greedy for the little money in the hands of the little maids, and she immediately takes the money she won. He also handed over his principal of more than ten taels of silver and said:
"Divide this money among you!"
Although the little maids were a little moved when they saw this, they still said tentatively:
"Miss, this is not good..."
Murong Qingwu smiled and said:
"I tell you to take it, just take it, and treat it as if you played mahjong with me and I gave it to you!"
Upon hearing what Murong Qingwu said, the little maid also knew that Murong Qingwu had a very generous personality, so they all expressed their gratitude to Murong Qingwu without any scruples:
"Thank you, miss, thank you, miss!"
Murong Qingwu waved her hands casually, her expression couldn't help but recall the scene when she just played mahjong, her red lips slightly opened and she unconsciously said:
"Tell me how long Ye Mingsheng's head is, so that he can come up with mahjong..."
