Chapter 703 The wait is finally over (2)
"Finally back! Tao'er, Aunt Zhen, go and heat up the food and two pots of wine."
Tao'er and Pearl nodded and went to work, finally coming back.
Lei Xiaocheng and Duan Xiang hurried back after a long journey. They barely rested along the way and looked a little sloppy.
"My boss, it's a good thing that you had the pass order sent by someone else. Otherwise, the city gate wouldn't be opened if it's locked this late at night."
Lei Xiaocheng said while warming himself by the fire.
"It's been a hard journey. I asked Tao'er and the others to prepare hot water, so they can clean it up in a while. Mr. Lei, Mr. Duan, is the journey going well?"
Chuxue poured them wine to warm their stomachs first.
"It went smoothly. I knew my boss was waiting for us, so I didn't dare to delay on the way. My boss, I brought everything back. You can take a look!"
Duan Xiang put down his wine glass, picked up the bundle and opened it. There were several account books wrapped in three layers inside and three outside.
"My boss, I have wasted a lot of effort on these account books, so I was delayed for some time. Didn't I miss my boss's business?"
Lei Xiaocheng asked nervously, it would be bad if something went wrong.
"It's very timely and can't be missed. I'm just worried that it won't be safe for you on the road with these books. Now I feel at ease when I see people."
Chuxue said as she picked up the account books and looked through them. If the Baili family found these accounts first, she would suffer a huge loss.
Looking at the clearly recorded accounts inside, Chuxue couldn't help but smile, as if she saw a lot of money waving to her.
"Master Lei, have you checked clearly? It is indeed only Baili Yongkang who did it and has nothing to do with the rest of the Baili family?"
She wanted to use these accounts, but she also had to understand them clearly. If the Baili family really had such ambitions, then she would have no choice but to reluctantly give up these account books to the court.
"After many investigations, the Baili family did not know about the deserters in the northwest at first. Baili Yongkang did it without telling the Baili family. Later, the Baili family should have realized that Baili Yongkang was involved in something in the northwest, but they were already involved.
I can only be restrained by Baili Yongkang, I can only pretend not to know, but secretly I am shrinking Baili Yongkang’s rights!"
After hearing this, Chuxue closed the account book and smiled, "It's a pity that the Baili family has improper management, and it was discovered a little late. Even if such a bastard comes out, there is always a price to pay. With these accounts, I, the road builder,
The money from the water conservancy project settled a large sum... They say the Baili family has a lot of money, so they must not be too stingy."
That's right, she just wanted to use this thing to blackmail the Baili family.
Jin Juetian left her here and went to Baili's family. He must have heard her implication and went to attack Baili's family. The foundation of Baili's family is deep, and one Baili Yongkang is not enough to hurt the foundation of Baili's family. Baili Yongkang
As long as the Baili family is ruthless enough, the things they have done can actually be ignored. At most, they will suffer some losses and contribute some money to the treasury, and the matter will be over. So she must strike while the iron is hot and take advantage of Baili's family.
The Li family had to take action before the problem was resolved, otherwise the court would have nothing to do with her if the Baili family took some money from the Baili family.
Today, Jin Juetian went to Baili's house. In fact, it was just a beating. He didn't want to touch the foundation of Baili's family. Most likely, he also thought that the treasury was empty and he could ask Baili's family to fill the treasury for this matter.
"Boss, who do you think this person is who raises a deserter privately? What a courage. Baili Yongkang has risen in the Baili family in recent years. I'm afraid this person's support is indispensable behind him. The Baili family should still know something about it.
…”
Duan Xiang ate something and analyzed it.
Chuxue nodded, "Baili Yongkang gained power in the Baili family because he had people in the court. The Baili family is a merchant. Since ancient times, no matter how rich a merchant is, he will still be looked down upon. The Baili family has long wanted to change
If you want to become a truly wealthy family, you have to be able to speak in the court. Baili Yongkang has someone in the court, so the Baili family wants to turn a blind eye, so they take advantage of the situation and promote Baili Yongkang.
See if they can do something in the court. When they discovered that the things Baili Yongkang did for the nobleman in the court were very dangerous, they were afraid of getting into trouble and did not dare to gamble with the entire Baili family, so they began to shrink Baili Yongkang.
It’s a pity that Li Yongkang’s rights came too late.”
"Boss, do you know who is behind Baili Yongkang?" Lei Xiaocheng quickly asked.
"Currently, I only know that there is one harem, but there is definitely more than this one."
Chuxue didn't explain it, but it was for their own good. In fact, the things she was doing now were like thin ice. The less she knew, the safer it would be for them.
The main reason is that besides Li Yaoxin, she is not sure who else is there, so she just ignores the matter of Baili Yongkang and does not delve into it for the time being.
Chuxue didn't hear about it, so Lei Xiaocheng and the others stopped asking. After following Chuxue for so long, they still had a clear idea of her temperament.
"Master Lei, Shopkeeper Duan, I have really worked hard for you this time. You have to rest in Yong'an City for two days, and I have to bother you to rush to the garrison city. You are needed there."
If you are one of your own, Chuxue won't be polite.
"My boss has made a serious statement. I heard that construction has started on the garrison city. We also want to rush over to help. We will go there tomorrow!"
Mr. Lei received the news on the way that construction had begun at home. The owner had been planning this for so long, so it was their duty to do their part.
"It won't take more than a day or two. You will be busy when you get back. If you wait for another two days, you may have to escort someone there." We will wait until we go to Mei Mansion tomorrow to check on Mr. Mei's condition.
To be honest, Chu Xue really couldn't bear that Mrs. Mei had to torment and overwork him at such an old age, but she really couldn't find anyone more suitable than him at the moment.
After talking to Li Shunshui tonight, several problems lingering in her heart have been almost solved. Now there is an urgent need for someone like Mr. Mei who has rich experience in these matters to take charge of the overall situation.
She still has things to do when she stays in Yong'an City, so she can't leave for the time being!
In addition, if she went to the garrison city and there were so many eyes staring at her, the Jin family's relocation would be exposed prematurely.
Now, Jin Xinpeng should be aware of it, but it will take some time for his message to be sent from Jinghe, and she has already asked her second uncle to send people to keep an eye on Jin Xinpeng, so his message may have been intercepted.
Maybe, anyway, if this matter can be exposed later, some unnecessary complications can be avoided, and it would be best if the move can be smooth.
Now that the account book has arrived, tomorrow I will go to Baili's house to get some money, and then go to Mei's house.
It was late at night, and Jin Juetian finally breathed a sigh of relief when he finally heard the news about Li Shunshui's return.
He didn't know what he was nervous about.
Also waiting for Li Shunshui to return was Li Fengnian, who was more nervous than Jin Juetian.
"Where did you go this late at night? Why did you come back at this time? Tomorrow is the spring exam. You..." Li Fengnian didn't know what to say. They were all more nervous about the exam than him. Could he be a little more nervous about the exam?
Do you feel like you are going to take the spring exam tomorrow?
Xingwang lowered his head silently, as the young master had told him to keep quiet.
"Don't worry, old man. I know that the spring test is tomorrow and I'm ready. I can't delay it. It's so late, so the old man should rest early."
"You know it's so late, what on earth did you do?"
"I didn't do much... I just went to Jin Yuhou's house and had a long chat."
