Naturally, Zhang Dehui did not dare to quarrel with Xue Panzhen. He just thought that he had failed his wife's instructions and had been prostituted for 500 taels before the original 800 taels were opened. For a while, he couldn't calm down and kept talking.

When Xue Pan was at home, he was beaten and even talked about by Aunt Xue and his sister. Now that he finally came out, he was not only beaten but also talked about by an old man. His head almost exploded.

If he hadn't thought about what this old man had done in the Xue family all his life, he would have really wanted to punch this old bastard.

Just when he couldn't comfort him, Xue Pan saw Jia Qiang appear, as if he saw the Buddha who was rescuing people in distress. He said over and over again: "Brother Qiang, come on, brother Qiang, come on. I'm not convinced by this old guy anymore. You

Talk to him!"

Zhang Dehui was also grateful for Jia Qiang's timely appearance yesterday and kowtowed to him.

Jia Qiang stopped him first and said with a smile: "It would be too outrageous for you to kowtow to me for your age."

Zhang Dehui shook his head and said: "If Mr. Qiang hadn't arrived in time yesterday, our brother would have been in big trouble. Now he is the only one in the Xue family's big house. If something goes wrong, my old face will be smashed."

I can’t see my wife again! I just don’t understand. I am seventeen or eighteen years old, how can a twelve-year-old child be like this..."

Before he finished speaking, Xue Pan, who couldn't bear it anymore, started yelling: "You old guy, you drank too much yellow soup? I can't beat him, sir? It's because of that little ball..."

"Okay! Manager Zhang also cares about you, what are you scolding?"

After Jia Qiang stopped Xue Pan from yelling and scolding, she said to Zhang Dehui: "Your husband is going home to have a rest. Don't worry about Brother Xue. Yesterday, he went to Pearl Pavilion not just to have fun, but also to talk.

It's a serious business. You should go home and have a good rest for two days, then come over to discuss it and see if cooperation can work out."

As soon as these words came out, not to mention Zhang Dehui, even Xue Pan lying on the bed was stunned...

Went to talk about business yesterday?

What are you talking about? Let Jin Yue from Pearl Pavilion play the flute for him?

Naturally, an old man like Zhang Dehui would not be coaxed easily. He looked at Jia Qiang suspiciously and said, "Second Master, please don't cover up for our uncle..."

Jia Qiang waved her hand and said, "If you are not tired, we can talk now."

Zhang Dehui said hurriedly: "I'm not tired, I'm not tired. If there is really a way to make a living, it would be better to discuss it now."

The reason why he was so panicked was because Aunt Xue entrusted him with eight hundred taels of silver before leaving the capital.

Now Xue Pan secretly touched the boat and went shopping. If he wanted to keep this old face, he would have to make up for it with his own blood.

But he had earned a lifetime of family fortune, which only amounted to two or three thousand gold. If he took out half of it to go to Xue Pan for prostitution, it would cost him his life!

Now that I heard that there was a turning point, I was naturally very interested.

After sitting down, Jia Qiang looked at the two of them and said: "Brother Xue also heard it yesterday. I have a prescription in my hand, and I want to cooperate with the Qi family and the Xu family to make a living in the ice room. Because I have a prescription that can greatly reduce the cost of mining.

Ice difficulty, so this business is very profitable."

Only then did Xue Pan react. He widened his eyes and said anxiously: "Well, Brother Qiang, such a good thing, why don't you come to find me? My Xue Jiafeng brand has many stores in Southern Province. We can do it ourselves.

Do it! What are you going to do with that arrogant bastard from the Qi family?"

Jia Qiang waved her hand and said: "Don't worry...Although the Xue family has businesses in various provinces, you have all been lucky in moving there. As the saying goes, the tea gets cold when people leave. Many human relationships may not be able to be resolved.

Just like before. Brother Xue, think about it, if the Xue family had not moved to the capital, if the Xue family had still been as powerful as before, the four majestic Jinling families, the Qi family would have had the attitude they had yesterday? This is just one of them..."

Although Xue Pan was angry when he heard this, he could still listen to Jia Qiang's words. He was inevitably frustrated and said in a low voice: "Then what is the second one?"

Jia Qiang did not look at him anymore, but looked at Zhang Dehui and said: "General Manager Zhang is the old shopkeeper of Feng Zihao. You should know what Feng Zihao was like when Uncle Xue's uncle was there, and what it is like now." .”

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Dehui's expression changed slightly.

Xue Pan on the side couldn't understand, frowned and asked: "What does this mean? My father is gone, Feng Zihao will still be Feng Zihao."

Jia Qiang shook her head and said: "With Uncle Shi gone, the Feng brand may not be the same as before. At least, the shopkeepers and clerks in various provinces and places may not be as obedient and fearful as before. Although I I haven't seen it with my own eyes, but human nature is like this. The boss should know that in the past few years since Uncle Xue Shishu's death, has the annual income ledger of Feng Brand been less and less every year? For those with more evil intentions, even if there is a deficit, it may not be impossible. "

When Zhang Dehui heard this, his expression changed again, he frowned and said slowly: "In recent years, business has indeed not been as easy as it was during the Jingchu years..."

Jia Qiang smiled and shook her head when she heard this: "If it were other businesses, maybe so. But the Xue family's main business now is the pawnshop, Mr. Zhang. If people don't tell secrets, shouldn't the pawnshop business be more relevant to the current situation? A difficult situation becomes more prosperous?"

Xue Pan understood these words, and now it was better. He pulled off the quilt and stopped pretending to be seriously ill. He jumped off the bed and said: "Okay, these greedy beasts are greedy for Uncle Xue." , let’s see if I don’t smash their heads!!” At this point, his expression suddenly changed, because he suddenly remembered something: “Loss? Damn it, I remember, Zhang Dehui, you two bastards have been losing money continuously. Three years!!”

Jia Qiang frowned when she heard this, looked sideways at Zhang Dehui, who looked gloomy, stopped Xue Pan who was about to hit the old man, and said: "Brother Xue, calm down first!"

Xue Pan was obedient. He knew in his heart that if Jia Qiang hadn't revealed the matter today, Feng Zihao would have been eaten up and drunk by these beasts, leaving behind a huge debt!

Jia Qiang looked at Zhang Dehui and said: "Boss, you should know that last night I knew the Qi family, the Chen family, the Li family, the Peng family, and the Xu family. We don't know each other without fighting. Let's not talk about other things. The Xu family, who wants to cooperate with me in making a living in the ice room, has been in charge of the Yangzhou government office for three consecutive generations. It shouldn't be difficult for me to gather a dozen accounting offices to help the Xue family check the accounts, right? Think about it, I can help The Xue family will investigate, and the Zhang family will be the first to investigate. If any results are found, what will happen to the Zhang family?"

Xue Pan scolded an emissary on the side: "What else will happen? Just lock up the officials and confiscate the house to pay for the money! Let the Yamen play three hundred big boards first, the women will sell, and there will be a group of football players. I will buy them all back." …”

Zhang Dehai's face turned pale. Jia Qiang waved her hand and persuaded: "Brother Xue, Mr. Zhang's son is confused, but Mr. Zhang is still good. After all, the old man has worked hard for your Xue family all his life. Now, one day Even at this age, you are still running around. You don’t look at the monk’s face or the Buddha’s face. As long as the Zhang family can return the greedy money, and those who made mistakes will resign automatically, don’t be sent to the official position..."

"I……"

Xue Pan was not willing to accept this grievance, but after seeing Jia Qiang's solemn gaze, he decided to listen again and asked: "Brother Qiang, what do you think we should do?"

Jia Qiang smiled and said: "Just do as I say. What do you say, boss?"

What else can Zhang Dehui say?

As long as the Xue family is alone, he can still use some tricks to evade the situation.

There are only a few orphans and widowed mothers left in the Xue family's big house, and they all know nonsense.

But now...

The second master of the Jia family is smarter than a monkey even without his hair.

Just looking at the method he mentioned, if there are more than a dozen accounting offices outside, it will be difficult for the Zhang family not to die.

He hasn't used his brain very much in recent years, but he can't bear the fact that his two sons are evil-minded and actually reported losses for three consecutive years...

In the past three years, all the money earned by the Jinling Feng brand has been wasted, and some of it has been short-changed...

Now that the Xue family knows about it, and with the support of the ruthless Jia family, the Zhang family is only one step away from being destroyed.

Fortunately, Mr. Jia was kind-hearted and left a way to survive.

Zhang Dehui, who had white hair and beard, knelt down and kowtowed, crying: "Second Master Qiang and Uncle Qiang can leave a way for my old slave family to survive. I am very grateful! How dare you say anything else? When I get home, I will let you go immediately."

Those two beasts will pay back the money, and then kowtow to Second Master Qiang and Uncle Qiang!"

Jia Qiang raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "The boss is really willing to join the Xue family as slaves?"

Zhang Dehui hesitated when he heard this. Although he worked under a small name called Feng, he was not actually a slave.

Once you become a slave, especially if you are sold on a death contract, your life and death are really in the hands of your master, and you can only remain a slave for generations to come.

However, before he could think about it, Xue Pan gritted his teeth and said: "How much more can we do without this? If the Zhang family does not serve as this slave, even if the old man can be spared, the rest of his family will be sent to the official and beaten to death!"

Zhang Dehui was a shrewd man after all, and kowtowed: "Of course I am willing, of course I am willing!"

Jia Qiang smiled and said: "Well, I will arrange a team of salt guards to take you home. Within three days, Brother Xue and I will see Zhenzhang. In addition, the accounts will still be audited. As long as the Zhang family sleeps better, it will be done this time

I won’t send you to the official. Tell your two sons that if they want to hide and commit adultery, just hide them. But next time, you won’t be able to protect them with your old face.”

Zhang Dehui hurriedly swore: "If they still dare to do this, I will just treat them like two bastard sons and kill them directly!"

Jia Qiang nodded, called someone from outside, wrote a note asking him to take Zhang Dehui to see Butler Wang, and sent him off.

After Zhang Dehui left, Jia Qiang looked at Xue Pan and said, "Brother Xue, are you willing to have someone check the background of your Feng brand?"

Xue Pan shouted: "How can I not do this? Check it! Check it to death! I don't have any money to use, and those greedy guys still dare to steal my money! If you find out, you will pay me money! Brother Qiang,

How can you let Zhang Dehui go? This old guy doesn’t look like a good person!"

Jia Qiang said helplessly: "We are all dead, who will do the work? The new recruits may not be reliable. This time, it is best not to send anyone to the official position, but only to confiscate the family property. With the remaining wealth, let's work together to do big things."

If we don’t touch the original family property, then my concubine won’t say anything else.”

Xue Pan was overjoyed when he heard this and said: "Brother Qiang, you are still clever! If Feng brand is really split, my mother will cry and curse again, but your method is better! By the way, brother Qiang, then we can get money.

What are you going to do for a living in the end? I have earned money this time, and I will let my mother and sister know what I can do when I go back!"

Jia Qiang smiled and said with a subtle look: "Maybe he is a theater actor... I heard that among the eight major salt merchants in Yangzhou, the Bai family's salt sales are not very good, but their opera troupe is famous throughout Jiangnan.
