Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up

The sun was shining brightly, and in the study of a luxurious mansion on the outskirts of Fucheng, there was an old man in his seventies. This was Ji Ming, the father-in-law of He Hai, the sixth prince of the current dynasty, who was also Ji Guogong.

Ji Ming was playing with a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, and standing next to him was a man who looked like a butler, pouring tea for him.

Behind him, Lin Fang, a thin man in his forties, was bending down to report on his work, with a panicked expression on his face, wiping the sweat from his forehead as he spoke.

After listening to the man behind him finish speaking, Ji Ming turned around. Although he was holding a Buddhist bead in his hand, his expression was serious and sinister.

Ji Ming's eyes were like an eagle, staring sharply at the bent man in front of him: "If you can't handle this, what use do you have?"

"Yes, yes~" Lin Fang nodded repeatedly: "The master taught you the right lesson! Logically speaking, this shopkeeper Qiu is not such an unreliable person. I'll go take a look and see if anything happened!"

Hearing this, Ji Ming's face softened a little, turned his head, closed his eyes and continued to play with the beads.

The butler next to him winked at Lin Fang and waved his hand, and then he bent down and retreated.

"Master, don't be angry. I feel that despite the delay, shopkeeper Qiu has never made any mistakes in these years, and this time will definitely be no exception." Butler Hong Wu said with a careful smile.

"Humph!"

Ji Ming snorted coldly: "Having said that, I also know that this rich hater doesn't dare to have second thoughts, but being unable to stand up to others will be a stumbling block. How many eyes are staring at us! We have to be careful and don't let Yan'er Difficult.

Ji Ming has opened brothels and gambling houses in more than a dozen counties in the capital. On the surface, he is the boss, but in fact the real owner behind the scenes is the Sixth Prince He Hai.

As a princess, Yan'er would not be a trivial matter if outsiders knew that they were setting up a local brothel and gambling house to make money.

What the emperor hates most is when one person achieves enlightenment and chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. If he knew that the people below him were using nepotism to make the Dazhi Dynasty a mess, they might even drag the prince down.

The dozen or so brothels and gambling houses in this city have to reconcile their accounts every once in a while. Now, except for Heyang County, all the accounts of other counties have been sorted out. If anything goes wrong, Lin Fang, as the chief accountant, will be responsible.

"In this case, you and Lin Fang go away." Ji Ming turned his head and stared at Hong Wu with his eagle-like eyes, which made Hong Wu's heart tremble and a suffocating sense of oppression filled the air.

"Yes, my subordinates will go right away." Butler Hong bent down and backed away, fleeing as fast as he could.

Lin Fang bowed out of Ji Ming's study, closed the door, and then stood up straight. He looked solemn and composed himself, and pondered for a while.

When something goes wrong, there must be something evil. Now that the accounts from Heyang County have not been handed in yet, it seems that I have to go to Hongyuan Gambling House.

"Manager Lin, wait!"

The door creaked open again, and Butler Hong's voice came from behind.

"Oops! What's the matter?" Lin Fang cried out, his heart raised again, and his figure unconsciously bent down again. He turned his head and said with a smile: "Butler Hong, what's the matter?"

In front of Lin Fang, Butler Hong was superior to others. He stood up straight and put his hands behind his back and said, "Master asked me to go with you."

"That's great! Butler Hong please~"

Without further ado, the two of them left Ji's Mansion, jumped on the carriage, and headed straight to Heyang County...

This rich Qiu was afraid of what might come. As soon as Yang Wei was trained away, someone came to report that someone was coming from Fucheng.

Shopkeeper Qiu's heart skipped a beat. It seemed that the superiors were still anxious, and they didn't know who they had sent. Thinking of Mr. Ji's sinister eyes, Shopkeeper Qiu's scarred face twitched.

When his men brought the person in, Qiu Fu breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the person clearly. It turned out that it was Hong Wu, the housekeeper of Ji's Mansion, followed by Lin Fang, the accountant.

"Steward Hong, Steward Lin, come on, please sit down!"

Completely different from his usual serious look, Qiu Fu knelt down and extended his hand to make a gesture of invitation, then turned around and shouted: "Come here, serve tea quickly!"

After a while, a maid came up with two cups of tea and placed them on the coffee table between the two of them.

"Steward Hong, Steward Lin, you two are really rare guests! Why did you come without notifying me in advance so that I could pick you up." Qiu Fu said with a smile.

"Humph!"

Butler Hong glanced at Qiu Fu coldly: "Shopkeeper Qiu, why are we here today? You should know what you are doing, so I don't need to explain it clearly, right?"

Qiu Fu suddenly had a smile on his face and thought to himself: That's fine! It's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that cannot be avoided. There is no way to avoid this, so I simply said calmly: "I don't want to hide it from you now, Butler Hong, come with me!"

Seeing Qiu Fu's expression, Butler Hong frowned, and looked at each other with Lin Fang, feeling increasingly uneasy, and followed him together.

Qiu Fu pushed the door of the vault and raised his hand to make a gesture: "Steward Hong, look!"

Looking at the scattered empty wooden boxes in the room, Lin Da ran forward in shock: "Shopkeeper Qiu, what's going on?"

After listening to Qiu Fu explain everything in detail, Lin Fang and Hong Wu's faces became darker and darker. They guessed that things might have changed, but they didn't expect it to be so bad.

"I thought this matter would come to light soon, but who would have thought that it has been delayed for so many days." Qiu Fu said dejectedly: "Steward Lin, here is the account book, take a look!" He handed it to Lin Fang. Ledger.

"I have done everything well, but who knew that something like this would happen at the critical moment. Now I have reported the case, but the government has not given an explanation yet and just asked us to wait.

I want to carry Mr. Ji out, suppress them, and let them solve the case early, but I am afraid because Mr. Ji said that the government cannot find him, and I am in a dilemma. "Qiu Fu said helplessly.

"You~ really disappoint me!" Lin Fang pointed at Qiu Fu.

In the past, Lin Fang was the person who followed him and was also a distant relative of his mother's natal family, because one time it happened that one of Master Ji's men committed a crime in the brothel run by Master Ji, and was beaten half to death by Master Ji and thrown out.

Because this man was familiar with Master Ji's schedule and routine, he later came back to assassinate Master Ji. At that time, there was no one around Master Ji, so he almost succeeded.

Fortunately, Qiu Fu appeared at the last moment by mistake, blocked the knife for Master Ji, saved his life, and subdued the gangster. The scar on his face was also caused by this incident, and it also made Master Ji remember him. .

As for the man who committed the assassination, Master Ji didn't give him a chance this time. He was beaten to death with sticks and dragged to a mass grave.

Later, another gambling house opened in Heyang County, and it was necessary to arrange for someone to come over. Lin Fang recommended Qiu Fu to Ji Ming and asked him to come over and become the shopkeeper.
