"When it comes to accounts, our reputation is more important than our lives. If you think I have cheated, I can ask the Pavilion Master to come over and reconcile the accounts for you personally."

"But if there are no problems with the accounts after reconciliation, then you have to bear the consequences."

Zhang Zhongtian heard Zhu Jingwan's words, but quit. He could just watch the excitement of this family, but it was related to his reputation and the reputation of Jiuxing Pavilion, so he had to refute it.

At this moment, his expression was very serious, and his eyes were full of sharpness.

Zhu Jingwan was choked and speechless. She couldn't even offend Chu Ang, and she couldn't offend Jiuxing Pavilion even more.

The corners of Feng Xiaoqi's lips curled up. The smartest thing she did was to hire people from Jiuxing Pavilion, so that there was no chance of Zhu Jingwan being messy.

"You are very smart in handling this matter. If you had invited a random person back, she might really bite you back now."

Chu Ang also whispered in Feng Xiaoqi's ear with great approval.

"Common people see the general, see His Highness Hades."

The shopkeeper of the jewelry shop was finally brought back by Lin Shumo. He seemed to be extremely frightened. His whole body was shaking like chaff and he knelt on the ground and saluted Chu Ang and Feng Junfan.

When Zhu Jingwan saw the shopkeeper being brought, she became even more panicked.

"See if any of these jewelry are sold by you or made by you."

Feng Junfan was in a very bad mood at the moment and was too lazy to talk nonsense. He pointed to the jewelry box on the ground and gave instructions to the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper nodded in agreement, then went forward humbly, carefully opened the jewelry box, and picked up each piece of jewelry one by one to inspect.

Then he looked up at Zhu Jingwan with a very complicated expression.

Zhu Jingwan seemed to be very anxious. She wanted to give some hints to the shopkeeper, but when the news came from Dong Chuang, suddenly there was no secret code between the two.

"How much of this has passed through your hands? You'd better tell the truth."

Feng Junfan could clearly see the little moves between the shopkeeper and Zhu Jingwan. He walked between the two, blocked their sight, and asked the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was also very conflicted at this moment. He knew that Zhu Jingwan's natal family was very powerful, and whether it was the General's Mansion or the Zhu family, they were the ones he couldn't afford to offend.

"These……"

The shopkeeper's hesitation seemed to indicate that he had made up his mind. He opened his mouth to answer Feng Junfan's question, and everyone present held their breath. After all, what the shopkeeper said could control half of Zhu Jingwan's fate.

"Cough cough cough..."

Just when everyone was very nervous, Chu Ang suddenly coughed twice.

What seemed like a very ordinary cough frightened the shopkeeper all over.

"All the jewelry here has passed through my hands, and all the jewelry that the lady is wearing has also passed through my hands. Apart from these, there are others that are at least twice as many as this."

"In addition, this lady often goes to another store to sell antiques, calligraphy and paintings."

The common people simply couldn't bear the pressure from Chu Ang, so the shopkeeper blurted out the truth without looking at Zhu Jingwan.

God knows, those two coughs almost scared him out of his wits. He feels lucky to still be alive and standing here talking.

The shopkeeper was also thinking that he had made a lot of money in the capital over the years. When he left the general's mansion, he would pack his things and return to his hometown as soon as possible.

When Chu Ang heard the shopkeeper tell all the truth, she collapsed on the ground. She knew that there was no hope for her, and it was not certain whether she would survive this time.

"Where are those things she gave you back?"

Feng Junfan wanted to know the whereabouts of Jiang Jingya's dowry even more at this moment.

Getting those things back is more important than punishing Zhu Jingwan.

"Some of it I've melted down and made into new jewelry, some I've sold and there's still some left here."

As the shopkeeper spoke, he took out a small package from his arms and opened it carefully, revealing Zhen Huan's jewelry inside.

"You black-hearted profiteer, you actually swallowed so many of my things. Didn't you say that these have all melted away?"

When Zhu Jingwan saw the things in the shopkeeper's hands, she immediately became excited and cursed at the shopkeeper.

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

"Snapped!"

Feng Junfan slapped Zhu Jingwan three times in the face, left and right, hitting her in the face so hard that her mind went blank, stars appeared in front of her eyes, and she could no longer say a word.

After three slaps, Feng Junfan kicked Zhu Jingwan again, knocking her to the ground. When she fell, she hit an old injury again and screamed in pain.

Then Feng Junfan ignored Zhu Jingwan at all, but came to the shopkeeper, took the jewelry and put it away carefully.

"Even if you are a general, you can't force it. These are my gold. You can either buy them with money or return them to me."

The shopkeeper lost his gold jewelry and quit working immediately. You must know that this was a large sum of money, enough for him to return to the countryside for several years.

He had offended the Zhu family of the General Mansion and Hades. He would definitely not dare to stay in the capital anymore. If he went back to the countryside, he would have no source of livelihood, so now he has to worry about every tael of silver.

"Don't yell here. Where did you get the gold? You know it yourself."

"These banknotes are for you, no matter if they are enough or not, that's all."

Lin Shumo stepped forward to stop the shopkeeper from yelling and threw him a stack of banknotes.

The shopkeeper got the banknote and listened to Lin Shumo's words. It was true that most of his gold was withheld, and he did not dare to say anything more.

"Send him out first."

Feng Junfan only felt exhausted physically and mentally. He waved his hand and ordered the servants around him to send the shopkeeper away.

"Master, I really know that I was wrong. For all these years you have been at the border and the General's Mansion has relied on my mother's family to take care of you. You must take care of something."

"Otherwise, do you think we orphans and widowers can really live in the capital and the palace without being bullied?"

Zhu Jingwan couldn't sit still and wait for death. She still tried to save something. She begged and explained to Feng Junfan bitterly.

Feng Xiaoqi tilted her head and looked at Zhu Jingwan. Looking at Feng Jiaojiao in a panic and frightened her, she felt a little pleasure in her heart.

"Your daughter is the only one in the capital who is not bullied in the palace, right?"

Feng Junfan stared at Zhu Jingwan and asked in a calm tone.
