The best county magistrate

Yang Xuanchen revealed a lot of news about this year’s sea salt share auction at the night banquet.

After hearing this, all the merchants naturally had corresponding concerns in their hearts.

Even Xie Tianjie was no exception. After returning to his residence, he discussed countermeasures with several accountants below.

Yang Xuanchen and Zhao Xue, who had returned to the county government, had different expressions.

The former's eyebrows were furrowed, as if he had countless doubts but they were stuck in his heart and he didn't know who to talk to.

The latter was very nervous, patting his belly and looking satisfied, finally having a big meal of fish and meat.

Oil lamps were lit in the East Flower Hall, and the three girls were making tea and chatting about their parents' affairs.

Seeing that Yang Xuanchen and the others were back, they moved the stools to make room for the two of them.

"Master, why are you so sad when you come back from a banquet? Is the Xie family giving you a problem?"

It was Xiaolian who spoke.

Zhou Miaomiao and Yu Wei looked at Yang Xuanchen as they listened, slightly worried in their beautiful eyes.

Yang Xuanchen sighed first, and then drank the whole cup of tea.

Then he shook his head to make his bangs look more natural.

"Am I handsome?"

The sudden question made all the girls giggle.

"Handsome, don't be too handsome, the master is the most handsome." This is what Zhao Xue said.

"You just have to be fairer. If you're tired of seeing it, it's just like that..." Zhou Miaomiao curled her lips.

Yu Wei and Xiao Lian did not speak, but the teasing look in their eyes told him what they wanted to say.

Yang Xuanchen sighed again, "I also know that I am handsome, but I never thought that one day I would be noticed by a man."

puff.

puff.

Zhao Xue and Yu Wei squirted out a mouthful of tea at the same time, showing shocked expressions.

"What did you say? Are you attracted by a man?" Zhou Miaomiao asked in disbelief.

"Master, you mean... you mean Xie Tianjie from the Xie family?"

As soon as Zhao Xue's words came out, the three women exclaimed at the same time.

"Husband, tell me what's going on, and we will help you analyze it together."

Yu Wei put down the cup, patted his hand gently, and said lightly.

She is relatively experienced in this kind of thing.

Because there are many women in the Yingyue Tower, and they have grown up together and have a good relationship, naturally there are some couples who are worthy of Mo Jing.

"Being attracted by a man means that my husband is definitely one of a million."

"But, if Master Xie is the one who takes the initiative..."

Yu Wei's words aroused the curiosity of Xiaolian and Zhou Miaomiao. The three of them whispered to each other for a while, and then the two women spat with disdain in their eyes.

"Master, what are the ladies saying?"

"What else can I say? Do you want to hear the difference between attacking and receiving?" Yang Xuanchen said angrily, curling his lips.

"If you want it, say it quickly."

"You know the people with the cut sleeves, but there are three types of people with the cut sleeves. One is called attacking, the other is called receiving, and the third is attacking and receiving at the same time."

Since they were all his own, Yang Xuanchen didn't shy away from it and told him everything he knew about homosexuality.

After Zhao Xue heard this, her mouth opened so wide that she could fit an egg in.

"Originally, I thought that only women in the world steal other people's husbands, but I didn't expect that even men have joined the ranks." Zhou Miaomiao joked.

"Miaomiao, let's listen to what the young master has to say first, and stop making fun of him." Xiaolian said.

So, Yang Xuanchen told about his experience with Zhao Xue in the afternoon, hoping that the three women would give some advice.

"In my opinion, this Xie Tianjie is most likely what my husband is talking about."

"After various businesses entered Qingshui County, I asked June to investigate them one by one."

"In the news returned from June, there is a person whose appearance and behavior are quite similar to the Xie Tianjie mentioned by my husband. I think it is the same person."

Yang Xuanchen raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Yu Wei's work was so meticulous, and that June was already qualified to spy on intelligence.

He asked: "What did that girl say in June?"

Yu Wei first glanced at Zhao Xue and then at Yang Xuanchen, as if asking: "The princess is here, is it convenient?"

"Tell me, Xiaoxue is not an outsider."

His words moved Zhao Xue so much.

The eye contact between Yu Wei and Yang Xuanchen did not escape her eyes. She originally thought that due to her status, she would avoid saying something to herself.

I didn’t expect that I was one of his own in his eyes, but if I can’t be his apprentice, I want to be his master’s wife!

"June didn't inquire deeply, just took a look at the surface."

"Xie Tianjie appears to be a handsome young man in front of others, but his details are a bit feminine, especially his unintentional mannerisms and expressions."

"There is one more thing that husbands need to pay attention to. Xie Tianjie is not simple..."

Yu Wei's words attracted the attention of several people. The young boss of a trading company would definitely not be simple, but it was very thought-provoking to hear from her that she needed to pay attention to him.

"Five years ago, the Xie family went to Liangzhou with goods, and it was Xie Tianjie who went there himself."

"We encountered barbarian raids on the road. If we relied solely on the Xie family's guardians, even if Xie Tianjie didn't die, he would have suffered heavy damage."

"However, only a few people from the Xie family died that time, and only a few of the barbarian team of more than a hundred people escaped..."

"Weiwei, you mean there are experts in the Xie family's nursing home?" Yang Xuanchen asked.

"It's certain that there are experts in the nursing home, but the news I got is that Xie Tianjie's deeds are like a god of murder."

"What?!" Several people exclaimed.

"Xie Tianjie knows martial arts?"

Yu Wei nodded, her tone a little more cautious, "The barbarian cavalry of more than a hundred people, against dozens of people from the trading company, should have been a one-sided situation."

"Even Master Wang doesn't dare to fight head-on, but Xie Tianjie is the one who almost completely annihilated the opponent."

"I suspect that his own strength has reached a very terrifying level, and there must be many heavenly masters in the Xie family's nursing home!"

As expected of an intelligence chief, the information she gave was undoubtedly correct.

At this time, Yang Xuanchen frowned and thought about Xie Tianjie. For a moment, his mind seemed to be a mess.

A businessman is a good talker, and he is a peerless master.

Coupled with the confession of the man in black on Nanping Road, Yang Xuanchen believed that Xie Tianjie definitely had murderous intentions towards him.

If it weren't for the broken sleeves, I'm afraid I would have gone to the Hongmen Banquet today.

"Put this aside in advance. When I meet him today, there are still many doubts that have not been answered."

"But the way he looked at me made me very uncomfortable. For the next auction, Miaomiao and Weiwei will work harder and help Lao Wei run it, so I won't show up."

Yang Xuanchen decided to wait until he was busy before thinking about Xie Tianhua's affairs.

As he spoke, he patted Xiao Lian's little hand and led the topic away, "Lian'er, the Chinese New Year will be in just over a month."

"Does the little housekeeper have to tell us about the harvest of these industries?"

Facing his teasing, Xiao Lian smiled back and said, "Master, you are making fun of Lian'er again."

After a while, Xiaolian took out an account book.

"Let me tell you the total number first. Currently, our private property totals 18 million taels of silver. Of course, there are still some fractions."

"This number is close to the total of four years, and I think it will increase every year from now on."

"Excluding daily expenses and normal tax payments to the court, the tax revenue of Qingshui County was reported by Zhu Cheng to be more than 300,000 taels."

"Oh, by the way, young master, Lian'er inquired about it and found out that the wealth of the Pingzhou Wang family, the richest man in Dayan, is about fifteen to six million taels of silver."

"But a lot of their wealth is in land, houses and other industries."

"..."

Zhou Miaomiao and Yu Wei were so excited that they held their hands together, while Zhao Xue's peach blossom eyes widened in shock after hearing the numbers.

Yang Xuanchen looked at the different expressions of the women, but he was not too surprised by these numbers.

"Ladies, your husband-in-law is already extremely rich!"

"Should we also think about it, pick a day, let's get married first, and let the children enjoy the life of the rich second generation?"
