I made the villain right.

I saw a group of people dressed in gorgeous clothes, who were obviously from the palace, striding towards me with their heads held high.

Seeing this, everyone hurriedly stepped back, their eyes full of curiosity and awe.

Others were talking quietly.

"Why are people from the palace here too?"

"Maybe he has committed a crime."

"No way. I heard that this Fu Meng Xuan was opened by the prince of Shengqing. He is a royal relative, who would dare to offend him?"

There was a lot of speculation.

Leading the group was Eunuch Hong, whose eyes were shrewd and sharp, and whose every move was filled with the majesty gained from years of experience in the palace.

Following behind him were several eunuchs carrying something covered with red cloth, which looked very mysterious.

Eunuch Hong had just stepped over the threshold of Fumengxuan when a secret guard hiding in the dark passed the news to Fan Hua.

At that time, in the private room of Fumengxuan, the aroma of tea was rising.

Fan Hua, Shi Jin and four others were sitting together, sipping tea leisurely.

A guard knocked on the door twice regularly and then walked in.

He clasped his fists and said loudly: "Master, Eunuch Hong is here."

When everyone heard this, the four of them looked stern, with a hint of doubt on their faces.

Fan Hua murmured in a low voice: "Why is he here?"

Speculating that Eunuch Hong was most likely here with His Majesty's order, the four of them quickly stood up and went downstairs to greet him.

As soon as I got downstairs, I saw Eunuch Hong standing in the middle of the lobby.

Eunuch Hong had sharp eyes and saw Fan Hua at a glance. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, forming a perfect smile.

Then, he took small steps and walked in front of Fan Hua and Li Muci, bowed respectfully, and said, "This old servant greets the two princes."

Then he said respectfully to Fan Hua and Li Muci: "This old servant greets the two princes."

"Eunuch Hong, what is the important matter that has brought you here this time?" Fan Hua spoke first.

Eunuch Hong stood up, his expression solemn, "Your Majesty heard that the prince opened his business today, so he sent this old servant to deliver a plaque to express his blessing."

Eunuch Hong waved his hand, and the eunuch behind him understood and immediately removed the red cloth.

In an instant, an ebony and gold-painted plaque appeared.

The four big characters "make a fortune every day" are written with strong and powerful strokes and majestic momentum.

"Thanks to your Majesty for caring about me and giving me a plaque. I will remember this gift in my heart. Please convey my gratitude to your Majesty for me."

Eunuch Hong still had a faint smile on his face, and there was a barely perceptible gleam in his eyes.

"His Majesty has ordered that the Crown Prince be invited to the palace for a chat. The Crown Prince should personally meet His Majesty to express his gratitude."

It is hard to disobey the emperor's will, so Fan Hua and Jin said goodbye to each other immediately.

"I will follow the eunuch into the palace first. There is nothing to do here, so you can go back home first."

Shi Jin nodded and said, "Okay."

Not long after Fan Hua and Eunuch Hong left, Li Muci and Shi Xiaomian also left one after another.

Shi Jin was not in a hurry to return home, but stayed in Fumengxuan.

Gu Cheng was busy sorting out today's accounts.

Shi Jin approached quietly, with a look of anticipation on his face, and said, "Uncle Gu, could you please help me calculate how much we have harvested today?"

Gu Cheng raised the corner of his mouth and revealed a smile.

"Today, the store is doing a booming business. There are many documents, and it will take some time to calculate them. Madam, you should go back home and wait. After I have calculated them, I will send the account book to your house as soon as possible for you to review."

"Don't bother with that. It will only take a quarter of an hour."

At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from the door, with a confident and decisive tone.

Shi Jin looked in the direction of the voice and saw Luo Yi standing at the door with a smile on her face.

She had nothing to do so she wanted to go shopping in the store and saw this scene as she entered.

Shi Jin unconsciously smiled and said, "Yiyi, you came at the right time."

Luo Yi walked calmly to the counter, picked up the account book on the table and glanced at it casually.

Then he looked up, his eyes full of confidence, and said, "Leave it to me."

Gu Cheng knew very well that Luo Yi had excellent mental arithmetic skills and was especially adept at handling accounts.

Hearing this, he quickly made room for her without saying anything, and praised with a smile: "With Dean Luo taking over, the account will be settled quickly."

Luo Yi then spread the account book flat on the table and took out the abacus and placed it aside.

Then his fingers moved quickly on the abacus, his movements skillful and smooth.

My ears are filled with the crisp sound of beads colliding, each one pleasing to the ear.

Soon, the originally complicated accounts were sorted out clearly and easily understandable in her hands.

Luo Yi stopped what he was doing, put down the account book, and said crisply and decisively: "The total is fifty-nine thousand taels."

Shi Jin looked at Luo Yi with admiration in his eyes.

Without hesitation, he gave Luo Yi a thumbs up, his tone full of sincerity and praise: "Yi Yi, you are awesome!"

When Gu Cheng heard this number, his face was filled with disbelief and astonishment.

"Today's harvest is four times greater than in the past. It's unimaginable."

After saying that, he flipped through the accounts to check, his eyes moving eagerly between the pages, examining them carefully.

After confirming, he looked at Luo Yi with eyes full of admiration and praise: "The lucky draw event planned by Madam is really a way to make money, it's really great."

Hearing Gu Cheng's praise, she waved her hand, her tone full of confidence and calmness, and said in a low-key manner: "This is just the beginning, there will be more wealth in the future."

Inside the palace, in a quiet garden, a cold wind was blowing.

Xu Wusheng, dressed in thick casual clothes, walked leisurely towards a pavilion.

Fan Hua had been waiting here for a long time. He sat with an upright posture and calmly, without showing any sign of restraint.

Xu approached silently with a casual smile on his face and waved his hand to signal the servants beside him to step back.

Fan Hua stood up to bow, Xu Wusheng quickly raised his hand and said, "There's no need for all this red tape today, just be casual."

The two sat opposite each other. There was a stove on the stone table, on which fragrant meat slices were roasting. There were also several plates of exquisite sauces and tea cups next to them.

His Majesty picked up a skewer of barbecue, handed it to Fan Hua, and said, "Come, try this barbecue."

Fan Hua bowed slightly and took it, saying, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

His Majesty took a bite of the roast meat and looked thoughtful, as if he was weighing his words.

Then he personally poured a cup of tea for Fan Hua and said, "Brother Fan, I came to you this time because I have something to discuss with you."

"Your Majesty, please speak at your pleasure."

His Majesty took a sip of tea and said, "Fengyun Pavilion is full of talents and extraordinary strength. I intend to recruit Fengyun Pavilion to serve the court. I want to establish an institution independent of all officials and the six ministries, which will only obey my orders and be managed by you. What do you think?"

Fan Hua was slightly stunned and the barbecue in his hand stopped at his mouth.

After thinking for a moment, he cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance. Fengyun Pavilion has been in the martial arts world for many years and has always been accustomed to freedom. I am afraid that it will be difficult to adapt to the many rules and regulations if we suddenly enter the court."

Xu Wusheng nodded slightly and said, "Fengyun Pavilion is a killer organization in the martial arts world. Because of this, it has a bad reputation and is regarded as an evil sect by the world. But I know that there are many people like Brother Fan who have unique skills and are loyal and brave."

Xu Wusheng paused for a moment and said, "If Fengyun Pavilion can be used by the court, abandon its past bad reputation, and use this power for the right cause, it will surely make greater contributions to the country. I also understand your concerns and will give you enough autonomy and generous treatment."

Fan Hua had no interest in power, and even more so disliked the intrigues and deceptions in the court. He had already decided to refuse.

Moreover, emperors have always been suspicious since ancient times. Serving an emperor is like serving a tiger. If you are not careful, you may end up in danger of death.

At the moment, his words were sincere. If I refused too directly and went against the emperor's will, it would not only make him unhappy, but also make him feel that I was ungrateful and even suspect that Fengyun Pavilion had ulterior motives.

Fan Hua put down the barbecue in his hand, his expression solemn, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, please allow me to think about it again."

Xu Wusheng smiled and said, "It's okay, you can think about it slowly."

He picked up another piece of barbecue for him and said, "Come on, let's continue eating meat and talking freely."

Fan Hua quickly responded, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your understanding."
