Lord Shoufu, your wife has escaped!

Bai Yuxin woke up suddenly, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to the side, feeling empty, only to realize that Gu Mingzhou hadn't come back yet.

The charcoal fire in the house has been extinguished, and it is extremely quiet outside the window, not even a clapper can be heard.

Suddenly no sleepiness.

Looking from the window, the sky was gray and bright, Bai Yuxin calculated the time and got up to get dressed.

Recently, the court has not been peaceful, and Gu Mingzhou seldom talked with him about the affairs of the court, but Bai Yuxin has his own information channel, and knows that the Qingliu Party and the First Auxiliary Party are fighting.

The folks basically don't care about it. After all, the two parties often fight. Everyone was excited to eat melons at first, but later it became normal.

However, Bai Yuxin smelled something unusual, and his nerves became sharper.

Whenever there is a change in personnel, there must be someone who is in decline. If they are forced to leave the capital, all the shops and houses in their hands will be sold. At this time, the sooner you make a move, the more advantage you will have.

Bai Yuxin is already very proficient in these transactions. So far, he has acquired more than ten shops in the capital. In order to avoid risks, he also asked Ah Cai to purchase some properties in Hangzhou and Yangzhou to maintain value.

There was nothing wrong with the left and right, so Bai Yuxin wrapped up his cloak and went out to collect the bill.

In the Xiao Mansion, the doorman was yawning with his hips crossed, with a tired look on his face. When he saw Bai Yuxin approaching, he subconsciously glanced at him critically, and felt contempt in his heart.

Don't look at him, although he is dressed cleanly, but his clothes and shoes are made of green cotton, and he has no gold, silver or jewelry on his whole body, but there is a jade pendant around his waist, but one can tell that it is only two or three taels Street stalls of silver.

The boy usually sees countless high-ranking officials and dignitaries, and with his sharp eyesight, he can tell that this person must have worked hard to gather such a suit of clothes, and came to ask their master to do something.

Immediately shouted: "Who is it? Look clearly, this is the mansion of the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, not everyone can join in the fun!"

"I know," Bai Yuxin said, "I'm here to collect the bill."

Oh, so the guy in the shop.

The contempt in the boy's eyes grew stronger.

Although he may not earn as much as the buddy, the key lies in the difference in class. The businessman deals with some top-notch schools all day long, but he faces all the celebrities from all walks of life in the capital, so he is naturally full of a sense of superiority.

"Which shop is it?"

Bai Yuxin hesitated for a moment, and said, "Jinnan Tower."

"come in."

The servant took him to the concierge, came over with a pot of tea, and poured him a cup casually: "The housekeeper and accountant are busy with the master's business, just wait."

Bai Yuxin frowned: "I have a lot of things to do, can I ask the butler earlier..."

"You have a lot of things to do, but others don't have much to do?" The boy glared at him, "There will be people from other shops coming later, and when they all come, the housekeeper will naturally look for you!"

After that, he walked away arrogantly.

Bai Yuxin had no choice but to lower his head to pick up the teacup, but unexpectedly the tea was cold, the soup was cloudy, and many broken tea leaves were still dangling in the cup.

Not only bad quality tea, but also overnight.

I don't know if it was because of the boy's attitude or because of the cup of tea, Bai Yu felt disgusted in his confidence, and put down the cup expressionlessly.

At the same time, in the mansion.

Xiao Yu returned to the mansion angrily, stepped on a few slippery fallen leaves, nearly slipped, and couldn't help but angrily said: "Whoever is worth it, won't the ground be swept!"

The housekeeper hurriedly turned around and scolded: "Where are the people sweeping today, why don't you come over and apologize!"

When Xiao Yu thought of the scene in court today, he became very angry.

Last time in the Xianzhou Dashui case, Gu Mingzhou gave them an uppercut, which gave them a momentary advantage. These days, Qingliu became proud. He wanted to investigate the people who had lost the evidence, and forced Zhang Li and others to plead guilty. It's a headache!

Xiao Yu hadn't suffered such a disadvantage in the court for a long time, and his stomach was full of anger.

However, the more he scolded Gu Mingzhou bloody, the more anxious he felt.

What Gu Mingzhou said that day was still in his ears, Xiao Yu vaguely felt that Zhang Li's downfall might be coming soon, on the one hand he was worried that he would lose his reputation and his official career, and on the other hand he was even more worried that Zhang Li would push the people around him to take the blame. When disaster strikes, I'm afraid the entire Xiao family will lose their lives.

——The left and right are powerful ministers, doesn't the teacher want to hold the power with his own hands?

The boy's voice seemed to be bewitching, and it rang softly in his ears.

Xiao Yu took a deep breath and slowly closed his eyes.

The butler at the side pointed at the servant who was sweeping and scolded: "What are you doing to eat? You almost hurt the master! Everyone has their own errands, and because of you, I still have a bunch of merchants hanging out outside without handing over!"

Xiao Yu was irritated when he heard it, and was about to speak, but a flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind.

"Shops? Where are they from?"

The housekeeper quickly said, "It's just some clothing stores and tea merchants who are here to settle the bill today."

"Is there the one in Hangzhou Jinnan Building?"

"Yes, Master is wise."

Xiao Yu frowned slightly: "Quickly, bring him over to see me!"

The concierge of the Xiao Mansion.

Bai Yuxin waited for a while, and seven or eight people from other shops came. The accountant just came over, swept the room, and asked in surprise, "Why are there so few people here?"

He shook his head, flipped through the roster and called out, "Chengdong Dyefang——"

Bai Yuxin walked over, and as soon as he opened his mouth, the accountant clicked his tongue impatiently: "I know you're from Jinnan Building, so what's the hurry, wait!"

The accountant sang several names in a row, but no one responded, so he became annoyed: "Forget it, forget it, the people who come here come to settle the money!"

The second time Bai Yuxin came forward, who would have thought that the accountant saw him dressed plainly, felt contemptuous of him, put him aside, and settled money with other merchants first.

It's fine to treat him slowly again and again, but if you directly bully him in the face, even a clay figurine will have a temper. Bai Yuxin squinted his eyes, sat down, and didn't say a word.

It was at this time that the butler hurried in, "Bai Yuxin, is Mr. Bai here?"

The accountant said without raising his head, "Not here. For a busy person like him, can he settle the money himself?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he was hit on the back of the head. The accountant raised his head in astonishment, and he heard the housekeeper scolding: "Mr. Bai is sitting here well, what are you talking about?"

The accountant froze all of a sudden, his narrowed eyes widened.

"You...you are Mr. Bai?"

Bai Yuxin stood up slowly, and glanced at him expressionlessly.

The accountant hurriedly picked up the roster: "The dyeing workshop, cloth shop, silversmith shop, felt shop, sack shop, sugar store, medicine shop, pawn shop, utensil shop..."

"That's right, it's all mine." Bai Yuxin's tone was flat, as if he was just discussing today's breakfast.
