Xue Pan took a few confessions and read them carefully one by one.

Baochai asked, "Brother, what are you going to do with them?"

"If it were you, what are you going to do?" Xue Pan asked back.

Baochai thought for a while, and at the same time felt that the shopkeeper was hateful, and at the same time felt pitiful for the shopkeeper who was crying bitterly just now.He was unwilling to let him go, and he couldn't bear to punish him, so he was in a dilemma.

"Get out of the circle of Xue's family and look outside." Xue Pan reminded.

look out?Baochai was puzzled.

"Criminal law!" Xue Pan said.

"Yes, the criminal law!" Baochai thought of the criminal law he had read in the past few days, and understood, "What the shopkeeper did not only corrupted the Xue family's money, but also violated the criminal law. We can send him to the government!" Baochai said.

"Children can be taught!" Xue Pan said, "There is a special government office responsible for these things, just send them to the government directly, don't set up lynching, it's not worth dirtying your hands for them."

Xue Pan mentioned Baochai and said: "Walking in this world is just three words, power, reason, and way. When your power is greater than him, you can use power to overwhelm others. But doing so is easy to be criticized. When you are reasonable, you can convince others with reason. The best thing to do in the world is to be both powerful and reasonable. Tao is the way of doing things. There are right ways, evil ways, and small ways. There are laws to follow, and you can use them. Do things at a high speed, there will be no disadvantages, and you can't leave any excuses. When you can be upright, try not to use some ghostly tricks, but you must guard against others using evil ways to harm others."

Baochai seemed to understand a little.

Xue Pan asked Xu Qian to take a few servants and send a few shopkeepers to Wucheng Bingmasi. Don't be afraid of shame, and don't need to cover up.

His purpose is to let people see that the Xue family's business has failed, and the timber business has been emptied by the shopkeeper's pockets, leaving only an empty shelf.

The Xue family, whose pearls are like earth and gold is like iron, no longer exists. (Note 1)

The timing is just right.Now behind the Xue family there are the Wang family and the Jia family. The uncle of the Wang family has been promoted this year. Although the Jia family has no real power, it is a family of two kingdoms and has not completely fallen. It is also very bluffing from the outside.

Therefore, even if the Xue family's business was in decline, not many people would dare to offend the Jia and Wang families and take a share of the pie.Those who disdain the Wang family and the Jia family also look down on the Xue family's business.

In this way, the Xue family can retreat safely.

Moreover, the Jia family's own property can still support their own expenses.There is not much demand for outside property. Now that the Xue family has retired, the Jia family will only sympathize with it, and will not get to the bottom of it. They will not let go, and even bite.

After a few years, when the Jia family needs money to build a family-friendly villa, the Xue family has been in decline for a few years, and it is just a small rich family, so they only need to pay a little money.

Xue's lumber business has completely collapsed since today.

Xue Pan is still a little sad, after all, it is the foundation of his ancestors, and he has worked hard for it in his previous life.

But time has changed, and in the final analysis, Xue Jiaming's ostensible property can no longer be kept.

The Jia family calculated the Xue family's money, even though the Xue family escaped the calculation.In the future, when the Wang family and Jia family fall, there will still be countless people rushing forward.

If he fails the Jinshi exam, he will not be able to protect the Xue family's property.If you are admitted to Jinshi, you need to clear your name. On the surface, Qingliu is not the same as honored, and it is not appropriate to have so many properties under your name.

Xue Pan was sad for a while and then passed.

Xue Pan asked others to go out to guard, and only called the third treasurer, Zhang Fa.

Only Xue Pan, Baochai and Zhang Fa stayed in the house.

Both the big shopkeeper and the second shopkeeper were sent to the government, and the third shopkeeper was himself.Zhang Fa was a little apprehensive when he was called in. Although he thought that he had never done anything wrong to his boss, he saw what the chief shopkeeper and the second shopkeeper did.If the boss wants to punish him for not reporting what he knows, it is also reasonable.

Who knew that Xue Pan didn't mention this at all.

Xue Pan asked: "If I let you leave Xue's lumber company and leave with my men, I will give you money and rights to support, and you open another lumber company of the same scale or even a larger scale, what can you do?" Are you there?"

Zhang Fa was excited, it didn't seem like he was going to ask for a crime, but it seemed like he was going to make a big use of it.He immediately raised his head and chest, and replied, "Yes!"

Xue Pan gave Zhang Fa a deed, stating that in the new timber business, apart from the monthly salary of the big shopkeeper, he would also give Zhang Fa half of the dry shares.

Zhang Fa knew the profits of the timber company, and he looked at the contract, wishing to slap Xue Pan to the bone.

Xue Pan said: "You don't need to do anything more, the only thing is to stock up. Find a few different places in the suburbs of Beijing, store a large amount of goods separately, stock up on high-quality wood, and you can't use the name of Xue's family."

Zhang Fa was a little puzzled, seeing that Xue Pan didn't mean to explain, so he stopped asking why.The two made a detailed plan for specific matters such as the person Zhang Fa wanted to take away, the location where the goods were stored, the amount of wood, what kind of wood it was, how much it cost, and so on.

After discussing the rules of these businesses, Xue Pan asked: "Except for the people you want to take away, who do you think can support Xue's Timber Company? You don't need to be bigger or stronger, just hold on. Just don鈥檛 close down.鈥?br>
Zhang Fa asked puzzledly: "Boss, you don't plan to buy wood from Xue's family in the future, okay?"

Xue Pan replied: "Yes, but there is no need for a large-scale timber business. Just an ordinary-scale timber business with poor operations, as long as it doesn't close down."

Zhang Fa didn't know why Xue Pan did this, but after thinking about it seriously, he made a suggestion: "Liu You, he can do it. He has been in the industry for more than 20 years, and he is familiar with the inside knowledge. He is also relatively Prudent, he is a conservative person, in his hands, it is impossible to achieve success, but there is no problem in maintaining it.鈥?br>
Xue Pan nodded and said, "I guess I will return to Jinling soon, and I will leave Xu Qian in the capital. If you have something to do in the capital, you can go directly to Xue's mansion to find him, or you can write to me."

The two discussed and agreed.

Zhang Fa first went out dejectedly, and after waiting for a while, Xue Pan followed.

After so many days, Xu Sheng had a thorough understanding of the interpersonal relationship in Xue's lumber business.The big shopkeeper and his immediate family watched them being escorted to the government office, and they were a little panicked, not knowing what was waiting for them.

Xue Pan didn't want to argue too much with these people, so he paid a month's salary to all the managers directly under the big shopkeeper, the second shopkeeper, and Yang Pu, and dismissed them.Zhang Fa and the people he selected were also mixed in and were sent back together.

These people originally thought that they would also be sent to officials or have other punishments. Seeing that they were just resigned and their monthly salary was paid extra, they were very fortunate. They didn't hold any resentment towards the Xue family, but instead praised them a lot.

Those who actually worked in the lumber shop stayed, and each of those who stayed got a monthly salary increase.

Then Liu You was promoted as the big shopkeeper of Xue's Timber Company, and the new management was arranged by Liu You.Xue's lumber business was just an empty shelf in the future, confusing the public, but Xue Pan didn't pay much attention to it.

In the past two days, Xue Pan went to the pawn shop and the grocery store again, and directly transferred the two shops including the storefront and the goods.If anyone wants to follow the new owner, stay.If you don't want to follow the new owner, you can receive three months of monthly salary and go out to find your own way out.

Someone asked why the transfer was made, and Xue Pan wept bitterly, saying that his main timber business was failing and he needed to raise money to transfer the two shops.

Xue Pan did not move the medicine store, but told the owner of the medicine store that if there are any rare and uncommon medicines, they should be kept.

As for the bookstore, Xue Pan thought about it, now is not the time, his businesses are no longer viable, it would be a bit abrupt to open a bookstore all of a sudden, let's wait until he is admitted to Juren.

Later, Xu Sheng came to report, saying that the shopkeeper had been sentenced to five years in prison, and his family property had been confiscated.Liu Chang and Yang Pu were sentenced to three years in prison, and their family property was confiscated.The corrupt property of the Xue family recorded in the account book will be returned to the Xue family, and the rest of the property will be confiscated.

Xue Pan asked, did he hear that the shopkeeper had colluded with bandits and bandits, but Xu Sheng said he had never heard of it.

He was intercepted and killed in his last life, and he still doesn't know if someone deliberately dealt with him or it was just an accident.However, in this life, it should not be found out.

Seeing that the matter had been resolved, Xue Pan put it aside and stopped asking.

The Xue family has fallen, so I don't know if this matter has reached the Jia family's ears.

Calculate the time and let Fu'er go to Yangzhou to deliver the letter. If it goes well, he should be back soon. I don't know what Master Lin is planning.

Xue Pan decided to take Mrs. Xue and Baochai to visit the Jia family again, and must send the news of the decline of the Xue family to the Jia family.

On the second day, Xue Pan asked Shou'er to post a message to Jia's family. On the third day, Xue Pan took Mrs. Xue and Baochai to visit Jia's family.

When he arrived at Jia's house, Xue Pan went to the front yard as usual.When Jia Lian heard that Xue Pan was coming, he hurried to receive him.

"Pan'er, long time no see, why are you free today?" Jia Lian asked.

"I'm not afraid of my brother-in-law's jokes. During this period of time, I've been really battered. Hey, this time I came to the capital to do business. I didn't expect that not only did the imperial merchant fail to apply, but it was found out that the big shopkeeper of my lumber shop was behind my back. The timber store was emptied. As a last resort, I sold two more stores to support the timber store. However, I think my family鈥檚 business will not be as good as before.鈥?Xue Pan said shamefully.

Jia Lian said, "What should I do? Pan'er, if you are short of money, my brother-in-law still has some savings. I wonder if I can help you."

Xue Pan was grateful. He knew that Jia Lian didn't care about the family, but he didn't have much private money, and his savings were only a few thousand taels at most. He probably saved it without telling Sister Feng: "The business is still going on now, but the scale has become smaller. If necessary, I will talk to my brother-in-law again."

Xue Pan changed the subject: "I don't know how Sister Feng is doing now? Is my nephew still safe now?"

Jia Lian smiled: "It's safe, it's safe. Now I'm living with my father, and my father has specially invited a doctor. He lives at home and asks for pulse twice a day. She often pulls me to let me teach her, so that I have no time to go out to socialize. She also got a book of criminal law and asked me to read it to her. You said she was pregnant with a child and listened to some poems, words, and storybooks. It鈥檚 fine if you don鈥檛 listen to the criminal law every day, but you still have to pull me to read it. I read these every day, thinking about what I have done, and I always feel chills on my neck.鈥?Jia Lian said that he could not help complaining at the end.

Jia Lian didn't know that the instigator was Xue Pan. Xue Pan just listened with a smile and didn't point out.

Jia Lian took Xue Pan to see Jia Zhen and Jia Rong, just as there was another banquet in the East Mansion.Xue Pan spread the news of the decline of the Xue family, and everyone knew about it in a short while. Some people were not as warm to Xue Pan as before, and Xue Pan didn't care.

Liu Xianglian happened to be there too.Hearing about Xue Pan, he hurried over to look for him. "Second brother, how is the Xue family doing now? If they can't support it, I will take back the real estate my mother gave me."

Xue Pan hurriedly said: "No need, big brother, if it is given to you, it is yours. Even if the Xue family falls, it is just from a wealthy family to an ordinary wealthy family. There are still tens of thousands of taels of silver. The money in the family has been lost for three generations. I can't spend it all, and I don't need yours. If there is no one, there will be a few masters in the family."

When Liu Xianglian heard this, she felt relieved: "So, I feel relieved."

Xue Pan asked again: "The Xue family's affairs in the capital have been dealt with, and it is estimated that they will return to Jinling in a short time. I don't know if the elder brother will go back to Jinling with us, or stay in the capital?"

Liu Xianglian thought for a while, not only wanted to go to Jinling to see the scenery and people, but also thought of studying in Xue's house every day, thinking about it gave her a headache, and she still didn't want to stay with Xue's family, so she refused: "I'm still staying in the capital, but I don't know what to do. I will go to Jinling to see you at that time. Tomorrow, I will visit my mother at home."

Mrs. Xue took Baochai to meet Jiamu.

After seeing the ceremony, Mrs. Xue couldn't help asking: "Old lady, why don't you see my sister?"

Jia Mu said: "Your sister sincerely worships the Buddha. To show her sincerity, she will not be seen by anyone in the Buddhist hall."

Mrs. Xue has heard Xue Pan talk about Mrs. Wang.On the one hand, she was startled by Mrs. Wang's viciousness, and on the other hand, she remembered the friendship between the two sisters before they got married, so she asked.Seeing that Jia's mother refused to let her see, Baoyu was no different. She was still favored in front of Jia's mother, so that's all.

Mrs. Wang is Baoyu's mother, and Mrs. Xue, seeing Baoyu's normal appearance, believes that Mrs. Wang has not suffered much. She is locked in the Buddhist hall to teach a lesson, and she has no right to interfere.

She didn't expect that Baoyu never visited Mrs. Wang since Jia Mu said that Mrs. Wang would devote herself to worshiping the Buddha and not need Baoyu to pay her respects.

They chatted for a while, but when they didn't see Sister Feng, Mrs. Xue couldn't help asking: "Why didn't you see Sister Feng come to pay respects to the old ancestor?"

Jia's mother concealed and said, "Girl Feng is here, her parents-in-law care about her tightly, and even the housekeeper has resigned, so she can just take care of her baby. I don't have any serious problems here, so I will spare her greetings."

Mrs. Xue nodded in agreement: "Indeed, children are a big deal! Of course they are important."

Mother Jia's place is really deserted today. Except for Mrs. Wang and Sister Feng, Mrs. Xing, Li Wan, Yingchun and Tanchun are not there, only Baoyu, Daiyu and Xichun are there.

Mrs. Xue is not good at asking.

Mother Jia took the initiative to explain: "Yingchun, her father took her away, and every day she came to greet her with Mrs. Xing and then went back. She said that she was going to class, and her father didn't know what to think. She is a good daughter. I can't control Yingchun and Lian'er learning knives and guns together. Your sister and Sister Feng are no longer in charge of the house, so let Zhu'er's wife and Tanchun take care of it now. They also come to greet you in the morning. I just left, I just took over the butler, so I can't help being in a hurry, I can't move around. I'm getting old, and now I only have two Yu'er and Xichun to accompany me."

Mrs. Xue quickly comforted her and said: "The old lady is full of children and grandchildren, and her children and grandchildren are around her knees. This is a blessing that others can't even ask for. The grandchildren here are promising, but they are enviable." Using words, she continued: "It's not like us family, orphans and widows, everyone can bully them.鈥?br>
Jia's mother couldn't help asking: "Who dares to bully you? You report to listen to it, and I will make the decision for you!"

"There is no one else, but the shopkeeper of the Xue family's business. Since my master left, my wife and Taoist family don't understand these things. Pan'er is still young, so she entrusted all the business to the shopkeeper. I came to Beijing this year to check the accounts, so I know Several shopkeepers teamed up and almost wiped out the business."

Jia Mu said angrily: "It's really unreasonable. The slaves are all acting on the head of the master. They should be arrested and beaten hard to let them know who is the master."

Mrs. Xue said: "That's right. Pan'er has already sent them to the government. Even the Xue family's business has declined a lot. I'm sorry for my master." As she spoke, her eyes turned red, and Mrs. Xue wiped them with a handkerchief. She wiped her eyes, and then said: "Look at me, come to see the old lady, she is always talking about these unhappy things, she really deserves to be beaten. Now that Pan'er is getting older, I will leave these business matters to him. I can't help you, just take care of yourself, and spend a day with the old lady today, that's serious."

Jia's mother said: "That's right. Leave the outside affairs to their men. My wife, if you need help, don't hesitate. Just ask. Some people still treat me like an old lady."

Mrs. Xue hurriedly said: "I know that the old lady loves me, if necessary, I will definitely speak up."

The author has something to say: Note 1: Quoted from "A Dream of Red Mansions".Original text: "Guardian Talisman": Jia is not fake, and white jade is the horse for the gold.Efang Palace, three hundred miles away, cannot accommodate a history of Jinling.There is a shortage of white jade beds in the East China Sea, so the Dragon King came to invite the King of Jinling.In a good year, there is heavy snow, and pearls are like earth and gold is like iron.
