The prince of buns

What the hell, you can just take my brother's money, have you ever thought about how you feel?

Qi Mu'an threw the teacup in his hand on the table heavily. The shopkeeper Wu was frightened when he heard him bluntly mentioning false accounts and ignorant money. Nonsense, Dang even collapsed on the ground and peed his pants in fright.

One must know that this little ancestor in front of him is notoriously vicious, didn't he beat the fourth son of the Guo family so that he could not get out of bed at home?

When Qi Mu'an saw that this person was so courageous, he looked down on him even more. At first, he thought that he should at least make a few sophistry, but he was ready to confront him with a full stomach, but in the end, he didn't use a single word. What a scam!

But it's not a coincidence that he chose to come down to check the accounts during this New Year's Eve, and it naturally has his deep meaning.

Even if the old debts from several years ago are found out, it will be very difficult to chase them one by one and finally get them back to Madam Ruan.

But at least he can minimize this year's losses.

Because the so-called New Year's Eve is sad, it means that the accounts for this year must be settled before the New Year, and the money that these shopkeepers have ignorantly paid for Mrs. Ruan on weekdays, including the filial piety I have given to Mrs. Ruan in private at the end of the year, will be in In the past few days, it was taken out and delivered to her through various unknown channels.

And he was so sudden in the middle, without giving them any time to react, haha, why don't they all pour into his bowl?

This is also thanks to the bad reputation of the original owner. If he is gentle and reasonable, I'm afraid I won't have to spend a few nights with the three-legged cat accounting knowledge that I have studied in college for a year or two. Wu's death will not admit what they did behind the scenes.

It's good now, as long as the face turns black and the temper shakes, the other party will be so frightened that they will do anything.

Dare not to recruit?Okay, then brother will bring your son in, pour him a bowl of Yansi water, let him wash his feet for the rest of his life, and let your old Wu family have no sons or grandchildren, what a big deal, haha... …

Of course, there is no need to say these words. There is something that shopkeeper Wu doesn’t understand. The first thing he did after being released by Qi Mu’an was that he didn’t even dare to go back to his own home, so he directly called the other shopkeepers to a place to open the shop. An emergency meeting is coming.

Those people were also well aware of Qi Mu'an's "reputation", and when they heard that he became suspicious, they panicked, some timid ones immediately expressed that they would run away with their wives and sons, and some were bold enough to propose going to the mansion to beg for their wives show the next.

In the final analysis, all the money is honoring his wife, so who is willing to use his savings to compensate Qi Mu'an?Even if they would, that wouldn't be enough.

Shopkeeper Wu acted like a terrified bear just now in front of Qi Muan, but he became the leader again in this group of people, and after listening to everyone's words, he gradually became more courageous, so he decided to take a gamble Let's first sneak around and ask Mother Liu in Mrs. Ruan's room.

Who would have thought that he was waiting at the back door of Wei Guogong's mansion, the concierge boy went in to call for someone, but it was a young maidservant with a pretty face, not Liu Mama herself.

He was thinking in his heart whether his wife had left the errand to someone else, but the maid pulled him aside with a smile and whispered in his ear: "The shopkeeper Wu is so impatient, why did you come to the door in person? Our uncle said Yes, your young master is very good, he likes it very much in his heart, and will send a sedan chair to pick him up in three days, don’t worry, old man, you’d better go home and wait!”

It turned out that the people who came here were not from Mrs. Ruan's side at all, but Fenxiang who was beside Qi Mu'an.

Shopkeeper Wu widened his eyes and stared at her as if he had seen a ghost as soon as he heard what she said. When he came back to his senses, he didn't dare to stay for a long time. He stumbled and ran home, almost being hit by several carriages along the way. .

When he got home, he didn't talk nonsense with his woman, and moved the bedside cabinet by himself, and took out two camphor wood boxes from the hidden compartment under the wall.

That was all the furniture he had accumulated as a shopkeeper for ten years!

His woman panicked when she saw his look of dismay, and saw that he had taken out all his property, so she rushed up to stop him.

"Master, if you have something to say, what is going on here! Brother Quan is going to take an exam in the spring, and there are many places where money needs to be managed. Next year, he wants to find a satisfactory wife for him. You will take us now." It’s better to strangle me with a rope if I take out my lifeblood!”

Shopkeeper Wu pushed her away dejectedly, "You think I'm happy?! Isn't it just for Brother Quan!"

Then he briefly told his woman what happened at Qi Mu'an's place and at the back door of Qi's house today. After all, his woman was illiterate and had never seen the world, so she cried: "Who is Uncle Qi, if he really likes Quan Brother, can this little money dispel his thoughts?"

Shopkeeper Wu stomped his feet angrily, "Stupid thing, you just can't bear to part with this extraneous thing! The uncle is not interested in our son, what he wants is the silver that belongs to him! Now if we know how to find more money for him Only by going back can our son's future be preserved, do you understand!"

After finishing speaking, regardless of the crying wife, he found two pieces of cloth to wrap the suitcase on his back, and rushed back to the shop before it was closed, and took out a large sum of money for Mrs. Ruan this year. Jinyi also packed it together and sent it to Qi Mu'an on the same day.

Qi Mu'an seemed to guess that there would be a harvest today, and he sat in the outer study with confidence and waited.

Shopkeeper Wu respectfully handed over the money, endured vomiting blood and looked at all his belongings for the last time, then knelt on the ground and begged bitterly, "Master, I know that I have been deceived by lard these past few years, so I did it." I'm sorry for the master's bastard, the little one is willing to sacrifice his wealth and life to compensate the master, begging the uncle to spare the dog, from now on the little one's life is the uncle's, the uncle told me to die on the third watch, I will never dare to go to the fifth watch .”

Qi Mu pretended to open a few boxes one by one, and probably turned them over, darling, Mrs. Ruan has a really big appetite.

Seeing that shopkeeper Wu is still sensible, and he has no place to find a suitable person for a while, he nodded and said: "Since you know that you are wrong, I will leave this mess to you in the future, but from now on you will take care of yourself." Rest assured, Lord, think carefully about who is your master!"

"Yes, yes, I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore!"

Shopkeeper Wu exited Qi Muan's study trembling with cold sweat, but bumped into Shopkeeper Huang who said he was going to flee home in the afternoon, with the same disheveled look, followed by two servants carrying large and small boxes.

Shopkeeper Huang smiled wryly when he saw him, "After packing up all the things, I found out that my son didn't come home after school, so I ran to ask my husband, who said that the uncle said that the child is fine, so he took him to the house to play for two days. "

Shopkeeper Wu patted him on the shoulder knowingly.

After walking a few steps, I met another one, who said that the uncle suddenly appreciated his son-in-law, and wanted to reward his son-in-law as his concubine, one of the most proud elder sisters around him.

So...

In the final analysis, Qi Mu'an didn't use any particularly clever tricks, but how Madam Ruan used the policy of softness to poach people from him, and now he uses bandit tricks to get them all back.

But among these people, except for Aizi Ruming, who is not too cunning and who he thinks can subdue Shopkeeper Wu, he doesn't plan to keep any of them.

Therefore, when Mrs. Ruan received the news that the shopkeepers of several shops had resigned and returned home at the same time, her face immediately turned black, and she hurriedly ordered people to invite shopkeeper Wu, but no one came.

Until Mama Liu went out to find the shop in person, shopkeeper Wu had no choice but to secretly invite her inside to hide from others, and said things that the uncle already knew about.

Shopkeeper Wu has always been obedient to Mrs. Ruan's orders because of fear of internal affairs, and he has indeed gained some benefits after so many years, but now for the sake of his son, what does his wife's words matter?In addition, his wife had to think about her son even more, and instead left Mrs. Ruan, the old master, behind.

Qi Mu'an naturally used a good move.

This made Mrs. Ruan suffer.

Because she thinks she will have such a large income at the end of the year, she usually spends money lavishly. Now that the end of the year is approaching, jewelry stores, cloth tailors, and rouge and gouache shops have come to pay their bills. She didn't dare to use her public money to let others know, so she had to secretly sell a few things of her own body, and then scraped together some money to fill the shortfall this year.

He hated Qi Mu'an more and more in his heart, but he didn't suspect that he suddenly became smarter, and he just thought it was the Xue family who made a hindrance. After all, what Qi Mu'an is currently investigating is the property that his mother brought over as a dowry, isn't it?

Maybe Xue's family noticed something, so they urged Qi Mu'an to make trouble against him.

She was unhappy in her heart, and the daughters who served her all day would naturally be aware of it.

It's just that Songya is her biological daughter, and she was used to holding it like a jewel since she was a child. Although her thoughts are delicate, she is open-minded, so she didn't think deeply.

On the other hand, Songxian lived by fawning on Mrs. Ruan since she was a child. Although Mrs. Ruan never showed any dislike for Qi Mu'an, this girl was born with a pair of discerning eyes, so she made the right bet.

Of course, this is also traceable.

For example, when she was young, she had a fight with Qi Muan and injured the corner of his eye, Madam Ruan reprimanded her in front of everyone, but she rewarded her with a lot of delicious food and gadgets when she got older. He had just raised an argument with Qi Mu'an, and Ming'er Mrs. Ruan's young jewelry was just found out again and sent to the second girl to play with.

Therefore, she could see the unspoken turmoil between Mrs. Ruan and Qi Mu'an.
