The Prodigal Son of the Mystical Sect

"Mrs. Chu, I...I have made it clear that the invitations for this Autumn Night Banquet have been sent out...even if you kill me, there is no way you can send out one more...Here, here Your Majesty."

Seeing Fan's sudden expression, Liang Qiu's heart trembled, but remembering someone's promise, she still managed to speak.

Fan gave him a cold look.

"According to Zhou rules, my dignified Chu family does not have a quota for the Autumn Night Banquet? Mr. Liang, do you think I am easy to deceive because I am a woman?"

"...This...as one of the Great Zhou Shenhou families, the Chu family naturally has a quota..."

"What about my Xiao'er's quota?!"

"...Well...Master Chu Huang will come to Tianjue City on behalf of the Chu family, and he should...come to visit Mrs. Chu soon..." Liang Qiu suppressed his panic, and his words gradually calmed down, with a hint of sarcasm. The place for the Chu family’s autumn night banquet has already been given, Mrs. Chu.”

At this time, Chu Tianxiao, who had been silent all the time, suddenly continued: "The Chu family in Kyoto and the Chu family in Tianjue have long been separated. Even if the friendship between the same clans is still there, Ding is Ding Mao and Mao. This act of pretentiousness would be too clumsy. Come on."

"Hmph!" Liang Qiu may still be a little afraid of Fan, who is the first-grade wife, but who is Chu Tianxiao? He is just a prodigal son. Now that he has lost his face, he no longer pretends to be polite. He snorts subconsciously and says in a strange tone, "Master Chu, don't talk nonsense. This is an order from the superior. What does it have to do with me? Besides, this is Isn’t it good for Mr. Chu?”

"I dare to ask Mr. Chu, how can you do the martial arts competition at the autumn night banquet? You are a prodigal who has been embarrassed in vain, it is better not to go!"

Chu Tianxiao said calmly: "No need to worry, I just ask you, according to the rules of the week, should my Tianjue Chu family have a share in the autumn night banquet? This has been the case in previous years, but this year has changed... for a reason."

Liang Qiu hummed: "The Great Zhou Dynasty established the country with force. As a member of the Shenhou family, you have reached seventeen but have slacked off in your cultivation. You are not qualified to participate in the Autumn Night Banquet. This quota should be filled by other members of the family."

After saying this, before Chu Tianxiao could answer, a burst of laughter suddenly came from outside the door.

"Hahaha! I testify! What Liang Qiu said is indeed true!"

But he saw the proud expression on the face of Manager Qiu Da. As soon as he walked in, he pointed at Chu Tianxiao, held up a piece of Huiying Jade in his hand, and said loudly.

"This boy is greedy for fun and neglects cultivation. He is a prodigal and knows nothing about anything! There is Huiying Jade to prove it! He is definitely not qualified to participate in the Autumn Night Banquet!"

Everyone was caught off guard by the sudden change. Only Chu Tianxiao's expression remained unchanged and he sneered in his heart: The traitor finally jumped into rebellion!

At the moment when he was wrestling with his true destiny, Chu Tianxiao would never allow someone to be behind his back, so he made a big fanfare and acted in a high-profile manner as soon as he returned home, just to force those unreliable people to rebel. For him, it is not a problem for the power of the Ziyi Hou Mansion to be greatly reduced, nor is it a problem to split up on the spot. Only after he takes action, there are "anti-thieves" lurking and leaks the "secret refining" he is about to carry out. It's a big problem!

Because time was too tight, Chu Tianxiao could not use gentle methods to play slowly. He could only choose to flick the tail. Moreover, he did not have the habit of making a fortune with his pig teammates.

Buying land to refine jewelry and using lottery draws in advance are all preparations for extreme situations like this.

The chess game has already begun...

"It's just that this old rebel rebelled so quickly, which is beyond my expectation..."

Chu Tianxiao couldn't help but think of something, and his heart trembled...

Could it be Dad's side... Yes, it could only be that incident that makes Dad trapped in the quagmire and unable to escape...

Thoughts were running through his mind, but Chu Tianxiao's face remained calm. At this time, he saw Liang Qiu taking the Huiying Jade, but he just touched it, without even looking at it in detail, and said arbitrarily: "Well... with the Huiying Jade as proof, no matter what the truth is, Tianjue Chu Family All the young masters are suspected of slacking off and are not eligible to participate in the Autumn Night Banquet until a thorough investigation is carried out.”

After saying these words, several servants in the Ziyihou Mansion were so angry that they were trembling with anger - thorough investigation? This is simply an excuse for procrastination! By the time they found out, the Autumn Night Banquet had already passed. They were clearly determined not to let Chu Tianxiao appear at the Autumn Night Banquet!

The method... is too despicable!

At this moment, Mrs. Fan looked at Qiu, the steward, and said lightly: "Not bad, Qiu Ming, it is in vain that I kept you here and promoted you to be the steward. Is this how you repay me?"

A trace of shame flashed across Steward Qiu's face, but it was quickly replaced by a ferocious look: "Hmph! Good birds choose trees to roost in. Your Chu family does not distinguish between rewards and punishments, and employs nepotism. Don't you allow me to find another way out? The Qin family If you pay me three times the monthly salary, I won't have to be angry with this prodigal son and let him boss me around! It's only the Qin family's kindness to me that I have to repay you! I have already made arrangements with many old weapon-making friends to run away together. Let’s play with this prodigal son slowly! We won’t do it anymore!”

As soon as these words came out, a few people discovered that there were dozens of people behind Steward Qiu. They lowered their heads and said nothing but looked ashamed, but they were all dressed as weapon refiners. These people might have something in Steward Qiu's hands. Or maybe one of his relatives and subordinates... was promoted to the chief steward of the Ziyi Hou Mansion. He had enough time to accumulate connections, but now he betrayed him and poached 30% of the current weapon refiners of the Tianjue Chu family!

When this scene appeared in front of everyone, some people who were familiar with Steward Qiu were in complete disbelief - he was promoted to Steward under an exceptional rule and had the heavy responsibility of staying at the Ziyi Hou Mansion. Is this how he repaid his kindness?

Not only did he cooperate with outsiders to frame his young master, but he also instigated 30% of the weapon refiners that the Ziyi Hou Mansion needed most to rebel?

How can people be so shameless! ?

A group of people subconsciously stayed away from Manager Qiu Da, with expressions of extreme contempt.

Chu Tianxiao looked "appropriately" slightly cold and said: "Qiu Da is a good manager... Conscience is probably not worth much to you, right?"

"I have worked hard and achieved great results, but I have to bear the wrath of you, a prodigal! You, the Chu family, were unkind at first, so don't blame me for being unjust at the end!" Seeing everyone's contempt, Steward Qiu looked embarrassed and annoyed, but he still snorted forcefully.

"Hard work pays off? Haha..." Chu Tianxiao sneered, "Come on Liu Ling, don't save face for this guy!"

As soon as these words came out, Steward Qiu felt inexplicably uneasy. When he saw a look from Chu Tianxiao, Mu Liuling, who had always been standing by, nodded and stepped forward.

In her hand, there was a stack of ledgers!

"This is..." Steward Qiu's brows narrowed and sweat appeared on his forehead.

"These are some accounts from last month." Mu Liuling smiled slightly, "Liu Ling had nothing to do in his spare time, but he found a little surprise..."

"At the beginning of July, the Ziyi Hou Mansion purchased fifteen pieces of colored glazes from Xiling City, two pieces of Western Region screen decorations, and three pieces of antiques... with a total price of 755,000 spiritual coins."

"You are responsible for this account, Manager Qiu. Liu Ling wants to ask, why is it that when I do the calculation, this figure... is reduced by more than half?"

"Xiling City Liulicai is a fake. One of the antiques is damaged and worn out, so it can only be converted into 10% of the transaction price, and all kinds of things... But why is it that for such a pile of things, the expenditure of more than 750,000 spiritual coins is calculated? Or..." Mu Liuling smiled lightly, "All that money was swallowed up by you, Manager Qiu?"

"Liu Ling has many accounts like this," Mu Liuling said, casually opening one, "Ah, this one is even more bizarre, young master?"

Chu Tianxiao nodded and said calmly: "Read it, let everyone in the Ziyihou Mansion listen to how Qiu Daguan is so 'hard-working and meritorious', and how did we force him to 'resign to another Ming Lord'? Oh! , yes, too poor..."

As soon as these words came out, many people in the room couldn't help laughing softly - yes, Manager Qiu Da kept saying that the Chu family had wronged him and that Chu Tianxiao was sorry for what he did yesterday, so now it doesn't matter What?

People only blocked your way of making money once, but you have already gained so much from the Ziyi Hou Mansion. So, isn't it clear what exactly is the bargaining chip for betrayal?

When you become a daughter or a cousin, stop erecting memorial arches. If you are a traitor with no sense and vision, stop pretending to be a loyal and good person who has no choice but to rebel!

For a moment, even some people from the Wasteland Guild looked at Steward Qiu with a hint of contempt...

"That's enough!" Manager Qiu finally couldn't listen anymore. He originally wanted to take the opportunity to attack the reputation of the Ziyi Hou Mansion again and draw away more people, but he didn't expect that Chu Tianxiao turned over an account book in his hand and gave him those The small plot of Xiaosi was revealed. Even the weapon refiners behind him were a little shaken at the moment. They did not leave his side due to various pressures. However, their eyes flickered and they lowered their heads in silence. Obviously, the Qin family did not want to rest assured in the short term. Used.

Steward Qiu's forehead was covered with cold sweat. He held on and gritted his teeth and groaned, "This... this is just your one-sided statement! Let's... wait and see!"

"Yeah, we'll see. According to Zhou's law, being greedy for ink is a serious crime, and if it's more than a million dollars..." Chu Tianxiao said leisurely, "Liuling, what kind of punishments are there?"

"Back to Young Master, the lightest one is to have your cultivation level revoked and be punished with death. If it's more serious..."

"Shut up!" Manager Qiu shouted suddenly, and the two of them looked at him with mocking expressions.

"Brother Qiu, don't worry... You have provided us with important evidence, and we will not sit idly by..." Liang Qiu hurriedly comforted him, but before Manager Qiu's heart could drop, Fan's long voice rang out.

"Before you say something like this, think about whether you can't protect yourself..."

Liang Qiu's expression changed, she paused, and then said with a smile: "Haha... What do you mean by Mrs. Chu's words?"

Mrs. Fan stared at him, her eyes neither happy nor sad, and said: "Maybe... you can force my Xiao'er to spit out the wasteland, you can force him not to attend the Autumn Night Banquet... I, a woman, can't make any decisions about those big things. ……but!"

At this point, Mrs. Fan's aura changed again, and her eyes were as cold as knives: "If my Xiao'er becomes unhappy because this thing doesn't go well, and she frowns and sighs, then... I can definitely control the fate of you two. Call the shots!”

As soon as these words came out, Steward Qiu and Liang Qiu's hearts trembled. They subconsciously wanted to retort, but when the words came to their lips, they were intimidated by the momentum of the other side, and they couldn't say a word to refute!

"Let's... let's go!" Steward Qiu tried his best, and just turned around with Liang Qiu and left the Ziyi Hou Mansion. Those who followed and dozens of weapon refiners also bowed to Fan, and they all After leaving, the expressions on everyone's faces were extremely complicated...
