Chapter 92 Household Affairs

When the blind man died, he was very close to Fang Xing, and the distance between the two was only three or five steps.

So he could clearly see the blind man's face turn from red to white quickly, and then he lost his breath and fell to the ground.

It was as if he was killed by someone just when he was about to say something.

It's not like what happens to someone who leaks secrets.

Fang Xing had killed many Feng Shui warlocks, and when he saw them, he would have an instinctive feeling. At least Fang Xing could tell that this blind man definitely did not die from the so-called scourge of heaven.

What is it that blinds the man to death can only be the so-called hidden power of this world.

Fang Xing took a deep breath.

"interesting."

"It's possible to kill people invisible at such a short distance, but I don't know how to do it."

Fang Xing just sat on the chair, closed his eyes, and began to exercise his internal strength wholeheartedly.

It's just that even though he strengthened his five senses through internal force, Fang Xing didn't notice anything wrong with this room.

"It seems that we still need to check again to find out what it is."

Fang Xing tapped the chair twice with his hand, and then made a decision.

Walking out the door, he said directly to the old housekeeper:
"Keep quiet, find the two who can keep your mouth shut the most, go into the house, put people in sacks and find a remote place to bury them."

"Don't rush to do it now, wait until the night is quiet."

The old housekeeper's expression was a little surprised, as if he didn't understand why the blind man died as soon as he said he was dead.

But as the old housekeeper of the palace, facing such an order from the prince, he naturally had to handle it well.

The one who died was just a blind man who came to cheat for food and drink, not to mention that he died so quietly in the palace, even if the people of the palace beat him to death directly on the street, no one cared about him!
It seemed that Fang Xing was about to turn around and leave, but the old housekeeper hurriedly took two steps, and whispered to Fang Xing:
"My lord."

"That what..."

"We should pay wages today..."

"But you know it in this mansion. It's true that the whole mansion can't afford ten taels of silver, or else we..."

What the old butler actually meant was to express, or else he would quickly sell all the shops he bought over the years.

After all, the more you do those deals, the more you lose money!
Good guy, the oldest stores have lost money for nine years, and the money lost in these nine years alone is enough to buy seven or eight more stores!

Hearing what the old housekeeper said, Fang Xing nodded indifferently.

Isn't it just money?
"Is 1 taels of gold enough?"

The old housekeeper spread his hands:

"My lord, it's already this time, let's stop making fun of it"

"It's not like you don't know what's going on in our house. It's been several months, and it's only on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar new year that I can add meat to your dishes."

"All the things that can be sold at home are sold, and the rest are things that cannot be passed on."

"Don't you have some friendship with shopkeeper Li, the richest man in our imperial city?"

"Although it's said that the fight with shopkeeper Li is fierce on the surface, and the personal relationship is not bad. Let's pick a few shops and sell them directly to her. It's good to take it easy."

The old butler was very sincere.

After all, I have been working as a housekeeper in the palace since I was young, and I have been doing it for so many years, and I have never seen the palace so poor.

Selling a few more stores can save a lot of expenses.

Fang Xing didn't explain much, but let the old housekeeper follow him to the bedroom of the palace.Let the old butler wait outside the door for the time being.

There are several large boxes in the prince's bedroom, which contain the account books that the prince has accumulated over the years from his business.

And IOUs.

There are also pawn tickets for selling things.

And the mortgage receipt.

The prince packed these things by himself, and the others didn't know what was in the box.

Fang Xing randomly threw the contents of one of the boxes into the other boxes first, then opened his soul space and threw gold bricks into the box.

1 taels of gold sounds like a lot.

If calculated according to the standard that one catty is 16 taels, that is about six to seven hundred catties.

Although I don't know how many grams is the standard for a catty in this era, but filling the entire box is definitely more than ten thousand taels of gold.

The density of gold itself is high, and one cubic meter weighs nineteen tons. It can be said that Fang Xing only took a very small part of his own gold, and he has already filled the entire box to the brim.

After putting all the gold away, Fang Xing opened the door and asked the housekeeper to come in.

Pointing to the box filled with gold, he said to the steward:
"Take it and spend it."

"Not enough for me and this."

The old butler stepped forward, touched the gold in the box, and wanted to pick up a piece, but he didn't.

After looking at the gold in the box, the old housekeeper turned to look at Fang Xing again.

"My lord."

"Self-appropriation of treasury gold is an illegal act!"

"Although we are poor, don't make trouble!"

In the impression of the old housekeeper, only the national treasury would dare to pour such a large piece of gold directly.

Wealthy families or powerful families will also reserve some gold, but they are all poured into gold ingots or gold nuggets of ordinary size.

Only the national treasury will do this for such a large gold brick.After all, such a big thing cannot be stolen at all, and it is easier to check when counting.

Seeing the terrified expression on the old housekeeper's face, Fang Xing didn't bother to explain.

"Don't worry, the money is obtained in a fair manner."

"However, what you just said is true. Such a large gold brick is indeed not something ordinary people use."

"If you want to pay the bill today, you will use silver. It is not convenient to take these gold bricks out."

"I'll go to shopkeeper Li later, and get some money first."

After Fang Xing said, he looked up at the weather outside.

When I came back just now, it was considered to be a clear sky, but some dark clouds had gradually drifted in the distance.

I don't know if Li Momei is back now?

The old housekeeper saw that Fang Xing was so calm. It seems that these large pieces of gold should not have been taken from the treasury.

But the prince has been poor for such a long time, how come he has so much gold?

Thinking of the fact that Wang Ye just said to go to shopkeeper Li to get some silver for use, and thinking that in the past few years, Wang Ye has been running to shopkeeper Li when he has nothing to do.

The old butler suddenly felt a sense of enlightenment.

I am too old, my brain is stupid!
The young prince was still young when he inherited the throne, and he was not very popular all the time, so no one arranged for the marriage.

But no one arranges a marriage, it doesn't mean that the little prince doesn't have someone he likes!
Is this the lord's persistence and sneaky pursuit of Shopkeeper Li?
Could it be that this box of gold is the betrothal gift given to the prince by shopkeeper Li?
wrong.

It's the dowry that shopkeeper Li gave to the prince! ?

As expected of the number one rich woman in the imperial city, she is really rich!
