Volume Four

4.40 You can’t really kill Pan’er, right?
In the early morning of the next day, Zhou Yang woke up much later. I don't know whether it was because of the hard work of the journey or because he was too active last night. Fortunately, the Xue family's servant was honest and didn't dare to disturb him unless he was called. When I slept until about three o'clock in the morning, the sound of the Zhao sisters' shouts and sword whistles as they practiced their swords could be heard in the yard, as well as Qingwen's colorful sounds from time to time.

"Brother Zhou, are you up?" Seeing him pushing the door open, Zhao Qiying took advantage of the situation and greeted him with a smile, "What did you and Mrs. Xue discuss last night? Why did you come back when I was about to get married? She sent someone over just now to ask, It was said that there were some clues about Mr. Xue, so I sent the visitor back when I saw you were still asleep."

"Is there any clue about Brother Wenlong?" Zhou Yang was stunned for a moment, avoiding the topic with Wang Shuying last night, he didn't expect to have news so soon, "I'll go over now to have a look, there is no one today Whatever it is, just take Yan Ling and Qing Yatou and have a good rest."

"Master, can we go out for a walk?" Qingwen asked happily.

"Well, if you are willing, just go out with Yan Ling. Don't forget to bring a few servants of the Xue family with you, so as not to run into anything unsightly." Zhou Yang said with a smile, "Mr. Qiying Stay, I don’t know if Brother Wenlong needs to go out because of his affairs, but if necessary, I will have to trouble you to follow him."

"That's fine." Zhao Qiying nodded with a smile.

"Brother-in-law, that Young Master Xue is not a worry-free person, so you should take care of it." Zhao Yanling snorted lightly and said, "I just went out to bring breakfast and came back, and I heard a lot of things along the way."

"Well, he is Sister Bao's biological eldest brother after all. He doesn't care if it's too ugly." Zhou Yang smiled and nodded, "You guys can play, I'll come as soon as I go."

Zhou Yang walked out the door with a smile, and went straight to the study in the inner courtyard without any delay. When he entered the door, he found Wang Shuying sitting on the long couch. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but he always felt that the young woman was obviously much younger today , with a rosy complexion and a gentle temperament, and the smile at the corner of his mouth seems to melt people.

"Is Ziyang here?" The young woman stood up with a chuckle, pointed to the small table in front of her and said, "I know you are here in a hurry, so I asked someone to prepare some food. You can rest your stomach first; I can also tell you what happened just now. Once, so you don’t have to worry.”

"Oh?" Judging from her performance, it seemed like it wasn't a big problem. Zhou Yang didn't bother to ask. He sat down and picked up a steamed bun and filled his stomach with rice porridge that was just right. "I don't know what you asked? "

"It's almost the same as our guess last night. I'm too lazy to ask any more questions." Wang Shuying sighed softly and sat on the chair next to her. However, as if she was electrocuted, she frowned and stood up again, "Hiss——"

"." Zhou Yang almost burst out laughing, but fortunately he held it back. He only looked up and down at the young woman with teasing eyes without saying a word.

"You're still laughing!" Wang Shuying immediately blushed with embarrassment. She walked over and punched her, "It wasn't because of you that I didn't even dare to lie down to sleep last night!"

"You should be more attentive at least!" Zhou Yang smiled, grabbed his delicate hand and gently rubbed it, and also noticed the thick cotton pads on the couch, "The Xue family's big house now has a minimum wealth of 500 million, so just This does not include the Jiangnan part of the Snow Brand under the control of the second uncle. If they had not decisively sought refuge with the Duke of Qi, do you think those jackals would have been spared in vain?

Thanks to the fact that we have been hiding the information, and the outside world thinks that the Xue family is now divided into two parts, the north and the south, which will definitely cause the family property to shrink significantly, otherwise it is difficult to say how many people will take action; Wenlong is the heir of the Xue family after all. , if someone plots against you, you won’t be able to find the temple gate even if you want to cry! "

In fact, there's more to it than that. In the original work, the mother and daughter Wang Shuying and Xue Baochai mentioned many times when talking to their own families that the profits of shops in various places were getting worse day by day, and many places even reported continuous losses. The status of the Xue family also dropped again and again. , in the end, even if something happens, he has to go to Rongguo Mansion for help.

Now, because he has already found Qi Guogong’s mansion as a backer, and Zhou Yang is also an official, and has the face of four princes, eight princes, and even Princess Yongchang. The current position of Xuezihao is very stable, and the turnover and profits are constantly rising. And he won more status with his backers.

Therefore, Wang Shuying is now far less nervous than in the original work. Not only is she not as vigilant as in the original work, but she is even more relaxed on the contrary. Just looking at her current temperament and style as a young woman in the inner courtyard, it is obvious that she has "horses released to the south". You can see his thoughts when compared with Xue Pan's attitude now that he is being left alone.

"Whatever you want." Wang Shuying carefully poured him another bowl of chicken soup and said in an impeccable manner, "I know Wenlong's ability, I just hope you can take care of it; I will trouble you with family matters, whether it is For my sake, or for the sake of my precious girl, after all, the housewife cannot care about the outside world, thank you for your hard work!"

"You!" Zhou Yang shook his head helplessly, "I originally"

"The uncle is here!" As he was talking, there was a noise outside the door, but it was Xue Pan who ran over with a loud voice, and Tongfu at the door quickly informed.

"Mom, mother, are you here?" Xue Pan obviously didn't plan to stay long, "Give me some money quickly, a bunch of brothers are waiting, and I want to talk to them - uh? My brother-in-law is here too?"

"I wonder who Mr. Xue is talking about business with, and what kind of business he is talking about?" Looking at his posture, Zhou Yang knew that the last lesson had been blown away by the wind, "Why don't you talk about it here? So that I can learn more?"

"It's just a few friends, brother-in-law, you don't want to play!" Xue Pan explained impatiently, and immediately turned to Wang Shuying and said, "Mom, why did you insist on letting me come back today? Hurry up and give me They are still waiting for my money—ah!”

Zhou Yang couldn't bear it any longer and stepped forward and kicked Xue Pan in the chest. He screamed and flew backwards, hitting the bookshelf firmly. The furniture that was originally a frame structure was completely smashed. He changed his shape with a "click"; he still didn't calm down, he rushed over and stepped on Xue Pan's face, and stomped Xue Pan, who was still struggling, with his left cheek on the ground. "I ask again, what kind of business is it? Why don't you tell me?" Zhou Yang said coldly, "Or can you say that Young Master Xue has learned how to handle business?"

"Ah - you fucking want to die, come on, come on, come on, why don't you drag him out and beat him to death to feed the dogs? If something happens, I - ah!" Xue Pan howled for help, but his bodyguard was not even available. No one among the servants dared to move, "You guys, you fucking want to die?"

"Boom——" Zhou Yang raised his foot and kicked Xue Pan's lower abdomen again, letting him "slide" against the floor for a distance of one foot, and finally knocked over the screen and stopped at another corner, "One last time, what did Master Xue do?" What kind of business is this, eh?"

"Ziyang, you can't really beat Pan'er to death, can you? But just in case." Wang Shuying couldn't bear it anymore, cried and knelt at Zhou Yang's feet, hugging his legs and begging, "I'll just kill you!" This son!"

"Shut up!" Zhou Yang really had no interest in serving him anymore, "Why don't you kill this kind of thing and keep it for the New Year? Young Master Xue, why don't you say anything anymore?"

"Mom, help me, help me, Pan'er hurts so much!" Xue Pan lost his temper and begged, vomiting blood, "Brother-in-law, brother-in-law, I was wrong, please spare me this time, ugh——"

"I'm waiting for your answer!" Zhou Yang gently helped Wang Shuying up and pushed him aside, looking at Xue Pan with cold eyes, "Do you need me to repeat the question?"

"The second master of the Zhen family, the cousin of the Wang family, and a dozen other brothers—ahem, they are all young masters from various families in Jinling City." Let’s play in Wanhua Building together!”

"Huh -" Zhou Yang sighed with relief and shook his head, thinking about outside the room and said, "Someone comes!"

"Uncle, I don't know what you want." A Xue Pan boy trembled and knelt down and asked.

"Bang!" Zhou Yang kicked out again, and the boy's neck tilted to the side with a clear "click", and he was dead. "The person from the overseas guards of the Xue family, is there anyone on duty outside?" of?"

"I'm here to serve you!" A man pretending to be a man crawled out of the inner courtyard door and ran into the study. He knelt down and said with a "pop", "I said before I came here that I will do everything I say. I don't know what happened this time."

"Drag him to the enclosed yard. He is not allowed to go out without my order. He will be starved to death every day. If he dares to say one more thing, slap him in the face with anything you can find until he becomes honest. Go Come on!" Zhou Yang said lightly.

"I understand!" The well-dressed man greeted the two people without hesitation, dragging Xue Pan out.

"Mother, mother, save me!" Xue Pan, who had already been hit to death, hurriedly howled twice, but no one dared to say anything, even Wang Shuying only opened his mouth, but still didn't say anything.

"Everyone get lost!" Seeing Xue Pan howling and being dragged away, Zhou Yang waved his hands to the surrounding servants with a cold face, indicating that they should disappear quickly. After a while, only two masters were left in the study. Zhou Yang Then he turned to look at Wang Shuying.

"Ziyang, after all, he was beaten so badly by you," the young woman said unbearably.

"When we get to the military camp, the fighting will only get worse." Zhou Yang said lightly.

"Anyway - ugh, let's find a doctor to look at him!" Wang Shuying cried and threw herself into his arms, "What if there is something wrong with him?"

"It's better not to have this kind of thing!" Zhou Yang said coldly, "You also heard that Wang Ren was clearly trying to trick him, but what did he do? And the second young master of the Zhen family, do you know When the second uncle was doing business with the Zhen family, this man actually wanted to not pay the money, and had dozens of people killed before he was forced to pay."

"That's not possible." Wang Shuying said calmly.

"Shut up, I'm doing this for his own good, so you don't have to worry about it anymore!" Zhou Yang pushed her down on the couch impatiently, "Even if this one is gone, at worst, I'll give you another one here, anyway. I won’t let you feel empty at your knees!”

"Be gentle. The place where you hit me still hurts badly!"

"Just kneel down!"
