A Clash of Gods

Yang Ning stunned, Gu Qinghan frowned: "What do you say? Why can't we see the chief executive?" She also spent a few days in the old house with good memory, but also had some impressions of the old man who opened the door. But I don't know what the name is.

The little old man said: "The general manager Qi Hong you said is no longer in the old house, so I can't see it."

Gu Qinghan's shock was different. He lost his voice: "Qi Hong is not here? How is it possible that he has been taking care of the old house?" Before he started, he found that the old house was really strange.

"Don't talk nonsense, open the door and let us in." Yang Ning stretched out his hands to push them open, but the little old man blocked, said: "I advise you to leave early, to pretend to be a prince, and the people in the house know that you want to go I can't go either. "

Yang Ning stunned, wondering how the old man knew he was a pretender?

Gu Qinghan was annoyed and said in a cold voice: "Qi Hong is not in the old mansion, where is it? Who is the main man in the old mansion now?" Thought of it, he took off the hat on his head, his hair spread out like a waterfall, staring at that The old man said, "Do you know me?"

The little old man looked around and showed surprise, and lost his voice: "Yes ... it's the third lady!"

Gu Qinghan thought that your old man's memory was not bad, but the little old man had already opened the door and knelt on the ground: "The old slave is rude, please ask the third lady for forgiveness!"

Yang Ning is still wondering if he is being seen by this little old man as a pretender, and seeing that the old man recognized Gu Qinghan, he realized that he had misunderstood, and thought that even Gu Qinghan and his wife did not see their flaws, this little old man was afraid I haven't even seen Jinyi Shizi before seeing it. How can I see through it?

"Get up first." Gu Qinghan walked past the old man and entered the yard. Yang Ning also followed in. As soon as he started, he felt a chill in this big day, and he didn't know if he had too many old houses. Personal residence, so it seems deserted.

The old man got up, closed the door, and followed from behind. Yang Ning found out that the old man was limp when he walked, and turned out to be a lame.

Along the way, I saw the courtyard deep, with rockery flat grass inside, until I reached the old mansion hall, and no other figures were seen. Gu Qinghan had a serious face, entered the hall, and turned to want to follow the old man and asked: "Everyone Where did it go? Why has it become so deserted here? "

The old man was busy saying: "Master Cheng went to the city and said that he would come back in the evening. There were ten more people in the house, so the old slaves called them over."

"Wait a minute." Gu Qinghan frowned. "Who is the Lord Cheng you said? Why haven't I heard of it?" He asked again: "Oh, I see you familiar, but you can't remember your name."

The old man said: "Old slave Wei Dong, when the third lady passed the door, the old slave was in this old house. The third lady remembered the old slave very well."

"Your memory is not bad, you can recognize me." Gu Qinghan sat down on a chair, and Yang Ning also sat down on the side, glancing around.

"The third lady doesn't know Master Cheng?" Wei Dong was a little surprised. "Master Cheng is the son of the chief executive. For the past two years, Master Cheng took care of the old mansion.

"The son of the chief executive?" Gu Qinghan is even more strange: "You said he was taking care of the old mansion in the past few years, where did the chief executive go? You just said that we don't see the chief executive, what do you mean?"

Wei Tong explained: "The general manager suddenly suffered a stroke three years ago and was paralyzed. He could only lie in a bed and be served by someone. It was then that Cheng Cheng ... Qi Cheng just came over soon, the affairs of the old house, Qi Cheng He will temporarily take over from the chief executive. "

Gu Qinghan said in surprise: "Three years ago? You mean that in the past three years, the old house and the food are all called Qi Cheng's care?"

Wei Dong apparently did not expect Gu Qinghan to react like this, strangely saying: "Does the Third Lady know nothing? Master Cheng goes to Beijing every year, and the Third Lady has not seen him?"

Yang Ning didn't think that there was such a change in the old house, frowned: "San Niang hasn't heard of this person from Qi Cheng? That executive can have a son? What did Qi Cheng do?"

Gu Qinghan shook his head and said, "Qi Hong was originally a family member of the Qi family. I don't know much about him. I remember his hometown was Jiangxia. Later, he fled to the old Houye and worked in his old house. There are other family members. "

Wei Dong said: "Old slaves rarely listen to the general manager mentioning his family, but I also heard that the general manager also set up some industries in his hometown Jiangxia. It seems that he also has several children. This ... Qi Cheng has been doing it in Jiangxia When he suddenly came to the old house to see the chief executive, the chief executive was also surprised at that time, but it was not easy for us to ask about the matter of the chief executive. "The voice lowered:" However, the chief executive seems to have a relationship with Qi Cheng and his father and son No, someone heard that they seemed to have quarreled a few times, and once the general manager suddenly had a stroke and could never get up again. "

"The origin of Qi Cheng is interesting." Yang Ning said with a chuckle: "The general manager has always been good. When Qi Cheng came to him, he suddenly had a stroke, San Niang. Isn't there anything wrong here?" See To Wei Dong, asked: "The chief executive has a stroke and can't take care of the old house. Will he send someone to Jingli to report?"

Wei Dong said: "Qi Cheng sent someone to Jingli that day, the chief executive couldn't stand up, no one in the old mansion, Qi Cheng took over from the chief executive temporarily."

"Hou Man didn't know about it." Gu Qinghan's beautiful eyes were full of surprises: "Qi Cheng succeeded the general manager, and the rest of the old man had nothing to say? What qualifications do he have to take over the old mansion affairs."

Wei Dong was also surprised and said: "This ... this is the meaning of Hou Mansion. Xiao Cui sent to Beijing also brought a letter from Jingli, telling the old mansion that Qi Cheng will take over all the management Affairs, everyone in the old house must obey Qi Cheng's instructions. "

"San Niang, it seems that we don't know more things than we thought." Yang Ning sighed: "The old house has been replaced by an executive, even you don't even know."

Gu Qinghan calmed down and pondered a little before asking: "You mean that Qi Cheng will come back at night?"

"He went out yesterday and said that he went to Jingzhou City to see the executive." Wei Dong said: "After the executive's stroke, Qi Cheng sent him to Jingzhou City for rehabilitation. The old slave hasn't seen the executive in a long time, nor I know what the situation is now. Before he left, he only said that he would come back tonight at the latest. "

Gu Qinghan sneered: "That's very good, I want to see, where is this Qicheng sacred." He asked again: "Do you know the tax bank? The tax bank on Jiangling has been more than a month late, Why didn't you send it over? "

Wei Dong said in a daze: "The old slave just guarded the gate and did not know these things." He also said: "Yes, Mr. Zhao is in the house, he is the account room of the old house, and the accounts are in and out In his hand, the old slave went to call him over, and he should be very clear about the tax bank. "He was about to call Mr. Zhao and Gu Qinghan called:" Wait a minute, Wei Dong, there can be a surnamed Luo in the old house. ? "

"Luo Guanshi?" Wei Dong stunned, shaking his head: "There are only 16 people in the house. In addition to the account room, kitchen and warehouse stables, there are only a few young men hired by Qi Cheng. Qi Cheng also went to the city with Qi Cheng once. The old slave remembered that there was no Luo surname there, and besides the general manager, Mr. Zhao, who was in the house of the house, was a scholar, and there was nothing to manage. The general manager is enough, no more than the capital Houfu, and there is no need to manage things. "

Although Gu Qinghan was wise and intelligent, at this time, he only felt a little dazed, but Yang Ning also felt that the old house was full of strangeness.

"You go and ask Mr. Zhao first." Gu Qinghan raised his hand to signal that Wei Dong went to call someone first, and Wei Tong bowed back.

Gu Qinghan's elbow rested on the chair handle, and his jade hand supported his cheeks. His face was dignified. When thinking about it, Yang Ning knew that Gu Qinghan would be full of doubts at the moment. He approached and asked softly, "San Niang, the taxes in recent years , Is there nothing missing? "

"Except for this time, although there were occasional delays in the previous tax bank, there was no shortage." Gu Qinghan slightly raised his head and frowned: "Wei Dong said that after the general manager had a stroke, he sent someone to the capital to report, but I didn't have anything. As far as I know, if it wasn't for this time that the tax bank was not delivered, we would not return to the old house. I was kept in the dark about everything that happened here. " Take care of it, but I ... hey, I'm really useless. "

"Emperor Tian Gao is far away, and there is no delay before the tax bank. How could San Niang think that there was an accident on the old house." Yang Ning said softly: "But there is a pile now, if the old house is true. He sent someone to Hou Fu to report everything here, but San Niang knew nothing about it. That is, someone deliberately blocked the news from San Niang. "

"That can only be General Manager Qiu." Gu Qinghan said: "Someone from the old house enters Beijing, and Hou Mansion will never be able to refuse it. Mo said it is the old mansion, even if someone from Jiangling side passes by, Hou Mansion will also receive However, the reception of foreign guests has always been the general manager of Qiu. The old man here is naturally known to the general manager, but the general manager has such a big stroke, why does the general manager hide it? Does n’t he know that the paper ca n’t hold the fire, this kind of Things, I will know one day, how will he explain to me then? "

Gu Qinghan thinks things are getting weirder ~ www.readwn.com ~

At this moment, I heard footsteps from outside, and one person hurriedly entered the door. Yang Ning had not yet seen the appearance of the man. The man had already knelt to the ground and respectfully said: "The villain Zhao Yuan, see Shizi and San lady!"

When Yang Ning saw the man in a long shirt and a green cloth hat, he looked like a scholar.

"Are you Mr. Zhao? Get up and speak first." Gu Qinghan handles family affairs all year round, and comes from a noble family with outstanding temperament, at this time calm and calm.

Zhao Yuan got up from the tent, with a thin figure, with a figure of eight beards, and a chain of blue beards under his jaw. He was in his early forties, and he looked pretty elegant. With a smile, full of respect, he said: "I don't know that Shizi and the third lady will come back suddenly. There is no preparation here, and I ask Shizi and the third lady to forgive sins."

"Zhao account room, I ask you, why the tax bank on Jiangling side has not been delivered to Beijing?" Gu Qinghan said with a cold face: "What happened?"

"Tax silver?" Zhao Yuan's face was stunned. "Mrs. Madam, when are you talking about tax silver?"

"Of course it is this year's autumn silver." Gu Qinghan frowned: "Can I still find you who will not be able to make the tax and money next year?"

In the old house, tax silver will be sent to Beijing twice a year, once in the handover period in spring and summer, and once again in autumn and winter.

Zhao Yuan immediately said: "Mrs. Three laughed, Qiu Yin left as early as the end of September. Last year Qiu Yin was delayed for a few days, so this year was delivered as early as possible, so as not to worry about Hou Fu's end, it is reasonable to say that it will be in early October It should be delivered to Hou Mansion, and it should never be delayed.
