Early on the third day, Ling Tuisi, who couldn't hold himself back, urged Chen Fan again.
Chen Fan had no intention of breaking the contract. He was very willing to send people to see the Buddha. Moreover, this was also an opportunity for him to leave Ling Tuisi's house arrest, so he happily informed Ling Tuisi of the location.
"A temple in the south and west of Jiangling City".
Chen Fan forgot the specific temple. He only remembered that it seemed to be an abandoned temple. The rest could be left to Ling Tuisi to find on his own.
Chen Fan believed that with Ling Tuisi's ability, this treasure would soon be available.
Ling Tuisi didn't pursue it. Chen Fan only gave the direction but no specific location. To him, with the direction and the characteristics of the temple, it was no different from the specific location. At most, it would only cost two more days.
Sure enough, Ling Tuisi found the treasure just two days later.
To the west of Jiangling City, Tianning Temple.
Ling Tuisi led a group of people into it, and Chen Fan and others were also brought over by Ling Tuisi.
"Sir, I found nothing."
A captain who led the team inspected Tianning Temple and reported to Ling Tuisi.
Ling Tuisi waved his hand to ask the captain to step aside, and then looked at Chen Fan with half-exploration and half-threat. If he finally found out that he had been tricked, he would definitely cut this guy into pieces and feed him to the dogs.
Looking at Ling Tuisi, whose eyes were getting colder and colder, Chen Fan calmly pointed to the Buddha Lotus under the Buddha statue in the main hall, signaling him to send someone to move it.
Chen Fan didn't want to mess with the poisonous gold and silver jewelry. He just hoped to keep the non-toxic disguised gold Buddha for him to pick up later.
"Without Yan Daping's hacking and slashing, this Buddha should have been saved." Chen Fan thought to himself.
Soon with a "clang" sound, the lotus petals were pushed and a secret door opened below.
A soldier entered it, and within a few breaths he let out a cry that penetrated into his soul;
"So many jewels. I'll make a fortune."
Hearing this, other soldiers guarding the secret door immediately rushed in;
"Wow, that's a lot of gold and silver."
Ling Tuisi quickly left a group of people behind and watched as Chen Fan and the others eagerly entered the secret door with the captain and master around them. When he saw countless wooden boxes containing gold, silver and jewelry in the secret room, Ling Tuisi was suddenly excited. , grabbed a handful of jewelry nearby and laughed.
"What's mine, it's all mine."
His hard work paid off, and he finally got this priceless treasure.
Hearing the people in the dark room exclaiming about the treasure and wealth, the remaining soldiers in the hall were also in turmoil, ready to act, and their greed was gradually rising.
Chen Fan took the opportunity to say to the soldiers guarding him, "If you don't go in yet, they will finish dividing the gold, silver and jewelry later."
The soldiers who couldn't hold themselves back heard the words and rushed in towards the secret door. For a while, they kept pushing and shoving, and the situation gradually got out of control.
Ling Tuisi, who was originally immersed in the dream of money, also realized something was wrong at this time, so he drew his sword and killed several soldiers who were making trouble.
The scene fell silent, but before Ling Tuisi could maintain order, the jealous soldier who was already poisoned drew his sword and started slashing at the people around him.
For a moment, the darkroom was in chaos. The people inside who had robbed the jewelry wanted to come out, and the soldiers who had not obtained the jewelry outside wanted to get in. They were fighting in a mess.
With this, Chen Fan, who was freed from Ling Tuisi's control, took the servants who didn't know why and rode away gracefully on the horse brought by Ling Tuisi.
Originally, he had prepared a back-up man from Dongchang to break away from Ling Tuisi, but now it seemed that it was no longer needed. He didn't think Ling Tuisi would be able to come out of Tianning Temple alive. It happened that he and the Jiang family had no idea how to deal with Dongchang.
As he hurried on, Chen Fan didn't want to stay in Jingzhou for a moment. It was going to be the center of the storm and it was too dangerous.
Sure enough, the news spread the next day. A local magistrate died and a treasure worth tens of millions was discovered. The world was shocked. All the forces who got the news came to their deaths one after another. Jingzhou instantly became the center of the whirlpool of killing.
Ding Dian was stunned when he heard the news in Jingzhou City. He didn't expect that the treasure he was guarding with all his life had been discovered, and he didn't expect that Ling Tuisi had found it, and he didn't expect that Ling Tuisi was actually poisoned to death.
For a moment he didn't know whether to be sad or happy.
On the other side, Yan Daping, Qi Changfa, and Wan Zhenshan, who were hiding in the dark and searching for the treasure, were also stunned when they heard the news. The good news was that the treasure they had been searching for so hard and betrayed their master was revealed. The bad news was that Facing the government and other major forces, the treasure seems to be out of reach.
The unpredictable changes in the world almost made their mentality collapse and go crazy.
....
When Jingzhou was in chaos, Chen Fan, the instigator, quickly rode back to Yangzhou City with his servants.
He couldn't wait to return home and practice martial arts quietly.
But as soon as he got home, Chen Fan felt that the atmosphere was not right. The servant who looked after him at home first looked happy and then looked trembling with fear. His attitude was completely different from before.
"Could the Jiang family be up to something again?" Chen Fan secretly speculated.
"My husband is back."
Just as Chen Fan handed the horse's reins to the servant guarding the door, Jiang Yuyan, wearing a light green palace skirt with bangs in the air, came out to greet him with several maids.
"lady."
The servant who was about to lead the horse away was a little frightened when he saw Jiang Yuyan's arrival and quickly saluted.
Chen Fan narrowed his eyes slightly, what the hell is Jiang Yuyan doing? It’s been a month since I’ve been so enthusiastic about myself?
And what about those servants? Why are you so afraid of Jiang Yuyan?
When did Jiang Yuyan, who never goes out, have such a deterrent effect? Moreover, he didn't recognize any of the maids behind him.
What did Yuejiang Yuyan do at home this time?
In just a short moment, Chen Fan's mind was like a diesel engine whirring with thoughts.
"Xiaolan, go and ask the big mouth in the kitchen to boil water for me to wash up and take a bath. At the same time, prepare a sumptuous meal for me to wash away the dust."
At this time, Jiang Yuyan was like a little daughter-in-law, welcoming her beloved husband who had returned from afar. She patted Chen Fan's robe as she approached, then smiled slightly, and gave instructions to one of the maids behind her.
"Yes, madam." The maid named Xiaolan immediately saluted and left to make arrangements.
"You go and have a rest. Tomorrow you will go to the accounting office to receive one tael of silver each."
Chen Fan recovered his thoughts, took Jiang Yuyan's hand, and turned to the servant who was running with him.
"Yes, Master. Thank you very much for the reward."
Upon hearing this, the servants in the west saluted happily, but they didn't expect that the master would still reward him generously even though his family property had been usurped by others. They all secretly wished him a long life and great wealth, and that the Jiang family would have no descendants.
There is both prosperity and loss. As Chen family servants, they really hope that Chen Fan will continue to lead them to glory.
When Chen Fan returned to the backyard, Jiang Yuyan was diligently waiting for Chen Fan to wash his face and hands like an ordinary wife.
Chen Fan looked like he had become a different person after being gone for a month. Jiang Yuyan said;
"Where are Xiaocai and Xiaodie?"
Xiaocai and Xiaodie, who were always the first to greet him, were nowhere to be seen today, which was very strange.
"Husband, don't you have anything to say to me when you come back from a long journey? Ask the two maids as soon as possible." Jiang Yuyan said to Chen Fan with a mixture of anger and resentment.
"Don't do this with me. I'll ask you the answer. What did you do to them?"
Chen Fan doesn’t know who Jiang Yuyan is? When I married myself, I had already darkened part of my heart. Now, who is showing this sudden show of being attentive and flattering to me?
It’s the backyard now, so there’s no need to perform it again.
If you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, if you marry a dog, follow the dog. Is that someone else, Jiang Yuyan? impossible!
Unless Jiang Yuyan had a different soul than his own, Chen Fan's understanding of her would be either adultery or theft.
"The two girls are too young and are impatient, so I sold them. I also found two young and beautiful maids for you. From now on, they will take care of you, okay?"
While Jiang Yuyan was acting coquettishly, she turned around and motioned for the two maids behind her to come forward and show Chen Fan.
"Xiaozhu and Xiaomei have met you."
Behind Jiang Yuyan, Xiaozhu and Xiaomei saw Madam's signal and quickly stepped forward to salute.
Chen Fan looked at the two maids with his eyes. They were about fifteen or sixteen years old, with oval-shaped faces. They were indeed young and beautiful.
But so what? Do you need a beautiful maid?
What I lack is someone I can trust, okay?
What is Jiang Yuyan going to do by replacing the people around her without authorization?
Take control of yourself?
"Jiang Yuyan, my man is not so restless.
If Xiaocai and Xiaodie don't come back tonight, your father Jiang Biehe will come over tomorrow to help you collect the bodies. "
Chen Fan said slowly to Jiang Yuyan's innocent big eyes without any pity at all, his voice was soft but his words were as sharp as a knife.
Forget it about the Jiang Liu family, what? Now even a puppy she raised has to sit on her head and poop?
Are you so easy to bully?
Hearing this, Jiang Yuyan's face instantly turned cold and she stopped pretending, "
I am the wife of your Ming media, Mrs. Chen. In your eyes, am I not as good as two mere maids? Want to kill me?
Aren't you afraid that my father will kill you first? "
Several maids on the side could not help but lower their heads with fear in their hearts when they saw the master and his wife "quarreling" and their words were often about killing and collecting the corpses. They did not dare to make the slightest move.
"It's really not as good as that. As for your father? We'll wait and see when he kills that poisonous woman. Now, if you give him ten nerves, he won't dare to trouble me because of you."
Chen Fan replied disdainfully.
Jiang Biehe, hehe, he's just a useless person who doesn't even dare to recognize his own daughter.
"You..." Jiang Yuyan was speechless for a moment, her father really didn't dare.
.....
After a stick of incense, the bedroom.
Xiaocai and Xiaodie are back, and they are very skilled in helping Chen Fan rub his back and bathe him, but they are much duller than before.
Chen Fan didn't ask Xiaocai and Xiaodie about their experiences. Looking at the injuries on their faces and bodies, he already knew what Jiang Yuyan had done.
If Chen Fan hadn't come back during this time, or if he hadn't forced Jiang Yuyan when he came back, maybe these two little guys would have been sold.
Chen Fan was angry that he didn't fight. There were dozens of people in the house, but they were bullied by someone who had just arrived for less than a month. Shameful...
While bathing and changing clothes, Chen Fan suddenly remembered what he had just said to the west servant not long ago, so he asked Xiaodie to call the accountant Chen Yi to prepare instructions, and also to find out how much silver was left and how long he could practice at home. .
In the restaurant, Chen Fan was stunned when he saw a middle-aged nanny who claimed to be the accountant. Jiang Yuyan had seized all the financial power of his family.
"Where's Chen Yi?"
Turning his head to look at Jiang Yuyan, who had followed after hearing the news, Chen Fan had to admit that he had underestimated her after all. Even if it disrupted the plot line, Jiang Yuyan was still a character that could not be ignored.
With this method, if I really come back late, whether my family will still be there or not will be a problem.
"Chen Yi's hands and feet were a little dirty, so I buried his body."
Jiang Yuyan picked up the tea that the maid had brewed and blew it. Her skin was already torn and she didn't want to act anymore.
"What do you want to do?"
Chen Fan put down the chopsticks in his hand with a snap, feeling slightly angry in his heart. His housekeeper was killed by the Jiang Liu family to scare the monkeys, and now as the second-in-command accountant in the house, he was also killed. What is he doing?
No wonder the servants were trembling with fear when they saw Jiang Yuyan's arrival, as if they were walking on thin ice. Who wouldn't be afraid of a mistress who seems harmless to humans and animals but is actually ruthless and murderous?
"As your wife, the mistress of the Chen Mansion, what's wrong? Forget about two cheap maids, they are your caring people. Now I don't even have the right to deal with a slave who has made a mistake?"
Jiang Yuyan, who was angry inside, put down her tea cup with a snap and turned her head to face Chen Fandan.
What the hell, can the accountant be an ordinary servant?
Jiang Yuyan didn't give Chen Fan a chance to get angry. She handed Chen Fan the account book she had prepared and raised her head slightly to signal Chen Fan to watch.
"Ledger? What do you mean?"
Looking at the confident Jiang Yuyan, Chen Fan flipped through the account book and saw some special marks with circles drawn in them. Well, this is the part of the account that has not been smoothed out, Chen Yi's evidence of corruption.
When the water is extremely clear, there are no fish; when people observe it, there are no disciples.
From the court to the street shops, this kind of thing is unavoidable.
The amount of corruption committed by Chen Yi was not large, but the crime was so serious that he was buried. Chen Fan believed that it would be impossible if there were no personal grudges.
The biggest reason should be that Chen Yi refused Jiang Yuyan to take over the stewardship.
After all, as the second-in-command in the Chen family, he knew exactly where this lady came from. That's why he was killed because he showed disrespect to Jiang Yuyan.
"How much money is there in the house now?" Chen Fan took a deep breath to resist the urge to take pictures. He ignored Jiang Yuyan and asked about the new accountant named Grandma Liu.
Jiang Yuyan is right. As a master, he still has the right to punish a slave who makes a mistake.
Of course, the most important thing is that Chen Yi is not as important as Xiaocai Xiaodie and the others in Chen Fan's heart.
"There are still two hundred and twenty taels of silver in the house."
Although Grandma Liu was from Jiang Yuyan, she obviously did not dare not answer Chen Fan's questions.
Chen Fan frowned when he heard this. The money is not enough. It can only ensure that everyone has enough food in the past two months. If you want to buy medicinal materials for martial arts training, it will definitely not be enough.
"Give one hundred and fifty taels to Xiaocai. From now on, the house will be divided into internal and external areas, and you will be responsible for the internal expenses. Before there is a new accounting office, Xiaocai will be responsible for the external expenses."
Chen Fan was the first to take over the arrangements and set the rules.
Chen Fan doesn't mind Jiang Yuyan being the housekeeper, and she doesn't want to be bothered by these trivial matters, but the premise of all this is not to mess around, there are some people and things that she shouldn't interfere with.
Chen Mansion is, after all, his Chen Mansion.
"this..."
Aunt Liu raised her head slightly and looked at Jiang Yuyan, wondering for a moment whether she should agree or not.
"What? Is there a problem?"
Chen Fan's tone was slightly cold. If Aunt Liu dared to say no, Chen Fan would ask her to accompany Chen Yi.
"No. No problem. I will get it right away."
Seeing Chen Fan's cold murderous intent, Aunt Liu quickly waved her hands to show compliance.
Jiang Yuyan didn't dare to say anything even if she was angry at this moment. She didn't have the confidence to challenge Chen Fan.
At this time, Jiang Yuyan suddenly felt a little envious of Jiang Liu, who had a backer to take care of her father.
And myself...
