Volume 1 Chapter 45: Selling out the Ignorant People in the Mansion
After Shen Yin returned to the general's mansion, he summoned all his confidants to his courtyard.
"Do you have any objection to my resignation today?"
Chu Ze and the others replied, "We, the subordinates, swear to follow our master till death!"
"Okay, in that case, let's get ready. We'll set off for the wild land of Hainan tomorrow."
Just as Shen Yin finished arranging things, he heard the sound of women quarreling in the yard.
All I could hear were those voices roaring and cursing, "You heartless bastards, you don't care about the people in the general's mansion at all."
Just by hearing this voice, Shen Yin knew it was his vampire uncle's family.
Over the years, relying on their father's and their own military achievements, they have been domineering in their general's mansion and even regarded themselves as the masters here, completely forgetting the previous miserable days.
As the saying goes, it is easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. It seems that after hearing the news from the court, these vampires can no longer sit still.
Chu Ze and the others looked at each other in bewilderment, not daring to say anything. Chen Yin took the lead and walked out of his yard and headed straight for the noisy place.
On the way, he thought to himself that over the years, this family had long been accustomed to a life of wealth and glory, and had no idea of hierarchy. Even though he was a junior, he was still the General Zhenyuan appointed by the emperor himself.
Normally, these people are used to being hypocritical and flattering, but now that they see that such enormous wealth is out of their reach, they reveal their vicious hearts beneath their extremely hypocritical faces.
It's really ridiculous!
There was a lot of noise over there, but when everyone saw me coming, they immediately shut up.
"Second Madam was making a fuss, why didn't she stop?" Shen Yin said coldly.
The woman who had been called the Second Madam first examined her own face, then gritted her teeth and, for the sake of her own glory and wealth, said, "I wonder why the general resigned and returned to the countryside?"
"General, do you know how much money everyone in this general's mansion spends every year? If I really resign and return to the countryside, how can I afford my daily needs?"
Chen Yin's face was cold. Although he knew in his heart that these people only cared about the general's welfare and gold, silver and treasures, and never cared about his own safety, he was still a living person after all. How could he not care about the warmth of his family?
But after hearing what the Second Madam said just now, Shi Yu really gave up completely!
This group of people really don't deserve to enjoy the wealth and glory they have earned.
"Second Madam, what do you mean?"
"My general's mansion is so big, and the daily expenses are quite high. When I was an official in the court, I used my salary to support the Second Madam and her family, which was understandable. Now that I have resigned and prepared to return to the countryside, the Second Madam must find a way to make a living as soon as possible. I can't support you anymore!"
"Besides, I'm often away from the General's Mansion pacifying the surrounding areas. If these expenses are high, I don't know who the money goes to."
"I'll have to trouble Madam to bring me the welfare account book later. This general needs to take a good look at it."
"I work tirelessly outside, and my money didn't come from the wind. Even if it's all gone to waste, I need to know where it went!"
The Second Madam who had just been shouting and the people around her trembled in their hearts when they heard what Shen Yin said.
Yes, Chen Yin was not at home all year round, and all the expenses of this huge general's mansion were spent by his family, especially his disappointing son.
The Second Madam finally understood at this moment that she was just a family member living in the General's Mansion. However, over the years, the wealth and splendor of the General's Mansion had made her lose her original intention and take everything for granted!
Chu Ze had long been disgusted with the Second Madam's family's actions. He stepped forward and said respectfully to the Second Madam, "Madam, please hand over the key to the treasury. Also, please bring the account book in your belly to the general for his review as soon as possible."
The Second Madam was upset at the moment. Seeing that even Chen Yin's subordinates dared to point fingers at her, she immediately felt dissatisfied.
"How come even a servant can tell me what to do now?"
After the lady said this, Chu Ze's expression changed, and Shen Yin's aura became increasingly cold!
"Second Madam, you've been staying in my house for so long, I'm afraid you've already forgotten its name."
Chu Ze is my subordinate, he represents my opinion. When did I lose my authority when speaking in my own house?
He turned to Chu Ze and said, "Take these servants and maids who were making such a noise and beat them to death!"
"yes!"
After the words fell, the sound of crying and shouting suddenly rang out. Yes, they had long regarded the Second Madam and others as their masters, but they forgot that the real master of this general's mansion was Chen Yin!
No matter how these people knelt and begged for mercy, Shen Yin did not show any mercy, because if he did not kill the chicken to scare the monkey today, these people would still come to ride on his head.
Soon, these people who had just been making a lot of noise were pulled away by Chu Ze and others. Their fate can be imagined.
It was not until screams were heard outside that the second wife came to her senses.
It’s a pity that the behavior of this group of people today has already made Shen Yin very upset.
So it is destined that they will not have a good ending!
When Chu Ze came back again, there was a faint smell of blood on his body.
"Chu Ze, expel the Second Madam and the others who committed the crime from the mansion, and find someone else to sell this mansion as soon as possible."
Take the treasury key and follow me to count the gold and silver in the mansion as soon as possible.
"Chen Yin, you are not a human being, you ungrateful wolf. We are your uncle and aunt. How can you kick us out of the general's mansion?"
Until this moment, the second wife still had not given up and was still courting death.
After walking a distance, Chen Yin turned around and said, "By the way, when Chu Ze orders the others to drive that lady and the others out of the mansion, don't forget to ask them to leave everything in the mansion behind."
"I want them to leave the house the same way they entered it."
After these words fell, the Second Madam and the others were completely disheartened, but they felt that since Shen Yin was young, they had the advantage of seniority and could control him.
But who knew that this time Chen Yin would not be persuaded by any tricks!
"Dismiss all the servants in this mansion. Those who can redeem themselves can do so now. If you cannot, sell them to traffickers."
At this moment, everyone in the mansion realized how wrong they were!
It’s a pity that the world is so big and there is no medicine for regret!
It’s too late to regret!
