Chapter 095 Jin丨Exclusive publication of Jiang Wenxue

Gong Jiu did not come in, just stood at the door and looked at them.

Xue Chen knew what he was thinking, but ignored him. Instead, he focused all his attention on Xie Heng, tidied his clothes for him, and asked softly: "You have been sitting for so long, do you want me to massage you?"

Xie Heng: "Thank you."

Gong Jiu knew that his brother knew his thoughts very well. But he completely ignored his intentions, and instead took great care of Xie Heng, deliberately making him unhappy. He must have done something wrong again and made him angry.

But he didn't know what he did wrong this time.

And why are his brother and Xie Heng so familiar?

Xie Heng has difficulty walking, and rarely goes out on his own initiative. His brother has been recovering from an illness, and the two have not seen each other recently!

Why did the eldest brother hug Xie Heng so naturally!

Xie Heng is of humble status, has no martial arts skills, and is a cripple. How can he deserve to be treated gently by such a noble person as his eldest brother!

Xie Heng clearly saw the resentment and jealousy in Gong Jiu's eyes.

Xue Chen: [My brother must be envious of Xie Heng for having his legs broken.]

System: [It shouldn't be the case, right? He just likes to be beaten, and he still cares about his dignity.]

Xue Chen: [What do you think, if he is still unwilling to give up his foundation outside in the end, I will break his legs and lock him up? 】

System: [……]

Xue Chen did not wait for the system's answer, thinking that the system was becoming more and more silent.

Xue Chen was about to take off Xie Heng's boots when Gong Jiu walked in quickly: "Brother, let me do it."

"Go sit over there." Xue Chen pointed to the table and said lightly.

He picked up Xie Heng, changed his position, helped Xie Heng turn over, and rubbed his waist.

System: [Does it really hurt? ]

Xue Chen: [Yes, and my legs are numb from sitting all the time. ]

System: [Xie Heng has worked so hard, and I still have to work for you for nothing even after all this. ]

Xue Chen: [What nonsense are you talking about, Xie Heng is me! Gong Jiu

saw the paper on the table at a glance. He followed his brother's instructions and sat down. He picked up the paper and took a look. He found some numbers written on it. He was overwhelmed and had a hard time identifying what was written on it.

Since coming to the palace, Xie Heng has never dealt with the accounts of Wuming Island. The palace's accounts are done by the housekeeper. Could these things be Xie Heng's doodles when he was bored?

Or, did his elder brother want to know about the affairs of Wuming Island and came to ask Xie Heng?

What is written on it is the account of Wuming Island?

Why is his elder brother angry? Is it related to these things?

Xue Chen pressed a few times and found that he was very tired and not as comfortable as his younger brother. He gave up after a while.

Not far away, Gong Jiu stared at the paper on the table, his face full of solemnity.

Xue Chen: "Do you know what this is?"

Gong Jiu was at a loss: "What is it?"

Xue Chen walked over: "Uncle Cheng said that the mansion has had a lot of expenses recently, but the accounts don't match. This one in your hand is the amount you have spent in recent days."

Since his elder brother was willing to explain to him, he didn't need to waste time with these things.

Gong Jiu put the paper down neatly: "How much is missing?"

Xue Chen took a deep breath.

If Xie Heng was not himself, he really wanted Xie Heng to explain!

Is this a question of missing or too much!

Gong Jiu noticed his brother's impatience, lowered his head and looked at the numbers on the paper carefully, three, two, nine, zero, zero, eight, two...

He closed his eyes.

I have really tried my best, and I simply cannot count them all.

Gong Jiu looked at his elder brother with grievance.

His elder brother knew that he could not count, but still let him look at these things.

Xue Chen sat in front of him: "Why do you take the initiative?"

Gong Jiu: "What?"

Xue Chen: "Do you think that if you do not touch the money in the public account and use your own money to support the expenses of the family, everything will be fine?"

Gong Jiu nodded.

Xue Chen: [I really don't want to take care of his mess.]

System: [But if you don't care, he will let Xie Heng clean up the mess, and then happily do other things.]

Xue Chen: [Yes!]

Gong Jiu can't control Xie Heng, but Xie Heng can't control Gong Jiu either, so this matter will be handled lightly until the next time the stupid younger brother stabs Luo Zi again.

Xue Chen: "How much money do you have?"

Gong Jiu pondered.

After a long time, he replied: "A lot."

Xue Chen: [......]

System: [Don't be angry, your health is not good to begin with, be careful of getting a heart attack.]

Xue Chen: [Stupid thing, getting angry hurts your liver.]

Xue Chen locked the weird system into the small dark room.

Gong Jiu stood up, stood behind Xue Chen, and said to him: "Brother, you know me, I don't know anything about this, and I really can't figure out how much I have. You can ask Xie Heng, he has always been in charge of my accounts."

Xue Chen was mad.

Xie Heng only knew the expenses of the account on the nameless island, and there were some small problems with the expenses every month. How could he know what private property you had outside! !

Xue Chen: "Write down all your businesses outside."

Gong Jiu obediently picked up the pen and took a clean piece of white paper from the side, and asked while writing: "Why do you ask this?"

Xue Chen: "The expenditure in the mansion does not match the accounts, which may arouse suspicion from those who have ulterior motives. If dad finds out and asks you where the money came from, how will you answer?" Gong

Jiu felt that he was very smart. The money in the mansion was no different from the past, and the things bought were all the things that should be bought. He really couldn't figure out where the mistake went wrong.

But he understood the latter part of the sentence and knew that his elder brother was helping him to hide the man. He felt satisfied and said obediently, "I will listen to you, elder brother."

His handwriting was not big, and it took him three pages of dense writing to list all the industries in various places.

Gong Jiu handed the paper to his eldest brother: "There are some others that I can't remember clearly. As long as I leave a triangle mark, they will cooperate with my actions after seeing it."

Xue Chen took the paper and said in surprise: "You also know triangles?"

Gong Jiu was speechless: "Brother, I just can't count, I'm not a fool..."

Xue Chen: "How many corners does a triangle have?"

Gong Jiu: "Three." Xue Chen

picked up the pen and drew a triangle on the paper: "How many corners does this pattern have?"

Gong Jiu wanted to prove himself in front of his brother, so he was serious and counted one by one: "One, two, two... one, two, two... two, two?"

Xue Chen: "What does the triangle you drew look like?"

Gong Jiu's eyes were wide open: "So I have always drawn triangles?"

Xue Chen: "..."

He released the system from the small dark room: [It's over, I fooled him. 】

System: [Is it possible that he has always had some problems with his brain? 】

Xue Chen: [Go back! 】

System: [No, no, no, I was wrong. 】

Xue Chen stared at the face that looked exactly like his own, then looked at the densely packed industries on the paper, and then looked at the "diagonal" next to it.

Gong Jiu was uneasy: "Brother? Am I wrong?"

Xue Chen: [I don't know how many points he would get if he were given an intelligence test. 】

System: [……]Admit it, he is abnormal.

Xue Chen patted his hands lovingly: "It's okay, no matter what you look like, you will always be my brother."

Gong Jiu vaguely felt that there was something strange about these words coming out at this time, but he really liked these words, especially when paired with his elder brother's gentle expression, as if he could tolerate everything about him.

They will always be the closest brothers.

Accepting the fact that his brother was a fool, Xue Chen felt a little tired, but his tolerance for Gong Jiu increased sharply, and he was not so angry even when he cleaned up his messy stall.

He took the papers written by Gong Jiu back to his room and memorized them one by one to avoid mistakes when exchanging identities.

Xue Chen sighed: [My brother has so many industries. He has a good memory and can even remember a fly restaurant on the street.]

System: [Is it possible that something happened there?]

Xue Chen: [You have really become smarter, but only a little. My brother's industries would never have fallen into his hands without something going wrong, but they are not in these small shops. Look at the shops in this area. Although it is not written, I still have an impression of them. 】

System: [It looks so familiar. I wonder where I have seen it before? 】

Xue Chen: [It was in Weiluo Town. It was obvious that Xiao Mian went home to look for her relatives. That’s why my brother sent people to this town to set up businesses and plant spies. I’m afraid the other towns are also connected in this way. They are all in the same area. Something must have happened, so my brother went there. 】

System: [It seems that he has a talent for business. 】

Xue Chen: [That’s all thanks to money. It has nothing to do with him. 】

After Xue Chen recited Gong Jiu’s industries, Xie Heng also got the information. He found out the industries in the capital, roughly estimated their value, and modified the palace’s account book within the acceptable range.

He handed the account book to Hu Sheng and sent it back to the original body.

Xue Chen took the account book and checked it roughly. After confirming that it was correct, he asked Xiao He to bring white clothes and change out of the gorgeous clothes.

Although Gong Jiu was not here, Xiao He was still a little afraid. She lowered her voice and asked carefully: "What should I do if the prince comes after you leave?"

Xue Chen said gently; "Just tell him the truth, don't worry, it's okay."

Xiao He used to be very afraid of Gong Jiu. She had always been by Xue Chen's side, but she betrayed Xue Chen under Gong Jiu's coercion and temptation. She never thought of asking Xue Chen for help. It can be seen that in her heart, Xue Chen could not compete with Gong Jiu.

But recently, the prince and the eldest son have been in frequent contact. Although she didn't know what happened specifically, she saw the expression of the prince when he left.

At first she thought that the two brothers were having a conflict, but later she found that it was not the case.

Their relationship was even better than before, but the person who held the initiative had changed from the strong and cold prince to the gentle and amiable eldest son.

With the prince's temperament, he would definitely keep everything under control, and the closer the person was, the more so, and he would not tolerate any mistakes. But now he has taken the initiative to give in. I really don't know how the eldest son did it.

The more Xiao He understood Xue Chen, the more she admired him.

Although she didn't understand why the eldest son was so sure that the prince would not know, she still agreed decisively: "Yes."

Xue Chen changed into white clothes: "Go get my sword."

His sword was put away a long time ago, and Xue Chen had not even touched it since he traveled through time.

Every time he thought of the sword, he would think of his brother Jian Qi's awe-inspiring look, and then associate him with the look of him being whipped, and it was the same face as his own, so he felt particularly ashamed.

Since he had to pretend to be Gong Jiu, he naturally had to be more comprehensive.

Gong Jiu was a swordsman. Although he had reached the realm of "no sword", he could also use a sword.

Just like Shaman said, since you are practicing swords, why should you pursue no sword?

Xiao He took out the sword and handed it to Xue Chen.

This sword was made by someone asked by King Taiping a few years ago. A total of two swords were made, one for him and one for Gong Jiu.

The two are exactly the same height and weight, and the length and weight of the weapons they use are also the same, but the patterns on the hilt are slightly different.

Xue Chen drew out the sword and saw his face reflected in the sword light.

That face looks exactly like Gong Jiu's.

System: [So perverted.]

Xue Chen: [Want to go into the small dark room, right?]

System: [No, I really didn't mean to say that this time, I just said it subconsciously. You're so smart, you should understand what I mean, right?]

Xue Chen ignored it, his expression tense, he restrained the gentleness in his eyes, and his aura became cold.

These changes were actually very subtle. The moment he put on the white clothes, he was already very similar to Gong Jiu, and now he had a more divine charm. Even if someone observed carefully, it would be difficult to find the difference.

Xiao He brought a small porcelain bottle with concern: "Sir, medicine."

In order to reassure her, Xue Chen took the medicine bottle and put it away: "I will be back in the evening, don't worry."

Xiao He: "Okay."

He took the sword and was about to leave, but suddenly remembered something and said to Xiao He: "Go to Lian'er and get a few ingots of gold."

"Gold, gold?"

Xiao He thought she had heard it wrong. Who would keep gold around? According to the eldest son, the prince has always kept gold.

Xue Chen nodded: "Go ahead."

Xiao He went to Gong Jiu's place without knowing why, but she actually found a lot of gold in his room. Counting the weight, there were at least more than one thousand taels.

Xiao He took out four pieces of gold, a total of two hundred taels, and carefully held them in front of Xue Chen.

Xue Chen put the gold and the medicine bottle together, he was full of energy: [Let's go!]

System: [I don't know what you are going to do yet.]

Xue Chen: [Inspect my brother's shop, see how loyal they are to my brother, and see if they can be resold to the palace to settle his account.]

System: [Shouldn't we take out the money from the palace to settle the account?]

Xue Chen: [Where is the money from the palace.]

System: [Impossible? Your family received so many gifts during the holidays? 】

Xue Chen: 【Those things are very precious, but they haven't been cashed in yet? My father is away fighting, and my brother seems to be supplementing the family income. He always sends several boxes of useless things. The whole family depends on my father's salary, and it is also difficult for me to manage the household. 】

System: 【Then take those treasures out and sell them. 】

Xue Chen: 【These warehouses must be recorded, and it is easy to see what is missing. If I take them out and sell them, others will think that my family can't make ends meet, and they are no different from Chen Yuanwang. 】

System: 【Who is Chen Yuanwang? 】

Xue Chen: 【Your memory is not as good as my brother's. Do you want Da Mian to lend you a few skill points to increase your memory? 】

System: [……]

Xue Chen: [Chen Yuanwang is the one who sold his ancestral home in Longxing Mansion. Xie Heng lives in his Hongdouju. 】

System: [Oh, it’s him. 】

Xue Chen’s residence is very close to Gong Jiu’s. He came out of his house and pretended to be Gong Jiu. He had a cold face all the way. He ignored everyone who greeted him and walked out directly.

He left the palace and came to the street outside.

Xue Chen: [So strange. 】

System: [This is the door of your house! 】

Xue Chen: [Only Xiao Mian is familiar with this place. 】

System: [Isn’t the original owner familiar with it either? 】

Xue Chen: [He seldom goes out. Every time he goes out, he takes a carriage or a sedan chair and goes directly to his destination. 】

System: [He feels that he has no freedom at all. 】

Xue Chen: [Yes. 】

He walked forward slowly, passed through the alley in front of the palace, and came to a wide street.

The neighbors of Prince Taiping were all dignitaries. The street in front was built very wide, and on both sides were some high-end-looking shops. Xue Chen looked at them one by one. There were antique paintings and calligraphy, jade, rouge and powder, all kinds of expensive things, but there were not many customers.

Xue Chen saw the shop in front and paused.

System: [Hefangzhai! 】

Xue Chen: [I never thought that Ximen Chuxue’s snack shop is right next to my house. 】

System: [I didn’t expect it either. 】

Xue Chen: [I haven’t even eaten there! 】

System: [……]

Xue Chen retracted his gaze and was about to continue walking forward. Several pedestrians crossed the street, revealing a swordsman in white standing at the other end of the street.

The two looked at each other from a distance.

The same white clothes, long swords, and tall figures. At that moment, both of them felt the shudder from the soul.

Xue Chen: [It's over, it's Ximen Chuxue. ]

[You still have the sword. ] System, [He's coming, maybe he will come to fight with you. ]

Xue Chen: [Then I will take the initiative and ask him to hit me. ]

System: [……Be more normal! ]

Xue Chen's face was solemn and he didn't move a step.

Ximen Chuxue walked all the way and came in front of him.

System: [Wuwu, don't. 】

Ximen Chuixue: "Ximen Chuixue."

Xue Chen: "Xue Lian."

System: [Eh? If you say this name, the whole city will know that your brother likes to be beaten! 】

Xue Chen: [Quick reaction, but if I say Gong Jiu, the whole city will know that Xue Lian is Gong Jiu. 】

System: [Then will you still ask him to beat you? 】

Xue Chen: [I lied to you. 】

System: [……]

Ximen Chuixue: "You use a sword?"

Xue Chen continued to talk nonsense with him: "You also use a sword?"

Ximen Chuixue: "Not bad."

Xue Chen: "Me too."
