Feng Jue arranged the people in an extremely secluded and safe place, and left two guards to guard them to protect their safety.
Shen Tingsi used a tactic of feinting to the east and attacking in the west to successfully shift the blame to Zhou Qingyuan's underestimation of the enemy and his arch-enemy Heiya, and successfully diverted Zhou Qingyuan's attention.
Diverting his attention was not enough, and Shen Tingsi sent Zhou Qingyuan to southern Fujian to suppress bandits.
Now that he is at a critical juncture of promotion, Zhou Qingyuan is looking forward to making some more achievements to show Shen Tingsi, and suppressing bandits is just what he wants.
After receiving Shen Tingsi's order, Zhou Qingyuan immediately led a team to southern Fujian and handed over all the affairs of the mansion to the accountant.
Although the accountant did not stay with Zhou Qingyuan for a long time, Zhou Qingyuan saved his life, and in order to repay his kindness, the accountant was willing to go through fire and water for Zhou Qingyuan.
Precisely because he understood the accountant's character, Zhou Qingyuan had always cultivated him as his confidant, and the master and servant had cooperated very well in the past few years.
Zhou Qingyuan did not hide the secrets of Jinse Tower from the accountant. It can be said that the accountant was involved in all the secrets behind Zhou Qingyuan.
Now, even if Zhou Qingyuan handed over the entire general's mansion to the accountant, he had no worries at all.
Jiang Li has managed the affairs of the general's mansion and the shop in order these days, and she doesn't try to get close to Zhou Qingyuan as she did before, which changes Zhou Qingyuan's impression of her.
During the time that Zhou Qingyuan went to southern Fujian, the accountant had to manage the shop in the mansion, secretly search for the whereabouts of the hostages, and secretly control the business behind the general's mansion, all in order to divide the profits into three parts.
Fearing that the accountant could not take care of so many things alone, Zhou Qingyuan specifically told him before leaving that the accounts of his house could be temporarily handed over to Jiang Li to manage.
The accountant was having trouble dividing his attention into three tasks. It was precisely because of Zhou Qingyuan's instructions before he left that Jiang Li had the opportunity to come to the accountant's office openly to look up the secret accounts of the General's Mansion.
Jiang Li successfully got the account book hidden in the secret compartment. She was shocked when she saw it! It turned out that not only Jinse Tower was related to the General's Mansion, but even the largest gambling house in Jiangnan City was under the name of the General's Mansion!
Good fellow, as a 'high-minded' general of Zhengbei, he actually has two major businesses, brothels and gambling houses! No wonder the general's mansion eats a lot of fish and meat every day, and even the servants eat the same food as those rich families. With the daily income from the gambling houses and brothels, the general's mansion may not be able to eat it all in three generations!
Zhou Qingyuan has finally figured out how to quickly earn money from business opportunities!
But even though he was already so wealthy, Zhou Qingyuan was still not satisfied and set his sights on the Jiang family's assets.
In the previous life, he plotted to force Jiang's father and mother to death, and took over the Jiang family's property as his own under the identity of the Jiang family's son-in-law.
The behavior was so bad that he deserved death! Jiang Li glanced at the account book in her hand, and after knowing the hidden assets of the General's Mansion, she put the account book back intact.
Like master, like dog. Like Zhou Qingyuan, the accountant is also suspicious.
Although he temporarily handed over the account books of the General's Mansion to Jiang Li due to his physical condition, he did not trust Jiang Li and came to the accounting office every day to check the account books hidden in the secret compartment.
These were all recorded by the marks Jiang Li left quietly.
After learning that Jinse Tower and the gambling house were both secret businesses of the General's Mansion, Jiang Li vaguely thought of a case that shocked the entire Jiangnan City.
The mystery of the successive deaths of several prefects.
Jinse Tower and the gambling house were the crime scenes where several prefects died.
These two secret dealers can't trip up the general's mansion, so what if the lives of several prefects are added? Jiang Li narrowed her eyes and immediately changed into men's clothes and went to the gambling house.
At that time, the restaurant.
Shen Tingsi stood with his hands behind his back in front of the window on the second floor. Opposite him was the busy Jinse Tower.
Feng Jue has already sneaked into the dark room of Jinse Tower with the people's tokens, and asked the people trapped inside to cooperate with their actions.
It’s almost time to come back.
Just as Shen Tingsi was waiting for Feng Jue in the restaurant, a familiar figure hurriedly passed by him on the street.
Shen Tingsi's eyes flashed, and he followed immediately.
Although Jiang Li was now dressed as a man, Shen Tingsi still caught sight of her in the crowd at a glance.
This time, Shen Tingsi did not follow Jiang Li quietly like he did last time. Seeing that she was walking alone, he came directly to her side.
She turned her head and looked at Shen Tingsi in surprise: "Mr. Shen?"
Shen Tingsi remained calm: "Where are you going?"
Jiang Li did not hide it and whispered two words: "Gambling house."
She knew that Shen Tingsi had noticed something and had been secretly investigating the General's Mansion these days, so she told him the information she knew without hesitation.
If you want Zhou Qingyuan and his family to pay the price they deserve, you can't do without the final order of the Emperor of Chu.
Since the Emperor of Chu is right beside him, it's a good opportunity for him to see with his own eyes what kind of person Zhou Qingyuan is! The two of them came to the gambling house together. Jiang Li took Shen Tingsi directly to one of the gambling tables and took out a thick stack of banknotes from his arms without saying a word.
After seeing the stack of banknotes, the people surrounding the gambling table gasped and looked at Jiang Li in disbelief.
"Where is Master Yu? Isn't it said that Master Yu is a master at playing cards? Call him out. I'm going to make him lose miserably today!"
As soon as Jiang Li came up, she threw a thick stack of banknotes onto the gambling table, lifted up her robe and put her feet up on a bench nearby, looking like a rich and willful second-generation rich kid.
Upon seeing this, the clerks in the gambling house hurried to inform Master Yu Sanye, and soon Master Yu Sanye, who was known as the God of Gamblers, walked out of the gambling house.
"I heard someone wants me to lose miserably?"
A deep voice sounded from behind the crowd, and after hearing the voice, everyone subconsciously made way.
The person who came was Master Yu San, a middle-aged man with an extremely shrewd look.
Jiang Li looked Yu Sanye up and down, with a look of contempt on her face: "Are you Yu Sanye? Do you dare to bet with me? If you win, all these banknotes are yours!"
Master Yu San looked in the direction of Jiang Li's finger. When he saw the thick stack of banknotes on the table, his eyes flickered slightly, and then he happily accepted Jiang Li's provocation.
"Why not?"
Jiang Li was arrogant and looked at him with disdain: "I heard that you are known as the God of Gamblers in Jiangnan? Today, I will make you give up this title and let others take your place!"
She rolled up her sleeves as she spoke, looking menacing.
Hearing that Jiang Li dared to speak so arrogantly in front of Master Yu San, everyone instantly became interested and gathered around Jiang Li's table.
Master Yu San smiled and looked at Jiang Li across from him: "Okay, if you can beat me today, I'll give you the title of Jiangnan Gambling God, how about that?"
"Stop talking nonsense and start!"
After Jiang Li finished speaking, she started shaking the dice in her hand. Master Yu Sanye on the opposite side did not waste any time and started shaking the dice along with her.
Seeing that Jiang Li was moving very skillfully, everyone looked at her with curiosity.
Could it be that this boy is really good? Thinking that maybe someone would beat Master Yu San today, everyone's emotions instantly rose, and they stared at the Ling Pen in Jiang Li's hand without blinking.
"stop--"
The waiter shouted, and Jiang Li and Yu Sanye stopped what they were doing instantly.
Master Yu San made a gesture of invitation to Jiang Li: "Little brother, come first."
“Buy big!”
Jiang Li said without hesitation.
"Since my little brother bought a big one, I can only buy a small one. Let's go."
As soon as the voice fell, Jiang Li and Yu Sanye opened the order basin in their hands, and everyone looked at the dice under Jiang Li's order basin.
