Because discipline within the yamen has been lax recently, the Jingzhao Yin is personally convening a meeting of all the officials and soldiers in the yamen to rectify the work style issues.
The chief steward narrowed his eyes, finally realizing something was wrong. He whispered a few words into his subordinate's ear, and the man left.
Guo Li, who was recuperating in the Guo Mansion, was so angry when he heard the report from his subordinates that he almost sat up. After being in so much pain that he almost died, he roared breathlessly:
"Holding a meeting? The Guo family gambling house was robbed in broad daylight, and not only did they not come immediately to apprehend the thieves, they actually held a meeting behind closed doors? And they're also trying to rectify their work style? Holy crap!"
The subordinates knelt on the ground, not daring to look at the master's face at all.
After a long pause, Guo Licai said, "No one from the Jingzhao Yin will be coming, at least not for a while. The gambling house theft is probably related to Qingfeng. Hurry up and bring 20,000 taels of silver and 400,000 taels of gold notes from the mansion to send that Young Master Qian and those gamblers away."
Send someone to follow Young Master Qian and find out who's behind him. And those gamblers... humph, they're so audacious, taking advantage of the Guo family's crisis! Find out who these gamblers are. If they don't have any connections, we'll make them pay!"
"yes!"
"When acting, be mindful of the methods and approaches. Don't just kill them all for convenience. These people appeared in the casino today, and many people witnessed it. If you want to kill them or punish them, you have to choose the right time and place! I don't need to explain these things, right?"
"Yes, I will handle it properly!"
Guo Li said weakly: "Go down, today's misfortune is unfortunate. If Mr. Qian is really Qingfeng's man, these 400,000 taels of gold should be regarded as the Guo family's apology to the commander-in-chief." He can't afford to offend the emperor's personal guards!
"If it weren't for..."
Guo Li glared at his subordinate: "Bullshit!"
The subordinate immediately said, "Master, please calm down. I understand!" If it weren't for... he had cheated the Guo family out of so much money, killing him would have been considered a bargain!
When the Guo family's subordinate returned to Haokefang and conveyed the family head's intention to the chief steward, nearly three quarters of an hour had passed since the time promised by the chief steward.
The chief steward quickly distributed the two quarters of an hour's lost wages to the gamblers, and then gave the 410,000 taels of gold notes owed to Xiao Xuanxuan to Xiao Xuanxuan.
Xiao Xuanxuan left happily with the 410,000 taels of gold notes he won.
There are many treasures in his space, but he is reluctant to sell them for money. Although when he sees Grandpa Huang on weekdays, Grandpa Huang always secretly puts some silver bills in his bag, but at other times, he has very few opportunities to get silver bills.
30,000 taels of gold notes and a few thousand silver notes on him were truly all his possessions.
Now that he has made a fortune with these belongings, he plans to treat his friends out to dinner soon.
This time, he must treat Xiao Yueyue to a meal at the most upscale place, and he wants all his friends to envy him.
Thinking of the admiring eyes of his friends, Xiao Xuanxuan felt happy.
"Xiao Xuanxuan, we are being followed." Xiao Tao's childish voice reached Xiao Xuanxuan's ears.
Yes, it was indeed immature. Little Tao was indeed a young beast still hundreds of thousands of years away from reaching adulthood. And yet, Xiao Xuanxuan could hear everything Little Tao said and communicate with him without any problems.
