Chapter 328 Dead
When Tang Yichen returned home, the lanterns at the door illuminated the street. The gatekeeper heard the sound of the carriage wheels and immediately opened the door to welcome him in.
The attendant Zhang Zhen said: "The boss is back."
The servant Chen Yu supported Tang Yichen and said, "It's too late tonight. You drank a lot of wine and reek of alcohol. You should go see the boss tomorrow!"
Tang Yichen raised his arm and sniffed, then frowned: "I want to take a bath with incense."
Zhang Zhen and Chen Yu looked at each other and received Tang Yichen's meaning.
The young master likes cleanliness, so it's not strange to take a bath, but he still needs to burn incense so late at night, which means he intends to go to Qin Dongjia to chat. But seeing that he can't even walk steadily, if he goes to Qin Dongjia at this time, he doesn't know if he can straighten his tongue or if he will be blamed by Qin Dongjia.
Anyway, the Qin family was reluctant to blame their elder brother, but the servants had to be careful. The Qin family was usually easy to talk to, but when they got angry, they were still very scary.
Qin Huiyin calculated the revenue for this month. The snack shop and the food city were the biggest revenue. The military factory had just been established and had not yet earned back its costs. She planned to invite the carpenter shop and other small businesses to dinner before going to the capital, and then give them her shares directly. In the future, she would not charge for the carpenter shop and the restaurant run by Song Tieniu and others.
In addition to her own business account book, there is also Song Ruize's account book. Song Ruize's businesses are mostly escort agencies and snack shops, and his share of the dividends was handed over to her. As for other income, she doesn't need to know, and she won't ask. She only knows that Song Ruize's business must be more than hers, and there are some that he doesn't want her to know.
"Yinyin, are you asleep?" Tang Yichen's voice came from outside.
Qin Huiyin was surprised and stood up to open the door: "Brother."
"You really haven't rested yet." Tang Yichen walked in. "Miss Xia had an accident. You have to accompany her during the day, and you have to look at those piled up account books at night. You must be exhausted, right?"
"No one is pushing me, so I can read as much as I can. If I can't read it all, I have Sister Luwu to help me. Unlike my elder brother, no one can help you with your affairs. You have to work hard on your own." Qin Huiyin leaned over and sniffed, "You drank a lot, right? Although the incense smells good, it's too strong, which is different from your usual style. You are trying to cover up the smell of alcohol on your body."
"I can't hide anything from you." Tang Yichen said, picking up the cloak beside him and putting it on her. "It's very cold at night, and you can't take care of anything else just to look at the account book."
"Brother, do you think there is a good chance of staying in the capital as an official this time?" Qin Huiyin put down the account book, came to the tea set, and started to make tea.
Tang Yichen wanted to talk to her, so he had to put the account book aside for the time being. They hadn't talked alone for a long time, and today, while he was still sober and she was at home, it was a good time to chat.
She asked about what happened during the expedition.
Tang Yichen told her everything he had experienced during these days. Whenever he talked about the bad things, he would just brush them aside. But when he talked about the interesting things, he would always speak with great enthusiasm.
The happy laughter of the brother and sister came from the room.
Tang Yichen looked at the girl who looked even more bright and dazzling under the candlelight. His heart moved and an unknown seed was planted in his heart.
"The runner-up is Brother Meng Shushen." Tang Yichen said, "We went to the capital together, and rented a house together after arriving in the capital."
"Where's Brother Wei Feng? How is he?"
Tang Yichen frowned: "After returning to Beijing, he disappeared the next day. He did not participate in the imperial examination."
"Have you asked?"
"I have asked around, but there are many wealthy and powerful people with the surname Xue in the capital, but there is no young man named Xue Weifeng." Tang Yichen said, "Maybe there is some hidden secret that is not convenient for us to know."
Qin Huiyin handed him the tea: "Drink some tea to sober you up. Don't drink like this anymore. But you drank a lot in the capital, didn't you? You would fall to the ground after a few drinks before, but now you have to use incense to cover up the smell of alcohol. It's obvious that you drank a lot."
Tang Yichen drank tea and listened to Qin Huiyin's mumbling.
He felt at ease when Qin Huiyin talked to him like this. This kind of peace of mind was something he had never felt even after he passed the imperial examination and became the top scholar.
"Yinyin, do you want to go to the capital with your brother?" Tang Yichen held the back of her hand and looked at her expectantly.
Qin Huiyin smiled helplessly: "I had planned to do so, but you can see that we have so many businesses. We are going to settle down in the capital this time, so we have to take care of the businesses here. I have to find someone I can trust to be my eyes and make arrangements here. Besides, your official position has not been decided yet. Although the top scholar almost stays in the capital, if this matter is not settled, there may be changes. Therefore, I think it is not urgent and go to the capital slowly."
"You make sense." Tang Yichen was disappointed.
"Brother, it will be quick, just go do your thing first."
"Yinyin, let's go to the night market tomorrow! I was so busy studying before that I didn't accompany you to the night market. I went to the capital this time, and I don't know when I will be back next time. Let's go for a good stroll before we leave."
"There will be a lantern festival tomorrow. Big brother, you might as well go to the night market and take a look. Maybe you can find your destined person." Qin Huiyin looked at him mischievously.
"You!" Tang Yichen tapped her forehead. "I won't bother you anymore. Go to bed early." After Tang Yichen left, Qin Huiyin continued to look at the account book.
The next day, she went to Xia Garden to find Xia Ruwan first.
Before she entered, she saw Li Congxiao talking to his men under a tree, and her ears vaguely heard their conversation.
"Dead? All dead?" Li Congxiao said coldly, "Even if they are dead, we can always find clues and follow them to find the person behind the scenes, right?"
"Those people were killed and burned to ashes by a fire. When we arrived, only a pile of ashes was left." The subordinate said, "I am incompetent."
"Forget it, let's leave it at that for now." Li Congxiao said, "Is there anything going on in the store recently?"
The subordinate said, "The eldest lady has the support of the Fang family, and some of the elders in the clan have begun to turn to the eldest lady. The eldest lady promised them many benefits, and those fence grass began to obey the eldest lady's orders. Young Master, let's leave the Xia family as soon as possible and return to the Li family to take charge of the overall situation!"
"I understand." Li Congxiao looked in the direction of Xia Ruwan.
Seeing that they stopped talking, Qin Huiyin walked over at a normal pace.
Li Congxiao turned around when he heard footsteps and saw Qin Huiyin. He smiled and said, "Boss Qin, when can we cooperate with each other? I am very interested in your military factory."
"Okay!" Qin Huiyin replied with a smile.
Li Congxiao was stunned for a moment, then looked at her in surprise: "You actually agreed?"
