When the two heard the sound, they stood up and looked at the old housekeeper with their eyes.
The old housekeeper was old. He was out of breath after running a few steps, his face turned red, and he was hunched over and breathing heavily.
Xie Jian and Xie Yu looked at the old housekeeper and said solemnly: "You said the money bank was stolen?"
"You'd better make it clear to me today!"
The old housekeeper finally regained his composure, with a sad look on his face: "Today, I was going to put in the banknotes for the past few days, but... I didn't expect that the banknotes in the bank were stolen."
"The locks in the warehouse are all good, and the patrolling guards didn't find anything, but the money inside just disappeared!"
"It's like disappearing out of thin air!"
As the old butler spoke, he held his chest. Every transaction in it was put in by his hands. Now that it was gone, it was as if his own money had been stolen. His heart ached with pain.
Xie Jian and Xie Yu looked at each other and had a bad guess in their minds. If this was really the case, then it would be the Xie family who were the ones making the joke.
"Take us to see it."
Xie Jian's voice fell, and the old housekeeper responded quickly: "Hey, the two young masters are coming with the old slave."
The old housekeeper took the two people to the money bank. Although it was a money bank, it could also be called the Treasure Pavilion.
There are many rare treasures placed inside.
The money that the Xie family collects from the shop or other places every day will be collected in this warehouse every few days, and will be sent to the Xie family's old house when it is full.
The old housekeeper tremblingly took out the key and opened the door. Everything inside was still there.
The old butler pointed to the money box on one side: "The silver notes in it are missing by as much as one million taels."
"There is also a lot missing from the boxes containing gold and silver."
After the old housekeeper finished speaking, he took a deep breath, fearing that he could not bear it and fainted.
Xie Jian was basically convinced when he saw this. He clenched his fist tightly and slammed it on the box on one side: "Damn Zhou Jingxuan, this move is so good!"
"No wonder he didn't react when we raised the price!"
The more Xie Jian thinks about it, the angrier she becomes. Can she react? This means using his Xie family's money to buy Xie family's grain!
Zhou Jingxuan, on the other hand, has nothing to lose!
He didn't pay a penny and he was a good person! How can he be so good!
They were still complacent before, thinking that the so-called regent was nothing more than this. Even if they raised the price arbitrarily, he would have to pay for it obediently.
Who would have thought that what Zhou Jingxuan paid for was not his own money at all.
Xie Yu's face was ashen. The Xie family had lived in Heyuan Pass for so many years, and this was the first time they had suffered such a loss.
It is not an exaggeration to say that the Xie family lives in Heyuan Pass, but it is not an exaggeration to say that the weather in Heyuan Pass is very good. However, he has been hunting eagles all day long, and now he was pecked by an eagle, which made him extremely angry.
He grabbed the accessories around his waist and walked out with a dark face. Xie Jian grabbed Xie Yu's arm and said, "Third brother, what are you going to do!"
Xie Yu's face was dark and angry: "What are you doing? I'm going to take that Zhou Jingxuan's life today!"
"The autumn wind has hit our Xie family. Today I want to let him know that no matter how noble he is, he has to bow to my Xie family when he comes to Heyuan Pass!"
Xie Yu is three years younger than Xie Jian. Ever since Xie Yu became sensible, the Xie family has gained a certain status in Heyuan Pass.
The Xie family was completely fearless in Heyuan Pass. To put it bluntly, even the copper coins falling from the sky had to be named Xie.
In Xie Yu's eyes, Zhou Jingxuan didn't take his Xie family seriously, so how could he endure it.
No matter what kind of war god he is, no matter what kind of regent he is, he must follow the rules of his Xie family in Heyuan Pass.
Xie Yu had already developed a temperament that didn't know the heights of heaven and earth.
In fact, it’s not Xie Yu’s fault. All the officials in Heyuan Pass have always been governed by the Xie family. Even those from the capital are killed without asking.
The sky is high and the emperor is far away, and he dare not talk about other places, but in this Heyuan Pass, every inch of soil must be marked with the mark of the Xie family.
For a long time, Xie Yu has become accustomed to it.
I just thought it didn't matter if Zhou Jingxuan was the regent.
Xie Jian is different from Xie Yu. He and his father traveled to many places before coming to Heyuan Pass.
He naturally knew that although the Xie family was powerful in Jiangbei and Heyuan Pass, it would be nothing if they left this place.
Naturally, Pei Xuan doesn't care, just kill him. Pei Xuan has no background and is just a scholar.
Just give him a random name after he dies.
So what if someone came to Heyuan Pass to investigate his matter? He didn't believe there were people who would refuse money and rights for a dead man.
But it would be completely different if the person who died was Zhou Jingxuan. He represented the royal family. If they slapped the royal family in the face at will, there would be a risk of annihilation of the clan.
Therefore, he must not confront Zhou Jingxuan unless it was absolutely necessary.
He looked at his angry brother and said in a deep voice: "Nonsense, do you think he is Pei Xuan? You can do whatever you want?"
"When your life is lost, you won't even know why!"
After hearing Xie Jian's words, half of the anger in Xie Yu's heart disappeared, but he still felt uncomfortable. He said in a calm voice: "Second brother, what should we do now?"
"We can't let him, Zhou Jingxuan, sit on top of our Xie family and shit!"
"I have never been so frustrated in my life!"
Xie Jian sneered: "Third brother, don't worry, if Zhou Jingxuan wants to bully our Xie family like this, we have to see if he has the ability!"
He turned to the old housekeeper and said, "Give me the order and all the food will continue to rise!"
"Just say that my Xie family was robbed and couldn't make ends meet, so I had no choice but to raise the price of food!"
Originally, when they raised the price of food, there were a lot of complaints in the city.
Now that the disaster is serious, only the Xie family has enough surplus food.
Those who live a better life can barely survive by buying from Xie's Grain Store, but with prices rising again and again, many people can't afford it.
The old housekeeper raised his head and glanced at Xie Jian: "Second Young Master, if the price of this food increases again, it will be sky-high."
"This will cause these people in Heyuan Pass to be dissatisfied with us."
Although these people do not threaten the Xie family, there are times when ants can overthrow elephants. This is why most emperors need the support of the people.
He hesitated a little, fearing that the Xie family would not be able to stay in Heyuan Pass any longer.
But Xie Jian chuckled softly: "What I want is the resentment of the people in Heyuan Pass."
"Tell me, if they knew that the price was raised because Zhou Jingxuan stole the Xie family's money and the Xie family couldn't make ends meet, who would they hate?"
"Let's just give these untouchables some sweetness, and they will blame it all on Zhou Jingxuan."
A proud smile appeared on Xie Jian's face: "Let's see how he ends up then!"
