Chapter 28 You Sing, I Come On
After hearing what Ye Xiaotian said, everyone was silent, and someone even hid the IOU in his hand.
The little boy served Ye Xiaotian a cup of tea. Ye Xiaotian picked up the teacup and took a sip, and said to the merchants: "Why don't you talk? Don't worry, Ye Xiaotian is a reasonable person, how could he rely on your accounts?"
Ye Xiaotian put down the teacup, tapped his fingers on the table, glanced at everyone coldly, and said, "But there is a saying that I have to say. Since I am doing business in partnership, I will make a profit and lose money. My brother is generous. With a big stroke, I will write you an IOU based on the number of shares you have invested. Isn't that appropriate?"
A merchant wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and owed his butt and said, "Yes! It's not suitable!"
Ye Xiaotian smiled coldly and said, "Xiao An's account is a mess. If you ask me to check, I have no place to check it. However, I believe you will not cheat me. Let's do it. You can count for yourself and calculate when you want to withdraw your shares. According to the losses at that time, how much is your share worth!"
Ye Xiaotian took out a large piece of paper, slapped it on the table, and said, "Everyone, estimate it yourself and write it down, I will compensate you for your brother!"
The merchants looked at each other, and none of them dared to stand up. Of course, they were unwilling to give up with such a large sum of money. However, although Ye Xiaotian was the chief of Woniu Mountain, he was not the main manager of Tongren Mansion. After all, he was a member of the chieftain class. Whether it would be better to get back the money and offend such a big man, they had to consider whether it would be better to lose.
Some of them were slightly owing their butts and were eager to try, but they always wanted to stand up first, so that they would feel at ease when they stood up again, but the problem was that no one wanted to be the one who stood up.
Ye Xiaotian narrowed his eyes slightly and said coldly: "Don't have to worry about it. Write down the amount you should actually pay for you, and then write down your name, address, and origin clearly."
The senior of the mall recommended by everyone was a bit like the president of the Chamber of Commerce in the place of everyone. He plucked up the courage to ask: "Sir, what is the use of us to write our name, address, and hometown?"
Ye Xiaotian yawned lazily and raised his eyebrows slightly: "I just fought a battle with Shi Qianyang's family recently, and it won a great victory! I want to reward the three armies, five taels of silver per head. I have to pay a few thousand taels of silver at this moment. I can't afford that much money to you for the time being. Write down your details and wait until I have enough money. I can deliver it to you!"
When the merchants heard this, they were sweating coldly and their calves were swelling. After a while, one of them suddenly stood up and bowed to Ye Xiaotian and said, "Actually, I don't invest much money, so I'm doing business. I should have made a profit and a loss. Now I'll accept the compensation. Please take back this IOU."
He respectfully put the IOU on the table and ran away like a burning butt. When he saw someone taking the lead, he immediately had the second and third ones. The merchants stood up one after another and rushed to hand the IOU on the table.
Ye Xiaotian's face darkened and said, "What do you mean? This little money is not in my eyes. Ye's reputation is much more valuable than this little money! You are unwilling to collect accounts today, and you go out to talk nonsense to ruin my reputation. Wouldn't Ye be worth the money?"
"No, no, no! How could that happen? We voluntarily gave up. Since we are doing business together, we should share the blessings and share the difficulties! You are too careful. If I say something bad outside, let the adults deal with it!"
“Yes, yes!”
The merchants handed over the IOU, and then swear to promise Ye Xiaotian that they would never talk nonsense outside. Ye Xiaotian sighed and said, "Forget it, I will say that I know your kindness with my brother."
When the merchants heard this, they felt like they were amnesty. They hurriedly thanked them and rushed out. Because they snatched them out at the same time, the two merchants' shoulders hit the door frame heavily, causing the dust on the roof to fall down.
When they all showed up, Ye Xiaotian, who was sitting upright, suddenly stood up and laughed loudly.
"Smack!"
Yan Shiwei clapped his hands and walked in from outside, raised his thumbs up and praised him: "Brother Xiao An, dressed like him! That majestic and domineering look, amazing!"
Ye Xiaoan smiled proudly. Yan Shiwei said again: "By the way, I'm about to say that I know that your second brother just returned to Tongren."
Ye Xiaoan's face changed and he said in a dismay: "My brother is back?"
Yan Shiwei glanced at him and said, "Why, are you afraid he will know?"
Ye Xiaoan smiled twice, rubbed his hands and said, "Brother Yan, I want to borrow some money from you."
Yan Shiwei said generously: "Brothers, what do you want to borrow or not? How much do you want?"
Ye Xiaoan said whisperingly: "Three...three hundred taels!"
Yan Shiwei said: "No problem! But why are you borrowing money?"
Ye Xiaoan awkwardly hooked him up with a good young woman, but her husband caught him and told him to take three hundred taels of silver to calm the matter down.
Yan Shiwei laughed and said, "Three hundred taels, you have bought a concubine like flowers and jade. This romantic scene is a bit more precious. I think it's just a show of his wife, why both of them have to give her money? You can pretend to be your second brother again, and I will lend you these two bodyguards. How good is it to scare them?"
Ye Xiaoan shook his head repeatedly: "No! No! Those merchants have families and businesses. If you scare him, he will be timid. He doesn't have to risk taking his life for a sum of money. But this family is different. I think that man is also like a scoundrel, but he has nothing, a life of a rotten life, and is willing to fight for his life. Such a scoundrel can't offend him."
Yan Shiwei stared at him for a while and thought to himself: "This guy is not stupid yet. I know who can threaten with power and who wants to move with profit!"
Seeing his expression, Ye Xiaoan couldn't help but feel nervous: "Brother Yan, what's wrong?"
Yan Shiwei smiled slightly and said, "It's nothing, but three hundred taels of silver? This is easy to deal with!"

As soon as the Tian brothers and sisters returned to Guiyang, they launched a vigorous propaganda offensive. Tian Binfei took advantage of various occasions and even kept talking about how dangerous the girl encountered in Zhanjiabao and how crazy Zhan Boxiong was, as if she had no idea that the sentence "There is no way to be expressed in the family scandal."
Tian Miaowen has never liked to gather with the noble women in Shuixi. She had any poetry meetings, handkerchief meetings, and a group of belles gathered together. She was either gossiping the Li girl or criticizing the wife of the Wang family. In her opinion, this was a very vulgar behavior.
However, this time she also participated in these activities frequently, seizing the opportunity to talk about the dangers she encountered. She felt very unwilling to say something in her words. At first, although the women were comforting her face, they were actually secretly happy.
"Hmph! I asked you to pretend to be a noble person! The Tian family is the four kings. Is it amazing? Your family has long been worse than before, so why are you still posing in front of us!"
But when the pleasure passed, the sense of justice surged. Although Tian Miaowen was a little arrogant and occasionally attended the gatherings of these noble ladies and daughters. She was also cold and cold and disliked to pay attention to others, no matter what, they were always the same class.
Tian Miaowen was treated like this, and they shared the same hatred for the enemy. Once these women became sympathetic, they regarded themselves as protectors. Tian Miaowen would act as an attitude. She just looked down on their vulgarity and boredom. At this time, she was willing to make use of it and let go of her attitude, which made her even more sympathetic.
The injustice encountered by the Tian family quickly spread in Guiyang, the political center of Guizhou. People confirmed one thing: the Tian family was really left with an empty airs. They were bullied by a second-rate toast like this. The only thing they could do was to condemn and condemn them constantly.
The weak are always sympathetic. The strong are now becoming weak, which makes people feel a tragic feeling of "the end of heroes". The Tian family used to care about face the most, and it was also a capital for a long time to save face. Now they don't care about face anymore, which has become a powerful "momentum!"
Mr. An knew, and Mr. An’s parents also knew. Soon, at a family dinner, Mr. An’s parents, uncles and aunts raised this matter to Mr. An: “The Tian family is as famous as the An family. Now the Tian family has suffered such a great humiliation, but they cannot avenge their shame. Should our An family do something?”
Mr. An pondered for a while, looked at the children in the hall, and asked with a chuckling question: "So what do you think our An family should do? Send troops to the Tian family and attack the Zhan family?"
Mr. An's father hesitated and replied: "It is certainly unnecessary to send troops...but as long as you keep saying that the Zhan family will apologize to the Tian family, I believe that Zhan Boxiong dares not disobey."
Mr. An waved his hand and said, "That's so boring!"
The children in the house looked at each other full of people. What does it mean to be boring? Then what should it be interesting? They are all big names who change their colors when they stomp their feet outside, but in front of Mr. An, they are sons, grandsons, and great-grandsons, so they dare not ask.
Mr. An smiled again: "Let's not worry about the matter between children."
Everyone looked at each other again, little kid... Yes, Zhan Boxiong is the junior of Mr. An, and Tian Miaowen is even more of Mr. An, but... is this a grudge between children?
When the storm was in turmoil, Yang Yinglong also quietly arrived in Guiyang. Although the Shuixi nobles, the Shuidong nobles and even the nobles in other regions had their own territories, they had to walk to Guiyang if they had anything to do or not, because this was where the powerful people gathered in various places, and all kinds of information, exchanges, transactions, and negotiations of various interests were mostly carried out here.
This time he arrived in Guiyang, there was another important reason. The new Guizhou Governor Ye Mengxiong was about to take office. At the beginning of the year, the court issued an order to transfer Ye Mengxiong to Guizhou as governor, but he was unable to escape in Liaodong for a while, and it was not until this time that news of his appointment came.
Ye Mengxiong was obviously a civil servant, but he had always been doing military generals. He destroyed the accumulated bandits, killed giant thieves, put down pirates, and fought against Liaodong. How could he be treated casually?
Even though Yang Yinglong had always been above his eyes, he was unwilling to let such a person treat him as a thorn in his eyes as soon as he arrived in Guizhou. So, he lowered his posture and rushed to Guiyang in person to wait for the governor.
Even such a rebellious person as Yang Yinglong is like this, other powerful people can imagine that for a while, Guiyang Prefecture is in chaos, and dragons and snakes are mixed, and the affairs of the Tian family have become the biggest topic of conversation for these extremely bored powerful people who have been waiting for Ye Mengxiong to take office and are bored.
As soon as Yang Yinglong arrived in Guiyang, he immediately heard about the matter between the Tian family and the Zhan family. Yang Yinglong couldn't help laughing: "This Zhan Boxiong is such a good helper! I want him to take the blame and take the responsibility. Without me, he took the initiative to do it!"
