No wish to stay at Shaolin Temple

The previous section said that someone came to Wuxiang's residence to look for him and wanted to take him away, but Wuxiang remained unmoved and stayed firmly in the Shaolin Temple.

On the other side, after Wangyou Tavern Wu Yuxia asked for help, shopkeeper Zhang decided to let Wu Yuxia stay in the tavern first and wait for Zhang Xia and others to come back before making plans.

Now that Wu Xiang had settled down, Zhang Xia and the four of them decided to set off back to Kyoto.

They left as soon as they came, got on the carriage, and the four of them embarked on the return journey. The four of them talked and laughed along the way, feeling much more comfortable than the tense atmosphere when they got up. From sunrise to sunset, sunset to sunrise,

After repeating it twice, the four of them returned to Kyoto City in a carriage.

As soon as Zhang Xia returned to Kyoto City, Wangyou Tavern immediately received the news, and shopkeeper Zhang immediately went to Zhang's house. When Zhang Xia heard that shopkeeper Zhang had arrived, he immediately went out to greet him. When he saw shopkeeper Zhang, whom he had not seen for a long time, Zhang Xia said: "

Long time no see, I’m thinking about you, what’s up with the shopkeeper?”

Shopkeeper Zhang explained what happened to Wu Yuxia. Zhang Xia was very angry and immediately went to the Wu Mansion with shopkeeper Zhang. The three Sardines also followed.

Wu Mansion is located in the middle of South Street, with a restaurant on the left and a grocery store on the right. It was getting late at the moment, so Zhang Xi went up and knocked on the door three times. Someone inside asked who it was, and Zhang Xi loudly said:

"I'm here to settle a score with you!"

The door opened, and two rows of servants filed out, as if they had been waiting for this day for a long time. Zhang Xia said sharply: "Who is Wu Yuxia's uncle? Get out of here!"

After a while, a wretched-looking man came out and said, "I am Zhang Shiyao, Wu Yuxia's uncle! What does this friend do for you?"

Zhang Xia said: "You occupied Wu Yuxia's family property and killed her parents. What crime should you be guilty of?"

Zhang Shiyao laughed and said: "Where is that dead girl Wu Yuxia? How could she talk like this? I did not seek to seize her family property. It was my brother-in-law who personally entrusted the family business to me and asked me to manage it with all my heart so that I can hand it over to him later.

Wu Yuxia’s. If you don’t believe me, ask her to confront you!”

At this time Wu Yuxia stood up and said: "Stop being so hypocritical. How much money you have deprived my family of over the years, please be honest and hand it over. If this continues, the Wu Mansion will be an empty shell when I grow up."

Zhang Shiyao said: "I run this family with all my heart, so of course I have to think about myself. Is there anything wrong with this?"

Shopkeeper Zhang spoke: "That being the case, why don't we go into the house and check the accounts? It's useless to just talk in vain, right?"

Zhang Shiyao felt guilty and wanted to prevent them from entering the house, but Zhang Xia glared at him, and he suddenly softened and immediately agreed to check the accounts.

Shopkeeper Zhang took over the task of checking the accounts. He checked all day and night, and finally found out at noon on the third day. He asked Zhang Shiyao and the others to go to the lobby together and confront him face to face.

The two sides confronted each other for more than two hours, and finally it became clear that Zhang Shiyao had run the Wu Mansion for three years and pocketed a total of 3,000 taels of silver and some jewelry. Now the Wu Mansion has an annual income of 13,000 taels and an expenditure of 10,000 taels.

There are still 18,000 taels left in the warehouse of the house. It seems that Zhang Shiyao is running the business well, and he really did not take away her family property as Wu Yuxia said.

Seeing that she could no longer tell the lie, Wu Yuxia cried and told everything. It turned out that her uncle was very strict with her after Wu Yuxia's parents died, not allowing her to misuse money and controlling her expenses. She went to see Wangyou in anger.

Tavern. Zhang Xia and others were present to help Wu Yuxia and her uncle get back together. The uncle and nephew hugged each other and cried bitterly, and they reconciled as before. The matter has been resolved well, and shopkeeper Zhang and the others went home to rest. It’s a new day.

Will come again.
