MTL - Self-cultivation of Male Supporting Role-Chapter 328 make up for the loss
In the Zong family at this time, Duan Shizheng and Zong Zhijian were talking privately: "We are afraid that Ding Shi will play tricks and raise her with good intentions, isn't it just the dozen good things in the warehouse in her hand? Otherwise, who would be willing to serve such an eccentric, ruthless woman who doesn't care about a little bit of mother and child affection?
But I recently made people stare over there, saying that Mr. Ding has been acting strangely recently. He often yelled at Shi Yan at the yard, and sometimes there were only a few words between the lines, as if it had something to do with the warehouse.
I asked people to pay close attention to the warehouse, but I always felt uneasy! "
Zong Chijian was also overwhelmed by the recent events and was in a irritable mood. The good reputation he had accumulated over the past few years was almost ruined by Shi Yan's sudden move. When it comes to socializing, the way people look at him is not always the case.
He knew in his heart that everyone was afraid of the power and position of the Broken Sword Villa, but he no longer had much reverence for him.
It is said that it is easy to change from frugality to luxury, and it is difficult to change from luxury to frugality. After enjoying the beautiful days that everyone is looking for, and returning to the time when no one cares, I feel uneasy.
So Zong Chijian hasn't gone out for a long time. He stayed in the village all day, trying to save his reputation, trying to kill Shi Yan, but there was no suitable way for a while, and his actions lost the standard of the past. , the whole person became irritable.
Hearing Duan's words, he frowned and said impatiently: "It's not up to her, no matter what she does in secret, the things in the storeroom must not be less. I had agreed to wait for those things before she died. Evenly divided between Shi Yan and Shi Yin, now she has completely offended Shi Yan, and she can only rely on our family Shi Yin to support her in the future.
That is all Shiyin's things, and no one can move it! "
Speaking of Zong Chijian, he was still a little dissatisfied: "It's all the family wealth that the second brother has worked so hard to accumulate, and I have nothing to say to leave it directly to my son Shi Yan, and I don't know what he thinks. It is really hard to understand that the industry is left to an outsider to keep the Ding family!"
Regarding this point, Mrs. Duan can understand it. It probably means that eggs cannot be put in one basket. If it is known that he left a large amount of gold and silver for Shi Yan, it is estimated that the people who are eyeing Shi Yan would have already started. Well, it won't be so peaceful in the past few years.
In this way, Mr. Duan suddenly thought of another possibility: "Master, do you think Mrs. Ding will use the items in the warehouse in exchange for a chance to reunite with Shi Yan?"
Zong Chijian was stunned for a moment, then hesitated: "People like the Ding family seem to be weak and harmless on the surface, but secretly have a strong desire to control.
At that time, she tried to control the second brother and let the second brother obey her, and was locked in the backyard by the second brother for several years. Seeing the death of her second brother, her good day has come. She tried to control Shi Yan again. At first, her actions were very successful, but unfortunately, now Shi Yan doesn't listen to her.
In addition to the rage, it can be said that it is to achieve the goal regardless of means, but it is not impossible. "
With this conjecture, the husband and wife could not sit still. The main reason why the two of them were able to remain so calm in the face of the rumors outside was that the rumors outside could only damage the interests of Zhejian Villa, but Zhejian The villa has something in Ding Wan's hands, and they have enough confidence. As long as they want, they can regroup and return to the arena at any time.
But what if the treasure is gone?
Neither of them dared to think of this possibility, Duan Shi immediately got up and said, "The next person will definitely not tell the truth if you ask Ding Wan, sir, I'd better go there in person!"
Zong Chijian got up and tidied up his clothes randomly: "No, I'll go with you, I can't rest assured if I don't see the things in the warehouse still lying there with my own eyes!"
Duan Shi did not refuse: "If you count it carefully, the day is coming, and it's not bad for three or five days. I think my cousin will understand us!"
To say that the reason why the couple are so convinced that they can use the money so that Fold Sword Villa can make a comeback at any time is because there is a fixed day every year, Ding Wan will let them go into the warehouse to have a look in person, so that both parties can rest assured. Let Zong Chijian and his wife know that she did not misappropriate it privately.
In the past, I felt that Ding Wan lived in such a remote yard, and everyone didn't need to see each other every day. It was very comfortable to send someone to inquire about the other party's news. It took too much time and it was frustrating.
Mrs. Duan sighed and said, "I don't know why, when I woke up this morning, my eyelids were twitching, and I always had a bad premonition."
Zong Chijian doesn't like to hear these words. He's been unlucky enough recently. He doesn't want to hear such depressing words at all.
Even though they said that, the pace at their feet still sped up a lot in the end. The passers-by looked at them from a distance, and the couple seemed to be trotting all the way, which made people have a bad feeling in their hearts.
But when the couple arrived at Ding Wan's yard, Aunt Zhu came forward to receive them, and only said, "My young lady has been ill since the day my wife left, and she has been having a lot of soup, she can't get out of bed, and she can't receive the two in person. Please forgive me both of you!"
Of course the two didn't believe it, not to mention that Ding Wan was pretending to be sick, even if she was really sick and was dying, she had to hand over the key to the warehouse before she could swallow it!
Aunt Zhu was also very empty in her heart. She heard from the servants that the two had come together, so she had a bad guess. She and Ding Wan thought of the stolen warehouse at the same time. For a while, the young lady could only think of pretending to be sick. This is the reason to shirk, and it is up to her to deal with these two couples.
Aunt Zhu is still very doubtful in her heart.
For some unknown reason, the young lady kept cursing the young master in front of her in private, saying that the warehouse must be evacuated by the young master, and that she would kill her as a mother!
But she couldn't understand what the lady said anyway.
It's just the same, the young master is surrounded by people from the demon sect, so many people from the sect go in and out of the warehouse, it is impossible not to make a noise, Zhu Gu told the young lady another guess in her heart: "Miss, take care of your mother. Look, the people who can silently move more than a dozen warehouses in Zhejian Villa can only be guarded by the people of Zhejian Villa!
To say that the young master brought people from the Demon Cult to steal, it would be better to say that the owner and his wife instigated people to secretly take it for themselves. "
But for some unknown reason, the young lady insisted that it was the young master who did this. Aunt Zhu was even more convinced that her young lady was stunned. Since the last time she promised the owner and her husband to frame the little young master, her own young lady has already let her She felt too unfamiliar.
After Zhu Gu was released, she sent letters to the young master Shi Yan and the young lady's family, Feng Xuecheng, hoping that someone could persuade the current young lady, otherwise, things would go wrong sooner or later.
After thinking a lot in my heart, I couldn't see the slightest on the face, and calmly dealt with Zong Chijian and his wife.
And Ding Wan, who was in the room, faintly heard the high and low conversations of several people, mixed with a few dissatisfied questions from Duan Shi. Lying weakly on the bed, his face was pale, and he looked a little sick.
It's a shame that such a thing has happened, and there is no one around who can come up with ideas to help him. The more he listens, the more angry he gets, the more dizzy his ears are, especially when he hears the quarrel outside gradually approaching his room, Duan's voice seems to be separated. Looking at a window: "When did my cousin and my cousin get separated like this?
You and I are both cousins and sisters-in-law. We are the closest to each other in the world, but we are sick, so why avoid me? Let me see it with my own eyes before I can feel relieved. Besides, as my cousin, I have something very important to discuss with you! "
Every word implies that the other party may already know about the theft of the warehouse, and they came to her today to ask for an explanation.
This is called Ding Wanqi almost vomiting blood.
After finally calming down, she suddenly heard an uproar down the corridor, the sound of Duan's knife stabbing her heart suddenly stopped, and before she was left wondering for too long, she heard the furious voice of the good cousin-in-law: "Presumptuous. !"
Then a maid hurried into her room, followed by Gu Gu, sent everyone out, looked serious, and whispered to her, "Just now I came to report, saying that the young master brought people from the Demon Sect to come in! At the moment, I am calling out at the gate, waiting for the village owner to go out to fight!"
Ding Wan immediately grabbed Zhugu's old hand and said, "Mommy! He's here to take revenge on my mother-in-law! What kind of evil did I have? If I knew that he would abuse me like this today, You should have been strangled to death when you were born!"
He couldn't help but vomit blood.
Aunt Zhu jumped and wanted to help.
As a result, several able-bodied maids rushed in from the outside, facing the fierce, without saying a word, they started to push Ding Wan out, not even a single shirt or a pair of shoes were allowed to wear, and they just walked away.
Ding Wan struggled and was in a state of embarrassment: "You are presumptuous, do you know what you are doing? When I look back, I will tell my cousin that I will definitely sell your whole family to that kiln as slaves and maids!"
Aunt Zhu sees it more clearly. There is no husband and wife to speak here, and no one dares to touch a finger of her own lady. She knows why these people come, so she follows up with good words: "A few of you have It's easy to say, let my lady put on clothes, shoes and socks first, so as not to go out and lose the face of the villa.
What should I say, my lady and my wife are cousins with broken bones and tendons. They are annoyed today, and they will be fine tomorrow, which is what they should be. There is no certainty for being annoyed for a while, we outsiders Just don't get involved with their little sisters, isn't that the reason? "
The maids were not as decisive as they had been when they heard it, although the owner and his wife were very angry and wished they could chop up Ding to feed the dog on the spot.
But Gu Zhu was right, the immortals fought and others suffered.
The maids here slowed down, but Ding Wan regained his senses and asked Zhu Gu to quickly wait for him to dress up, without the need for others to help him, and hurriedly walked out of the village: "I want to ask myself, after so many years, , I have something wrong with him, let him treat me like this, I can't wait to get rid of it and then quickly, I have lost my conscience! It's a rotten thing!"
At the gate of Zhejian Villa at this time, because Shi Yan's sword went down, all the disciples near the villa gathered here, and after a while, a hundred or two hundred people surrounded Shi Yan and the others.
Shi Yan's appearance was so terrifying that even Zong Shixiang, who came with him, was regarded as an accomplice and dared not let him go. A person's face can be changed, and of course identity certificates can also be faked.
Who in the arena doesn't know that their eldest lady ran away from home? In case this is a counterfeit, a spy sent by the enemy, won't it be them who will eat and hang?
Shi Yan found a place to sit quietly and watch Zong Shixiang's performance.
The fifth prince and Hang Yunsan squatted beside Shi Yan on the left and the right. The three of them couldn't say anything about the quarrel between Zong Shixiang and the guards of Zhejian Villa.
Hang Yunsan hugged Xiao Hung and rubbed a couple of hands, and said faintly, "Although I should be a little nervous in the face of so many people, **** it, I just can't get nervous."
The fifth prince had to admit that the scene in front of him had a big impact on him. Although he felt that this girl was too out of touch before, he didn't expect her to be so unreliable, so he felt it. Fading, a thought blurted out: "She doesn't look very smart."
Shi Yan squinted at him: "Wouldn't it be good to marry a little wife who is not too smart?"
The fifth prince was startled, his face was not obvious, and he looked at Shi Yan with a look of "I don't understand what you are talking about".
Shi Yan sneered, but didn't reveal it.
On the other hand, Hang Yunsan didn't think of this step yet, so he just tutted his tongue in amazement: "It turns out that you are good, such a woman does look a bit beautiful, but I often hear people say that the mother's wisdom affects the child's IQ, you Aren't you worried that the child will follow his mother in the future?"
Hang Yunsan couldn't help but glanced at Zong Shixiang who was arguing with the guard not far away, and shuddered, he didn't dare to think that his child would look like this in the future, should he kill him? Or is it better to break his leg and keep him on the bed so that he can show less shame?
What the fifth prince wanted to say, Shi Yan suddenly said: "Here."
Having said that, his casual and lazy sitting posture didn't change at all, but Hang Yunsan, who kept his voice unnerved, instantly tightened his muscles, his eyes were sharp, and he put on a posture that could attack at any time.
The fifth prince quietly got up and took a few steps back, indicating that he and Shi Yan were not in the same group, but just an innocent passerby.
Shi Yan, who was sitting cross-legged, instantly entered the eyes of Zong Zhijian who was looking for the sound.
Came in a hurry, Zong Chijian had a lot of cares under his heart. After seeing Shi Yan, he still kept his smile like a spring breeze, as if nothing had happened before. : "Ayan, you seem to have lost a lot of weight after going out for a few months. Are you not used to eating outside?"
Shi Yan looked at him amusingly, changed to a comfortable position, placed the big iron sword on his knees, resting his chin in one hand, and replied lazily, "It's much better than eating food mixed with sand at your house. , it is much more comfortable than fighting for food with a dog."
Zong Zhijian choked, the corners of his mouth twitched, hehe smiled: "Ayan, you really like to joke, since you're home, why don't you just walk in the door? After a few months away from home, your mother often misses the tea and rice you want, and loses weight. There are many, the soup and medicine are not separated, so let's go and see her."
Seeing Zong holding the sword, Shi Yan asked him with great interest, "Don't you look at the girl you miss in your heart? You are still being put on your neck with a knife by your people, you really don't care at all. Did you find it? Sister Wu Shixiang was thinking of your uncle all the way.
I'm so close, I don't know each other, I feel really sad for Sister Shixiang. "
As he spoke, he glanced at Zong Shixiang, whose hands were tied, his mouth was stuffed with a strip of cloth, and a knife was placed around his neck to prevent him from escaping.
Zong Shixiang burst into tears in an instant, looking at him with the expression "Dad, I'm so sad, you broke my heart, I'll ignore you again".
The smile on Zong Zhijian's face finally stopped, and he looked at Shi Yan with a frosty expression.
He pretended not to see his daughter, because he didn't want his stupid daughter to be involved in such a deadly matter. Who would have guessed that this stupid daughter had been practicing on the rivers and lakes, and she seemed to be even more careless. She got angry at herself and felt that she didn't care about her anymore.
In the past, the girl's style, I only thought it was cute and cute, and couldn't help but hurt her a little more, but now I look at it, and I suddenly feel a bit of inexplicable disgust.
Shi Yan slowly got up from the ground, playing with the big iron sword in his hand: "Okay, you can just pretend, I've seen you for several years, uncle, you look like a hypocrite and honest person, to be honest, I'm a little sick to my stomach, today. I really don't want to feel wronged and keep looking with these eyes, that's fine."
Zong Zhijian stood outside the encirclement, his hands behind his back, his posture seemed to be casual, and the blue veins burst out on the back of his hands.
Shi Yan didn't talk nonsense, he directly took out the letter that Zhu Gu wrote to him, and threw it to Zong Chijian from a distance: "Everyone knows the old account between us, but this new account needs to be calculated carefully. of.
Before my father died, he left me a huge sum of money, which filled 18 warehouses, worth half the treasury. Although the key was in my mother's hand, it was clearly for me. The day I got married was when I took over that fortune.
But today, uncle, you first want to ruin my reputation, make me have nowhere to go, and then guard yourself against theft, and loot the inheritance that my father left me.
I didn't intend to settle accounts with you so quickly, but you are really deceiving people too much, so I have to go this way! "
As he spoke, he showed the big iron sword and said sternly: "Before I deal with you, I hope you will be more aware of the current affairs and return the money to me first!"
Zong Chijian read the letter that Zhu Gu wrote to Shi Yan. The letter didn't say anything special. It only vaguely mentioned Ding Wan's recent anomaly and her guesses, but that alone was enough to make Zong Chijian angry. .
He just suspected that Ding Wan gave all the money to Shi Yan to please his son.
On the other end, Shi Yan called at the door, saying that he was guarding himself against theft.
Where in the world is there such a coincidence? If it wasn't that Ding Wan and Shi Yan had long since colluded and were determined to harm him, no one would believe it.
Zong Zhijian's hand trembled, and he couldn't be seen, but his face was ashen, this was something he couldn't hide, and everyone saw it.
"It's all nonsense! Speaking of guarding and stealing, isn't it that your mother and son are close to the water tower? Besides, the key to the warehouse has always been in your mother's hands, and slandering people should also pay attention to the basic law!"
This does not require Shi Yan to go into action. As Hang Yunsan, who is determined to be the first dog-legged person to sit down with Shi Yan, on the premise that he basically understands the general situation, he can immediately charge for Shi Yan.
He immediately pointed at Zong Chijian's nose and said, "Why don't you find a decent reason for fooling people? No one in the arena knows that Ding's heart is not only vicious, but the tiger is poisonous and eats its children. The little woman worshipping Buddha in the small Buddha hall?
Said that a woman guarded and robbed herself? Just let go of her arms and let her do it. The gold and silver jewelry in the eighteen warehouses will be moved day and night without rest, so it will take decades to move it, right? "
Zong Chijian still wants to argue again. He doesn't need to see it with his own eyes. He has already determined that the treasure in the warehouse is indeed lost, but he is not sure who took it away.
Even if you are not sure, you should put this matter on the heads of Ding Shi and Shi Yan, and make sure that they cooperate with each other inside and outside, and guard the fact that they are stealing.
Under the premise that the treasure has been lost, Folding Sword Villa and his reputation cannot continue to deteriorate, and they have no way out!
Having said that, as long as he thinks of the treasures in the entire eighteen warehouses, Zong Chijian's heart is bleeding, and he is almost out of breath in pain!
Even Hang Yunsan and the fifth prince were shocked by the amount of the treasure, but Hang Yunsan had already guessed the whereabouts of the treasure and had a clearer understanding of Shi Yan's shamelessness. The fifth prince was shocked by the wealth of the Folding Sword Villa, and strengthened his previous plans.
At this time, Shi Yan helped Ding Wan out, and Ding Wan stood beside Zong Chijian with a sad face of being betrayed, and questioned Shi Yan, "Tell me, did you let someone steal the money?
I don't expect you to return the money to me, but you're going to tell me the truth about this mother-in-law today. Did you let someone steal it? "
Ding Wan was irritated by Shi Yan's behavior that didn't save her face, and only wanted Shi Yan to admit his theft on the spot and to clear his stigma of guarding and stealing.
If it wasn't for the letter that Shi Yan left to her at that time, she could not be retrieved for some reason, just holding the letter would prove Shi Yan's theft.
Shi Yan chuckled lightly, played with the big iron sword in his hand, and asked inexplicably, "What is stealing? Isn't that what my father left me? It's only for you to keep for the time being. Listening to what you mean, it's already taken. already have?
Besides, the things are gone under the custody of your Zhejian Villa. First, you didn't find any useful clues. Second, you didn't catch the thief who stole it. I haven't asked you for compensation yet. ? "
Hang Yunsan added a question that everyone present had wondered about for a long time: "It's impossible to steal such a large treasure by yourself, right? Isn't the protection of your Folding Sword Villa always famous for its pervertedness? It is said that our sect leader leads the brothers with them. They stole his own things openly in your territory, you haven't found out yet, do you listen to me?"
Ding Wan stared at Shi Yan fiercely: "It's obviously you, you admitted it! You left a letter, you were taken away... You have someone in the villa, someone to help you, it must be you!"
Shi Yan was curious: "I left a letter to admit it? What about the letter? What did I have someone take away? My staff in the villa? Are you referring to Aunt Zhu who was easily imprisoned by you? Everyone knows that you have framed me not once or twice, but you are still shameless when you open your mouth like this!"
Ding Wan was speechless, she couldn't really say that she had deceived the dark guard beside her son who was a few years old. In the end, because she did not give the dark guard any money for five years, all the dark guards quit jobs. Bar? What a fall!
Of course, the main reason is that Zong Chijian and his wife should not know about this matter, let them know that there was such a strong secret guard by their side, and they will definitely guard themselves more and more in the future. How will they live? He has lost his shocking wealth, and he can't lose the protection of Folding Sword Villa, otherwise, the enemies he provoked will come to him sooner or later.
Shi Yan knew that Ding Wan didn't dare to say it. As for the letter, it was naturally brought back by the dark guard Xiaowan. Could it really give people a clue?
Seeing Ding Wan shrink back again, he looked up at the sky, it was already late, and he couldn't delay the time to finish the meal.
He slowly raised the sword, but no one could see how he moved. When the sword was retracted again, all the people in the circle around him were injured in the chest, more than 100 people, the wounds were not deep and not fatal. , will not lose combat effectiveness, but the shocking effect of this is much greater than the actual effect.
Everyone knows that Shi Yan is now highly skilled in martial arts, and rumors say that he alone overcame the former leader of the Demon Sect and became the leader himself, but compared to what he saw with his own eyes, it was the latter that was more shocking.
At this level, at least among the people they have heard of, no one can do this.
Involuntarily took a few steps back, and the encirclement instantly doubled.
When everyone was trembling, they pointed their swords at Zong Zhijian, who had a livid face, and negotiated compensation very kindly: "I am not discussing with you, but to inform you. Have you figured out what to use to make up for my loss?"
Well, although it took some time, it is worth thinking about the things that have been greedy for a long time.
