Ch 294: Two Parasites
“He’s quite ill.”
Li Hanzhou was speechless.
How could this woman have such a high opinion of herself?
Sigh, it’s still because Xiao Han was too much of a simp.
The next morning.
Li Hanzhou came to the mansion’s treasury. Li Hanzhou planned to find a weapon in the treasury and see if there were any other sword arts he could cultivate.
But when Li Hanzhou entered the treasury, he was dumbfounded.
The treasury was empty, with nothing but a few scattered items and some loose silver.
It looked like it had been robbed.
“Approaching person.”
Li Hanzhou said with a dark face.
He had originally possessed the body of this son of the King of Northern Qi, thinking it was very lucky, with plenty of cultivation resources to use, allowing him to break through early and then regain his physical body. He never expected to be so unlucky, with nothing in the mansion, not even much money.
If it weren’t for his storage bag being on his original physical body, he wouldn’t be in such a difficult situation.
“Young Master.”
Two guards quickly ran in from outside.
“Where are the things in the treasury? Why is our Xiao Mansion’s treasury so poor?” Li Hanzhou said speechlessly.
“This…”
The two looked embarrassed, looking at each other.
“And isn’t it the fifteenth today? Supplies should have been sent from the Prince’s Mansion this morning, right? Why haven’t they been entered into the account?”
Li Hanzhou remembered this.
“Young Master, the supplies sent by the Prince’s Mansion arrived a long time ago, but they first had to be screened by the manager. Only the remaining items would be stored in the treasury. However, in these few times the Prince’s Mansion sent supplies, after the manager screened them, basically nothing was left, so the treasury is empty.”
“And the manager also often comes here to take things out to sell, and also for gambling debts and so on. Naturally, there are few treasures left.”
Another guard chimed in.
“Manager?”
“What qualifications does he have to take things from the Xiao Mansion?”
Li Hanzhou’s face darkened.
“Um, he’s Yin Qing’s father.” The two stopped there, because those who understand, understand.
Li Hanzhou then remembered that Xiao Han, that simp, had indeed tacitly approved of this behavior. In order to curry favor with Yin Qing, Yin Zhaofeng did all these things, and Xiao Han didn’t care at all, as long as Yin Qing and her father were happy.
“Serves him right to be poisoned to death.”
Li Hanzhou couldn’t help but curse.
Then Li Hanzhou took a dozen guards to find Yin Zhaofeng.
When they arrived at Yin Zhaofeng’s residence, Li Hanzhou discovered that his own residence was actually a side room of the Xiao Mansion, while Yin Zhaofeng’s residence was the main house.
And the small courtyard was exceptionally luxurious. Compared to this, his own place was almost like a servant’s quarters.
“Thirty thousand taels of silver.”
“Five thousand taels of gold.”
“Ten Qi Gathering Pills.”
“Five Hundred Year Snow Ginseng.”
“…”
As soon as he walked into the courtyard, he heard someone inside reciting a list.
Several large boxes were placed below, glittering with jewels, all treasures.
It has to be said that although the King of Northern Qi was somewhat dissatisfied with his younger son’s lack of ambition, he was still very good to his younger son, bestowing a large amount of supplies every month.
And in the upper seat, Yin Zhaofeng was holding a small teapot, smiling as he listened.
Yin Qing was also sitting beside him.
After the two guards finished reading the items recorded in the roster.
Yin Zhaofeng said lightly, “Leave five hundred taels of silver to be stored, and keep the rest.”
“Yes.”
A hint of helplessness appeared in the two guards’ gazes, and they had to go and get the silver.
All these treasures together were worth about five hundred thousand taels, yet in the end, their young master could only get five hundred taels. It was truly pitiful.
“Humph, Father, you didn’t even leave him five hundred taels. Don’t you know how infuriating he was yesterday!”
Yin Qing was very dissatisfied.
“My dear daughter, leave him five hundred taels, and then you can just ask him for more from him,” Yin Zhaofeng said with a smile. “Anyway, aren’t those things of Xiao Han’s yours? Whether you give it to him or not is the same. Don’t be angry with him, he’s just playing hard to get. In a few days he’ll naturally come to beg you. Then you can heavily extort him, let him go to ask the King of Northern Qi for money.”
“That’s right, less than one million taels, don’t even think about me paying him any attention.”
Yin Qing said haughtily.
“Such a big mouth!”
At that moment, Li Hanzhou walked in with his men.
“Greetings, Young Master.”
The two guards quickly put down their booklets and respectfully spoke to Li Hanzhou.
“Humph.”
Yin Qing snorted when she saw that it was Li Hanzhou, ignoring him.
Yin Zhaofeng remained seated. Seeing Li Hanzhou walk in, he didn’t stand up to greet him, but calmly took a sip of tea and slowly said, “So Xiao Han has come. Xiao Han, it’s not that Uncle Feng is saying this, but when chasing girls, you need to have the attitude of chasing girls. Look at how angry you made Qingqing, how can Qingqing possibly like you like this?”
“Come and apologize to Qingqing, and be more careful in the future, understand?” Yin Zhaofeng scolded Xiao Han with a cold face.
“Even if he apologizes, I won’t forgive him!”
Yin Qing was very stubborn at the moment.
“Yin Zhaofeng.”
Li Hanzhou looked at the treasures on the ground and sneered, “These things were gifts from the King of Northern Qi to me, yet you actually took them all, and you say you only left me five hundred taels? Also, the guards guarding the treasury also said that the things in the treasury before were also taken by you, right?”
“Xiao Han!”
Yin Qing suddenly stood up and said angrily, “How dare you talk to my father like that!”
Yin Zhaofeng’s face also darkened, and he said lightly, “Xiao Han, you’re being a bit unreasonable.”
“Who allowed you to call my name directly?”
Li Hanzhou narrowed his eyes and said, “You two, one is the steward of our Xiao Mansion, and the other is a servant of our Xiao Mansion. Who gave you the power to call my name directly? I am the son of the King of Northern Qi, I am the master of this Xiao Mansion!”
“Xiao Han, are you finished making a fuss!” Yin Qing’s face was livid with anger.
Yin Zhaofeng was the same. He didn’t expect Xiao Han to be so unyielding, so he could only say coldly, “Xiao Han, if you continue with this attitude, don’t blame Uncle Feng for not being able to help you. I used to have high hopes for you, but now you’ve let Uncle Feng down.”
Hearing this, Li Hanzhou almost laughed.
“Calling himself Uncle Feng, you really think of yourself as an elder.” Li Hanzhou raised his hand and said, “Bring someone here, break my Uncle Feng’s legs, and slap that bitch twenty times, then throw her out of the Xiao Mansion.”
“Ah?”
The guards behind him were all shocked.
Was the Young Master serious?
Yin Zhaofeng and Yin Qing were also stunned. Was Xiao Han serious?
