In a cheap carriage hired on the street, Hu Xinzhu slumped on the seat like a broken puppet, rolling his eyes and looking lifelessly at Granta sitting opposite him. www. QuAnBen-XIaoShuo. cOm tightly grasped the gold coin that saved his life just now. Granta looked at Hu Xinzhu in awe and confusion.
"Your Majesty the Viscount!" After the dilapidated carriage walked slowly on the street for a full quarter of an hour, Granta finally asked.
Hu Xinzhu's clothes are not gorgeous, but they are all made of silk after all. His boots were caked with dirt and mud, but looked to be made of fine lambskin. All in all, Hu Xinzhu's attire was quite satisfactory and there was nothing wrong with it, but there was nothing outstanding about it either.
Granta was full of questions about Hu Xinzhu who suddenly appeared in front of him. He wanted to know what was going on.
But Hu Xinzhu didn't give him a chance to ask questions, and glared at Granta majestically. Hu Xinzhu said lazily: "Tell me first, what is going on with you, your tribe, and your precious son?"
Once the most favored young minister in front of Emperor Ying of the Blood Qin Empire, Hu Xinzhu was as lazy as a boneless caterpillar when she was lazy. But when he deliberately showed a hint of majesty, that hint of solemnity shocked Granta's whole body, as if a vat of ice water was poured from his head in the coldest month of winter. Granta's whole body trembled, and her bones felt... There is a chill in them all.
Looking at Hu Xinzhu in horror, Granta had worked hard in the business world of the Gallic Empire and Vias for decades, and he had met many big shots. But no big man has ever given him such a terrifying feeling.
Granta had even seen the top consul of a certain Vyas government from a distance, but the consul who once ordered the hanging of nearly a thousand pirates had a negligible murderous aura compared to Hu Xinzhu. It's like the difference between a glass of water and a lake.
This is a great man who kills people profusely and wields great power!
Granta knelt down on one knee in the small carriage in awe, and respectfully reported her family affairs to Hu Xinzhu.
Granta and Graham, father and son, belong to a small business family. The family's population is not large. Their strength is not very strong either. After several generations of hard work, they finally accumulated a fortune worth millions of gold coins.
Millions of gold coins. In the Western Continent, for those behemoths hiding behind numerous shady scenes, one million gold coins is really not a big deal. But in front of the ordinary people in the Western Continent, there is a family with millions of gold coins. He can be considered a top wealthy businessman.
Therefore, Granta has always been proud, because it was in his hands that he successfully increased the family's assets from more than 300,000 gold coins to one million gold coins. He believed that he was the leader of the family's revival, and he became He became the most powerful and prestigious head of the entire family, and no one dared to disobey his word.
But all this suddenly changed a few years ago. Granta's son Gram, the precious son who was studying at the Fifth University of the Gallic Empire, suddenly returned to the family. He received the support of some unknown people and unknown forces. After he took over the family's two small shops, Graham successfully doubled the family's assets.
Since then, Graham's influence in the family has grown. Even directly threatened Granta.
How could Granta, who regarded wealth as her life, let Grante shake his position as head of the family? You must know that once the power of the family is handed over to Granta, Granta will inevitably hand over all the family property to his son! And the family's property, those gold coins, silver coins, copper coins, those lovely gold and silver jewelry. How could Graham take it away? …,
"Unless I die, they can't touch even a little bit of my belongings!" Granta muttered angrily.
Therefore, while Granta still had enough prestige and power in the family, he forced all tribesmen to hand over all the funds they had to the family treasury, and Granta's reliable confidants were stationed there. Outside the vault door.
The family wealth is gathered together, and only Granta has the power to use it. This strangled the lifeblood of the tribe, and they could not help but obey Granta's orders. Even Graham, who has an extremely strong development momentum, has become very well-behaved and obedient in the past two years because most of his funds are controlled by Granta. He does not dare to violate Granta in the slightest. inverse.
"But your treasury has been emptied!" Hu Xinzhu lazily hummed: "Your son, your tribe, just escaped from your control. Oh, even your last pension money has been plundered. Poor Granta, you have worked hard all your life, and this is what you get in return!"
Granta clenched the gold coins in his palm with resentment. He was filled with endless resentment towards his son, his brothers and sisters, and his nephews' daughters and other clan members - they had robbed him of his last ten pieces. Thousands of gold coins, the one hundred thousand gold coins hidden in the boots for retirement! That was Granta’s private money scraped from between her teeth over the years!
Hu Xinzhu looked at Granta with a smile, and said slowly: "Poor old Granta, poor old guy, poor old guy who lost all his wealth! Oh, but don't you have any doubts?"
Granta raised his head in surprise. He frowned and looked at Hu Xinzhu: "Your Majesty, Viscount, what do you suspect?"
Hu Xinzhu sneered and muttered in a low voice: "Who would go to the slums to rob? Who would know that there is a warehouse storing a large amount of gold coins in a shabby yard in the slums? Don't you doubt this?"
Granta's eyes gradually became bloodshot. He clenched his fists tightly and roared lowly.
With a slow wave of his hand, he took out a slender cigar from the ring and held it in his mouth. Hu Xinzhu lit a cigar for herself, and then took a long puff of smoke. As a result, the smoke choked her lungs, and Hu Xinzhu coughed violently, throwing the cigar out of the car window with her face full of snot and tears.
Cursing Lin Qi's bad habits in a low voice, Hu Xinzhu sneered: "Think about it, your son Gram was robbed of a lot of money, but he... he left without any complaints. ! He asked to separate the family, and he secretly kept two million gold coins outside? Hmm, the guards around him are enough to kill the guards you arranged outside the vault, right?"
Granta stood up. The low carriage forced him to bend his body and stand in front of Hu Xinzhu. He said word by word: "Yeah, it's really strange. I told all clan members to store all working capital in the family treasury, and no funds are allowed to be moved unless large transactions are required. But he was actually outside and secretly stored two million!"
Hu Xinzhu took out a piece of preserved fruit and threw it into his mouth, slowly chewing the sour dried plums. Hu Xinzhu said calmly: "He secretly saved two million outside. If his assets suddenly increased by several million, then who would doubt it?" What about him? If, I mean if he stole all the family funds in your treasury, then... of course he should leave as soon as possible!"
With a sigh, Hu Xinzhu sneered as she looked at Granta, whose face was covered with a faint blood.
"Dear Granta, Mr. General Manager of the Hart Family Future Chamber of Commerce, you have been betrayed by your son."
"Anyone with a bit of vision can see things, but you have been deceived."…,
"Your son recruited guards, killed the guards in the treasury, and robbed all the wealth in the treasury. Then he proposed to separate the family!"
"From now on, he is free from restraints. He can use the family's assets to make a fortune as much as he wants. From then on, he can eat well, drink hot food, have fine clothes and fine food, and be aloof. He will become a real nobleman, not a hypocrite who has to hide in the slums and suffer. noble!"
Granta clenched his fists tightly and sneered: "What a good son of mine! My money, my money, all the people's money has become his money! What a good son of mine, I What a good son!”
Hu Xinzhu shrugged her shoulders and said in a low and powerful voice: "Yes, your good son, you worked so hard to raise him!"
Granta gritted his teeth and said: "From the time he was born until he was five years old, he cost me a total of thirty-five silver coins and twenty-three copper coins!"
Hu Xinzhu shuddered. From birth to five years old, a child only spent thirty-five silver coins? Even raising a dog costs more than this, right? Looking at Granta with disdain, Hu Xinzhu tilted her mouth and continued: "You gave him a good living environment!"
Granta gritted his teeth and said: "Of course, from when he was five years old to thirteen years old, I sent him to study in Borelli. He cost me two gold coins and thirteen silver coins! Two gold coins, this bastard, two A gold coin! Two golden gold coins! He eats so much, look at his fat body, he eats too much! Two gold coins, two gold coins!"
Hu Xinzhu wanted to ask Granta what he had given Granta to eat so that Grante could develop such a body of fat using only two gold coins in eight years! What a magical father and son. After eight years, two gold coins can actually develop a body of fat! Amazing!
Baring his teeth, Hu Xinzhu sneered: "You gave him good educational conditions!"
Granta burst into tears, and he cried in a low voice: "When he was studying in Berelli, I gave him thirty silver coins every year! Thirty silver coins!"
Hu Xinzhu hid her face and sighed, thirty silver coins? No wonder Graham had to fool around with Lin Qi at that time, otherwise he wouldn't be able to support himself at all!
What a charitable father!
With a long sigh, Hu Xinzhu said ferociously: "You gave him so much, but he treats you like this!"
Granta said angrily: "Damn bastard, I should have strangled him when he was born!"
Hu Xinzhu approached Granta and whispered: "So you have to take revenge on him!"
Granta's eyes spurted out a flash of angry blood, and he said ferociously: "I must take revenge on him!"
Hu Xinzhu sighed with satisfaction. He knocked hard on the car window and said in a deep voice: "Car driver, go to the Noble House, hurry up!" (To be continued)
