Chapter 5 — The Donkey's Red-Eyed Husband reconciled, I cried, signed my name, and then cleaned out the treasury of hundreds of thousands

Even if it is a rare and precious antique that is worth thousands of gold, it is difficult to buy. Tham Tri Phi could also quietly place it on his desk. He never had to worry about money. But now. Tang Tang is the Marquis of the Thua An Marquis palace. For thousands of taels of silver, I had to go to the pawn shop to see other people's faces.

“Where are you?”

Ta Yen stopped walking. The trusted little private immediately stepped forward. Ta Yen looked at the gray sky in the distance. This time around. The assets he sold were received by different owners. But all are merchants from Jiangnan. There are no such coincidences in this world.

“Send some smart people to Jiangnan.”

Ta Yen lowered her voice.

"Go investigate that Hoi Thong estate, with the big man standing behind it."

“No matter what tricks you use.”

“You also need to investigate my background clearly.”

The petty private received his orders and retreated. Ta Yen clenched her fists. Tham Tri Phi. It's best not to let me find out if this has anything to do with you. A group of dark guards were sent to Jiangnan to investigate. What I brought back was just a white sheet of paper with the words:

'The big man behind Hoi Thong Bank's room is so tight that not a single drop of water leaks in.'

Ta Yen crumpled the secret letter into a ball. Then he violently threw down the mahogany wooden case. Outside the door came the jingling sound of jade pendants. Lam Thanh Nguyet walked in carrying a bowl of bird's nest. The corners of his eyes were still red. She was not like her usual gentle and caring person. As soon as he opened his mouth, he mentioned the Princess's apricot reward party. Along with the mockery of the ladies in the capital for her poor dress.

“Brother Yen, when will the bride price from the Marquis Palace arrive?”

"The harsh words outside, Nguyet Nhi is about to be unable to bear it anymore."

She twisted her handkerchief tightly. Tears fell down. Every sentence and every word tells of my self-pity. But it reached Ta Yen's ears. He just felt extremely noisy. He looked at the beautiful face before him. The face he once thought was elegant and worldly. Not contaminated with dust. But this time. There is only calculation and impatience left over gold, silver and brocade. Suddenly Ta Yen felt very tired. Previously, when Tham Tri Phi was still in the palace. The Marquis's treasury is always filled with strange treasures. Every time Thanh Nguyet comes as a guest. They all stood in high positions and criticized Tham Tri Phi for being full of money. Now Tham Tri Phi is gone. That noble and arrogant cousin. Because of a brocade robe, Van Cam got angry at him again.

“Recently, the royal situation has been tense.”

“Please be patient a little longer.”

Ta Yen raised her hand to gently rub her eyebrows.

“Patience?”

“How much longer must we endure?”

Lam Thanh Nguyet suddenly raised her voice.

“For you, I left my hometown to come to the capital.”

“Not to bear the disdainful eyes of others!”

"If next month there is still no three books and six ceremonies."

“I will return to Jiangnan!”

She placed the bowl of bird's nest firmly on the table. Then turn around and run out. Ta Yen did not chase. He leaned back in his chair. Look at the beaded curtains swaying before your eyes. He used to think she was gentle and kind. Not interested in fame and fortune. But now look back. She is no different from the ordinary women in the capital wall. The moonlight shines in his heart. It seems to have been covered with a faint layer of dust. Yen Vu Lau. I flipped through the land deeds in my hand. The tip of the pen is dotted with cinnabar. Then cross out an amount on the books. Three silk shops under Tham Trac's name were forced by us to close down and stop doing business. The commercial tactics that he has always been proud of. In my eyes, it's so primitive that it's funny. He hired a bunch of thugs to come to our office and cause trouble. I immediately spent three times the amount of money to bribe those scoundrels. Then tell them to turn around and destroy his own property. He wants to hoard raw silk to push up the price. I immediately spread the news one step ahead. Joined forces with three major commercial associations of Jiangnan to simultaneously release inventory. Causing all the raw silk he purchased at high prices to rot in the warehouse. In just a short half month. This Grand Master of the Tham family not only lost all his capital. But also burdened with a messy pile of debt. The room door was pushed open.
