Chapter 368 Please Fulfill Your Promise

When everyone went to Jiu Ye's place, his subordinates said that the people had confessed and were instructed by the young boss of Fu Ji, Zheng Sanduo, and that the person who was looking for them was the steward of the Zheng family.

As expected, Ye Jiayao gritted her teeth and said, Zheng Sanduo, if you do it on the first day, don't blame me for doing it on the fifteenth.

Jiu Ye looked at Xia Chunyu and said, "My Lord, what do you think we should do next?"

Chunyu looked at Ye Jiayao, but Ye Jiayao looked at Chunfeng. After Xiaoya's reminder that day, she knew who the mastermind was, and she wanted to know Chunfeng's opinion.

When it comes to Liuli, it is a family matter. If it gets out, the two daughters-in-law of the Jing'an Marquis's mansion are incompatible and have even set fire to it, which will damage the reputation of the Jing'an Marquis's mansion. She is the mistress of the mansion and has to take these into consideration.

Chunfeng didn't dare to look into his second sister-in-law's eyes, feeling guilty.

Ye Jiayao hesitated for a moment and said, "I have decided to hand these people over to the authorities for punishment. I hope that Zheng Sanduo is the only one behind this."

If the case is sent to the authorities, it will take more than a day or two to conduct a thorough investigation. This is considered as some buffer time for Chunfeng. Whether she can make Zheng Sanduo keep his mouth shut depends on Liuli's own ability.

Xia Chunyu immediately realized that Zhao Liuli might be behind the arson case, and he could not help but feel angry. How could she be involved in everything? This woman was simply a stubborn person, and her methods were getting worse and worse.

"Good morning, official! This time Fu Ji is done for." Zhao Qixuan said.

The matter was settled. Jiu Ye sent people to send the gangsters to the government office. Ye Jiayao and Chunyu went to find Lu Xiaotian. Lu Xiaotian was the president of the Chamber of Commerce and the person in charge of the training class, so naturally he had to step in on this matter.

When Lu Xiaotian heard that the arsonist was caught, he was excited and agreed. He would contact Duan Qilin and others and wait for the summons from the government office at any time. He would also call back the students who had seen the arsonist and testify in court.

Chunfeng immediately returned home and went straight to Liuli's room.

Liuli was delighted to see Chunfeng coming, because Chunfeng had never entered her room since she moved out.

But soon he saw Chunfeng's frosty face, and his joy was frozen, and he couldn't help feeling worried.

"Chunfeng, why are you here? Xiaoya, go make tea for the third young master. I want Biluochun. The third young master likes Biluochun." Liuli forced a smile and said attentively.

Chunfeng said coldly: "No need, Xiaoya, you go out first."

Xiaoya looked at the princess and waited for her to nod before she left.

Liuli was in a state of confusion, with all kinds of bad thoughts popping up in her mind. Her new plan hadn't even been implemented yet, so Chunfeng couldn't possibly know about it! Besides, even if he knew, he had no evidence!

Chunfeng stared at Liuli with a look of hatred: "Zhao Liuli, are you possessed? If you don't do evil for a day, you will feel uncomfortable all over, right?"

Liuli looked at Chunfeng in disbelief and said aggrievedly: "What did I do again? Why are you accusing me like this? I stay at home all day long and never go out of the door. What else can I do? Please don't accuse me of everything, okay?"

If it weren't for Xiaoya, Chunfeng might really think that she was content. However, there is no if. The reality is so cruel. This woman whom he once treated with all his heart and sincerity has repeatedly touched his bottom line, making him lose face and unable to face his family. Today, the look in his second sister-in-law's eyes made him want to dig a hole in the ground and crawl into it.

"Don't you know what you have done? The gangsters who committed the arson have already betrayed Zheng Sanduo. Now, he has been sent to the authorities. Can you guarantee that Zheng Sanduo won't betray you? Are you sure?" Chunfeng asked sarcastically.

Liuli's face turned pale and she looked flustered. She cursed Zheng Sanduo inwardly. This useless guy had repeatedly assured her that there would be no mistakes, but now he was arrested.

She really couldn't guarantee that Zheng Sanduo wouldn't expose her. If the matter was brought to the government this time, her reputation would be ruined.

Chunfeng looked at her terrified face and hated her even more: "Are you afraid now? Why weren't you afraid when you were ordering Zheng Sanduo?"

Liuli argued weakly: "I, I am not afraid of anything, this matter has nothing to do with me."

Chun Feng was so angry that he almost fell backwards. He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, it has nothing to do with you. I really hope it has nothing to do with you."

After saying that, Chunfeng left angrily.

There is nothing much he can say about someone who refuses to repent and is determined to go down a path to the end and cannot be pulled back. Just let her destroy herself!

As soon as Chunfeng left, Liuli hurried out.

The government office acted quickly this time. After finishing the trial of the previous case, they started to try the arson case. With almost no effort, those little hooligans all confessed. The government immediately ordered the constable to bring Zheng Sanduo. As a result, the constable came back and said that Zheng Sanduo was missing and Zheng Fugui didn't know where his son had gone.

It is obvious that Zheng Sanduo ran away. There is evidence of his crime. The government drew a picture of him and issued a wanted order.

The case was temporarily shelved.

Ye Jiayao knew that things would not go so smoothly. Fortunately, Fu Ji's reputation had been completely ruined. Lu Xiaotian convened a meeting of the Chamber of Commerce directors to remove Fu Ji from the Chamber of Commerce. This time, Lian Xingwang and Mei Xiuguang both voted in favor, fearing that if they hesitated, they would also be involved.

Lu Xiaotian also issued a statement, informing his colleagues in Jinling of Zheng Sanduo's crimes, and Fu Ji's reputation became completely ruined.

After resolving this matter, Ye Jiayao began to deal with Datonghui.

The next day was the last day of business for Datonghui this year. In previous years, there were not many customers on this day, but this day will be an unforgettable day for Zuo Qingyun in his life.

As soon as the shop door opened, Ye Jiayao came in and threw out a silver note of 3.6 million taels, demanding cash. Such a large sum of money frightened the clerk, and he hurried in to report it.

After a while, Zuo Qingyun came to see Ye Jiayao in person.

He used to respect and admire this woman, but now, he hated her so much that his teeth were gnashing. In his entire life, he had only suffered at the hands of this woman.

"Is the Second Young Madam in a hurry to use the money?" Zuo Qingyun asked with a smile, his demeanor was leisurely and his temperament was gentle.

Although he hated it, Zuo Qingyun was no fool. He had experienced all kinds of hardships. He could still control his emotions.

Ye Jiayao said calmly, "Whether it's urgent or not, Shopkeeper Zuo doesn't need to worry about it. Just cash the money."

Zuo Qingyun sneered: "Is the Second Young Madam worried that Datonghui will default on its debt?"

"That's not possible. Datonghui is the number one silver shop in Huaisong and has a great reputation. How can they destroy themselves for a few million taels of silver? A few million taels of silver is just a drop in the bucket for Datonghui." Ye Jiayao smiled faintly and spoke in a calm tone.

Zuo Qingyun lowered his eyebrows and sneered: "What else is Second Young Madam worried about?"

Ye Jiayao stroked her hair and said slowly, "It's not that I'm worried, but I feel uncomfortable. Thinking about me being locked up here for so many days, I feel uncomfortable and don't want to keep my money with you anymore."

"Those are all misunderstandings. Why should Second Young Madam hold a grudge against me?" Zuo Qingyun said kindly.

"Women are very narrow-minded. Doesn't Shopkeeper Zuo know that?" Ye Jiayao asked back.

"I thought the Second Young Madam would be different."

"Haha, Manager Zuo thinks too highly of me, Ye Jinxuan. People who know me know that, actually, I'm a very narrow-minded person." Ye Jiayao kept smiling, but there was a threatening tone in her expression.

Anyway, we are not the same kind of people, so there is no need to be polite.

"Manager Zuo, the three silver notes you issued are all available for withdrawal at any time. The 600,000 taels I deposited earlier are also in demand. Manager Zuo, please cash them out quickly. I'm still busy!"

Seeing that he could not convince the other party, Zuo Qingyun had to give up. Fortunately, he had enough inventory and could still afford more than three million taels.

"Then please wait a moment, Second Young Madam. It will take a while to handle such a large amount. Do you want to transport it yourself? Or do you want our store to help you transport it?"

Ye Jiayao said, "No need to bother Manager Zuo. The manager of HSBC Bank is outside. Once you leave this door, the money will be taken directly to HSBC Bank."

No matter how strong Zuo Qingyun's self-control was, he couldn't help but twitch his lips. HSBC and Chase Exchange were sworn enemies. All the silver houses that had been against him were dealt with, leaving only HSBC to compete with Chase Exchange. This woman was really cruel. This move was simply a slap in his face.

Ye Jiayao had inquired about the relationship between Datonghui and HSBC Bank, so she went to HSBC Bank on purpose. The owner of HSBC Bank immediately agreed to send a steward and a carriage to pick up the money, and was willing to pay Ye Jiayao a high interest rate. The excitement in the eyes of the owner of HSBC Bank could not be concealed.

She wanted Datonghui to lose not only money, but also her face.

Zuo Qingyun was angry and helpless. His good intentions ended up bringing him disgrace, but he had no words to say and could only accept his bad luck.

There was enough silver in the stock, but Zuo Qingyun could not give it all to Ye Jiayao. In order to prevent individual customers from coming to cash in, he discussed with Ye Jiayao to convert one million taels of silver into gold.

Ye Jiayao didn’t care whether it was gold or silver, as long as the total amount was enough for her.

The guys were busy for an hour counting and moving 3.6 million taels of gold and silver.

After the HSBC clerk had counted the money and confirmed that it was correct, he gave the deposit certificate to Ye Jiayao on the spot.

Ye Jiayao flicked the deposit slip in her hand, put it in her arms, looked back at the golden sign of Datonghui, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth.

This is just the beginning, the real fun is about to begin.

Zuo Qingyun was so angry that he just returned to his room and was about to have a cup of tea to calm down, when his waiter came to report that someone had brought a silver note worth one million taels to cash it.

"What?" Zuo Qingyun was no longer calm and had a strong bad premonition.

Is there such a coincidence?

The people who came to cash the silver this time were from the Helian Palace. Zuo Qingyun had a gloomy face and asked the clerk to cash it.

After this group left, another group came one after another. Some donated hundreds of thousands of taels, and some donated hundreds of thousands of taels. All in all, more than two million taels were donated.

The guys started to worry: "Boss, we are running low on stock."

Zuo Qingyun's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he said angrily: "Do I need you to tell me?"

He had been running a silver shop for so many years, and had encountered such a large amount of discrepancy when he was dealing with several major silver shops. However, he was well prepared at that time. Now, the incident happened suddenly, and he was caught off guard.
