The He family has been established in Yancheng for nearly a hundred years and is the largest and oldest family in Yancheng.

But with the appearance of the other three families, the He family has long lost its original glory. 30 years ago, the He family was in chaos due to a woman, and the head of the family killed many people. , Yancheng changed from the He family's dominance to a situation in which the four masters restricted each other.

In the early years, the He family formed a private alliance with the city lord of Yan City, which overwhelmed the other three families. However, since the city lord was arrested two years ago, the He family lost most of their property. Half of the ten-year foundation was lost.

Therefore, the branches of the He family left Yan City one after another, and rushed to other places. Master He had no choice but to distribute his property. This Zui Ting Xuan became the last face of the He family in Yan City, but now something happened.

Thinking of all the past, a trace of resentment flashed in Mrs. He's eyes, and she left the He mansion alone after retreating from the servants.

Peng Xin was pacing back and forth at home.

"Master, what's the matter with you?" The concubine beside him saw him anxiously, and said softly.

Peng Xin trembled in shock from her sudden utterance, as if he had reacted, he only stammered: "Pack up, quick, quick, pack up."

He had passed the responsibility to his subordinates yesterday. If, if he ran quickly, he should be able to leave Yancheng.

Concubine Mei was confused by his words, but seeing his panicked look, she also guessed that something was going to happen, so she responded and went back to her room to collect the gold and silver.

"Lady, what's wrong with you?" The servant girl was a little puzzled when she saw that she came back suddenly after she had just gone out.

"Hurry up, pack your things quickly, something happened, something happened, we have to go quickly." Mei Concubine was rummaging through the boxes and packing things while talking, without any of her usual frailty.

Just as Peng Xin packed up his things and was about to leave, he saw Mrs. He standing at the door.

"Cousin, cousin." Peng Xin's already vain face turned paler, his forehead was covered with sweat, and he felt flustered for a while. Seeing that no one else was following her, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Cousin, what's the matter with you? I'm just about to go out."

"Where are you going, cousin?" Mrs. He's face was ugly, but she didn't directly tear her face.

"It's not, isn't it just right, go, go to the restaurant and have a look?"

"is it?"

"Master, I've packed up my slave's things!" Mei Qie hurried over with her maid, and stopped when she saw Mrs. He.

"Hey, Madam He is here?"

The concubine's voice was embarrassing, knowing that Mrs. He had always disliked her, so she hurriedly turned her eyes to Peng Xin who was asking for help.

The latter was full of embarrassment and annoyance, seeing that he couldn't escape, he begged for mercy: "Cousin, just help cousin once, I really don't know what happened this time."

"I've helped you too many times." Mrs. He's expression was not good.

If it weren't for the kindness of her uncle's family, she would never have cared about these crap things anyway.

But he was thinking about blood relatives, what did his cousin do?

"Cousin, this time it was really an accident. I never thought that those, those aniseed fennel, would be fake." Peng Xin guessed that he could no longer hide anything, so he could only excuse himself in a hurry.

He also felt wronged this time!

He just heard that Baiweizhai had been ordered to open a Sanweiju, which even added sibba fennel to the penny vegetables, so he went to have a look.

He originally thought that the rumors were unlikely, after all, the current market price of Anxi fennel has reached ten taels of silver a catty, even if it is the He family's family business, it will not sell vegetables for a penny.

But after I tasted it, I realized that although there are few Anise fennel in those spices, there is indeed some.

Just when he wanted to inquire about the news from the waiter in the store, someone approached him.

It is said that there is a batch of spices that are going to be sold at a low price, and among them is this anise from the Western Regions.

He didn't believe it at first, after all, now that sedum fennel has become a priceless item, how could it be sold at a low price?

But they took him to look at the goods, and he tasted them himself. Not to mention the aniseed fennel, there were two hundred catties of goods piled up in the warehouse.

Not only is there a lot of goods, but the price is also cheap, as long as one tael of silver per catty.

After he inspected the goods, he bought them all, and then sold them to Zui Tingxuan at a price of five taels a catty of Anxian fennel.

That batch of goods has been used for three days, but there has never been an accident. Who would have thought that such a big incident would happen last night?

Thinking of the man who was twitching and foaming at the mouth last night, Peng Xin felt a chill down his back.

Although he is greedy, he is afraid of death. He doesn't want to be involved in a murder case!

"Where did you get those resting fennel?" Seeing that he hadn't told the truth, Mrs. He lost all patience.

"Yes, I bought it from a foreign businessman who lives in the south of the city." Peng Xin wiped the cold sweat from his brow, and stopped worrying about the burden under his feet, and quickly walked a few steps to Mrs. He's side.

"Why didn't you tell me last night?" Mrs. He's face was still ugly, and she felt more resentful towards this cousin in her heart.

Over the years, in addition to taking care of the He family with all her heart, she never forgot to help her uncle's family.

But this cousin is not up to date, and until now he can only live with the He family, although he is bored, but there is a layer of blood connection, now that he has encountered such a disaster, he still hides it from himself.

"I, I..." Peng Xin was speechless for a long time, he also wanted to tell his cousin last night.

But when it came to the end, he retreated again.

He knew that his cousin had run out of patience with him, so he just pushed his servant out to silence those people.

But he didn't have the guts to tell the He family.

"If you had come to look for me last night, you wouldn't have ended up like today!" Mrs. He felt her heart tremble.

The husband was already dissatisfied with the matter of supporting his relatives, but now it is better.

"Cousin, cousin please, just help me one more time..."

Concubine Mei also heard something when she shrank to the side, seeing Mrs. He getting angry at this moment, she just pulled the maid and quietly backed away from the side.

Mrs. He glanced at him, flicked her sleeves and went to the study.

Seeing his cousin's actions, Peng Xin heaved a sigh of relief, knowing that he should be fine this time, so he followed suit.

"Wife, where are we going?" The servant girl panicked when she saw that her wife had not only collected the money, but had even picked out the jade from the bed.

"Run!" The concubine stuffed the jade into her bag, looking around for the valuables, and explained.

"But master..." The servant girl was startled by her words.

"I'm just his concubine, and I didn't go to the government to get the deed. I ran away and then spent money to apply for a household registration. There's nothing to be afraid of." Picked it off.

This bead also has some weight!
