When Shi Yi thinks about Xianyu, someone always comes to disturb her.

Chapter 389: Mr. Mi Being Blackmailed

If he really is someone with deep scheming, he wouldn't mind cleaning up the mess for his junior fellow apprentice.

Tianjizi thought for a moment and said, "I didn't give anything. That child is really good. You will know when you see him."

Master Wangyue said indifferently: "Okay! I really want to meet him."

Kaiyang: A-choo! A-choo!

He thought to himself, Who is talking about me?

It must be my mother!

He was in a very good mood when he thought of his mother, because he was already engaged to the sweet and soft Duoduo, and his mother would definitely be very satisfied!

My mother said that she wanted a fuller and fatter girl, and that meant more!

Tianjizi kept his promise and went to the office with his senior brother after dinner.

As soon as the manager of the Chuzhou office saw Tianjizi, he immediately saluted respectfully. It was obvious that Tianjizi's status was much higher than theirs.

Young Master Wangyue fanned himself and watched with a smile, but did not say anything.

Tianjizi asked straight to the point: "Is Kaiyang still in Chuzhou?" He didn't know whether he had caught up with his wife.

Steward: "Yes, he should be at the Mi family now. Not long ago he got engaged to Miss Mi Duoduo of the Mi family. So, you know, young men always want to be close to their wives." It's not enough to be together all day long.

Tianjizi shook his head and smiled, "Silly boy, you insist on getting married at such a young age!"

The steward smiled and said bluntly:

“In fact, I think it was Mrs. Mi who first chose Kaiyang as her son-in-law, and Miss Mi seemed to like Kaiyang very much as well.

Kaiyang later developed a crush on Miss Mi, and after a while, haha..."

Tianjizi curled his eyes happily, and then he asked the steward about the business:

"What's going on with the Mi family? Who wants to embarrass the Mi family?"

Manager: "Well...if you think about it, it seems that several big families in Chuzhou are involved. They all want to share the Mi family's property."

Tianjizi's smile slowly faded: "Oh? Tell me in detail."

Manager: "It's a long story. There are a total of six prominent families in Chuzhou, including the Mi family, but for some reason, the children of the Mi family have become less and less promising over the years.

Especially these two generations, the current Mr. Mi is a real playboy, and his brothers have not made any achievements.

Mr. Mi has three sons. The eldest son is still studying in the academy, and the other two sons are almost like Mr. Mi.

Eating, drinking and having fun all day long, so the Mi family saw that they had no support.

Therefore, it is understandable that the Mi family is looked down upon by the other five families. They are jealous of the rich family fortune accumulated by the Mi family's ancestors, so some people couldn't help but do some small actions.

This should be a test. If the Mi family can't find someone with a good background to support them, I'm afraid the other families will make their move."

Tianjizi was not familiar with official affairs, and he frowned, thinking about how to break the impasse.

Master Wangyue interrupted his thoughts.

"The Mi family's ancestors were once very powerful in the officialdom?"

The steward still replied respectfully:

“Yes, the ancestors of the Mi family once held a very high position in the court. I heard that they were ranked among the three highest officials.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to accumulate such a huge fortune. Later, for some reason, all members of the Mi family withdrew from the court.”

There must be some inside story unknown to outsiders, but the Mi family withdrew in a very dignified manner. No one was demoted, and there was no news of corruption or bribery.

Young Master Wangyue nodded. He did know a little, but it didn’t matter anymore. It was all in the past.

Now that the Mi family no longer has an official background, it is only a matter of time before they become targets of others.

Tianjizi: "I heard that the Mi family is involved in a lawsuit. What's going on?"

The manager complained with disdain:

"This lawsuit was also caused by them. These wealthy families in Chuzhou inevitably have business dealings with each other.

Especially since Mi's business was originally very prosperous, but later a lot of it was taken away by the other five companies, either openly or secretly. Although Mi was dissatisfied, they didn't say anything in the end.

They tacitly accepted these losses and only encouraged the ambitions of others.

The Mi family business is managed by Mrs. Mi, but all social events are handled by Mr. Mi, and it has been like this for many years.

Once when Mr. Mi was having a party with everyone, the second master of the He family specially invited Mr. Mi and others to discuss the treasure of Liuli Pavilion.

The Glass Pavilion is the He family's most profitable business. Many of the fine glass products inside are not sold to the public, but are only displayed to show off the place.

Therefore, it can be said to be a priceless treasure.

The accident happened to the store's treasure. It was said... of course, it was according to the second master of the He family - Master Mi drank too much and broke his treasure without any care.

Mr. Mi naturally denied it vehemently. He said that he had never come near that thing and it was impossible for him to touch the He family's treasure.

But there are witnesses from the He family, and several people can prove that it was Mr. Mi who broke this thing!

Finally, this ended up in court!"

"Hahahaha..." Master Wangyue burst into laughter, "Is this okay?"

Tianjizi said dissatisfiedly: "What's wrong? What's so funny?"

Master Wangyue suppressed his smile and shook his head, explaining:

"Tianjizi, this is really interesting. These people in Chuzhou... Humph, it's better if we don't touch the Mi family. If they dare to touch them, they will be the ones who will suffer in the end."

Master Wangyue asked, "Is the person who testified for the He family one of the few remaining wealthy families in Chuzhou?"

The steward was surprised and asked, "How did you know that, sir? The witnesses were from the group of the third son of the Yan family. The Yan family is also a wealthy family in Chuzhou."

Master Wangyue tapped his palms with his fan and said:

"Yes! That's right. Except for the Mi family, do the other five of the six wealthy families in Chuzhou have people serving as officials in the imperial court?"

The steward said in admiration: "Amazing, Young Master's guesses are all correct."

Master Wangyue smiled at the confused Tianjizi:

"I told you I wanted to come with you, but you didn't want to, and you even teased me on the way. I'm telling you, it's a good thing I came this time, otherwise you wouldn't be able to find the crux of the matter at all!"

Tianjizi's eyes lit up and he was happy.

"So you know."

Mr. Wangyue proudly looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle and looked down at people through his nose.

"Of course."

Tianjizi breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest and said:

"Brother, come on, come on. I'll treat you to some tea. Please tell me slowly what I should do about this matter."

Prince Wangyue shook his head and refused.

"I don't like tea, I won't go!"

Hi! Still taking Joe, right?

Tianjizi hooked Master Wangyue's neck and said, "Let's go!" and forcefully dragged him to the teahouse.

Master Wangyue smelled the fresh tea fragrance and said with satisfaction: "This tea is really good, it tastes mellow and smooth, and it tastes sweet after drinking it.

There is no astringency at all, and the tea soup is fresh and refreshing.

Haha, you are really willing to spend money for your apprentice. This tea is not cheap."
