Han Bozun was stunned for a long time, his face turned the color of pig liver, he thought he understood something, his body was so limp that he could hardly stand, and his voice was trembling: "Sir... Your Majesty, you are in a low position... you are guilty of a low position...!"

"

Xue Poye glanced at him and sneered: "You are still a sensible person, so you should know what to do."

Han Bozun wiped the sweat from his forehead, knelt down beside Xue Poye, and whispered: "My lord, please make it clear that I will obey your orders."

Xue Poye touched his nose and said coldly: "If I were Mr. Han, I would like to have more legs and rush back to Kyoto, explain the situation to Mr. Wang, and then plead guilty. After all, Mr. Wang is the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and we all belong to the same family.

I will definitely protect you a little. Mr. Han, if I don’t take issue with your coming to Hangzhou, someone else will. Once it happens, His Highness the Fourth Prince will not admit that it has anything to do with you.

If you don't have Mr. Wang's protection at this time, you will be accused of using power for personal gain."

Han Bozun clasped his fists and said respectfully: "Thank you for your advice, sir. I am grateful for my humble position." After saying that, Han Bozun couldn't wait to leave. After only taking two steps, he was stopped by Xue Poye, who hurriedly stopped and waited for instructions.

Xue Poye pondered for a moment, and then slowly said: "Remember to report to Mr. Wang when you go back, and pay attention to the movements of our officials in the Household Department. Don't make them all like you, being used by those behind the scenes. If there is no situation within the Household Department,

If we are united, we will become an institution open to bullying."

Han Bozun felt weak all over and hurriedly said yes. When he saw Xue Poye waved his hand, he hurriedly led his servants away like flying. As soon as he walked out of the gate of Ziyanfang, his feet went weak and he was about to kneel down. Fortunately, the officer next to him had quick hands and quick eyes.

, held him in place.

Han Bozun smiled bitterly and said: "Master Xue is young and wise, I...I have lived in vain." With the support of two official servants, he got on the carriage, quickly left Ziyanfang, and went back to Kyoto to plead guilty.

Shopkeeper Qian breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xue Poye driving away Han Bozun easily. He looked at everyone in the hall, then he hugged Xue Poye and said softly: "Sir, please follow me."

Xue Poye knew that he had seen the black ring in his hand. It was a token. Now he let himself go with him. He obviously had something to say. He nodded and told Nan Huaiwu and the others to wait outside.

Then he got up and followed shopkeeper Qian to a side compartment at the back.

The furnishings in the side compartment are simple, but it is very quiet. Shopkeeper Qian closed the door tightly, turned around and bowed: "I have met the master!"

The black ring is the supreme token of Ziyanfang. It has supreme authority in the eyes of the shopkeepers of Ziyanfang, and the person who holds the black ring is the boss of Ziyanfang.

Shopkeeper Qian saw the black ring and immediately judged that Xue Poye was the new owner of Ziyanfang. As for how Xue Poye became the new owner, although he was confused, he didn't care.

Xue Poye raised his hand and said calmly: "Get up!" He glanced around the simple side room, walked slowly to a chair and sat down.

Shopkeeper Qian poured the tea, served it, and stood aside without saying anything.

Xue Poye took a sip of tea and then said calmly: "Shopkeeper Qian, I know what you are thinking."

Shopkeeper Qian shuddered and turned to look at Xue Poye. When he saw those clear eyes staring at him, he couldn't help but kneel to the ground and said with some guilt: "Master, the little one...the little one is guilty."

"You mentioned the black ring as a keepsake in front of Han Bozun twice, and you kept saying that you can only present the land and house deeds after seeing the black ring. It seems righteous, but in fact you are reminding Han Bozun. It's a pity that stupid pig can't hear the meaning in your words.

Meaning." Xue Poye held the tea cup and said coldly: "But I understand."

Shopkeeper Qian's face turned a little pale. The new master gave him a powerful blow as soon as he came up, and he knew in his heart that this new master was definitely not an ordinary character.

"You are reminding him to ask them to find the Black Ring. In this way, it will be justifiable to take over Ziyanfang, and it will be safe for you to hand over the house deed." Xue Poye said with a half-smile: "If there is no Black Ring

If you show up and hand over the property deed without authorization, you will have violated your original oath of allegiance to His Highness the Second Highness, and you will be sent to a place of eternal destruction by His Highness's remnant party."

"Young...I have selfish motives, you deserve to die...!" When Xue Poye said something about the conspiracy, Shopkeeper Qian immediately felt a chill all over his body.

This young man has such a keen eye that he can see such a profound problem from such casual details. Shopkeeper Qian is not only fearful, but even a little admired.

Xue Poye chuckled and said: "Shopkeeper Qian, I have no other purpose in saying this, let alone to blame you. I only have one purpose, which is to let you know that your new master, the new master of Ziyanfang,

I am not a fool, nor am I a person who allows others to bully me. If you follow me, you will continue to live a good life. You can have confidence in me and continue to do what you should do."

Shopkeeper Qian was stunned and looked at Xue Poye in confusion.

Xue Poye took another sip of tea and then said slowly: "Your Highness is in trouble. Everyone is thinking about their own future. For themselves and their families, there is nothing wrong with this. If I were put in your position, I would be like you."

Do it, and even do it more straightforwardly. The dead are gone, and the living still have to live well, so you are not wrong, not at all."

Shopkeeper Qian was grateful for a moment and choked with sobs: "Master, I... I will swear allegiance to the master to the death."

Xue Poye smiled faintly and said: "Shopkeeper Qian, while I am still alive, I need your help and need you to run Ziyan Fang well. During this period, I need your absolute loyalty. But if one day I also

If something unexpected happens, you can definitely find another way to make a living. I hope you can understand this."

What Xue Poye said was extremely sincere and candid, which made Shopkeeper Qian burst into tears of gratitude and not know what to say.

"I came today to entrust you with something." Xue Poye pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Kingto Purple Smoke Shop is still a little messy at the moment, and I'm afraid there won't be enough time to appease the branches, so you should write a letter to the surrounding areas as soon as possible.

Please inform them that Ziyanfang will not collapse, let alone any accidents, everything will proceed step by step, there is no need to panic."

Shopkeeper Qian said hurriedly: "Yes, yes, I understand, I will do it immediately."

Xue Poye nodded with a smile, stood up and patted Shopkeeper Qian on the shoulder, saying warmly: "Then I'll help you." He straightened his clothes and was about to go out, but suddenly heard Shopkeeper Qian say from behind: "Master, this house deed is

And the title deed…!”

"Keep it well." Xue Poye said calmly.

In Ziyanfang, as soon as Han Bozun left the house, the guys came back one after another, and those customers who needed rouge and gouache thought the matter was resolved and returned to the shop one after another to continue shopping.

Xue Poye came out of the side compartment with light steps.

Nan Huaiwu looked at Xue Poye, smiled softly and said: "Shopkeeper, Nan Huaiwu only learned today that some people are born to exist for impossible things."

"Brother Nan, are you talking about me?"

No matter what, Brother Nan’s contribution is indispensable.”

Nan Huaiwu sighed: "Shopkeeper, you are too modest."

Xue Poye glanced at the extremely respectful shopkeeper Qian behind him, nodded slightly, then approached Nan Huaiwu and smiled softly: "Brother Nan, you said that if I really had such a big property, you would have thought about it.

It’s so satisfying, it seems you are finally getting over this addiction.”

Nan Huaiwu was filled with emotion, looked at the bustling Ziyanfang, and said slowly: "Shopkeeper, this is a girl's house, why don't you go out first."

The group of people walked out slowly, with Xue Poye leading the way. As soon as they stepped out of the door, they heard a very familiar and crisp voice.

"Miss, what kind of gouache should we buy? Is jasmine good? Well, you like osmanthus flavor."

Xue Poye shuddered and stopped in front of the door. At this moment, two girls came into his eyes.

"Su... Suzhen!" Xue Poye moved his lips, and after a long while, he called out affectionately.

In front of him, suddenly they were Xiao Suzhen and Hanxiang. Hanxiang was still lively and cute, while Suzhen beside Hanxiang was dignified and elegant, wearing a big pink fur coat, a white fur silk, and a pink headband.

The cotton hat with pull-down eyes on both sides covered her charming face, but in Xue Poye's eyes, nothing could resist Xiao Suzhen's face. That beautiful face that he had missed countless times had been deeply imprinted on her.

It was engraved in his mind and in his heart.

He didn't even expect that he would meet the beauty he had longed for in this place.

Time seemed to stop at this moment, and the air seemed to freeze at this moment. Xiao Suzhen's hazy and dreamy eyes stared at Xue Poye's clear eyes, their eyes met, and everything seemed to have stopped.

Hanxiang's little face showed a look of surprise, and she stared blankly at Xue Poye who suddenly appeared in front of her.

After a long time, Xue Poye said softly: "Suzhen, I...!" Before he could finish his sentence, Xiao Suzhen turned around and ignored him, as if he saw a stranger, and walked back quickly.

Hanxiang said anxiously: "Miss, Miss...!" and chased after her.

Xue Poye frowned. He didn't know why, so he followed closely without stopping. It was difficult to shout on the street, so he could only speed up the pace to keep up. He really didn't understand why Xiao Suzhen turned around and left without saying a word.

When the two Yulin guards saw the deputy chief guard leaving, they wanted to follow him, but Nan Huaiwu had already seen the connection. He stretched out his hand to stop and said calmly: "Don't follow, you, Master Xue, have something to do."

Xue Poye had a close relationship with Nan Huaiwu, and the Yulin guards saw it. Seeing that Nan Huaiwu said this, it was difficult to keep up. One of the Yulin guards whispered: "Shopkeeper Nan, I am alone, I'm afraid there are

There is a danger, we have to guard against it.”

Nan Huaiwu knew that Xue Poye's identity was different now, so he couldn't be careless. He nodded and said: "Follow, don't follow too close, just protect him secretly."

The two Yulin guards responded and quickly followed.

Walking among the crowd, Xue Poye stared closely at Xiao Suzhen's figure in front of him, fearing that he would lose him.

Not long after, they came out of the street. The front was empty and there were far fewer people. Xiao Suzhen finally stopped and without turning around or looking back, she said coldly: "You...what are you chasing after again?"

.”

Xue Poye was stunned, and then said softly: "Suzhen, what's wrong with you? I'm Xue Poye, you... you... I miss you!"

Xiao Suzhen's delicate body trembled slightly, and after a long time, she said softly: "Xue Poye, why did you lie to me? Why do you still treat me like this today?"

"Suzhen, I don't understand what you mean. I have been thinking about you day and night, and your shadow is always in my mind. When did I lie to you?" Xue Poye said seriously: "My heart for you,

Don’t you understand?”

"I understand!" Xiao Suzhen finally turned around, her beautiful eyes were filled with tears, and her voice was trembling: "You are just coaxing me, your sweet words are deceptive poison."

Xue Poye stepped forward and said, "I...I don't understand what you mean?"

"Don't come here." Xiao Suzhen stretched out her hand to stop. Seeing Xue Poye stop her steps, she said: "I used to think that you were sincere to me and that you could treat me well, but...but now I understand that I

In your eyes, it's just a dispensable thing. You haven't seen each other for nearly half a year, and you haven't sent me a message or a letter. You...!" At this point, his voice was choked with sobs.

Seeing Xiao Suzhen's sad face, Xue Poye sighed, shook his head and said: "Suzhen, things are not what you think, it really is not like that. Please listen to me and explain to you slowly. I...!"

Xiao Suzhen shook her head and interrupted: "I will never listen to your sweet words again, you will only lie. My father is right, you... you will never take a woman into your heart, you just...!" Choking

, unable to say any more, turned around and said: "Hanxiang, I... let's go...!" He walked away without stopping.

Xue Poye felt a little sad in his heart. He gritted his teeth and rushed forward. He was extremely proficient in the "Ecstasy Heart Technique". It was really easy to catch up with Xiao Suzhen. He blocked in front of Xiao Suzhen, looked at her miserable face, shook his head and said: "Suzhen

, you are wrong, I think about you all the time, really, if I tell lies, if I lie to you, God will strike with five thunderbolts, and I will die badly."
