In a cheap carriage hired on the street, Hu Xinzhu slumped on the seat like a broken puppet, rolling his eyes and looking lifelessly at Granta sitting opposite him. He clutched tightly to the one that saved his old man just now.
Granta looked at Hu Xinzhu in awe and confusion.
"Your Majesty the Viscount!" After the dilapidated carriage walked slowly on the street for a full quarter of an hour, Granta finally asked.
Hu Xinzhu's clothes are not gorgeous, but they are all made of silk after all. His boots are stained with dust and mud, but they look like they are made of good lambskin. All in all, Hu Xinzhu's clothes are quite satisfactory, and there is nothing wrong with them, but
There's nothing outstanding about it either.
Granta was full of questions about Hu Xinzhu who suddenly appeared in front of him. He wanted to know what was going on.
But Hu Xinzhu didn't give him a chance to ask questions, and glared at Granta majestically. Hu Xinzhu said lazily: "First of all, let's talk about what happened to you, your tribe, and your precious son?"
Once the most favored young minister in front of Emperor Ying of the Blood Qin Empire, Hu Xinzhu was certainly as lazy and virtuous as a boneless caterpillar when he was lazy. But when he deliberately showed a hint of majesty, there was a hint of solemn majesty.
But Granta's whole body was shaken, as if a vat of ice water had been poured down from her head in the dead of winter. Granta's whole body trembled, and there was a chill in her bones.
Looking at Hu Xinzhu in horror, Granta had worked hard in the Gallic Empire and the business world of Vias for decades. He had also met many big shots, but no big shot had ever given him such a terrifying feeling.
Even Granta once met the top consul of a certain Vyas government from a distance, but the consul who once ordered the hanging of nearly a thousand pirates had a negligible murderous aura compared to Hu Xinzhu.
It's like the difference between a glass of water and a lake.
This is a great man who kills people profusely and wields great power!
Granta knelt down on one knee in the small carriage in awe and respectfully told Hu Xinzhu about her family affairs.
Granta and Grant, father and son, belong to a small business family. This family has a small population and is not very strong. After several generations of hard work, they finally accumulated millions.
Net worth in gold coins.
One million gold coins, in the Western Continent, is not really a big deal for those behemoths hiding behind a lot of shady scenes. But in front of ordinary people in the Western Continent, a family with one million gold coins is considered a top wealthy family.
A wealthy businessman.
Therefore, Granta has always been proud, because it was in his hands that he successfully increased the family's assets from more than 300,000 gold coins to one million gold coins. He believed that he was the leader of the family's revival, and he became
He has become the most powerful and prestigious head of the entire family, and no one dares to disobey his word.
But all this suddenly changed a few years ago. Granta's son Gram, the precious son who was studying at the Fifth University of the Gallic Empire, suddenly returned to the family. He received the support of some unknown people and unknown forces.
After he took over the family's two small shops, Graham successfully doubled the family's assets.
From then on, Grant's influence in the family became more and more important. He even directly threatened Granta.
How could Granta, who regards wealth as her life, let Graham shake her position as the head of the family? You must know that once the power of the family is handed over to Graham, Granta will inevitably hand over all the family property to his son.
!As for the family’s property, those gold coins, silver coins, copper coins, and those lovely gold and silver jewelry, how could Graham take them away?
"Unless I die, they can't touch even a little bit of my belongings!" Granta muttered angrily.
Therefore, Granta took advantage of the fact that he still had enough prestige and power in the family to force all tribesmen to hand over all the funds they had to the family treasury, and Granta's reliable confidants were stationed there.
Outside the vault door.
The family's wealth was gathered together, and only Granta had the power to use it. This strangled the lifeline of the people, and they had no choice but to obey Granta's orders. Even Granta, who was developing extremely fiercely, because most of his
The funds are all controlled by Granta. In the past two years, Granta has become very well-behaved and obedient, and he does not dare to disobey Granta in the slightest.
"But your treasury has been plundered!" Hu Xinzhu lazily hummed: "Your son, your tribe, just escaped your control. Oh, even your last pension money has been plundered.
Poor Granta, you have worked hard all your life, and this is what you get in return!"
Granta clenched the gold coins in his palm with resentment. He was filled with endless resentment towards his son, his brothers and sisters, and his nephew's daughter and other tribesmen - they took away his last possessions.
One hundred thousand gold coins, the one hundred thousand gold coins hidden in the boots, used for retirement! That is Granta’s private money scraped from between his teeth over the years!
Hu Xinzhu looked at Granta with a smile, and said slowly: "Poor old Granta, poor old guy, poor old guy who lost all his wealth! Oh, but don't you have any doubts?"
Granta raised his head in astonishment. He frowned and looked at Hu Xinzhu: "Your Majesty, Viscount, what do you suspect?"
Hu Xinzhu sneered and muttered in a low voice: "Who would go to the slums to rob? Who would know that there is a warehouse storing a large amount of gold coins in a shabby yard in the slums? Don't you have any doubts about this?"
Granta's eyes gradually became bloodshot. He clenched his fists tightly and roared lowly.
With a slow wave of his hand, he took out a slender cigar from the ring and held it in his mouth. Hu Xinzhu lit the cigar for herself, and then took a strong puff of smoke. As a result, the smoke choked her lungs, and Hu Xinzhu coughed violently.
, with his face full of snot and tears, he threw the cigar out of the car window.
Cursing Lin Qi's bad habits in a low voice, Hu Xinzhu sneered: "Think about it, your son Gram was robbed of a lot of money, but he...he left without any complaints.
! He asked to separate the family, and he secretly kept two million gold coins outside? Hmm, the guards around him are enough to kill the guards you arranged outside the vault, right?"
Granta stood up, and the low carriage forced him to bend his body and stand in front of Hu Xinzhu. He said word by word: "Yeah, it's really strange. I said, let all the tribesmen transfer all their
Liquidity funds are all stored in the family treasury, and no funds are allowed to be moved unless large transactions are required. But he actually secretly stored two million outside!"
Hu Xinzhu took out a piece of preserved fruit and threw it into his mouth, slowly chewing the slightly sour dried plums. Hu Xinzhu said calmly: "He secretly saved two million outside. If his assets suddenly increased by several million, then who would doubt it?"
What about him? If, I mean, if he stole all the family funds in your treasury, then...of course he should leave as soon as possible!"
Sighing softly, Hu Xinzhu looked at Granta whose face was covered with a faint blood and sneered.
"Dear Granta, Mr. General Manager of the Hart Family's Future Chamber of Commerce, you have been betrayed by your son."
"Anyone with some discernment can see something, but you have been deceived."
"Your son recruited guards, killed the guards in the treasury, and robbed all the wealth in the treasury. Then he proposed to separate the family!"
"From now on, he is free from restraints. He can use his family's assets to make a fortune as much as he wants. From then on, he will enjoy the food and drink, be well-dressed and well-fed, and be aloof. He will become a true nobleman, not a hypocrite who has to hide in the slums and suffer.
noble!"
Granta clenched his fists tightly and sneered: "What a good son of mine! My money, my money, all the people's money has become his money! What a good son of mine, I
What a good son!”
Hu Xinzhu shrugged her shoulders and said in a low and powerful voice: "Yes, your good son, you worked so hard to raise him!"
Granta gritted his teeth and said: "From the time he was born until he was five years old, he cost me a total of thirty-five silver coins and twenty-three copper coins!"
Hu Xinzhu shuddered. A child only spent thirty-five silver coins from birth to five years old? Even raising a dog cost more than this, right? Looking at Granta with disdain, Hu Xinzhu twisted her mouth.
, continued: "You gave him a good living environment!"
Granta gritted his teeth and said: "Of course, from when he was five years old to thirteen years old, I sent him to study in Bureilly. He cost me two gold coins and thirteen silver coins! Two gold coins, this bastard, two
Two gold coins! Two golden gold coins! He eats so much, look at his fat body, he eats too much! Two gold coins, two gold coins!"
Hu Xinzhu really wanted to ask Granta what he gave Granta to eat so that Grante could develop such a body of fat using only two gold coins in eight years! What a magical father and son.
After eight years of earning a gold coin, you can still develop a body of fat! It’s amazing!
Baring his teeth, Hu Xinzhu sneered: "You gave him good educational conditions!"
Granta burst into tears, and he cried in a low voice: "When he was studying in Berelli, I gave him thirty silver coins every year! Thirty silver coins!"
Hu Xinzhu hid her face and sighed, thirty silver coins? No wonder Graham had to fool around with Lin Qi at that time, otherwise he wouldn't be able to support himself at all!
What a charitable father!
With a long sigh, Hu Xinzhu said ferociously: "You have given him so much, yet he treats you like this!"
Granta said angrily: "Damn bastard, I should have strangled him when he was born!"
Hu Xinzhu approached Granta and whispered: "That's why you have to take revenge on him!"
Granta's eyes spurted out a flash of angry blood, and he said ferociously: "I must take revenge on him!"
Hu Xinzhu sighed with contentment. He knocked hard on the car window and said in a deep voice: "Car driver, go to the Noble House, hurry up!"
