The Three Kingdoms' Need for a Master

Chapter 319 Escape (Two in One)

The servant promised, "I'll go right away."

Qiao Shishi watched the servant leave, feeling a little bit pained.

Because he had a lot of money, he started a business with someone last year.

To put it bluntly, this business is not a legitimate business, it is just giving money to people for profit.

It's a way to make quick money.

After Qiao Shiyi received several benefits, he saved the money he got each time, or shared some with the servants who knew the situation.

As for the money earned by the furniture factory, not to mention the money earned in the past few years, even the money made within half a year this year has been put in by him.

After all, it is real money, a huge profit.

Anyway, Qin Fan never asked about the furniture factory's money.

Otherwise, no matter how courageous Qiao Shishi is, how could he dare to do this.

After walking back and forth twice, Qiao Shishi shook his head and said to himself, "I should just come and see. Nothing will happen."

Qin Fan and Qiao Chaorong's carriage arrived in front of the furniture factory.

Qiao Chaorong got off the carriage and said with a smile, "It's actually in this place, what did you buy?"

Qin Fan smiled and said, "Xiao Qiao should have some impressions, but you didn't pay attention."

"Butler Qin, miss."

Qiao Shishi walked out quickly from the gate, and said with a smile, but his heart skipped a beat.

"Joe Eleven?" Qiao Chaorong's eyes lit up, and he said with a light smile, "I thought you were going, but I didn't expect you to come here."

Qiao Shishi said in a low voice: "When I first came here, I told Miss Er about it."

Qiao Chaorong didn't ask any further questions, and said calmly, "Lead the way, I'll go in and have a look."

"Hey."

Qiao Shishi asked the servant to open the door.

"Miss, please."

The scale of the development of the furniture factory has not expanded much, because there is only such a house, but the number of people and employees in it has increased a lot.

"How many people are working?" Qiao Chaorong asked as he walked.

"More than fifty people." Qiao Shishi said with a smile: "They all live here, food and housing are included here, and they are paid every month. Everyone praises the housekeeper for being kind."

Qiao Chaorong turned her head and glanced at Qin Fan who was following behind, "There are also many people in the mansion, let them come."

Knowing that she wanted to save money, Qin Fan explained: "Most of them are craftsmen, so there is no way to save money."

"Who said you need to save money?" Qiao Chaorong blushed slightly, and gave him a blank look.

After walking around, Qiao Chaorong just looked around casually.

Seeing so many people and such a large scale, there is always a smile on his face.

Going back after reading it, Qiao Shishi was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Qiao Chaorong say, "Go and bring me the account book."

Qiao Shishi was stunned for a moment, and then left in response.

Qin Fan pulled her and sat down on the stone table.

"Is Madam planning to take back all the money here?"

Qiao Chaorong said, "You don't want to?"

Qin Fan said: "You and my family, why don't you want to? I just think that if the money is here, it will be convenient for them to expand their operations and scale."

Qiao Chaorong asked in surprise, "Do you still understand this on Eleven?"

Qin Fan said: "He has been doing this all these years, I think he is doing well."

"How much money was transferred, have you seen it?"

"There is still a lot of money." Qin Fan said: "Now there are several shops, and there are two shops in Yuzhang. If I have no plans to expand, there should be a lot of shops in Yuzhang."

Qiao Chaorong said with some resentment: "You didn't tell me about such an important matter. You let an outsider manage it for so many years, so I can't take care of it?"

Qin Fan hurriedly apologized, and Qiao Chaorong turned from grief to joy.

"If these shops are counted, then we should have a lot of shops, and another restaurant will open soon. If this is the case, then funding a college is not a problem."

Qin Fan nodded, "The matter of the college has to be discussed in detail, such as food expenses and tuition fees. Whether or not to charge them, or how to charge them, is a big problem."

"Sister Xu and Sister Zhaoji have already thought about it," Qiao Chaorong said with a light smile, "You need to think about it."

Qin Fan smiled and said: "It's fine if it's done. These talented men and women have done a great job. In the future, when our side is completely stabilized, the scale of the college will have to expand. I think they will be the principals and vice principals. "

"headmaster?"

"Oh, that's what the dean means."

Qiao Chaorong's words like the dean's are a bit strange, but it's not difficult to explain in context.

Qiao Chaorong smiled lightly: "If it wasn't for your wife, I would also like to participate, to contribute to the construction of Lujiang County. But I don't have so much energy now."

Qin Fan patted her on the arm, "Don't be too tired, maybe it's good to manage a little bit, and take care of everything by yourself, if you're exhausted, I won't let you take care of everything."

"It's very easy." Qiao Chaorong said softly: "When you came back last time, you still had time to play cards, so we played often. It's not really tiring."

At this time, Qiao Shixi came over with a yellowed ledger.

"Miss, the accounts are all here."

Qiao Chaorong reached out to take it and started to read it.

After flipping through for a while, Qiao Chaorong said, "So the total profit over these years is more than 5 taels?"

"so much?"

Qin Fan actually read it, but he only looked at the accounts randomly, but he didn't look at the total profit.

Speaking of which, he is not very responsible.

"The total profit is so much, but there are still some necessary expenses to be taken care of. For these, after so many years, it is actually not too little."

Qiao Shishi pointed to one place and said, "I will note the details here."

Qiao Chaorong looked at it, and sure enough, she saw that the expenditure account was clearly written on it, which was very clear.

She flipped through two pages, directly to the end, and saw that the total expenditure was 1 taels.

"So much?" Qiao Chaorong frowned slightly.

Qiao Shixi said anxiously: "Actually, it's not too much. The main expenditure is still on building new stores."

Qiao Chaorong carefully reviewed the expenditures of several large sums, and then closed the ledger.

"Qiao Shishi, you are doing very well, I didn't see that you have this ability."

Qiao Shishi smiled and said, "It's the housekeeper who taught me well."

"Don't call me the butler butler." Qiao Chaorong said, "Call me aunt, or master."

"Here!"

Joe Eleven replied loudly,

Qin Fan waved his hand and said, "You can call him whatever you want, there are not so many rules, and I quite like the name butler."

As if remembering something, Qiao Chaorong blushed slightly and gave him a look.

"I did the math just now, and the total repayment interest is nearly 4 taels. Keep a small change as an emergency, and send the rest of the money back to the Qin Mansion."

Sweat dripped from Qiao Shishi's forehead, he gritted his teeth and said, "Here."

Qiao Chaorong didn't pay attention to his performance, and said indifferently: "You have done a good job. You will continue to manage here in the future, but you have to report to me how much money you have every month. I will tell you about the future."

Qiao Shishi said with a bitter face, "Here."

Qiao Chaorong noticed his expression this time, and couldn't help but turn slightly cold, and said, "Why, you still don't want to?"

Qiao Shishi was so frightened that he knelt on the ground with a thud, "I dare not."

"Get up." Qiao Chaorong said softly, "Don't just kneel, it's just talking to you, there is no other meaning."

Qiao Shishi was sweating profusely.

Qiao Chaorong shook her head, "We're going back first, you send more than 4 silver to the mansion tonight or tomorrow."

"Here."

Send Qiao Chaorong and Qin Fan away.

Qiao Shiyi slumped to the ground, shaking his whole body.

"What should I do? What can I do?" Qiao Shishi paled, "The money can only be calculated at the end of the year. Where can I get the money?"

After staying for a while, he hurriedly called a few confidant servants.

"How much money do you have?" Qiao Shixi asked calmly.

Several people looked at each other, seemingly puzzled.

"Emergency." Qiao Shishi said the matter, "There is no way now, this hole must be filled."

A chubby servant said: "Boss, how much money do we earn? How do we fill it?"

"Don't you have any other money?" Qiao Shixi said anxiously: "If we borrow from other people, let's pay back the money first, and then we can earn benefits from the money on my friend, and we can have a good relationship with the aboveboard. Take it, when the time comes to pay back the money, it's all our money."

All the servants looked at each other without speaking.

Qiao Shixi said angrily: "I will take you with me to make money, and when I need you, is this the attitude?"

"Boss," a servant couldn't help but said, "You don't even think about it, how much can we borrow? Everyone is poor, and it's only recently that we get along better with you. Then the people you know and relatives, how can they be rich?" Huh? Even if we borrow it, we are the big ones, so how can we make up for that little money?"

Qiao Shishi's face turned green and pale, and he remained silent with a gloomy face.

The fat servant from before said: "Boss, actually I have a solution."

"What way?" Qiao Shixi glanced at him.

The fat servant said, "Run away."

After leaving the house that was a furniture factory, Qiao Chaorong pulled Qin Fan and quickly got into the carriage.

"How do you go so fast?"

After the two sat down, Qiao Chaorong said with a serious face: "Qiao Shishi may have a problem."

Qin Fan wondered, "What's the problem?"

Qiao Chaorong shook her head, "I don't know, I just feel that there is something wrong with his attitude, and when he speaks, he is evasive, obviously there are ghosts."

Qin Fan held her arm in his hand, and said with a smile, "Have you thought too much? He is also an old man of your Qiao family, and he has been with me for so many years. What's the problem?"

Qiao Chaorong frowned, "I can't tell you the details, it's really strange, I always feel weird."

Qin Fan leaned against the wall, "Is there a problem with the account book? Or is there a problem with character? Didn't you check the account book just now?"

"How about this," Qiao Chaorong said, "4 taels is not a small amount. I'll send someone to watch him later to see if he has acted rashly. If he doesn't, forget it. Just pretend nothing happened."

"Whatever you say, so be it."

Qin Fan didn't think it was necessary.

But it was just this feeling that almost made Qin Fan's jaw drop.

As night came, Qin Fan was preparing to go back to Qiao Chaorong's room to rest.Then a guard hurried over.

"You said Qiao Shishi and the others wanted to escape?" Qin Fan asked in a daze.

"The salute has been packed, and the carriage has been prepared. There is no explanation other than escape."

Qiao Chaorong sneered and said, "I said he has a problem, and indeed he has a problem. If he didn't bring the money this afternoon, there must be something wrong with the money."

Qin Fan nodded, "What about others?"

The guard said: "I didn't dare to catch it. Now I should head towards the city gate. I sent people to follow."

"Prepare the horse."

Qin Fan called Aunt Qing, and three guards, rode to the north gate with Qiao Chaorong on horseback.

"Boss, can we really leave the city at such a late night?" A group of people crowded into a carriage, and one of the servants asked nervously.

If you can see clearly, you will find that Jia Ding's hands are shaking non-stop.

"It's worthless." Qiao Shishi said calmly, "If I dare to take this step, will I not be able to get out of the city?"

No one dared to speak, only the sound of breathing rose and fell in the crowded carriage.

Qiao Shixi breathed a sigh of relief, and said in a relaxed tone: "Don't be afraid, I know the man who guards the city, and I will give him some benefits. There will definitely be no problems, and he will not be discovered."

Everyone was silent, Qiao Shixi shook his head secretly, and regretted being fooled in his heart.

But when he thought that he could not afford the money, and that the money would be his own afterwards, his heart became active again.

"Stop, stop, where are you going at night?" A voice came, with an unhappy tone, "The city gates are closed, what do you mean?"

Qiao Shixi took a deep breath and jumped out of the carriage.

"Chen Hu, it's me." Qiao Shishi walked up with a smile on his face, "Qiao Shishi."

"Yo, Master Qiao." Chen Hu was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile, "Why are you leaving the city now?"

Joe nodded at eleven, and handed over a bag of silver without any trace.

Chen Hu took it and hung it on his waist while it was dark.

"Master Qiao is still so busy at night?" Chen Hu led Qiao Shishi to the city gate, "There will always be times when this money can't be made, so you have to rest when you should."

Qiao Shishi smiled slightly, and said: "There is no way, the master is keeping a close eye on it, and it is estimated that after this year, next year will be easier."

Chen Hu was very sensible, "Then I won't delay Master Qiao's schedule, come on, open the city gate."

In fact, you can walk from the small city cave, but because of the carriage, you can only open the big city gate.

Amidst the order, the heavy city gate creaked.

Qiao Shishi let out a long breath, motioned for the carriage to follow, and then clasped his fists and said, "Brother Chen, please have a drink when you come back."

Chen Hu grinned, "Master Qiao, please go."

Qiao Shishi waved his hand, seeing the carriage passing the city gate, he felt completely relaxed.

Suddenly, a clear sound of horseshoes sounded behind him. There were few people at night, and the sound of horseshoes was especially loud.

Both Chen Hu and Qiao Shishi had expressions on their faces.

Qiao Shishi suppressed his panic and said, "Who would dare to ride a horse so recklessly at night? If Chen Hu is heard to report this, it will be a big responsibility."

Chen Hu greened his face, "You bastard, I want to see who is so daring."

After speaking, he cupped his fists at Qiao Shishi and went on his own.

Qiao Shishi waited for Chen Hu to leave with a few people, and didn't dare to stay longer, so he hurried to catch up with the carriage and said, "Turn the corner quickly, don't take the pipeline, go to the small road. Go to the west of the city."
