The next day, Yuan Zeyu and his son were sitting in the main hall of the Yuan residence with smiles on their faces. Meanwhile, He Quanxin brought He Yiming and his brother in.
After greeting each other, they took their seats.
In these few days, He Quanxin and Yuan Zhencheng had entered the city together to deal with the aftermath. Today, they had finally finished the initial preparations.
After arriving at the main hall, Yuan Zhencheng immediately waved his sleeve and chased all the servants out.
He smiled and said, "Nephew Yiming, Nephew Yitian, we have gained a lot from entering the city this time."
Just by looking at his extremely happy smile, one could tell that he wasn't exaggerating at all.
Seven days ago, when He Yiming had just returned to the Yuan residence, both Yuan Zeyu and Yuan Zhencheng addressed him as Master He. They did not dare to call him by his name.
He Yiming did not say anything at that time. However, He Yiming felt that this was inappropriate. He followed his uncle's wishes and continued to address Yuan Zhencheng as uncle and nephew. However, although the seniority was not messed up, there was a subtle change in the tone between the two of them.
Just like now, although Yuan Zhencheng kept calling him nephew Yiming, his expression and attitude did not look like he was treating a junior at all. He was even more respectful than Yuan Zeyu.
He Yiming smiled faintly and said, "Congratulations, Uncle Jian."
Yuan Zhencheng laughed heartily as he recounted his experience in the county city.
After the servants and diners of the Fan residence spread the news of Fan Shuhe's death and the disappearance of Lu Xinwen and Fan Haori, the entire Fan residence fell into a panic.
At this moment, Yuan Zhencheng and He Quanxin led the experts of the Yuan family into the city. The first thing they did was to control the only remaining member of the Fan family, Fan Haoyue.
This foppish son could not be compared to his father and brother. Once he received the news, it was as if the sky had collapsed. He did not care about gathering the remaining forces of the Fan family. Instead, he entered the inner cellar of the residence and packed up all the valuables, wanting to escape.
However, since the two pillars of the Fan family were already dead, the rest of the servants and diners had no one to restrain them. A few daring and black-hearted people actually set their sights on him. Just as he was about to escape, he was stopped halfway.
Although Fan Haoyue had a good father and a good brother, his strength was still weak. He was only at Level 6 Internal Force. When he was surrounded by a few second-rate diners, his legs trembled and he couldn't even speak properly.
Coincidentally, Yuan Zhengcheng arrived at the Fan family with his men. Upon seeing the situation, he immediately rescued Fan Haoyue and took over the entire Fan family in his name.
While the Fan Clan was without a leader, the Yuan Clan was able to smoothly take control of all of the Fan Clan's assets. Just yesterday, Fan Haoyue had signed a contract with Yuan Chengcheng, selling all of the Fan Clan's assets to the Yuan Clan for a price of one thousand taels of silver.
A thousand taels of silver was a huge sum to an ordinary person, but to the entire Fan family, it was like a cabbage among cabbages.
Fan Haoyue naturally knew this, but even his life was in the Yuan Clan's hands.
As the saying goes, one is meat on the chopping block. To be able to keep one's life was already a great deal.
After signing the contract, Fan Haoyue took the thousand taels of silver and left Zhengtong County City. From then on, his whereabouts were unknown.
As a result, not only did the Yuan Clan protect all of their assets, but they also took the opportunity to obtain all of the Fan Clan's assets. It could be said that they obtained unexpected benefits.
Of course, after seeing the Yuan Clan's gains this time, a few of the great clans in Zhengtong County City were very jealous.
However, even though they were envious, they sent people to congratulate them at almost the same time. Every aristocratic family presented a considerable amount of gifts and stated that this time, the Fan family deserved to be punished. The Fan family's property should indeed belong to the Yuan family.
When He Yiming heard this, he looked in the direction of his uncle. He Yiming nodded slightly at him. He Yiming couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Those clans were able to express their stance because they had heard of Lu Xinwen's fate.
This Bloody Butcher had once exterminated a thousand-year-old clan in Jinlin Kingdom with his own strength. No one could control such a bloody method. All of the clans were extremely wary of this person.
This time, the Bloody Butcher had actually been defeated by the Yuan Clan. Furthermore, it was said that he had already died. Under such circumstances, those clans naturally didn't dare to have any ideas about the Yuan Clan anymore.
After explaining everything in detail, Yuan Zhencheng's expression became serious. He said, "Nephew Yiming, Brother He, Nephew Yitian, after a few days of checking, we have roughly calculated the Fan Clan's assets." He paused and said, "Although the Fan Clan is a newly risen small clan, in the process of its rise, it was ruthless and ruthless. It exterminated many small clans and seized many assets by force. After a rough calculation, the total value of those assets is about seventy thousand taels of gold. "
He Yiming's expression changed slightly. Seventy thousand taels of gold was a huge sum. Even with the current He Clan, it would be impossible for them to take out such a huge sum.
Yuan Zhencheng said seriously, "I have already discussed it with my father. The reason why we were able to have such gains this time is all because of the three of you. If it wasn't for Brother He and my two nephews, not to mention our Yuan Clan taking over the Fan Clan's assets, I'm afraid even our skin and bones would have been swallowed by them. "
He Quanxin frowned slightly and said, "Brother Yuan, you're treating me as an outsider by saying this. Your father and my father have been friends for decades. Our Taicang He Clan and your Jinlin Yuan Clan have also had business dealings for decades. If the Yuan Clan is in trouble, we can't just sit by and do nothing. "
Yuan Zhencheng nodded deeply and said gratefully, "Brother He, I understand everything you said. However, friendship is friendship, business is business. These are two different matters. We can't mix them up no matter what. "He stood up and took out something that looked like a document and handed it to He Quanxin.
He Quanxin flipped through it and his expression changed slightly. He said, "Brother Yuan, this gift is too valuable. We can't accept it."
He Yiming and his brother looked at each other. Their hearts were filled with astonishment. They really didn't know what Yuan Zhengcheng had taken out. Even He Quanxin, who had always been steady, had become like this.
Yuan Zhencheng smiled and said, "Brother He, this is the result of my discussion with my father. If you don't accept it, then we really don't have the face to see anyone."
He Quanxin still shook his hand and refused to let go no matter what.
Yuan Zeyu coughed softly and said, "Nephew Quanxin, I wrote a letter for you to pass to Brother He. At the same time, these things are also gifts for Brother He. Please pass them on."
He Quanxin was startled and couldn't help but smile bitterly. Since Old Master Yuan had said so, he couldn't refuse. After all, he wasn't He Wude himself. He couldn't overstep this hurdle.
He Yiming was curious. He waved his hand and the gift list on the table instantly flew up and landed lightly in his hand.
Although this move was simple, to control essential Qi that had left one's body was something that only Xiantian experts could do.
Although Lin Taoli could use the Xiantian handprint in the past to stimulate his inner strength, he could only cause some damage. He couldn't use essential Qi so skillfully from a distance.
For a moment, Yuan Zeyu and the others stopped talking. They looked at He Yiming with envy.
Actually, He Quanxin was also well aware that it was not his own doing that allowed him to receive such an unexpected gift. If it weren't for this nephew of his, he would have to thank the heavens if he could get back the Yuan Family's promise.
He Yiming flipped open the gift list. Even with his composure, he couldn't help but be moved.
On the list were fifty thousand taels of gold, various precious toys, twenty percent of the shares of the Fan family's shop in Jinlin County City, twenty percent of the annual profits from the transactions with the He family. Even the Fan family's courtyard in Jinlin County City was under He Yiming's name as the He family's residence in Jinlin County City.
After being stunned for a while, He Yiming looked at Yuan Zhencheng with a strange expression. Unknowingly, he already owned a large residence in Zhengtong County City. Since this residence was the former residence of the Fan family, it shouldn't be too small.
Apart from that, the Yuan family had previously promised ten thousand taels of gold and ten percent of the annual profits from the private transactions with the He family. But now, it was a full fifty thousand taels of gold, twenty percent of the profits, and twenty percent of the shares from the Fan family's businesses.
Although He Yiming wasn't a businessman and didn't know how much this was worth, he and Uncle He Quanxin both knew that this gift was too valuable.
Not to mention anything else, just twenty percent of the shares from the Fan family's businesses was an extremely hot potato.
This thing looked delicious, and the profits would definitely flow into their pockets every year. But how could twenty percent of the shares be so easily obtained?
Once they agreed, the Yuan family could openly look for them if they had any problems in the future.
Therefore, it wasn't easy for them to decide whether or not to take this twenty percent of the shares.
However, the other party had already given them fifty thousand taels of gold. No matter how thick-skinned they were, they wouldn't be able to reject this twenty percent of the shares.
Furthermore, the profits from this twenty percent of the shares were definitely not a small amount. If they really accepted it, then the He family's annual smuggling business would become dispensable. For the He family's foothold in Taicang County, it would be an incomparably huge benefit.
Suddenly, He Yiming felt that something was off. He raised his head and happened to see He Quanxin's gaze. This gaze was actually filled with inquiry.
He Yiming immediately understood what his uncle meant. It seemed that his uncle was also hesitant. He should have seen through the trick, but when he thought about how the He family was developing at a high speed and needed a large amount of money to support it, he couldn't make up his mind, so he wanted him to make the decision.
He Yiming instantly felt a headache coming on as he complained inwardly.
Uncle, you're the elder. Now that you're not making the decision, you're giving me a look and letting me make the decision. Aren't you making things difficult for me?
He muttered to himself for a moment and suddenly saw his eldest brother, He Yitian.
Although He Yitian was sitting steadily in the chair, he seemed to be looking down and didn't move at all. However, He Yiming could hear his uneasiness from his slightly agitated heartbeat.
He Yiming suddenly remembered the promise he had made. He Yiming immediately made a decision in his heart.
Once he made the decision, his entire person seemed to become relaxed.
Of course, he understood that the Yuan family had handed the twenty percent shares to the He family only because they wanted to borrow the He family's martial power to protect these shops.
If it was the He family in the past, they naturally wouldn't have this ability. However, since he was an Innate Expert, the situation was naturally different.
Since everyone already knew that he was a Xiantian Realm expert, there was no need for him to hide it anymore. Since that was the case, he would take the twenty percent shares.
With that thought, his heart was instantly filled with heroism, and his entire temperament seemed to have changed slightly.
"Uncle, since Grandfather Yuan and Uncle He have said so, then we'll respectfully accept it." He Yiming's face revealed a trace of a smile as he spoke calmly.
He Yiming was stunned. He didn't expect that He Yiming would actually agree so easily.
If it was in the past, he might have rejected or persuaded him. However, ever since He Yiming defeated Lu Xinwen, there was a subtle change in his mentality.
Once He Yiming made a decision, he actually couldn't think of opposing it in his heart.
With a bitter smile, He Yiming said, "Alright, since it's Uncle and Brother Yuan's good intentions, then I'll accept it on behalf of my father."
Yuan Zeyu and Yuan Zhencheng looked at each other and smiled. They also heaved a sigh of relief. It was so difficult to give a gift, and they were also filled with emotions. However, they were finally relieved that they had given it away. Moreover, they also knew that in Jinlin's Zhengtong County City, there were many aristocratic families that had no connections. In fact, they also wanted to establish a good relationship with the He Family. As long as they could establish a good relationship with He Yiming, such a young Xiantian expert, they would be willing to hand over even the most valuable gift with both hands.
With a light cough, Yuan Zeyu's gaze swept across the He Family's three people and said, "Nephew He, since our two families have a business partnership, and you have property and related businesses in Zhengtong County, then I have a suggestion that I hope you can consider."
He Yiming hurriedly sat up straight and said, "Please guide me, Uncle."
Yuan Zeyu smiled and stroked his long beard, saying, "I have two granddaughters. One of them, Yuan Liwen, has been exceptionally intelligent since young and is well-educated. If you don't mind, let her go to Taicang with One Day."
He Yiming's eyes instantly widened. He opened his mouth and didn't know whether to laugh or cry, saying, "Uncle, you may not know, but One Day is already married. His wife is one of the prominent families in Taicang County, the daughter of the Cheng Family, Cheng Yanli. "
When Yuan Zeyu brought up this matter, Yuan Zhencheng's expression instantly changed. He was first startled, then immediately understood his father's intention. He couldn't help but frown slightly, extremely dissatisfied with his father's arrangement.
This wasn't just because Yuan Liwen was Yuan Zeyu's granddaughter, but because Yuan Zhencheng had thought too much.
If this matter was really settled, and He Yiming liked Yuan Liwen deeply, there would be a day when someone in the first branch would become restless.
Fortunately, He Yiming's rejection made him feel much more at ease.
Yuan Zeyu's face didn't have the slightest bit of awkwardness. He said in a low voice, "This is fine. Since One Day already has a legal wife, then let Liwen be a concubine."
He Yiming's expression tightened, and he said, "Uncle, this is not appropriate. Absolutely not."
Yuan Zhencheng also advised, "Yes, father. Since Brother He is unwilling, we shouldn't force him."
As if he didn't hear them, Yuan Zeyu said, "I have another suggestion. I have another granddaughter, named Yuan Lixun. I want to give her to Yiming as a concubine. What do you think?"
This time, he bypassed He Yiming and directly asked He Yiming.
He Yiming and Yuan Zhencheng opened their mouths at the same time, but when they glanced at He Yiming, they immediately closed their mouths tightly. They actually didn't say a word and assumed a posture of waiting for him to decide.
He Yiming sighed in his heart. Yuan Zhencheng's way of doing things was fine, but even his uncle was like this. From this, it could be seen that after he ascended to the Xiantian Realm, even his uncle didn't dare to make decisions for him. But he didn't know if his parents' attitude towards him would change when they knew.
Raising his head, he looked at everyone. Among them, the one that moved his heart the most was his eldest brother's pleading gaze.
His heart warmed. In comparison, his eldest brother's change was undoubtedly the smallest.
Taking a deep breath, He Yiming's face actually flushed a rare shade of red, and he said, "Uncle, this nephew greets Miss Lixun. Uncle, please make the decision."
He Yiming's expression was extremely strange. Although he was known as the He Family's martial fanatic and didn't care much about family matters, a martial fanatic wasn't the same as an idiot. When he saw He Yiming's expression and actions, he already understood his intentions.
He shook his head slightly and wanted to criticize him, but when he thought about how this nephew in front of him was already a Xiantian Realm expert, what right did he have to criticize him? Could he criticize him for being lustful?
He sighed softly and turned around. Suddenly, he saw that Yuan Zhengcheng's eyes were filled with surprise and joy. He Yiming's heart couldn't help but tremble. Could it be that he didn't know about this? Looking at the nonchalant Yuan Zeyu, He Yiming suddenly understood.
These few days, Yuan Zhengcheng was so busy that his feet didn't touch the ground. How could he have such thoughts? It seemed that everything was manipulated by this old man behind the scenes.
Although He Yiming was somewhat dissatisfied, he still said, "Since that's the case, thank you for your kindness, uncle."
He Yiming smiled slightly and said, "Thank you, uncle. Since that's the case, when we return this time, we will travel together with Miss Lixun and Miss Liwen."
He Yiming was startled. His lips trembled a few times, but when he saw that although He Yiming's face was full of smiles, his straight body seemed to emit an unshakable sense of determination, his heart couldn't help but tremble. The words that he wanted to say were immediately swallowed back into his stomach.
At this moment, the only emotion in his heart was that He Yiming's aura was getting stronger and stronger. Even he had a feeling that he didn't dare to disobey. I really don't know how Second Brother's son was born. But he's an irreplaceable treasure of my He Family …
