A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

Chapter 231: Last Letter
Ruan Fengshan's eyes were deep as he took out a thick stack of things from the letter.

On the top was a folded house deed.

Ruan Fengshan took a look at the address on the property deed, which was a remote house.

Ruan Fengshan's eyes flickered. He didn't know what Xu Shouxian meant by asking his old butler to give him a title deed to a rather remote house after his death.

Below the property deed were more than ten pieces of letter paper filled with densely written tiny calligraphy.

When Ruan Fengshan saw the font, his heart skipped a beat. The small regular script was thin, handsome and elegant, and it was exactly the handwriting of Xu Shouxian.

Ruan Fengshan believed that Xu Shouxian would have answered the questions in the letter he left for him.

Ruan Fengshan picked up the thick letter paper and looked at it carefully.

"Fengshan, the counter manager, said: I am old and stupid, and my death is not a pity..."

"...I was promoted by the shopkeeper to be the chief accountant. For more than 20 years, I have made many mistakes..."

"...When the water is too clear, there will be no fish. So many people who are busy with petty things are not worth mentioning... The shopkeeper should not be angry about the bad debts and criticize them too much. This will easily shake the morale of the people in Yuanshun Escort Agency..."

"…and my greed started with Luan Jingfu!…"

Ruan Fengshan read page after page, and his mood changed several times!
The handwriting on the last few pages of this letter was so sloppy that it was difficult to recognize. Even though Ruan Fengshan was very familiar with Xu Shouxian's handwriting, he still had to pause and guess from time to time before he could sort out the sentences.

This shows how intensely the writer's emotions were shaken when he wrote this...

After reading it, Ruan Fengshan felt confused for a moment...

The anger and hatred he had originally felt towards Xu Shouxian had now disappeared, and instead, a feeling of sadness surged in his heart.

Since Xu Shouxian became the chief accountant, he would have been greedy for small amounts of money, but he began to embezzle on a large scale two years ago, and it was Luan Jingfu who dragged him into it little by little.

"When did your master give you this secret letter?" Ruan Fengshan asked in a deep voice.

"It was last year's New Year's Eve!"

Ruan Fengshan nodded. "It seems that this letter was written in December last year."

At the end of the letter, only the date of the twelfth lunar month was signed, but the year was not.

Last year should have been the first year that Xu Shouxian engaged in massive embezzlement. By the end of the year, he might have begun to feel fear.

Ruan Fengshan murmured to himself: "You are already scared, why don't you stop?"

Ruan Fengshan turned his head and looked at the house deed on the table.

After reading this letter, Ruan Fengshan already knew why Xu Shouxian left behind this house deed with a remote address.

A box was buried under the floor tiles of the east wing of this remote house.

Inside the box were the money that Xu Shouxian had embezzled over the past two years, the jewelry gifts given to him by Luan Jingfu, and detailed records of the account transactions between him, Wang De'an, Zhu Shicheng, and Luan Jingfu and the leaders of the six major escort teams.

The only powerful person in Yuanshun Escort Agency who had no private accounts with him was Xiao Zongting!
Among them, the account with Luan Jingfu is the largest. Compared with it, the others are insignificant!
"Luan Jingfu?"

Ruan Fengshan sighed deeply, looked at Ye Tian with a sad face, and said: "Old sir, you go back first. I will have someone put your master's body into a coffin and send him back home tonight! This is my last farewell to him."

Upon hearing this, Ye Tian knelt on the ground and shouted, "The shopkeeper will take him away. The master will die in peace!"

After crying for a while, Ye Tian stood up on his own. Tears were streaming down his old face. He clasped his fists to Ruan Fengshan, then turned and left.

Ruan Fengshan looked at Ye Tian's back, suddenly smiled bitterly, and said to himself: "Old man, the housekeeper you chose has some clear and bright character!"

Ruan Fengshan's eyes were filled with sorrow, and some past events came flooding back to his mind like a tide...

It seemed as if he had just arrived at the accounting office and met Xu Shouxian yesterday. At that time, Xu Shouxian was in his prime, not only was he good at accounting, but he also taught him everything he knew without reservation, and the two of them soon became close friends regardless of age.

In the blink of an eye, more than 20 years have passed...

People will change!

Twenty years is really too long!
"Zheng Wei!" Ruan Fengshan suddenly shouted.

Zheng Wei immediately walked in, clasped his fists and waited for orders without saying a word.

"Go to the coffin shop and order a fine coffin! Get it before the sun sets!"

"Yes."

Zheng Wei received the order and turned and walked out.

Ruan Fengshan pondered for a while, then locked the secret letter and house deed on the table into the secret compartment behind the screen, and then walked out slowly through the back door.

Ruan Fengshan stood in front of a remote courtyard wall in the backyard, and suddenly jumped out. Xu Shouxian's remote courtyard was not far away, and it was a house near Yuanshun Escort Agency.

This may also be Xu Shouxian's intentional arrangement.

Ye Tian left the back hall of the Juyi Hall and walked slowly to the door of the accounting office in the backyard. The accounting office in the backyard had been surrounded by guards. In front of the door of the hall, two guards in tight clothes stood there. When Ye Tian approached, their eyes were immediately locked on him.

"Old man, this place is surrounded and you are not allowed to enter! Get out of here!" a guard shouted at Ye Tian.

Ye Tian bowed again and said, "I have a letter from home to give to Xu Fuxian, the head of the Xu family."

"What family letter or no family letter? I told you not to come in. Get out now!"

Seeing the guard's bad attitude, Ye Tian had to retreat unwillingly, preparing to find another opportunity to hand the letter to Xu Fuxian later.

When Ye Tianfang turned around, he just saw Zheng Wei walking towards him.

Zheng Wei received an order from Ruan Fengshan and was going to the coffin shop to order a coffin, and he happened to pass by here.

Zheng Wei glanced at the door guarded by the guards and said with a smile: "Old man, how about I take the letter in for you and give it to Chief Xu."

Zheng Wei is now Ruan Fengshan’s personal servant. If he wants to go in, no guard dares to stop him?
Ye Tian hesitated for a moment, but still bowed and said, "Thank you! No need to bother you. There is no rush for this letter. I will hand it to my uncle in person after some time."

After Ye Tian finished speaking, he turned and left.

Zheng Wei looked at Ye Tian's back and spat on the ground.

About half an incense stick later, in front of a secluded wall in the backyard of Yuanshun Escort Agency, a figure suddenly jumped in from outside...

This person was obviously very skilled, his movements were as fast as a ghost, and he landed silently.

It was Ruan Fengshan who had left earlier, but this time Ruan Fengshan appeared again with a thick account book in his hand.

Ruan Fengshan rolled up the account book, held it in his hand and hid it in his sleeve. He slowly walked around the rockery and went to the back hall of the Juyi Hall from the bamboo path. Ruan Fengshan sat back in front of the desk, spread out the account book and began to read it carefully.

Ruan Fengshan looked at the account book for several cups of tea before he suddenly closed it and sighed!
In the past few years, he was promoted to the leader of the branch of the Filthy Blood Sect and devoted most of his energy to the Filthy Blood Sect. He really neglected the management of the Yuanshun Escort Agency.

Especially since he introduced Luan Jingfu to be the chief of the escort agency, now it seems that it was a real failure!
Although Luan Jingfu is brave and can fight to the death between life and death, such a person will also be greedy and reckless!

Too reckless and not sophisticated enough!
Ruan Fengshan stood up and paced back and forth in front of the desk.

"Luan Jingfu?"

Ruan Fengshan's face was somewhat uncertain. Luan Jingfu deserved to die for the bad debts of Yuanshun Escort Agency, but on the side of the Xian Gu branch of the Filthy Blood Sect, Luan Jingfu was definitely a brave general!
He and Wei Yutian are his right-hand men and left-hand men. It would be a pity to kill them!
