He was supported by Guiping back to the house, then slowly returned to the Guanhai Pavilion space, and sat down at the desk.

The paleness on Ouyang's face has faded. The previous weakness and reluctance to cast spells were all disguises.

What happened today was obviously someone who wanted to cause trouble. I didn't have time to think about the situation at that time, so I just hid it out of habit.

Such a large-scale magic circle only uses less than 10% of the spiritual power. Based on his current spiritual power reserve, if all the energy in this world is spiritual power, he Ouyang should be the first person among the seven gods.

!

Alas, I will shed tears if I talk too much. If you have a lot of spiritual power, there is a use for it. Is it a blower?

Gan!

Touching his finger, Ouyang's thoughts unfolded.

It's still not sure whether the matter is directed at the Gui family or Ningguang, so he can only wait for the result. However, when he was chatting with Ningguang before, he was always concerned about a detail.

How come your family owes Beiguo Bank hundreds of millions of dollars?

There are family shops in Qingce Village, Liyue Port and Guiliyuan. The money earned from these properties is definitely enough for daily expenses.

Although judging from the accounts, the family store has been unable to make ends meet in the past two years, this is also a business matter. The old family owner occasionally sold some of the family collections and maintained well, and all those shortfalls were wiped out.

Including the ore mining rights of the giant stratiform abyss that was photographed this year, the holes were filled in with money from the collection at home.

So the "private accounts" that are not found at home exist? Does the old owner really have his own account book? But the safest space in the home is this space, and there is no point in hiding it in other places.

I also searched the study room, the bedroom, and even my own yard where Ouyang rarely returned, but no so-called account books were found.

I've looked for every possible hiding place, but I can't...

Thinking of this, Ouyang remembered that there was one place he hadn't gone to yet, Xue Lian's room.

Because of taboos, I rarely go to Xue Lian's place to avoid the embarrassment of meeting.

But now I feel like I still need to go there and ask questions.

Get up and leave Guanhai Pavilion and go to Tingzhu Garden.

On the way, Ouyang was thinking about how to speak. He didn't think that Xue Lian would hide anything intentionally. He was afraid that the old family master would have some arrangements of his own that he didn't want him to know, so Xue Lian refused to speak.

For example, a large amount of money was saved somewhere for her and her children to inherit.

If this is the case, Ouyang will be very happy. As he said before, he has no feelings for the family and is just repaying his kindness.

If this really happened, he would immediately give everything to Xue Lian and go out to sea with Beidou. Beidou should have killed big fish in the past few years, so it would be good to be a witness himself.

Moreover, the sky is huge and he really wants to see it. Unfortunately, he is carrying a prison and cannot travel far now.

After arriving at Tingzhuyuan and getting ready, Ouyang entered the room.

After the two exchanged simple polite greetings across a screen, Ouyang decided to get straight to the point.

"When I was chatting with Tianquan Ningguang two days ago, I learned that my family owed Beiguo Bank hundreds of millions of dollars, but I didn't find any clues in the account books at home, and there was no mention of Beiguo Bank in the various contracts left to me by the old family owner.

Yes, do you know what it is?"

After speaking, Ouyang looked at the screen and waited quietly for an answer.

After a moment of silence, Xue Lian seemed a little embarrassed, but she still spoke out.

"Things are a bit unspeakable... My father gambled a lot... He owed a lot of money. Debt collectors from the Winter Kingdom came to collect debts every day, so he came to me... The trouble was very fierce. My father-in-law was kind.

, gave me the money and asked me to go to Beiguo Bank to pay off the money. It was also that time that I severed ties with my father..."

Ah this...

It was not a plot that I expected to be able to fly far away, but it was such an unexpected development.

Listening to the sobbing behind the screen, Ouyang felt a little embarrassed for a moment. At this time, the maid next to Xue Lian walked around the screen and handed over a piece of paper.

This was Xue Gui's debt contract. In order to raise gambling funds, he mortgaged all his valuables again and again. After losing all, he had no money to pay back, and the interest was compounded. In the end, he owed a total of 170 million molas.

"My father-in-law asked me to keep this contract. If he comes to make trouble in the future, I can show him the contract and let him leave."

Intermittently, Ouyang looked at the list and listened to Xue Lian's story.

"I made it clear to him that day. From now on, we will not owe anything to each other. I will support my husband and raise my children in the family, respect my father-in-law, and completely cut off the relationship with him. But I didn't expect that he would come back a few days ago..."

"Um...sister-in-law, you'd better have a good rest. I just have some questions and I don't mean to blame you. Now that everything is clear, I'll take my leave."

After returning the debt contract, Ouyang left Tingzhuyuan.

Bai was so happy that he thought he had some kind of bloody backhand that was specially designed to deal with him, but it turned out to be nothing but chicken feathers.

When I came to the front hall, I saw Guiping sitting on a chair and taking a nap. He hadn't slept well for several days. He must have been very tired.

Just as he was about to walk away, Guiping woke up when he heard the sound of movement. When he saw Ouyang, he immediately stepped forward to accuse him.

"I'm sorry, sir. I'm really tired. I'll take a short rest after arranging things..."

Looking at his red eyes, Ouyang stretched out his hand to stop his rambling explanation and asked: "If you are tired, go back to your room and rest. It is not good for your health. I have nothing to do here. I just have a question and it seems that I can only ask

You are the most suitable."

"Excuse me, sir."

"You and Gui'an are the elders of the family. Do you know the old master's attitude towards Xue Lian?"

"We, the servants, don't know the exact situation. It's just that in the eyes of us, both the old master and the young master Guijin are very fond of the young mistress. Since the young master Guijin married the young mistress, Lianzhu Tianfang

None of them are going. For this reason, the old master is very happy."

"What about Xue Lian?"

"It's very good. It's also very good to us servants. I used to help manage the family's affairs. It was very organized and never made any mistakes."

"It's okay, you can go and rest after your work."

Under the sunshine, Ouyang was walking on the way to Guanhai Pavilion.

He was noncommittal about Guiping's answer. Now it was impossible to verify the purpose why the old family master was willing to give Xue Lian such a large sum of money to pay off the debt.

Judging from the fact that the old family leader is willing to inherit all the family property to himself and does not require him to pass it on to the next generation in his will, maybe it is really out of good intentions.

Yiyan Palace, Ningguang's office.

By this time Ning Guang had returned and was sitting at the table thinking about something.

The three secretaries didn't dare to disturb them. On the surface, they were all doing what they were doing seriously, but the looks they made to each other as they walked around conveyed information that only they could understand.

They had already known about the crazy news outside. As people around Ningguang, such explosive gossip made them feel like there was a feather in their hearts that kept twitching, and they were almost suffocated to death.

Oops, I really want to know what’s going on!!!

Finally, Bai Shi, who found the opportunity, came to Ning Guang's desk with the documents and reported.

"Lord Ningguang, the preliminary investigation results of Qianyan Army are out."
