Xiao Qiao was moved by his words. If it were just her, she would not be willing to receive Fu Tian’s reward. After staying in the village for a long time, no matter men, women, young and old, she would be more straightforward and happy. Since she regarded Fu Tian as a friend, she shouldn’t have asked for a small favor.

But now this return is related to the future of the entire village, and it is difficult for her not to be moved.

People in the village are not born to be bandits. In addition to the boss and military advisor, there are only 32 people in the village, including children abandoned by their parents, women persecuted by the government tyrants, and like her, they have no relatives and simply stay in the village.

Everyone lives together just to have a place to stay. If there is another way out, no need to be a bandit, which is a great thing for everyone.

After hesitating for a moment, Xiao Qiao nodded and agreed, "Although it's a waste of money, everyone has already decided to do some other business. Mr. Fu has indeed helped us a lot. No matter what requests we have in the future, Xiao Qiao will be on call."

Chang Xi followed behind and nodded vigorously, "Xiao Qiao is right, I'm the one!"

Fu Tian: "..."

When he saw Chang Xi echoing with a silly expression, he wanted to laugh, but when he saw Xiao Qiao's expression was firm, he did not refuse.

Fu Tian was willing to accept their rewards, and Xiao Qiao's expression relaxed a lot. Several people sat for a while, and after Fu Tian had lunch, they went to the study with him.

Zhou Chuanqing sent them to the door. He was about to turn back, but was blocked by Chu Xiangtian who was following behind.

Zhou Chuanqing couldn't figure out why he was going crazy again, "Is there anything wrong?"

Chu Xiangtian looked at him with his chin and narrowed his eyes, "Don't you settle the score, don't you go and help?"

Zhou Chuanqing shook the folding fan in his hand and said with a smile: "I am a good scholar, how can I do the accounting office?"

With a sneer, Chu Xiangtian looked at him with a contempt, "You eat and drink here for free and get two taels of silver every month. Now that the Fu family has encountered a change, can you tell me if you don't help?"

Zhou Chuanqing: "…”

"Fu Tian at least called you "Brother, are you the one who is the eldest brother?"

"…"

"Yeye." Zhou Chuanqing's scalp was numb by his eyes. He pulled the folding fan and strode to catch up with the people who were walking away. "I'll help."

Chu Xiangtian was satisfied and followed him at the end.

In the study, Chang Xi moved out the big wooden box. Fu Tian and Xiao Qiao divided half of the books. After confirming the division of labor, they began to calculate.

Later, Zhou Chuanqing moved a small half from Fu Tian, ​​found a vacant seat and started to calculate. There was only the rustling sound of pages turning and the striking sound of beads in the study.

The three of them slept and slept for three days. Except for the evening break, Dai Fu even brought the meal to the study. Chang Xi and Chu Xiangtian couldn't help with the accounts, so they sorted out the books that were piled up on the side after reading.

On the evening of the third day, after reading the last account book in his hand, Fu Tian rubbed his sore wrist and let out a heavy breath, "I finally finished it."

"There are all problems there." Zhou Chuanqing sat on the chair and walked around for three days. No matter how good the demeanor was, he couldn't maintain it. He stood up staggeringly, "I went back to change my clothes first."

The most energetic among the three is Xiao Qiao. She has good physical strength and flexible brains. She has a good plan and is very flexible. She has no energy for her in the past three days. Seeing that they were hollowed out, she put the book of no problem back into the box by herself. She moved the box back to place it, clapped her hands and said easily: "I'll go back to change my clothes, too."

Fu Tian: "…" It is worthy of being from Xishan Village.

Chang Xi followed Xiao Qiao away, with only three people left in the study. Fu Tian asked Dai Fu to inform the kitchen to prepare supper, and then leaned against the table and rubbed his hands.

"Give me your hand."

Chu Xiangtian walked over and squatted in front of him, looking up at him.

The squatting man had handsome facial features, his sword eyebrows were slanted, his eyes were like bright stars, his thin lips were slightly pursed, and he curled upwards a gentle curve.

His face was a bit fierce, but his expression was extremely soft.

Fu Tian obediently reached out and asked in a low voice: "What are you doing?"

Take out the ointment from your arms, dig a piece and apply it on his hand, "Help you rub it, it won't hurt if it is rubbed open."

Blinking slowly, Fu Tian looked at the bandit leader with his head down, feeling his slightly rough hands wrapping his hands, and rubbing his fingertips with thin calluses on the back of his hand, sour and sour, just like his mood at the moment.

Chu Xiangtian carefully massaged his wrists. It was rare that he had no charming thoughts, so he massaged the young master in a regular manner. He was afraid that he would hurt him if he had too much force, so he was worried, "If it hurts too much, he would make a sound."

Fu Tian nodded, remembering that he couldn't see it, and then said "yes" softly.

It took him almost half a quarter of an hour to massage his hands. There was a faint fragrance of medicine left on his palms. Fu Tian moved his fingers, and the feeling of stiffness and soreness was gone, much more comfortable than before.

"Thank you." Fu Tian thanked him in a low voice, remembering that he sent him back from the study last time, and probably gave him a massage like this. He bit the soft flesh on the inside of his cheeks, Fu Tian couldn't help it and asked hesitantly: "Why are you so kind to me?"

If he did a favor just because he was kidnapped, then what he had done before should be enough.

"Why are there so many why?" Chu Xiangtian patted his head, smiling very happily, "I just like you, so I treat you well."

Fu Tian stared at him with surprise, like a frightened little rabbit, with his ears standing up high, trying to tell the truth about the falsehood of his words.

Chu Xiangtian smiled, and saw his frightened expression on his face, pinched his cheek with two fingers, "Can you play with, go, go back and change your clothes and go for dinner."

"Oh." Fu Tian, ​​who was a little confused, followed him obediently.

Chu Xiangtian looked back at him and said "tsk" regretfully. It seems that the time is not yet. Even a joke can scare the young master.

After changing clothes, several people went to the main hall to have dinner. Fu Tian specifically ordered the kitchen to make more sumptuous. When they passed by, the Eight Immortals table was already full of dishes.

Fu Tian asked them to sit down, and the maid stood by waiting with a basin and a towel on her back. Xiao Qiao and Chang Xi were not used to such a scene. There were no rules for eating in the village, and someone was serving him, but the two were a little restrained. Fu Tian simply asked the servants to retreat, and the few of them ate casually while chatting.

The main thing is to revolve around the account books. They have settled a whole box of books, including five shops in the problem, two of them in Shangming Town, and the other three are in the towns around Shangming Town.

Shangming Town’s accounts were made very detailed. They calculated them and did not find any problems at the beginning. However, after going to the warehouse to adjust the accounts of previous years, they found that the purchase expenditures in recent years were abnormally high, and the price of grain bought and sold was even more outrageous.

The prices of the Fu family rice and grain shop are adjusted at any time according to the local market conditions, but the price adjusted by the manager must have a document and a seal stamped with the owner. Fu Tian found out the archives of the past years and found that the document for the adjustment was stamped with Wen Boli's private seal. That is, from the year of price adjustment, the shop's profit gradually decreased and eventually turned into a loss.

The price suddenly rises, and there must be something wrong with it.

"I'm going to go to Shangming Town to have a look." Fu Tian put down his chopsticks and wiped his mouth.

"I'll go with you." Chu Xiangtian sat next to him, and he didn't hesitate when he heard this. The young master had just taken over these businesses, so he could have a helper when he followed him.

"Then I'll go together, too." Xiao Qiao thought for a while and said, "I can't hide anything in the accounts."

Xiao Qiao made a sound, and Chang Xi naturally wanted to follow him, and in the end, Zhou Chuanqing was left alone without saying anything. Chu Xiangtian and Chang Xi turned their heads and looked at him calmly, with a look on their faces saying, "Why don't you go, everyone is gone?"

Zhou Chuanqing: “…”

With a light cough, Zhou Chuanqing said, "That's me."

After getting a satisfactory answer, Chu Xiangtian and Chang Xi withdrew their gazes. Things were settled, and they would take a day off tomorrow and set off for Shangming Town the morning after tomorrow.

After dinner, Fu Tian went to the main courtyard to see Fu Youqin. In the past three days of checking the accounts, Fu Tian did not talk to her well except for a quick look during the meal every day. Now Fu Youqin is almost in good health and has recovered her spirits. Fu Tian thought. Before going to Shangming Town, he had to explain some things clearly to his mother.

In the evening, the cold had already become heavier. Fu Youqin leaned half on the bed to read a book, and Fu Shuyue sat on the side, talking to the embroidery while talking to her.

Fu Tian knocked on the door and came in. When Fu Youqin saw him, she frowned slightly, "I haven't looked at you well for three or four days, why did I lose weight?"

Fu Shuyue made a seat for him, and Fu Tian moved a small stool to the edge of the bed, with a stern face and a serious look on his face: "I have something to say to my mother."

Fu Youqin pinched his face, "I'm still so serious with my mother."

Fu Tian pursed his lips, said vaguely, and said slowly: "I want to take over the business at home."
