Forgotten Legend of the Bloodied Flower

"Fire! Fire!"

"Ahh! Where's the water?"

"Bring more water!"

Several people could be seen running around in the Jun Family. They didn't know what was wrong that fire suddenly started in their residences.

First Madam Jun was shocked when she found that their treasure storage room was burned and quickly deployed the servants to move as fast as possible.

"My treasuree!"

"Ahhh!"

Jun Shi Lian watched as First Madam Jun crouched and hugged the remaining boxes that were intact and snorted. He was holding another box in his hand that contained more gold.

The land and servants deeds were all left behind because he couldn't really move them.

But if First Master Jun had to pay a lot of money, he would have to sell some stores and raise money.

At that time, there would be another fun show to watch.

Jun Shi Lian sneered and made his way to Governor Nian's residence. He saw that the meeting was over and Governor Nian was staying there, checking the amount of money.

"Governor Nian."

"Ah, you're back, Commander Jun." Governor Nian looked at Jun Shi Lian sheepishly. "I have tried to raise the money as much as possible… Do you think this is appropriate?"

"Let me see." Jun Shi Lian looked at the document that Governor Nian wrote and silently calculated in his heart. At this moment, he was thankful that his fellow soldiers were kind enough to teach him how to read and count.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to do anything when facing this situation.

Checking the account for a moment, Jun Shi Lian thought for a moment and nodded. He placed the box in front of Governor Nian.

"There should be enough money to cover up the expense. I'll bring another one." Jun Shi Lian walked out and Governor Nian looked at the box with curiosity. Upon opening it, he saw a large amount of money that his eyes almost popped out.

The amount of money in this box alone could cover half of the expense he asked these nobles to pay.

Tsk, tsk.

He didn't expect Jun Shi Lian to be so rich.

Before long, Jun Shi Lian came over with another box and put it on the table. "These are jewelries from the Jun Family. You might want to pawn it and exchange it for gold in other cities so that you won't be found."

"What?" Governor Nian was stunned. "These are Jun Family money?"

At this moment, he was shocked at how rich the Jun Family was. A few years prior, they were only small family that barely survived and now, they had become such a powerful family with a lot of money in their possession.

Thinking of the tax that the Jun Family paid over the years… it was clear that they were hiding their real wealth.

"Yes." Jun Shi Lian glanced at Governor Nian. "Do you not dare to do it?"

"I dare." Governor Nian sneered. He only needed to send some people to process these jewelries and some that were not worth so much could be smelted. After that, he would be able to get a lot of money.

Of course, he would have to sell these jewelries under their real value but as long as he could get rid of them quickly, no one would be able to associate it with him.

Jun Shi Lian nodded. "Let these nobles families paid for 30% and the rest can be taken from the money in the box. As for the Jun Family, you know what to do."

Governor Nian laughed. "I know. But are you sure that they won't come here to make trouble?"

"Even if they did, I'm sure you can handle it." Jun Shi Lian looked outside. "I'll be going now and come back with the rest of the soldiers. In the meantime, you might want to send some letters to the Nan Family and asked whether they have supported the Jun Family over the years."

Governor Nian arched his eyebrows. "It's good."

He had the feeling that Jun Shi Lian might know something about the Nan Family, but he chose not to ask.

What if it was just like him who only have some hunches?

In that case, it would be better for Governor Nian not to say anything nor assume it.

"Good."

Jun Shi Lian walked out and took the other box. He thought for a moment before deciding to bury it somewhere save, a place that only he and his cousin knew.

When there was time in the future, he would take it out for use.

After all, Jun Shi Lian didn't really need a lot of money and his own salary over the years were more than enough.

…

<First Jun Family Residence>

"What?!"

While Jun Shi Lian was away, First Master Jun came back and was shocked when he heard that there was fire in his treasured room.

Looking at the messy room and the missing money, First Master Jun was immediately enraged and interrogated these servants and guards quickly.

And then there was chaos.

…

<Long distance away, Cheng City, Long Family Residence>

The time when Nan Hua started to investigate the Jun Family coincided with the time when the letter from Governor Nian arrived at the Nan Family.

Old Master Nan, who was thinking what else he had to prepare for his granddaughter, was stunned when he heard that there was a letter from Governor Nian.

Who this person is, Old Master Nan didn't even know.

And then the content….

Old Master Nan was furious when he saw it and wanted to kill those people from the Jun Family a thousand times over.

They have never appeared when his daughter in law was in difficult time and never contacted her again when she was in Cheng City. Now they had the audacity to use the Nan Family's name.

If Old Master Nan didn't deal with them, then he would not be surnamed Nan!

Damn those b*stards! Even the Nan Family members (his brothers and others) were not as courageous as them.
