a month later.

“boss…”

the face of the tavern master at shengde building was a bit gloomy. business at the tavern had been poor recently, resulting in a significant drop in income.

luckily, liang sheng did not take it to heart. he simply waved his hand and did not complain, “if there are no customers, let’s just close early. you all can go home and rest earlier.”

upon hearing liang sheng’s words, the tavern master and the apprentices breathed a sigh of relief. business had been extremely bad recently.

by this time, the place should have been full of guests. but in the face of this situation, they had no choice.

chaos!

however, they were not too worried. after all, they were affiliated with the liang family of jinzhou city. even if there was chaos, it would only be temporary chaos.

“by the way, old duan, remember to bring out this month’s account book before you leave. i want to check the accounts.”

upon hearing these words, the tavern master nodded, handed the key to liang sheng, and then he and his apprentices said goodbye and left. before leaving, they closed the main gate of the tavern, leaving a small door for liang sheng to leave.

in all these years, liang sheng seemed to be hands-off, but if they dared to cheat, it would be courting death.

the previous chen, who was the tavern master, has already disappeared in jinzhou city. liang sheng’s way of treating his subordinates was not only with kindness but also with a thunderous hand.

regardless of the situation, he was a member of the liang family. in addition, liang sheng’s fair and strict leadership had prevented major chaos at the shengde building.

at this moment, liang sheng was quietly looking through the accounts for this period. although the performance of the tavern had been declining, twenty days ago, after a steep decline, it lost more than half.

“it seems that zheng wanchun also disappeared after that day, and he hasn’t even been seen drinking flower wine at the yichun building.”

liang sheng tapped his fingers lightly on the table, slowly sorted out all the recent information, and began to analyze the situation in jinzhou city.

liang ying was ultimately too eager to show himself, which touched everyone’s interests, but he was not so desperate before.

liang ying is not a fool. he had his reasons for acting this way, but as a result, the chaos in jinzhou city may be even worse than last time.

this doesn’t work. i need to lay low for a while. this is not like the previous conflict between the liang and wu families and the gao family. this touches their fundamental interests.

thinking of this, liang sheng hurried home and the next morning he had ma san take him out of the city. the official reason was to go out for a while.

as for the shengde building, it had already entered the right track. old duan and his team could handle these small matters, so there was no need to worry.

…

jinshan temple.

looking at the houses that stretched continuously on the hillside, liang sheng couldn’t help but sigh. no matter which world, these temples were always bustling with activity.

whether people feared ghosts and gods, or had boundless desires, leading them to pray to gods and buddha, liang sheng didn’t delve deeply into it. he shrugged and continued up the mountain.

back then, in order to avoid marrying into the wu family, liang qi chose to become a monk. at first, he and liang sheng still corresponded and invited liang sheng to visit the temple when he had time.

however, at that time, liang sheng was unsure of the liang family’s attitude towards liang qi. to avoid suspicion and not to involve himself in this matter, he did not actually take action.

but now, nothing happened, and the liang family probably had already forgotten about liang qi.
