Chapter 393 The General’s Mansion’s Cannon Fodder Next Wife (15)

Chunyue tugged at Jiang Lai's skirt and cried.

"Your servant is not lying. You can ask the accountant about this matter. The accountant was there when I went to withdraw the money. Later, Miss Xu called me aside and many people saw it!"

She absolutely can't bear this blame, and it's fine to beat and scold with a stick, but this is the crime of assassinating the emperor's relatives, if she is charged, she will be beheaded.

Xu Ruling was still steady, and made a loud noise.

"You can call those people to confront! Ma'am, do you still want to continue to favor her in such a big matter? Or are you afraid that you will hurt yourself, and the master and servant will bully me together!"

Jiang Lai sighed.

She is actually too lazy to intrigue with these women in the house, since the other party is rushing to pick things up now, it's just a good time to have fun with her.

"Miss Yue, shut up. Miss Xu said that our master and servant bullied her. Now that you have said everything you want to say, what else do you want me to say?"

No one was allowed to sleep at night, Jiang Lai was in a bad mood, and Tie Yi was in a worse mood. In fact, it was just a matter of his words, but behind Xu Ruling was the old lady, and behind Chunyue was Jiang Lai. Nothing he said was right. As long as he can keep silent by the side and make sure that Jiang Lai doesn't suffer, that's enough.

"Miss Xu, there's no need to confront those people in the accounting room. What they said was taught from you. I also wonder why Miss Xu would meddle in her own business when she is so busy. This shows..."

"Chunyue lied! Is there any need to say more? Everyone in the house knows how busy I have been the past few days, so how could I find an opera troupe for her!"

Jiang Lai nodded.

"It's a pity that the head of the theater troupe was killed. Otherwise, if you ask, you will understand. Otherwise, General, let's go to the accounting office to check. After all, the accountant's monthly expenses are recorded, so check the money advanced to the theater troupe." Isn’t it clear who got it?”

After speaking, Jiang Lai yawned again.

"Go, ask the accountant to bring this month's account book."

Xu Ruling panicked when he heard it.

There was only more than 1 taels of silver in the account, and she had already used all of them to buy flowers and plants for the birthday banquet. She wanted to win the appreciation of the guests and make up for the shortfall with the gift money from the guests. Unexpectedly, the general stipulated that accepting gift money was not allowed, so the accounts on the current account book did not match at all.

The troupe was indeed found by her. The troupe that Chunyue was going to hire charged 80 taels of silver for a song, which was very expensive. Ten taels of silver can be sent.

At that time, she didn't care about how well she sang, and she could always fool the money that disappeared from the account first.

But she didn't expect that the theater troupe was full of assassins, and they came for the guests at the birthday banquet. It only took Chunyue to kill for such a big incident to temporarily hide it.

Damn Jiang Lai is playing with his prestige here again!

"General, it's getting late, why don't we check tomorrow, everyone is frightened, so we don't want to disturb so many people."

Jiang Lai smiled.

Do you know it's getting late now?

"It's not too late. The general and I haven't slept yet. Why is it so late to call an accountant over?"

Xu Ruling gritted his teeth.

"Okay, then I'll call him now."

"No, you two go, remember, don't let Mr. Accountant waste time, understand?"

The two guards were people around Tie Yi, and when they saw Tie Yi nodding, they turned around and left, not giving Xu Ruling a chance to speak again.

The accountant came over, he was not fully dressed, and he said something before Jiang came to ask.

"Ma'am, being a gluttonous girl in the kitchen, I lived and roasted potatoes in the back of the account room, but the fire climbed up the table and burned the account book! Now there is only half of it left, there is really nothing I can do, please have a look."

Jiang Lai looked at the account book he handed over, which had been burnt to only a small half, and looked through it, but he couldn't see the fart.

"How do you feel about handling this matter, General?"

Tie Yi is so smart, if he still can't see Xu Ruling's problem, he is really blind.

"The matter of the accountant in the mansion is not a trivial matter. According to the law of punishment in the army, I will punish the accountant with fifty military sticks."

The accountant was so frightened that his legs went limp and then he knelt down.

That's a military stick, although it's only five fingers wide, it's half a finger thick, and if he doesn't die after hitting the fifty boards, he will have to die half of his life, maybe he will be useless for the rest of his life!

The general never asks about the affairs of the mansion. The whole house, from the housekeeper to the slaves and grooms, is all dispatched by Miss Xu. Yesterday, Miss Xu told him everything, even if the account book is burned, she will never get involved It hurt him.

With Xu Ruling's status in the mansion, the accountant was convinced of her words, and immediately burned the account book.

If someone else's account manager did this kind of thing, it would be considered light to beat him up and throw him out. Some of the more strict rules might have to be reported to the officials and thrown directly into the prison.

Now hearing what Tie Yi said, Mr. Accountant was scared, and he knelt on the ground and looked at Xu Ruling as if begging for help.

Xu Ruling looked at Jiang Lai with a pale face, with resentment in his eyes.

"General, after all, Mr. was personally selected by the old lady. If you hit him, it is equivalent to hitting the old lady in the face! And madam, you really don't think it's a big deal if you watch the excitement, and you insist on killing someone for a trivial matter." happy?!"

Jiang Lai raised his eyebrows innocently, and looked at the accountant in front of him.

"The country has state laws, and the family has family rules. The only thing he has to do with his monthly salary in this mansion is to keep his account book. Miss Xu knows better than anyone else how important the account book is. If there are people in the court who don't like the general, What should I do if I directly bought the accountant of our house and asked him to forge a fake account of corruption and bribery?
He is acting abnormally now, maybe he has colluded with those troupe members to help other people to frame our general!

General, are you right?If it’s really like this, there are too few boards, why don’t you report it to Dali Temple directly, and let those people from Dali Temple check it out. I heard that the water prison in Dali Temple has recently vacated a lot of places, and the underground of the water prison is full. All of them are prisoners who died inside, and my husband is not afraid of loneliness when he is inside. "

Jiang Lailai's tone of voice was lifelike, and he said something creepy calmly, but the general on the side didn't refute at all, and the guards on both sides were eager to try to arrest him.

At this time, the accountant finally saw the situation clearly, and if he stood in the wrong team, he might really lose his life.

"No! Ma'am, please don't report to the police, it's Miss Xu! It was Miss Xu who made me destroy this month's account book yesterday! I don't know anything, Miss Xu holds my property and life in her hands, I dare not not listen to her Yes! General, please forgive me, the assassination has nothing to do with me!"
