Yusui Chang'an

Chapter 96 Shopkeeper Confrontation
Lin Jinyan suggested that Lin Jinan come to Songmao Hall to take a look. After all, it was the dowry left by her mother, and Lin Jinan also had the right to know.

Lin Yanqing thought about it and it made sense, so he sent someone to invite Lin Jinan to Songmao Hall.

After Lin Jinan came in and bowed, he sat down next to Lin Jinyan. The brother and sister leaned against each other and whispered for a while.

Lin Jinan was stunned after hearing this, feeling surprised.

Not long after, Lin Song brought the three shopkeepers of Baiyin Piano Shop. After the three people came in and knelt down to pay their respects, no one asked them to get up.

The hall was quiet. Shopkeeper Zhou was kneeling calmly. Liu Jie and another shopkeeper took a closer look and their bodies were trembling slightly. There was also a thin layer of sweat on their foreheads.

Liu Jie was already panicking when he knew that the old man of the Lin family had asked him to come to his house.When he walked in, he saw Shopkeeper Zhou. Liu Jie's legs suddenly felt weak. Now he was kneeling in the hall and no one was paying attention. Liu Jie knew that he might be sad today.

After a while, Lin Yanqing picked up the teacup and spoke.

"The three of them are all the shopkeepers of Baiyin Piano Shop. Can you tell me when they took office? And when did they leave?"

Shopkeeper Zhou bowed and said, "Back to Grand Tutor, the villain Zhou Yanzhong has been the shopkeeper of Baiyin Qin Shop since the third year of Sheng'an. In the 17th year of Sheng'an, shopkeeper Liu Jie Liu fired him due to poor management."

Liu Jie's tone was trembling when he heard the words: "Master Mingjian, this week the shopkeeper did not manage well and caused a loss in the store. The villain persuaded him to quit and gave him a severance package at that time."

Lin Yanqing put the tea lid on the tea cup and made a crisp sound.

"What to ask, what to answer."

Liu Jie trembled: "Yes, yes, I'm talking too much. This villain, Liu Jie, became the shopkeeper of Baiyin Qin Store in the 17th year of Sheng'an. A few days ago, he was kicked out by the second lady because of his lack of personal ethics." Went to another shop."

The shopkeeper on the side pretended to be calm and said: "The villain Liu Shoutong is the shopkeeper who just arrived at the Baiyin Qin Shop a few days ago."

Lin Yanqing said in a bad tone: "Another one named Liu, okay! Who are you, the second lady?"

When Liu Shoutong heard this, he felt his heart jump into his throat: "Second... the second lady is the cousin of the villain..."

At the end of the sentence, he lowered his head and his voice became smaller and smaller.

The old lady said angrily: "It's really nepotism! Shopkeeper Zhou said that Baiyin Qin Store had falsified its accounts. Is this true?"

Liu Jie hurriedly said: "The old lady clearly knows that there is absolutely no such thing. All the accounts of Baiyin Piano Store are registered. You can check it at will."

Liu Shoutong: "I've only been to the piano store a few days ago. I've just straightened out the shop and haven't had time to look at the previous accounts in detail."

After hearing this, Liu Jie secretly scolded Liu Shoutong for being cunning, and in two words he was completely ridiculed.

Shopkeeper Zhou straightened up and said loudly: "Back to the old lady, two months before the villain was dismissed, he discovered that Liu Jie had made false accounts, so he secretly wrote down the daily running accounts, which recorded in detail who made the purchases on what day. The old lady only You need to compare the accounts of the same day to find out.”

The old lady immediately ordered Liuli to find the corresponding account books of Baiyin Qin Store according to the account dates recorded by Shopkeeper Zhou.

After hearing this, Liu Jie's kneeling body became weak and he sat directly on his calf. Sensing Lin Yanqing's scrutinizing gaze, Liu Jie forced himself to calm down and kneel straight.

Seeing that Liuli was busy, Lin Jinyan called Agate to Songmao Hall to help. Zhou Yuexue, who originally came to pay his respects, was unusually rejected and returned to his own yard.

After seeing this, Lin Jinyan stood up and called Lin Song outside the door to whisper a few words. Lin Song responded and ordered his servants to guard the door. Lin's residence could only be entered and exited today.
