Divine Doctor Poison Concubine: Miss Waste

Chapter 232: Young Master’s Strategies (2)
The lobby is located in the main hall of Li Gui's courtyard. The house is quite spacious, but now it's dark, the lobby is brightly lit, and even Xia Qingge in the courtyard ordered someone to turn on the lights.

Now, all the long-term workers of the mansion and some women who manage the yard are standing on both sides of the lobby. Xia Qingge sits at the top, Aunt Qiu sits at the bottom, followed by Li Gui, Liu Wancai and his wife, and the trembling man who just finished tidying up. Liu Huiniang.

Xia Qingge glanced at everyone's faces, everyone's face was covered with mist, as if he didn't know why Xia Qingge had summoned so many people here all of a sudden.

It stands to reason that even if Mrs. Liu pretended to be pregnant and framed Mrs. Li today, that would still be the Li family's private matter, and ordinary bosses would not manage this matter. Therefore, most people were curious and puzzled about Xia Qingge's behavior with such a big fanfare. mentality.

This includes Liu Wancai and Li Gui.

Withdrawing his thoughts, Xia Qingge took a sip of the tea as if nothing had happened.

Liu Wancai's expression obviously flashed with displeasure: "Miss, what do you mean by calling the younger ones here with such great fanfare? If it's just the things just now, the younger ones think that this is a private matter between the Li family and the Liu family. , don’t bother the eldest lady, how to deal with it later, I will discuss it with Li Gui privately.”

Xia Qingge lightly put the teacup in his hand back on the tea table next to him, and then raised his eyes: "Don't worry about Guan Liu, I'm naturally not asking you guys to come here today for your two private affairs, but about our family this year. harvest."

"Harvest?" Liu Wancai sneered: "Miss, I don't understand when you say that. If you are talking about the wheat harvest a while ago, the detailed accounts of the total harvest have already been sent back to the Duke's mansion. If you are talking about The harvest of fruits and vegetables this year, the fruits and vegetables in our good fields have not yet been harvested in autumn, I am afraid that this account cannot give you a clear and clear amount."

Everyone nodded following Liu Wancai's words, and even Aunt Qiu and Li Gui on the side agreed with what Liu Wancai said. Although the two families are somewhat embarrassed and resentful now, what Liu Wancai said just now is the truth, and they can't figure out what the eldest lady is. what to say.

Xia Qingge didn't look at the crowd, but raised her eyes to look outside the door. At this moment, Qiaolan walked in with a few books in her hand.

"Miss, here are the things." Qiaolan put the account in front of Xia Qingge, Xia Qingge reached out to take it, then looked down, and chuckled in satisfaction.

After letting Jing Ming and Jing Hong finish [-] push-ups and running around the mountain yesterday, she ordered Jing Hong to ride back to Xiuguo's mansion overnight and bring back the accounts she kept in the study.In addition, Jing Ming was sent to secretly investigate how Liu Wancai made up the fake accounts, and who else was collaborating with Liu Wancai. Now all the evidence is in her hands.

Now the time is just right, everything she wants is in front of her eyes, she lifts up a piece of paper, glances at the names on it, and when she raises her head, her eyes glance across the faces of those people.

"Today, I invite you to come to the lobby. What I'm talking about is this year's wheat harvest. I have two accounts in my hand, both of which are detailed records of this year's wheat harvest. I asked Qiaolan to bring it from the accounting room. , and the other book was brought by me from Xiuguo Mansion, the handwriting and deadline on it are the same, but the total number on it is a few thousand shi less grain, I want to ask Guanshi Li and Guanshi Liu, How can there be less food for those thousands of shi?"

"What?" Li Gui stood up from his chair in shock: "How is it possible? The account was checked by Xiao Xiao personally, and it was checked against the actual harvest of this year's grain. How could there be errors? And there is Such a big error?"

"Yeah, this is really unbelievable." One of the long-term workers also said curiously.

"Miss, but this account is wrong? Or, you used last year's account?" Aunt Qiu also looked at Xia Qingge suspiciously.

"No, these two books of accounts were harvested this year. You probably don't know that I am running the Xiuguo mansion now, so the accounts that were sent to the mansion a while ago had to go through my hands. I discovered that there was a big problem with the accounts, there was a severe drought last year, so it is normal for the farmer’s harvest to be significantly lower, but I checked all the accounts over the years, and there is a very interesting phenomenon.”

Xia Qingge paused, and glanced at Liu Wancai, who visibly trembled.

"What phenomenon?" Li Gui asked curiously.

Taking Shunzi back, Xia Qingge continued: "I found that the accounts for the past ten years have remained at the same level, and the number has not increased or decreased. If the year is good, there is only a few hundred shi more grain than in the year of severe drought. I am very curious. , Thousands of hectares of fertile land, how can there be only a few hundred shi more grain, isn't it strange enough?"

"That's impossible." Li Gui immediately shook his head in denial: "The younger one has been in office for two years, and the talent contrast between these two years is very obvious. Last year's harvest was indeed lower, but this year's harvest is obviously more than last year's at least. Three thousand shi of grain, this little one can testify to it. Furthermore, all the accounts in the past few years were managed by the little father, and he is also very trustworthy, and has been loyal to the old man who has been loyal to the Duke's Mansion all his life. , will never do such a thing that destroys conscience."

"You don't have to get excited." Xia Qingge saw that Li Gui was very surprised by this matter, and today, all the accounts were passed through his hands, so if it is really the biggest suspect who is being discussed, he is naturally the most eye-catching.

"I have checked these accounts carefully. The account books sent to the Duke's Mansion and the account books on Zhuangzi seem to be from the same person, but there is a slight difference in strength. So, I guess, someone must be pretending to be you. Handwriting, stealing the sky and changing the day, and sending a fake account book into the mansion."

When Xia Qingge reminded this, Li Gui instantly understood what she meant: "Miss, after sorting out the ledgers, I have been keeping them here, so it is difficult to see people in Zhuangzi on weekdays, and besides, Except Mr. Accountant and Liu Guanshi, everyone else is basically illiterate, so how could they secretly change the account book?"

"Then let me ask you, is there a chance for Mr. Accountant to cheat?"

"Miss, the little old man has been a tent in Zhuangzi all his life, and he has never done anything against his conscience. Please look into it, Missy!"

As soon as Xia Qingge finished speaking, an elderly man stepped forward and knelt on the ground: "Mr. Li, there is no need to panic. The matter has not been verified yet, so we must interrogate one by one. The clearer will clear himself. If you are loyal and upright, we will help you." Think, no one will wrong you."

"What the eldest lady said is that the little old man didn't do anything, so the little old man hopes that the young lady can thoroughly investigate this matter."

"Well, back off, the real murderer will be found out tonight." After she finished speaking, she smiled lightly and looked at Liu Wancai.
