Chapter 119 Dealing with an Uneasy Manager (5)
Luyao and Qingbi understood, and went to the side hall by the side door, and after a while, each held a stack of ledgers and piled them on the table.

Ru Jin pointed to the ledger on the table, and said, "This is the ledger of some of the stewards sitting here, some from a few years ago, some more recent." Mei Mou glanced back and forth at the faces of the stewards , and said: "Rujin has checked these days and found that there is a big problem with it. I don't know if some of the stewards have made mistakes and made mistakes in the account. If any steward brings it up now, Rujin can return the account book and wait for it to be retrieved." It’s okay to go back and sort it out before handing it over.”

Except for some loyal stewards to Mu Jilin who did not tamper with the accounts, the rest, large or small, did some tampering, and they were slightly panicked, especially those who did outrageous manipulations. , Lu Guanshi is one of the first.

It's just that no one in charge admits that he has made a mistake in the account. Isn't this equivalent to slapping himself?

"Rujin will ask all the stewards again. If any steward feels that he may have made a mistake, he will bring it up. Rujin will not pursue it." Rujin said again, but after a moment of silence, there was still no steward. Open your mouth.

Ru Jin raised a faint sneer, and said again: "Since the manager didn't speak, let Ru Jin speak." He reached out and picked up the ledger on the top, turned a few pages, looked at Manager Lu, and said: "Guan Lu is from the Jiangnan Silk Shop, right?"

There was a flash of panic in Guanshi Lu's heart, but he said calmly, "Yes, Second Miss."

Rujin turned the front page of the account book to Guanshi Lu: "This is the account book that Guanshi Lu handed over ten days ago." Then he picked up another stack of the top one, and continued: "This is the account book that Guanshi Lu gave a year ago... ... Rujin has checked everything. There are about ten stores under the management of Lu Guanshi. A year ago, the average profit of each store recorded in Lu Guanshi's account was about 50 taels per month. The average profit of each store is only 25 taels per month...that is exactly half, how can Guanshi Lu explain it?"

Without waiting for Guanshi Lu's defense, he immediately said, "It's because Guanshi Lu's ability to do business is getting worse, or it's because Guanshi Lu was confused for a while and made a mistake in the account!"

Guanshi Lu had a layer of sweat on his forehead. He didn't expect that Rujin would investigate so carefully. He paused, stood up calmly and cupped his hands and said, "Second Miss doesn't know that the silk business is difficult this year. You can do it." It is said that the situation is getting worse, and Jiangnan has opened several new silk shops, and it is inevitable that the profit will decrease."

Ru Jin's eyes: "Oh...really..." Then he smiled again, that smile made Guanshi Lu's hairs stand on end, and he couldn't help trembling.

"As far as Rujin knows, each of the ten silk shops under the management of Lu Guanshi has a shopkeeper, and each shopkeeper also has to keep accounts. He is also responsible for checking the accounts, summarizing the account books of the ten stores every month, and then making an account..." After a pause, seeing the panicked expression of Manager Lu, he continued: "If you want to know the ten shops under the management of Lu, Is the business of the silk shop difficult to do this year, and whether the profit has decreased? Go to the shopkeepers of the ten silk shops to check the account books... Or, you can go to the purchase department to check the silk shop's sales this year. How much is the purchase, and then go to see how much the store's deposits and loans are, and you can also find out the profit of each store..."

Hearing Rujin's words, Steward Lu almost softened his feet, and wiped the cold sweat off his face with his hand. He never thought that Rujin, the second lady in the boudoir, would have such a powerful side.Knowing that Mr. Mu was in a coma, he did change the account book. He thought that the second master who had just entered the mansion hadn't studied for a few years at all, so he must not be able to find out the mistakes in it.And in recent years, he has kept reducing the profits on the accounts, and the master didn't say anything, but he became more and more bold.But I didn't expect... If it is proved that he made false accounts, the consequences... I am afraid that he will no longer be the manager of those ten shops.

"Guan Lu, do you have anything else to say?" Although Rujin's voice was small, it carried a commanding power, and looked at Guan Shi coldly.

Steward Lu couldn't bear it any longer, knelt down, and said to Rujin with a trembling voice, "Second Miss, I accidentally made a mistake, Second Miss, please forgive me this time." His attitude changed immediately, Being careful and humble, even "Lu Mou" has become a "little one".

Ru Jin sneered, but she didn't intend to spare Guanshi Lu, they had given them a chance just now, they didn't know how to cherish it, since Guanshi Lu was the first to bear the responsibility of everything, then use him as a knife to deter them other stewards.

He said coldly: "Guard Lu, just now Rujin has asked, which steward felt that his account book was wrongly recorded, so he took it back, rearranged it and handed it back, but no steward came out to take the account book back. Yes, at this moment, Guanshi Lu can say how he accidentally made a wrong account."

After a pause, before he could open his mouth, he said again: "Guard Lu, don't think that your father can't see the clues to the accounts you have done in recent years. Rujin knows that his father just thinks that Manager Lu is the old steward of the Mu family. It can be counted as earning a lot of profit for the Mu family... But Steward Lu shouldn't be overly aggressive, he went too far and cut the profit by half, so Steward Lu intends to keep the half of the money for his own use or something!"

Guanshi Lu didn't even have the strength to kneel down. Looking at Ru Jin, who was full of power, he had already lost the arrogance and arrogance he had when he first came, only full of fear. This girl in her teens has such a keen mind , with such an aggressive aura, I couldn’t help but start begging for mercy in fear: "Second Miss...is...it’s the little one...the little one is guilty...please forgive the little one once...the little one... This time... never dare again..."

Rujin looked at the confused Manager Lu, and said, "If I knew today, why bother? I gave you a chance just now, but you didn't cherish it. You can't blame me for being ruthless at this moment. The Mu family can't tolerate such hypocrisy." My dear fellow, Steward Lu should go home to take care of the elderly.” After a pause, he said, “I think you have been the steward of the Mu family for most of your life, so I won’t pursue the profits that you withheld privately. Your pension money."

Steward Lu suddenly collapsed to the ground. Over the years, because he has been in charge of the ten silk shops of Mu's family, those shopkeepers have favored him, and he is very respectable in front of his relatives and friends. If he loses the position of steward, then How could he hold his head up in front of his relatives and friends!Thinking about it, she hurriedly begged Rujin loudly: "Second miss, please, please, please forgive me! I don't dare anymore, I don't dare anymore! Miss sister, please... ...please..."

Rujin didn't want to listen, maybe Mu Rujin in her previous life would soften her heart seeing Steward Lu look like this now, but unfortunately she is no longer the Mu Rujin from her previous life.Glancing at Qingbi, Qingbi understood, and immediately called the guards to pull Guanshi Lu down.

Steward Lu yelled out of the main hall, and the rest of the stewards were shocked. They didn't expect that the second lady's methods were more severe than the master's.Those stewards who had made fake accounts broke out in cold sweat and were terrified.
