Rebirth of Concubine The World

Chapter 176 Rong Siqing attempted suicide (5)
Everyone's hearts tightened, and there was a little more fear in the eyes that looked at He Lanhuo.It seems that they underestimated this girl. It seems that He Lanhuo's attack today was well prepared.

At this moment, there are naturally some people who are ready to refute He Lanhuo: "Princess, we have been running this store for the Hou Mansion for a long time. Just because the princess sent someone to look at it a few days ago, we can conclude that the store is not losing money. I will wait for it." Suspected of corruption, this is really unconvincing. Princess, you are so arbitrary, isn't it chilling the hearts of those of us who work for the Houfu?"

The shopkeeper who spoke was surnamed Yang, and he ran a restaurant in the capital for the Hou Mansion. On weekdays, shopkeeper Yang even made friends with Butler Xi.

This time, Shopkeeper Yang spoke very rudely.

He Lanhuo smiled sweetly, shining brightly like a pearl, bright and compelling: "This is indeed true, so in order to find out the truth of the matter and to eliminate the suspicion on everyone, just a few days ago, I ordered the butler Send up the account books. Of course, Butler Xi is indeed loyal, and has sent up the account books of the Hou Mansion over the years in detail."

Butler Xi said respectfully from the side: "The princess is polite, all this is what the old slave should do."

Although Housekeeper Xi was very respectful on the face, he was sneering in his heart.All the shopkeepers know that Butler Xi is plotting against He Lanhuo.With so many ledgers, He Lanhuo might be dumbfounded when he saw them, let alone see why.

"You've been doing well in what you're supposed to do."

There was also a touch of sarcasm in He Lanhuo's voice, and he said immediately: "Please invite Miss Jiang in."

I saw a young girl stepping into the room with a smile under the watchful eyes of all shopkeepers.On a delicate melon-seeded face, a pair of eyes moved flexibly, exuding a spirit of spirit.

Jiang Yunjun was No.1 in the arithmetic competition at the Pinqing Fair, and not a few people in the capital knew about it.

Although the shopkeepers present had guessed Jiang Yunjun's identity, they secretly joked that He Lanhuo went to the doctor in a hurry. No matter how good Jiang Yunjun's calculations were, he was still just a brat.

But soon, these people will stop laughing.

Seeing that He Lanhuo ordered someone to bring up the large box of ledgers, Butler Xi was also secretly proud.So what if He Lanhuo wants to check the account, send the account book over by himself, and see how she checks it.

He Lanhuo leaned casually, looked at Jiang Yunjun and said, "Mr. Yun, just tell me about the inadequacies in the accounts of this shopkeeper Yang."

Jiang Yunjun stepped forward generously, smiled before saying anything, pulled out an account book in his palm, turned to a page and said: "According to the records in this account book, three years ago, shopkeeper Yang bought a batch of cotton charcoal for 2000 taels of silver. This cotton charcoal is precious, it is used for warming the fire in winter, but shopkeeper Yang bought such a batch of cotton charcoal in summer."

Shopkeeper Yang sneered: "The guests of the restaurant are afraid of the cold in winter, so buying cotton charcoal is also a necessary expense. As for the reason why we need to buy it in summer, it is because the price of charcoal soars in winter, and it will be cheaper to buy in summer. What's the problem?"

"The problem is that Shopkeeper Yang's purchase price for this batch of cotton charcoal is 2000 taels. Originally, according to the market price, you can buy it for 1000 taels. It's a pity that shopkeeper Yang bought it at such an expensive price in summer."

"Also, in another account, it is clearly stated that in the winter of this year, shopkeeper Yang, you bought a batch of green charcoal with 700 taels of silver. Since you have already bought cotton charcoal, why did you buy it again? Buy this batch of green charcoal?"

Jiang Yunjun said neither humble nor overbearing, and looked at shopkeeper Yang with a pair of flexible big eyes, with a hint of sarcasm in his eyes.

Shopkeeper Yang also began to sweat on his forehead, and Jiang Yunjun obviously found out that he was playing tricks on the ledger.

The account book of this restaurant, shopkeeper Yang, is divided into several account books according to different purposes, but in fact, some repeated expenses are put in different account books.Although these methods are not clever, they just deceive the master of the Marquis Mansion without the care to make comparisons.He purposely made the accounts into a mess, just to make them unclear.

Jiang Yunjun didn't wait for shopkeeper Yang to speak, and began to point out the wrong point of the next stroke.

At first, everyone thought that Jiang Yunjun was just a fluke, but seeing Jiang Yunjun pointing out a series of problematic account records in a tepid tone, and telling where the crux of the problem is, everyone's hearts also floated. horror.

Jiang Yunjun is not very old, but he seems to be familiar with prices, and he has the ability to remember with a photograph. Even those who have been tampered with on the books cannot escape Jiang Yunjun's speech.

After one account book was finished, Jiang Yunjun also started to pick up another account book and began to point out the bad debts.

Jiang Yunjun's speech speed is not fast, but his endurance is also good.Steward Xi took out so many ledgers, but it became everyone's nightmare.Judging by Jiang Yunjun's posture, he actually wants to point out the mistakes in every account in public.

Before he knew it, it was noon time, but He Lanhuo didn't seem to realize it at all, he was still listening with a smile on his face.

When Jiang Yunjun was invited to come out today, He Lanhuo specially asked Jiang Yunjun to eat before coming out. As for the shopkeepers who invited here, their stomachs are starting to growl now.But their greed for ink has been exposed one by one, so how dare they say a word?

He Lanhuo picked up a piece of tuckahoe cake with chopsticks and put it into his lips. The tuckahoe cake was soft on the outside and soft on the inside. I have to say that Lanzhu's craftsmanship is very good.

She spent time here with these shopkeepers, and of course she also wanted to eat something, using pastries to pad her stomach.

The shopkeepers could not help swallowing their saliva secretly when they smelled the aroma of the pastries.It was at this time that they finally understood what He Lanhuo meant by preparing pastries.

It seemed that He Lanhuo had made up his mind a long time ago and sincerely put them together.

It's just that the princess is so young, why does it give them an unfathomable feeling?

Seeing the shopkeeper Xu who was working, He Lanhuo's eyes suddenly softened a little.In fact, the widowed mother and orphaned daughter of the Hou Mansion have no power to restrain the outside world. Large sums of money pass through their hands, testing people's morality, and it is inevitable to be greedy for a while.It's just that some people pluck the feathers too much, while some people suck the bones and suck the marrow, wishing to squeeze the Hou's mansion dry.
