Rebirth of Concubine The World

Chapter 177 The whole family business, moth removal (1)
Maybe these shopkeepers are not all unconscionable people, but they can't restrain their greed without binding force.

But what He Lanhuo didn't expect was that among so many people, shopkeeper Xu really didn't have a single bit of greed!
Usually shopkeeper Xu is not so ardent to the Hou Mansion, let alone flattering Rong in front of him, he just conducts his business in an orderly manner, honestly handing over the profits he earns.The old man who didn't have much memory of He Lanhuo in his previous life, but when faced with the temptation of money, he didn't go beyond the threshold.

He Lanhuo lowered his head and gave Hong Zhu a few words, Hong Zhu also nodded, and after a short while, Hong Zhu brought a small plate up.

"Mr. Xu, you should use something."

The steaming yam and jujube paste cake is served on the plate. This kind of snack is also suitable for the food that the stomach of the elderly cannot easily digest.

He Lanhuo's move moved shopkeeper Xu, but it also made the rest of the shopkeepers feel bad.Some people's faces were full of hatred, and some people's faces showed a bit of shame.He Lanhuo seemed to be tasting the dim sum casually, but in fact, he saw all the expressions of the shopkeepers, and gradually felt better in his heart.

Jiang Yunjun stopped from time to time to moisten her throat with some herbal tea brought up by He Lanhuo, but her attitude was the same as He Lanhuo's, taking her time.

Finally, Jiang Yunjun finally finished pointing out the mistakes in these ledgers, and took out a small booklet by the way.

"This booklet is for me to record what I have discovered, princess, and now I will live up to your trust."

He Lanhuo stroked the ledger lightly, and a few sharp rays of light floated in her beautiful eyes, sweeping across all the people present.

The sharp cold light in the eyes made everyone present startled, and they couldn't help lowering their heads one by one.

"Everyone, what else is there to say? The Hou Mansion treats you well." He Lanhuo's cool voice sounded and reached everyone's ears, making people feel chilling.

Butler Xi couldn't have imagined that He Lanhuo's methods would be so fierce and fast...

He quickly got up, stood in front of He Lanhuo, and said respectfully: "Princess, although the storekeepers are at fault, but thinking that they have devoted themselves to the family business of the Hou Mansion for many years, I ask the princess to forgive them this time. "

Unless He Lanhuo dismissed all the twelve shopkeepers, but in this case, who will take care of the family business for the Hou Mansion?

"Hi Steward, when are you qualified to interfere with the decision-making of the master of the Zhennanhou Mansion?"

He Lanhuo's voice was not loud or sharp, but it had a power that could not be ignored.

Butler Xi also shuddered slightly, the Rong family had relied heavily on him over the years, and Butler Xi was also used to calling the shots in Helan's house.The shopkeepers usually subconsciously move closer to Butler Xi, while ignoring Rong Shi and He Lanhuo.

But when Butler Xi was overwhelmed by He Lanhuo's questioning, everyone gradually discovered the fact that in this family, the Helan family is the real master, and Butler Xi is just a servant.

He Lanhuo gently clasped the booklet that Jiang Yunjun had sorted out with his fingers, and said with a faint smile: "A clothing store and a bank under the name of the Hou Mansion seem to have been under your control all the time, and there are also some Corruption. Butler Xi, you are also an old man in the Zhennanhou Mansion, but you have let down the trust my mother and I have placed in you."

"Shopkeeper Xu, you have done an excellent job. He Lanhuo would like to thank you for your loyalty to the Hou Mansion over the years."

He Lanhuo's words made shopkeeper Xu feel sour, and immediately felt a little warmth.

He Lanhuo took advantage of the situation and looked up at the rest of the people, with a cold voice and even colder tone: "Treasurer Gao, Manager Li!"

The hearts of the two who had been hit by He Lanhuo's name tensed up.

"I want all of you to spend less than the amount of money you have embezzled this year, and if you commit another crime in the future, you will be expelled from the Marquis Mansion. Are you convinced?"

The two shopkeepers were startled, He Lanhuo's punishment was not heavy, but too light.According to the law of the Great Yin, if these slaves who betrayed their masters cannot return all the money they have been corrupted, they will have to walk eighty feet, travel three thousand miles, and their property will be confiscated.

The amount of these two people's greed for ink is not very large, and they also showed shame just now, so He Lanhuo will give them a chance to change their ways.

Seeing He Lanhuo's handling like this, the rest of the people couldn't help feeling a little relieved.It seems that this little princess is also a daughter's family after all, after all she is merciful, and the punishment will not be too severe.Although some people breathed a sigh of relief, there were also some people who secretly gave birth to a little contempt.

But in the next moment, He Lanhuo's eyes became slightly colder: "As for Butler Xi, Shopkeeper Yang, Shopkeeper Hao, and Shopkeeper Fang..."

These four people not only have a huge number of greedy ink, but now they only see anger, but they don't have the slightest remorse. For such people, He Lanhuo will have no mercy!
"The four of you, according to the Law of Dayin, you have the right to take back the Marquis' Mansion of the store you hold in your hands."

Hearing that He Lanhuo wanted to take away the shares in their hands, the expressions of the four people suddenly changed, and He Lanhuo's voice was cold, and he continued: "As for the amount of silver that you have embezzled over the years, you must return it in full. I will ask the government to execute it." In this matter, order the guards to seize your property. If not, I believe you should be more familiar with Dayinlu than I am."

With a wave of his hand, Jin Zhu sent four pieces of paper to the hands of the four people.It clearly recorded how many properties these four people had under their names, and even how many foreign houses they raised were clearly recorded.

Such a heavy punishment made the faces of the four of them change.Especially Steward Xi, who understood He Lanhuo's ruthless methods.

In fact, He Lanhuo had no intention at all of letting Steward Xi pay back the money that corrupted Mo. She first used a scam to defraud Steward Guangxi of the money, and then sued Steward Xi to the government for the crime of embezzlement of Mo's master's property.In this way, Steward Xi was also exiled because he had no money to atone for his sins and could only choose to be punished with the rod.

For a moment, Butler Xi's face turned livid, and he looked at He Lanhuo in disbelief, but he slapped the table heavily: "Princess, we have worked for the Hou's Mansion for many years, you are crossing the river and tearing down the bridge!"

"Damn it, we do our best for the Hou Mansion. Is this how the Hou Mansion treats us shopkeepers?"

"He Lanhuo, do you have a conscience? You little girl, what right do you have to dictate to us elders, or let your wife come out, who will talk to you, a yellow-haired girl?"
