At this time, the three people kneeling on the ground kowtowed like pounding garlic, especially the shopkeeper Wang, who knocked his head even more, his forehead was already bruised, and he couldn't stop shouting: "Please spare your life, please spare your life, your lord." I beg you, sir, for the sake of our Wang family, who have served the government for five generations, let it be light. ”

Jia Yu sneered when he heard this: "This is wonderful, today you are the shopkeeper and pay the account to my house, if you make a mistake, you will say that your family has served for the fifth generation, and you must be punished lightly." Did you ever think that you would be where you are today?"

This shopkeeper Wang has been the shopkeeper of this shop in Rongguo Mansion for decades, and he knows the style of doing things in this mansion very well. This old man Jia Yu has always eaten soft rather than hard, and in the early years, he was also a master who didn't worry about it, and he rarely asked about everything in the house, and he only loved those antique fans with all his thoughts. In the past two or three years, it seems that I have changed my personality, and I have gradually become interested in various things in the house. Before, he dealt with everyone and made him feel quite palpitated, but after looking at it coldly for half a year, he saw that Jia Yu did not pay attention to this shop, but he felt a little more relaxed, thinking that now that he is older, it is better to take the opportunity to make more money, and one day he will ask for a favor to redeem his family. At that time, it was still good to have land and land. How could I have thought that there would be such a thing today? The only way to do this is to spit out those greedy drill camps, in the hope of appeasing Jia Yu's anger, after all, it is much better to take the initiative to confess than to passively raid the house. Besides, if he takes the initiative to pay it, Jia Fu will be punished heavily, and it is inevitable that he will not end up with the name of a harsh critic. Nowadays, the government pays special attention to reputation, and presumably this will not be the case. Thinking of this, the shopkeeper Wang had an idea.

"The lord is angry, the lord is angry. The little one I knew was wrong. Shopkeeper Wang said again and again: "I beg the master to let the small one make up for the shortfall, and the fault has been paid." ”

Jia Yu smiled when he heard this: "Make up for the shortfall, that is inevitable." How greedy you are, I don't say that you also know it, you write it down and read it with me. After finishing speaking, a small servant who was waiting on the side went over and spread the pen and paper in front of the shopkeeper Wang.

Shopkeeper Wang picked up the pen and kept shaking. How much should this be written? If he writes less, Jia Yu will definitely not believe it, and besides, he has already investigated many things, and he can't hide it. But if I wrote more, first, I had used a lot of it from home, and secondly, I was afraid of provoking Jia Yu's anger, in case I was angry at that time, there would be no room for turnback. Shopkeeper Wang was trembling and didn't dare to put pen to paper.

Seeing his hesitation, Jia Yu said: "Shopkeeper Wang should indeed think carefully before starting to write. This is a chance to atone for your sins for the sake of your five generations serving in the house. It's best to write clearly, how much you are greedy every year, and in the end it is best to match it with my account book. Jia Yu said, reaching out and patting the stack of account books on the table.

These words shocked the shopkeeper Wang, and he originally wanted to write the number indiscriminately, trying to get by. But when Jia Yu said this, his heart was even more dead, how could he match the account book in Jia Yu's hand? I had never seen that account book? In this way, I also broke off my mind of foolishness, and simply began to write seriously. Shopkeeper Wang is not confused, after all, it is much better to spit out some family wealth than to copy the family and sell it, and the deed of sale of the whole family is pressed on the hands of Jia Yu of Rongguo Mansion. This time, I honestly wrote down the eight points of greedy ink, and then I asked the lord of the house to forgive me.

Jia Yu saw that the shopkeeper Wang began to write seriously, and then looked at the other two shopkeepers who were kneeling on the ground together and said, "Do you two say it yourself, or do you want me to speak for you?" Jia Yu saw that the other two were only kneeling and kowtowing, so he asked again. I clicked the fan in my hand to the table.

"Small moves, small moves. The other two shopkeepers kowtowed like pounding garlic, "Please be merciful to the uncle's subordinates, please see that we have been working hard for the house for so many years and have made mistakes for a while, and I hope to forgive you once." ”

Jia Yu saw that he was on the road, so he said again: "I really don't care to listen to your skills of drilling camps, and the two of you also write clearly like him and show me." I will also put the ugly words in front today, you think about yourself, don't block the only way to live. ”

When the two of them heard Jia Yu say this, they naturally didn't dare to be fooled again, the whole family was pinched in the house, and it was small for them to lose their money, and it was big to lose their lives. No one wants to be the second Lai Da in this house.

After a while, the shopkeeper Wang wrote it and presented the paper with trepidation. Jia Yu glanced at it, and it was two percent more than what he investigated, and the items were written in real detail, so he nodded and said, "Although this number is not completely right, it is also ninety percent." Let's think you're pretty honest. Jia Yu waved his hand and came to a few subordinates, "A few of you go to Wang's shopkeeper's house and let them gather this money, if it is not complete, it can also be used to use the house and field, if it is made up today, it will spare his life, if it is not complete, dig coal and sell any one." When the men heard this, they answered, and walked away. At this time, I looked at the shopkeeper Wang's face like ashes, sitting on the side, and looking at the few people who went to do things.

The two people didn't dare to slack off when they heard this, and hurriedly wrote their share as well, and presented it respectfully, trembling and letting it go.

Jia Yu also swept his eyes, threw one of them to the ground and sneered contemptuously: "At this time, you still care about protecting money and don't want to die." In that case, if I don't fulfill you, don't you let other people see the joke? As soon as he finished speaking, a few more people with big shoulders and round waists came up, and Jia Yu pointed to one of them and said: "Shopkeeper Gou, I originally watched you manage the shop for the house for more than ten years, and today I still saved you a little face." Since you don't want to be ashamed and don't want to die, don't blame me for not remembering the old love. Drag it down, give me forty boards in the courtyard first, and then say, by the way, blast out that group of shopkeepers and let them see what will happen to the Greedy Ink Drill Camp!"

The shopkeeper Gou, who had hoped that he could get away with it, had no blood on his face at this time, and he was so panicked that he couldn't even say a word of begging for mercy. It wasn't until the next person came to drag him that he came back to his senses and begged for mercy.

Jia Yu threw the account book in front of him: "Let you also understand that what you wrote is less than thirty percent of what you are greedy for." Do you really think that Master Ben will not be serious with you today? Drag me down and fight!

Those subordinates got the order, so they naturally unceremoniously dragged the shopkeeper to the courtyard, pressed it directly, and fought solidly. The shopkeeper was beaten by the board, crying and howling bitterly. At this time, all the shopkeepers who were waiting in each room were also called out by the steward to see. Looking at the beaten shopkeeper Gou was even more frightened in his heart, and heard the steward shout that this Gou shopkeeper was greedy for ink, and was caught by the master, the old man remembered that he had also worked for the house in the past, and wanted to give him the opportunity to take the initiative to return the greedy ink money, but this Gou shopkeeper tried to get away with it in vain, and the old man was furious, so he begged for this beating. Everyone was even more frightened when they heard the screams of the shopkeeper Gou.

The steward said: "Today the lord is angry, but he remembers his old feelings, and wants to give a chance to make a mistake, if there is a greedy ink drill camp to take paper and pen to write down the amount of silver money that he is greedy for ink each time, and submit it after writing, if the old man nods in approval, he will order the family to make up for the money." Forget about this matter, if you have the same thoughts, then take the board and raid the house, and finally sell it together with your family. It's like this shopkeeper. "Everyone, listen and think about it." Don't think that the lord doesn't know if he doesn't say anything on weekdays, the lord has an account book but remembers it clearly, and today is also to save you a little face, if you don't want to be ashamed, you don't care. ”

When the shopkeepers heard what the steward said, those who were greedy for ink on weekdays immediately broke their hearts, and in a blink of an eye, many people turned around and went back to write. Everyone listened to the screams, and their hearts were pounding. I'm afraid that this board will also fall on me.

At this time, the subordinate who went to Wang's shopkeeper's house to withdraw the silver money came back, and the silver money was taken back, and the land deed and title deed were also taken back, but the account room calculated and calculated, and the return of the silver money was still 20% worse than what was written. Jia Yu smiled at Shopkeeper Wang: "Shopkeeper Wang, the money owed is not enough to be returned! If I spare you, I am afraid that everyone will see that I am partial." It's better to change twenty boards like this. You wrote ninety percent of my account book, and returned eighty percent of what you wrote, even if you are thirty percent shorter, you will receive sixty percent of this account. ”

When the shopkeeper Wang heard that he was going to get the sixty boards, he hurriedly said: "The master spares his life, the master spares his life! I still have a place to store silver, which my family does not know." Please allow me to pick it up and write it off. I beg the lord to disturb my life. I can't say that my body is sixty boards, even six boards, and I can't stand it now. ”

Jia Yu turned the fan in his hand and said, "This time I will have another chance with you, if the money I get back is still insufficient." Just add 20 more boards. When the time comes, I will receive eighty. ”

Shopkeeper Wang responded again and again, and sent someone to follow. A cup of tea is back. Jia Yu saw that he had not only paid in full, but also a lot more, so he nodded, which was considered a response. Shopkeeper Wang saw that Jia Yu no longer cared, so he breathed a sigh of relief. Today, I handed over all my family money in exchange for a life.

Those shopkeepers originally had a lot of gamblers who wanted to avoid the important and take a light gamble, but they also stopped thinking. Those who submitted it nodded and agreed, and they also asked to accompany themselves to retrieve the money, so as not to be beaten and punished if they received less. Of course, there were a few bold among them, but they were all discovered by Jia Yu, and they each took the board and ended up selling their families.

After some tossing, and after half a day, the amount of money returned was nearly twice as much as he had expected. Jia Yu's face was not as good as the last time he raided Lai's house, and there was no trace of joy. This is the subordinate of the house, and he still disagrees with the lessons of the past. These shopkeepers are shrewd, almost all of them are shrewd, but their shrewdness is used in the drill camp mansion, which is how a group of rats and moths are raised. Although he was punished this time, Jia Yu was still angry.
