Tenant farmers raise prices, that is a business business, and the officials cannot control such a thing. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoBut if the people at the bottom take advantage of the situation to gain personal gain and use their power to swallow a large amount of the owner's money, then this matter is not a business matter, but a theft.

Stealing, if it is really convicted, it will be years to say the least.

The days and meals in prison, but no one has the leisure to taste them.

Originally, he was frightened in his heart, and he always felt that the eldest lady had bad intentions this time, especially after listening to these words, and seeing that after saying these words, Xiao Chu was stunned and glanced at him from time to time, and his heart was even more uneasy. I kept worrying in my heart, especially Xiao Chusu's insistence that if something was wrong, he would ask the government to administer justice, and his nephew was almost in chaos.

He is greedy, and he is just greedy, because the superior is incompetent and cannot restrain the greed in his heart, so he opens his belly and keeps being greedy. But no matter how greedy he is, this nephew of the shopkeeper Tang is not a capable and capable master after all, and he mentions it in his heart, and Xiao Chu is stubborn, and the nephew, who has taken a lot of pressure, can't stand it in the end.

In the eldest lady's "If you really find out which link in the middle should not go wrong, it will be handed over to the government", this nephew couldn't bear it. Immediately trembled and ran to the main hall, then knelt down and bowed his head, and his nephew pleaded guilty one after another.

This sin was asked suddenly, and the shopkeeper Tang was puzzled, but Xiao Chu was stunned, and he already had a score in his heart. The nephew knelt down and pleaded guilty, she took it seriously, but she didn't want to make it clear, she just glanced at the nephew who was kneeling in the main hall, Xiao Chu asked.

"Please? The sin of the nephew of the shopkeeper Tang must be inexplicable. Shopkeeper Tang, do you know what kind of crime your nephew invited? ”

This suddenly knelt, didn't even say hello, Tang shopkeeper still felt inexplicable, how could he know what kind of trouble his nephew was making. Immediately, his complexion changed, and he made amends to Xiao Chu, and then hurriedly scolded his nephew with a look in his eyes: "What are you kid doing?" Kneel down and ask for a sin. If it's okay, don't make trouble here anymore and make the eldest lady annoyed. ”

"Uncle, nephew, me, nephew......"

"What the hell are you trying to say, kid? Hurry up and speak. ”

"Nephew, I ......" This kind of thing is really difficult for him to say by himself, after all, this nephew really doesn't know if he takes the initiative to recruit, the eldest lady will send himself to the government for investigation. Kneeling there, obviously struggling with this matter, looking at his nephew's almost twisted face, Xiao Chu said in a suffrage.

"If there is something, just say it, it is better to say it yourself than to ask someone to find out when the time comes. At least in my heart, I can still be a little less angry. ”

The eldest lady knows, just because of this sentence, the nephew knows that the eldest lady really knows. Xiao Chushu's words were inexplicable when the shopkeeper Tang heard this, but his nephew was clear.

Knowing that this was an opportunity given by the eldest lady, he couldn't care about the little calculations in his heart at the moment, gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, and his nephew said, "Big ...... Miss, the silver reported in Yuanzhou this year has not risen. ”

"Oh, you're saying that this year's wages haven't risen in the slightest?"

"Yes, yes!"

"What about previous years?"

"To...... Previous years......"

"Yes, the silver has not risen this year, but I see that the annual salary in this account has increased a lot every year. This tea farmer is arrogant, it has risen for the first year, and it has risen for several years in a row, Miss Ben doesn't think that this year alone, they will suddenly have a kind heart and no longer raise the price. ”

With a smile and a slight glance, Xiao Chu didn't say anything about this tea field, she wanted to see how much truth she could spit out from this nephew's mouth.

"This ...... This ......" was obviously another disappointment, seeing that this person was still unwilling to explain honestly, Xiao Chusu immediately called Xiang Zhu and asked her to report the case to the official office. As soon as he heard that the eldest lady was really going to report to the government, how could this nephew dare to be in Zhiwu, and immediately said: "Eldest Miss, in the past few years, when I reported the number, I also mentioned the silver, swallowed, swallowed the kickback." ”

"It seems that this ridiculously high silver is not because the tea farmer is arrogant, but because the shopkeeper of Tang has produced a mouse, so that his own mouse has drilled into the air and taken out rice and silver." Sneered, and said: "I don't know how much the nephew of the shopkeeper Tang has deceived in the past few years." ”

This is his own nephew, and the shopkeeper Tang has always believed in him, and it is because he believes that the affairs of the Yuanzhou Tea Field Office were handed over to him. No one in this world can be trusted, and only one's relatives can be trusted.

Believing is because of believing, so everything is handed over to him, and it is precisely because of believing that he feels what he says over the years. But he never thought that this nephew, who he believed in, would do such a bastard behind his back.

Privately swallowed the silver taels that the family had granted to the tea field, and the amount of greed was still a lot, when he learned that this bastard had been greedy under his own nose for so many years, the shopkeeper Tang almost didn't make this breath in his heart faint.

Raising his hand and pointing, the shopkeeper Tang said, "You...... You...... You bastard are trying to me off. ”

"What the nephew of Shopkeeper Tang did, it is not that Shopkeeper Tang doesn't know." As soon as Xiao Chusu's words fell, the heart of the shopkeeper Tang came up directly, and he hurriedly looked at Xiao Chusu, and the shopkeeper Tang said, "Miss, I really don't know about this thing." I never imagined that this bastard would betray my trust and swallow the money under my nose. Miss, I'm ......."

"That's it!" She was not interested in listening to the words later, and directly raised her hand to signal the shopkeeper Tang not to continue, Xiao Chuxuan said: "This kickback is swallowed silently enough, although the head of the tea shop is your Tang shopkeeper, but after all, the tea shop belongs to my Xiao family, and the Tang shopkeeper doesn't know how to mention snacks when employing people?" ”

glanced at it unceremoniously, and then floated this sentence, and after Luo Piao, he didn't look at the shopkeeper Tang, but looked at his nephew and said.

"Over the past few years, how much oil and water have you made from the tea shop?"

"This ...... This ......"

"The eldest lady asked you, you are not honest, do you really plan to twist into the official office before you can say it?" It's all about it, and this nephew who doesn't do anything still wants to hide it. This kind of thing actually happened under his nose, and for the shopkeeper Tang, who thinks too highly of himself, he naturally can't hang his face.

was angry, and seeing that his nephew refused to explain honestly, he didn't care that Xiao Chusu was still sitting on it, so he stepped forward and poked his nephew's head fiercely.

asked the shopkeeper Tang to poke it like this, and the nephew didn't dare to hide it, and hurriedly said: "Answer Miss, in the past few years, the small one has probably swallowed two or three percent of the kickback." ”

"Two or three percent, you kid actually swallowed two or three percent of the kickback?"

The amount of tea produced by the Xiao family's tea field every year is extremely considerable, and the wages and silver paid are naturally not a small number. Although I have been greedy for two or three percent of the silver in the past few years, but when these two or three percent are added, it is an astonishing amount. This sum of money is enough for him to stay in prison for half his life.

The nephew swallowed the kickback, but he didn't expect him to swallow so much, and immediately the shopkeeper Tang almost fainted. The pestle gasped a few times in a row, and pressed down the fire in his heart, and the shopkeeper Tang said angrily: "You bastard boy, because I believe in you so much, all the errands for inspecting the tea fields are handed over to you." But what about you, what about you, that's how you do things for me. ”

"Uncle, my nephew knows it's wrong, the eldest miss, the little one knows it's wrong, the eldest lady doesn't send the little one to the official office." The kind of place in the official office makes people feel scared just by listening to it, although silver is important, but compared to life, most people still cherish their lives. After swallowing so much in a row, he was scared when he knew it, and Xiao Chusu really disdained such people.

looked at the nephew who was kneeling there begging for mercy, and although he was so angry that he almost rolled his eyes and fainted, he still had the cheekiness to beg for forgiveness. Xiao Chu pursed his lips and raised his eyebrows, the left side of his eyebrows was slightly raised, and the corners of his lips were also hooked to the left. The hooked lips sneered, and said after laughing.

"Don't send you to the government, Miss, I'm not the kind of person who likes to kill them all, I was thinking in my heart, if you are willing to honestly recruit all the money, and spit out the silver taels that you have embezzled, is this official mansion? It is also possible not to send it. After all, I haven't been to a place like an official office, although I've never been there, but I've heard a little about it, and it's really not a place where people can stay. If you are really sent there, who knows that when you come out, you will still be in good condition. But your kid doesn't appreciate it, half of the words are left and half are left, and he refuses to be honest. You're playing tricks on me here, and you want me to spare your life? ”

The first half of the sentence was said quietly and softly, and there was not much anger to hear, but the next few words suddenly became heavy, especially the last sentence, almost angry. Anger surged, and his hand fell heavily on the desk, and the rebeat frightened his nephew's heart again.

The nephew was frightened here, and the shopkeeper Tang, how could he still have the heart to take care of it, after listening to the eldest lady's words, he knew that this useless nephew might not be honest, and he hurriedly hated iron and steel.

"When is this happening, you are still hiding, is it possible that you really want to enter the yamen, please ask the official to be punished, and you kid is willing to recruit all?"

"Miss, uncle, I really said it all." This face was twisted, looking at his nephew like this, I am afraid that he really said it all, the shopkeeper Tang hurriedly looked at Xiao Chuxuan and said.

"Miss, this kid seems to have said it all."

"It's all said, so in the past few years, you are only greedy for two or three percent?"

"Yes, Miss, the small one is really only greedy for those two or three percent, and in the past, I was afraid of being discovered, so I didn't dare to be greedy, but it was only in the past two years."

"It's just that in the past two years, I found that the shopkeeper Tang trusted you and never explored the matter of the bank, and the owner was a fool who didn't care about anything, so he simply let go of his hand and was a little greedy?"

This owner refers to Xiao Chu's own self, who dares to nod his head in response to his sarcastic words. nodded subconsciously, and then realized what Xiao Chusu had just said, which was surrounded by the nephew who was so frightened that his heart and liver trembled were crying at this time. With a bitter face, the nephew said.

"Miss, the little one, it's not that meaning, the little one, the little one, it's all a little greed, a little bastard, beg the big lady to spare the little one." As he spoke, he raised his hand and slapped himself one after another. Every time he fanned it, he really didn't even leave any affection, and he felt that his face hurt when he saw it. Immediately leaned over to Xiao Chusu, and Xiang Zhu said softly.

"Miss, it seems that this guy is really only greedy for two or three percent of the silver." As soon as the words fell, Xiao Chu frowned, and it was this frown that did not let go of Xiang Zhu that made Xiang Zhu feel that something was wrong, and he paused, and then asked: "Miss, I'm afraid there is a side to this matter, right?" ”

After the words of inquiry, seeing Xiao Chuxuan pick up the account on the side, he glanced at it hastily and then whispered: "It's only greedy for two or three percent, it's not appropriate." ”

"Miss, why not?"

"If it's only two or three percent, the cost of this tea is still high."

Although he had never dealt with the tea field before, and he didn't know what the situation was here, but with many years of dominance in the shopping mall, Xiao Chuxuan still instinctively felt that the tea farmers were still paying a high salary after deducting two or three percent of the tea. frowned and looked at the accounts in his hand, because these accounts had been read dozens of times, and the data here was clear.

After reading it, I glanced at it hastily, and I knew seven or eight points in my heart.

Putting the accounts back on the table, raising his eyes to look at his nephew who had unconsciously stopped slapping himself, Xiao Chushu asked, "I asked you something." ”

"Miss, you ask."

"Every time you go to Yuanzhou, it is the tea farmers who come to you in person to ask for wages? The amount of this salary, as well as the annual renovation silver required for the tea field, were also checked by you personally? ”

"This ......"

"What? This is more important than the money you covet, can't you say? ”

"No, no, you misunderstood, the eldest lady, there is something that the little one can't tell the eldest lady. Although the young ones have gone to Yuanzhou in person these years, everything needed for this tea field has already been sorted out and handed over directly to the small ones when the small ones arrive. ”

"You'll have your accounts in order?"

The shopkeeper said: "Yes, the tea shop asks for a lot of tea every year, and Kyoto and Yuanzhou are far away, so it is inevitable that there will be a lot of delays on the way." Tea is about time, if you can't catch up with the new tea at that time, the taste will be inferior. In order to be able to buy good tea as soon as possible, and in order to prevent too long delays on the road, the wrong time, and in order to reduce the cost, the lord simply opened a tea field in Yuanzhou and left a principal there. Over the years, the affairs of the tea fields have been in charge of the affairs of the tea fields, and whatever is needed there is all listed in the accounts and sent to Kyoto, Kyoto gave the next batch of silver to that place. As for the tea that was picked, it was all waiting for someone from Kyoto to send over, and after testing the tea, it was sent directly to Kyoto. ”

"I see." Nodding his head, this is a good way to grab first-hand good tea when the tea production is just out, and save expenses on the road. For Master Xiao's decision, Xiao Chusu naturally agreed, but recognition is recognition, and the greasy thing hidden here still makes her sarcastic.

He nodded first, acknowledging that this was indeed a good idea, but after nodding, Xiao Chuxuan said with a smile: "It's indeed a good way to do a little bit in Yuanzhou, but it's ......"

"Miss, but what?" Xiang Zhu was suspicious, and Xiao Chuxuan said: "But it's easy to raise rats." He chuckled, snorted, and said.

"The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, and the head snake is the easiest to prevent from it, it seems that our Xiao family's tea shop has not only raised a mouse, but also hid a big rat that is so fat that it can flow oil in the Yuanzhou tea garden."

I thought that this thing was all from the hands of the nephew of the shopkeeper Tang, but I didn't think that people were not greedy to the point of being angry with others.

All the expenses that the tea workshop has spent on the tea field over the years, I think most of them are not in the nephew's pocket, but in the other mouse hole.

Yuanzhou Tea Field, she had already made up her mind to handle it herself, so it seemed that this trip was really unavoidable.

Yu raised his eyebrows, then smiled, and looked at the account book on the table, Xiao Chuxuan also began to think about it.
