Chapter 41: Peeling Back the Thread

Although Luo Zheng is not in business, after all, he is in a noble family, so he naturally knows how many articles can be done on a small account book. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

When Luo Qingran heard him say this, he nodded secretly in his heart, but his face was not obvious, and he only said: "Dad, you better look at the account books first, and then make a decision." ”

"It's okay," Luo Zheng nodded, and called Mu Xi again, "You go and invite Luo Zhong over." ”

Mu Xi obediently turned around and left.

After a while, Luo Zhong came, he entered the hall, and saluted a few people first, and then sat down under Luo Zheng's orders.

"You should also know, Luo San came here just now, and he sent me the account book of the private shop under my name, saying that he asked me to check the accounts," he said, pushing the account book in hand forward a few points, "I called you here to let you help me see if there is anything wrong with this account book." ”

"Yes, don't worry, sir." Luo Zhong listened and agreed.

Luo Zheng then instructed Mu Xi, holding the stack of account books, and went to the study.

The people hurried after him, and they passed together.

When he arrived in the study, Luo Zheng asked Mu Xi to go out to guard the door, and took the lead in taking a book to read it.

Luo Qingran and Ye glanced at each other, picked up a copy, and looked at it little by little.

For a moment, the room was filled with the rustle of papers.

Luo Qingran is different from them, she actually knows where these shops are boring. In the previous life, she had secretly probed when she found out that something was wrong with her second uncle, so she knew very well.

Although those people under the second uncle are very clever, Luo Qingran in the previous life has been immersed in these schemes for many years, no matter how clever the fake accounts are, as long as they carefully explore and peel off the cocoon, they will always find problems.

However, she couldn't directly point out the problems now, so she pretended to scratch her head like them and looked at them carefully.

Several people kept seeing that on the eve of dinner, An's said back and forth that the big kitchen was going to pass the meal, so he had to put it down.

After reading part of the account books, Luo Zheng had already saved a lot of anger in his heart. He has five private shops under his name, all of which are in the best locations in Huajing, but now there is only one grocery store that makes money? Most of these small shops pay attention to small profits and quick turnover, where can they make a lot of money? And the most profitable "Bogu Zhai" in the hands of his father back then is now in a state of deficit every month!

"Master, there is indeed something wrong with this account book. It's just..."Luo Zhong also saw that something was wrong, but if he wanted to say exactly what the problem was, he really couldn't say it for a while.

At this time, I heard Luo Qingran suddenly say, "Huh? Why does this 'Bogu Zhai' have business dealings with a shop called 'Yutai Pavilion' in the south every month? It's nothing... But how is it that the amount of money in this business is always so large? Dad, isn't 'Bogu Zhai' an antique shop? As he spoke, he looked at Luo Zheng with a very puzzled look.

Luo Zheng was said by his daughter like this, and a flash of inspiration! He took the account book in his daughter's hand, looked through it from beginning to end, and then handed it to Luo Zhong.

Luo Zhong also looked at it from the beginning after taking it.

"I see! The eldest lady is right, it was the minions who were negligent. Master, this account has a huge amount of output, although antiques and curiosities sometimes cost a lot, but if there is such a money exchange with the same shop every month, it must be wrong! Luo Zhong put down the account book in his hand and couldn't help but clap his hands and say yes.

"Well, that's good," Luo Zheng also nodded, "This 'Bogu Zhai' is my father's favorite shop, when he was still an old man, he spent a lot of effort to run it, and he made a lot of profits every year, but now... It has become a deficit every month! ”

"Is there anything wrong with that? The second brother comes to tell me every month that the private shop Zhuangzi under the name of the master is like this! "Ye obviously hasn't turned this corner yet.

"Mother, think about it carefully," Luo Qingran took Ye's hand, "Dad has five private shops and eight Zhuangzi, and after a year, he only earned a few hundred taels of silver, but looking at the records in these account books, the business is obviously not bad, but why do most of them keep losing money?" ”

"You mean..."Ye Shi covered his lips with his hands in surprise, not daring to say any more.

Luo Zheng exhaled a breath of turbidity, gritted his teeth, and asked Luo Zhong, "Do you have anyone you can trust?" ”

Luo Zheng thought for a while and replied: "There is a man named Xu Yin, who is my son and nephew, who has a good character, is loyal and reliable, and can be trusted. ”

"That's good," Luo Zheng nodded, "You can take a little bit, let him go to Jiangnan in person, and find out what this 'Yutai Pavilion' is, who is the boss behind the scenes, and tell him to be careful and not let others know." ”

"Yes, sir, don't worry, the slave will definitely give Xu Yin a good explanation." With that, Luo Zhong bowed and went down to make arrangements.

After Luo Zhong left, Luo Zheng sat in front of the bookcase for a long time.

It wasn't until An came forward again that it was ready to eat, that Luo Zheng got up and took Ye and his daughter to the front dining room.

When they arrived at the place, they saw that Luo Qingchen and Du Ruo were already there, so Luo Zheng asked everyone to eat first.

When it was time for dinner, several people sat down and talked for a while, and then they dispersed to rest.

Luo Qingran estimated that Luo Zheng definitely wanted to look at the account books again, so he didn't bother him, so he went back with his brother and Du Ruo.

On the way, Luo Qingchen pulled her and asked her why she came with her father and mother, or from the direction of her father's study, he always felt as if he had missed something?

Du Ruo also looked at her curiously.

Luo Qingran cautiously glanced around, and saw that there was no one around, so he whispered: "In the afternoon, Luo San, the housekeeper in my father's private shop, came over with the account book, and I just went to send an apple drink to my father, and when I saw that he wanted to check the accounts, I went with him. ”

"Oh," Luo Qingchen frowned when he heard this, "Could it be that Luo San made false accounts to fool his father!" ”

"Exactly," Luo Qingran nodded slightly, "This Luo San, who thinks that his fake accounts are seamless, and when his father can't find out, he blatantly sent over all the account books of the past few years!" ”

"Ungrateful villain!" Luo Qingchen couldn't help but take a sip.

"This Luo San, is it very big?" Du Ruo listened to their brothers and sisters, and they were confused.

"Sister Du doesn't know," Luo Qingran sighed, "This Luo San was originally the son of the family surnamed Hou Fu, he grew up with his father, and his father has always been very close to him, and later promoted him to be the chief steward of his own private shop." It's unpredictable, who would have thought that he is now on my second uncle's side. ”

"Oh, no wonder you're all so angry!" Du Ruo said suddenly.

The three of them said a few more words, and then they dispersed.
