Chapter 36 Theft of the Treasury
Ji Tianyou's work is not as important as she imagined, and she even feels dispensable.
She sat in the great hall, casually wiping down the tables and chairs. Xiaolian was busy, and the figures in and out shook her in a hurry.
"Look at your sweaty appearance, let me help you, why is this kid so stubborn." Ji Tianyou said that he was about to roll up his sleeves and help, but was once again simply rejected by Xiaolian.
"Everyone here has their own scope of work, and if you help me, it means that I can't complete this job, and the shopkeeper will be unhappy, and I'm afraid that I will be fired."
Ji Tianyou picked up his tablecloth depressedly and continued to wipe the mahogany table that had been wiped several times. She muttered boredly: "Why are you busy and lack manpower, is there a lack of someone to wipe the table?" ”
At this time, someone in the courtyard shouted, "The second master is back." Then I saw that the people who were originally busy were even busier, the shopkeeper stepped forward and whispered something, Ji Tianyou only heard the word "lint", Jiang Zili nodded, threw the things in his hand to the person next to him, signaled the shopkeeper to continue, and walked and chatted into the office, when passing by Ji Tianyou, he glanced at her without a trace, and Ji Tianyou quickly pretended to be very busy and serious.
"It's finally gone." Xiaolian let out a long sigh of relief.
"You're afraid of him, huh?" Ji Tianyou covered his mouth and smiled, this ability to pretend to be diligent in front of his superiors made them laugh together.
"Although the second master is good, he is very serious in his work, and he is not emotional, and he will not tolerate mistakes. I'm most afraid of him. Xiaolian rolled up her sleeves and prepared for another round of work.
Ji Tianyou looked at the rag in his hand, and suddenly felt envious, heroes have to be useful.
The shopkeeper came back and shouted "God bless", saying that the second master asked her to go. Ji Tianyou rushed in, she thought that there was finally an arrangement, and there was no need to spend it here.
As soon as he entered the door, he was pushed over a stack of thick notebooks by Jiang Zili, and the man said expressionlessly: "This is the manifest, you study it, learn to record, and start taking over the warehouse tomorrow." ”
Ji Tianyou picked up a book, carefully flipped through it, saw the neatly sorted list, and was inexplicably excited, a few months and days, how much cloth was in storage, how much was out of the warehouse, whether there was a single extraction, who took it, extremely detailed, although it was complicated, but it was very simple, I originally felt that there was a sense of rustiness to catch ducks on the shelves, but now I was inexplicably relieved.
"Okay, no problem." Ji Tianyou replied with a slight smile, looking confident.
Jiang Zili hurriedly looked up at her and said lightly: "Don't be too happy, although the matter is simple but complicated, if you make a mistake, you must be held responsible." ”
Ji Tianyou nodded weakly, after all, she hadn't done it, but she had the determination to go all out.
Early the next morning, Ji Tianyou came to the warehouse to report, and with her was an older man, who took one out of a large pile of keys and opened the door of warehouse No. 3.
The cloth pushed like a mountain scared Ji Tianyou.
"Girl, come in, the person in charge of this warehouse has asked for leave, and there is no other manpower for a while, so I have to leave it like this for the time being, you are here, but some of them have done it." The old man waved his hand as he spoke, and called out to the two young men, "You can let the two of you carry the finished product to the whole table and pack the boxes." ”
Ji Tianyou thanked him, made a brief self-introduction and began to work.
Fortunately, the two young men didn't talk much, they just worked quietly, and they weren't slippery people. When I first arrived, the combination was like an old friend. Ji Tianyou worked hard, but he simply ate some meals at noon, and spent the whole day classifying, counting to the account book, and then packing according to the regulations.
It took three days in a row for the warehouse to calm down. Of course, a new batch of cloth has arrived.
It was so busy that it was dark, Ji Tianyou twisted his stiff neck, and the first thing he did when he walked out of the warehouse was to think of Su Xiaoman's face, "I don't know what happened to that guy?" She muttered to herself as she closed the door to the warehouse, holding the lock and preparing to close it.
"Bang", something next to it fell down, Ji Tianyou looked at it, and didn't find anything wrong, and when he turned around, he found that the door that had not yet been locked was opened a little crack.
"It must have been the wind." She muttered to herself, nervously locked the door and left.
This night, the wind and waves were calm, and Ji Tianyou slept very soundly. Until Xiaolian hurriedly shook her awake, she was still in a dream that she didn't want to wake up.
"Sister Tianyou, don't sleep, something is wrong." Xiaolian panted and said, "The storehouse has been stolen." ”
Ji Tianyou was in a trance for a moment, and sat up with a pout, "Stolen, what is the library?" ”
Xiaolian had some scruples, and pointed at Ji Tianyou with an ugly expression, "The second master has already brought someone over to check, and he has also reported to the official, but fortunately, there is not much loss, only some silk with a slightly higher price." ”
Ji Tianyou suddenly felt that the sky was about to fall, and he was about to run out with a piece of clothing, and he swore a few days ago that he would confidently agree to someone else's business, and there was a leak in only three days, which made her heart still quiet.
When she ran to the third warehouse, the crowd had just been dismissed. Jiang Zili was still talking to the people from the police department. Ji Tianyou ran into the warehouse and found that the wooden box that was originally stacked at the bottom of the corner had been pried open, and only this box was silk in the entire warehouse, and the rest of the cloth was intact.
What does this mean? Ji Tianyou's head hurt a little, and she couldn't help but think of the two young men who were tidying up the warehouse with her, but they looked so honest that they didn't even talk much. When I walked to the door of the storeroom again, I suddenly remembered the open crack in the door, could it be that I came in at that time, and how did I get out?
Ji Tianyou walked back and forth in the storeroom, and the more she thought about it, the easier it was to point the finger at the two teenagers. But why? has no hatred or resentment, but wants to harm himself.
Ji Tianyou looked at Jiang Zili and wanted to explain, but he had been busy, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was unnecessary, if he decided that he was not doing well, it would be a helpless thing, after all, he had nothing to do with her at this time.
He walked back dejectedly, locking himself in the house without washing or eating, and stayed until noon. She didn't care that she couldn't make mistakes, but she couldn't tolerate the fact that the person who had looked down on her in the first place now looked down on herself, and she was still counting on this time to raise her eyebrows.
Ji Tianyou hid in the quilt and sighed, she had never disliked herself like now, she lamented: "If only I had been more careful at that time, I would have opened the storeroom and had a look." ”
"If you had opened it, I guess I wouldn't have been able to lie here and lament right now." Jiang Zi was some distance away from the bed, looking at the quilt wrapped in a ball, and wanted to laugh. When he heard about the theft of her treasury early this morning, the first thing he thought about was her safety, not what he had lost. Until this moment, he didn't feel anything wrong.
Ji Tianyou heard Jiang Zili's voice, and she didn't dare to face it, she hid in the quilt and was ashamed, kept apologizing, and cried into tears.
