Chapter 161: A Huge Sum of Money That Disappeared

Ignoring the words in his ear, Helian continued to pull the petals until he looked at the last petal left, and a mouthful of blood was in his throat, why did the result be the same three times?

Standing up with a rub, he threw the flower with only one petal left in his hand: "Don't play, it's not allowed at all." ”

Qi Rui was close to her, but she didn't expect her to stand up suddenly, startled, and suddenly fell to the ground: "Ouch!"

Seeing this, the maid who followed Qi Rui hurriedly walked over to help her: "Miss, are you okay?"

One of the maids supported Qi Rui, who was frowning, and then looked at Helian Xing, who was standing on the side and completely unresponsive, and immediately reprimanded: "What's the matter with you? Didn't you see the young grandmother fall? ”

Originally, because of Qi Rui's painful cry, she reacted that there were still people around her, and Helian Ying, who was about to say sorry, decisively withdrew the words that came to her mouth after hearing the maid's name for her and her domineering attitude.

Glancing at the maid with a disdainful face, he said indifferently: "What are you, dare to talk to this girl like this?"

Qi Rui was a little distracted because of the sudden pain, and only after the maid said that she reacted, she wanted to stop it but it was too late, she looked up at her sister-in-law with some worry, and after facing her smiling face, her heart couldn't help but tremble, and her sister-in-law laughed so terrible.

Seeing that the maid next to her still wanted to speak, she hurriedly scolded: "Presumptuous, why don't you kneel down and apologize to your cousin?"

This maid was sent by her husband to take care of her, she just came yesterday, and it is normal not to know her sister-in-law, but she didn't expect that she would be so blind, so she spoke to her sister-in-law.

Thinking of his cousin's love for his cousin-in-law, if he knew...... glanced at the frightened pale maid beside her, sighed silently, the sympathy in her eyes flashed, you ask for more blessings!

When the maid heard the name of her young grandmother, her mind instantly became blank, and her face turned pale, and she reacted after a few seconds, and quickly knelt down: "Young grandma spare her life, the slave doesn't know it's you, beg the young grandma to spare her life, spare your life!"

The smile on Helian Ying's face was a little brighter, but these smiles didn't reach the bottom of his eyes, and he didn't look at the maid who was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing desperately to beg for mercy, and said with a smile: "This girl is not a young grandmother, she can't afford such a big gift, Miss Qi, such a maid with no rules and no distance is still good to discipline, it's okay to be so unruly in front of this girl today, if it's like this in front of outsiders, it will lose your identity and lose the face of the Qi family." ”

Seeing Qi Rui's face turn blue and red for a while, her smile narrowed a little, and she continued: "If Miss Qi can't discipline her, this girl doesn't mind doing it for her. ”

The maid was drenched in cold sweat when she heard it, knelt on the ground tremblingly, and kowtowed vigorously and begged for mercy: "Young grandma, the slave knows that she is wrong, the slave and the maid will never dare in the future, the young grandmother will spare her life!"

Qi Rui's body was also trembling slightly, although the other party kept smiling, she could feel the compelling momentum emanating from the other party.

Her face became a little pale, her cousin-in-law didn't like them in the first place, and now that something like this has happened, I'm afraid she will hate her even more.

He opened his mouth to say something, but he didn't know what to say, so he could only stand there and look at her in a daze.

Seeing that she couldn't refute it, Helian pouted, it was really boring, she was scared and didn't know what to say in two sentences, such a person was bullied, there was no sense of accomplishment at all, or forget it, boring, too boring.

When Long Yin came to the back garden, he saw the little guy's boring expression, and his cousin was standing trembling aside, and there was a maid kneeling on the ground who kept kowtowing.

His eyes darkened slightly, and he couldn't help but speed up a little at his feet, walked to them, stretched out his hand to take the person into his arms, and then said, "What's wrong, Nettle? Who made you unhappy?"

Helian Wei glanced at Qi Rui lightly, then leaned into his arms and shook his head: "It's okay, Yin, let's go back to the room!"

Qi Rui breathed a sigh of relief slightly after Long Yin appeared, and called in a low voice: "Cousin." ”

Long Yin just smiled lightly and nodded to her, as if he had said hello, his sharp eyes swept over the maid who was kneeling on the ground, did not say anything, and walked towards the small courtyard where he lived with the little guy in his arms.

Looking at their distant backs, Qi Rui really breathed a sigh of relief, her body softened, she slammed twice, and was supported by the maid next to her so that she didn't slide off the ground.

He exhaled heavily, looked at the maid on the ground whose forehead had been blurred with blood, and sighed lowly: "Hey, you get up! Tomorrow I will tell Xianggong, I don't need you to serve, go back to the city lord's mansion, Xiaoyun, go and ask a doctor to take a look at her." ”

"Yes, Miss!" Xiao Yun is the maid who has been serving by Qi Rui's side, looking at the person kneeling on the ground, the disgust in his eyes flashed, hum, he deserved it, he looked great and superior when he came.

Long Yin looked at the little guy in his arms who was not very interested, and was a little worried: "Nettle, if you are unhappy, tell me, and I will help you get angry." ”

"No, it's just a little depressed!" Helian responded lightly, his mood was indeed a little depressed, Qi Yuanhong was normal these days, he didn't find fault and didn't do other actions.

The other people's ranks are too low, it's not fun at all, and if she goes on like this, she will definitely be bored to death.

Long Yin looked at her with a smile and didn't speak again, the two returned to their residences, looked at Qingshuang and the others who were cleaning in the courtyard, and waved their hands to them: "You all go down!"

Qingshuang and the others stopped what they were doing, and responded in unison: "Yes!" and then retreated.

When the two entered the house, Long Yin hugged the little guy and gave her a deep kiss, and when she kissed Fang Xiu, she gasped slightly and whispered on her forehead: "Nettle, will you give me a baby?"

Helian Ying's eyes, which were still a little confused, instantly became clear, his ears turned red, and he unceremoniously raised his hand to push the person away, and glanced at him: "Don't give birth to you, go away, go away, you haven't done anything yet!"

Long Yin stood in place, looking at the little guy who was pretending to be holding an account book and flipping through it, smiling with a sly face, hehe, little thing, you can't help it if you are born or not.

The light in his eyes flashed, and he also walked over, and took one of the books of the account book that Qi Yuanhong gave him the day before yesterday and read it.

Helian Ying was really pretending to be watching at first, just to prevent Long Yin from saying anything that made her both shy and crazy.

At this time, he slowly became serious, and after reading one, he naturally picked up the other one, and these account books were recorded by month.

A ledger records all the money transactions of a store for a year, and when he finished reading the third book, Helian Xing's brows furrowed, as if something was not right?

Picked up the two books I had just finished reading and walked to the table next to me and spread them out, flipped to the same month of the book in my hand, and carefully checked it.

Seeing her movements, Long Yin was a little puzzled, walked over and looked at her serious appearance, and his expression became more serious: "What's wrong, what did you find?"

Helian Xun didn't reply, but carefully compared the account details of the three account books, and when he saw a certain point, his eyes lit up: "Found it, Yin, look here." He pointed to a place in one of the ledgers.

Then he pointed to one of the other two ledgers: "And here and here, do you feel that something is wrong?"

Long Yin followed her finger and found that this was a large expenditure, as much as 100,000 taels, but the records on the account book were very vague, it could be said that there was no specific record at all, let alone what the money was used for, nor where did it go?

There is also the same place in the other two account books, but the number is smaller, one is 50,000 taels, and the other is 70,000 taels.

Looking at the month recorded in the account book, the light in his eyes flashed, if this is a coincidence, it is too coincidental, these three silver with unknown whereabouts and unknown purposes were all spent three months ago, and it was only written on it for business expenses, but according to his understanding in the past few days, the Qi family has not had any new business developments in recent months, that is, there are no branches or major things to do.

Qijia's business is developing steadily, it can be said that it has a deep foundation and a solid foundation, and the monthly income is also very impressive.

But the whereabouts of such hundreds of thousands of taels of silver are unknown, which makes people have to be suspicious.

Helian Xun looked at the thoughtful Long Yin, took the account book in his hand, flipped to the same month to check, and found that there was also a small amount of expenditure, but the whereabouts were unknown: "Yin, there is also a book on it." ”

The Qi family has a total of nine stores in Phoenix, including jewelry and jade, a restaurant and silk shop, as well as a money village and rice shop.

Long Yin glanced at the account book in Helian Ying's hand, turned around and took the other two books together, and found the same month.

Qi Yuanhong gave him a total of six account books, except for Qian Zhuang and two other restaurants, all of which were here.

Looking at the unknown expenditure of the six books in the same month, Long Yin and Helian Ying's expressions became solemn.

This money is not a small amount of money, and it can be used for many things.

Helian Xin stroked the numbers on one of the account books, and looked thoughtful: "I want to know, where did all this money go, and what was it used for?"

"I want to know too. Long Yin's voice was a little low, and the cold light in his eyes flashed, it seems that this matter must be investigated.

Helian Xun rolled his eyes, suddenly turned his head and said to Long Yin with a smile: "Sect Master, since you don't know, why don't we go and ask the uncle, maybe he knows!"

When Long Yin heard her proposal, he was stunned for a moment, and then said with a clear smile: "It's still smart to be smart, let's go, let's go and ask the uncle." ”
