Chapter 266: Lost Silver Inside

Lin Changyuan had the heart to call the big shopkeeper to ask.

But thinking that the young grandmother actually gave the accounts to him and Yuhui to check, it means that there must be something wrong with the accounts...... If there is a problem with the accounts, the natural treasurer will not be able to get out of it.

The so-called catching thieves and catching dirty, he can't let the big shopkeeper admit that he is stealing. “…… You don't know how sad Yuhui's face is. She has been with the young grandmother for so many years, and she has never made a mistake in her work, and she has also checked these accounts, and she has not seen anything wrong, so she handed them over to the young grandmother. But I didn't want to go wrong. Did you kid listen to me...... I just said that Yuhui is a little sad, you have a soul that does not possess your body, and Yuhui has not married into your Cheng family, so you will start to love your wife. Isn't it early? ”

Lin Changyuan is now sour grapes psychological.

Although the young grandmother said that this is called 'wanting to capture and indulge', if he let it go and didn't catch it, wouldn't he even have a wife. Therefore, seeing Cheng Jin's 'thinking * spring' appearance, his mood was naturally very low. Cheng Jin made a big red face. "Brother Lin is talking nonsense, I don't have anything, it's just that it damages Yuhui's reputation, although we are an unmarried couple, but we are innocent." "I didn't say that you weren't innocent, you're just too rigid. I mentioned you in front of Yuhui, but people pursed their lips and smiled again and again, but I didn't see anything discredited. Lin Changyuan muttered.

Cheng Jin simply looked down at the accounts, and looked like he didn't hear Lin Changyuan's gossip.

Lin Changyuan shook his head, feeling a little melancholy that heroes were useless. Soon. The room fell silent, and only the sound of the ledger being flipped could be heard......

Brush, brush. Page by page, Cheng Jin looked at it seriously, and Lin Changyuan also tried to see the strings of numbers on the ledger into his eyes. It's just that after reading the book, he still couldn't find anything wrong. Lin Changyuan sighed: "Ah Jin, can you see what's wrong?" ”

Cheng Jin wrung his eyebrows and did not respond.

He also calculated the ledger from beginning to end, and the notes were very clear. And the handwriting is legible. There is no falsification or falsification. If Lin Changyuan can't see it, it's understandable. After all, he is Langzhong, and reading the account book is a side job, but he is the shopkeeper, holding dozens of shops in his hands.

If only anyone could lie under his nose. Doesn't that mean that he is incompetent as a treasurer?

"You don't have to rush. I've been watching it all night. I didn't see anything wrong with it. You've only been watching it for half an hour......" "I see. Suddenly, Cheng Jin spoke.

Understood, understood? Lin Changyuan looked at Cheng Jin with a puzzled expression. "Brother Lin. You see, here, here, and here...... An input corresponds to a sale. If you look at these few strokes, they don't seem to be much, but when you calculate it, it's one less than a one. Cheng Jin pointed back and forth on the accounts, and his eyes could not hide his surprise.

How could it be?

He's got a trick...... Lin Changyuan opened the account book in his hand like Cheng Jin, and then counted carefully, and his heart sank.

Is that really the case?

How does it work? "This account alone is nearly a thousand taels of silver." Lin Changyuan finally said coldly. He alone has thirty or fifty ledgers here, doesn't that mean? Even the account book in his hand was less than thirty or fifty thousand taels.

Yuhui still has half there.

In this rough calculation, in this year alone, the income of the shop was less than 60,000 or 70,000 taels of silver.

Sixty or seventy thousand taels?

Lin Changyuan felt that his heart was no longer sinking, but couldn't stop jumping up and down.

The old shopkeeper couldn't be more familiar with him, but he has always been in charge of the second master's industry. And every year the income has increased unabated, not only him, but even the master will never doubt the old shopkeeper.

But I didn't want the accounts to have such a big problem.

"Ah Jin, here's a big problem." Cheng Jin nodded. "What's the big problem, I think the shopkeepers of all the shops of the second master are probably inseparable."

"How do you think I'm going to get back to my young grandmother tomorrow? When the second master comes back, how can he tell the second master? ”

“…… If you report it truthfully, the young grandmother is afraid that she has already planned in her heart. Cheng Jin said with a wry smile. In terms of insight into opportunities, he and Lin Changyuan together are not as good as Xie Ke. Although it is a bit embarrassing to say, there are not many people in this world who can admire Cheng Jin.

Xie Ke and Qi Lu both convinced him from the bottom of his heart.

Lin Changyuan nodded with a bitter face. "That's all there is to it. I don't even think I have the face to see my grandmother now. The account also passed through his hands, and then he entered the inner house. The inner house was first seen by Yuhui, and finally sent to the young grandmother.

But neither he nor Yuhui saw the problem.

At the same time, Yuhui's residence also let out a soft cry...... It turns out that the problem turned out to be here.

***

On the second day, Xie Ke fed his daughter and handed Mingyue into the hands of Wang's mother.

Only then did he get up and go to the study in the outer courtyard.

Yuhui followed behind Xie Ke, always silent. In fact, Xie Ke didn't mean to blame the two, speaking of which, it is really no wonder that the two of them are too fine, this account is too fine, in the eyes of others, it may be perfect and impeccable, but Xie Ke did the opposite, so he saw the flaw.

Seeing Xie Ke, Lin Changyuan and Cheng Jin bowed down.

Then Lin Changyuan knelt on the ground with a thud. "Young grandmother, it's all because of the carelessness of her subordinates, and she asked the young grandmother to condemn herself." At this time, Yuhui also knelt beside Xie Ke. "The slave and maid are not careful enough, so they can't see the mistake, so please ask the young grandmother to do the same."

Cheng Jin, who was on the side, saw the expression on Yuhui's face, and couldn't help but look worried.

Xie Ke sat down slowly, looked at Lin Changyuan and Yuhui in front of him, and finally said softly. "Get up, all of you, I have no intention of blaming you, but I hope that you will be more careful in your actions in the future. Ah Jin, let's talk about it first, how do you think this matter can be resolved? ”

Cheng Jin was taken aback, but he didn't expect to be asked first.

However, he can be in charge of so many shops, and he thinks that he has done everything well, so he naturally has some ability...... "The subordinates feel a little strange, even if there are a few guards who steal themselves, it is not strange." After all, knowing people and faces does not know their hearts. It's just that all shops act like this? This is clearly different. As for what exactly is the problem? I can't guess at the next time, but the big shopkeeper will definitely not be able to get rid of it. ”

Xie Ke nodded, his gaze turned to Lin Changyuan.

The subordinates felt that Ah Jin was right. According to his subordinates, he asked about the shopkeeper's lock. ”

“…… The slave maid felt that even if she asked, she couldn't ask why. Young grandmother, the slave didn't sleep all night last night. Then he looked at these ledgers, no matter who wrote the handwriting, but the method used was exactly the same. It's clearly collusive, and it seems like everyone is doing the same. The slave felt that the big shopkeeper was a hand and an eye, and he couldn't buy all the shopkeepers. There must be an inside story about this matter. Yuhui frowned.

When Yuhui said this, not only Lin Changyuan, but also Cheng Jin's face changed.

They didn't even think about this layer......

If you think about it along these lines, perhaps, this is not at all something that can be summed up by the word 'greedy ink'. Could it be that there is really something hidden here?

Xie Ke's expression on his face softened a little, and even brought a faint smile. These people, after all, still figured it out. After reading these accounts yesterday, she was also furious at first, thinking that the shopkeeper was so bold that she dared to act like this.

But in the dead of night, she couldn't help but think about it carefully.

Qi Lu's vision of people has always been good. How would he choose a self-thief to be the treasurer? You must know that this big treasurer, the power is not ordinary.

Everything in the shop is in charge of him. What's more, Qi Lu is a generous master, and he entrusts everything to the hands of the big shopkeeper. It can be seen that Qi Lu has great trust in that person.

Although Xie Ke had never seen the big shopkeeper, she couldn't feel whether that person was credible or not, but she trusted Qi Lu.

How could the person chosen by Qi Lu make such a big mistake? It's not hard to figure out this, since I don't believe that the shopkeeper's hands and eyes are so good that he can arrange all this. Then there's only one possibility...... That is the reason why the treasurer acts like this, and he acts according to orders. As for who can command the big treasurer, it is naturally Qi Lu.

Since Lin Changyuan and Yuhui both have this doubt, it means that although her conjecture seems to be nonsense, it is indeed very possible. Now she was just curious, what was all that silver used for?

So much money every year, and I don't know how long I've been doing this?

Come to think of it, it's a huge amount of money. “…… Young grandmother, have you asked the second master to make a decision? Lin Changyuan finally suggested.

"This matter is here for the time being, and the decision will be made after the second master returns home. As for the present...... Ah Jin, is there any news from the north? Cheng Jin nodded. The fourth master said that the surplus grain in the north can be used to help several towns. It's just that if you want to solve the danger of Great Wei. It also has to rely on the second master to think from those corrupt officials and profiteers. The fourth master also said that the northern border has been decided, and there is a big eagle leader in charge, and the fourth master will return in a few days......"

Uncle is coming back?

Xie Ke couldn't hide his joy in his heart. Then he instructed Lin Changyuan: "The idea is to send the news to the second master." ”

"Honor." Lin Changyuan's expression was solemn. At present, the capital is still peaceful, and the people who secretly calculated the Qi clan have not made a move.

Li Zhan's matter has begun to spread in the streets and alleys of the capital. Selling the owner for glory and backing the owner to collect money, Li Zhan can be said to be notorious. Although the emperor has not yet made a final decision, Li Zhan's capital crime may not be able to escape.

Even his relatives may be implicated. There is naturally a warm green in this life.

In her last life, she rescued Nuan Cui from the fire pit when she was sold into the flower building. In this life, I don't know if Nuan Cui will meet a noble person to save me.

These Xie Ke have already ignored them, what causes are planted, and what results are gained. If it weren't for the greed of the Nuan Cui family, how could they have fallen into this field. Now what makes Xie Ke rack his brains is ......

So what did a large sum of money do?

She thought that there was no secret between herself and Qi Lu, and it seemed that ...... It's what she thinks so beautifully. The young man, I don't know what else he was hiding from her.
