Ling Yi looked at Zou Quan expressionlessly, and his words were as sharp as a knife.

Zou Quanqi's face turned red, and he roared angrily: "Don't deceive people too much, you don't know how to pretend to understand, Boss Yun is an old customer of the Eight Sound Country, and he will order in the Eight Music Country every year, will he still fail to pay the bill?" Don't say that this year, even in previous years, Liang Guo's orders are also paid later, and the eldest lady doesn't understand the situation, so don't talk nonsense and make people laugh. ”

Boss Yun was also trembling with anger, he was not from Northern Qin, and he didn't understand the important position of the Ling clan in Northern Qin, so he didn't take Ling Yi in his eyes at all.

"A girl who is neither big nor small, what are you doing so much nonsense with her, come on, get her down for me."

Behind him, four Liang people immediately surrounded him.

Ling Yi saw a wooden barrel, lifted it and kicked it over, and carried the barrel to the side of Boss Yun and the people of Liang Guoren, his eyes were calm, "I see which of you dares to touch me, don't forget, this is Northern Qin, if you still want to return to Liang Country intact, it's best to give me some peace." ”

Boss Yun didn't want to pay attention to it, but when he saw that many officers and soldiers were coming one after another not far away, he immediately swallowed what he wanted to say, and muttered in Zou Quan's ear.

Zou Quan frowned slightly, and also looked into the distance, the top priority is to transport the goods first, and not to make extraneous branches.

He restrained his anger, and persuaded Haosheng: "Fusheng, I know that you are for the good of Ling Fu, otherwise this is the case, Boss Yun didn't bring so much money for a while, it is better to pay thirty percent first, and the rest will be settled in the future, you can rest assured, I have worked with Boss Yun for many years, I know his personality, and I will definitely not repay the debt." ”

Ling Yi sneered: "When did the Eight Sound Kingdom become opened by your Zou family?" These rules. When will it be your turn again? ”

The anger that Zou Quanyin endured was intensified again, and he couldn't bear it anymore. Make a look at the person behind you.

Those entourages hesitated for a moment, although the opposite was the eldest lady of the Ling Mansion, but they also knew whose hands they were doing, as the saying goes, it was better to offend the emperor than to offend the eunuch.

A sneer appeared on the corner of Ling Yi's mouth, and he didn't move, just waiting for those people to surround him. I heard the official in the distance shouting, "What do you do, get out of the way-"

Here are ordinary people, who dares to offend officials. One by one, they flashed faster than rabbits, and in just a few blinks of an eye, there were only Zou Quan's people on the dock.

Zou Quan secretly said in his heart that he was unlucky, he hadn't done it yet. So the officials came. Although his identity is not afraid of these people at all, but more is better than less, and he immediately smiled and stepped forward, "Hello master, we are planning to transport goods, nothing else." ”

Ling Yi sneered: "The money hasn't been paid off yet, what kind of goods are being shipped, poor master." This is the goods of our Lingfu Bayin Kingdom, and they have not consented. Unauthorized delivery of these goods to Liang State, you think I can let them go like this? ”

The official frowned and asked Zou Quandao, "Is what Miss Ling said true?" ”

Zou Quan smiled, called the leading master aside, took out two ingots of silver, and said with a smile: "I am the uncle of Zou Mansion, the eldest lady doesn't understand these things at all, thinking that Boss Yun wants to repay the debt."

You also know that I have been in charge of the Eight Sound Country for so many years, can I let myself suffer? I can't say anything about her daughter's house, so you can persuade her, go back, I will invite you and your brothers to dinner at Lang Tingxuan. ”

Not only did the Zhicha Ye not buy it, but he also looked at him suspiciously, "I don't care if you are the uncle or the second master, you dare to bribe the Yacha, if you are not a thief, what will you do with the silver?" ”

Zou Quan was anxious to cover his mouth, but in the end he held back, scolding this yacha for having no eyesight, but said: "Where am I bribe, this is to see your hard work, and I specially invited you brothers to drink."

If it's a bribe, can I take just that? You can't see it either. ”

He thought that the yacha understood what he meant, but the latter looked at him with a cold face.

Zou Quan "coughed" twice, and didn't bother to have a relationship with him anymore, and said in a cold voice: "You don't even know me, if you know each other, just be less nosy, otherwise you will lose your job and the matter will be small, if you lose this master's head, it will be worth the loss." ”

Yacha stiffened his neck and didn't buy it at all, "In my opinion, you have a large group of people surrounding Miss Ling, it is really suspicious, Miss Ling said, these goods belong to the Ling family, why do you transport other people's things away, this ship is not a ship that any of you want to sail out to sea today." ”

Zou Quan was stunned, where did this soft and hard yacha come from.

He said angrily: "My father is the imperial history of the four grades of the imperial court, you are so impatient that you dare to even block my way?" Believe it or not, I asked my father to go to your yamen in front of the emperor, so that you couldn't eat a nest and walked around. ”

"Zou is in charge of things in a big tone, could it be that your Zou family is bullying the people and tyrannizing the world like this? These are Jingcha, even Jingcha dares to threaten, it seems that I have to ask my father to start this matter to the emperor, so that the emperor can come up and comment. ”

Zou Quan's teeth were clucking, but he couldn't attack, and he looked at Boss Yun.

Boss Yun was a little dissatisfied in his eyes, and his brows were twisted together, reluctantly.

Zou Quan glared at him, and the latter slowly took out the silver ticket and said, "Miss Ling is unwilling to release the goods, isn't it because my money has not been settled, okay, there are 10,000 taels of silver tickets here, plus a deposit, and if there is any excess, Miss Ling will not bother to find it, take it." ”

He threw out a wad of silver tickets, his eyes full of disdain and disdain.

"If it's 10,000 taels, I'm afraid you still have to stay on this boat." A slightly older voice came from the outside of the crowd.

Everyone followed the prestige, but it was a well-dressed and noble old woman.

Some people have sharp eyes, and they can recognize this person at a glance as the celebrity in front of the old lady of the Ling family.

Although she is a subordinate, Cheng has been by Lan's side for decades, and when she walks outside, who will not give her a little thin face.

First, the status of the Ling Mansion is noble, and the Lan family is also the emperor's personal decree. Just like the most favored eunuch around the emperor, even if he is just a eunuch, who would dare to offend the courtiers.

Even if it was Zou Quan, he had to say "Mother Cheng".

Cheng seemed to be smiling, slowly pushed aside the crowd and walked to Ling Yi's side, and said lightly: "Steward Zou has also been in Bayin Country for eight years. ”

Zou Quan smiled: "Exactly, I have done my best for Bayin Country for so many years, but the eldest lady also doesn't know, Cheng's mother can rest assured, Boss Yun is not such a calculating person, and the eldest lady is not to blame for this matter." ”

"I'm not here to say who is right and who is wrong, you also know that the account books of the Bayin Kingdom over the years have been managed by Mrs. Aunt, and this year Mrs. Aunt was not there, so Mrs. Lady asked the eldest lady to take over the matter, but the eldest lady saw that there was a problem with the account book, so she reported it to Mrs. Lady."

Zou Quan's heart tightened, he didn't make any mistakes in the account book, how could he be seen as a problem?

"Please also ask Cheng's mother to make it clear, what's wrong with this account book?" He looked at Cheng suspiciously.

Weaving Fan picked up the ledger on the ground and handed it to Cheng.

Cheng turned to a certain page, pointed to the name on it and said, "This is Boss Yun's account?" ”

Zou Quan nodded slightly, "There is nothing wrong with Boss Yun's account, it was like this in previous years, and Boss Yun has taken the initiative to increase the price every year, and he has gained a lot compared to last year, dare to ask Mother Cheng, what's wrong?" ”

The corners of Cheng's mouth were cold, "Three thousand musical instruments, according to normal calculations, should be 30,000 taels, Boss Yun actually sold the deal at a price of 10,000 taels, is Steward Zou confused for so many years or what, it is not as clear as my old wife." ”

When Zou Quan heard this, he instantly breathed a sigh of relief, and his heart was a person who didn't understand the market, but he still explained: "What Cheng's mother said is true, but Boss Yun is a regular customer of Bayin Country, and the number is also large, so Bayin Country gives special discounts." ”

Ling Yi suddenly smiled and said, "When did the Eight Sound Kingdom become the Zou family?" These are your final say? Have you consulted with the owner? made decisions without authorization, and didn't take our Ling Mansion into account at all. ”

Cheng's brows frowned, "That's what I mean, Steward Zou, when did Bayin Kingdom approve such a preferential price for Liang Guoren?" ”

Ling Yi asked the yacha on the side again: "How do other countries collect the commercial tax when they buy our things from Northern Qin?" ”

Yacha was very cooperative and said loudly: "It should be one percent higher than the original price." ”

Ling Yi looked back at Zou Quan again: "Can you hear Steward Zou?" Liang Guoren bought our things, and the price was not only not higher than one percent, but more than half less. That's how Steward Zou does business?

If it's your own, I won't say a word, but the Bayin Country is the property of our Ling Mansion, and we hired you to be the steward, just because we believe in your ability, but what about you, you actually adjusted the price without authorization behind our back.

I look at the accounts of the past years, eight years, calculated, how much did the Eight Tone Kingdom lose? Do you have a number in mind? ”

Zou was pale, the reason why he dared to do this was because he had already been in his bag as the country of Ba Yin, so he didn't report anything.

In addition, in the past, when the Zou family was in power, even if someone had objections, they were all cut off by the Zou family, but now that the Zou family is gone, he realized that what he did was not reasonable at all.

But who would have thought that women like Ling Yi and Cheng would also notice this.

"What's the matter, Steward Zou has nothing to say?" Ling Yi said with a smile.

Zou Quan hurriedly explained: "Even if the eldest lady said that it was my fault for not reporting it in advance, but I am also for the good of the Eight Sound Country, Boss Yun has set a large number, and it is also appropriate to give some discounts, not to mention that for so many years, Boss Yun has been taking care of the business of the Eight Music Country-"

"Could it be that apart from these Liang people, the things of the Eight Sound Kingdom can't be sold?" Ling Yi sarcastically interrupted Zou Quan's words: "As far as I know, there are many people in this capital, including the surrounding neighboring cities, there are many people who have money and can't buy the goods of the Eight Sound Kingdom.

Is Steward Zou from Northern Qin or from Liang? Instead of meeting the needs of your own country, you can meet the needs of other countries at a low price? In my opinion, it is better for Zou to simply go to Liang Country to be a Liang person. ”

Zou Quan's face was shocked, and he said sharply: "Eldest Lady, you can't talk nonsense, our Zou family is loyal and patriotic, and you are pure slander." ”

"And why are you doing this?" Ling Yi looked at him puzzled.

Zou Quan's eyes flickered, and his thoughts spun rapidly, trying to find a suitable excuse. (To be continued......)
