The ledger slammed against the table with a dull thud, and the people in the chamber looked at each other. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

After a while, a man in his forties with thin eyebrows and shrewd eyes stood up in the crowd and said: "Manager Xue, this is mine, I am Kang Hai, the steward in charge of the twelve shops in the palace and the capital, I don't know what Mr. Xue has to say?" ”

Xue Rou looked at Kang Hai lightly, but saw that his back was straight and he looked at her without fear, as if he was sure that she couldn't find anything against him.

Xue Rou raised her eyebrows and her pupils deepened, and the corners of her lips hooked at him and said: "Steward Kang is a capable person, and he can't find any mistakes or omissions in the twelve shops under the management of the palace, and this account is also very clean, and he can hardly find anything wrong, which can be said to be perfect......"

Kang Hai raised his eyebrows lightly, his face was pale, but before he could speak, Xue Rou continued:

"However, as far as I know, Steward Kang has ten taels of silver per month, counting the occasional reward will never exceed fifteen taels, and it will be one hundred and eighty taels if you don't eat, drink or spend it for a year, before Steward Kang entered the palace, he worked as an errand in Li Shilang's house, and the monthly money is four and a half taels, counting you in the Li family for ten years, plus all kinds of rewards and the silver money you should get after coming to the palace, and what you got before you entered Li Shilang's mansion, Steward Kang's net worth will never exceed 1,500 taels, right?"

Kang Hai's face changed slightly, and he didn't know what Xue Rou meant by this, but he could only frown and replied: "Manager Xue is right. ”

Xue Rou raised her eyes and showed a smile rather than a smile, "Can the third son of your family spend a lot of money in Yanyun Pavilion for the heart willow girl more than a month ago, just for the Pomeranian to laugh and become a romantic affair overnight, it is really generous, I don't know where the manager Kang got so much money for the noble son?" ”

Kang Hai's face tightened, and he gritted his teeth and said, "That's the villain's ancestral property in his hometown......"

"Oh? It turns out that the ancestor of the Kang steward still has a surplus? Xue Rou raised her eyebrows lightly, still smiling, but her tone was indescribably cold, "Since Steward Kang's ancestor still has a surplus of property, why did he flee to the capital twenty-two years ago, not only that, but the message left by Steward Kang when he reported his hometown in Fengtianfu was that his family had suffered a disaster, and the population in the mansion was lost, because there was nowhere to go, so he spontaneously became a slave and sold it into the mansion of the nobles in Beijing, it turned out that all this was fake?" ”

"This ...... No... What I said was true...... "Kang Hai broke out in a cold sweat on his forehead.

"That's the real Kang steward, where did the ancestral property come from? With your net worth, you can't afford to buy the five-entry and exit mansion in Liannan Lane, where did the hundreds of acres of fertile land in southern Hebei come from? ”

Kang Hai listened to Xue Rou's still cold voice, but he only felt a chill in his heart, he wanted to explain in a panic, but he didn't want Xue Rou to suddenly reach out and pat on the account book, making a "bang" sound.

Kang Hai was so frightened that his heart stopped suddenly, and when he looked up, he found that the smile on the face of the woman who was still smiling had completely converged at this time, and the voice in her dark eyes was condensed, and when she looked at him, her eyebrows and eyes were even more subtle, and she said to him word by word:

"You can't explain it, or you can't explain it in the first place? You concealed the information and sneaked into the capital, first tricked the courtiers into entering the palace as a servant, and then sneaked into the palace of King Ling, not to make a living but to have other plans, I think you are in charge of things, but in fact, you want to assassinate the prince of the dynasty, right? ”

"No, I didn't...... Don't wronged me! I never thought of assassinating the prince, I didn't ......"

Kang Hai's face turned pale and said loudly, no matter how stupid he was, he knew what would happen if he was charged with assassinating the prince, it was a big crime of the Nine Clans.

Xue Rou sneered: "You say that I wronged you, then you tell me, where did the money in your hand come from?" ”

"I'm ......"

Although Kang Hai was already in a state of confusion at this time, he still had a little bit of reason, he originally opened his mouth to defend himself, but as soon as he got up, he swallowed back the words raw, murdering the prince is a big crime, but it is not a trivial matter to embezzle the money of the Mowang Mansion for his own use, once he admits this matter today, not only will he lose the palace errand, but he will not end well in the end.

He looked at Xue Rou with a cold face and kept silent, his eyes rolled, and he wanted to delay time to think of countermeasures, but how could Xue Rou give him a chance?

Seeing that Kang Hai's eyes turned straight but he remained silent, Xue Rou sneered: "It seems that you don't shed tears when you don't see the coffin, Qin Yan, he broke his leg and sent him to the Shuntian Mansion, saying that he wanted to murder His Royal Highness King Ling, all the silver money and land in his hands were all dirty things that he had obtained in conspiracy with others, presumably Shuntian Mansion Yin should know what to do!" ”

"Yes!"

Qin Yan responded and walked towards Kang Hai, Kang Hai's face suddenly turned pale and retreated, and a middle-aged man with no white beard in the crowd hurriedly said: "Manager Xue, you are a crime that you want to add, we are all loyal to the prince and the palace, and your behavior of forcibly imposing a crime on Steward Kang is simply too chilling......

"Chilling?"

Xue Rou suddenly looked up at the person who spoke out, with a sarcastic look in her eyes.

That person was in a hurry, but when he saw Xue Rou's expression at this time, his heart jumped, and he secretly regretted that he stood up at this time, and he hurriedly wanted to retreat, but he didn't want Xue Rou to speak coldly.

"I remember that you should be called Wang Cheng, you are in charge of three restaurants under the name of King Ling, seven shops, among which the most profitable restaurant in the Moon Tower is also in your hands, according to the previous estimates, the Moon Tower has a minimum monthly income of 8,000 taels, and more than 10,000 taels, King Ling went to the Zhou Kingdom for four years, and you handed over to the palace less than 150,000 taels of silver every year with other shops and restaurants, of which the least was only 60,000 taels a year, and in the past four years, the remaining turnover in your hands was less than 50,000 taels, and the king steward asked me to explain where you used the remaining silver taels?!"

Wang Cheng's scalp was numb, but he defended himself: "Manager Xue also said that it is an estimate, the business of Mochizuki Tower has not been good in the past few years, and there is no previous income, and other shops are not as good as before, plus the prince is not in the capital, I have a difficult time......"

"Really? Tough? Xue Rou smiled and beckoned to Qin Xi.

Qin Xi took a step forward, took out a booklet from his arms, turned two pages and read: "Wang Cheng, the first-class steward of Ling Wangfu, three years ago in the suburbs of Beijing to buy two farms, two hundred acres of land, two years ago for the birth of a child, offering three thousand taels of incense to the suburbs of the city, after the calculation of the eight-character batch for the concubine Sun to redeem the body cost 19,000 taels, a year ago, Sun gave birth to a son, and threw 5,000 taels for the marriage of Sun's sister, in March this year, returned to Fengyong's hometown to repair the ancestral hall, build a new ancestral house, cost ...... Seventy-eight thousand taels ......"

"Alright." Xue Rou interrupted Qin Xi's voice, looked at Wang Cheng coldly and said lightly, "Do you want me to continue?" (To be continued.) )
