Zhao Canniang didn't know that some troubles would come to the door, especially the kind of troubles that still had a causal cycle.

Zhao Canniang is sorting out business matters every day, and for a few days, Zhao Canniang will quit a shopkeeper every day.

It made the shopkeepers panic for a while.

Zhao Canniang is actually not unkind, the kind of shopkeeper who eats less money just criticizes a few words and keeps them for later observation, only the kind of person who makes a lot of mistakes and has a bigger heart will resign directly.

But all the shopkeepers of the Chen family were scared, so they were all angry.

In their hearts, Zhao Canniang is groundless accusations, coupled with the complaints of the resigned shopkeeper one by one, many people regard Zhao Canniang as a bad person, thinking that everything is Zhao Canniang's fault.

On this day, Zhao Canniang arrived at the silver building.

The silver building in the next county is relatively large, and the business of this silver building is particularly good.

Before that, the shopkeeper of this silver building admired Zhao Canniang very much in his heart and respected Zhao Canniang, but now, because Zhao Canniang dismissed the shopkeeper for a few days, he was angry in his heart.

The shopkeeper of the silver building is surnamed Mo, and he is called the shopkeeper Mo, who is more upright and will never take his ill-gotten gains.

Seeing that Zhao Canniang was about to come to the store, she was embarrassed.

Because one of the shopkeepers dismissed by Zhao Canniang was his best friend.

Zhao Canniang, as in the past, arrived at the silver building.

As soon as Zhao Canniang walked into the silver building, Shopkeeper Mo saw Zhao Canniang, he knew Zhao Canniang, but what he had to do at this time was to pretend not to know.

After Zhao Canniang looked around, her eyes naturally locked on the shopkeeper Mo.

Walking forward, Zhao Canniang said politely: "Is it the shopkeeper Mo?" ”

Shopkeeper Mo nodded: "It's down there." I wonder what's going on with Madame? ”

Zhao Canniang was also not polite, and said directly: "I just want to ask how Yinlou's business is." You should know who I am. ”

In the past few days, Zhao Canniang's voice has been very official, but Shopkeeper Mo pretended not to understand and looked at Zhao Canniang: "What do you mean by this, madam?" ”

Smile slightly. Zhao Canniang then said: "I am your owner, Mrs. Chen Shao, you should know that I have been inspecting the store recently, and you just want to ask how the business is, and the shopkeeper Mo does not need to be hostile to me." ”

Zhao Canniang couldn't see the unnaturalness on the face of the shopkeeper Mo.

Hearing Zhao Canniang say this, the shopkeeper Mo didn't pretend anymore: "It turned out to be the young lady, it is disrespectful, what the lady said just now was wronged Mo, I didn't think about being disrespectful to the lady." ”

Zhao Canniang didn't pursue it anymore and glanced at the counter.

The jewellery here is packed in boxes. Boxes are placed next to each other behind the counter, and you can see the jewelry behind the counter when you stand in front of the counter.

And those designed by Zhao Canniang are placed in the most conspicuous position.

Zhao Canniang glanced around, still very satisfied with the furnishings here.

"Don't be a shopkeeper, I won't read the account book anymore, and my future business will depend on the shopkeeper."

When she came, Zhao Canniang had already looked at the previous account book of the shopkeeper Mo, not to mention that there was no problem with ten percent certainty, at least ninety percent of the problem was not there, at least there was nothing to see in the account book.

Shopkeeper Mo was already ready to let Zhao Canniang read the account book, that is, after Zhao Canniang read the account book. I thought about saying the words that I held in my heart, and I was upset for my friends, but now Zhao Canniang doesn't look at it!

"Doesn't Madame look at the ledger?"

Shopkeeper Mo hesitated a little, but still asked.

Zhao Canniang shook her head and said directly: "Don't look at it." I believe in Mr. Mo, I just came to see how the business is going, how the jewelry in the store is selling recently......"

Shopkeeper Mo replied very apprehensively. First, I was happy for Zhao Canniang's trust, and secondly, I was angry because of what Zhao Canniang did.

Finally. Shopkeeper Mo still intends to say what he has to say.

"Madame, I have something to say!" Shopkeeper Mo's expression became a little serious, and there were no outsiders in the store at this time.

Zhao Canniang smiled slightly. From the beginning, it was obvious that Shopkeeper Mo was hostile to her, and now that Shopkeeper Mo had something to say, Zhao Canniang naturally wanted to ask clearly.

"If Shopkeeper Mo has anything to say, just say it."

Zhao Canniang looked at Shopkeeper Mo with interest.

How can these things not be said outside, Shopkeeper Mo himself actually knows, but today he doesn't want to give Zhao Canniang face, and naturally he doesn't have to worry about the work in the store.

Shopkeeper Mo finally said: "I want to ask Madame, how can the business last for a long time?" Especially for those of us who are loyal shopkeepers, how can the proprietor keep them? ”

Just one sentence, Zhao Canniang knew that Shopkeeper Mo was here for the previous people's grievances.

Zhao Canniang smiled slightly: "It turns out that Shopkeeper Mo is going to talk about this matter, do you want to say that I spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain?" ”

Shopkeeper Mo nodded: "I don't dare to say anything else, but I can guarantee that the shopkeeper Zhu in Bailong Town is an innocent person." ”

After Shopkeeper Mo finished speaking, Zhao Canniang smiled and said, "Shopkeeper Mo continued." ”

Shopkeeper Mo saw that Zhao Canniang was willing to listen, and his favor towards Zhao Canniang also increased a little, Shopkeeper Mo continued: "Shopkeeper Zhu went to Chen's house with me to do things a year, we were all guys of Chen's rice shop at the beginning, I dare not say anything else, I dare to guarantee one thing, Shopkeeper Zhu is absolutely upright, and he will never do anything about business." ”

Shopkeeper Mo said it categorically, as if he was saying that Zhao Canniang had wronged Shopkeeper Zhu.

Zhao Canniang looked at Shopkeeper Mo with a smile but said: "Shopkeeper Mo, do you know that people are going to change, it's not that if you say that he is good, he must be good, what you can't control in this world is people's hearts, what you just said is that I wronged Shopkeeper Zhu, and I'm making trouble unreasonably, isn't it?" ”

Shopkeeper Mo didn't speak, so he naturally admitted it.

Zhao Canniang continued: "Let's just say what I did this time, it's not that I don't know that those shopkeepers are loyal to our Chen family, for example, I appreciate your style very much, and I just want to see if those jewelry are easier to sell today." Just now you said that the shopkeeper Zhu is a good shopkeeper who is loyal to our Chen family, don't you know that the shopkeeper Zhu is dignified on the surface. Behind his back, he was a vicious wolf who couldn't be fed. We don't have to say so much, we just need to talk. ”

After Zhao Canniang finished speaking, she turned around and walked out. The carriage stopped next to the silver building, and Zhao Can walked directly to the carriage and got one of the accounts made by the shopkeeper Zhu.

Shopkeeper Mo was a little puzzled by Zhao Canniang's sudden departure, but in the blink of an eye, Zhao Canniang had re-entered the store.

"Shopkeeper Mo, you understand people, there are some things, even if I don't say it, you will understand. Do you know the handwriting of the shopkeeper Zhu? You can take a good look at this ledger to see if it is the handwriting of the shopkeeper Zhu. ”

After speaking, Zhao Canniang handed the account book to the shopkeeper Mo.

Shopkeeper Mo took the account book with some confusion and looked at it carefully.

The more he looked at it, the more shocked he became.

It's not that he can't see the loopholes in the middle, and the accounts made by Shopkeeper Zhu are very clever, as long as he doesn't check carefully, he really can't see anything!

"This ......" Shopkeeper Mo looked at Zhao Canniang with some surprise.

But I saw Zhao Canniang and said: "This account is just one of the books that Shopkeeper Zhu gave me, I believe that Shopkeeper Mo is an understanding person who can understand the cat in the middle, and I don't want to say anything else." I, Zhao Canniang, am doing things with my conscience, I naturally know who is loyal to our Chen family, but who is making trouble against the Chen family behind my back, I also understand in my heart, I just want to say that everyone knows it in their hearts, and it doesn't need to be said very clearly because it should be clear. ”

"I appreciate your shopkeeper Mo's personality, in the past two days, someone has pushed you to leave the Chen family, saying that our Chen family can't keep people, I know all this, but you feel your conscience and say. Can these people be kept? If I make a little mistake, even if I eat a little less silver into my pocket, I won't hate it so much, but you look at these account books. This pen of business, there is a little bit there, how much silver will be in the balance of Zhu's shopkeeper every year. In fact, it can be calculated, but in the past two months, the shopkeeper Zhu has reported all losses. Shopkeeper Mo, do you say I can keep such a person? ”

Shopkeeper Mo was speechless when he heard this, he didn't know any of these things. Because it is far away from the shopkeeper Zhu, it is a correspondence every time, and every time the shopkeeper Zhu tells the shopkeeper Mo how much silver he has earned, but he doesn't want all the silver to go to the pocket of the shopkeeper Zhu, how dare he have to do such a thing.

"What you said is true, young lady?"

Zhao Canniang pointed to the account book and said: "What I said is really not true, you can see the account book, I just want to say that even if such a person is all gone, I don't feel distressed, you all know how the Chen family treats the shopkeeper, how to treat the shopkeeper every year, I have checked seven or eight shops, resigned three shopkeepers, and the others are not completely innocent, at least there is a trace of conscience in my heart." ”

Zhao Canniang sighed when she said this: "Some shopkeepers began to admit their mistakes as soon as I went, no matter how much silver they ate, at least they knew that they were wrong, I looked at the account book and found that they didn't eat much silver, what does this mean?" I am willing to give such a person a chance, but Mr. Zhu, our Chen family, will never hire him in the future. ”

After listening to what Zhao Canniang said, Shopkeeper Mo was a little decadent.

He didn't expect that the friend he had always thought of as a friend would actually lie to him, and he would be angry and angry for him.

It's really ridiculous to think about it now: "Today's thing Mo has been taught, it is Mo who is abrupt, and I will not mix this matter again." ”

As soon as Shopkeeper Mo finished speaking, a middle-aged man came in at the door.

"Brother Mo, do you want to follow me to Ke's house to be the shopkeeper!"

As soon as he heard this voice, it was the shopkeeper Zhu.

Shopkeeper Zhu was in a good mood, he didn't expect that when the Chen family fired him, the Ke family in Yucheng threw an olive branch to him, which is simply a great thing, the Ke family is more powerful than the Chen family.

The Ke family is rich and powerful, and the business is huge, and more importantly, the Ke family and the Chen family are sworn enemies, this alone is enough, and the Chen family was dismissed, and the shopkeeper Zhu suffered a lot of eyes here for a day or two.

I also resented the Chen family in my heart.

Shopkeeper Mo glanced at Zhao Canniang, but saw Zhao Canniang signaling him to continue, and Zhao Canniang didn't look back from beginning to end, just lowered his head and pretended to look at the jewelry.

And Shopkeeper Mo knew in his heart that this time he had to draw a line with Shopkeeper Zhu, for himself and for the Chen family.

"You promised?"

Shopkeeper Mo's voice couldn't hide the anger a little.

But at this moment, Shopkeeper Zhu only cares about being happy, and he has to listen to the emotions in Shopkeeper Mo's tone.

"I agreed to Ke Jiakai's conditions, why don't you agree. Besides, this time it was the Chen family who was sorry for us, and it wasn't that we were sorry for the Chen family....... ”

Shopkeeper Zhu said it as a matter of course. Shopkeeper Mo frowned, and then asked, "What you told me last time is true." Is that what you said you earned a lot of money for the Chen family? ”

Shopkeeper Mo couldn't see the slightest flaw on his face, but Shopkeeper Zhu was still a little suspicious: "Why did you suddenly ask about this?" ”

Shopkeeper Zhu's face was full of doubts.

Shopkeeper Mo smiled slightly: "I just suddenly remembered it and wanted to ask." ”

Shopkeeper Zhu's face changed at this time and said: "I earn a hundred taels of silver a month for the Chen family, but what about them!" Look at them in order to dismiss us, the great heroes who helped their Chen family before, isn't this because we are old, they feel useless, ......I think the Chen family will be messed up by that Zhao Canniang sooner or later, I will tell you Lao Mo, see that you and I are friends. I just introduced you to the Ke family, and Master Ke said that as long as you follow me over, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future. ”

Shopkeeper Zhu said with relish, but he didn't see that Shopkeeper Mo's face had become extremely embarrassed.

"And what's going on with this ledger?" Shopkeeper Mo grabbed the ledger on the counter and threw it to Shopkeeper Zhu.

Shopkeeper Zhu couldn't recognize his handwriting, and Shopkeeper Zhu's face suddenly became ugly: "Why do you have this thing?" How the ledger is here. ”

At this time, Zhao Canniang turned around and said coldly: "Because I brought the Zhu shopkeeper." ”

Shopkeeper Zhu saw that it was Zhao Canniang, and he was still a little shocked. Then he was a little angry: "Old Mo, you did it on purpose, do you believe her words?" Shopkeeper Zhu stretched out his finger and pointed at Zhao Canniang, his face a little hideous.

Shopkeeper Mo sighed heavily, he knew that after he said these words. This is the end of their decades-long friendship.

"Lao Zhu is not that I don't believe the young lady's words, but the evidence is here, you have been telling me how much money you have made for the Chen family. But did you say that all the money went into your own pocket? The Chen family treated us well, and we were just two elementary school apprentices back then. But now, everything we have is given to us by the Chen family. Why not be satisfied? ”

Shopkeeper Mo sighed, and the silver earned by his silver building was much more than the silver earned by Shopkeeper Zhu's shop, but even if Shopkeeper Mo made more silver in a month, he never thought of taking the silver for himself.

Shopkeeper Zhu snorted coldly, looked at Shopkeeper Mo and looked at Zhao Canniang: "Why should I be content, all the silver I have earned with my hard work, why should I give them all the silver?" ”

After saying this, Shopkeeper Zhu pointed to Shopkeeper Mo and then said, "Don't accuse me, I don't believe that you haven't eaten any silver from the Chen family for so many years." ”

Seeing that his friend still said this about himself, the shopkeeper Mo was very disappointed: "I really haven't eaten the Chen family's silver, the account books are all there, the young lady and Master Chen can check it by themselves, I know the principle and bottom line of being a man, what silver should be ours, what silver is ill-gotten gains, Lao Zhu These are what you told me back then, you told me that I can't be sorry for the owner, I have always remembered your words for so many years, but why do you want to do things that are sorry for the owner?" ”

The shopkeeper Mo looked sad.

Zhao Canniang smiled coldly at this time: "People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants!" Shopkeeper Zhu, it seems that I really don't hesitate to you, someone will tie up Shopkeeper Zhu for me and send it to the government! ”

For such a treacherous person, Zhao Canniang doesn't want to be soft at all now.

The guys in the silver building naturally listened to Zhao Canniang's words, and heard Zhao Canniang's orders to come out from behind the counter one by one and rush to the shopkeeper Zhu.

Before Shopkeeper Zhu could react, he was tied up by the guys in the store.

Zhao Canniang looked at the shopkeeper Zhu coldly and said: "Originally, I wanted to spare you, you said that you didn't have the money to compensate me, I didn't force you, just told you to go home and pay the silver, since you have made mistakes again and again, provoking me, why should I be soft on you, how good it is to send it directly to the government, the account books are there anyway, and when you hand it over to the county official to find someone to calculate the silver you eat, you will take the house if you don't have the money to pay, anyway, you are now close to the Ke family, I believe that the Ke family is so "benevolent" that they will find a way to get you out, There is another thing I forgot to tell you, your current Ke family has offended the emperor. ”

Shopkeeper Zhu was very scared, Zhao Canniang let him go back, he thought that Zhao Canniang had no way to take him, but he didn't expect that his idea was wrong, Zhao Canniang didn't have no way to take him, but didn't want to do it.

If he is sent to the government, he will suffer at that time, not to mention the loss of money, if the Ke family knows about the things he did, and that person is willing to ask him to work again, wouldn't this cut off his back road.

"Young lady, I know that I am wrong, I know that I am wrong." Shopkeeper Zhu was busy begging for mercy.

Zhao Canniang sneered: "Shopkeeper Zhu, you don't have to beg me for mercy, I don't need you to admit your mistakes insincerely, besides, what I want is silver, you eat our family's silver." ”

Shopkeeper Mo was still a little unbearable in his heart, and after glancing at Shopkeeper Zhu, he shook his head helplessly and turned to Zhao Canniang and said: "Please be merciful to Mrs., I know that Shopkeeper Zhu has a house in Baiyun City, if Shopkeeper Zhu can't take out the silver, I think I will use the house to pay off the debt!" Just ask Madame not to send him to the official mansion! ”

Shopkeeper Zhu looked at Shopkeeper Mo with some surprise, he didn't expect Shopkeeper Mo to intercede with him, of course the house can be repaid, and now he doesn't have the courage to go to Baiyun City, and the house is handed to the Chen family.

And as long as the money is in your own hands, nothing else matters.

Zhao Canniang smiled: "The silver he has eaten in the past few years is enough for a house." (To be continued......)
