will come to the door to propose, who would dare to marry into the royal family.

"Thank you, grandmother." Gu Chichi thanked him sweetly, looked at Zhang Guifei, who was anxious and uneasy, but had exhausted her organs, and laughed again and again: Zhang Guifei, you just wait for it to be bad, I will take care of you This New Year will be more anxious than ever.

The sun is infinitely good, the warmth shines on the people, in winter, the rare good weather, the queen mother's porridge helps the maids to walk around in the royal family to bask in the sun, and Songshoutang naturally gave it to Gu Chichi and the shopkeeper who reconciled the accounts.

In the outer room, twelve shopkeepers of similar age and different postures stood in a row in the middle of the room, and Gu Chiwei sat at the round table, on which twelve stacks of shop account books were neatly placed.

Gu Chichi sipped the tea in the cup, but there was no sound, the shopkeepers didn't know what her purpose was, but it was not beautiful and asked directly, looked at each other, and looked at each other.

I don't know how long it took, just when the shopkeepers were about to ask questions, Gu Chichi put down the teacup in his hand and took the lead in speaking: "All the shopkeepers have been working in the shop for many years." ”

"Back to the eldest princess, the little one has been working in the shop for more than 20 years, and it is as a dowry, from the Prime Minister's Palace to the royal family." The very old shopkeeper replied to Gu Chichi's words, his voice was quiet, not respectful, vague, and there was a taste of showmanship.

Gu Chichi smiled faintly: "In this way, the shopkeeper is an elder." ”

"The patriarch doesn't dare to be the elder, and it is my honor to solve difficulties for the master." The shopkeeper was praised a little lightly.

Gu Chichi looked up at the other shopkeepers, and seemed to smile: "What about you, are you the same as this shopkeeper?" ”

"Yes, eldest princess, it is our glory to solve problems for our master!" Someone set a precedent, and the other shopkeepers were no longer afraid of anything, and replied lightly, and did the same.

"Then do you remember who your master is?" Gu Chichi's tone suddenly became sharp, and the cold light bursting from the bottom of his eyes seemed to be able to see through people in an instant.

The shopkeepers were shocked, they didn't expect that the eldest princess, who was still pure and harmless, suddenly became so arrogant: "The little one doesn't know the meaning of the eldest princess......" The shopkeepers pretended to be ignorant.

"Smack!" Gu Chi waved his hand, and the account books on the table were accurately thrown to the feet of each shopkeeper: "According to the account books, each shop has a net income of 18,000 taels, but you only paid me 8,000 taels, where did the remaining 10,000 taels of silver go?" Don't report that my shop doesn't have so much income, but it's clearly recorded in the account books. ”

"Back to the eldest princess, you might as well be careless and make a mistake...... "The very old shopkeeper sophistry: he is very old, very senior, very qualified to speak, Gu Chichi is just a thirteen-year-old girl, how much can he set off.

"I've made a mistake, one shop is less than 10,000 taels, and twelve shops are 120,000 taels, your problem is really big enough." Gu Chichi's extremely cold eyes swept over the twelve shopkeepers, and everywhere his eyes passed, the shopkeepers all lowered their heads, sweating at night, didn't the eldest princess not understand the account books? How could you find a silver missing......

"Even if, as you said, the account is wrong, but the 120,000 taels of real money and silver are placed over there, can't you see it?" Gu Chichi lowered his voice: "In other words, you will make a mistake, and you have embezzled 120,000 taels of silver, and the lord has embezzled so many taels of silver, which is enough for your whole family to behead ......"

"The eldest princess spares her life, spares her life......" The shopkeepers knelt on the ground in fright, and kowtowed continuously, Gu Chichi was not afraid, but what was terrifying was her power after her death, the loyal royal family and the Prime Minister's Palace, both palaces were the wang clans of the capital, and the power was huge, and none of them could afford to be blamed for these little shopkeepers.

The very old shopkeeper was secretly frightened: when did Gu Chichi become so sharp, half a year ago, he groped her and asked her to inspect the shop, but she was still lacking in fun, and refused to find various reasons......

"You have committed the crime of deceiving your lord and killing your head, so why should I spare you?" Dare to lie to yourself, these shopkeepers are really tyrannical, they must have been bought by Zhang Guifei, and if they don't punish them severely, they won't remember who their master is.

"The little one will definitely try his best to get the silver together, and if it is wrong, it will be wrong." Silver is a small matter, human life is a big matter, there is no silver can be earned slowly, if there is no life, but nothing can be gained.

The shopkeepers also thought about running away with the silver, but the whole country is so big, is it that the royal land, the loyal and brave royal and the prime minister's palace have a lot of power, they have no power and power, but they are afraid that as soon as they leave the capital, they will be arrested and sentenced to death.

"100,000 taels of silver, but you have just earned, have you already spent it, so short of silver." Gu Chichi sneered: "It's not that I don't trust you, it's just that after this kind of work, I can't trust you anymore for the time being, and I will bring the account books of last year and the year before last, I want to re-examine, do you have a fixed opinion?" ”

"I don't have a fixed opinion, I don't have a fixed opinion...... "Up to now, even if they have a fixed opinion, they don't dare to say it, and at the same time, they secretly wonder: The eldest princess used to be very deceitful, and she was sent away without saying a word, why today, she seems to have completely changed one-sided, dazzling and capable, and has insight into everything......

The shopkeepers ordered their respective attendants to return the account books of the previous two years, Songshoutang suddenly quieted down, and Zhang Guifei stood in the orchid garden, walking back and forth anxiously: I hope those shopkeepers will be smart and take all their obligations, if they can't stand the coercion and confess themselves, they will not make them better than ......

"Guifei, Guifei......" Lu Jin hurriedly ran over, because she was beaten by the guards as a robber last time, her legs and feet were not as sharp as in the past, and her posture was very embarrassing.

Zhang Guifei's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly greeted her: "What did you hear?" "The shopkeepers didn't recruit themselves.

Lu Jin panted, tired and out of breath: "Back to the concubine, the eldest princess gathered the shopkeepers to Songshoutang, I don't know what to say, the shopkeepers entrusted their respective servants and returned ......"

"Only the little ones have returned, haven't the shopkeepers left?" Zhang Guifei was shocked in her heart, and the ominous expectation in her heart was even stronger.

Lu Jin nodded: "Yes, the shopkeepers are still in Songshoutang, the eldest princess's people continue to stand in the courtyard to guard, and the slaves and maids don't dare to get too close, so I can't hear what they are talking about......"

Zhang Guifei lowered her eyelids: "The little guys will come back again, you secretly return, inquire, what did they bring back?" "Has Gu Chi been preparing for a big move?

Songshoutang, Gu Chichi read the account books of the first two years of the shop at a very fast rate, the year before last was better, it did not hinder her from being alive, Zhang Guifei did not dare to be greedy too much, probably at the end of the year she knew that she would not read the account books, her courage was bigger, she was greedy for a total of 80,000 taels of silver last year, her appetite was greater, and she actually wanted to be greedy for 120,000 taels.

"Smack!" Gu Chi Chi closed the last page of the ledger, and the shopkeepers were frightened by the sound of her closing the book, and concentrated their energy to listen to her next words.

"In three years, the public has 220,000 taels of silver that cannot be reconciled, and many jobs do not require me to say clearly, you know it." Gu Chichi stood up and looked back and forth on the shopkeepers, and the shopkeepers all lowered their heads, not daring to look at her:

"You have been taking care of the shop for a long time, you are all old shopkeepers, to my mother, for me, they are all meritorious people, sending you to see the official, the whole family is beheaded, it is indeed a little rejected, but you derelict your duties, deceived the master, and caused so many silver taels to be missing, which is also evidence Indeed, I can't sit idly by."

"Only if you can make mistakes, you can make mistakes, and leave everything to the eldest princess." A cowardly shopkeeper took the lead in showing weakness, and other shopkeepers also spoke: "Yes, yes, please entrust the eldest princess!" ”

Gu Chichi smiled coldly: "I don't have anything to entrust, I just want to get the 220,000 taels of silver back, if you can do this, I can think about continuing to use you." ”

"Really?" The shopkeepers almost didn't dare to trust their ears, and took out the greedy money, and it was all right.

"Of course it's true, I'm the eldest princess of the royal family, and my words count!" 220,000 taels of silver is not a small amount, if you want to get it back, you have to rely on these shopkeepers, otherwise, if the shopkeepers are gone, the silver will also disappear, and the price of Zhang Guifei will be in vain, so now is not the time to kick them out.

The shopkeepers rely on the royal life, if they are not instructed by others, they dare not be greedy for so much silver, and the 220,000 taels of silver that are missing, Zhang Guifei and these shopkeepers should have a share.

is ambitious, for the sake of silver, the shopkeepers who have followed her mother for many years have all betrayed her, and switched to Zhang Guifei, and when the work is over, none of these shopkeepers can be left, and they must all be kicked out of the royal family.

The shopkeepers didn't know what Gu Chichi was thinking, thinking that she was willing to let herself go, and they were excited for this reason.

"The silver is lost by you, and you have the obligation to find it back, and you can't go around without any rules, and everything needs to be limited, ten days, and I will give you ten days." In Gu Chi Chi Qingling's tone, there was a rare solemnity: "If all the silver is recovered within ten days, all the past, I can not blame the past, if it is not complete, don't blame me for not being merciful, we will see you in Dali Temple!" ”

Two hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver have not been seen in three years, and they must have used up a lot, if they press too hard, they can't get the silver on the foundation, which is equivalent to forcing them to escape, ten days, no more, no less, but enough for them to prepare silver taels to make up for this cave.

If they are smart, want to live, and want to continue living in the royal family, they will definitely not refuse their proposal.

"Thank you Eldest Princess for your kindness, Eldest Princess Xie ......" Gu Chi did not cut the grass and eradicate the roots, leaving them a way to live, they were very grateful, ten days of time, enough.

Gu Chichi waved his hand: "Go get busy, remember, you only have ten days!" ”

The shopkeepers thanked again and again, said goodbye one after another, Gu Chi drank the cup of tea, his eyes sparkled, and there was a good show to watch, the days before the year, all of them would not be boring.

At night, the starlight is dotted, the shadows of the trees are swaying, a black shadow quietly arrives at the royal back door, looking around at no one, knocking lightly on the door, if you pay attention to listening, like you will excavate, the beat of his knock is very strange, two light, two heavy, three slow, three urgent.

"Squeak", the back door opened, a little maid leaned out, welcomed the person in, looked around cautiously, repeatedly confirmed that no one was there, the little maid shrank the back door, and the alley was restored to the tranquility of the suitable.

Orchid Garden, looking at the non-elderly shopkeeper standing in front of her, Zhang Guifei frowned: "In the middle of the night, what did you do when you came to Orchid Garden, in case Your Majesty knows, you and I don't want to have a good life......"

The older shopkeeper held back his anger: "Concubine Zhang, I don't want to bother you at this time, but the eldest princess gave us a ten-day deadline, if we can't get 220,000 taels of silver within ten days, we will have to go to court!" ”

Zhang Guifei said sarcastically: "What does it have to do with me if you eat a lawsuit?" The shop is in charge of you, and if you are missing the silver, of course you have to ......make up for it."

"Smack!" The shopkeeper slammed his fist on the table, and he was furious.
