Chapter 246: The Death of a Confidant (3)

Mu Shengbai came to the shop, took out the token to identify himself, he picked up a chair and sat down, took a sip of tea and said, "Let your shopkeeper come out." ”

Xiao Er answered respectfully and then opened the curtain and went in, and soon a man with a fat head and big ears and a rich dress nodded and came out, "Ouch young owner, why don't you say anything if you want to come over, the little one doesn't know that you have nothing to prepare when you arrive, and it will be bad if there is any neglect at that time." ”

Mu Sheng glanced at him, put down the teacup, and said with a smile: "I'm not here to play, what is there to say." ”

The shopkeeper was obviously a little weak under Mu Shengbai's eyes, his fat body was shaking, and cold sweat was constantly sliding down his forehead, which was very funny, and Mu Shengbai knew that something was wrong at a glance.

He straightened his face and said: "Then I'll just say what I mean, I found that the number of your account books here is a little wrong, and I want to take a look, it is better for the shopkeeper to take out your account books." ”

The shops under Liuyun Villa have three account books, one is kept by the shopkeeper, one is held by the villa, and one is held by the inspector sent by the villa.

The shopkeeper's words trembled a little, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to raise it, "Don't you want to rest here for a few days first, the little one will entertain you well, and the account book can't run away, so you can check it later." ”

Mu Shengbai snorted coldly, his eyes were meaningful, "I don't dare to say if I can run away, but if someone does something on it, I'm afraid I won't be able to see it, so I'll look at the account book first, and if the shopkeeper still wants to entertain him, then I won't be unacquainted." ”

The shopkeeper gritted his teeth, he didn't dare to shirk it anymore, who didn't know that every young owner's martial arts were extraordinary, if he started to do it, a few thugs in his shop would not be enough to stuff his teeth, and now he hoped that Mu Shengbai would not be able to read the account book.

"That's a good feeling, the little one will go in and get it now."

The shopkeeper quickly took out several thick ledgers, some of which had accumulated several layers of dust, and it seemed that they had been turned over a long time ago.

Mu Shengbai would not be deceived by his little trick, and directly flipped out the latest books from the bottom, ten lines at a glance, and calculated so quickly in his heart that he didn't even need an abacus, and quickly turned over several books.

The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief, how could such a large amount not need an account book, it can be seen that this young owner is here to flip through it casually, and there is nothing wrong with the previous books, it seems that it is indeed incomprehensible.

The more the shopkeeper thought about it, the more proud he became, fortunately he lived in front, otherwise he would have been deceived by the appearance of this young owner, and he thought he was a ruthless character, but he didn't expect it to be a straw bag.

Mu Shengbai put it down after flipping through a few more copies, ignoring the shopkeeper's earnest eyes, first picked up a cup of tea and drank it all, and then lowered his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

The shopkeeper couldn't stand this nervous anger, and asked with a smile: "Young master, what's wrong with this account." ”

Mu Shengbai raised his eyes to look at him, there was no emotion in his eyes, he was very calm, but it made the shopkeeper feel furious in his heart, and he couldn't help muttering in his heart, this young owner can't see anything, and now he is still here scary.

The sudden cold snort made the shopkeeper's hair stand on end, and he looked at him nervously, and then despised his own nervousness, but it was just a straw bale with nothing to see, what was he afraid of.

Mu Shengbai stared at him, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a touch of coldness, "Shopkeeper Wang, how bold are you?" ”

Shopkeeper Wang thought that he was deliberately scaring him so that he could talk to him, and showed a puzzled expression, "The little one doesn't understand what the young owner means, these accounts are all filled in carefully by the small ones, and every account is very clear, so there must be no problems." ”

Mu Shengbai looked at him like this, and became more and more mocking, "Is there any problem, the shopkeeper must be clear in his heart." He spread out the ledger and turned to a certain page, "Or the shopkeeper will explain to me where the missing silver here has gone, and it will add up to a total of fourteen thousand eight hundred taels, or after I have removed the odds." ”

Shopkeeper Wang looked up at the position pressed by his fingers, and he was already scared into a cold sweat, which ......

Especially after hearing the number calculated by Mu Shengbai, he knelt down all of a sudden, and there was no mistake at all! How is this possible, how did he calculate such a large number without using an abacus? Besides, because I am afraid of being discovered, I don't get much money every time, and I only have such a large amount of money accumulated over time, and such a huge amount of calculations is the best accountant, and I can't calculate it in such a short time without relying on the abacus.

"What? Didn't the shopkeeper say that there was no problem? What does it mean to kneel? ”

The shopkeeper Wang immediately cried and said: "Young owner, the small ones are old and young, and they all have to rely on the small ones to eat, so they have to embezzle the money of the shop, and you will spare me this time if you have a large amount, I will never dare in the future." ”

Mu Shengbai snorted coldly, and said with a straight face: "If I am not mistaken, the monthly money of the shopkeeper is ten taels of silver, and these ten taels of silver are enough for ordinary people to eat and live for a year, is it not enough for the shopkeeper Wang to support his family?" The king's shopkeeper's appetite is really big. ”

The shopkeeper was immediately speechless.

Mu Shengbai finally removed him from the position of shopkeeper, but he was not so desperate that he would be made an ordinary shopkeeper, and he was given a time limit to spit out all the silver he swallowed within a week.

He received the silver spit out by the king's treasurer at night, and he was sarcastic in his heart, and it seemed that his punishment was still light.

After resting in the town for a night, Mu Shengbai set off for the villa early the next morning, thinking that he would go back to celebrate Senior Brother Shengyun as soon as possible.

But when he returned to the place where he received the attack yesterday, he heard the sound of soldiers again, and he didn't want to meddle with things, but he saw the person who was attacked, and rushed forward without hesitation.

Mu Shengbai looked at the extremely familiar young man with a smile, and said loudly: "Su Ming, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

Su Ming's eyes widened in surprise, and after seeing the person clearly, his eyes turned red unconsciously, and he hugged him, "Master Mu, after I heard that you were banned from entering the imperial city by the emperor, I thought I would never see you again in the future, but I didn't expect to meet here." ”

Mu Shengbai hammered him on the chest and laughed: "Manly man, you don't flick when you have tears, what do you look like when you cry." ”

Su Ming wiped away his tears and said loudly, "I haven't seen you for too long!" I'm excited! ”
