Chapter 386: Yi Xin (I)
Zhao Ren looked at a few pages, and his expression changed significantly, and the fingers that pinched the corners of the pages were clenched unconsciously. Everyone's eyes were fixed on Zhao Ren, and they didn't let go of these changes on his face, until Zhao Ren turned around and stared at Zhao Jing with an incredulous gaze.
"This, how can this ledger and the things on it be like this, the dock has not made a profit but has lost so many silver taels, you, are you doing something." Zhao Ren ignored the presence of everyone, pointed at Zhao Jing and asked angrily.
Zhao Jing chuckled, the person in front of him reflected in his eyes seemed to be a person who played tricks in front of him, this change is really confusing, Xin'an Wharf will lose thousands of taels of silver, how can people believe it.
"It seems that the eldest brother has good eyesight, but this is indeed the account of Xin'an Wharf." After Zhao Jing finished speaking, his eyes fell on the eldest lady's body, and the eldest lady was a little cramped and uneasy, and the look slightly revealed between her eyebrows and eyes was no longer calm.
"Zhao Jing, this must be something you did in secret, now in the Zhao family, only you and my mother will have access to the Zhao family's accounts, it can only be you." Angrily pointed at Zhao Jing and roared.
Even he didn't realize what he was saying, just thought that the dividends he might have received turned into a deficit before he knew it.
"Yes, then why don't you ask your mother, but you are so obstinately thinking that I did it, big brother, big brother, you said that if I wanted to, I would fake, why bother." The words are conclusive, and no one dares to come forward to refute a word.
People who understand things have already seen that this matter is menacing, and Zhao Jing made this scene, which is definitely not what he sees on the surface.
The third lady wanted to get some reassuring answers from her son with puzzled eyes, but in a blink of an eye, she saw that her son looked like he was concerned about himself, and it didn't seem to cause him the slightest emotion, she sighed, and because Zhao Yu calmed down, after all, it was none of her business, and yes, her son had never cared about these things that had nothing to do with her.
Anyway, what Zhao Jing wants this time is to make Dafang's family uneasy, just thinking about it, you know that Dafang will not easily give up the fat in his bowl to such a hairy boy. For so many years, my mother and mother have been pressed by them and can't move, and now someone can help breathe a sigh of relief, and it's good to sit and watch.
"Dangjia Zhao wants to spew blood, first arrested Steward Li, not to mention that Steward Li has done things for our Zhao family for so many years, just your father will not treat Steward Li like this when he is alive." After speaking, she straightened her body, her solemn appearance, and returned to the dignity of the eldest lady of the Zhao family before, as if only such a posture could be called the eldest lady of the Zhao family, and only a noble woman like her would govern the Zhao family in an orderly manner, and even thought that she could cover up the inadvertent gaffe and panic just now through such a gesture.
Zhao Jing waited for the eldest lady to finish her words, and people who didn't understand the matter would really think that the eldest lady really sympathized with the servants or slaves of the Zhao family, so that the subordinates listened and were grateful.
Then, Zhao Jing said loudly without any emotion, "If people don't know, they can't do it unless they do." In my early years, my father taught us that our brothers should be harmonious, and that our family and talents would be prosperous, all of which I remember, but in any case, I did not expect that the human heart was sinister and greedy. ”
There are references in the words, and the people who listen to it have a ghost in their hearts, and the expressions on their faces are red and white, and the scene is embarrassing.
At this time, Shen Mei was already standing by the side of the door, and saw a red official figure coming after several people opened the way, Shen Mei's attention was attracted by the sudden people in the courtyard early in the morning, and the man who appeared behind everyone respectfully made Shen Mei's eyes widen, and she only felt a little incredible. It's just a moment of surprise, although she didn't guess the identity of this person, but just by virtue of the two sides that the two have seen, Shen Mei already has a number in her heart.
I heard one person shouting, "Lord Hezhou Qincha, Lord Yi Xin has arrived." This voice didn't startle the big and small people in the room, how could this minister suddenly come to the mansion.
Without saying a word, Zhao Jing took the lead to greet him, and everyone saluted to welcome the arrival of the minister.
"Zhao Jing, the grass people, I don't know that Lord Qin sent to come, and he missed the welcome. I hope that you will forgive your sins. ”
Shen Mei saluted and followed Zhao Yu's side, inadvertently bumping into his light glance, and looking away impatiently.
Yi Xin raised his hand and motioned for everyone to get up, Shen Mei took a good look at the thin man in front of him in a golden silk python robe, if he didn't see it today, who would contact Lord Qincha in front of him and Mr. Qi Zuo who was wearing cloth that day, Shen Mei remembered that it was not a taboo in ancient times. I couldn't help but deepen my gaze, with a little doubt.
Yi Xin seemed to see a hint of suspicion flashing in Shen Mei's gaze, but he bent the corners of his mouth without a trace.
"Today, the official was ordered by the emperor to thoroughly investigate the tax evasion at Xin'an Wharf, but I didn't expect to find a lot of interesting things." After speaking, a man with a knife came up beside him, and unfolded a fold full of dense documents in front of everyone.
"The Zhao family has managed Xin'an Wharf for many years, and after secretly verifying that the person who evaded taxes is indeed from the Zhao family, I have found solid evidence, and I will arrest this person today." When the words fell, I saw that several big men grabbed Steward Li, who Zhao Jing had brought in before, and then quite surprisingly saw them walking towards the location of the eldest lady of the Zhao family, "Mrs. Zhao, please come with us too." With that, Yi Xin left with the people.
What Zhao Jing didn't expect was that the affairs of the Zhao family had already reached the court, if this was really the case, wouldn't it be ...... Glancing back at Zhao Yu, the tacit understanding between the two brothers was extraordinary, Zhao Yu nodded, and the two went out with the person who came just now.
After Shen Mei watched this play, she had already invented in her heart why Yun Pei would let her come forward, and she scolded angrily in her heart, and then turned around and followed out of the Zhao family, it was time to go back and ask Yun Pei what was going on.
Just after crossing the street, I suddenly saw a familiar face in the distance, that person was not ...... Shen Mei subconsciously avoided the man, her eyebrows furrowed, she couldn't stay here longer.
