Chapter 198: There is a problem with the ledger
"Thank you Mama for perceiving. I don't care about that. Mama can continue to stay here. Of course, if Mama wants to be suspected, she can also leave. ”
Lin Yunran didn't want to make Old Madam Lin suspicious, so she couldn't let Mama Huan leave here.
Mama Huan naturally didn't dare to leave, she nodded heavily, and then asked cautiously, "Slave, can you go?"
"Go and rest. It's going to take a while for you to recover. Lin Yunran waved his hand, and Mama Huan sent away.
Mama Huan's legs were trembling and she wanted to go quickly, but her body didn't obey the call, and it took a cup of tea to get out of the yard.
Lin Yunran looked through the Lin family's accounts in recent days and found that there were several problems.
She called the housekeeper over, pointed to a few points on the account and asked, "These shops, I'm not closed, how can there be expenses?"
Steward Lin took the account book, looked at it carefully, and felt strange, "These shops were closed a month ago, how can there be a deficit?" ”
When he looked at this account book before, he was not as careful as Lin Yunran, but he just glanced at it roughly, and saw that there was not much difference from the previous few days, so he thought it was no problem.
Who knew that there was such an obvious mistake.
"Call the bookkeeper and I'll ask for it myself." Lin Yunran put down the account book and rubbed his eyebrows.
The housekeeper quickly found several account rooms where the Lin family summarized the accounts.
Lin Yunran glanced over and found that one of them did not look calm.
It seems that she can determine who wrote these accounts without asking.
She let the other accounting offices leave, leaving Zhang Lun, who was already sweating on his forehead.
"I haven't said anything yet, why are you so nervous?" Lin Yunran saw that he was trembling and was about to lose his footing, so he asked Yue'er to move a stool for him, "Sit down, lest you fall for a while." ”
"Multi-...... Thank you, Miss. Zhang Lun sat on the stool, but he was not very stable all the time, as if there were needles on the stool.
"I find some of the accounts on this very strange, and I need you to explain them to me." Lin Yunran took the account book to him, and those accounts had been circled by her with cinnabar, and they were clear at a glance in the account book.
"This ...... It's not for me to remember. Zhang Lun flatly denied it.
"Really? Then do I want someone to prepare a pen, ink, paper and inkstone for you, and ask you to write two words to confirm the handwriting? Lin Yunran was not ambiguous, and immediately asked Yue'er and Yu Ling to take out the pen, ink, paper, and inkstone in their room and put them on the table.
She personally sharpened the ink for Zhang Lun, and also dipped the brush in ink and sent it to him, "Please." ”
Zhang Lun's hands trembled uncharacteristically, leaving a lot of ink spots on the rice paper.
But he couldn't write a word.
"Didn't I say it wasn't you? Why are you so nervous? Lin Yunran threw the ledger to the ground, his eyes were cold, "Do you really think I'm so stupid that I can't even see that there is a problem with the ledger?" ”
"Miss, angry!" The brush in Zhang Lun's hand fell to the ground, and the bones rolled out a long way, and so did the people
Fell from his chair and fell to his knees.
Lin Yunran couldn't help but want to laugh.
"Tell me why you're doing this, I'll be angry." Lin Yunran only wanted to know whose pockets the inexplicable silver had entered.
"I ...... I am also commanded. Zhang Lun said in a trembling voice.
"Who instructed you?" Lin Yunran didn't want to listen to nonsense.
She wants the most critical information!
But Zhang Lun stalked for a long time, but didn't say it.
"Don't want to say it, or can't you say it?" Lin Yunran's sharp eyes looked over, and Zhang Lun only felt as if he had been seen through by her, and there was nowhere to hide.
He still remembered that the person told him that Lin Yunran was very easy to deceive, and they only stole this bit of silver, and they would definitely not be discovered.
But when Lin Yunran returned to the Lin Mansion, he discovered the abnormality of the ledger.
Even if they only stole more than fifty taels of silver at a time, it was nothing to the Lin family's current accounts.
But she found out anyway.
It's just a fiery eye.
"Do you know why I found out?" Lin Yunran pointed to the cinnabar mark on the ledger, "Because I personally went to close these shops." So I remember their names clearly. ”
Zhang Lun was stunned.
Where did he think that these shops were closed by Lin Yunran himself.
He also thought that Lin Yunran asked his subordinates to deal with the empty shops and shut down these shops.
It turned out to be her own.
It's no wonder she could see that the ledger was wrong.
"Didn't expect that, did you? It's stupid to think you've caught my loophole and want to take a little bit of money out of me. "There are so many shops under the Lin family, if she hadn't closed these shops herself, I'm afraid it would be difficult to see that there was a problem with the account book so quickly.
The Lin family's previous accounts, I don't know how many hands and feet have been moved.
All the people were counting on her.
From the time when Master Lin was lingering on the sickbed, he began to want to pick money from her, the only heir.
"Miss, I know that I am wrong, I will return the silver to you. It's all back to you. I also beg the eldest lady to open up the net! Zhang Lun knew that it was useless to quibble, so he pleaded for himself.
"You say you are commanded, and you don't know who is the one who commanded you?" Lin Yunran's eyes narrowed, and the aura of danger spread around Zhang Lun.
"Yes...... It's Miss Watch! Zhang Lun was full of fear of such Lin Yunran, so he no longer had so many scruples and said it directly.
"Miss Table? I have several cousins, and I don't know who you're talking about. "Lin Yunran has a total of three cousins, and none of them are fuel-efficient lamps.
And there is only one who is married.
The remaining two are in the boudoir.
"Lin Xue'er of the second master's family." Zhang Lun's heart was horizontal and he said the name.
Lin Yunran was stunned.
She thought that it was the two who had not yet married her money to calculate her money.
But she didn't expect that it was the one who got married.
Isn't Lin Xue'er married to the eldest son of Lord Wei of Zhongshu Ling? Although she is only a concubine, she is deeply favored, and her life will definitely not be bad, right?
Why don't you come here to pick up money for yourself?
Every time I do this, I have to give Zhang Lun some points, and even fewer of them.
"If I find out that you slander, the consequences will only be worse. Do you understand? Lin Yunran warned Zhang Lun.
"My words are true, if the eldest lady doesn't believe it, she will come to me in the evening to get the silver, and the eldest lady can see with her own eyes if it's her!" Zhang Lun said it well.
Lin Yunran listened to his words and no longer doubted his statement.
But I couldn't stop being curious.
Could it be that Lin Xueer said that she was quite favored and didn't worry about food and clothing, was she lying?
