"Master Hou......" Feng's eyes reddened aggrievedly.

Dingguo Hou sighed, "What happened back then, you won't believe what this Hou Ye said, today you got these, nothing more than just asking your mother-in-law's things, it's yours, you all take it back, this Hou Ye has a clear conscience." ”

Qiao Lixi looked coldly at the sensationalism of the Marquis of Dingguo, and did not debunk him.

The play is so well acted, it's boring to debunk.

Feng got the hint of Dingguo Hou and glanced at the maid beside him.

Seeing the maid out of the study and walking towards the main courtyard, the eldest grandmother sighed depressedly.

Originally, she was supposed to do all this, she was the most trusted person in the Feng family, and only she could touch these things, but now, ......

The Feng clan was still angry with her after all.

A moment later, the maid came in with a thick stack of ledgers.

Qiao Lixi's eyes shrunk, this is the most troublesome battle!

Feng pinched his throat and said: "For the turnover of the Hou Mansion, you have found the ones that have been sold, Mrs. Ben will come forward to help you buy them back, and those that are sent out inexplicably, Mrs. Ben will find a way to see how to get them back, however, Mrs. Ben can only say her best, not absolutely." ”

Seeing Qiao Yixi nodding, Feng said again: "Before, what you said was that the shop and Zhuangzi, the income over the years, left one percent as you and Brother Zhen'er to honor us." ”

If the previous statement that the transfer of the shop and Zhuangzi is not valid, then these profits will no longer be used for the turnover of the Hou Mansion, and according to Qiao Lixi's previous requirements, they have to spit it out.

"Yes, that's what I said, but before that, I want to ask, can Madame give me a deadline, and how long will it take to get those things back?" lest we disagree at the time and cause more trouble. ”

Feng's eyes tightened, "Three months, okay?" ”

The Feng clan is now a broken jar.

Regardless of Sun Bin and Lu Yushi who were present, the fire in their hearts was suffocated, and they would come out first.

Qiao Yixi nodded slowly, motioning for the Feng clan to continue.

Feng pointed to the account books on the table and said: "These are the account books of the shop and Zhuangzi over the years, you won't be able to read them for a while, I will quote you the total price first, and you will take the account books back later to check." ”

Feng Shi drew a piece of paper from the first ledger and handed it to Qiao Yixi.

Qiao Yixi glanced at it, this is the summary ledger.

The monthly expenses and income of each shop and Zhuangzi are presented, and finally the net profit. Then, every year was also summarized, and finally the total summary of the past ten years.

It can be said that the Feng family is very attentive, it is clear at a glance, it is clear, and Qiao Lixi does not need to bother to check.

Of course, the Feng family also made it clear that when Qiao Yixi was late, she could account next to the ledger by herself, but now time does not allow it, so she made a general ledger first.

Anyway, it's all clearly recorded, and she's not afraid to check it.

Qiao Yixi only glanced at it, and then took a few pieces of paper handed by Goji Berry, "What a coincidence, I also have a summary of accounts here, like Mrs., first sorted out the accounts of a single month, then the accounts of a year, and finally the summary of accounts, but the number is not right, and there is a difference of more than 700,000 taels with Mrs. ”

Sun Bin and Lu Yushi were both shocked.

One is surprised that Qiao Lixi said so bluntly, and the other is surprised by the number of Qiao Lixi said.

More than 700,000 taels!

To put it too much, 700,000 taels of silver, how many soldiers and horses can be raised!

In fact, carefully calculated, more than 700,000 taels for more than ten years, and an income of 50,000 or 60,000 yuan a year, which is also a medium-to-upper income in the noble circle.

Well, of course, these are just the benefits on the surface, but they are not bad.

It's just that......

Lu Yushi held his breath in his heart!

He has long seen that the Marquis of Dingguo, who eats soft rice, is not pleasing to the eye, and he can't impeach a few words at such a good opportunity today, how can he feel comfortable?

So he was naturally a little biased towards Qiao Yixi.

Now when he heard that they were greedy for so much money from Gu Jinzhen and Qiao Yixi, his heart was even more angry.

"700,000 taels, such a large amount, we have to verify it clearly." Lu Yushi reminded.

"Qiaoqiao, Mrs. Ben and Master Hou looked at Brother Zhen'er and agreed to your unreasonable request, but it doesn't mean that you can get an inch! Aren't we wronged, 700,000 taels? How much can you do with 700,000 taels? If you look at the current appearance of the Hou Mansion, does it seem like there are 700,000 taels? ”

Feng Shi asked Qiao Yixi in a sharp voice, and the little servant reported outside that Gu Jinxuan had brought Chang Yulian and Gu Jintai together.

Feng frowned.

To be honest, she didn't want her two sons to get involved, but at the moment they were weak, and if there were a few more people, the momentum would be enough.

Besides, this is a family matter of the Hou Mansion, and her two sons are fully qualified to come in and discuss it together.

He gave the prince a look.

The Marquis of Dingguo let the people outside the door in.

Gu Jinxuan walked in the front with gloomy eyes.

After greeting everyone, the three of them walked to Feng's side and sat down.

At this time, the two groups of people in the room were facing each other.

"Look, this is where we have a disagreement again," Qiao Yixi spread her hands and continued the previous topic, "The list that Madame gave me, the accounts summarized on it are only five thousand taels of net profit a year. ”

Feng nodded, even the five thousand taels she was too much, but Shen Yuan had a lot of dowry shops and good locations, and the annual rent alone was more than this amount, if she really wanted to do too much, Qiao Lixi was afraid that she would not give up.

"After your mother-in-law died, the Hou Mansion was in urgent need of silver, and the Hou Ye had to worry about your mother-in-law's future affairs at that time, and at the same time take care of Brother Zhen'er, so he didn't have so much energy, so those shops were rented out. Because the rent is urgent, the price is not very good. Feng explained patiently.

"Later, the Hou Mansion relieved itself, but the tenants have always rented shops, and the Hou Ye is kind-hearted and can't do anything to cross the river and demolish the bridge, so the rent has not been high, and this rent is more than ten years." Feng Shi pointed to the accounts of the shops at the top of the list, and said to Qiao Yixi, "So these shops are not very profitable, and the back shops, as you can see, are all here." Later, Mrs. Ben entered the door, so she left the last few shops and ran them by herself, although the income was higher than that of renting a shop, but she could only barely cope with the expenses of the Hou Mansion, and there was not much surplus, and it was only slightly better in the past few years. ”

The implication is that Qiao Lixi's doubts about the authenticity of the ledger are completely superfluous.

Qiao Lixi was silent.

The three people who came in after couldn't stop being surprised.

Unexpectedly, Shen Yuan, who died early, left behind a few such profitable shops and Zhuangzi.

For more than ten years, more than 700,000 taels of silver, it is also at the upper level in the circle.

Who doesn't want their life to be easier and more luxurious, and really want to return the shop and Zhuangzi to the "Wutong Pavilion", the Hou Mansion has lost 50,000 or 60,000 yuan of income every year, which is directly reflected in their living standards, but it is not just two less clothes, less than a few antiques.

In the end, they are young, and the looks on their faces are too obvious.

"So, Madame is questioning the ledger in my hand?" Qiao Yixi asked in a low voice.

Feng smiled tolerantly: "Qiaoqiao, Mrs. Ben is not questioning, just raising reasonable doubts. You are also for Brother Zhen'er's good, Mrs. Ben is too late to be happy, Mrs. Ben is just wondering, where did you get the account book in your hand. After all, after Mrs. Ben took over the shop and Zhuangzi, she was afraid that the people below would not be convinced, so she was replaced by someone from the Hou Mansion, so she was naturally suspicious of the account book in your hand. ”

What is recorded in the account book is the flow of the shops, the flow of water is generated by business transactions, and the people on the shop are all people of the Feng family, where did Qiao Lixi know the flow of the shop, and how did he know the cost and income of these flows, and then calculate the net profit?

It's clearly a fake!

The Feng family did not persecute Qiao Lixi because of this, and even blamed her, the tolerance on her face that belonged to the elders was in stark contrast to Qiao Lixi's aggressiveness before.

"Sister-in-law, have you been deceived?" Gu Jintai, who is in his peers, is also concerned.

"Thank you Madame and the third master for your care and understanding," Qiao Lixi said, "Madame's dedication to the Hou Mansion over the years, everyone sees it, and the Hou Mansion can not be today without Madame's planning." Those shops, Mrs. is indeed running very well, whether it is leased out or left to run by herself, Mrs. is doing well, and the life of the Hou Mansion is getting better and better. ”

"It's a matter of duty."

Qiao Lixi said again: "Madame has been running a shop for so many years, and she must know that what is recorded in the account book is the daily and monthly turnover of a shop, and then the gross profit and profit, as long as there is business, there will be flow." ”

"That's nature, Jojo, are you trying to teach us how to do business?" Feng asked.

Qiao Lixi shook her head, "Madam misunderstood, I just want to explain to you what is recorded in the account book first." ”

"Now that you've explained it, then what?" Feng asked in a flirtatious tone.

"Then, I'm going to talk about what is recorded in the ledger."

Feng's expression froze, and the gaze he looked at Qiao Yixi was very unfriendly, and even had a murderous aura.

Qiao Lixi said: "Let's talk about these leased shops first. Madame is right, according to the contract you signed with the merchant, the rent is correct. ”

Feng's face softened.

The things are dead, but the silver is alive, and it has been spent so much that it is more painful for them to return it than for their lives.

"However, I found one of the interesting things that the rent transferred to the Hou Mansion every month is not the amount stated in the lease. Madame don't have any doubts, I not only checked the accounts of the Hou Mansion, but I also checked the accounts of the merchants, and the actual rent they transferred out was higher than the amount on the lease, but it matched the amount of rent received by the Hou Mansion, so it was not that my investigation was wrong. ”

"Qiaoqiao, do you know what the crime of checking someone else's account without permission is?" Feng suppressed the panic in his heart, and said step by step, "Since you have invited Master Sun to be a consultant, it is best to consult before acting if you don't understand the problem, it doesn't matter if you break the law yourself, don't burden others." ”

Feng looked at Sun Bin.
