Chapter 107: A Bad Debt

"Listening to the String Pavilion ......" squinted at Lu Yu, who had a small courtyard with a super high courtyard wall on the opposite street, and muttered three big gilded characters on the door plaque of the courtyard.

After reciting the big golden words, without even thinking about it, Lu Yu instantly decided that the small courtyard should be a private prostitution hall.

The so-called private prostitution hall is a self-employed green building, compared with the whining and group of young ladies in the ordinary green building, there is generally only one young lady in this kind of private prostitution hall.

There are two main types of young ladies who dare to open private prostitution parlors and engage in self-employment, one is the person whose family has been running a private prostitution parlor for generations, and their family has a fixed "source of customers" and a family business model, so they dare to operate independently.

The other is the super Oiran in the Daqing Building, this level of Oiran is professional, capable, and makes money quickly, so it generally doesn't take a few years for them to save enough money for redemption.

Of course, even if it is a self-run private prostitution house, there is not only the young lady in it, as the "CEO", what's the matter, when the guests come, they can't buy food, cook and clean it themselves, they have to hire some miscellaneous maids, so, under normal circumstances, there will not be too few people "stationed" in this kind of private prostitution parlor, but they are all women.

From the words "Listen to the String Pavilion" on the plaque, Lu Yu also analyzed that the young lady in the private prostitution hall opposite should be a master of musical instruments, otherwise, she would not dare to put the big word "string" directly on the plaque.

To tell the truth, Lu Yu is quite disgusted with living opposite the Qinglou, and the reason is very simple, because, under normal circumstances, the Qinglou is open at night, and a fuss is an all-nighter, which is a nightmare for Lu Yu, who likes to be quiet, and in addition, the young lady in the small courtyard opposite is a master who plays with musical instruments, if she stays all night with the "harmony of the piano", then ...... If you want to sleep peacefully at night in the future, it is estimated that it is all extravagant.

"Third young master, you can come, I've been waiting for you for a morning......" Just when Lu Yu was thinking about whether he would pay to buy the small courtyard opposite and let the young lady inside change places to run her leather and meat business, Lu Fu, the big housekeeper of the Lu Mansion, walked out of the shop while "complaining".

"I've kept you waiting, I'll invite you for lunch in a while, go to the most expensive restaurant......" Lu Yu, who was used to joking with Lu Fu, knew that the purpose of his "complaint" just now was to make a "big meal" for himself, so Lu Yu replied to meet his wish.

"It's still the third young master's atmosphere!" After turning his head and glancing at the few Lu Mansion servants who were following him, Lu Fu, who was satisfied, praised Lu Yu loudly.

"It's all cleaned up inside......" Lu Yu, who didn't have time to continue talking nonsense with Lu Fu, asked him after shaking his head with a wry smile.

"Back to the third young master, everything has been cleaned up, except for the things that need to be redeemed in the near future that are still left in the warehouse, those things that have passed the redemption period, we have all cleaned up the manor on the other side of the mountain......" After listening to Lu Yu's question, Lu Fu reported to Lu Yu in a whisper.

"Where's the ledger?" Lu Yu is not a stupid boy, he knows that for himself, the most important thing in this pawnshop now is the account book, if the account book itself is wrong, then, when he runs his own business in the future, it is impossible to say whether the pawnshop is profitable or losing.

"The account book is inside, third young master, let's go in and talk......" Lu Fu, who originally thought that his third young master was a hairy boy, was stunned for a moment after hearing Lu Yu's question that pointed to the core of the problem, and then he understood that his third young master was not simple, although he was usually not obvious, but he was definitely not the kind of gentleman who didn't know anything.

"Hmm......" After nodding and snorting at Lu Fu, Lu Yu turned to the big and small maids who had already come down from the opposite caravan and ordered: "You guys get the car to the backyard, and by the way, clean the room in the courtyard first......"

"Yes, young master......" After listening to Lu Yu's instructions, the maid replied to Lu Yu in unison.

"That ......" After assigning the task to the maid, Lu Yu turned around and leaned his head closer to the other caravan, and whispered to the four beauties inside: "You go to the backyard first and wait for me, and I'll go over when I'm done with my business......"

After speaking, Lu Yu followed Lu Fu and Lu Fu's servants into the pawnshop gate, and the maid drove two caravans into the small courtyard through the back door.

From beginning to end, Fan Nishang and Yan Wushuang never showed their faces in front of Lu Fu and them, and they didn't know that in the carriage that Lu Yu was driving, in addition to Mu Hanxiang and Hu Shi Niang, there were two other beauties, so it can be seen that Lu Yu's secrecy work was quite perfect.

"Third Young Master, this is the account book," After leading Lu Yu to the innermost counter in the lobby of the pawnshop, Lu Fu, the chief housekeeper of the Lu Mansion, took out a large booklet one meter long, thirty centimeters wide, and ten centimeters thick from behind the counter, and at the same time, Lu Fu's servants carried out two large boxes full of copper coins from the warehouse, "That's money, a total of six hundred and six yuan......

"Well......" After taking the account book handed over by Lu Fu, Lu Yu took a rough look at it, and he found that on this huge and extremely thick account book, there were only three pages of accounts, and the total number of transactions was just over two hundred.

Although Lu Yu in his previous life did not study accounting, he was born in engineering, and when he was in college, he was repeatedly "tempered" by advanced mathematics, so for the simple and direct account book of the ancients, it was easier for him to calculate than drinking water.

In addition, he has been cultivating immortals and practicing the Tao all his life, and his brain has been "evolved" by spiritual power, and his computing power is several times stronger than his previous generation, so when he calculates the ledger, his mental arithmetic speed is faster than that of a calculator, and in less than two minutes, he recalculated the hundreds of transactions on the ledger.

"No......" After putting down the account book, Lu Yu pursed his lips and shouted: "There is a mistake in the account, there should not be six hundred and six guan money left, there should be eight hundred and ninety-eight guan left, two hundred and ninety-two guan less, where did the less money go!" ”

"What's going on?" Lu Fu, who was stunned by Lu Yu's amazing ability to settle accounts, turned his head and asked a little guy behind him, that little guy was the person who worked in this pawnshop in the past.

"Puff ......", before Lu Fu could react, the little guy who was questioned by him knelt down, kowtowed to Lu Yu and said, "Third young master, this matter has nothing to do with me, it's all the shopkeeper's doing......"
