Chapter 178: It's Still Too Tender
In accordance with Ye Shaolong's instructions, the iron tower personally sent the counted accounts to Mingzhu Gege. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info looked at the thick large account book, and Mingzhu Gege was a little in a trance.
Originally, she was not a person who liked money, and she had never been fascinated by money since she was a child. But this trip to the provincial capital obviously refreshed her concept of money.
Scrolling all the way to the final summary, a rough estimate is a little more than 100 million taels. A prefect made 10 million taels, which already shocked her, not to mention a merchant family with the least status, who actually copied out 100 million taels.
"Is this Li family also an accomplice with Dorha?" Mingzhu Gege quickly came to his senses after being shocked. She immediately suspected that this was Ye Shaolong's personal vendetta in the communiqué.
After all, she had to ask how a small local merchant could become a gang with Dorha for the reasons it was. If Ye Shaolong really declared a personal vendetta, she would not mind reporting the matter to the emperor.
The iron tower obviously didn't know that Mingzhu Gege would ask this question, and his young master copied the Li family and did not take the money, and handed it over to the emperor. And Mingzhu Gege actually suspected that his young master was selfish.
Tie Ta immediately sank his face and said sullenly: "This Li family did have a personal enmity with our young master, but my young master will not become such a villain." The Li family had colluded with Dorha, and the Li family was not a good thing, if Gege didn't believe it, he could go to the outside of the mansion to see it now. ”
Mingzhu Gege actually suspected his young master for the first time, which made Tie Tower very annoyed. After showing Mingzhu Gege outside, he turned and walked straight away.
For those who dare to be disrespectful to their young master, Tie Ta doesn't bother to talk to him. Looking at Mingzhu Gege's appearance, it is obvious that he is doubting Ye Shaolong, which is more serious than doubting himself.
Mingzhu Gege felt the change in the tower's mood, and looked at him with some confusion and left angrily. Then she remembered what the tower said before leaving, and she came to the gate of the palace with full curiosity.
I saw that the people were already surrounded outside, and there were three clerks taking notes for the onlookers. The famous book Gege was curious for a while, so he stepped forward to see what he was remembering.
She paused for a moment by the clerk's side, and soon realized that what the tower had just said was true. These people all came to list the Li family's wrongs, and after listening to them for a while, Mingzhu Gege lost interest.
turned around and went back to the mansion, Tang Feifei and Su Xiaocao had already returned, and now they are also temporarily living in the mansion. She also heard that Su Xiaocao and Tang Feifei seemed to have had a conflict with someone outside earlier, but fortunately, Ye Shaolong arrived in time, which allowed the two girls to escape.
Ye Shaolong also returned to the mansion that night, and as soon as he picked up the rice bowl, Mingzhu Gege came over, holding the account book sent by the iron tower in his hand.
"Smack!"
Mingzhu Gege's face was expressionless, and he threw the thick account book directly in front of Ye Shaolong, which shook the wooden table and trembled. The soup on the table almost came out, Ye Shaolong was very unhappy about it, thinking that this aunt and grandmother were just difficult to serve.
"What's wrong? Who dares to make Mingzhu upset, I will beat him. Ye Shaolong threw down his rice bowl, suddenly got up and began to roll up his sleeves.
"Humph!"
Mingzhu Gege snorted coldly, pointed to the account book and said: "I looked through the entire account book all afternoon and found that there was indeed a lot of money in it, but you seemed to be taking the kickback too hard." ”
There was nothing wrong with the ledger, and the tower didn't let anyone do anything. It's a pity that Mingzhu Gege is not stupid, obviously Ye Shaolong did too clean.
According to her understanding of Ye Shaolong, she definitely didn't believe that he would not do anything with money, so she put down the account book and began to inquire about the situation of the Li family.
After this inquiry, he immediately discovered that something was wrong, and the Li family was the number one merchant in the provincial capital. It seems reasonable to say that he is the richest man in a provincial city, but the entire property of the richest man in a provincial city is only this 100 million taels of silver.
Mingzhu Gege quickly looked through the account book again, and found that the numbers and things recorded in it were only searched in the Li Mansion.
As for the Li family's industries, shops, and commercial trades, there is no record at all. Mingzhu Gegden reacted when she realized that Ye Shaolong was obviously deceiving herself, and she was deceived at first that Ye Shaolong was really not greedy for money at all.
Ye Shaolong's heart trembled, and then he realized that he had indeed gone too far. When I raided my house, I wasn't greedy at all, didn't I tell others that I had a problem?
secretly scolded himself for being stupid in his heart, Ye Shaolong didn't panic, fortunately he also made some preparations, and said with a smile: "It seems that Gege has a big opinion of me!" ”
"You can explain it, the largest merchant in a provincial city, his entire family business is only 100 million taels of silver, who believes this? I'd like to see what else you can quibble. Mingzhu Gege sneered again and again, with a smug face.
Ye Shaolong was still not in a hurry, sat down again, picked up the rice bowl and took two mouthfuls of rice before he said vaguely: "There is no problem with this account book, right, the things copied out of the entire Li family's mansion are recorded, have you found a single omission?" ”
"The account book is naturally fine, but what I want to question is that the Li family is not only the property of the mansion, but also those shops and trade things, these should be the real big heads of the Li family, right?"
Ye Shaolong nodded and said, "What you said is completely correct, but you should also see the people who came to report the case outside the gate of the government this afternoon." The Li family was rich and unkind in the provincial capital, and used oppression and illegal means to solicit money from others. Except for the things in the Li family's mansion, haven't the others been checked yet? ”
Mingzhu Gege was stunned, and only after a long time did he hesitate and said, "Do you want to return those illegal gains of the Li family to the local people?" ”
At this time, Mingzhu Gege can be regarded as reacting, if Ye Shaolong really plans to do so, then there is indeed nothing wrong with it.
However, she herself has not really found out what happened, so she indiscriminately asked Xingshi to ask for the guilt, it seems that she is wrong.
As soon as he saw Mingzhu's momentum suddenly drop, Ye Shaolong smiled secretly in his heart, this chick wants to fight with herself, but she is too tender! After all, she is still a person who has never really rolled in the mall, and in front of these dark rules, she is a little budding.
"What do you think? Shouldn't I give back to the people what belongs to them? Ye Shaolong was secretly happy in his heart, but on the surface he was serious.
Mingzhu Gege was speechless for a moment, and things seemed to be as Ye Shaolong said. At least now he couldn't refute it, and after silently raising for a moment, Mingzhu Gege quickly picked up the ledger, turned around and walked out of the house. Before leaving, he quickly said, "I'm sorry!" ”
