Chapter 282: Embezzlement of Silver Taels
In the house, the fire was flourishing, and a family was burning.
Qin Yuanxi sat at the table a little bored, with a pair of bright phoenix eyes, listening to the situation of the shops that Ziyin came up.
Ziyin is a careful planner, even if she knows that the master doesn't understand, she will explain everything clearly in detail.
Until the end, she will summarize and narrate, "Princess, this is the various income statistics of the shops last year, you can see for yourself, the general income is in two hundred taels, the same as at the beginning of last year, they have all been transported back to the capital." ”
Originally, Qin Yuanxi was still confused about this, but when he saw Ziyin talking about receiving two hundred taels of silver, his eyes suddenly lit up.
If you want to talk about spending money, she was like flowing water before she was poisoned, but she became stupid after being poisoned, and Qin Yuanxi was very rare when she left the palace.
She can't see any money on weekdays, and these two hundred taels are a lot of money in her eyes now.
She couldn't help but sigh, "Two hundred taels of silver is so much? These are all mine? Won't it take a long time? ”
Zi Yin smiled and agreed, "Those shops belong to the princess, and the money you accept is naturally the princess's." ”
Qin Yuanxi was happy at this news, but Ziyun on the side couldn't help frowning.
Isn't this money too little?
Although she did not participate in these things, the shop made a profit of 1,000 taels at the beginning of last year.
I don't have to say that 400 is stolen money, but no matter how you say it, it won't be less than 600 taels.
But one year, the shrinkage is so heavy?
"That's not right, isn't it," Ziyun's eyes became vigilant at Ziyin's narration.
"Why is it only two hundred taels, but I remember that the princess's shop had a profit of one thousand at the beginning of last year, and it should be six hundred taels if it is removed."
As soon as he heard that it was a thousand, Qin Yuanxi's eyes were about to pop out.
She looked at Ziyun and tried to verify it, but she quickly wanted to know Ziyin's explanation.
"Sister Ziyun doesn't know, last year, because of the princess's business, the shop suffered a certain impact, and the people didn't buy the goods of the princess's shop, so the profit shrank seriously." Speaking of these, the expression on Ziyin's face was also full of regret and unwillingness.
Then, she began to make a big prediction, "But now that the turmoil has already passed, this year should be good, maybe the profit can return to five or six hundred." ”
"Yes...... Ziyun's doubts in her heart were slightly reduced, and she further raised her puzzlement,
"But the princess's shop is run by those vendors, how can the people of Dongdu know, even if it is affected, it shouldn't lose six or seven percent of the profits, right?"
"This ...... I don't know," Ziyin choked at the rhetorical question, quickly hiding the panic on her face.
was only a little hesitant, and she said again, "Sister Ziyun, the eastern capital is not an ordinary place, I guess there may be more businessmen coming and going from the south to the north, and there will be more slander to the princess." ”
"I still don't think it's right,"
Ziyun stared at Ziyin's face, although she had never seen hypocrisy in it, she was vigilant.
"Two hundred taels is really too little, Sister Ziyin, what are you afraid you are hiding?"
Since the princess had an accident, Ziyun has become sensitive in her actions before and after, which is also the reason why she can question Ziyin today.
It's just that what she is not sure of is that this questioning is true and she has not wronged Ziyin.
Although the profit of Dongdu shops last year was less, it was more than 400.
Ziyin is not a self-willed lord, there is a great opportunity, so she naturally wants to embezzle a piece of meat from it.
She secretly took one hundred and ten taels, and the rest was a moth in the shop.
In the face of Ziyun's pressing step by step, Ziyin was so anxious this time that she was completely speechless.
I just took more than a hundred taels by hand, and now the princess can't use it up, so I can't imagine that I will be questioned in person.
The problem is, even if she doesn't take it, it's only three hundred!
Who to talk to?
Flustered in her heart, she only hated Ziyun for being nosy in front of her.
"How am I... How do you know, there are so many in the ledger I got it, but this ledger must be correct. ”
As she spoke, Zi Yin's eyes for help turned to Qin Yuanxi, expecting this fool to say something good for his hard work.
It is obvious that she is the right person, and now Qin Yuanxi is a good person, thinking that everyone is kind, and he can't see others targeting each other.
"Okay, okay, Ziyun, don't be like this, two hundred taels of silver is already a lot, and I can't use it up."
Qin Yuanxi had already pulled Zi Yin behind him to protect him, as if he was guarding Zi Yun for bullying others.
Looking at Ziyun, her face was a little complaining, "Ziyin has been working hard these days, what does she know, don't you want to target her like this." ”
On the wedding night the day before yesterday, Ziyun expressed her hostility towards Xiao Jinfeng, and she had already given birth to a gap, and this time today, it touched Qin Yuanxi's nerves even more.
Her temperament does not allow the people in front of her to target each other, although she doesn't know whether what Ziyun said is true or false, but she is not allowed to suspect Ziyinde.
Obviously, Ziyun was hostile to the colt first, and then suspicious of Ziyin, which made Qin Yuanxi's dissatisfaction even heavier.
"But the princess ......." Ziyun still plays the role of a faithful protector,
"The slave maid thinks that there is something strange about the shop, so it is better to send someone to investigate......"
She saw the impatience on her master's face, but she couldn't help it, there were people with bad motives, and now there could be no mistakes around the princess.
Without waiting for these words to be finished, he was interrupted by Qin Yuanxi's temper again, "I said no!" ”
"Ziyun, why are you so disobedient, your family is all your own people, what are you doing?"
Realizing that the master was really on fire, Ziyun shut up angrily.
Ziyin saw it in her eyes, and couldn't help but gloat a little more about the two fools in front of her.
The suspicion has already been put on the ground, and she naturally can't stop there.
After turning her gaze, she thought that she was advancing and retreating, "Princess, don't lose your temper, Sister Ziyun is also cautious, otherwise, the slave maid should still check according to Sister Ziyun's words, maybe someone really embezzled the silver taels?" ”
Ziyin's reassurance made Qin Yuanxi breathe a sigh of relief, seeing that she didn't take Ziyun's words to heart, she couldn't help but like this palace maid a little.
"Ziyun, look at it, you suspect Ziyin, Ziyin still wants to help you speak, do you think this looks like a bad person?"
Afraid that the princess would lose her temper, Ziyun didn't dare to defend herself, so she had to bow her head, "What the princess said is that the slave knows that she is wrong, and she shouldn't suspect the sisters around her......"
"It's good to know that you're wrong,"
Qin Yuanxi nodded with satisfaction, and looked at the two of them with his hands on his hips for a while.
Then she waved her hand to dismiss Ziyin's opinion, "If you want me to say that this matter doesn't need to be investigated, Ziyin will definitely be able to handle things well, according to what she said, it is normal to estimate that there is less silver." ”
Ziyun is kind enough to be a donkey's liver and lungs, so she doesn't dare to say much for the time being, and Ziyin will not be stupid enough to make trouble for herself when she is idle.
At this point, neither of them gave any more opinions, which was considered to be the answer.
