When she came to the store, Ye Yun'er saw the person sent by the government.

When the messenger saw her coming, he walked up to her and said to her with a straight face: "Shopkeeper Ye, you are suspected of fabricating false accounts to evade taxes, this is a not trivial crime, come with us?" ”

Ye Yun'er tried her best to keep her composure and said to the officer, "Ladies and gentlemen, have you all read the account book?" Every one of my accounts is recorded according to the truth, and there is absolutely no inconsistence. But I don't know what made the adults feel that something was wrong and inconsistent with the facts? I hope you will give me some advice. ”

The officer didn't know much about this, so he got out of the way and asked the gentleman who was checking the accounts to come forward.

The man who checked the accounts was the bookkeeper in charge of taxation in the city, and he was the most clear about the methods of tax evasion and evasion used by these merchants.

He took an account book, opened a few pages, and said with his eyelids down, "The old man has only compared the number of your goods with the shipment records recorded on it, and found obvious discrepancies. Do you clearly record a great deal of accounts in this book, so that the total amount is low, and the tax paid is correspondingly reduced? See for yourself and still don't admit it?! ”

As he spoke, he threw the two account books to Ye Yun'er.

Ye Yun'er took the account book and took it to the counter to proofread it.

Gradually, her face became pale, and a few traces of cold sweat oozed from her forehead.

Sure enough, it was really as he said!

She thought of something and couldn't help but glance to the side.

looked around, but didn't see the person she wanted to see.

"Where's the old Ketou?" Ye Yuner asked Ah Fu.

Ah Fu frowned and said: "He asked for leave yesterday and said that he would go back to his hometown today, and said that he would stay for about ten days before coming back." So, today we are keeping our own accounts, but we don't think about it......"

As he spoke, he also sensed that something was wrong.

How could it be so coincidental that as soon as Lao Ke Tou left, this trouble came?

Ye Yun'er's fingers holding the account book unconsciously forced, almost crumpling and tearing the account book.

Could it be that there is a problem with the old Ke Tou? It's a shame that she still trusts him so much......

"Stop the ink, come with us, right?" The messenger urged impatiently, "Master Zhang is still waiting in the lobby to pick up someone." ”

Ye Yun'er slowly raised her head and bit her lip, "I'll go with you." ”

"We'll go with you." Afu Agui said immediately.

"No need, Lord Zhang only calls the shopkeeper of Tiye." The messenger said, urging Ye Yun'er a few more times.

"Look at the shop here, wait for me to come back." Ye Yun'er smiled reluctantly and walked straight out of the door.

"Miss Ye, take care." Tian Lingling's voice was slightly choked, and she seemed very worried about her.

Seeing that Ye Yun'er was escorted out, Ah Fu instructed the rest of the people to stay in the store, and he and Ah Gui followed.

Coming to the public hall, in a solemn atmosphere, Lord Zhang was looking at Ye Yun'er who stepped into the hall step by step.

Seeing Ye Yun'er kneeling, he slapped the startled wood and asked in a deep voice: "Ye Yun'er, someone reported that you deliberately fabricated account books in commercial transactions and did everything possible to avoid the taxes reasonably levied by the imperial court on merchants, is there such a thing?" ”

"My lord, the people are wronged!" Ye Yun'er responded categorically, a glint flashed in her eyes, and then she asked sharply, "But I don't know who reported the people's daughter?" The folk girl is the defendant, so there should be a plaintiff, right? ”

Master Zhang said nonchalantly: "This is an anonymous whistleblower, he knows that you have a strong backing, and he is just an ordinary person, and he doesn't dare to expose you in person if he gives him ten dares, lest he be retaliated against by you and end up in a bad end." Therefore, according to the law, I have allowed him to conceal his name, and not to confront you face to face. ”

Ye Yun'er sneered, "He can be anonymous, but he always has to make it clear, how did he know if there was a problem with the accounts in my store?" If you hear about it from the outside, it is called groundless, and it is made out of nothing. If it's a guy in my store, it makes sense. ”

Master Zhang frowned slightly, "This official said, you don't have to pay attention to everything about him, just clarify and defend your own account problems." or directly admitting that there is such a matter, it can be regarded as voluntarily surrendering, and the official can open the net and give a lighter punishment. ”

Seeing that Master Zhang was tight-lipped and kept the plaintiff's information secret, Ye Yun'er only felt a little angry.

Until now, she doesn't even know who the person who denounced her is, and it should be a little uncomfortable to put this matter on anyone.

She said with some anger: "My lord, it's okay if you don't tell the name and origin of the plaintiff, but if I clarify it for myself, will that person also have to accept punishment?" After all, he was the one who slandered me in the first place. ”

Seeing that Ye Yun'er grabbed this stubble and didn't let go, Master Zhang simply said impatiently: "Okay, if you really don't have any problems, this official will never easily let go of that person who made something out of nothing." This matter is the official's own judgment, so you don't have to bother. ”

Hearing that he promised like this, Ye Yun'er turned to clarify for herself: "My lord, I have brought those two accounts, please take a look." ”

Someone took the account book from Ye Yun'er's hand and handed it to Master Zhang.

After listening to this, Mr. Zhang slammed down the account book that made him dizzy, and said sharply: "What a bold profiteer, you dare to blatantly evade taxes, you don't take Wang Fa in your eyes at all, don't you?" If you do not follow the law and confiscate half of your possessions and assets, and make an example to all the merchants of the world, will not the order of the world be disturbed by you profiteers? ”

"Come on, put the paper in front of her and ask her to sign it!"

Immediately, someone put the document written by the master in front of Ye Yun'er.

Ye Yun'er didn't expect this case to progress so quickly, and she was slightly stunned.

She vaguely felt that Master Zhang seemed to want her to admit it, so that he could take the opportunity to suppress her?

She wished it was just her own delusion.

"Master Zhang, haven't you listened to me yet?" Ye Yun'er hurriedly defended, "The folk girl suspects that this account was deliberately framed by the old Ke Tou, the bookkeeper in my store, and I hope the adults will find out!" ”

Ye Yun'er's words were clearly heard by the onlookers outside, and Lord Zhang couldn't continue to force her to draw a detention, so he had to relax and say coldly: "Since he is your account man, he naturally listens to your orders, and he will do whatever you tell him, doesn't this just show that what the person who exposed you said is true?" ”

Ye Yun'er hurriedly shook her head, "No, my lord!" The folk girl suspected that the old Ke Tou was deliberately placed in my store by someone else, and secretly manipulated the account book while we were not paying attention. Otherwise, he would not have left the day before you sent someone, as if he had known that someone would come to you to denounce the people's daughter. ”
