Chapter 22: Secret Planning
The night was dark, and the neighborhood was all pitch black, only the lights of Zhang's house were still on, and the dim halo flickered and dimmed, showing an anxious posture in the dark.
"What?! You actually embezzled the owner's money?! Zhang Li's shrill voice pierced the darkness and pierced people's eardrums.
"What are you doing so loudly, for fear that others won't know that Lao Tzu has done something wrong?!" Zhang Jincai turned his head, and his face was terrifyingly dark.
Zhang Li knew that he was wrong, so he hurriedly lowered his voice, cried and pulled: "You dead thing, how can you embezzle the owner's money, what if this is discovered!" ”
"Our family is counting on you to earn money to live, Ah Niu is still so young, he will marry a daughter-in-law when he grows up, and his in-laws are also old, so we have to raise ......"
As soon as Zhang Li opened his mouth, he couldn't finish talking, and Zhang Jincai listened to it with a big head.
With a 'snap', he turned his hand and gave Zhang Li a slap, "You shut up Lao Tzu!" ”
Zhang Jincai lowered his voice, gritted his teeth and said indignantly: "Lao Tzu has done something for Juyuan Qian Zhuang for so long, what's wrong with embezzling a little silver!" No one has ever found out before! ”
"Mu Yunqian, that stinky girl doesn't know how to be a person, she will check the accounts as soon as she comes, and she won't even let go of a few hundred taels of silver! Wait and see, Qian Zhuang is in the hands of this girl, and sooner or later she will have to be ruined! ”
Zhang Jincai hated Mu Yunqian so much that his teeth itched, and he just hated that he couldn't clean up Mu Yunqian now.
However, Zhang Li said with a crying voice: "Then what should we do now?" Or I will beg my cousin, he is in charge of the Mu family, let him intercede for you, maybe this matter will pass! ”
Zhang Li's complains are complaining, but she is more worried than Zhang Jincai that he will lose his job, after all, if this kind of thing spreads, which store will dare to ask Zhang Jincai in the future?
"Come on!" Zhang Jincai heard Zhang Li mention his cousin who was in charge of the Mu family, but instead of being happy, he said with disgust: "Just your cousin, who is as fine as a squid, he may not come to him for good things, let alone this kind of thing!" ”
After Zhang Jincai finished speaking, he walked to the door of the room with an irritated face and said, "I'll go out to sleep and won't come back tonight." ”
After speaking, Zhang Jincai left without looking back, leaving Zhang Li alone in the room to wipe his tears.
And then for a few days, Zhang Jincai was looking for someone to borrow money everywhere, trying to settle the account, but those fox friends and dog friends who had been in close contact in the past were now missing one by one as soon as he had something.
Zhang Jincai was depressed, and as soon as he went home, he couldn't help but be angry with Zhang Li's, and Zhang Li's didn't dare to resist, so he only suffered it.
"Xianggong, I went to find my cousin two days ago......" Zhang Jincai came back from the shop on this day, and Zhang Li carefully opened his mouth when he was serving Zhang Jincai vegetables.
"Hmph, what's the matter, it's closed?" As soon as Zhang Jincai heard this, he immediately sneered and mocked.
Zhang Li was stabbed by Zhang Jincai, and her expression was suddenly a little embarrassed, but she continued: "At first, my cousin was reluctant to help, but this morning my cousin suddenly came to me and said that I would let Xianggong go to Mingxiang Pavilion to see a master, and that master would help us...... Xianggong, you see ......"
"There's a master who wants to see me?" Zhang Jincai stopped what he was doing, touched his chin and groaned for a while, and finally went according to the time and place that Zhang Li said with the mentality of not going to nothing.
When Zhang Jincai arrived at the teahouse, the 'master' was already there.
"Second Miss." At the moment he saw Mu Rou, Zhang Jincai was slightly disappointed, but he didn't show it on his face.
"Shopkeeper Zhang." Mu Rou turned around and nodded to Zhang Jincai, with a gentle smile on her face.
"The second young lady specially called here, is there something wrong?" Zhang Jincai asked a little absent-mindedly.
Mu Rou felt that the people in front of her seemed to look down on her, the smile on her face faded slightly, her eyebrows were raised, and she changed her tone and said, "I heard that Shopkeeper Zhang seems to have encountered some things recently. ”
Mu Rou's words made Zhang Jincai's heart skip a beat, he glanced at Mu Rou, and saw that Mu Rou's face was dark, and he couldn't see joy or anger.
He wasn't sure how much Mu Rou knew about him, so he just replied vaguely: "It's a little problem......
"Really? Is the shopkeeper sure it's just a minor issue? Mu Rou smiled coldly, stared at Zhang Jincai and said slowly: "But as far as I know, if the shopkeeper Zhang doesn't solve that little problem, I'm afraid the position of the shopkeeper will be unstable." ”
Mu Rou's appearance of knowing him well made Zhang Jincai's heart startled, he opened his eyes and turned around, and finally suddenly lowered his posture, and humbly bowed his hand to Mu Rou and said: "Second Miss Mingjian, please also ask Second Miss to help in the next hand, and in the next day, I will definitely be a cow and a horse for Second Miss, and go to the soup and fire!" ”
"Heh," Zhang Jincai's bowing head made Mu Rou very useful, and she raised her chin proudly and said, "I asked the shopkeeper to come over today, just to help the shopkeeper solve the problem." ”
"But I don't need you to be a cow or a horse for me, I just need you to help me do something, and when it's done, I can give you another sum of silver."
Mu Rou's conditions are indeed very tempting, but Zhang Jincai is also a person like a human spirit, knowing that there is no such good thing as a pie in the world, so he did not rush down, but asked tentatively: "I don't know what the second lady asked me to do?" ”
"It is good for you and not harmful." Mu Rou didn't say it directly, but said, "You just need to do what I say, and you don't have to worry about the rest." ”
Mu Rou's concealment made Zhang Jincai very unhappy, but now that the dominant power is in Mu Rou's hands, he doesn't have much to say, so he left after being silent.
……
A few days later, Zhang Jincai returned the ledger to Mu Yunqian.
"Miss, all the problematic accounts have been re-aligned, Miss, please take a look." Zhang Jincai touched the two mustaches on his lips and stood aside with a straight face, as if Mu Yunqian owed him money.
Mu Yunqian opened the accounts and checked them again, and saw that so many problematic accounts had actually made Zhang Jincai settle within a few days.
It seems that there should still be someone after this fortune. Mu Yunqian closed the account book quietly, and said calmly: "It's hard to be in charge, if the shopkeeper is fine, go out and get busy." ”
"Yes." Seeing that Mu Yunqian couldn't pick out any more thorns, Zhang Jincai sneered in his heart and retreated like no one.
In the blink of an eye, it was night, and Mu Yunqian was the last person to leave the money village as usual.
Not long after Mu Yunqian left Qianzhuang, a dark shadow quietly appeared, opened the door of the treasury with a key, and stayed inside for a while before he flashed out again.
