Chapter 224: Problems with the Account Books

Concubine Jing, who was originally in the harem, made a big fuss directly after learning about this incident, but she didn't expect Baili Yunzheng to cheer up again now.

Concubine Jing originally didn't want to let go of Baili Qiao'er, but the emperor had already spoken, and she had no choice but to be lenient with that person.

After all, if Baili Yunzheng has already won the battle, in order to consider Baili Yunzheng's feelings, he can only release Baili Qiao'er.

After this accident, Baili Qiaoer's life in the harem has indeed improved, after all, because of Baili Yunzheng, the Internal Affairs Office has also sent a lot of good things over, and life can be regarded as good.

Wei Jingran, who was far away outside the city, could be regarded as having finished dealing with the things in his hands at this time, so when he returned to the capital, he didn't expect so many things to happen.

And recently, although he has lived in the Three Princes' Mansion, but now Chu Yunxiao still comes out from time to time to take care of Li Chuxia's restaurant, although Li Chuyun is helping, but after all, she is also a little girl who is not at ease, so the two of them have been busy in the restaurant.

Now Wei Jingran suddenly came back at this time, so when the three of them took care of the restaurant together, when Wei Jingran checked the accounts alone, he found that there was something wrong with the data written on them.

The price of each dish has been lowered, but the money is collected exactly the same, as if there is a fake account in the account book.

So Wei Jingran was very angry and asked another shopkeeper about this matter, because the restaurant needed the help of two shopkeepers, so occasionally when Chu Yunxiao didn't come, he was helped by another shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper saw that Wei Jingran came back at this time, and the first thing he did was to question himself after turning over the accounts, so he was also very worried in his heart, and he didn't know what happened.

"Wei Gongzi, I don't know why you suddenly came to me for?" The shopkeeper wiped the sweat on his head, after all, the man in front of him was just a spring breeze and rain, but the temperament on his body could not be stingy.

Wei Jingran looked at the shopkeeper standing in front of him, still respectful of himself, so he breathed a sigh of relief, and then patted the shoulder of the person in front of him, and said carefully.

"Although I know that a lot of money is sent to you every month, but you don't need to do any false accounting, if you send out the money you collected now, then I may be able to spare you, if you don't want to, then don't blame me for ignoring the past and firing you."

"What?!" The shopkeeper looked at Wei Jingran in front of him in surprise, he didn't expect that when this person came back, he found that there was a problem with the account, and he actually suspected himself.

The shopkeeper hurriedly explained: "I don't know where Wei Gongzi heard that I made this fake account, I haven't touched this account book since I came to this restaurant, although I collect money on weekdays, but this money is also put in the drawer in front of everyone." ”

"I'm really wronged, although I know that there is a problem with this account, and Wei Gongzi is very anxious, but there is no need to wronged a good person like this."

The shopkeeper is now very aggrieved, and he feels a little angry, the person in front of him actually asks himself directly if there is a problem with this account, but he has been doing it here for nearly a year, and he has never kept an account, and the account book has always been in charge of the second lady.

"What?" Wei Jingran also had some doubts at this time, but he didn't expect that this account book was not in charge of the shopkeeper, but Li Chuyun.

If you say that, all the fake accounts in this account book are all done by Li Chuyun, and as soon as this matter comes out, it is really amazing.

Wei Jingran thought about it carefully and found that something was not quite right in this matter, although he was a little puzzled before Li Chuyun's attitude changed a little quickly, but now he thought about it carefully.

Suddenly felt that Li Chuyun seemed to have something to do with Su Yuelan's previous incident, after all, she was only so young, so everyone didn't suspect this woman's head, plus she was the closest person to Li Chuxia, so everyone had no reason to suspect her.

However, when Su Yuelan died, she kept shouting that she was very wronged, and she could see her relatives before, but the first thing she saw was Li Chuxia, so this matter was also suspicious.

But now there is no evidence to prove that Li Chuyun is the one who framed Su Yuelan that time, but now I don't know why Li Chuyun, a little girl, wants to make false accounts behind her back.

Wei Jingran directly asked the shopkeeper to go back and continue to settle the accounts, but he was very anxious in his heart, if he wanted to tell Li Chuxia about this matter, wouldn't he be stopped by someone in the middle if he wrote a letter to the palace, but he had no idea now.

At this time, it happened that Chu Yunxiao and the third prince suddenly came to the restaurant, taking care of the business while casually looking at other accounts.

Chu Yunxiao felt that there were a slight discrepancies in this account, but he didn't look carefully, after all, this was always Li Chuyun's account, so he was also very relieved, so when he walked to the backyard, he found that Wei Jingran was standing alone in the courtyard and walking back and forth, very anxious.

After Wei Jingran watched the person in front of him come, he hurriedly sat down with pride as if he saw hope.

"You're here, I have something to tell you, but I don't think it's very safe here, let's find a safe place."

When Wei Jingran was about to call the people in front of him to leave, he found that the third prince had also come, so he hurriedly took the third prince with him, and the three of them went to a slightly empty place together, but there were no people.

"I don't know if the two of you have noticed that there are some problems with the account books in the restaurant, the discrepancies in the accounts on it are not at all the actual discrepancies, and they are missing more than half."

Wei Jingran now frowned and looked at Chu Yunxiao in front of him, after all, the first thing he did when he came back to check the accounts, but he found that there were loopholes in the accounts, if he told Li Chuxia in the future, how should he explain it?

"Huh? When I first looked at the ledger, I thought it was correct, so I didn't pay much attention to it. Chu Yunxiao looked at Wei Jingran in front of him with a surprised expression.

"What's wrong with this account?" The third prince stood next to him and looked at Wei Jingran in front of him with some confusion, but he didn't know why the person in front of him suddenly pulled them outside to say, although compared to the outside, the inside of the restaurant should be safer.

However, now Wei Jingran shook his head very seriously, "I found that the prices of the dishes in the restaurant have been reduced by half in the accounts, but the money collected by the shopkeeper next to him is the same as the previous price, the price on the account book has been reduced by half, but the money is all less than half." ”

"And not only that, originally I went to question the shopkeeper, but I didn't expect the shopkeeper to say that he had never touched the account book, and it was Li Chuyun who had always written the account book."

After speaking, Wei Jingran couldn't help but wonder if Li Chuyun had offended someone outside, or if something had happened, why did he do these things behind his back?

“…… It's true, when I came to the restaurant occasionally, I always found that the account book was not used by the shopkeeper, but Li Chuyun had been keeping accounts by himself. ”

Chu Yunxiao recalled that every time she came to the restaurant, she found that the account book was not touched by the shopkeeper, and Li Chuyun didn't take care of his own eyes when he wrote the account book, so he didn't suspect it.

"Do you still remember Su Yuelan before, that is, the woman who caused your miscarriage......

Although Wei Jingran knew that it was a little bad to mention this matter now, but now that he had suspected Li Chuyun, if it weren't for her, no one else would be able to do it.

"Hmm." Chu Yunxiao's face was slightly bad when he nodded, after all, this was his first child, but he was killed by that woman.

Wei Jingran looked at the person in front of him with a slightly bad face, so he continued: "Su Yuelan is obviously Li Chuxia's mortal enemy, but now because she is homeless, she came to find Li Chuxia, but she has never done anything behind her back, but this matter involves her. ”

"But have we ever thought about it, in fact, there is another person who is most likely to be poisoned, that is Li Chuyun, because she is Li Chuxia's sister, so none of us have ever suspected it, but she is actually the most likely person to be poisoned, because no one will suspect it, so there is no fear to do it."

"What ......"

Chu Yunxiao now felt as if she had been struck by lightning, shocked, she didn't expect that the person she had always trusted actually murdered her child, and she had never suspected her, but this little girl had done so much to herself behind her back, and even now she has done some strange actions.

"The matter has not been investigated clearly, but don't make up your mind for the time being......" The third prince looked at the woman beside him at this time, and seemed to really believe this sentence, so he made a very pertinent suggestion.

"Although I don't know if the child's matter was her hand, because there is no evidence, but she is the most suspicious, and now the account book matter is definitely her hands and feet, so if you calculate it, I'm afraid you will take out a lot of silver and millions of taels, right?"

Wei Jingran simply calculated the accounts on the account book and looked closely, there were already nearly 1 million taels of silver, but this account book had not been touched for several months, maybe there were already millions of taels, so he was very worried now.

"Hmm...... Then let's write a letter to tell Baili Yunzheng first, after all, Li Chuxia is now in the palace, and this letter will definitely be opened and read by many people, so it is better to be just in case. ”

While the third prince is now standing beside Wei Jingran and proposing, he is also wondering why this Li Chuyun has moved the hands and feet in the account book of the restaurant.

"Okay, actually, I have this intention, if I send the letter into the palace, many people will definitely see it."

Wei Jingran also nodded at this time, after all, this matter is very important now, and it must not let more people know, otherwise it will be a surprise.
