Day 3.

The door of the shop in Angelica Pavilion was closed, and the people standing in the shop were silent.

There were two ebony chairs in the hall, one with black lacquer.

Dongxue put the two new account books on top of the small table, and Gui Diancui and Wu Yi'an sat on both sides.

The two cousins and sisters have not closed their eyes for two nights, but they are both full of energy, especially Wu Yi'an, who is even more noble and makes people dare not look directly.

"Cousin, you come first." Diancui said softly, such a tone, ordinary and light, even with a gentle smile, she never used coercion at will, but in the ears of everyone, there was no longer the suspicion and contempt in the heart when she saw this young owner on the first day.

"Okay, then let's talk about what I have gained in the past two days," Wu Yi'an was not humble, and directly waved his hand and brought the three people up.

I saw Du Xiaozhu and Li Qingshan dragging three people who were tied hand and foot forward, two of them were the two tea girls, and the other was a young man with clear eyebrows, but not from her Angelica Pavilion.

"Miss, the three of them are the culprits who stole the jewelry designs." Du Xiaozhu said hatefully.

"The owner is wronged, I didn't mean to leak that pattern!" The young man knelt on the ground with a puff and said hatefully: "Please also ask the owner to open the net, and the little one fell for this woman's poisonous plan without checking for a while." As he spoke, he pointed at the tall maid.

The tall maid, originally described as bright and beautiful, but at this time it was like a flower beaten by frost, listening to the young man's words, trembling and justifying: "It is clear that you are unruly, and you deliberately show off the pattern to me, and put it in front of me, can I still close my eyes and not look at it?" ”

"You...... You...... Don't pretend to be so innocent, it was you who tricked me with your beauty/tricked me in the first place, and I was fooled! The man scolded.

"Fart! It's clear that you are showing off that you have been used by your stewards, and you have to show it to me! "The tall maid also lost her temper.

The man scolded, the maid was not to be outdone, and the other short maid, listening to the two of them scolding, cried pear blossoms with rain, wanted to go over to persuade but did not dare to step forward because she was also tied.

"Quiet!" Dongxue scolded sharply, and the two immediately fell silent.

Diancui pointed at the young man and said, "So you are a craftsman in the workshop, you tell me first, what is going on." ”

"Yes, the owner, the small one is called Yang Yuan, a person from Linjun, working in the workshop, not a craftsman, he has been an apprentice for a few years, but he has to manage the cultivation, and he can make new noodles with several craftsmen, so he has the opportunity to see the new patterns sent by the main store in the capital every quarter." Yang Yuandao.

"This woman, she was originally a northern woman who came to our Hangzhou Mansion to beg for a living, Miss don't be deceived by her beautiful appearance, she is very capable, not only will seduce/lure men but also Danqing, those pattern drawings are after she saw them from me, went back and drew them and leaked them out." Yang Yuan pointed at the tall maid and said disdainfully.

This Yang Yuan's appearance was originally beautiful, but his hideous appearance at this time was terrifying.

"You're the one who leaked the pattern to Jin Yuxuan?" Dian Cui no longer paid attention to Yang Yuan, but asked the maid.

The tall maid listened to Dian Cui's inquiry, so she had to say calmly: "The slave didn't sell the pattern to Jin Yuxuan, but ......"

This matter was still investigated by the very powerful young master, she couldn't get out of it after all, and she admitted it if she wanted to send it to the official, so she simply shook it all up.

It turned out that Yang Yuan had secretly taken the pattern out of the workshop and showed it to her, but she saw that the pattern was very exquisite, and she went back to draw it for a while.

Suddenly, one day, the short maid came to tell her that the pattern she drew was taken by the other party Jin Yuxuan, and made a batch of jewelry according to that, and took two silver ingots with her, saying that it was a thank you gift from Jin Yuxuan.

The tall maid refused to accept the money, but the short maid persuaded her that the matter was already in the boat, and the pattern leaked out of her after all, if it was passed out, the shopkeeper Xie would not let her go, and he would not let her go when he returned home. But if no one said it, she could not only reach ten taels of silver, but also save a life.

The tall maid also figured out later that the pattern she copied was stolen by the short maid and leaked to Jin Yuxuan!

There is one in this matter, and there is two, and the short maid often urges and threatens her to see Yang Yuan again, and he shows her all the patterns, and then copies them and gives them to Jin Yuxuan.

It turned out that this thing was actually promoted by this crying and chirping short maid, and this person really didn't dare to look good.

Dian Cui looked at the short maid: "You are the spy sent by Jin Yuxuan!" ”

"Miss is wronged, the slave has never been to the Jin Yuxuan, and she doesn't know the people inside, and it is impossible to sell them the pattern drawing."

After saying that, the maid was a burst of pear blossoms and rain, crying and chirping, which made Dongxue feel so annoyed.

"Cousin, look ......" Dian Cui said helplessly: "Why don't you send it directly to the official." ”

Sending the officer? The short maid suddenly stopped crying, sat on the ground with a fart, and kept kowtowing: "Miss spare your life, young master spare your life." ”

The other Yang Yuan and the tall maid are also like ashes.

"If you don't want to report to the official, then hurry up!" Wu Yi'an said impatiently.

"Yes...... The slave maid is also a fascination with money, in order to earn more money, the pattern was sold to a person, but the slave maid really didn't know that he was Jin Yuxuan's person, please Miss must believe the slave maid! The short maid cried.

"Whether it's for money or love, you've always made a big mistake," Dian Cui said noncommittally, and added: "As for what to do with you, I haven't thought about it yet, so let's go and listen." ”

Du Xiaozhu dragged the three people with different thoughts aside, and it was Dian Cui's turn to talk about the account books.

Dian Cui pointed to a stack of thick account books on the table, and said: "In the past six months, the workshop has sent a total of 7,300 pieces of jewelry to the shop, large and small, and the five guys in the store sold nearly 4,000 pieces in the first three months, and only sold more than 1,000 pieces in the next three months due to the price reduction of the family, and now the inventory in the store is only 300, so where are the other 2,000 pieces of jewelry?" Thank you, shopkeeper! ”

Shopkeeper Xie trembled and opened the account books, and gradually beads of sweat the size of beans flowed out of his face.

"If you go back to the owner, the remaining two thousand pieces...... I don't know. ”

Dian Cui glanced at him, sneered, and said: "There are two thousand pieces of jewelry missing in the shop, and the shopkeeper Xie doesn't know, so where did the eight thousand taels of silver earned by buying jewelry that are clearly calculated on the account now, Song account room know?" ”

In the past few days, Lao Song, the bookkeeper, has been sent by Wu Yi'an to work with those strong guys, running all over the city to find Zhang Jiu, who stole the account book, and he doesn't know anything about what happened in the shop.

Now that there was a thick stack of account books out of thin air, he was suddenly taken aback, and quickly looked at Wang Shen, but saw that Wang Shen drooped his head, closed his mouth and refused to give him any hint.

Lao Song stepped forward in disbelief and flipped through the account books.

The ink on it will dry thoroughly, it seems to have been written in the past few days, and if you look closely at the content inside, it is the number of goods sold by each of the five sellers in the shop, which is recorded in detail and densely!

Lao Song's eyes widened, his back was not hunched, and he looked straight at Wang Shen, what the hell is going on, what happened in the only two or three days that he was away! Is this the creation of a book of accounts?

Wang Shen nodded at him dejectedly, and Lao Song put the account book back with a trembling tremble, secretly glad in his heart, fortunately he didn't catch the Zhang Jiu.

The two account books in Zhang Jiu's hands were made by him, and only he knew how many tricks were hidden in them. But now with these account books in front of him, if he takes them out with just a little pair, the six-year-old child can see that he is tired, and his fake account books and stealing money from the shop will be completely exposed!

Sure enough, Dian Cui opened his mouth and asked, "It's been three days, can my cousin find that Zhang Jiu?" ”

Of course I didn't find it, Lao Song has broken his old leg in the past few days, and I saw with my own eyes, I didn't even find the ghost shadow of Zhang Jiu!

"Naturally, I found it." Wu Yi'an said.

As soon as the second young master of the Wu family came out, what kind of things could he not do!

Lao Song staggered, and watched as if he had seen a ghost as if Zhang Jiu and the two account books in his hand were brought in......

It only took three days, just three days.

The two young cousins are really powerful, and as for how to hide from him and find this Zhang Jiu, he didn't even notice it at all. From the moment Lao Song saw Zhang Jiu again, he knew that it was completely over.

"Master, we finally met, fortunately, my life was not successful, I'm afraid I will disappoint the master."

Before the two cousins could interrogate, Zhang Jiu told the story of the incident:

This old Song and one of his apprentices, Wang Shen, began to make fake accounts after receiving a certain rumor after fighting last August, and secretly greedy for the silver in the ink shop, which was discovered by Zhang Jiu by chance.

Zhang Jiu originally planned to tell the truth to the shopkeeper Xie, but he knew that the shopkeeper Xie had always been good friends with Lao Song, and he was afraid that he would have selfish intentions, so he stole the account book and planned to go to Beijing.

Who knew that he was found out by Wang Xiang about stealing the account book, so he teamed up with Lao Song to kill him, Zhang Jiu had to take the account book to hide/hide, until he heard that someone from the head shop in Beijing came, he quietly came to find the young master.

In fact, he appeared on the second day of Diancui and Wu Yi'an, just to confuse Lao Song and them, Wu Yi'an never let him appear.

Lao Song's face was ashen at this time, and he was waiting for Zhang Jiu with hatred, this person who eats things inside and outside, cares in vain that he is still his master!

"Say, if all the money in the account is said to be greedy by you, I still believe that there are more than 2,000 pieces of jewelry, but they are also guarded and stolen to the Jin Yuxuan!" Wu Yi'an put the tea cup in his hand on the black lacquered wooden table and said coldly.

Lao Song hurriedly denied it, and also said that he didn't know anyone from Jin Yuxuan, and he dared to make fake accounts and embezzle the money of the ink shop because he listened to the advice of a person from Beijing.

"Advice?" Wu Yi'an said: "What advice? ”

"The man said that sooner or later our shop here will have to change the owner, as early as the year ago, after the year of the reprimand, the man also showed me the deed of our shop, and I believed it......" Lao Song said with a sad face.

He also wanted to take advantage of the old owner to change the new owner, take advantage of the chaos, who knew that three months had passed this year, until the shopkeeper Xie found out that the new owner of the shop had not yet come.

"The person who showed you the deed is not Jin Yuxuan's person, so he is from the capital?" Wu Yi'an asked again, this person he listened to Zhang Jiu's words and started to look for it yesterday, but there was no clue.

Lao Song shook his head, and he couldn't tell where it was from the accent.

"This person must have something to do with Jin Yuxuan, although no one has seen him enter and leave Jin Yuxuan, but I guess it must have something to do with Jin Yuxuan!" Wu Yi'an slapped the table, blaming the time for being too short, otherwise he would definitely find out this person!

"Can this person be called Guo Xu?" Diancui asked suddenly.

Old Song was stunned, and the Tao was called Guo Xu.

However, the name Guo Xu is too common, and it is extremely difficult to find just a name.

Diancui looked at the short maid who was already crumbling on the side, and said:

"It's also for this Guo Xu that you tricked the maid who was with you and leaked the pattern to him."

The maid gritted her teeth, and finally, nodded.

"Cousin actually knows this Guo Xu?" Wu Yi'an was also surprised, he took great pains to find it, and he didn't even hesitate to use the relationship between the government and the government, but he didn't find out this person.

"I naturally know, this Guo Xu," Dian Cui's always soft face rarely became cold and hard.

"My cousin couldn't find him, just because Guo Xu's name was just his pseudonym. His real name should be, An Peiqing, the second son of An of the Taichang Siqing family. ”
