"The grass people hope that before compensating, they can look at the accounts of Yong'an Hall in the recent period to determine whether they have really lost eight hundred taels, this request is not too much, right?" Xiao Yiran said lightly.

"This ......" Master Jia hesitated to look at Shopkeeper He, but when he saw the other party giving him an embarrassed look, he immediately understood and coughed: "This official has already read the account book of Yong'an Hall before going to the court, it is indeed eight hundred taels, you don't have to worry so much." ”

"Really?" Xiao Yiran's eyes narrowed slightly.

Her eyes were clear, like a basin of cold water falling from the sky, which made Lord Jia's heart weak, this feeling made him angry all of a sudden, straightened his chest, and he snorted coldly: "This son, you have questioned the official three times and twice, be careful that I treat you for the crime of disturbing the court!" ”

Hearing this, Shopkeeper He glanced at her proudly, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and then he turned his head and kowtowed to Master Jia and said, "Thank you, Lord for being the master of the grass people!" ”

Master Jia also pretended to wave his hand: "These are all things that this official should do!" He Yong, even if you go back and ask Baicaotang for the eight hundred taels of silver, if there is any difficulty, you can come back and tell the official. ”

"Thank you, sir!" Shopkeeper He thanked him again and again, but when he wanted to get up, a majestic male voice came from outside: "Wait!" Everyone looked up and saw a masculine middle-aged man walk in.

"Who's in the hall? How dare you trespass into the court?! Master Jia shouted.

The man walked steadily in front of him, and when he passed by Xiao Yiran's side, the corner of his eye swept towards her silently, and he took out a token from his arms and held it up in front of Lord Jia's eyes. Since he had his back to the crowd, no one in the hall saw what was written on the token. But Master Jia was suddenly shocked, and hurriedly ran to the man's side, and said, "Your Excellency is here?" ”

The man asked with a cold face, "Can you take a step to speak?" ”

"Of course! Of course! Master Jia nodded busily and invited him to the back of the hall.

The hall was quiet for a while, Shopkeeper He stared at the place where they disappeared for a while, and then looked at Shopkeeper Xue with a blank face and Xiao Yiran with an expressionless face, and for some reason, a bad premonition rose in his heart.

Xiao Yiran was clear in her heart, but she was now looking down and lowering her eyes, looking at her nose and nose, and ignoring the strange and curious looks of the people around her, making it impossible to see what she was thinking.

After a long while, just when Shopkeeper He stretched his neck and wanted to rush directly to the back hall, Master Jia appeared, followed by the middle-aged man from before, and the man walked to the middle of the public hall without saying a word and stood.

Master Jia glanced at him carefully, and then said with a narrow expression: "Cough! This official went to think about it carefully just now, there are indeed many negligences in this case, and the judgment just now is indeed a little improper, so now this official announces a new trial! ”

Shopkeeper He's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but shout: "My lord! ”

Master Jia didn't look at him, and continued: "This son of the hall, you just said that you want to see the account book of Yong'an Hall, right?" His face was pleasant, just like the two of them just now.

This surprised the shopkeeper Xue, but then a burst of hope rose in his heart, and he looked at Xiao Yiran excitedly, but saw that she gave him a reassuring look.

Xiao Yiran replied: "Yes." ”

Master Jia nodded: "Yes." That's as it should be. Although I have seen it before in the hall, it is only a hasty sweep after all, and if there is something missing, it may be better for you to take a look. He turned his head sideways and said to Shopkeeper He: "He Yong, you can show the account book of your Yong'an Hall during this period to Shopkeeper Xue and them, so as to convince the public." ”

Hearing this, Shopkeeper He was so anxious that he was sweating profusely, he didn't understand why the Lord Jia in front of him suddenly changed his hexagram, obviously they had already said before the opening of the hall, the eight hundred taels obtained from Baicaotang, Yong'an Tang was willing to divide four hundred taels. He kept glaring at Master Jia, but the other party always ignored him.

What Shopkeeper He didn't know was that Master Jia was not feeling good at this time, and the moment the master raised the token at him just now almost scared him to death! After that, they went to the back hall and talked for a long time, where did he dare to help them Yong'an Hall now?

Thinking that the four hundred taels of silver that originally reached his mouth flew like this, Lord Jia felt that his heart was dripping blood! But.......

He looked down in fear, no amount of money was as important as his black gauze hat, was it! Now, if he is still so blatantly abusing his power for personal gain, the person behind the person in the hall can let himself leave the capital at any time!

Taking in the expressions of the two of them, Xiao Yiran smiled beside him and said, "What shopkeeper, don't you bring the account book yet?" If you continue to shirk like this, I will wonder if there is something wrong with your ledger? ”

"Nonsense! Our ledger is absolutely fine! Shopkeeper He shouted loudly with a red face.

"Then please!" Xiao Yiran raised his eyebrows.

Shopkeeper He gritted his teeth, he had already vaguely understood at this time that today's reversal must be related to the middle-aged man who suddenly came over. He secretly glanced at the other party, only to see him standing there straight, doing nothing, but there was a majesty on his body.

He knew that they had kicked the iron plate this time, and it could be seen from Lord Jia's attitude that the other party must not be something that they could provoke in Yong'an Hall, and even in the Qinhou Mansion! However, he is now riding a tiger and is difficult, those eight hundred taels are his nonsense numbers, how can they match the account book? Shopkeeper He's mind was in chaos, and he didn't know what to do at all.

At this time, the middle-aged man suddenly spoke: "Shopkeeper He, in order to solve this matter quickly, Master Jia has already sent an official to your store to get the account book when he was still talking to Zai Xia in the back hall just now, so you don't have to ask someone to go again." ”

Shopkeeper He looked at Master Jia not far away in disbelief, but saw that he quickly looked away, not daring to look directly at him, a sense of powerlessness suddenly rose in his heart, he lowered his head with hatred, clenched his fists, I don't know whether he was angry or nervous.

Xiao Yiran smiled slightly, patiently waiting for the person with the account book to come over, during which her gaze collided with the man's gaze, and both of them nodded politely.

Soon, two officials came in from outside and sent the account book taken back from Yong'an Hall to Lord Jia: "My lord, I got the thing." ”

"Hmm." Master Jia bowed: "Just hand it to the son in the hall." ”

"Yes." The two handed the ledger to Xiao Yiran as ordered.

Xiao Yiran took it, picked up Shopkeeper Xue, and looked at the account book with him. But before they looked at two pages, they found an obvious problem: during this time, Yong'an Tang's Tiandong sales were not good, and they didn't sell much at all!
