Chapter 55: Layout
"According to your instructions, find a few people who can replace the jewelry store, but I don't know that Lotus has such a hand." With a voice that only Ji Qiang could hear, the chamomile that had arrived late leaned into Ji Qiang's ear and whispered.
Ji Qiang nodded to indicate that she knew, she looked at the lotus flower hanging on the corner of her mouth sarcastically, and there was no way in her heart for a while, at first, she thought that the jewelry store was just the lotus and the people behind her came to respond to herself, and originally came here just to design to dispose of these people, and then replace them with her own people, and rectify the store.
A few days ago, Ji Qiang had also heard about the water in a warehouse on the edge of the city, but she didn't know that this had become the best cover for some people to construct fake IOUs.
"The issuance of an IOU requires a certificate from the financial management of the princess's mansion, why would a jewelry store open a big IOU, but someone secretly faked it and issued a fake certificate on behalf of my princess's mansion?" Ji Qiang's momentum has not diminished, she knows that the slightest retreat means that this confrontation is decided.
"The seal on the IOU was stamped by Steward Liu of the Princess's Mansion, Her Royal Highness the Princess can take a good look at it, is it fake?" Lotus held the IOU in her hand high in front of Ji Qiang's eyes, and the seal on it was clearly stamped, and it was indeed the official seal of the princess's mansion.
"Your Royal Highness, as early as a few days before we arrived at the princess's mansion, Steward Liu had already returned to his hometown because he was unwell, and he specially checked the public account before leaving, even if he made a fake account, no one would be able to find it now." Leng Xiang whispered in Ji Qiang's ear.
Things finally had an outline in Ji Qiang's heart, since she came to the princess's mansion, she had fallen into a bureau laid by her, she was in the whirlpool of the bureau, and the person who laid it out, she never knew who it was.
Whether it is the second aunt who is about to move, or the femme fatale-hearted Xia Chengmu, or the vicious Gu Hanyan, or the concubine Cheng Hui in the eldest princess's mansion, the concubine Yun in the harem, or the "Jiao" who has not shown up since the assassination, Ji Qiang suddenly felt a little tired in her heart, this is the first time she has felt powerless since she was reborn, even if she has prepared in a thousand ways, how can she deal with so many people.
The lotus in front of her was holding an IOU, as if she was showing off her might, Ji Qiang clenched her fists, her tired heart was thinking of the picture of her relatives dying in front of her in her previous life one by one, and her heart burst out with endless power, she couldn't lose, and she would never allow everything in her previous life to repeat itself in front of her again.
"The merchant who can provide hundreds of thousands of silver taels, I am afraid it should be a very famous businessman, there is no word from the merchant on this IOU, how to prove that the jewelry shop has booked the goods of great value, and what kind of goods have been ordered, where is the details, and what is the merchant, these can not be provided, how to prove, the IOU in your hand is true and valid." Ji Qiang, who was silent for a moment, straightened up again under everyone's gaze.
Lotus was not flustered under Ji Qiang's series of questions, she clapped her palms and said with a smile: "Her Royal Highness the princess still doesn't give up on the Yellow River, but if I shake this matter out today, it means that it is impossible to fake it, but this room is still a little dull, and it will not be clear until the outside." ”
The lotus walked to the door of the shop, the housekeeper Zhang who fell to the ground was not good-looking, the snot bubbles were trembling under the nose, the tears on the face were mixed with blood, which made people feel cowardly in their hearts, the lotus squinted and glanced at it, then covered her nose and walked to the other side, holding the IOU in her hand high and said: "Ten days ago, the jewelry store opened under the princess's mansion entered 400,000 taels of jewelry and gold and silver, who knew that the warehouse where these things were stored was drained, and the goods were burned clean, and now I am entrusted by the merchant to ask the princess's mansion for these predetermined payments, There's nothing wrong with that. ”
"Nope."
"Nope."
The crowd kept coming out of the intermittent sound, most of the people were waiting for the next word of the lotus, and the lotus was not in a hurry, and when everyone's appetite was hung up, and the voice of her continuing to speak sounded, the lotus continued unhurriedly: "This document is clear on it, and it is also the official seal of the princess's mansion, who knows that the princess's mansion is now going to pay the bill, everyone said, should this money be wanted." ”
"Yes."
"The official family can owe debts and not pay back, so how can there be a king in the world."
"Pay back, pay back."
The voices of catering sounded one after another, and most of the civilians who set up stalls and carried burdens made the sound were at the lowest level on weekdays, and once there was a place where they could scold the officials, they would naturally not miss it.
Seeing that the scene was about to get out of control again, the two maids standing beside Ji Qiang in the shop couldn't help it, and opened their mouths to scold.
"Why do you say that our princess owes you money, our princess has only been in the princess's mansion for a few days, how can a villain like you be framed by it." Chamomile's hands were shaking.
Leng Xiang has a calm temperament, but at this time, he finally couldn't hold it back, "You said that the IOU is true, where are the manifests and merchants?" Don't be falsely accused of false accusations. ”
"I'm the merchant."
Before Leng Xiang finished speaking, the crowd made a way, and another carriage drove to the front of the store, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, a stubby boot stepped out, a fat belly came out again, and then a face covered with fat, grouping these together, it was an extremely obese middle-aged woman.
The middle-aged woman rubbed to the side of the car little by little, and at this time, two handsome-looking, scholar-dressed teenagers got down from the carriage, they jumped out of the car, knelt on the side of the car and set up a human ladder, and the fat woman's boots stepped on the young man's prostrate back.
The young man's body continued to tremble, as if he was under great pressure, and Steward Zhang, who was leaning against the door, was stunned, and even forgot to wipe the snot that flowed on his clothes.
The fat woman standing on the young man's back stopped for several breaths, looked at everyone in front of her one by one, and then shook her fan and stepped on the ground from the young man's back.
The two teenagers slowly got up from the ground, and on the ground where they knelt, two sweat stains were already wet.
The fat woman who stopped in front of everyone wore the most spacious satin, and she couldn't cover the falling flesh that overlapped down her body, and she wore gold and jade all over her body, and even hung two jade bead chains around her neck, for fear that others would not know her worth.
"The hostess of the Jia Shang Su family, Kuang's family, heard that she once sold salt with her husband Su Xie Yun in the south of the Yangtze River, and made a huge fortune, and then Su Xie Yun lingered in the fireworks place and died under the woman in her early years.
"I heard that this woman is also Su Xie Yun is virtuous, a good man, I don't know how many young people have been ruined."
The merchant who knew the identity of the fat woman shook the folding fan and sighed.
