Section 63 Chapter 56 Debunked (120 Collections, Sent to One Chapter)
Early in the morning, after a few days of time adjustment, Dream Yu had adapted to the need to get up early to go to the council room. And on this day, Mengyu was even more energetic than usual, because she finally carefully checked the classification details of the things purchased by the Lin Mansion and the Sihai Dry Goods Store last month, and determined that the unit price of the things purchased by Bai Er's shopkeeper was falsely reported, although the book was real, it didn't need to cost so much at all.
"What do you have to tell you today?" Mengyu sat on the top seat, Xing'er and Tao'er stood on both sides, and Lin Da was still the old god sitting on the ground and Mengyu was working.
"Back to Miss Three, this is the account book for painting the garden railing, and all the relevant contents have been recorded in accordance with Miss Three's instructions, and the total amount has been calculated at the end of each page, and the total amount required has also been clearly calculated at the end of the entire account, and some notes have been made in detail afterwards for easy reference." Mr. Cui carefully held the account book in both hands, raised it above his head, bent over, and replied to Mengyu.
Mengyu glanced at Tao'er, and Tao'er immediately stepped forward and took the account book in Steward Cui's hand.
Mengyu opened the clearly written account book, and it did reproduce the way she had kept accounts in her life. Mengyu nodded slightly, and said to Steward Cui: "Good job, after you do this, do you feel that the accounts are more neat and the accounts are clearer?" ”
Steward Cui wrote: "That's true, thanks to the third lady's suggestion." ”
"So, every month of the year, every day of the month, every hour of the day, is always changing. If a person is always complacent, does not know how to make progress, or is obsessed with his own wrong choices, sooner or later he will step into the abyss of no return. Steward Cui, do you think what I said is right? Although Mengyu said to Steward Cui, he still looked at Bai Er Steward a few times in the middle.
"Miss's words are naturally right."
"That's good, if you don't have anything else to say, you can step back first." Mengyu watched Steward Cui return to the queue, glanced at all the stewards below, and continued: "Since you still have nothing to tell as before, it means that everything is running normally in the Lin Mansion, and everyone is doing their duty to work. Speaking of this, the stewards thought that today's council was about to end again, but they suddenly heard the third lady above her raise her voice and continued: "But Miss Ben inadvertently discovered some people who deceived their masters, lied about prices, and made huge profits!" The words of the dream shook the ears of the stewards like thunder on a sunny day, and everyone did not dare to move, for fear that one would accidentally lead the thunder to themselves.
"Second Manager Bai, do you think our Lin Mansion can have such an ungrateful villain?" Meng Yu smiled and asked the expressionless Bai Er Manager standing below.
Bai Er's manager took a step forward and saluted: "Back to the third lady's words, forgive the villain for being stupid and not noticing. If the third lady knew who was bold and reckless and did such a thing, she would definitely find out this person and correct the family style of Lin Mansion. ”
Mengyu didn't reply to Bai Er's words, but turned his face to Lin An, who was doing this below: "Chief Manager Lin, do you always think that how to deal with such ungrateful rats?" ”
"If Miss Hui San, if she can catch this person's handle, she will naturally announce all her crimes to the world and deal with them strictly. As a punishment! "Mr. Lin said this, although he was asking in response to the dream language, but in the words, he also mentioned the dream language, if there is no handle, it is better to try it again in the future.
Mengyu smiled and nodded: "What Chief Manager Lin said is extremely true! But the moment he said this, Mengyu's tone immediately became cold, and he stretched out his hand and shouted at Bai Er's manager: "Baimu, are you guilty!?" ”
The second manager of Bai immediately knelt down and said: "I don't know what the villain's crime is, my father and the villain have worked hard for the Lin Mansion for many years, and I also ask the third lady to find out the truth, don't wronged the villain!" ”
"Even now, you are still quibbling and unrepentant. Do you see what you buy every month at the Dry Goods Store and how much it costs? Mengyu threw the account book that had already been placed on the table to the second manager of Bai.
The second manager of Bai opened the account book on the ground and took a look, it was the details of the dry goods store in the four seas. Unexpectedly, these three young ladies really dared to burn this fire on his head, it seems that she thinks it is too easy to control the middle feed in the house, and if she doesn't give her some hardship, she won't know the pain! Fortunately, after receiving the whistleblower from the money account office, I made some arrangements. Wait a minute, if the third lady really dares to deal with him, then don't blame him for what kind of thing he will do!
Bai Er's face remained unchanged, still with an expression of imminent danger, and said to Mengyu: "This is the villain's purchase details in the Sihai dry goods store, I don't know if the young lady has any advice?" ”
"As you mentioned above, a total of five catties of abalone were purchased last month, and the unit price was seventy taels of silver per catty, a total of five hundred taels; Three catties of bird's nest, the unit price is one hundred and twenty-five taels per catty. These two things alone have a total of seven hundred and twenty-five taels of silver. Am I right? Mengyu has long kept in mind the weight price in the account book, but these two things, although the quantity is smaller, the unit price is relatively high.
Bai Er's manager didn't know what Mengyu meant, thought for a moment, and replied: "That's right. ”
"Okay, then let me ask you, the current market price is 70 taels of silver per catty for abalone, and 125 taels per catty for bird's nest?" Mengyu was following what she thought in her heart, step by step, luring the second manager of Bai Er into the pit she had already dug for him.
"The market price is indeed the case, the villain is reported according to the truth, if the third lady does not believe it, she can send someone to the Sihai dry goods store to ask." Mr. Bai Er smiled secretly in his heart, he didn't expect that he was just making a fuss about the price, how could a young lady know the price of these things. Even if someone is really sent to investigate, they will not find anything, after all, it is indeed sold at this price.
"I really don't believe it, and I did investigate, but I didn't send someone, I did it personally!" Mengyu replied lightly, but the last two words hit Bai Er's shopkeeper's heart hard.
I didn't expect the third lady to go in person, did she really catch him something? Otherwise, how could they be so swearing. It's impossible, the prices in every prefecture in Kyoto are not allowed to be known to outsiders, how can she know that everything I buy can be discounted? He must be lying to him!
"Oh? I don't know what the young lady will gain when she goes? The second manager of Bai frowned slightly, reluctantly suppressed the slight tension in his heart, and continued to ask.
"Naturally, there is. It's just that for the sake of your father's hard work for the Lin Mansion, I will give you another chance, if you confess, I will naturally be lenient, but if you continue to be stubborn, then don't blame me for being strict! "The old lady has been letting this second white manager be greedy and petty, and it is also because of his dead father, presumably the old lady does not want to feel guilty when she sees the honest and loyal former white chief manager a hundred years later. Now, she gave him a chance, but if this person's conscience was eaten by a dog, then she couldn't be blamed.
But when the second manager heard Mengyu's words, the nervousness in his heart turned into secret joy, these three young ladies really didn't know anything, otherwise how would they say such a thing as giving him a chance. So he replied boldly with confidence: "What the villain has never done, naturally he can't bear it, and please ask the third miss to think clearly, otherwise I am afraid that the reputation of the third miss will be affected." Miss San always doesn't want to have rumors like Miss Three don't know the truth of the matter, reverse black and white, and slander good people, right? ”
"You!" Mengyu couldn't get angry for a while, and kindly gave him a chance, so he replied. Such a tone to the master has long been a great disrespect! If you let it go any longer, I'm afraid that this hundred acres will really be the final word of this Lin Mansion! Mengyu smoothed his breath and instructed Xing'er to throw the paper of the shopkeeper's book that she had taken from the Sihai Dry Goods Store in front of the head of Bai Er.
"Presumably, when you buy from the Sihai dry goods store on weekdays, the second child of the store also gives you a list, right? It's the same handwriting as the one on it?! ”
Look at how you quibble in front of the evidence, this can't defeat you, but God really doesn't have eyes.
