Chapter 360: The Problem of Bad Debts
Nalan Mansion is a place known by people within a radius of a hundred miles, but it is not something that anyone can enter and exit casually.
Lin Dacheng was able to enter through the back door with such a swagger, which shows that his arrogance in the mansion is unstoppable.
Erhan told Nalan Jin about Lin Dacheng's return to Nalan Mansion, which made her feel a little surprised, and she didn't leave the dignified gate, but went through the back door.
"This Lin Dacheng hasn't been back since he fell out with the Lin family last time, is this the sun coming out of the west?" Nalan Jin really couldn't think of the reason.
"Didn't he lose money at the gambling house? I must have gone back to get the money. Erhan guessed.
"Didn't he lose a lot before? It's not that simple at all. Nalan Jin didn't believe that Lin Dacheng was just for the silver.
Erhan couldn't figure it out, but it was not easy for onlookers to intervene in this kind of thing within the high wall.
Nalan Jin specially bought some things to visit the Lin family, and heard Lin Dacheng and the Lin family arguing in the house, and the maid went in to report it, and then she heard the voice inside settle.
"I heard the voice of the godmother outside, and it seems that the godmother's body is almost fine." Nalan Jin cared about Lin's health when he entered the door.
Seeing Nalan Jin come in, Lin Dacheng subconsciously hid behind the Lin family, and looked like a cowardly king.
"Thanks to your care, it's been much better." Lin looked at Lin Dacheng beside him embarrassedly, not knowing how to explain.
"I bought you osmanthus cake." Nalan Jin asked Cui'er to take the osmanthus cake to the Lin family, and helped the Lin family sit down by the way.
It was such a moment that Nalan Jin saw what Lin Dacheng was holding in his hand, shining brightly, and the copper smell was undoubted.
"There is food and clothing in the house, so don't worry about me in the future." Lin Shi exchanged a few words of greeting with his subordinates.
Nalan Jin smiled and gossiped with the Lin family, but his eyes did not leave Lin Dacheng's hand for a moment.
After coming out, he sent Cui'er to stare at Lin Dacheng, and Nalan Jin wanted to see who was the initiator behind this.
Cui'er followed Lin Dacheng around and around in welfare, and walked around many places. Originally, they wanted to blackmail, but they saw Lin Dacheng hiding far away in fright.
When Cui'er was following Lin Dacheng to investigate, she was startled by the housekeeper who suddenly appeared, "Cui'er, I'm looking for you everywhere." ”
Cui'er was so frightened that she looked back and saw that it was the housekeeper, and then she breathed a sigh of relief, "Butler, why did you stand behind me silently and startle me." ”
"I think you're too focused and won't answer for a long time." The butler pointed hintively ahead, "What are you looking at, so distracted?" ”
The housekeeper pretended to be casual and asked, and Liu'er, who followed, nodded hello to Cui'er behind the housekeeper.
Cui'er wanted to speak and stopped, but she couldn't tell about her tracking Lin Dacheng, and she was embarrassed, "Miss forgot the gouache I bought, and I was worried about how to explain to Miss." ”
Cui'er pretended to be scared and looked at the housekeeper, to be cautious was indeed a little panicked, but it was not gouache, but the butler who suddenly appeared in front of her.
"Well...... "The housekeeper thought for a long time, "you go buy it now, if the young lady asks, she will say that I have delayed you by pointing you to other places, so I believe the young lady will not blame." ”
The housekeeper helped Cui'er lie, and at the same time, he was also helping Lin Dacheng, and more so that he could get out of the way.
"Thank you butler for that." Cui'er nodded gratefully.
After Cui'er left, Liu'er jumped out behind him, and he didn't really understand the housekeeper's approach.
"That Cui'er just now is obviously ......," Liu'er told the truth.
"What's the matter, are you stupid if he's stupid? If we hadn't found out in time, I'm afraid we would all be in trouble right now. You show me this Lin Dacheng in the future, don't let him do bad things. ”
The housekeeper slapped Liu'er's head hard, hoping to wake him up and see the current situation. But this kind of thing is cloudy and foggy for Liu.
Fighting with others, Liu'er is far inferior to a housekeeper.
"Got it, uncle." Liu'er hugged his head and pouted.
"Fortunately, we found out, otherwise we would have lost all our efforts. This Lin Dacheng is really not enough to succeed, and there are more than failures. If it weren't for the fact that the Lin family still had a little use value, they would have kicked him away a long time ago. ”
The housekeeper's complaining anger swelled up, and he smashed the rockery next to him, and Liu'er could feel the ground shaking next to him.
Cui'er followed Lin Dacheng to nothing, and was touched by the housekeeper, she was very ashamed, and almost exposed her intentions.
"Miss, I'm sorry, I was accidentally bumped into by the housekeeper." Cui'er bowed her head guiltily and apologized.
"It's okay, it's not something you can control, as long as you're okay." Nalan left to comfort Cui'er.
"I'm really unlucky, every time I follow Lin Dacheng, I am found by the housekeeper." Cui'er tapped her head, reminding her of her carelessness.
Nalan Jin looked at Cui'er in surprise, and a sense of foreboding sprouted in her heart.
"You mean, the butler shows up every time?" Nalan Jin confirmed again.
"It's... Yes. Cui'er was a little in a trance when asked.
"That's right, that's right, there must be a connection between them."
Nalan Jin kept muttering these words in his mouth, and then turned around and slowly left, as if he had discovered the truth of the matter.
Lin Dacheng has no financial resources. But she has the money to go out to the gambling house, and the amount is not small each time, she always feels that this matter is not as simple as it seems.
Every time the housekeeper went to the workshop in the name of delivery, he actually took the shop's clothes out in the goods, and then let the Lin family quietly transfer them out and deposit them in his private bank.
It was in this process that the Lin family was compensated accordingly. Only then did Lin Dacheng continue to squander.
Nalan Jin's investigation has been fruitless for a long time, so he wants to continue to find a breakthrough from Lin's body.
When I came to Lin's courtyard, I heard an amazing secret.
"Jin'er has been running to me lately, he must have found something, right?" Lin asked worriedly.
"Probably not, I'm careful every time, if he had evidence, he would have confronted you in person. He just came to care about you, don't scare yourself on all sides. ”
The housekeeper preferred to believe that Nalan Jin hadn't discovered anything, and was constantly using his self-paralyzing consciousness to cleanse Lin's mind.
"You didn't bring it up when you embezzled the store's funds, if something happens, you don't want to get out, you have to take Dacheng with you." Lin Shi directly said ruthlessly.
"You can rest assured, no one will find out about the store's funds." The housekeeper is sure to return.
Hearing the housekeeper say this, Lin's heart that had been hanging finally let go.
Nalan Jin never thought of day and night defense, and it was difficult to prevent thieves. It turned out that the link between Lin Dacheng and the housekeeper was the Lin family.
There were too many mysteries in this, so Nalan Jin asked Cui'er to inquire about what they were talking about.
Cui'er inquired more and found that they often quarreled over financial problems. In the end, they all broke up for a common purpose.
But even so, Nalan Jin still couldn't find a clue.
"Miss, that's all I heard about, I don't know if it's useful." Cui'er bowed her head in shame.
"You've done a good job, go back and rest, don't tell anyone about this matter until there is conclusive evidence." Nalan Jin is also just in case, afraid of startling the snake.
"Hmm."
Cui'er nodded and went back into the house.
In the past few days, I have been busy helping Nalan Jin supervise Lin Dacheng and the housekeeper, running around inside and out, and I was also very tired and paralyzed, and I fell asleep not long after returning to the house.
Nalan Jin closed her eyes and thought, knocking on her head. A series of numbers flashed through his mind.
The store's funds slipped away, and even if it was done seamlessly, there must be flaws in the books.
So Nalan Jin didn't relax for a moment, and rushed to the workshop non-stop, and immediately took out my previous account book and rummaged through it again.
"Miss, is something wrong with you being so anxious?" The owner of the workshop saw Nalan Jin's anxiety.
"Who has touched the ledger in the last month?" Nalan Jin flipped through the pages page by page.
"I'm doing it." The boss was puzzled.
"And you did the accounting here?" Nalan Jin asked, pointing to a font with very different handwriting.
The boss was a little dazed, picked up the account book and studied it carefully for a long time, "All the accounts after here are made by the housekeeper, and I didn't interfere again." I still remember that it should have been more than half a month. ”
The boss pinched his gray beard and thought, and pointed to the ledger for certainty.
"You haven't checked again?" The more Nalan Jin looked at it, the more angry she became.
"No, I thought that the housekeeper was from Nalan Mansion. Naturally, we were more careful than we did, so we didn't check again. "The boss looks loyal and honest.
Nalan Jin angrily threw the ledger to the side, and the frightened boss almost ripped off his beard. He glanced at Nalan Jin for some reason, and then called the ledger.
"This ...... What the hell happened to Miss, so angry? The boss was puzzled.
Nalan Jin pointed to the most obvious bad debts in the account book for the boss to see, and asked the boss to count some inconsistent details.
"How do you deal with the accounts that don't match in the end, why don't you go through the daily accounts in person?" Nalan Jin asked angrily.
"This ...... The housekeeper ...... "The boss was also innocent and hurriedly explained."
"Am I paying you or is it the housekeeper, what are you doing here? These problematic accounts are not available in a timely manner. In the end, it can only be a bad debt, and there is no way to find it! ”
Nalan Jin has special respect for the boss on weekdays, and he feels that it is not easy for him to get old. This is the first time that he has been so angry.
"I really don't know." The housekeeper was questioned by Nalan Jin, and he also stared in fright.
