Chapter 160: Luring the Snake Out of the Hole
"Take out the recently built golden hairpin!" When she arrived at the shop, she immediately ordered her men to take out all the things.
When she examined it closely, she found that a lot of the jewelry had been tampered with.
The materials of those jewelry are not real money, but shoddy and flashy.
"Who makes all this jewelry?" Bai Linxia's face sank.
"The old king did it!" Their jewelry has always been made by the old king and several of his apprentices.
Bai Linxia will draw a new look every month and let them build it.
"Bring them here!" After Bai Linxia finished speaking, he immediately checked the account book and directly compensated the other party.
"This time I didn't manage the shop well, please forgive me!" Bai Linxia not only returned the silver that the other party bought jewelry to her, but also gave her a silver hairpin with exquisite patterns.
The silver hairpin was not tampered with, and after the other party saw what she did, he calmed down the anger in his heart.
However, she decided not to come to Linglong Pavilion to buy jewelry in the future, so as not to encounter the same problem.
After Bai Linxia checked the accounts, he took back all the jewelry he had sold in the past few days, and gave corresponding compensation.
After doing these things, she immediately interrogated the old Wang Tou, who made the jewelry, and several of his apprentices, and found that they were all right......
In this regard, Bai Linxia compensated them and personally apologized.
The old king didn't care, after all, such a big thing happened in the shop, and they didn't find out in time, which caused a lot of losses to the owner, and he blamed himself very much.
The next day, the news about Bai Linxia's shop buying fakes spread in Yangzhou City, which seriously affected her reputation.
"Didn't she keep saying that the jewelry she sells in her shop is all high-quality products, why did this happen?"
"I must have made too much money, and my heart is starting to darken!"
"She makes so much money every month, isn't it enough?"
"Who thinks a lot of silver!"
……
After Bai Linxia heard the rumors outside, his mood became worse and worse.
"Your shop has had accidents one after another, and it is clear that someone is deliberately targeting you!" The little marquis has been staying in Yangzhou and has not left.
After those things happened, Xiao Hou Ye quickly sensed that something was wrong.
The jewelry in her shop is shoddy, and not many people know about it, and the people who bought the jewelry have already been compensated and will not make a big deal about it.
After all, although this matter was an oversight in Bai Linxia's management, she had already made amends for it.
Those noble ladies are not long-tongued women, and they will not talk about things easily.
Xiao Hou Ye believes that this matter was deliberately arranged behind the scenes, with the purpose of making Bai Linxia infamous.
Once her reputation is ruined, no one will patronize her shop in the future......
"I've been secretly investigating, but I haven't found anyone who is secretly making trouble!" In fact, from the very beginning, Bai Linxia guessed that someone was dealing with him.
Although she had never encountered such a method before, she had heard of it.
"Looks like it's time for you to change the direction of your investigation!" A hint of coldness flashed in the eyes of the little marquis.
"I'll check all the people in the shop right away!" Bai Linxia's heart was full of coldness.
No matter who is behind the scenes, she will not let it go.
"I'll help you!" The little marquis took the initiative to ask for help.
Bai Linxia is busy dealing with the affairs of the shop, and there has been too much about her rights and wrongs recently.
If she investigates it herself, it is likely to arouse the vigilance of the mastermind behind the scenes.
As an outsider, Xiao Hou Ye is more convenient to act.
Bai Linxia immediately agreed, and said that when the truth came out, he would personally make a fresh dish for him to taste.
"We'll make up our minds!" I heard that it could be eaten, and the new dishes she researched made the little marquis's eyes light up.
For him, life is only about relatives and good food.
"After this matter is over, I must let you eat a satisfying meal!" Bai Linxia has been tired recently, and now the little marquis took the initiative to ask for help, but she did not refuse.
"Master, I'm going to investigate now!" He said and left.
He has a large number of people and a noble status, even the people in the government have to give him a few points.
Xie Xiaohou Ye directly found the place where they purchased the materials, and secretly sent someone to infiltrate to investigate.
The deeds of sale of those guys in the shop are all in Bai Linxia's hands, and generally speaking, they will not betray her.
What's more, even if they want to do it, they must be able to find a craftsman to build an identical hairpin in advance, which is obviously unlikely.
So, the little marquis set his sights on the materials that make jewelry.
He thinks that the materials are the best to use their hands, after all, some skilled craftsmen can make fake silver tickets, and naturally they can also replace the materials, and no one will notice it.
The people of the little marquis are all capable people, but in one day, the people who supply the materials have been checked.
There aren't any problems there, though.
He directly told Bai Linxia the results of his investigation.
"I've been working with them for so long, and there's never been a mistake with their materials!" In fact, Bai Linxia didn't suspect them at first.
However, she was worried that it was the person who sold the materials to herself, and there was a traitor around her.
Now it seems that all the problems still appear around her.
Bai Linxia intensified his investigation, and soon found that because he didn't care much about things in the shop recently, some people began to be lazy.
Shen Qianchen's departure affected her a lot, and she had no intention of doing anything at all, so she stayed at home every day, thinking about the days they used to be together.
She didn't expect that in just a few days, some people would start to disobey her.
At the beginning, when she arranged those people in the shop, she warned that she would not allow anyone to betray her.
As a result, because of their temporary negligence, they didn't take the shop's business seriously, and Bai Linxia was very angry in his heart.
"I suspect that the people in the shop did this!" Bai Linxia told the little marquis his conjecture.
"Did you find a clue?" The little marquis also saw the clues, but no evidence was found.
"Nope!" If she had clues, she would have arrested the suspect a long time ago.
There will never be outsiders in her shop.
"What are you going to do?" From her calm look, the little marquis could see that she already had an idea in her heart.
"I want to lure the snake out of the hole!" Since the other party is deliberately trying to ruin her reputation, Kendon will not stop there.
Now, Yangzhou City is full of rumors that are unfavorable to her, and the business in the shop has become very cold.
These Bai Linxia had already known in their hearts, so they didn't care.
She believes that when the truth is revealed, the guests will come back, after all, she has never forgotten the word integrity in her business......
"Do you need my cooperation?" Seeing that she had a way, a trace of excitement crossed in his eyes.
"Not for the time being, if there is a need, I will definitely talk to you!" After these things, she became friends with Xiao Hou Ye.
When she met someone who loved to eat, Bai Linxia couldn't hate it at all, even if he was noble, she just treated the other party as a friend.
When the little marquis got along with her, he felt relaxed and at ease, and the person of his identity has always been respectful to him, and even responds to requests, which makes him feel bored.
Bai Linxia will not only reject him, but also negotiate with him, such a woman, the little marquis really wants to make friends with her......
The next day, Bai Linxia gathered all the guys in the shop, as well as the shopkeeper and the account office.
"The jewelry in the shop was tampered with, I think you all know, now I have found the clues, if you take the initiative to stand up, I can take it lightly, otherwise I will report it directly!" Bai Linxia glanced at them urgently.
She kept watching them, hoping that someone would step up and take the consequences for what she had done.
It's a pity that she overestimated the other party, Bai Linxia waited for a while, but no one dared to stand up and confess.
They knew in their hearts that once things were known, their future prospects would be ruined.
"It seems that no one wants to admit it themselves, so don't blame me for not being emotional!" A trace of disappointment passed through Bai Linxia's eyes.
Bai Linxia has always admired those who dare to act.
This time, although she had already guessed the outcome, she still hoped that there would be exceptions.
"Boss, we have always been loyal to you, and we have never had two hearts!" The shopkeeper immediately made his attitude clear.
The others followed suit, but Bai Linxia saw the eyes of several of them, a little flickering.
Bai Linxia's heart soon had a plan.
"I'll trust you for the time being, but if I find out in the future, if one of you betrays me, I will make him regret it!" After saying that, Bai Linxia let them leave.
After that, Bai Linxia and Xiao Hou Ye kept sending people to keep an eye on them.
Bai Linxia felt that someone among them must have betrayed him, and there was more than one of them.
Stealing jewelry in the shop is not something that can be done by one person, and someone needs to cooperate.
That night, their men found that several of them were working in the shop, trying to pack up and run away.
Bai Linxia's words made them very uneasy.
They thought they were going to be out of the way to hide what they were doing, so they prepared to leave.
Anyway, they don't lack money in their hands, they can just start over in a different place, as for the wife and children at home, they didn't think about it at all.
Bai Linxia is an upright and kind person, they are the ones who do the wrong thing, and they will not harm his wife and children, and they will definitely not do anything to her family.
When they are ready to leave, find a suitable opportunity to come back and pick them up.
As everyone knows, their every move is under the surveillance of Bai Linxia and Little Hou Ye.
After sensing that they were about to run, Xiao Houye's people immediately notified them.
Bai Linxia immediately rushed over with him.
"These people are really ruthless, they only care about themselves, and they don't think about the safety of their families at all!" The little marquis's eyes were overflowing with contempt and disdain.
The little marquis, who has been favored by his family since he was a child, has a deep affection for his family.
Although he was often away from home, he would rush back as soon as he received a message from his family.
"Hmph, they can do things that betray their employers, and they have no bottom line in their hearts for a long time!" Bai Linxia's eyes were cold.
The hearts of these people are cold, what they care about is their own interests, and when their wives and children are gone, they can find a woman to regenerate.
After Bai Linxia experienced the partiality of the Bai family and those villagers who took revenge, he had long been downset in his heart.
Human nature is like this, and it is impossible for them to give up themselves and protect their wives and children.
Most of the men here are selfish and completely treat women as slaves.
However, she was lucky to meet a husband who kept her in his heart and loved her everywhere......
