Chapter 540: Intensifying
Ming Yan was afraid that he would not search carefully, so he called a few guards who came back with him to search.
Gu Chengyu casually picked up a booklet in the small baggage, which should have recorded the shopkeeper Xing's own account book.
Turning the first page, Gu Chengyu carefully looked at the details in front of him.
After looking at it slowly, he found that every time the shopkeeper Xing embezzled money from the account, he would make a record here, which must be to match the official account.
Gu Chengyu sneered, this is really stupid, he didn't destroy the booklet, is this to think that he won't come to Jingyuan Mansion?
When Gu Chengyu flipped through the booklet, neither Ding and Shopkeeper Xing dared to make a sound, and even Shopkeeper Xing didn't even dare to hum out in pain.
He figured it out now, and it was a piece of cake for the owner to kill him. If a subordinate dies, he will die, and it is impossible for the government to pursue it.
Besides, the owner of his family heard that it was not small, and judging from the entourage shouting the owner just now, the owner must be an official of the court.
Maybe the government is too late to stammer, how can it go to the owner's trouble? What's more, it is impossible for the government to know about the disposal of subordinates like him.
He really regrets not being at the beginning, and he is also blinded by lard, how can this silver be so easy to take?
Gu Chengyu threw the booklet in his hand in front of Xing Yang, startling Xing Yang, and hurriedly asked for mercy. This time he really begged for mercy, and he didn't dare to play tricks again.
"The owner spares his life, the villain doesn't dare anymore, and asks the owner to give the villain another chance......"
"Is all your money here? This is not the same as your account book, and where did the more than a thousand taels of silver go? Do you know that you dismissed the remaining steward of the account? ”
Gu Chengyu interrupted Xing Yang's plea for mercy and asked Xing Yang.
In fact, he didn't care about Xing Yang being greedy for such a little silver, but he was very eager to know if Yu Paralytic knew about it.
Yu Paralytic has been working with him since he was five years old, and the previous stalls were all set up by Yu Paralytic. He just gave out the money and moved his mouth.
After so many years, it is definitely impossible to say that there is no love between the two. He also had some trust in Yu Paralytic before, otherwise he wouldn't have told him about the poison.
In the past few years, Yu Paralytic has been busy with everything he wants, and he has done his best to give him orders, and he is unwilling to think about the consequences of Yu Paralysis's betrayal of him.
He didn't really care about the silver, he had a lot of silver, so much that he couldn't spend it.
The monthly money for Yu Paralysis has already risen, and he gives him a very generous red envelope for the New Year's Festival every year.
He saw the efforts of the paralyzed man, and naturally he would not treat the paralytic man badly.
But how much he gave was his own will, and Yu Paralytic reached out to take it from the public account, even if it was only one or two, it was a violation of the rules.
Gu Chengyu made up his mind, no matter how many years Yu Paralytic had been with him, how much love there was between the two. If Yu Paralytic really stretched out his hand, then he would never show mercy.
But if it was just a dereliction of duty, he could understand it. After all, there are many restaurants, and Yu Paralyz's recent energy has been focused on the restaurants that have just opened in other state capitals, and he can forgive him for not taking care of Jingyuan Mansion.
What's more, Xing Yang's hand towards the account book was not too long, it should be about half a month.
Gu Chengyu thought about it, Yu Paralyzed's authority was still too great.
Besides, a person doesn't have three heads and six arms, if you want to take care of both, it must be a lack of skills. He had to find someone to divide the authority of the remnant of the paralytic so that he could rest easy.
Xing Yang saw Gu Chengyu asking, so he replied with trembling lips: "The silver is here, and the difference of more than 1,000 taels of silver is all spent on the younger brother of the Yang family." He often had no money, so he begged the villain. The villain was also forced to be anxious, so he stretched out his hand to the account. ”
Gu Chengyu squinted, carefully observed Xing Yang's expression, and saw that the other party really didn't seem to be lying, and he had a plan in his heart.
"How dare the villain talk to Steward Yu about this?"
Xing Yang didn't think about it that much, his brain was throbbing at the moment. Whatever the owner asks, he will reply, and he can't think about it at all.
"When was the last time Steward Yu returned to Jingyuan Mansion? Are you there? Gu Chengyu turned to look at Ding's account room, although Xing Yang had no need to lie, because he was already unable to protect himself.
But Gu Chengyu still couldn't rest assured, because it was possible that Yu Paralyzed had already noticed this, but he pretended not to see it and didn't have time to stretch out his hand.
Pulling through the account book recorded by Xing Yang and flipping through it, Gu Chengyu found that according to Xing Yang's account book, he had been greedy for at least two thousand taels of silver in just over half a month.
In the first ten days, I only dared to do a little bit about the accounting, and in the past two days, I have reached out to the expenditure.
Xing Yang's speed is not fast, he has just done his tricks, and he is closing the account. It's just that it may not be the end of the month, and although the account book is flat, it is still a little rough and cannot withstand scrutiny.
Gu Chengyu's calculation ability is amazing, as long as he reads the calculations carefully, he knows where the problem is.
The appetite is getting bigger and bigger, and in just a few days, there are many more hands and feet moving in the back than before. When you taste the sweetness, you will naturally not stop, but will only get worse.
It's only been more than half a month, and he has made a profit of more than 2,000 taels from it, and such a huge benefit has made Xing Yang fall deeper and deeper.
However, Xing Yang definitely didn't dare to score too much. After all, the profit after that is much less than before will arouse his suspicions.
"Back to the owner's house, Steward Yu only stayed for two days when he came last time, and then he left in a hurry, about seventeen or eighteen days, right? At that time, the villain and the account room were all there, just like before. It was only two days after Steward Yu left that Shopkeeper Xing drove Steward Xu away. ”
Ding Shufang was secretly frightened in his heart, and he guessed the intentions of the owner in his heart.
Is this a suspicion of the remaining stewards? I heard that Steward Yu has been with the owner for many years, and it is Steward Yu who walks outside for the owner.
It was only in the past few years that Gu Wanqian, the nephew of the owner, was added, but he didn't care about the restaurant.
Gu Chengyu nodded, but he was thinking about it in his heart.
Coming down to inspect the restaurant is irregular, and it is impossible for Xing Yang to know when Yu Paralyzed will arrive at Jingyuan Mansion.
After Yu Paralytic left Jingyuan Mansion, Xing Yang stretched out his hand to the tent of the restaurant, is this a coincidence, or is this simply the instruction of Yu Paralytic?
However, it is also possible that Xing Yang saw that Yu was paralyzed and did not expect to come back, so he was relieved to start a fake account.
It seems that it is necessary to arrange for pickets to be sent down to the various state capitals to check the account books as soon as possible.
When the previous account books were delivered to him, he had carefully checked them, and there were no major discrepancies in the annual receipts, and some small fluctuations were purely normal.
Even if there is a phenomenon of filling one's own pockets in the middle, it is impossible to be as excessive as Xing Yang's here.
When the water is clear, there are no fish, and some small profits are obtained from it, and Gu Chengyu is not intolerable. But Xing Yang really went too far, and he took more than 2,000 taels in just over half a month.
