Chapter 211: The Zhou Family's Deficit

They were still hesitant, and they didn't dare to decide what happened to Chen Zhengting about this case, and Du Qiya hurriedly went to Zhou's Tea House with people.

The owner of Zhou's tea house is called Zhou Yu, who is also in his early forties this year, and has a few acres of land in his family in the past, so he planted tea.

The one who married Chen Zhengting is his youngest daughter, and he has three sons and two daughters left, and now for the sake of the Chen family, the business is getting bigger and bigger, and it is becoming more and more prosperous, and it is no longer the timid Zhou Yu back then.

Originally, he didn't go to the counter today, but when Sun Chang went to Huzhou to collect new tea a while ago, he secretly had some business dealings with their family - he really didn't blame him for this, he opened the door to do business, and the family lived on this meal, no matter how the Chen family carried their business, it was impossible to send the silver to the Zhou family every month, but the Zhou family would send something back every month, but people were always greedy and insufficient, and the days of abundance passed for a long time, so they naturally wanted more silver, Live a more affluent life.

When Sun Chang was looking for Zhou Yu, he secretly sold a batch of tea to Sun Chang, but this account could not be cleared, five or six years ago, when the Chen family gave Zhou's tea house a large amount of business, Zhou Yu added Chen Zhengting's name to the inner account book in order to show that he was a person who knew how to repay his kindness, and at the end of each year, he wanted to give Chen Zhengting dividends, although Chen Zhengting didn't care about this bit of silver, he really couldn't see it in his eyes, but he couldn't stand his whim one day, and he wanted to see the account book- How can this account book be read by Chen Zhengting? Isn't that all exposed?

The old grudge between the Chen family and the Wei family, Zhou Yu is not a clear man, but he knows that the Sun family and the Wei family have such a relationship, and he wants to do business with the Chen family and Sun Chang behind his back, just for the sake of those silver, he offended Chen Zhengting, which is more than worth the loss.

Therefore, Zhou Yu specially ordered that day to make a secret account of this money.

If you have a dark account, you will always be unsightly, but everything that is unsightly is always easy to go wrong.

For example, today - in fact, this news was sent to Zhou's house in the second half of yesterday, saying that there was a deficit of nearly seven hundred taels of silver in the account, and the bookkeeper at the bottom had found out that it had been almost half a month, and the housekeeper of the reconciliation had been on the right for half a month, and he had not dared to tell Zhou Yu, thinking that he was afraid that there was a lack of memory, or an overabundance, and he did not have to toss around, after all, there had never been such a big mistake.

But half a month has passed, and the money is still not reconciled, it is really gone, and there is no young grandfather and grandmother in the family to withdraw it, Mr. Zheng, who is in charge of the accounts, and Mr. Huo, who is in charge of the accounts, are dumbfounded, and in desperation, they can only tell Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu is not saying that the heart is big, but this person has a stinky problem, as soon as he arrives in the second half of the day, he is lazy and tossed, unwilling to move, and he has finished everything during the day, and the things on the cabinet have been properly disposed of.

Yesterday, when Mr. Zheng Huo and Mr. Zheng Huo went to Zhou's house to tell him about this, he still looked calm, so he only said that he would come to the counter early this morning to take stock of the accounts, and ask the people on the counter one by one.

The two gentlemen naturally felt that it was inappropriate, or Zhou Yu said it himself, the horizontal and vertical had been delayed for half a month, and they didn't care about this night, the two gentlemen saw that it was useless to persuade him, so they could only leave Zhou's house in a sneer, and went straight to the counter early this morning, waiting for Zhou Yu to go to the shop to reconcile.

When Du Qiya brought people here, Zhoujia Tea House did not open the door, and the door panel on the shop was tightly fastened, but he could vaguely hear the movement of people talking and walking back and forth inside.

The little official at the bottom listened to the door panel with his ears pricked up for a long time, but he didn't go to the door panel to call the door, but just trotted over to Du Qiya's side, and bent his waist: "My lord, there are people talking inside." ”

It's weird.

Since the Zhou family has been backed by the Chen family, there are no people in Huzhou City who do not easily offend their family, and it is rare to close the door and close the business, anyway, what Du Qiya knows, although Zhou Yu is a little casual, but when it comes to opening the door to do business, he will not open the door on the New Year's Festival.

Du Qiya sank his face, raised his hand slightly, and muttered.

He didn't have to say much, the people under his hands naturally had eyes, and ran to the other end of the door in three or two steps, slamming the door.

Inside, Zhou Yu was angry, listening to the sound of slamming the door outside, and kicked the little guy on the side: "Go and send it away!" Where did the long-eyed things come from, if they were on the board, they would be out of business, and they would slam the door! ”

The little guy knew that he was holding back the anger in his belly, so he moved to the door even after a while, and raised his voice again: "Come back, a tea house is on the board today, please be early tomorrow." ”

The sound of slamming the door outside stopped, and the little guy was just about to turn around and go back to the hall, when he heard a dull voice coming in: "The prefect's yamen is here to handle the case, hurry up and open the door!" ”

The little guy was frightened and his feet were weak, but he didn't dare to open the door immediately, stumbled back to the hall, and called the owner with a sad face: "Outside, it is said that it is from the prefect's yamen...... said that the case was handled, and told us to open the door quickly. ”

This time Zhou Yu was really stunned.

Thinking that his daughter was favored in the Chen family, when his grandson did not grow up, he took away seven shops from the three sisters-in-law of the Chen family, in the past ten years, in fact, Chen Zhengting also looked up to their Zhou family, he almost sold the child to the Chen family, but Chen Zhengting regarded him as a serious old Taishan, and the people of the prefect's yamen would not know this layer, how could they come to his tea house to find trouble?

He twisted his eyebrows, although his heart was sleepy, he didn't dare to be very lazy, after all, no one who had enough to eat and pretended to be someone from the yamen and ran to his family's tea house to make trouble.

Although Zhou Yu was reluctant, he still asked someone to pack up the account books spread out first, and he took someone to the door, urging urgently: "Why don't you hurry up and open the door, call the master in the yamen to come in!" ”

The door panel opened, and the bright light from outside entered the room, and the golden light first sprinkled on the ground, sparkling and swaying.

Zhou Yu stood sideways, and was about to say a few words of greeting, but when he looked up, he saw Du Qiya's face that was really not kind.

"Lord Du......" He was taken aback, and then he brought out seven points of respect, and scolded the little guy and hurried to prepare tea, "Lord Du came to us early this morning, and he is so ...... to mobilize the people."

But he couldn't finish his polite words, Du Qiya raised his hand and stopped all his words: "I'm not here to catch up with Master Zhou, you have official business." As he spoke, he paced down the hall, and where his eyes swept away, there were still ledgers that he had not had time to put away.

Du Qiya turned his head to look at Zhou Yu: "Today, the board is closed, is this reconciliation?" ”

Zhou Yuzhen sighed, still accompanied by a smiling face: "I haven't reconciled the accounts for several months, so I picked them to ask them to give the accounts to ...... today."

However, Du Qiya still didn't ask him to finish his words: "Then it's even more coincidental, the province will trouble Master Zhou, ask someone to take out the account books, you just happen to be reconciled, and it will be convenient for us to check the accounts." ”

Zhou Yu was completely stunned.

Co-author Du Qiya came to the tea house today, and he didn't plan to leave him with any affection.

Interrupting him several times like this, whoever he is is going to be angry, it's just that Zhou Yu's background and status are here, and Su Ri just relies on the Chen family, so he doesn't dare to really take Qiao Tuo in front of Du Qiya.

At present, he listened to the meaning of Du Qiya's words, which was to check their family's accounts, although he dared to be angry and did not dare to speak, but he always had to say a few words for himself.

Zhou Yu straightened his waist: "Lord Du said this, I don't understand it very well, check the accounts?" What kind of accounts to check? He said and raised his finger, and the direction was the table with the account book, "These are all the accounts on my tea house, my Zhou family's own family accounts, I have not committed any crimes, and I have never been involved in any cases, although Lord Du is a dignified prefect, but he didn't say casually, he is going to check our family's accounts, right?" ”

Du Qiya raised his eyebrows: "Master Zhou is so tough." He sneered, squinted his eyes and swept over Zhou Yu, that posture clearly showed disdain, and he didn't take him in his eyes at all, "I brought someone to your tea house to check the accounts, and I listened to the orders of His Royal Highness King Qi." Master Zhou, the death of Uncle Chen, at this time, the nurse Zhang next to Aunt Zhou, I am afraid that she can't get rid of it, and she can't get rid of it, so how clean can Aunt Zhou be? ”

He paused as he spoke, then smacked his tongue and sighed: "The Zhang family can take out five hundred taels of silver back and forth to buy Wang Shi, where did this silver come from?" Master Zhou, don't say it's your Zhou's Tea House, it's the seven shops under the name of the fourth master of the Chen family, and none of them can run, they all have to be checked! ”

The shock in Zhou Yu's eyes couldn't deceive people, and he was really shocked by what Du Qiya said.

Homicide cases? Got involved with Zhang?

It's all about where and where!

Zhou Yu panicked for a while, and almost pulled Du Qiya when he got started, but in the end, he was also a person who had seen the world, so he stopped his hand in time: "Master Du, don't you dare to ...... this"

He wanted to say something like that, but he didn't dare to say such nonsense.

But he looked at the people outside the door, Du Qiya came to his tea house with such a posture, could this be nonsense?

Zhou Yu swallowed his saliva and made a gesture of invitation: "Can Master Du take a step to speak?" ”

If it was changed to the past, this face, for Chen Zhengting's sake, Du Qiya would also sell it to Zhou Yu, and in fact, on weekdays, the Zhou family did not lack his filial piety silver, but for people like Zhou Yu, he paid more attention, and the money received by others returned to the silver, but he never left any handle for them to take it.

Now Du Qiya has other thoughts in his heart, he just wants the case between the Sun family and the Chen family to be concluded as soon as possible, and Li Yan can leave Huzhou as soon as possible, and stop keeping his eyes on him.

He has never been a saint-minded man, and there is no reason why he would sacrifice his own good future in order to save these irrelevant people.

Just when Zhou Yu thought that he would let go, Du Qiya had a straight face and rejected Zhou Yu seriously: "If Master Zhou has anything to say, you might as well just stand here and say it, if you don't have anything else to say, the people under my hands will be on business." ”

"Lord Du-" Zhou Yu saw him raise his hand, and he was inexplicably frightened.

He can be regarded as having figured out Du Qiya's pulse today, and he is soft and hard, so he must check the accounts.

But the problem is that Zheng Huo and the others just went back and forth to him yesterday, and there was indeed a deficit of seven hundred taels of silver in the account, but none of them knew where the money went, and he himself had never withdrawn and embezzled it.

Today, Du Qiya came to say that the Zhang family had given Wang Shishi five hundred taels of silver to buy this person and harm Chen Yuqing's life.

How dare he ask Du Qiya to investigate like this......

"Master Du, at this time, I don't dare to hide it from you, I'll tell you the truth......" Zhou Yu was really panicked at this time, he couldn't afford this crime, Chen Zhengting wanted to deduct this charge on the head of their Zhou family, and they would be ruined!

He swallowed and vomited, barely supported, pursed his lips, and said the words to Du Qiya: "I came to check the accounts today, because after Mr. Counter reconciled, he found a deficit of seven hundred taels, and I didn't even know the first half a month, Mr. Accounts Manager and Mr. Reconciliation checked for half a month, and I really had no clue, so I came back and forth to me, I didn't come to the counter early in the morning, and the board was closed, so I had to check the whereabouts of the silver." At this moment, you suddenly ran and said, Zhang's she gave Wang Shishi five hundred taels to buy a murderer-"

Zhou Yu's shoulders shrank for a while: "My lord, you found out that the deficit of seven hundred taels, isn't this charge confirmed us?" ”

Du Qiya's face did not change, his eyes rolled, and other thoughts flashed in his mind, but he just calmed down: "Seven hundred taels of deficit?" Master Zhou's business is big, and his heart is also very big? There is a deficit of 700 taels, and there is no need to report to the official, so he closes the door and checks by himself, and he is a thief together, Master Zhou is also a saint temper, and he doesn't plan to make trouble on the scene? ”

It's really shooting yourself in the foot, and I can't tell why.

Zhou Yu really didn't dare to tell Du Qiya, this silver, most of it was when he was doing business with Sun Chang, he asked that guy to be greedy for black-hearted thieves, anyway, he was going to take a dark account at the beginning, it was not easy to find out in the open, and it was not easy to arrest him in secret, so he naturally had no fear to do such a thing.

But between Du Qiya and Chen Zhengting......

Zhou Yu was still hesitating, and Du Qiya sank his tone: "Huh? ”

He immediately struck a shock: "This silver was obtained from doing business with Sun Chang at the beginning, and I ...... I asked someone to leave the secret account, and I didn't dare to tell the Chen family about it. Master Du, I'm really innocent!
