Chapter 437: How to eat it and how to spit it out
Those shopkeepers and stewards never thought that the county lord would come to check the accounts, three or four years the county lord never asked about the store, those sent to the accounts of the county lord did not even look at it, the silver handed over every year is getting less and less, they found that the county lord still ignored it, and the courage became bigger and bigger, and they simply stopped handing it over, all of them were given to that person, and there were many benefits deducted by themselves, and they simply did not even pay the account book, but today the county lord with a little girl and a group of guards suddenly arrived, without saying a word, directly sealed the account, It really made him tremble, and he wanted to go out to deliver a letter and ask for help, but the store was surrounded by water and couldn't get out, and not a single fly could fly out.
The county lord sat in the main hall, the little girl took a young man with an abacus, checked the accounts on the spot, the crackling abacus sound was like knocking on their hearts, there was a feeling of the end of the world, before I felt that the county lord did not move to look at the accounts, even if it was to check, it may not be able to find anything, look at the current posture, the county lord is prepared, the little girl and the young offspring according to the plan, but they are all powerful people, a good hand at checking the accounts.
Cold sweat flowed down their backs, and they knew very well in their hearts how much money they had earned over the years, how much they had withheld, how much they had given to that person, when they did this, they thought that the prince and the princess could support themselves even if they were discovered, it would not be a big deal, and now it seems that it is not impossible for the county to kill himself on the spot.
All day long, the shopkeepers sat below, the county lord sat on it, did not eat or drink and waited for the accounts to be settled, this point and a kick for the following shopkeepers and stewards are difficult, such as sitting on pins and needles, several times I wanted to speak to the maid behind the county lord and stopped, the sky was completely dark, Xiao Man and Ding Li finished accounting and wrote down a number, Xiao Man stood up and came to the county lord to show her, but whispered, the following people stretched their necks and ears to hear a few words.
Lord Shirley nodded, and then asked all the shopkeepers to be taken to the side room, and the door was closed, but strangely the county lord was not sending anyone.
Shirley never took the store to heart, how much silver she earned, how much silver she lost, how much assets she had, he never cared about it, she never lacked silver, and she couldn't spend all the money her mother left her, but Xiaoman told her that the most profitable shops left by her mother were all controlled by his mother and the Xiao slut, and she couldn't stand it, and she could never give all the silver to the beggar, and her mother died because of her, Shirley said to Xiaoman that she would take every penny back, She vomited as much as she ate.
Xiao Man and Lord Shirley ordered someone to dig a few small holes in the wall of the room early, and Xiao Man made two earpieces similar to telephones with thick brown paper, holding the small holes leaning against the wall, and the voice of the voice inside could be heard clearly.
"What should we do, the shopkeeper, will the county lord kill us when you are the shopkeeper?"
"Yes, the shopkeeper has been greedy for so much silver for so many years, what can we do? Why didn't the prince and the side concubine Niangniang reveal any news in advance, and let us be prepared. ”
"Yes, it's too late to falsify the account."
"I tell you don't even think about pointing at the prince and that Concubine Xiao to save him, he won't care about our life or death, I didn't agree with you to do this at the beginning, you didn't listen to persuasion, now that it's okay, I'm afraid we're going to be in a big disaster."
"What should you do with the shopkeeper?"
"Hey...... You are all ready to die. ”
After a while, there were low cries from several people inside, "What should I do, I have an old mother and a wife and children above me." ”
Xiao Man felt that it was almost over, and ordered someone to open the room, "The county lord is kind to assist your mother for many years, there is no merit and hard work, the county lord is extraordinarily kind, as long as you hand over these accounts with the prince and the princess on the side, write a confession and sign it, the silver that is greedy for ink can be made up, and the county lord will no longer pursue the adventure, but if someone dares to conceal it, it will not only be a capital crime, but your family will also be implicated, and I am reminding you, Now is your only chance to save yourself, some people have the right but he can't beat the emperor, the county lord is the emperor's favorite, everyone is ready to write and drink ink, write a little faster and rush home at night to sleep well, I won't bother you when I leave. ”
The next day, in Shirley's private house, a full carriage went in and out, and the whole box of silver was placed in front of the Shirley County Lord, and the box was full of silver, although the Shirley County Lord was used to seeing gold and silver treasures, but at once so much gold and silver were placed in front of him, and it was really a little dizzy to look at.
Xiaoman told Shirley that this is only a small part, most of them were taken away by the father and the side princess, Shirley suddenly felt that she was like a fool playing between applause for so many years, all the things left by her mother were ruined by her, she couldn't even keep it, she cheapened that slut for nothing, killed her mother and spent it with peace of mind, her mother left her inheritance, every time her father would come to cry poor in front of her, she sold what her mother left to you again and again, and gave a lot to the house, In the past, the nurse said that her father would not allow him to marry before he cheated her of all the property in her hands, and she still didn't believe it, and she really thought that her father felt guilty and didn't want to marry him so early, but look at the people in the capital who dared to marry themselves, was brutal and willful, cruel, disobedient to his parents, and bullied the younger brothers and sisters in the family.
Only herself, every time those maids and servants who have made mistakes are disposed of by that Concubine Xiao, every time she will preemptively say that the county lord and these people will be handed over to me to deal with, don't worry, I can't help but say, those people will be taken away by Concubine Xiao, every time they are tortured to death, in the palace, those people will always see that this is the end of offending the county lord, those people will think that the teenage girl is so vicious, but the maid accidentally dropped the cup or pulled her head, Soiled her clothes, gradually everyone was afraid of her, and when they saw her, they hid away, and she was really a very undesirable person at home.
