Zhu Huazhang tightened his brows and stared at Sun Da's shopkeeper for a moment, looking at him directly, his face was pale, cold sweat was dripping, his eyes were dodging and he didn't dare to look at him, so he believed Zhu Youning's words.

"Someone." Zhu Huating suddenly got up and commanded.

Immediately outside his retinue and men from the cloth factory came in response.

Zhu Huazhang instructed Chang Sui beside him, "You take two people and immediately go to the account book for the sale of cloth to the money village and make peace with us." In addition, when I went to the Bai family, I asked how much they had purchased during this time. After asking clearly, come to Zhu's money village. ”

"Yes!"

Chang casually gave up, and ordered a few people to stride away.

Zhu Huazhang smiled and rubbed his hands, his hand wearing a jade ring looked thin and dry, and he looked a little old against the backdrop of his gorgeous clothes.

"Shopkeeper Sun, you don't have to worry. You are the old shopkeeper of the Zhu family. Nothing has gone wrong in all these years, and I believe in your innocence. Today, it happens that all the shopkeepers are here, so let's go to the money house together and count the money in your cloth sales department first. As long as the silver is not bad, isn't it done? ”

As he spoke, Zhu Huazhang smiled kindly and grabbed the thin hand of the shopkeeper Sun Da, ignored his iron-blue face and the sweat of his palms, and went out together.

The rest of the shopkeepers also put on their cloaks and followed.

Zhu Youning grabbed another handful of melon seeds and put them in his pocket, and then while peeling the melon seeds, he slowly followed the group of people to Qianzhuang.

In the money village, Xu Da shopkeeper was smoking a bag of cigarettes behind the counter, and when he heard footsteps, he naturally greeted him, who knew that as soon as he looked up, he saw a group of people coming in a mighty way.

These people are all the shopkeepers of various departments of the cloth factory, and they are the backbone of the cloth factory, and there is even the second master Zhu Huazhang at the head!

The shopkeeper Xu hurriedly put down his cigarette pouch and came out to salute.

Zhu Huazhang smiled and explained his intentions.

"Ask for silver, huh? Easy, I'll lead you there at once. ”

The shopkeeper Xu Da did not dare to slack off, and personally led the group into the warehouse.

There are special men to manage here, and there are several guards with strong martial arts, who look very solemn.

The shopkeeper Xu took off the huge key ring from his waist, flipped through the account book with the other hand, and then found the silver deposited by the shopkeeper Sun Da in the row of cabinets, and instructed the guys to carry the box down.

Zhu Huazhang looked back at everyone with a smile and said, "The money is here, just count it once, and it will be clear." ”

"No!" The shopkeeper shook his body and shook his head: "This is a trap, a trap!" Second master, how smart you are, how can you fall into the way of a little girl! Don't forget, the money bank is her main property, and she may have colluded with the people in the money bank to steal the silver in the box to frame the old man! ”

When Zhu Huazhang heard this, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Zhu Youning, who was at the end of the crowd.

I saw that the old god Zhu Youning was there, and took out a handful of melon seeds from the Ming pocket inlaid with white rabbit fur on the outside of the cloak and handed them to the maid beside him: "Help me peel the melon seeds." ”

Then he walked into the door with a smile, looked at Sun Da's shopkeeper with disdain, and said:

"When you see that the situation is not good, you mess around? Do you still want to blame the shopkeeper of the money bank and the work to drag them into the water? Shopkeeper Sun, you are also a lot older. It's just a late night, why don't you want to have a face? You can go back to the prison and ignore the outside, and you still have two sons to gain a foothold in Fuyang! Do you want them to even hold their heads up? ”

The shopkeeper of Sun Da was shocked when he heard this, his face turned from iron blue to gray, and cold sweat flowed down his head.

The shopkeeper Xu Da on the side also understood the general situation, and said indignantly: "Second master, everyone! Although I am not talented, I have been working hard in Qianzhuang for five or six years. I have never made a mistake in remembering an account, I have never given a wrong sum of money, I will never do such a thing! Besides, Miss Dong has no chance to contact the treasury inside, and this is not her jurisdiction on weekdays, so don't believe slander! ”

The words of the shopkeeper Sun Da made the balance in everyone's hearts tilt back to Zhu Youning's side.

Zhu Youning said with a smile: "Fortunately, we have three preparations, account books, cash silver, and the purchase account books of the Bai family." If you report to the government yamen, you can even carefully search the whereabouts of the silver taels, or you can also check the actual amount of goods purchased by those families who deliberately recorded too much in the accounts. ”

Speaking of this, Zhu Youning paced to Sun Da's shopkeeper and sneered: "There is a lot of evidence, and you can't quibble." ”

The shopkeeper Sun stared at Zhu Youning with red eyes, as if he wanted to burn her through a hole.

Zhu Huazhang didn't bother to listen to their arguments, and immediately ordered someone to open the box and start counting the money in public.

At this time, Zhu Huazhang's entourage also hurried back and handed over the two account books. One is the weekday sales account book of the cloth factory, and the other is the purchase account book borrowed from the Bai family.

When Zhu Huazhang finished counting, he took the two account books and looked through them again, and finally threw the account books back to the little guy behind him with a sneer.

Then he walked to the shopkeeper Sun Da step by step: "The shopkeeper Sunda." It's not like I'm not going to help you with this. I, the proprietor, trust you as the shopkeeper, but how do you repay our Zhu family? Is the Zhu family's monthly silver less? Or are you in arrears of your monthly money? Why are you like that? ”

Zhu Huazhang's words seemed to turn into a slap and slapped Sun Da's shopkeeper's face.

The sweat of the shopkeeper condensed on his chin and dripped down his beard.

He thought back to what had happened before and after, and suddenly he understood something.

He stared at Zhu Youning with his eyes and accused loudly: "You! You're obviously deliberately pretending not to understand! You are so young, you have such a vicious heart! ”

"If the shopkeeper Sun is right-minded, how can he be caught by me in the wrong place? Second uncle. Zhu Youning asked Zhu Huazhang again: "The shopkeeper Sun is greedy for more than 1,000 taels of silver from our family, should he send people to the government?" ”

"You!" The shopkeeper of Sun Da could never have imagined that Zhu Youning would be so vicious at such a young age.

He turned to his knees begging, and kowtowed again and again: "Second master, you raise your noble hand, you save me!" I'm willing to compensate for the missing silver! It's not good to open up about this, or I'll ......."

Zhu Youning waved his hand to interrupt Sun Da's shopkeeper's words: "I knew today, why bother in the first place?" Today, if you are one, the shopkeepers of the Zhu family will have the mind of luck in the future, thinking that our Zhu family will definitely let go of those corrupt shopkeepers with a soft face, so can the Zhu family's business be done? ”

Zhu Youning looked up at Zhu Huazhang: "Second uncle, please make a decision on this matter." ”

When Zhu Huazhang heard this, he first looked at Zhu Youning gloomily, and then glared at Sun Da's shopkeeper with hatred: "This will be handed over to the government!" While the yamen has not yet sealed the big seal, let's talk about this one thing after it is done! ”

"No, no, second master, can you, I'm ...... for you"

"Shut him up and take him away!"
