Chapter 438: Accounts Deficit
Although Du Wei hadn't come to Hengfeng for a long time, as soon as she appeared, the shopkeepers and former guys in the store immediately recognized her, and they all stepped forward to greet her and salute.
"The eldest lady is here......"
"I've seen the eldest lady!"
"Say hello to the eldest lady."
In the eyes of these people, her identity will always be the eldest lady of Du Mansion, when she stood in front of Hengfeng Xing, stepped forward, and protected Hengfeng Xing several times, it has become a good story.
"Where's the big brother?" Du Wei asked.
"I'm still reconciling with Mr. Bookkeeper." A shopkeeper said.
"Trouble the shopkeeper to help me pass it on."
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say." The shopkeeper hurriedly trotted to the backyard.
After a while, the curtain of the door was raised, and a man in a blue robe walked out.
"Vier?"
Du Wei was stunned, she didn't expect her eldest brother Du Yifan to take it out in person, and hurriedly stepped forward and looked carefully.
Du Yifan had a warm smile on his face, "Why are you here?" But because I didn't have time to go back last night, I got angry with my eldest brother? ”
Du Wei smiled helplessly: "Big brother, are you a three-year-old child?" ”
Du Yifan's big hand habitually fell on top of her head, although she didn't answer, but Du Wei knew that she was afraid that in his heart, she would always be just a child.
Regardless of whether she is married to a wife or has changed her identity, he always loves herself as a little sister, for fear that she will be wronged a little.
Du Wei raised her head and looked at Du Yifan carefully, but seeing that there was a hidden tiredness in his warm eyes, she couldn't help but say, "Big brother, haven't you closed your eyes all night?" ”
"I was checking the accounts with Mr. Ledger last night, and it was a little late." Du Yifan said as he took her into the inner room.
"Is it to check the accounts of Hengfeng Xing?" Du Wei tried her best to make her tone sound very relaxed.
"It was your third brother who brought it back, the account over there in Fengzhou City." Du Yifan picked up the cup on the table and poured himself strong tea.
Du Wei couldn't help frowning, stepped forward and snatched the teacup down.
Du Yifan couldn't help but be stunned.
"How many accounts are still outstanding?" Du Wei asked.
Du Yifan was stunned, "What do you want to do?" ”
Du Wei couldn't say anything, pushed him and walked to the backyard, "I mean, I'll help the eldest brother keep an eye on the account gentleman first, and you go to the rest meeting first." ”
There are makeshift beds in the backyard for resting.
"It's only one night......" Du Yifan wanted to push her away, but Du Wei stubbornly refused to let go.
"Does my eldest brother look down on me? I have also seen the accounts of Hengfeng Bank before. ”
Du Yifan had no choice but to smile helplessly, and Du Wei forcibly pushed himself to the backyard.
"Lie down!" She commanded, "Don't get me up!" ”
Du Yifan looked at Du Wei, who was giving orders, and the glimmer in his eyes swept across the lake like a spring breeze, "Big brother listens to you." ”
Du Wei followed his example and reached out and touched his head, "That's good." ”
Du Yifan couldn't cry or laugh.
Du Wei turned around and left the backyard, and the second shopkeeper who had been waiting outside could see it clearly, Du Wei was smiling when she was by Du Yifan's side just now, but when she turned around, her little face was already full of frost.
She nodded and called him over, and the second shopkeeper only felt that his heart flickered, and secretly said that this eldest lady is really powerful, presumably she has noticed something, so she took the initiative to speak: "I don't know what the eldest lady commands?" ”
Du Wei said in a deep voice: "Did the third young master come last night?" ”
The second shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied: "It's been here." ”
Du Wei stared at the second shopkeeper, "Do you know why they had a quarrel yesterday?" ”
"This ......," the second shopkeeper was puzzled, "only the young man who kept vigil stayed in the store at night, and what happened to him was not clear." ”
"Who kept a vigil in the store last night and sent someone to look for him." Du Wei called the guards beside her, and the second shopkeeper sent a guy to lead the way, and he only went for half an hour and came back.
Du Wei called the guards to his side, "Have you inquired clearly?" ”
The guard nodded, "The man said that when the eldest young master checked the accounts last night, he found that there was a lot of shortfall on the shop account in Fengzhou City, so he asked the account master to come over to check, and then the third young master came over somehow, and the two talked in the house, and then they quarreled, and the third young master drank some wine at the time, so he pushed and shoved ......"
Du Wei sat on the Taishi chair, holding her chin with her hand, while listening to the guard's reply, she secretly wondered in her heart: The shop in Fengzhou City has always been run by the third young master, and the eldest brother has also said that the business there is sometimes a deficit because of its proximity to the border and the occasional war.
It is said that he already knew this, so how could he quarrel with the third young master over this matter?
Thinking of this, Du Wei stood up and said to the second shopkeeper: "Where is Mr. Ledger?" I'm going to see you again. ”
The second shopkeeper didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly went out, and soon three account gentlemen who were over fifty years old came in.
"This is the eldest lady of our house." The second shopkeeper nodded and said.
The three account gentlemen hurriedly saluted: "It turned out to be the eldest lady of the proprietor." ”
Du Wei was not polite to them, and said directly: "Have all the accounts of the shops in Fengzhou City been checked?" ”
The three bookkeepers nodded at the same time, but shook their heads again.
Du Wei was puzzled, "What do you mean by this?" ”
One of them explained: "The account has been clarified, but the eldest young master ordered to reconcile it with the inventory in the warehouse, so it will be ......returned for a while and a half."
"Did you find anything wrong?"
"At present, there are a lot of goods that are not right."
Don't...... The third young master's shop made a fake account?
The thought crossed her mind.
In her previous life, when she was a small white-collar worker, she was not less exposed to this thing, and there were often two accounts on the financial side, one real and one fake.
She couldn't help but think that the small branch of Youlan Pavilion in Fengzhou City had always had a good business, and there had never been a deficit at all, so the business caused by the various problems mentioned by Du Zhenghong seemed to be unfavorable at all.
"What does the eldest young master want to do with this matter?" If everything was really as she thought, then it would be very easy to understand that the third young master came over to have a quarrel with her eldest brother last night.
No matter who you are, when you find that your tricks are about to be debunked by others, you will inevitably have to be hysterical.
But she couldn't figure it out, why did the third young master do this, because he was the third young master of Du Mansion, was there still a lack of that bit of silver?
She stayed in Hengfeng until after noon, and the inventory of Fengzhou City in the warehouse was only half counted.
"There is a difference of 100,000 taels of silver before and after." The bookkeeper said.
Du Wei glared at her, this is only half of the investigation, if all of them are checked, I don't know how many shortages it will be.
"Give me a list of all the short ones!" She was really angry, she had always regarded Du Mansion as her home, and now she saw someone in her family hugging her money like a hamster, and she exploded all of a sudden.
