Chapter Seventy-Nine: Forced to Take the Blame
Shen Jinxuan didn't pay attention to business matters, and when he heard this, he couldn't start, so he didn't know how to solve it.
However, Zhang's suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "Liu's there!" ”
Liu's ...... Who doesn't know that Liu's dowry is rich, and a few years ago, the Prime Minister's Mansion was in an emergency, and every time she took the silver out to subsidize it. Even now, her aunt's food and clothing are much higher than theirs!
Shen Jinxuan pondered, as if he had thought of some conspiracy, and the corners of his mouth slowly rose: "Mother is right, this loophole is caused by the Liu family." ”
Zhang was a little stunned for a moment, but he also reacted quickly, and said with some worry: "It's just that it's difficult to find a reason." ”
"Mother, have you forgotten that you were in charge of her house some time ago? Now it's time for her to know that it's not that easy to be in charge. Shen Jinxuan's fingers slid over the places that were circled by ink, "But first we have to go to those who are in charge and ask what is going on with this big loophole that suddenly appeared." ”
Liu Shi raised his forehead: "I have already asked, the people in charge of procurement don't know if they said it was good, they disappeared collectively, and after investigation, they were all alone." ”
Shen Jinxuan had an ominous premonition in his heart, and closed the account book with a little irritability: "My sister's marriage is approaching, and this matter must be solved quickly. ”
With his son's affirmation, the Zhang family gradually calmed down, and this kind of thing must be the first to start!
Shen Jinxuan got up and said, "I'll arrange it for the shopkeeper, and my grandmother will hand it over to my mother." ”
Zhang's jaw was headed, looking at his son's back with confidence. Her daughter is the concubine of the Shen Mansion, and if anything goes wrong, it will lose the face of the entire Prime Minister's Mansion, and the old lady will never let this happen! The hole in this silver is bound to be filled by that slut of the Liu family!
The house is still busy, but the hosts have their own ghosts.
Because this matter was not decent, Zhang and the old lady decided to attack at night. Since she didn't eat at the same table with the old lady, Liu's daily meal was either her going to Shen Yinqiu's yard or Shen Yinqiu going to her yard, and the two mothers and daughters had a harmonious atmosphere and ate well.
The two were discussing the future situation, and they were called by the old lady beside the old lady, and generally nothing good happened to this kind of summons.
Liu smiled mysteriously, and whispered to Shen Yinqiu: "Look, the Zhang family is in a hurry." Hehe, if you dare to design you, you should think of today. ”
Shen Yinqiu's heart suddenly, seeing a faint smile on Liu's face, the same as the lukewarm demeanor towards her a few months ago, she swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said curiously: "Mother, what happened?" ”
At this moment, the old lady who led the way in front glanced back at them, and Shen Yinqiu didn't ask again. There were three maids side by side on their left and right sides to light up lanterns for them, and Liu patted her on the back as if to soothe her.
Shen Yinqiu was a little strange, and was even more curious about what would happen, knowing that Shen Jinqiu's marriage was approaching, the Zhang family should not provoke any trouble.
When they entered the old lady's courtyard and saw the four people sitting above with serious expressions, their eyes flashed.
Shen Yinqiu said in his heart, it seems that this matter is not small.
But this posture is really not the first time I have seen it, and I salute honestly, with a posture of sitting and waiting for them to fall.
Shen Yinqiu looked up at the old lady, Shen Linru, Zhang's, and Shen Jinxuan, it was rare that Shen Jinqiu was not here? And their eyes were almost all focused on her aunt!
Zhang quickly relieved her, and in front of the old lady and Shen Linru, she slapped a booklet with a dark blue cover on the tea table.
"Liu! You tell me honestly! What did you do in the past few days? Zhang's tone was stern, almost shouting, and the next second he became very disappointed: "I thought that although you were dissatisfied with me, you still cared about the Prime Minister's Mansion, but you actually did such a thing!" ”
Liu raised the corners of his mouth, glanced at Shen Linru without a trace, and said casually: "What's the matter?" ”
Zhang threw the booklet in front of them: "Look what you did!" At this time, it is still the attitude of this game world, Liu, you are really chilling. ”
Shen Yinqiu muttered in his heart, what and what is this Zhang talking about? It's dizzy, blindly blaming, and I don't know what to say, tsk.
The booklet thrown at her feet was the account book, but letting Liu squat down and pick it up inevitably felt inferior to them, or the maid beside her knew each other, silently picked up the account book, patted off the dust and handed it to Liu's hand.
Liu Shi opened it with his hands, and Shen Yinqiu, who was standing beside her, did not shy away from approaching to look at it together, the place where the pen and ink were circled was not small, and at the time of a cup of tea, Liu closed the account book, and raised the account book in his hand to the Zhang family and the others who had been staring at her: "The loophole in this account book is really big." ”
Zhang: "......"
Liu's eyes flickered, and he smiled after a moment: "You don't want to settle this account on me, do you?" ”
Shen Yinqiu was a little tired from standing, looked at her confident aunt, and chose to watch the play quietly. She had no idea what Zhang's purpose was for her to be there.
Zhang said: "If you hadn't taken over before, there was no reason to get rid of the previous loyal boss and replace it with someone with bad intentions, and we would have lost so much now?" ”
"Funny, you go and check on those people yourself, and see how many of them have clean hands and feet, all of them are taking silver taels to buy shoddy things to fool you. Besides, didn't you kick the two or three people I proposed before you kicked them out for long? Liu's face was calm, and he didn't carry it in the face of the pot that was thrown.
Zhang was speechless all of a sudden, that's right, after she went home, she casually found a reason to kick the steward who Liu had raised.
Shen Jinxuan secretly sighed that his mother was the wife, and he couldn't get the concubine room by means, and he couldn't talk about the concubine room with his mouth. It is not for nothing that the Liu family has been riding on their heads. In the past, when Shen Yinqiu was not there, the Liu family may still be in the mood to perform what a concubine should look like, come to his wife every day to ask for peace, ignore the affairs in the house, and live his own life. Now......
He said with a smile on his face: "If there is no evidence, Aunt Liu will not believe it, so please ask the three shopkeepers to come up and tell me what is going on." ”
Liu narrowed his eyes slightly when Shen Jinxuan spoke, and then raised a mocking smile: "The eldest young master said this, it seems that he has already mastered something, let them come in and listen to what they have to say." ”
Shen Jinxuan glanced at the little guy guarding the door, and the latter immediately knew how to call someone.
Not long after, three shopkeepers who were a little blessed came in from outside, and they saluted the old lady and Shen Linru and the others one by one.
Shen Jinxuan said: "Three shopkeepers, how do you explain the things in the account book?" ”
The three shopkeepers glanced at Liu vaguely, this is said to be obscure, and it is difficult to be found by being stared at like this, so this glance is still full of deep meaning, and people can't help but want to be crooked.
One of the three shopkeepers, Lu, who was about forty or fifty years old, knelt down and said, "None of this is about Aunt Liu's business, it is those white-eyed wolves who deliberately harm our shop!" They wasted Aunt Liu's trust in them! ”
Shen Yinqiu twitched the corners of his mouth, this is just turning black, not too stupid? Do you know that retreat is advance?
When one person speaks, there is a second person.
Another shopkeeper Lu said: "Old lady, don't listen to the shopkeeper Lu's nonsense, we were originally operating well, but last time, Aunt Liu couldn't help but order the people who did a good job to be opened, and a few people were stuffed in." At the beginning, those few people were quite diligent, so we didn't dare to say more, but we didn't want them to do this kind of thing collectively! ”
The last shopkeeper also followed: "That's right, the three of us who are shopkeepers are also responsible for this matter, and we admit the punishment!" But the fact that those few people in charge of procurement are too hateful! They colluded with their rival Lien Clan! Bought a lot of materials at a high price, once the materials are put into storage, the people who sell the materials will no longer pay attention to us, even if they sue the official master, it is not reasonable, and now those traitors are fighting in the Lian's restaurant opposite, really! If Aunt Liu hadn't stuffed people in, this wouldn't have happened. ”
Liu laughed wantonly, "Stuff people? Why don't you tell me how much money that man has given you, so that you can speak nonsense with your eyes open, and let you slander me with a clear conscience? ”
The three shopkeepers lowered their heads, and after a while, they said: "What the little one said is true, those traitors are indeed working in the industry under the name of the Lian family now, and I don't believe that the old lady will send someone to see it tomorrow to know the truth or falsehood." ”
"You've all kicked people out, and people don't have to make money to eat? As long as they work and have money, it doesn't matter if you are the Shen family or the Lian family. ”
Zhang snorted and said: "Liu, don't be clever and sharp-tongued, instead of you messing around here, it is better to think about how to remedy it, for the sake of your mistake, the old lady and the old man will not be guilty of mercy in the past." ”
Shen Yinqiu especially wanted to speak, but was signaled by her aunt's eyes, okay, let's watch how they unfold quietly.
The atmosphere in the room was a bit solemn, so quiet that only the sound of red candles could be heard. Liu, who gathered everyone's attention, still looked so calm and calm, and the light smile on the corner of his mouth slowly deepened, "What you want is nothing more than my silver, isn't it?" Do you want me to make up for the 200,000 taels? To be honest, I'm not without it, but I don't carry this pot. There is a huge contradiction in your words, first of all, I said that after you took back the power of the family, you have found an opportunity to kick the person I promoted, and if you don't object, you acquiesce. Secondly, those who deliberately purchased defective products to get kickbacks and escaped, it seems that they were all your previous people, right? ”
Zhang's eyes widened, his brown pupils filled with shock and disbelief, and finally resisted the urge to look away.
Liu sighed, "Originally, the Prime Minister's Mansion was short of money, and I was nervous when the eldest lady got married, and this happened, wouldn't it be ugly then?" But unfortunately, Yinqiu married after several eldest ladies, because of the name of the concubine, the pomp is naturally not as big as the eldest lady, so the dowry must not be sloppy, you also know how much my mother loves this girl. Therefore, you should find your own way with the silver that is lacking. ”
