Chapter One Hundred and Five: New Year's Eve
After Liang Qian moved to the county lord's mansion, his life was no different from before. Get up every morning to chat with Princess Li, manage the affairs of the county lord's mansion and the Li prince's mansion, and then wait for Li Yu to come back.
The period when the New Year is approaching is always extremely busy, and Liang Qian is responsible for mobilizing the procurement matters in the Li Wangfu and the County Lord's Mansion for the New Year.
In addition, there are many New Year's gifts to be given to many officials during the Chinese New Year, and there are indeed a lot of various things to buy. Every time at this time, Liang Qian felt a headache.
"How can this account be?" Liang Qian, as always, checked the account books of King Li's Mansion and the County Lord's Mansion in his small study today, and couldn't help frowning when he looked at it.
Stretching out his hand and pointing to one of the places to buy, Liang Qian asked the housekeeper beside him: "When I looked here a few days ago, I obviously bought 300 pieces of fabric to distribute this year's gifts, why are there 20 horses missing when they are credited to the account now?" ”
The housekeeper looked at the place where Liang Qian pointed and saw that there were indeed only two hundred and eighty pieces of cloth, and he was also a little suspicious: "Miss, are you mistaken?" The amount of fabric should not be less! No one in the house has been getting these things lately......"
Liang Qian shook her head firmly, because of the large amount of fabric she bought, Liang Qian also specially asked to confirm it, and she was very sure that she could not be mistaken.
In this way, the housekeeper is not sure.
After thinking for a while, the housekeeper said, "Since Miss is not mistaken, there is something wrong with this account book......
The problem with the account books in the house is not a trivial matter, and it should be investigated immediately in any case.
Liang Qian did not hesitate, and immediately told Princess Li about the matter, and Princess Li looked at the account and was very unhappy for a while.
For Li Wangfu, twenty pieces of cloth are only a few dozen taels of silver, which is not a big deal. But such a blatant misappropriation of funds in the Li Wangfu is obviously intolerable.
In the afternoon of the same day, Liang Qian, together with the people sent by Princess Li, arrested the embezzler for embezzlement.
It's a small guy in charge of purchasing.
"How many years have you been in the house? Did you embezzle the money in this account? Princess Li took Liang Qian to sit on the top seat together, looked at this honest-looking little guy and asked.
The little guy kneeling below seemed to have been broken, and Princess Li answered every question, not daring to deceive at all: "Back to the princess!" The little one has been working in the house for three years! The house buys a lot of New Year's goods every year during the New Year's Festival, and the small ones can't be used up every year......"
When the little guy said this, his head slammed on the ground: "The little one is also a ghost for a while!" Ask the princess to be gracious! ”
Princess Li frowned and said angrily: "Please be gracious? Why didn't you expect to be found out when you did all this! Now it's time to know that I'm gracious! Say! What else is there to do in the past three years? You are all shaken out, this princess can also consider opening up! ”
The little guy was silent for a moment when he heard this, and only after a moment did he slowly reply, "No! The minions did just that! ”
asked clearly, Princess Li didn't bother to entangle with this kind of person, so she directly asked someone to drag the little guy down and dispose of it according to the rules of King Li's mansion, and where did she go to buy it.
After doing this series of things, Princess Li rubbed her temples with a headache: "Fortunately, there is a shallow help for me to watch, otherwise I will see that the account book is really a head or two big, and I don't know how far these short-sighted subordinates will be deceived by the time!" ”
Although he felt that the little guy admitted it very strangely, Liang Qian saw that Princess Li was convinced, so he didn't continue to ask. Now hearing Princess Li talking to him like this, Liang Qian smiled and shook his head: "Princess Niangniang is polite!" I'm just at the behest of the princess......"
While the two of them were talking, Qiu Ling, the personal maid beside Princess Li, was a clever person, and quickly walked over to the two of them and poured them tea.
Princess Li took a sip of tea, and the anger in her heart finally subsided, and said, "It's almost evening!" After a while, Li Yu and the old man should come back, go back and clean up, and wait for them to eat together! ”
Liang Qian nodded, the two separated, Liang Qian and Fei Xue walked through the garden together, and walked towards the small gate of the county lord's mansion.
Halfway through, Liang Qian heard some vague words in a trance, was silent for a while, and stopped silently.
Separated by a wall, Liang Qian and Fei Xue stood silently by the wall and heard what was said in the opposite corner.
"Is everything arranged?" An older voice came from the other side of the wall, asking another person.
The other voice sounded younger, and immediately replied, "It's been dealt with!" Wang Er, that guy is a coward, and he has obediently accepted it! ”
This voice Liang Qian is very familiar, it is Qiu Ling next to Princess Li. This afternoon, I was still standing next to Princess Li and pouring tea for myself and Princess Li.
Liang Qian and Fei Xue stood in the corner, listening to the words of the two people silently, until the two of them walked farther and farther away, and the sound was completely inaudible, Liang Qian turned back silently.
"Miss?" Fei Xue looked at Liang Qian, who didn't speak, and thought for a while and proposed, "Do you want to tell the princess about this matter first?" ”
Liang Qian did not speak.
Qiu Ling is the old man next to Princess Li, and the person who has been with Princess Li for a long time, has been for almost ten years. The person who spoke to Qiu Ling sounded louder, and he could talk to Qiu Ling like this, and he thought that he was also an old man in the Li Wangfu, but he didn't know what his identity was.
He and Fei Xue just happened to meet by the wall and then heard such a news, and it is one thing to say whether Princess Li believes it or not. What's more, twenty pieces of cloth are really too insignificant for the Li Wangfu......
Fei Xue looked at the silent Liang Qian, obviously thinking of this direction, and did not continue to speak.
"Let's go!" Liang Qian thought for a while, then turned around and walked back in the direction where the master and servant came: "I am in charge of the current account books in the house, and I can't escape the blame for such a thing, and there is no reason to continue to hide it anyway." ”
Thinking like this, Liang Qian and Fei Xue returned the original way and found Princess Li.
Looking at Liang Qian, who appeared in front of her again in such a short period of time, Princess Li was surprised: "Why did you come back so soon?" What's the matter? ”
Liang Qian was silent for a while, and told everything he and Fei Xue had just heard.
After hearing this, Princess Li was rarely silent. There was an eerie silence in the room for a moment.
