Chapter 562: Bad Name, Bad Words!
The chief housekeeper was anxious, for fear that the Hou Ye would listen to the slander and misunderstand the county lord.
He was just about to step forward to explain, but he didn't want the Hou Ye to look at the shopkeeper, kicked him a few feet away, and then strode into the house.
Jiayin smiled and said, "Father-in-law, are you back, have you eaten at noon?" ”
"No, I came back to eat with you." Hou Ye smiled and rubbed the fat girl's hair, and discussed with her: "I haven't eaten cyclamen for a long time, do you want to go there for lunch?" ”
"Okay, the uncle is not here, my father-in-law and I are going to support the second brother." Jiayin was so smart that he immediately guessed Hou Ye's intentions, "My father-in-law is the god of war, and the bad guys are afraid when they see it, so they don't dare to bully the second brother." ”
Hou Ye scratched her little nose and said with a smile: "Ghost elf, I really can't hide anything from you, I'm tired of checking the account books, right?"
"The emperor rewarded a few new materials, you pick and choose after a while, leave your favorite style and let the embroidery girl make a dress, and take the rest back to the family to share."
"Okay," Jia Yin responded crisply, "Grandma was going to prepare a congratulatory gift before, and there was no material in the warehouse, so I just left some more for grandma." ”
If there was no one around, the joy of the words made the big housekeeper completely relieved.
But it also made the shopkeepers look shocked.
They had heard before that Lord Hou treated the righteous daughter of the county lord differently, and loved him more than his own daughter.
But when they saw it with their own eyes today, they realized that they were more dear to their daughters than their own daughters!
The shopkeeper of the restaurant covered his stomach and half lay in the courtyard, which was even more cold.
He originally wanted to confuse right and wrong, starting with the county lord's surname Li Bu's surname Ye, and trying to "overturn the case" for himself.
But now it is clear that he was planning in vain.
However, he didn't want to be defeated by a little girl, so he struggled to climb the steps again.
He shouted loudly: "Hou Ye, the old slave is Bai Sanxing, he has been taking care of the restaurant for the Hou Mansion for more than ten years, the old slave has no credit and hard work, Hou Ye will listen to the old slave say a few words."
"Master Hou, the old slave is wronged, the old slave can't bear to see the Hou Ye being robbed of his family property, and the old slave will not be blind!"
Hou Ye frowned, turned his head to look at him, and sneered: "You have been taking care of the restaurant for the Hou Mansion for more than ten years, but the Hou Mansion has also paid you for more than ten years of wages and divided the dividends for more than ten years, where do you get the credit for your hard work, isn't this your duty?" ”
The white shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and then cried again, "Master Hou, the old slave is just an old man with dizzy eyes, and he has read the wrong number, so that the general ledger is not correct, and the county lord has wronged the old slave for greedy silver!"
"In autumn and winter, eggs and vegetables are already much more expensive, and the county lord said that the old slave did something wrong in purchasing, and the old slave was wronged!
"Master Hou, if the county lord wants to kick the old slave down and replace it with their Li family, although it is clear that don't let the old slave bear such a notoriety, the old slave will not be willing to die!"
Jiayin didn't want to speak, but now he had to speak, "You, how can you open your eyes and talk nonsense?" An account book that has made ten wrong numbers not to say, buying eggs in June, it actually cost three times more than usual, and it is said that it is autumn and winter, and your family is considered autumn and winter in June?! ”
Hou Ye patted the fat girl's back, like soothing the fried kitten, and finally asked Xiang Bai's shopkeeper, "You said that the county lord deliberately framed you and arranged for the Li family to snatch your position?" ”
"Yes, Master Hou." The white shopkeeper had no way out, and said stubbornly.
The chief housekeeper wanted to explain again, but he didn't want the Hou Ye to nod, and said to the white shopkeeper: "You reminded me that the shop is not in the name of the county lord, and it is indeed unjustifiable for her to take care of it in the future." ”
After that, he instructed the chief butler, "Go to the government tomorrow and bring all the shops to the county lord." ”
Everyone gasped when they heard this!
The white shopkeeper opened his mouth wide, and his throat was looking at the sky......
The shops in the Hou Mansion, inside and outside Kyoto, are more than 30 of them!
It's all for the county lord?!
The Hou Mansion will not be in the future?!
In particular, several shopkeepers who have problems with the same account books are simply dead.
Originally, I was expecting the white shopkeeper to come out, and they could pick up the bargain after them, but it seems that it is completely finished at this time......
The four of them glanced at each other and knelt down in unison.
One of them took the lead and said: "Master Hou, we are obsessed, we have done something in the account book, and we are greedy for money, we are willing to return all the silver taels, and only ask Hou Ye to spare our lives." ”
Hou Ye glanced at them and said: "The death penalty can be avoided, but the living crime cannot be escaped, after the restitution, one person will receive twenty boards." Allow yourselves to redeem yourselves and get out of the new capital with your whole family! ”
These shopkeepers are all slaves of the Hou Mansion, some have signed a death deed, some have signed a long-term work deed for 20 years, and even a family is a slave of the Hou Mansion.
With their backs to the big trees to enjoy the shade, as the stewards and shopkeepers of the Hou Mansion, they have never been bullied outside.
They just need to think about it, in the future, take off the talisman of the Hou Mansion and live the life of ordinary people, it is like having no cotton clothes, but they have to walk in the cold winter wind and snow......
But the wrong thing has already been done, and it's too late to regret it.
The four of them kowtowed to the ground and obediently retreated to receive the board.
The white shopkeeper listened to the screams in the yard, and the whole person was not good!
He still wanted to speak, but the Hou Ye had already instructed the chief housekeeper, "Call this person's whole family, ask if there is anything else, and then deal with it, and the whole family will sell it." ”
"Yes, Master Hou!" The chief butler answered, waved his hand and called the two guards to step forward, pulled the white shopkeeper and left.
The white shopkeeper struggled desperately and wanted to speak, but he was knocked out of the sheath and passed out......
The rest of the shopkeepers who had no problems all stood aside with their heads bowed, like quails, and they didn't dare to gasp.
The chief butler asked tentatively: "Master Hou, who is in charge of these five shops?" ”
Hou Ye looked at Jiayin and said, "The county lord decides." ”
Jiayin tilted his head, kicked his two calves, and said after thinking about it, "These five shops, let the deputies of the original shopkeeper be on top, for a month, if they are enough to support the shop, they will be officially promoted." The shopkeepers of the rest of the shops were loyal and diligent, and were rewarded with an extra month's wages. ”
"Okay, so be it." Hou Ye nodded and motioned for everyone to retreat.
The shopkeepers hurriedly saluted and thanked them respectfully, and then withdrew one after another.
When the chief housekeeper saw that there were no outsiders in the house, he couldn't hold it back, so he gave a thumbs up and exaggerated the good news, "County Lord, Fang Cai is really powerful, and the handling is too good!" ”
Jiayin quietly glanced outside the door, then patted his chest and said with a smile: "Fang Cai really scared me to death, as long as I didn't make a mistake." ”
"No, no, the county lord handled it very properly! These shopkeepers are donkeys, leading and not leaving, fighting backwards, and beating more in the future, otherwise they are easy to make mistakes. ”
The chief butler found a good excuse, hurriedly climbed up the pole, and pleaded with a bitter face: "Can the county lord come to the Hou Mansion a few more times in the future, even twice a month?!" Hou Ye is often not at home, although the old slave is a housekeeper, but he is also a slave, the county lord often comes and goes, and the hearts of the people in the house can not be dispersed......"
