Chapter 192: Interrogating Boss Xia
Last night, the owner of the rice shop sent the moldy rice to the house, and the next day when Dalong went to the store to buy medium rice, he didn't even say a word. br>
Is the rice shop owner too honest, or too chicken thief?
"How dare I, your mansion has always been purchased by Han Steward. I will do whatever he says. How do I know what he is going to do, and if I offend Steward Han by asking more, I'm afraid that I won't have any business to do in the future."
The owner of the rice shop cried with a sad face, how could he be a person inside and outside in this matter. I only hate Han Mao's kid in my heart, and he took the price of moldy rice to report the account of good rice.
"Boss Xia, I have a receipt written by you here. You dare to fake the rice and noodles in our county, who will dare to buy your things in the future?" Holly held the ledger in her hand, and there was a receipt voucher on it.
Han Beiqing's financial team is quite professional, not only has a good account manager, but also combines the financial means such as account books and vouchers with the practices of later generations. It is more rigorous, more scientific, and easier to check and find leaks.
Boss Xia of the rice shop carried his face, knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing: "Please Miss Mingjian, the little one is just a person who does a small business." We will do whatever the guests say. I collected the money according to the price of moldy rice, and I returned the extra money given by Steward Song to Steward Han intact. And ......"
Boss Xia bit the root, closed his eyes and said resignedly: "Since you bought it from Steward Han in your mansion, I will give Steward Han a benefit fee of 10% every month. In the past, when I didn't do business with the county government, the small ones still made some money. Only in the house, not to mention the rules, the stewards below are black-hearted, and they are relatives of the county lord."
Having said that, it is impossible to do business in the future. And if you offend the county, maybe the whole family will have to leave Huaining County. Boss Xia turned his heart sideways and simply said what was in his heart.
"We ordinary people don't know whether the county lord instructed the steward to ask for money or the steward was greedy for money. Anyway, the money went into your county mansion, and the pot has to be borne by our bitter master."
Everyone's faces changed drastically, and Dalong angrily scolded: "Our girl's business conduct is well-known, we never owe anyone a penny, let alone bully others. When you say this, you are clearly slandering."
Holly's face was also ugly: "Before Han Mao was in charge, I was in charge of the accounts in the mansion. It's not a day or two for the two of us to deal with each other, have I ever bullied you with the power of the county lord?"
Boss Xia's face was ugly, he bowed his head and was silent, so he could only hang his head and accept his fate.
"I won't embarrass you, this matter does have my responsibility for not being strict with my family." Han Beiqing glanced at Bai Zhu, and Bai Zhu took out a piece of testimony: "This is the testimony, Boss Xia can leave after signing and drawing." If I go to court with Steward Han in the future, I hope that Boss Xia can give a personal witness."
Boss Xia hurriedly nodded in agreement, but the testimony was glanced at hastily, and a cold sweat couldn't help but break out at this glance.
The testimony carefully listed every transaction between Han Mao and himself, what time he sent what goods, how much price, and how many rebates he gave, which can be said to be clearer than he remembers.
It seems that Manager Han's East Window incident happened, and the owner is not ready to bypass him. He called himself here to interrogate the evidence.
Thinking of this, Boss Xia breathed a sigh of relief. After signing and drawing on it, he looked at Han Beiqing with a flattering face: "The eldest lady will be able to use the small one in the future, and the small one will be on call."
Han Beiqing nodded and glanced at Da Long. Dalong immediately grabbed Boss Xia's shoulders and pulled him up: "Okay, our girl has bypassed you. Boss Xia, you can remember what you said today."
Boss Xia nodded and said respectfully, "Yes, yes, I had to do a lot of wrong things in the past. Fortunately, the eldest lady was generous, and the younger one escaped."
He raised his head and looked at Han Beiqing's muttering, "I just don't know if the little one will be able to send food to your mansion in the future."
Dalong Xiaocan and others also looked at Han Beiqing, Xiaocan was a heartless person. blurted out: "You give us bad things, of course we will never buy your house again."
The corners of Boss Xia's mouth twitched, and he sighed in pain. There's no way, it's really ugly to do it yourself, and people don't want to cooperate with you
It's also normal.
Han Beiqing said, "Holly said that apart from this matter, we have been working together very happily. I also know that you were intimidated by Han Mao to be like this. Speaking of which, it's kind of our family that can't live with you."
Boss Xia hurriedly waved his hand, his cheeks turned red, and he said with an embarrassed face: "The eldest lady saves face for the little one, and the little one is grateful. Speaking of which, it was my lard that blinded me, knowing that this matter was not good, but I wanted to take the opportunity to dispose of the old squeezing goods at home."
Han Beiqing smiled lightly: "You are honest, you are willing to tell the truth."
Boss Xia touched his nose stupidly: "That's also because the eldest lady didn't look down on us little people. If something like this happens, if you meet someone else's house, you will either be sent to prison or a sum of money. The small one kept the rice shop and could still have a business to do, because the eldest lady was merciful."
Boss Xia knelt on the ground, and the expression on his face was much more sincere than before: "The eldest lady is not only thinking about the little one, but also the little one has the courage to say the truth. Dare to ask the eldest lady, these rice noodles are for the poor to accumulate virtue and blessings?"
Han Beiqing was slightly stunned, looking at the white beads. Bai Zhu whispered in her ear: "The rich and noble family of the official eunuch does have the good deed of opening a warehouse to release grain. Accumulate virtue and blessings for your own family, and seek peace and prosperity in the coming year."
Han Beiqing nodded clearly, and Boss Xia thought he had guessed right.
He continued: "This moldy rice was too wet last year to become moldy, and it has been sun-dried, but the taste is still a little damp, and it will be fine if you add some good rice when you boil it. As long as those poor people have rice to eat, it is good. It doesn't matter if it's expensive or cheap."
Han Beiqing suddenly realized, "So, you're not worried about eating the dead."
Boss Xia nodded, and looked at Han Beiqing respectfully: "What Xiao said is true, and it is not for the purpose of doing business with your mansion. It's the truth."
"Thank you Boss Xia for reminding me, Holly, send Boss Xia back." Han Beiqing smiled lightly and asked Holly to take people away.
Holly led the trance-looking Boss Xia out of the yard until it was delivered to the mouth of the alley. Compared with the big dragon who doesn't smile, Boss Xia has been in contact with Holly for a longer time.
"Brother Holly, I didn't know your last name for so long." Boss Xia didn't want to leave, and there were thousands of words in his stomach that he didn't know how to speak.
"I'm from the same clan as Boss Xia, and my surname is Xia and Holly." Holly's tone was modest, but the look on her face was faint.
"It's an honor to be with the Holly brothers." Boss Xia is accustomed to Holly's cold temperament, and when he heard that the two had the same surname Xia, he felt that the two were very cordial.
"Because it's the same clan, I reminded you. That Han Mao and the county master are relatives who came out of Wufu, and they only came to the door to climb relatives because of the old lady, and when the old man was not an official, he ignored our family."
Hearing Holly's words, Boss Xia regretted not being at the beginning: "I see, I said that he did such a great job, and he was not afraid of ruining the reputation of the county master."
"Don't mention this matter to him in the future, if our girl wants to clean him up, there will definitely be thunderous means. Don't startle the snake first, if you are smart and on the way, there will be a big deal to do in the future."
Holly's words, Shopkeeper Xia was a little unconvinced. I suspect in my heart that this is Xia Dongqing appeasing him.
Unexpectedly, Holly said, "Do you know that a two-story restaurant in the paper mill is being renovated recently?"
Boss Xia blurted out: "Of course I know, but I haven't heard of which grain store this restaurant is going to cooperate with."
"There are several owners of this restaurant, and the one who takes the lead is our county Chengfu." Holly looked at Boss Xia coldly, "If you are smart, you should know what I mean."
Boss Xia immediately understood, his eyes lit up, and he assured with a look of surprise: "Please rest assured, our girl, out of this alley, is to take a knife rack to my neck." I won't say a word, not even my daughter-in-law."
