Although Fu County is in the north, but adjacent to the Meishui River, the perennial rain is abundant and even flooded, the river embankment is beaten by wind and waves all year round, if the Fu County bursts the embankment, the flood will inundate the three prefectures and counties and cause disaster to hundreds of people.

For this reason, the imperial court specially allocated 500,000 taels to repair the river, Huang Yao was ordered to repair the embankment, that year it rained in Fu County for a month, the newly repaired river embankment was swallowed by floods, tens of thousands of people were homeless, Huang Yao was detained in Beijing pending trial, under the strict trial of Dali Temple, Huang Yao confessed to the crime.

In the wing room, Gu Mingzhu quietly listened to Guan Da's words and asked, "Uncle Guan, how is Huang Yao on weekdays?" ”

"Huang Yao is a good official praised by everyone in the mouth of the people of Fuyang County, but because of the river embankment, he has been scolded so far."

Gu Mingzhu was silent, his fingers unconsciously tapped on the tabletop, and he looked down at the miscellaneous records in his hand.

Huang Yao's case was an old case seven years ago, when she was only seven years old, and she was so far away that she could not hear any news.

"It's just pity for Huang Yao's children." Guan Da sighed: "Huang Yao's children are twins, they look like elder brothers, call Huang Yu, that is really the dragon and phoenix among people, he was admitted to Xie Yuan at a young age, why worry about the title of the gold list in time?" His daughter called Yueyan, who was born with a beautiful face and moon appearance, was extremely intelligent, and worshiped under a famous teacher since she was a child, learned a good martial arts, but was born as an official prostitute. ”

Gu Mingzhu was silent for a long time, and after a while, he said: "Huang Yao's daughter is indeed born with a beautiful face and a great beauty. ”

As he was talking, there was a knock on the door of the wing: "Master Guan, there is a visitor." ”

Gu Mingzhu said: "Uncle Guan is busy." ”

Guan Da retreated, and the little servant said, "A young master is here, I ordered a few dishes, and I want to send them to the house." ”

Guan Da followed downstairs, and a young man in purple was standing in the front hall.

Guan laughed and said: "This son, this store will charge another fifty taels for sending it to the house." ”

September said: "It's easy to say. ”

Guan Da took the list, his eyelids jumped slightly, and said, "Send it to Gu's house in the west of the city?" ”

"Yes, I gave it to Miss Gu in the west of the city, and I said that it was sent by Xufu, the girl loves to eat bamboo shoots, and she picks up two good bamboo shoots to make."

The little guy quickly made a calculation and said, "Childe, the five dishes are three thousand five hundred taels, plus an additional fifty taels, a total of three thousand five hundred and fifty taels." ”

September didn't frown, took out the silver ticket, the little guy retrieved the money, and sent the person away with a smile on his face.

Guan Da hurried upstairs with the recipe.

Gu Mingzhu saw him go back and was about to ask questions, when Guan Da handed over a piece of paper.

She took it and said, "Sent it to me?" ”

"Since Miss is here, why don't you eat here?"

"It's fine."

Ah San sighed and said: "Everyone knows that Miss and Xu Shizi went to the Thirteen Gardens for dinner, and they have received a lot of distinguished guests in the past few days, Uncle Guan couldn't bear it at first, and now he is a little indifferent when he sees these silver coins. ”

This table is a lot of money.

Gu Mingzhu put the paper on the table, Guan Da had already gone out, Ah San saw her staring at the paper thoughtfully, and quipped: "Miss, Xu Shizi really cares about you, knowing that Uncle Guan's food is delicious, let people send it without blinking." ”

Gu Mingzhu closed her eyes and pretended to sleep: "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person." ”

Ah San touched his nose gloomily.

"Ah San." Gu Mingzhu opened his eyes: "Help me find someone." ”

"Who is Miss looking for?"

"The author of this miscellaneous book."

Ah San saw that she was quite interested in this matter, so he said: "This miscellaneous video was deliberately done by someone, otherwise how could this matter be put in this book, does the writer think that the Huang family was robbed by this strange news?" ”

Gu Mingzhu picked up the book, his expression darkened, and said, "Find someone and ask, won't you know?" ”

On the second day, just after breakfast, the three big shopkeepers came to the door together.

Gu Mingzhu checked the account book, and there was no smile in his eyes: "The three of you are so punctual!" ”

The three of them were all stunned.

Originally, it was scheduled to be five days, but it took almost ten days for this life to be delivered......

"Let's go back and wait for news."

Yang Laibin stubbornly said, "Miss...... This ......"

Gu Mingzhu slammed the ledger, and his tone was as cold as ice: "Don't understand the words? ”

"Yes yes yes ......"

The three of them quickly retreated.

Gu Mingzhu rubbed her eyebrows, only feeling tired.

She flipped through the ledger casually, and quickly put it down.

If she blatantly disobeys her words, she has already made up her mind, and such a person naturally cannot be kept.

With an idea, Gu Mingzhu didn't even go to Xu's mansion, took the account book back to the room, read it patiently, picked out the mistakes again, and calculated carefully.

Three days passed in a flash.

Early this morning, Gu Mingzhu asked Chun'er to notify the three shopkeepers to come.

As soon as the three of them arrived, Gu Mingzhu threw out the account book: "Come, take a look, see what you are giving." ”

The three of them looked at each other, picked up the ledger on the ground, and opened each of them with suspicious expressions.

"This ...... These ......"

The monthly income and expenses are all recalculated.

Gu Mingzhu said coolly: "Uncle Yang, tell me, what lotus root costs more than five hundred taels?" Ten taels of live mandarin fish? More than two hundred taels of free tea? Don't you think I can't read the account! ”

Gu Mingzhu got up: "Shopkeeper Ying, it's better to talk about Mozhai." ”

The shopkeeper shook his body and said with difficulty: "Miss...... I ......"

After living for half a lifetime, I was actually stopped by a yellow-haired girl!

Yinglai felt a little incredible, but the person in front of him seemed to really want to swallow them, and there was a ghost in his heart, so he couldn't help but feel weak.

"You can get some oil and water, I can turn a blind eye, after all, you have been in the Gu family for a few years, but such blatant deception!" Gu Mingzhu's tone was sharp: "Are you looking at the Gu family as fools?" The three shops, all of which are the best areas for the flow of people, are revitalized once every six months, which month is less than 20,000 taels? ”

"Send me an account of seven thousand taels?" Her gaze swept over the three of them and exclaimed, "Whose idea! ”

Yang Laibin knelt down with a plop, and said with a pale face: "Miss......"

Gu Mingzhu sneered: "Yang Laibin! When you were cornered, it was the Gu family who took you in! Now you will take revenge! That's a good job! ”

Yang Laibin was afraid.

"Miss...... I'm just a ghost, so I'm begging Miss to open up the net......"

Gu Mingzhu put his hands behind his back and looked indifferent: "I have already given the opportunity, from today onwards, the three of them will no longer be the shopkeepers of the Gu family's shop, let's find another high-ranking position." ”

"Chun'er, send a few people to get the shopkeeper's seal."

"Yes."

"Miss...... Miss, I have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child, and you want my life......"

The chaos in the hall is so painful that people's brains hurt.

Gu Mingzhu ignored the crying of the three people, went straight out of the hall door, and instructed: "When they are finished crying, they will be driven out of the house." ”

"Yes."

When he bathed in the evening, Ah San brought Yueyan.

Yueyan was dusty, and he didn't even bother to eat, waiting outside the house.

Gu Mingzhu came out with wet hair, and saw Yueyan standing at the door, standing tall.

It is worthy of practicing martial arts.

"Miss." Yueyan said respectfully.

Gu Mingzhu nodded slightly and said, "In the future, you can do things by my side." ”

Yueyan lowered her head: "Yes." ”

Because of Yueyan's arrival, Gu Mingzhu became idle.

There is an account, and the words of the month will be calculated. If there is something, she will plan, and if there is anything, she can come up with an idea.

Because Xu Jue had been there, the Thirteen Gardens quickly became famous among the children of the family, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are making money every day.

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye.

Gu Xiurong returned from Ganzhou and brought back evidence of the Yan family's collusion with the Ganzhou Fort, because the Yan family was a subordinate of King Rui, King Rui was scolded by the emperor and unloaded his recent errand.

The matter of the Lotus Tower, this is the end.

There was no clue about the assassination of Prince De, and the emperor lost his temper twice, and he was gone.
