Obviously, what Su Qingluan said was very reasonable, and to the point, after inspection, the account books handed over by Su Qingluan were indeed from the hands of the shopkeeper Lu himself.

Moreover, the handwriting is different from the old and the new, and it is clear that it has been at least a few months since the fake accounts could not have produced such a huge contrast between the old and the new handwriting.

Moreover, there are a large number of items and entries in these two account books, which do not match the figures, and it can be seen that in just one or two years, Lu Jian has a very considerable amount of money in his pocket, and he can at least send himself to prison for a few years and suffer a few boards.

In these days, imprisonment is not just about being locked up, but about hard labor, and your life is in danger at any time. If you slack off a little, you will be whipped.

Ordinary people go to military service, and if they are lucky, they still have the opportunity to be promoted, but those who do hard labor basically work until they die.

However, Su Qingluan would not sympathize with this kind of person at all - after all, when the nostrils looked at people, how could Lu Jian not think of this day?

Of course, the verdict of a case cannot be so fast, but it is obvious that Lu Jian, as a person who "fills his own pockets", embezzled other people's materials.

Now it is to slowly verify how much this amount is, so that we can finally determine how much punishment Lu Jian will sentence, but this matter has nothing to do with Su Qingluan.

After this incident, the seven who were originally dissatisfied with Su Qingluan, and the eight unhappy guys were all honest, standing in front of Su Qingluan in a row, drooping their heads like quails in the water.

At this time, Lu Jian had asked the young man who had "moved the rescuer" to arrive at the door of the shop belatedly.

Su Qingluan fixed his eyes: Eh, acquaintance!

This person is none other than Xie Deshun, the housekeeper of Xie Mansion. Su Qingluan also said in his heart who could make Lu Jian so rampant, and when he saw the person in front of him, he understood a thing or two.

There is a way to be a "seven-grade official in front of the prime minister". And Xie Fu has real power in the court, and he also has a title, and he is even a little related to the royal family.

Honor, honor, power, and nobility, this family can be regarded as all occupied, so even if it is far from the level of "covering the sky with one hand", but in a sense, the Xie Mansion is even more noble than the "Prime Minister's Mansion".

Of course, the biggest reason for this is that although the prime minister of the dynasty is still capable, he is not very popular with the emperor, and on the other hand, Xie Fu, although there is no particularly high-ranking real power controller in the court, has a daughter in the harem, who is quite favored.

For a person like the old emperor who is full of power and is jealous of even his own son who is too good, "holding the whole picture" under his nose is not necessarily a real good thing, but it will make the emperor suspicious everywhere, and when he can't figure it out, his head will fall to the ground.

Therefore, anyone who has a little real power in the imperial court will either be an obedient turtle with a shrunken head, and the emperor will do whatever he says, or he will ask himself to stay away from the Gyeonggi region, and when the time comes, the emperor will be far away, although he is far away from the central power system, he can live a freer life.

Xie Fu also started from two aspects, which is also the fundamental reason why Xie Fu has no people with more than three grades in the DPRK and the central government, although his family is big and his business is big.

Su Qingluan looked at Xie Deshun with a smile, Xie Deshun couldn't help but twitch when she smiled like this-it wasn't for other reasons, but because she smiled like this, Xie Deshun felt that he was going to be cheated again.

There is no way, it is really a conditioned reflex, and it has formed a psychological shadow.

"Shopkeeper Su hasn't seen him for a long time, and he is becoming more and more beautiful and moving." Xie Deshun immediately put on a smiling Maitreya Buddha expression, "Hey, I really miss you Shopkeeper Su." ”

"Thank you for your concern," Su Qingluan also smiled, "I haven't seen you for many days, Steward Xie has become more and more mellow, and it doesn't look like he has lost a few points." ”

Of course, the expression on her face was smiling, but the words she said were not so polite.

"......" Xie Deshun almost choked to death by this sentence, but he understood that the little girl in front of him was no longer a person who could move him. After all, from the very beginning when he saw Su Qingluan, there was someone behind her to protect her.

Xie Deshun did not use his connections to investigate, but he found nothing.

He didn't think that it was an illusion that he felt that someone was protecting Su Qingluan, but he didn't have any clue at all, so there was only one reason: the other party's methods were far above him, and before his own people investigated, the other party had already erased all traces first.

In this case, Xie Deshun understood that no matter who the other party was, it was far from being something he could provoke, so from that time on, Xie Deshun was like a truly kind elder in front of Su Qingluan, and he did not make the slightest disgusting move.

Su Qingluan sat down by herself, and beckoned Yaoguang to sit down together. As for Xie Deshun, he is thick-skinned, and he doesn't need to say hello to him.

For Xie Deshun, Su Qingluan didn't really plan to do anything to him - even if he definitely received a lot of benefits from Lu Jian's side. And this "benefit" is still self-produced in a sense!

But now he hasn't gained a firm foothold in Jingzhou, and Mu Xingzhi also has something on his side, no matter how he looks at it, it is not suitable to be completely tough with Xie Fu - what's more, in Su Qingluan's opinion, instead of taking Xie Deshun down at this time, it is better to pinch his weakness in his hands, and it is more convenient to use it himself.

Thinking so, Su Qingluan slowly began to talk about what had just happened. Saying that he had found a fake account, and it had even been submitted to Zhizhou, Steward Xie's forehead began to form beads of sweat.

Just as Su Qingluan expected before, Xie Deshun did let his wife and brother take over the position of manager of the Jingzhou branch of "Su Ji" because of his selfishness, and the other party was full of private pockets during this period of time, and he also took the opportunity to be greedy a lot.

If Su Qingluan is investigated, he will inevitably go in, and the most important thing is that even if his master family will hate Su Qingluan, he may not stand up for himself!

Thinking like this, the more Xie Deshun thought about it, the more scared he became. Unexpectedly, Su Qingluan sighed with a smile: "Although I know that Steward Xie and Na Lu Jian are relatives, he is too insatiable and ugly, I hope that Steward Xie can kill his relatives in righteousness, what do you think?" ”

Xie Deshun looked up at the girl opposite - no, she had already combed the woman's hair at this time, and it was obvious that she was already married.

Her eyes were still smart and cunning, but they were more unpredictable than they were two or three years ago.

Does she really not know that she also has a share of the spoils? How can it be? Even if Xie Deshun wanted to deceive himself, he knew very well that this matter was simply lice in his hair - obviously.

But why did Su Qingluan suddenly become so "easy to speak"? Xie Deshun thought of a possibility: Maybe she was worried about the Xie Mansion behind her?

Thinking of this, Xie Deshun breathed a sigh of relief. But he didn't know who was standing behind Su Qingluan, so he didn't dare to look down on Su Qingluan-under the roots of this imperial city, it was always wrong to be cautious.

So the two of them were polite to each other, the atmosphere was very harmonious, and those who didn't know thought that the two were elders and juniors with close identities, but both sides knew that the people on the other side secretly didn't know what they were planning.
