Xiahou Shuang took Yueyun to inspect the store for a few days, and after the inspection, he explained that Wang Chong went to find out the family history of several shopkeepers, and felt that the time was almost up, so he handed over the words to the shopkeepers everywhere in advance, and asked them to come to the Hou Mansion with the account books on the second day to reconcile.

Early in the morning of the second day, the shopkeepers of each shop brought their account books and arrived at the Hou Mansion early to wait for Xiahou Shuang's summons, who had to deal with the affairs of the house in the morning and asked someone to take these people to the guest room to wait.

On the way to wait, some acquaintances whispered to each other why they suddenly changed owners, some were worried that they didn't know how the eldest lady's temperament was to get along with, and some were secretly happy about how capable the young lady who had not left the cabinet, and it seemed that the shop would still have the final say in the future.

didn't let everyone wait for a long time, Xiahou Shuang brought these maids to arrive, and everyone waited for Xiahou Shuang to sit on the main seat, and then arched his hand and said, "I've seen the eldest lady." ”

Xiahou Shuang raised his hand: "All the shopkeepers, please take a seat." ”

After everyone sat down, he said slowly: "I invite you to come here today because I have something to inform you, and you must have heard that from today I will officially take over your shop." ”

"These shops were originally my mother's dowry, and the old lady used to give me the shop to my stepmother to take care of when I was young, and now it is back in my hands, and you are all old people in the shop. ”

Saying that, Xiahou Shuang swept his gaze to a room shopkeeper, who was more than fifty years old.

According to Wang Chong's report, this house shopkeeper was appointed by his mother when he was alive, and he was in charge of Baiweitang's shrewd and capable store, which made a lot of money every year, and the Lin family never touched him.

Xiahou Shuang retracted his gaze and said: "Please come and check the account books today, and by the way, I also know you." ”

After the words fell, Yueyun pointed to the empty table next to him and said, "Please put all the account books in your hands here." ”

Yueyun sorted out the booklet and handed it over, Xiahoushuang picked up a book and flipped it a few times, pointed out a page in the account book to Yueyun, Yueyun nodded and picked up the note.

After Xiahou Shuang put it down, he began to flip through another book, and after a while, more than a dozen account books had been flipped, except for the occasional pause in the middle to let Yueyun make records, there was no sound in the room.

A few shopkeepers exchanged vague glances, I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the eldest lady's gourd, can the young lady who doesn't go out of the door on weekdays still understand the account book?

Xiahou Shuang really didn't have the opportunity to come into contact with these account books in this life, but after marrying in her previous life, she was forced by life to toss and turn in the store every day, so the account books were not strange to her at all.

It didn't take long for Xiahou Shuang to call: "Shopkeeper Lin." ”

A short and fat man in his forties stood up and arched his hand, "Miss." ”

Xiahou Shuang said that an account book was thrown to him and said, "There is a problem with your account book." ”

Shopkeeper Lin's face was red with shame, and after picking up the account book, he asked angrily: "I don't know why the eldest lady said this?

Seeing that he was so annoyed, Xiahou Shuang was not in a hurry, and said unhurriedly: "Last September, you purchased a batch of goods in Linxian County, and the purchase price was five hundred taels of silver, but as far as I know, the market price of such goods is less than one tael per catty, and the total of this batch of goods is only three hundred taels, where did the remaining two hundred taels of silver go?"

Xiahou Shuang's cold voice came into the ears of Shopkeeper Lin, and the shocking Shopkeeper Lin was shocked, he really peeked at this eldest lady, it seems that he came prepared, and he was able to investigate everything for so long.

The rest of the people were also shocked, and they didn't dare to despise it, Xiahou Shuang saw that Shopkeeper Lin was standing there and ignored him, and said to everyone: "The last chance I give you here, you think clearly for yourself, if there is something wrong in the account book, mark it yourself, and hand it over to me later." ”

After speaking, without waiting for everyone to reply, he left with a few people, and the door was closed from the outside after Xiahou Shuang left, leaving several people in the house at a loss.

Who knew that Xiahou Shuang's walk was half a day, and everyone came over early in the morning, and they didn't eat anything except a few glasses of water, which would have been hungry for a long time.

It's still easy to say that you are hungry, and there is a shopkeeper who drinks too much tea and begins to be anxious, and he goes around the house in a circle, and he can't help but go to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, I saw a big man standing on the left and right outside the door, and everyone's faces changed when they saw it.

The shopkeeper didn't care about anything else at the moment, and said: "Contemptible people are in a hurry, and the troublesome little brother is accommodating." ”

The guard at the door was not embarrassed, took the person to the latrine, waited outside and sent the person back after the end.

When everyone saw this posture, they secretly said in their hearts: It seems that if you don't spit out something this time, it may be difficult to end well.

Someone couldn't help it, picked up his account book and began to circle it with a brush.

One person took the lead, and the rest began to follow suit.

When Xiahou Shuang came again, it was already the moment to hold the lamp, and after Xiahou Shuang sat down, he asked, "What do you think?"

A shopkeeper Chen stepped forward and handed over his account book and said: "The villain has also seen money a few times before, and has done something to enrich his own pockets, and he will definitely correct it in the future, and I hope that Miss will let it go." ”

Xiahou Shuang didn't answer, Yueyun stepped forward to take the account book and put it in front of his own young lady, and the people behind him followed suit one by one, and after everyone put their account books back, Xiahou Shuang took out the account book of the shopkeeper Lin just now, looked at it, and asked: "Shopkeeper Lin has only been greedy for less than a thousand taels of silver for so many years. ”

Shopkeeper Lin listened to Xiahou Shuang's words and breathed a sigh of relief. Who knew that Xiahou Shuang's words changed and asked: "But I don't know where the food and clothing of your few beautiful wives and concubines in your family come from?

After listening to this, Shopkeeper Lin raised his sleeves and tried the sweat on his forehead, and said in a whisper: "The villain's ancestor is ...... money."

Xiahou Shuang directly interrupted his words: "As far as I know, the shopkeeper Lin ran out of his hometown by himself because of the many brothers and sisters in the family, and worked as an apprentice in a shoe shop, and later worshiped the shopkeeper as the master.

Shopkeeper Lin heard her tell her about her origins, and shouted in his heart: It's over.

Directly knelt on the ground and said, "Please also ask the eldest lady to spare her life, the villain will never dare again." ”

Xiahou Shuang ignored him and shouted directly out of the door: "Someone." ”

Wang Chong appeared at the door with two people, and Xiahou Shuang pointed at him and said, "Send this person to Jingzhao Mansion, please ask Lord Yin to decide." ”

"Miss, spare your life. "Shopkeeper Lin is still trying to make a final struggle.

Wang Chong waved his hand, and the two people behind him stepped forward directly to take him away.

The rest of the people looked at each other, only the shopkeeper Lin entered the prison of Jingzhao Mansion and it was probably difficult to come out, but I didn't know how the eldest lady would deal with the rest of the people, and everyone was beating drums in their hearts.
