Chapter 9
Ye Li saluted the old lady and said: "madam is busy with the affairs of the mansion all day. How can she know the things outside. The old lady doesn't know, but our family is suffering from the people below. In recent days, glass carefully checked the accounts of each shop. Shen dexuan, for example, actually had an annual surplus of at least 30000 taels. However, since three years ago, the amount handed over to the government was still less than 10000 Liang. Actually, more than half of them were swallowed up by the steward below. Originally, my mother told me that before Li Er got married, the 12 shops could make at least 25 liang of profits as long as they benefited from their operation. In addition to the flowers in the house, she is also the legitimate mother of the sisters and brothers in the mansion, and naturally wants to add makeup to the sisters. I didn't expect Now my mother's efforts are in vain. In recent years, the amount of silver given to the government is less than 100000 Liang. This is the account book. Please have a look at it This time, not only Ye Shangshu and the old lady, but also other young ladies and aunt's faces changed. Hundreds of thousands of taels have not been seen, and among them there is a dowry for his daughter. The hall immediately quarreled, "master, old lady, when the lady is here, she still thinks about us sisters and sons and daughters. The master must punish those who killed thousands of swords."
"That's right. They are so black hearted that they dare to be greedy for the money in our house."
"See for yourself what you have done!"
The old lady's face was gloomy and threw the account book to Wang's feet. Wang didn't expect that Ye Li was going to punish Ye Li. How could Ye Li take the matter to himself with a few words. Holding the account book, the more she turned back, Mrs. Wang's hand trembled more and more. In my heart, I hated that I had underestimated this girl. I had never taught her how to manage my family and take power. However, there was not a trace on the account book that could hide her. Even the hidden accounts in the shop have been turned out. Obviously, the trick of pinching people is not ordinary, "old lady Master, my wife... "
The old lady snorted coldly: "no wonder I asked you to do the dowry. You said that the government couldn't get money, and the emotional money was taken back to stick to your mother's home?"
"Old lady, my daughter-in-law is wronged. It's all the greedy people below. The daughter-in-law doesn't know this at all... "
"I don't know? I don't know your cousin is a shopkeeper in shendexuan? I don't know you've changed the shopkeepers of several shops in a hurry? " The old lady stares at Wang's family. What she hates most is that she takes the money from the Ye family to subsidize her mother's family. This is something that any mother-in-law can't tolerate. What's more, Wang's wife is not married in the open, but brought up from the side room. "Girl Li, where are those pickpockets?"
Ye Li dropped his eyes and respectfully replied, "Li Er has made up his mind to keep those people in custody. Those who have signed the contract of sale have made ten boards, and those who are hired outside are going to send them to the government. "
The old lady frowned and said, "you girl is still too soft hearted. What can ten boards do? Let people bring up the manager of shendexuan and the treasure Pavilion. " Shendexuan, a curio shop and a jewelry store are the most profitable among the 12 stores, accounting for almost half of all revenues.
After a while, several people who were tied up were dragged in. As soon as the shopkeeper Wang saw Wang, he cried out, "sister, brother-in-law, help..." Ye Shangshu glared at Wang's family with an iron blue face, and did not open his mouth. Wang's anger and anger, even voice: "wantonly, do not quickly let go of Uncle master!" Ye Li said with an apologetic smile: "it turned out that it was really the uncle of the Wang family. Li'er should have been a joke made by four younger sisters. Although Wang family is not everyone, there are many people who are officials in the dynasty. How could they become the manager of shendexuan. But Shendexuan's master and staff told shopkeeper Wang that in a few years, Shen dexuan's silver was more than 80000 taels. I don't know... "
"It must be the slander of those villains. How can my cousin be greedy for money and ink? " Wang said decidedly.
Ye Li looked at the old lady, but didn't contradict him. He said, "since the lady is willing to protect the shopkeeper Wang, how dare Li'er not believe it? In a moment, I'll ask manager Wang and Shen dexuan's master and his staff to go to the capital city to confront each other. "
Wang's face changed, and even said, "it's just a little thing. Where can I trouble the governor of the capital?" Yin Qinmu, the newly appointed governor of the capital city, is known as an iron faced judge. If he is in his hands, where can he get good.
Ye Li comforted Wang and said with a smile: "madam, don't worry. If you really wronged my uncle, lil will kowtow to him in person. Come on, pull this picky thing out and hit 50 more boards! " Looking back, Ye Li points to the cold voice of the shopkeeper of the Tibetan treasure Pavilion lying on one side. Just a short time ago, the shopkeeper who had just been hit by ten big boards suddenly looked like dirt, "miss three, spare your life! Third miss Madam, help... " Wang had a dark face and did not speak. The old lady's old eyes slightly one MI, the light voice order way: "according to three young lady's order to do." Looking at Ye Li's eyes, Ye Li naturally knew that the old lady was looking at her, but she didn't care. She looked at the shopkeeper coldly and said, "you are different from shopkeeper Wang. You are the slave who sold yourself to Xu family to marry my mother. Your mother treated you well when she was alive. Only a few years ago did you dare to disobey the Lord like this. Even if you are killed, no one dares to say a word! Hit me hard The shopkeeper was so soft that he couldn't stop shaking. All the people present could not help but feel some palpitation. Originally, they thought that the unknown third lady was a fool to bully, but it turned out that they were the ones who looked away.
"No Please forgive me, miss Madam, help Ma'am, most of my greedy money is given to you. You can't let yourself die! ""Asshole! What are you talking about. Don't drag it out. " Wang's angry exclaimed.
The shopkeeper was dragged out, and after a while, there were howls. There was silence in the hall, and Ye Li's elegant voice sounded faintly, "Qingshuang, please ask manager Wang and shendexuan to go to the Fuyin Yamen in the capital city, and let people say to Lord Qin. I've heard that Lord Qin is selfless, and I hope Lord Qin can give us justice to Ye family."
"Yes Clear frost crisp sound response.
"Wait..." Ye Ying came forward and said, "grandmother, Dad, this must not be done. If we go to the yamen, it will not protect the face of empress Zhaoyi and Wang Li's residence Yinger Ying'er has no face to marry again. I'd like to ask my father and grandmother to think twice... "
"Mother..." Ye Shangshu looked at the old lady, and naturally he did not approve of going to Yamen. Now the most important thing is the marriage of empress Zhaoyi and ye Ying in the palace.
The old lady looked at Ye Li, frowned and looked at shopkeeper Wang with disgust and said, "since they are all relatives, it's hard for the two families to tear their faces. But the shop belongs to lil, so we can't just let it go. Make up for the lost silver as soon as possible. After all The king of Li can't offend him, and the prince's office should also explain it to him. "
"Make up for it?" Wang cried out. Hundreds of thousands of taels of silver is not a fraction. How can she make it up?
