Mingmen Family

Chapter 266

Ye Yaming pressed him down: "Father, don't worry."

She said to Wen Tao: "Before I said anything, Mr. Wen took the initiative. Are you guilty? I'm afraid we will tell you something, so I want to annoy you and I will fire you directly. How about you get away?"

"You didn't say anything? You did everything." Wen Tao pointed to the two guards behind him and said, "Are you catching prisoners? I said something happened at home, and when I came back later, I was caught They brought it by force."

Ye Yaming was impatient to argue with him, and raised her hand to Lue, and Lue brought several ledgers to Wen Tao.

“No.20一页，这日一笔卖出上等团茶64个，中等团茶72个。上等团茶每个售价15两银子，中等团茶每个12两, 共计一百820四两。结果这上面写成了一千620两。还有二百零四两银子去哪儿了？”

"Turn to page 43 of this ledger, and the sales today... the ledger is even, and all the figures match up. The problem is that the tea sold that day is far more than what is recorded in the ledger, and there are seven other teas sold. Waiting for tuancha, where did the money for the nine medium tuancha go?"

Hearing Ye Yaming report a wrong account, Wen Tao still forced himself to be calm, but Xu Shen and Shen Chongyi's faces turned pale.

Especially Xu Shen, what Ye Yaming reported just now was the account of the tea house.

The teahouse is a place to drink tea. Only when new tea is on the market and the quantity is not large, will it be sold in a crowded place like a teahouse.Others buy tea to store and drink slowly, or buy it as a gift, and even those small teahouses do not have their own tea gardens and tea factories, they will go to the teahouse to buy it and sell it loosely, and they will go directly to the teahouse for wholesale.

Therefore, the teahouses are doing large-scale business, and the price is not cheap, so a single transaction can cost thousands of taels.

At this time, the tuan tea is not made into one piece per catty, there are eight pieces per catty of tea, and four pieces per catty of tea.Because retail investors often buy one or two, and small teahouses also ask for three or four of each, Yejia Teahouse calculates the unit price based on the number.

This kind of non-integer accounts is a headache in ancient times when there were no calculators and mathematics was generally not very good. There are several or even dozens of accounts a day. Hard to find.

"I checked the accounts for the past five years. At the beginning, Mr. Xu only made a small mistake. Every time he made a mistake of a few taels, it was only a dozen or 20 taels a month. In March four years ago, he became more courageous. Dozens of taels are wrong every month, and even once in the past two years, it is 200 taels. Over the years, you have been greedy for 780 taels.”

"I don't, I'm not greedy for money." Xu Shen exclaimed, "Third Miss, if there is a mistake in what you said just now, I did not intend to make a mistake. The numbers are so large and messy, and occasionally there are one or two mistakes. It’s inevitable. These old masters also know about it.”

Ye Chongming slapped the table: "Nonsense."

He did know that Xu Shen would occasionally make some mistakes, but he didn't know that this person was so bold and greedy for so much money.

Ye Yaming ignored Xu Shen, and raised her hand to ask Bai Rui to hold Chong Yi's account book in front of him.

"Mr. Shen didn't make a lot of money, so he made frequent mistakes in small accounts. But you didn't make any big mistakes four years ago, and the frequent mistakes started in March of the four years. I calculated the amount of money you were greedy for, and it totaled two Thousand 560 three taels."

Shen Zhongyi said with trembling lips, "No, I didn't. It's all because of my incompetence in learning and miscalculation. I'm not greedy for a penny."

"I've already reported it to the officials. Leave your excuses to the yamen." Ye Yaming said, "But Mr. Xu and Mr. Shen have thought about it. Will you bear the responsibility alone, or will you partner with you? Even those who instigated you to make mistakes will confess."

Wen Tao was still trying to keep his composure, but he couldn't help it when he heard this: "Miss San, are you talking about me? Are you instigating them to pull me down in order to alleviate their guilt? The three accountants of the Ye family, you slander me If they knock down two of them, it doesn’t matter, but they also want to get rid of me? No one from the old man will be left, and you will be replaced directly? Third girl, I think you are too good at doing things, right?”

He looked at Ye Chongming: "Master, I think that I am honest and aboveboard, and I never disdain petty behavior. My character and ability have also been affirmed by you. Now you are watching the third girl insult us and put shit on our heads Pot, so that we can be kicked out and replaced by the third girl?"

"You don't have to provoke our grandparents and grandchildren." Ye Chongming said, "You know what you have done. It is in vain that I have trusted you for so many years, but you have made troubles under my nose. Wen Tao, I really didn't expect you to be like this people."

Before bringing Wen Tao and the others, Ye Yaming pointed out the errors in those ledgers to Ye Chongming, Ye Hongchang and others.

Since Ye Chongming and others are in business, learning to count is the most basic skill.Because they trust Wen Tao and the accounts are complicated, they just read them roughly once a month.

The Ye family's business is very big, and the monthly turnover is at least tens of thousands, and it is as high as 10,000+ in the peak season of spring.The three accountants are very careful with their hands and feet, and they don't even notice that thousands of dollars are stolen from the accounts every year.

After Ye Yaming pointed it out, they did the calculations and found that the accounts were indeed wrong.And all of them were Xu Shen and Zhongyi's handwriting, without any signs of alteration.Coupled with the fact that Ye Yaming has always acted upright and valued righteousness over money, they didn't really suspect that Ye Yaming wanted to get rid of the old man and replace him with his confidant.

Ye Yaming ignored Wen Tao at all, and only said to Shen Yi: "Mr. Shen, you don't have much greed. If you can spit out the money and pay it back, we don't have to hold you accountable. The premise is that you have Tell me all you know."

As she spoke, she nodded towards Ye Hongchang.

This Chongyi is timid, and he can't help but go to Wen Tao when he hears a little bit of wind.And judging from his accounts, he should have been instigated by Wen Tao to start cheating on the accounts.The number of his greedy ink is not large, and it is the easiest to open the gap.

Ye Hongchang stood up: "Mr. Shen, shall we talk next door?"

When Zhong Yi heard that as long as he spit out the greedy money, he would not be held accountable, he was immediately refreshed, and immediately followed Ye Hongchang to the next door.

He can write and calculate, and he can have a meal wherever he goes.He didn't spend all his greedy money, but bought a small shop.The big deal is to pay the Ye family the shop, and he is still a respected accountant when he goes out.

What's more, half of the money he was greedy for was distributed to Wen Tao.The account in the account book was made by him, and the evidence is conclusive. The Ye family really wanted to report to the officials. With the identity of the third girl, the magistrate's yamen would only curry favor with her, but not to him, the accountant who made a mistake.When the time comes, he will be convicted, but Wen Tao will be at large. Even if he dies, he will not be able to rest in peace.
