Da Song Private Investigator

Chapter 397 Marriage to save fast.

After listening to Lin Shouye's answer, Bao Zheng smiled lightly again and asked, "Really good?"

Lin Shouye nodded: "How dare I lie about this, Moyanzhai is the largest inkstone shop in Duanzhou, this is an indisputable fact."

Bao Zheng glanced at Lin Shouye, and suddenly his tone became a little more serious, and he said: "How come I heard that the business of your Moyanzhai has not been very good in the past few years, and there is a tendency to be overtaken by Tang Fengzhai, isn't it so? ?”

Lin Shouye was startled, and quickly replied: "Where did Mr. Bao hear these rumors? It is absolutely impossible. My Moyanzhai business is booming, and it is definitely not what the rumors say."

Bao Zheng snorted coldly, and said, "Then can I let the officer take a look at your account books?"

"What is Mr. Bao doing with the account books?" Lin Shouye was a little cautious and stern.

Bao Zheng stared and said, "I can't see it?"

Lin Shouye shook his head again and again: "There, I can see it, I can see it, and I will take it for you."

Not long after, Lin Shouye brought a stack of account books. After Bao Zheng, Gongsun Cehualang and others checked it, they immediately discovered the problem. Let alone the fact that the income of Moyanzhai has decreased greatly in the past few years, it is There are several places where money goes in strangely and goes out strangely.

For example, there is an inkstone, and someone actually bought it for 1 taels of silver. Although the Duanzhou inkstone is famous, it is really rare to buy an inkstone for 1 taels, and even if it is a tribute inkstone, It can't be sold at this price.

Of course, this is just an entry, and the exit is even more strange. It is recorded in the account book that one day, a piece of inkstone was brought into the shop, and it cost 2 taels of silver.

If a piece of inkstone costs 2 taels, then if the carved inkstone is sold, it may cost more than 2 taels, right?

This is also a strange place, because as far as Hwarang knows, the mining of inkstones, especially the mining of tribute inkstones, is managed by the imperial court, and only a small part is mined by the people of Duanzhou. The inkstones here are very common, and if you want to mine 2 taels of inkstone, the chances are really slim.

Under such circumstances, how could he spend so much money to buy this inkstone at Moyanzhai?

After Bao Zheng told all these things one by one, Lin Shouye's forehead suddenly broke out in cold sweat, and his face changed several times.

Bao Zheng, Hua Lang and others looked at Lin Shouye, waiting for his answer.

After a long time, Lin Shouye had no choice but to say: "Master Bao is right. The business of Moyanzhai is indeed not as good as before. This... the deficit in the account books is also true."

Bao Zheng nodded slightly and asked, "Does your father know about this?"

Lin Shouye nodded: "He knows."

"Then what does he think of it?"

"I don't have any opinion!"

Bao Zheng, Hua Lang and the others were startled. If Lin Shan knew that Moyanzhai had become like this under Lin Shouye's hands, how could he have no idea?Moyanzhai was his whole life's effort, if he lost like this, wouldn't he want to die of heartache?

Could it be that Lin Shouye said this because he was afraid that Bao Zheng and Hua Lang would suspect him as the murderer?

Bao Zheng frowned slightly, his eyes were more white than black, and said: "Don't lie to me, how could it be that Lin Shan didn't have any opinion on this matter?"

Lin Shouye seemed a little hesitant, and he said after a long time: "The old man really can't have any opinions, because when he handed over this ink inkstone studio to me, the business was already like this, and the money, too. The old man took it himself, and I dare not use more than one cent."

When everyone heard this, they couldn't believe it was true. How could this be possible?

They thought that Lin Shouye was responsible for everything in Moyanzhai, but now they found out that Lin Shan himself caused it. If this is the case, Lin Shouye is not suspected?

But why did Lin Shan spend so much money?

Bao Zheng's thoughts were a little messed up, as if he couldn't accept such a big change for a while, so at this moment, Hua Lang asked, "What's going on here? Why did Mr. Lin spend so much money?"

Lin Shouye sighed, and said: "I don't know about this either. The Mo Yanzhai is the result of his hard work. I can't ask what he does with the money. In the end, I have to let it go. It's just that the old man With so much money spent in unknown places, the cash flow in this store has become a problem, and it is somewhat difficult for Moyanzhai to continue to operate normally."

For the problem of capital turnover in business, Hwarang naturally understands more than Lin Shouye, so he understands Lin Shouye's situation very well, but at this time, Hwarang continued to ask: "Before Mr. Lin was killed, what did you do?" Did he take a lot of money from Moyanzhai?"

Lin Shouye nodded: "Yes, the old man takes the money from here almost every month."

"I think Lin's family is very powerful. Could it be that the family is out of money, so they want to get money from Moyanzhai?" Hwa Lang continued to ask.

Lin Shouye seemed to be at a loss for words, and said: "There is not much money left in the family. Some of them are some antiques, calligraphy and painting inkstones, but these need to be sold, but my father is very fond of these antique calligraphy and paintings, especially the inkstones, and he can't bear to sell them. So I had no choice but to take the money from Moyanzhai."

This is another kind of helplessness.

So after asking this question, Hwarang suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Do you have any intention of marrying your daughter to Tang Wanli of Tang Fengzhai?"

Lin Shouye was even more helpless, nodded and said: "There is no way. If this continues, my Moyanzhai will collapse sooner or later. If I can marry Tang Fengzhai, my Moyanzhai may be able to escape."

But after Lin Shouye finished speaking, Hua Lang suddenly said, "Maybe there is another way to save your Mo Yan Zhai."

Lin Shouye was startled, and quickly asked, "What way?"

Hwarang smiled coldly: "Kill Lin Shan."

As soon as this sentence came out, not only Lin Shouye was surprised, but Wen Meng and Yin Wucuo who were standing by were also extremely surprised. Bao Zheng was the boss with staring eyes. He didn't understand why Hua Lang said such a sentence suddenly.

Hwarang seemed to expect that everyone didn't understand what he meant by this sentence, so he immediately explained: "The reason why Moyanzhai is not doing well is because of the shortage of funds, but if Mr. Lin no longer takes money from Moyanzhai, Then, can this Moyanzhai be able to continue to operate? As long as Mr. Lin dies, the antique calligraphy and paintings collected by Mr. Lin can be sold off slowly. In this way, the Moyanzhai may be able to come back to life Bar?"

As Hwarang said so, he focused his gaze on Lin Shouye.
