Chapter 247

The shopkeepers of more than a dozen shops were quickly brought over by Qian Butou.

Seeing Feng Yehang present and Yang Hanlin sitting aside, the shopkeepers didn't panic.

"I've met you, my lord!" Several people walked to the middle and saluted Lin Yi.

"As shopkeepers, you make false accounts and exchange false ones for real ones, what should you do?" Lin Yi asked sharply after confirming their identities.

"I am wronged! We did not make false accounts, please be aware of it." Everyone refused to admit the fraud, and all knelt down and cried out for injustice.

A sneer twitched at the corner of Yang's lips, Feng Jiuxiao, an idiot, thought that calling these shopkeepers would be able to ask questions, but knowing that these shopkeepers belonged to her father, how could she betray them.

Seeing that the shopkeepers were all so "smart", Feng Yehang and Yang Hanlin both heaved a sigh of relief.

Yang Hanlin looked at Feng Jiuxiao disdainfully. He heard that this little girl had beaten his two daughters to shame. He wanted to see what she was capable of today.

Seeing that the shopkeeper refused to admit it, Lin Yi frowned in embarrassment.

With so many nobles around, it's not easy for him to use torture. If he hits him with a stick casually, he might be labeled as a trick of torture by the Prime Minister.

"My lord, can I ask my daughter-in-law to ask a few questions?" Feng Jiuxiao glanced at the shopkeepers and cupped his hands.

"Of course, the princess can ask the question on his own." Lin Yi quickly nodded in agreement, and then warned the shopkeepers, "You must answer truthfully."

"Yes." Several people agreed together.

Feng Jiuxiao glanced at the dozen or so people, and finally landed on the most familiar person: "Are you the clock shopkeeper of Youranbuzhuang?"

"Young Zhong Yuanping has met the eldest lady." Shopkeeper Zhong immediately saluted.

"As the shopkeeper of Youran Cloth, you should know how much the store can sell in a month." Feng Jiuxiao asked very casually.

"Of course, it's in the account book." Shopkeeper Zhong answered rigorously.

"Then how much coarse cloth and fine cotton were sold in the store last month?" Feng Jiuxiao asked with raised eyebrows.

Because coarse cloth and fine cotton are the most commonly used, Feng Jiuxiao asked about them.

Shopkeeper Zhong immediately became vigilant, and after thinking for a while, he replied: "There are about 1000 taels of coarse cloth, and more than 600 bolts of fine cotton."

Hearing the promise, Feng Jiuxiao sneered in his heart, these two ledgers were all from him, it's hard for him to remember so clearly and not mix them up.

"Then how much coarse cloth and fine cotton did you import last month?" Feng Jiuxiao asked the question again, her voice was no longer as casual as before, but rather cold.

Shopkeeper Zhong did not dare to relax at all, and thought for a while and said: "I bought [-] bolts of coarse cloth, and [-] bolts of fine cotton."

Feng Jiuxiao sneered, took a step forward and said, "Master Zhong has to think about it, whether it's this number or not, don't remember it wrong."

Feng Jiuxiao's fierce aura instantly shook shopkeeper Zhong into a cold sweat, and his originally calm heart began to panic at this moment.

The others were also staring at Shopkeeper Zhong closely, waiting for his answer.

Both Yang Hanlin and Feng Yehang frowned, and even became nervous.

Shopkeeper Zhong thought and thought, and finally said: "Your memory is correct, it is indeed this number, and it is in the ledger. If Missy doesn't believe it, you can check it in the ledger."

"Really?" Feng Jiuxiao snorted coldly, and stared sharply at Shopkeeper Zhong, "How does this princess remember that you bought [-] bolts of coarse cloth and [-] bolts of fine cotton last month?"
