Chapter 568
"Treasurer Cui, can you tell me where the 650 taels of silver went last month?"

Zhen Zhen suddenly spoke without warning, which shocked everyone present!
Ning Bo raised his eyebrows slightly. If he remembered correctly, he asked the shopkeepers to send this account book yesterday!It's only been a day since Zhen Zhen notified them earlier that it was noon today, and he felt a faint feeling in his heart, and now he was even more shocked when he heard her words!

This girl, it's only been a while, and she's actually figured it out!Ning Bo heard from Ding Guogong that this girl went out to do business at a young age, and she shouldered the burden of the whole family by herself. From this, it can be seen that this child is very capable!
Even Wei's mother beside Ning Bo couldn't help but take a deep look at Zhen Zhen!She doesn't like Zhen Zhen, even if she showed her hand yesterday, she still thinks that their fourth young master married a vulgar woman from the countryside!

But now she took another look at her, this woman is really smart, but I don't know if she is so smart, can she still be able to control the dozen shopkeepers who live there!
The shopkeeper Cui named by Zhen Zhen is a middle-aged man in his 40s, perhaps with a big heart and a fat body, with a big belly bulging between his waist and abdomen!

His temple hair seems to be a lot bald, which looks a little funny!Now being called by Zhen Zhen, he was very calm. Although he was shocked in his heart, being able to manage the shop in Kyoto for more than ten years shows that this person's concentration is still very good!
"Fourth madam, what are you talking about, more than 600 taels? I don't understand what you said!" Shopkeeper Cui lowered his head. Because of Ning Bo's presence, he didn't show his disdain for Zhen Zhen so clearly!
"Oh?" She had already guessed Cui's reaction, so Zhen Zhen was not surprised at all!
"Treasurer Cui, if I remember correctly, you are in charge of a restaurant! You wrote on it that the purchase last month was a total of 480 taels. After deducting wages of 220 taels, the surplus last month was 17 taels." Two or six taels, you told me that you made 600 taels last month, then tell me what you used for the remaining [-] taels!"

Zhen Zhen's words almost made shopkeeper Cui kneel down!

Every number mentioned by the Fourth Madam is accurate, even down to the next few dollars!It can be seen that she is not so easy to be fooled, he has already made false accounts, why did she still find out?
A drop of sweat couldn't help sliding down his forehead, Cui even forgot to wipe it off!In this warm room, he felt a chill!

Shopkeeper Ning Bo knows this!This is not the main industry of their Ning family, it can be said to be Ning Baozhu's temporary interest!Later, in order to support the Ning family, they had to use the Jing family's relationship to maintain this shop!
In their house, Ning Baozhu occasionally visited this shop once or twice, and it was basically in an unattended position!In this way, it is inevitable that some people will have thoughts that they shouldn't have!
And what Shi Qiaoqiao thought was that she had visited this shop before!The location is excellent, at a crossroad of Chang'an Avenue, very prosperous!
The location of this shop is so good, it only makes more than 1000 taels of silver every month, and more than 600 taels of silver went into the pocket of the shopkeeper, she couldn't help but feel sorry just thinking about it!
"Fourth Madam, you have to prove it! Although you say you are a serious master, I have been working as a cow and a horse for the Ning family for more than ten years, and I can't end up being framed!" Shopkeeper Cui Gritting his teeth, he said, if the sweat on his forehead was ignored, the effect would be better!
"Cui shopkeeper, do you think I can't recognize the account book? I'm not afraid to tell you the truth, I opened a shop when I was 12 years old, and the account book... I've been playing badly for a long time! You think you can make a fake account and weigh me Don’t you understand? Humph! Let me tell you, if you want to rely on the old and sell the old in Ningfu, you have to see if you have the capital!” Zhen Zhen stood up, step by step, with a cold tone, and went straight into Cui’s shopkeeper’s words. mind!
"Impossible!" Shopkeeper Cui's first thought was that it was impossible. He had given her all the account books for these years, and it was only a day, so she couldn't have figured it out!

"Huh! Shopkeeper Cui is a master who doesn't cry until he sees the coffin! I'll let you be a fool!" Zhen Zhen originally wanted to save him some face. Silver, there is still a little bit of conscience left!However, since he is so ignorant, I don't have to show him face!
"Last and last month, the shop received a total of 320 eight taels, excluding wages and purchases..."

"Last month, the total income of the shop was 110 taels, excluding wages and purchases..."

"..."

Zhen Zhen didn't say a word, Cui's body couldn't help but tremble once, and in the end, he went limp and sat down on the ground!
Zhen Zhen looked at him coldly, and threw the account book of the restaurant in front of him, "Over the years, you have embezzled a total of tens of thousands of taels of silver! My eldest sister sees that you have worked for the Ning family for so many years and have not exposed you. Do you really think she really doesn't know? Hmph, you are a small shopkeeper with 10,000+ taels, how dare you say that I wronged you?"

Shopkeeper Cui saw that he couldn't hide anymore, he almost crawled to Zhen Zhen's feet, "Fourth Madam, Fourth Madam, I didn't do it on purpose, I didn't, please forgive me!"

Everyone knows that the Duke of Dingguo's family started with martial arts. When encountering this kind of thing, they do the most. Naturally, they can solve it with force. Even in Ning Baozhu, this is often the case!That's why shopkeeper Cui was frightened and hurriedly begged for mercy!

"Now I will give you two ways. One, I will take you to the Yamen in Kyoto. When the time comes, the Yamen will return the money you have embezzled to us! Second, you should go back and return the money you have embezzled." , we’ll just expose this matter, but I want you to sign and sign, if you dare to do this again in the future, this lady will stop thinking about the old relationship and hand you over to the yamen directly!”

Shopkeeper Cui hesitated!Over the years, he has been greedy for so much money, and now he is asked to pay it back all at once, where can he collect the money?Isn't this bullying him?But Zhen Zhen gave him two paths, neither of which was easy to walk!He has been greedy for ink so much, if he is handed over to the yamen, he will suffer a serious crime!But if he didn't go to the yamen for so much money, he wouldn't be able to get it out for a while!
In addition, seeing this scene, more than a dozen shopkeepers couldn't help shrinking their necks, trying to reduce their sense of existence as much as possible!
"Now, shopkeeper Cui, can you tell me which path you choose?"

"Fourth Madam, me, where can I collect the 10,000+ taels of silver? You are killing me, I might as well enter the yamen!"
