Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 271 Strategies ([-])

How can the old lady not know what kind of personality her son has. She doesn't trust Lin Song on the surface, but it doesn't mean she really doesn't take it to heart. Now that Du Xiaoyu has exposed this matter, and it also involves the warehouse, the old lady It was only when the wife realized that the matter was so serious that she couldn't help but gloomy.

"That was borrowed from other places." Du Xiaoyu said firmly.

"What?" Lin was greatly surprised, "Where did he borrow so many medicinal materials?"

The old lady didn't expect Guanshi Yao to be so courageous, so she clenched the handle tightly and said in a deep voice, "Do you have evidence? Did you see it with your own eyes?"

"I asked someone to wait at the door when I came yesterday, but as soon as I said I was going to the warehouse, someone went to inform Manager Yao, and he quickly transferred the medicinal materials from the warehouse next door. The quantity is not small at all, which shows that it is early. Just ready, and he should have expected me to do it."

Surprised and angry, Mrs. Lin looked at the old lady and complained, "Mother, this manager Yao simply doesn't think much of our Lin family. He owns the pawnshop! He can come here as he wants, what a scumbag!" White-eyed wolf, mother, you are so kind to him, and he will repay your kindness like this!"

Guanshi Yao is the son of the family, and he served the old lady of the Lin family. Over the years, the old lady has relied on him so much, but she still trusted him wrongly.

She didn't speak for a while, her lips trembled slightly, and she calmed down before asking, "Then what are you going to do?"

Seeing that she was asking herself, Du Xiaoyu knew that the old lady was going to leave the matter to her, so she said, "Steward Yao colluded with the steward who bought the goods in the mansion, and used the money for buying medicinal materials to usury. I don’t know how much money I made by this method, my daughter-in-law thinks he should spit it all out.”

The old lady's eyes flashed, Manager Yao used to be in charge of other shops, and this time he came to Feixian County to take over these two shops. If he had operated like this earlier, I'm afraid I really don't know how many properties he bought.

If he directly arrested and interrogated, he might leave a way out for himself, she nodded thoughtfully.

After a while, the old lady asked someone to invite Manager Yao over.

Guanshi Yao was proud of passing Du Xiaoyu's level with ease. Who would have thought that he would see him again the next day, and he didn't know what happened, so his face was a little nervous.

"Young Madam was praising you just now, saying that you are doing things well and are thoughtful in everything. Don't worry, you are in charge of the shop." The old lady asked Caiyu to reward him with a few large silver ingots.

Guanshi Yao didn't think that he wanted to reward him, so he hurriedly declined, saying that it was his duty and he deserved it.

The old lady smiled and said, "You have been in the Lin family for so many years, and I have seen all your hard work. What are these things? Our Lin family is only able to have the current situation because of people like you. The master used to tell me not to be harsh. My servant, I said that people's hearts are made of flesh, and if you are good to you, you are good to yourself, so that the Lin family can grow stronger."

Hearing these words, Guanshi Yao was extremely uncomfortable, and said in a low voice, "I am ashamed of myself."

"I called you here today and I have something else to do."

Manager Yao said respectfully, "Just as the old lady tells you, the villain will definitely handle it well."

"Xiaoyu, tell me." The old lady leaned back on the jade couch, narrowed her eyes slightly, and Mrs. Lin hurriedly picked up the beauty and beat her legs, while listening with her ears up.

Du Xiaoyu took a sip of tea before slowly saying, "I met a pharmacist not long ago, and his pills are very famous, such as Baoming Pills and Yangshen Pills, which were passed down from his ancestors. I want to hire him to come to the mansion. Anyway, the business of our shop is not very good, if we sell pills, maybe we can open up a new road."

Guanshi Yao didn't know what she wanted to say, but felt a little uneasy, frowned and said, "Young Madam means..."

"I see that many medicinal materials have not been sold in the account book, and there are also warehouses. If you invite that master to come, you can use your own medicinal materials to make medicine for him. You should clean up in the warehouse during this time, and then go buy some goods. Come." Du Xiaoyu took out a list with the names of various herbs written on it.

Manager Yao's face froze. If he hadn't tried his best to hold back, he might have shown his feet.

Those are extremely expensive medicinal materials, which he embezzled money for himself, but it is undeniable that they are indeed precious materials that many pills need to use.

How is it such a coincidence?But at this time to get these medicinal materials, Manager Yao was extremely anxious and panicked, so he sent the bank note to Zhang Papi himself.Who is Zhang Papi, when you give him benefits, you are naturally good friends, but if you go back on your word and harm his interests, you will immediately turn your face and deny anyone!
Manager Yao was secretly anxious, what should we do?If I want these medicinal materials now, I will be in great trouble!

The people in the room saw his reaction, and Du Xiaoyu had a playful smile on his lips, but it quickly disappeared, "Then I don't know when the master will invite you, so I want one or two." Moon, I just let you prepare in advance."

God bless!

Manager Yao finally breathed a sigh of relief, and raised his spirits, "The little man knows, please rest assured, the young lady, the little man will definitely prepare these medicinal materials as soon as possible."

Just take advantage of this time to buy it back. Anyway, it's not known, and Yao Guanshi also laughed.

After leaving the old lady's room, he went to find Manager Luo who was in charge of the comprador, and when he told the story, Manager Luo panicked, "How could this happen?"

"Don't worry, I haven't finished yet." Manager Yao said with a smile, "It's a month or two later, not now, why are you panicking? As long as you go to buy medicinal materials later, you can buy the missing ones by the way." Just make up for those, anyway, they are all from the Huainan area, so I can't find your fault."

"How can there be so much money? It's all in Zhang Papi's place. How dare you ask him for it? The agreed time limit is half a year." Manager Luo was not as relaxed as he was.

Manager Yao had a bit of a headache, "I have to think of a way, don't you know? The old lady even rewarded me today. It will definitely be beneficial if this matter is done. Maybe let me manage Qi Dong's place." The pharmacy next door!"

"That pharmacy is huge." Guanshi Luo's eyes lit up, "Then you really can't miss this time, and you have to fix it anyway." He paused and raised his eyebrows, "Why don't you take a yard over there in He County? Sell ​​it? Temporarily move your concubines, wait for this matter to be covered up, and then buy a better one, your brother is not enjoying the happiness in the gentle village!"

Thinking of those beautiful women, Guanshi Yao's heart agitated, he touched his chin, and said cruelly, "This is the only way, otherwise we won't be able to make it together."

The two walked away after discussing.

In the past few days, Manager Yao met several people in succession, all of whom were his accomplices, but he didn't know that they were all watched by Du Xiaoyu's people, waiting to catch them all.

Li Jin has already found a suitable place to build a workshop. At the same time, Aunt Wu has also found all the needed workers. Hearing that the workshop is about to start operation, all the rich ladies in the county came to Li Jin to place orders. , the most asked for dozens, and the few asked for at least four or five.

There is no real need to buy a quilt here, it is obviously to build a good relationship with the wife of the county owner.

"Look, what should I do?" Li Jin took out a stack of banknotes, "I haven't set a price yet, so I came to order, and said to put the banknotes on the shelf first, and refund any excess."

It was clearly a disguised bribe, and Du Xiaoyu also had a headache. It seemed that it was a mistake to participate in the business in her capacity. If she accepted it, it would bring trouble to Li Yuanqing sooner or later.

"Go back."

"What do you say? Don't you want to do their business?" Li Jin frowned, "Even if it's withdrawn, I'll still buy it in the future. Besides, our silk quilts are mainly sold to these rich people."

"Retire first, at least let them know our attitude." Du Xiaoyu couldn't think of any solution for the time being, anyway, he had left Zhang for a while, so he changed the topic, "If you're in a quilt, I think it's good to cooperate with Hongxiufang. With the silk quilt, the quilt cover should also be light and soft, but it takes a lot of effort to embroider on it, what do you think?"

The embroidery of Hongxiufang is the only one in the county, so Li Jin naturally has nothing to object to.

"Next time, you go talk to Mrs. Wan." In view of the early order of the silk quilt this time, she learned a lesson, and it is better for Li Jin to come forward for everything in the future.

Li Jin responded, and then asked, "Have you found out what happened to Sun Xiaoshan?" He was still worried. Although Sun Xiaoshan had recovered, the murderer behind the scenes was still not found.

Du Xiaoyu shook his head, "It's hard to investigate. He saw that he ate so much that day, and he didn't know where he was poisoned. How can he interrogate others without evidence? Besides, the two businessmen didn't make any changes, maybe I don’t know if it’s none of their business, anyway, I’ve told him not to wander around, and even if he goes out, let two people follow him.”

The two talked about the details for a while, and then Li Jin left.

Du Xiaoyu asked Qingzhu to bring some things from the warehouse. There was a set of Ten Scenes colored inks from Linxi. The colors were vivid and made by famous masters. There was a red coral bonsai from the deep sea, which was as clear as clear water. Transparent jasper bracelets, and extremely magnificent brocade...

There are so many beautiful things on the table, it is dazzling to see.

"Not yet selected?" Li Yuanqing just came back from the yamen.

The two maids had already developed a habit. As long as he came back, they would definitely not want them to stay in the room anymore, so they retreated tactfully.

"I'm waiting for you to help me choose." She stood up and helped him take off his official uniform.

It's uncomfortable to wear an official uniform in this weather, and it's often stuffy and sweaty. She couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, "Can't I suggest to my superiors to change into something lighter?"

Li Yuanqing laughed and pinched her face, "Hey, only my own wife feels sorry for her, who cares about these things, even thicker clothes can't bear it, it will only provoke criticism from others."

What can those people say other than being pedantic?As if wearing thick clothes in summer can show that he can suffer, Du Xiaoyu shook his head and asked the maids outside to prepare water, "What do you think is good?"

Li Yuanqing glanced at it, then tapped the colored ink and brocade, "That's all."

It is appropriate to give colored ink to Zhang Zhuoyu and beautiful brocade to Wan Fanglin. Du Xiaoyu smiled, "Okay, I will wait for you to come back tomorrow, and we will go to Wanfu together."
