Chapter 248
Seeing Pei Songzhi, Steward Sun was still very polite, and said respectfully, "Boss Pei, this is our routine inspection here, and it's fine. You just need to sit here for a while, and you'll be fine."

Pei Songzhi smiled, and indeed found a remote place to sit down. He originally wanted to secretly throw away the two pearls on his cuffs when no one was paying attention. , just stood by Pei Songzhi's side, chatting with each other, let the whole Pei Songzhi neither stand nor sit, and only greeted the eighteen generations of the grandson's ancestors in his heart.

Although the inventory is cumbersome, after all, Steward Sun brought twice as many people this time as compared to the previous ones. They counted together in groups of two, and in less than half an hour, all the accounts had been counted.

When Steward Sun took the account details from the inventory, Pei Songzhi only felt that his mind was blank at the moment.He wished he could turn into a fierce tiger right now, rush up and eat the account book...
It's a pity that this can only be imagined. Steward Sun squinted at the account book for a long time, then turned to Pei Songzhi and said apologetically, "Boss Pei, there is a big discrepancy in this amount in this inventory, this, If you don't explain it, I won't be able to explain it to the shopkeeper!"

Pei Songzhi took the account with trembling hands, which clearly marked how much silverware was missing, how much goldware was missing, and how much pearls, emeralds, agates, and corals were missing.

Although Pei Songzhi took it smoothly during this period of time, his mind was not confused. At least he took a few of them, and he still remembered clearly how much he took of each.

The accounts are accurate, some of the missing things have been sent to the pawnshop for silver, and some have not been sold, and they are now rolled up under their own bedding at home!
Now how to do?To deny or admit?
If he denies it, he is directly responsible for the management of the warehouse, and he goes in and out of the warehouse every day, even if he does not take what is missing, he cannot escape this responsibility.

If you admit it...
Pei Songzhi gritted his teeth, he must never admit it!

Denying it would be a crime of dereliction of duty at most, if admitting it, it would be self-stealing. Can the eldest brother forgive himself this time?
Pei Songzhi settled down, and looked up with a blank expression on his face: "Brother Sun, I don't know about this. I patrol the warehouse every day, and I really didn't find it. How could there be so much less?"

He purposely scanned all the craftsmen and stewards sitting in the hall in panic, and said in a panic: "Brother Sun, you also know that I haven't been here for a long time, and I don't know much about the rules here. How could these things be lost? Could it be that the masters lost them while working?"

A look of disdain and sarcasm flashed across Guanshi Sun's eyes, but it was well concealed in his eyes, and he said with a half-hearted smile: "Master Pei, this inlay work is indeed wear-and-tear, but it can't be said that a pearl is round and jade-like. Pearls were inlaid on the golden hairpin, but the golden hairpin was inlaid by mistake, right? Taking another step back, even if the gold hairpin is accidentally carved and broken, can’t it still be melted and re-refined? It can’t be said that the hairpin turned into a puddle of water after melting, right? Let’s talk about other corals, agate jade, etc., even if they are broken into slag, we have to see the slag on the report to speak, and it disappeared out of thin air. , isn't there something tricky in it?"

Pei Songzhi was teased by his words, his face turned blue and then turned pale. Steward Sun smiled coldly, "Since the steward can't explain why there are so many things missing in the warehouse, we have no choice but to go to the shopkeeper to answer."

He beckoned, and two people came up immediately: "Come on, let's take Guanshi Pei to meet the big shopkeeper together. If Guanshi Pei can prove his innocence in front of the big shopkeeper, then brother, I will make an apology to you .”

Those two people were about to come up to pull Pei Songzhi, Pei Songzhi was immediately annoyed, he couldn't care less about it when he got angry, he waved his palm to each of the two boys' faces, and said angrily: "What are you guys?" , How dare you come to drag me? Do you know who I am? I am the younger brother of your shopkeeper!"

As soon as the words fell, I heard two crisp "ding dong" slamming to the ground.

Immediately everyone fell silent, followed the sound and cast their gazes over in unison.

I saw two round and jade-like pearls bouncing on the ground a few times, and Gululu took advantage of the trend and rolled a few times on the ground, and did not move.

The two boys who received two slaps from Pei Songzhi were also shrewd. They exchanged glances, rushed over, picked up the two pearls one by one, and handed them to Steward Sun.

Pei Songzhi's complexion is no longer blue and red but pale.

Everyone could clearly see that these two pearls flew out of his body, so how else could they explain it?
Guanshi Sun sneered again and again, shaking the two pearls in his hand, "Guanshi Pei, you don't need to explain anything to me now, let's go."

When Steward Sun came to Pei Songmao with the ashen-faced Pei Songzhi, and offered the two pearls with both hands, Pei Songmao was so angry that he couldn't say a word.

What is stealing and reaping?

That's it for now.Originally, Pei Songmao thought that maybe his subordinates were wrong, and if he gave Pei Songzhi another chance, if nothing was found out this time, he would turn a blind eye.

I didn't expect such a big discrepancy in the account, and there were these two big pearls as stolen goods, how would he explain it now?

Pei Songmao stared at Pei Songzhi fiercely: "What do you say?"

Pei Songzhi said tremblingly, "Brother...I'm really nervous"

Pei Songmao scolded angrily: "Nervous? You also have a salary of ten taels of silver a month. Where did you spend it? Do you know that ten taels of silver is enough for ordinary people to eat and drink for two years! Do you still think it's too little?" ?"

Pei Songzhi couldn't help but slander: "Of course not, you earn tens of thousands of taels of silver a month, but you only give me ten taels of silver, how can it be enough?"

But in his mouth he begged: "Brother, I know I was wrong, please forgive me this time! I really dare not next time."

Pei Songmao snorted coldly: "What about the rest?"

Pei Songzhi said helplessly: "Some flowers have been used, and some are hidden under the bedding at home."

Pei Songmao said to Guanshi Sun: "You take two people to my house and bring back all those things."

Steward Sun agreed and turned around quickly.

Pei Songmao looked at Pei Songzhi, who was heartbroken, and was so annoyed that he almost wanted to kick him hard.

He said sadly: "Song Zhi! You are already a big man, if this continues, what should you do?"
