pungent peasant girl

Chapter 67

"What else can I be busy with? I'm busy with my duties." Meng Qianyan sighed and sat down beside Luo Ziyan, "I went to check the accounts in the accounting room, but I didn't find any problems at all. "

Luo Ziyan already understood Meng Qianyan, "If there is really no problem, why would you check?"

"That's right, I just think something is wrong with Sanfang, but I have checked all the accounts one by one, and I can't see any mistakes at all. It's just that your elder sister spends the most money every month. I don't believe it, you Sister is not such a luxurious person at all."

Hearing this, Luo Ziyan frowned slightly. Indeed, although Luo Ziting often acted like a young lady, she was not a person who liked extravagance.

"Aunt Sister will not be the one who spends the most money, I'm afraid something is not her account added to her account."

"Yes, I think so too. But those accounts are really neat and tidy, and there is no problem with the amount. I have calculated it with an abacus, and it is really true."

Hearing this, Luo Ziting's eyes suddenly sank, "Qianyan, are you sure those accounts are in order?"

"Yeah, it's unbelievably clean..." Meng Qianyan stopped suddenly when he said this.No, this is the account of the family. The accounts of the family are all miscellaneous. How could there be no trace of modification.

Unless it is said that these account books are not the original account books at all?

She stood up all of a sudden, "Ziyan, no, I have to continue to check this account, I don't believe that there is no problem with this account. Even if the previous account book was too messy and I copied a new one, then the old account should be Will you still have roots?"

She said and was about to go outside.

Luo Ziyan followed her, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to the cashier."

"I'll accompany you."

Luo Ziyan and Meng Qianyan left the Jingxuan Building all the way, heading towards the accountant's room.At this time, there was a sudden smell of something being burned in the air.

"No, let's hurry up." Luo Ziyan's heart sank, and he and Meng Qianyan quickened their pace.

Before they had reached the yard of the register, they heard the noise and confusion.

It was the housekeeper's voice, "Hurry up and carry the water, why are you still standing there, this is the warehouse, if it is burned, how can you explain to the lady and the young master!"

"What's going on with the housekeeper?" Meng Qianyan rushed in, only to see countless housekeepers carrying water in and out, and the counting room she was in an hour ago was now surrounded by raging fire.

The housekeeper stomped his feet anxiously, "Oh, Second Young Madam, it's flooded. For some reason, the warehouse caught fire all of a sudden, and even the counting room... Hey, come, come, the fire in the counting house is also gone!" It must be extinguished immediately."

The housekeeper became more and more anxious, and then he simply joined them to fight the fire.

Bucket after bucket of well water was poured into the warehouse and accounting room.

And when the fire was brought under control, it was already dark, and there were still some small flames that were flickering, reflected in Luo Ziyan's dark eyes.

Meng Qianyan took a deep breath, and looked around again, only to see that the fire was almost extinguished, and the warehouse was not damaged because the structure was strong enough, but the entire house collapsed in the accounting room, and everything inside was destroyed. reduced to ashes.

Mrs. Wu had already been alarmed, and she came here accompanied by a group of maidservants. She looked at the burnt accountant with deep eyes, and opened her mouth angrily, "Where's Zhang Xing?"

"Little is here!"

Zhang Xing threw himself in front of Wu Shi, rolling and crawling.

"How is this going?"

"Ma'am, it's the little one's fault. It's the little one who didn't take care of the accountant."

Meng Qianyan stepped forward and said: "Zhang accountant, I just came to the accountant room this afternoon, but I left only an hour ago, and the accountant room was set on fire, isn't this too coincidental?"

She was as angry as Wu Shi, and she even suspected that Zhang Xing had started the fire.

But Zhang Xing was now covered in sweat and dust, and the corners of his clothes were also scorched because he had been in contact with the flames. He had been fighting the fire desperately, and it didn't look like he was pretending.

"Second young lady, you, are you suspicious of the young one? The fire was really not set by the young one. After the second young lady left, the young one locked the door and went out. If the second young lady doesn't believe it , you can ask the housekeeper, the housekeeper saw the little one go out."

"Is it true?" Meng Qianyan looked at the butler with sharp eyes.

"That's right, Second Young Madam, this counting room did catch fire after going out." The housekeeper testified.

Hearing this, Meng Qianyan was a little confused. Did the fire really have nothing to do with Zhang Xing, or did he deliberately try to create an alibi?

When he couldn't figure it out, Luo Ziyan had already said, "Zhang accountant, no matter how this fire happened, you cannot escape the responsibility."

"Yes, yes, what the second young master said is true." Zhang Xing nodded in fear.

"Then I'll give you two days to make a new account from the previous important accounts. However, you don't need to take care of this account from now on. It just so happens that the second young lady has nothing to do. From now on, the Luo family will The second young lady is in charge of all the accounts. After you finish the final account book, you will leave the Luo family."

"Yes, the little one understands, the little one can't escape the blame, and the little one is willing to be punished."

"As for the aftermath and investigation, the housekeeper will be in charge." After Luo Ziyan finished speaking, he looked at Wu Shi and Meng Qianyan, "Mother, it's getting late, and it's time for us to have dinner."

On the dinner table, there were delicious meals, but none of the people who ate them had the intention of eating.It was a surprise that something like this happened at home.

"How could it catch fire? The accounting room has been fine for 20 years." Luo Ziting poked the rice in the bowl with his chopsticks, very worried.

"I don't think it's that simple." Meng Qianyan frowned, "There has been no problem for 20 years, but it happened when I went to check the accounts. Is there such a coincidence in the world?"

"But when the account room caught fire, Zhang account room was not there." Wu hesitated.

Luo Ziyan said softly: "He is not here, it only means that he was not the one who lit the fire, but it doesn't mean that this fire has nothing to do with him."

Luo Ziting suddenly realized, "That's right, so this line is still doubtful. Then the most important thing next is to find evidence that there is a problem with the accounts, or the real person who set the fire before we can draw a conclusion."

Meng Qianyan denied it, "That would be too troublesome, if we can't find out all the time, should we just let it go?"

"Do you have other ideas?" Luo Ziting looked at her, not trusting her too much.

Meng Qianyan narrowed his eyes, and looked at Luo Ziting with a light smile, "There is a way, but I'm not sure if it will work, or else, Sister, I'll leave this task to you."

"What kind of mission is it?"

Meng Qianyan got up, sat next to Luo Ziting, and then whispered into her ear.
