Chapter 278
"You've been managing the accounts? That's easy. After all, the whereabouts of this account is unknown. Tell me what's going on." Jin Changying asked lightly.

"This... the county owner, the small one is just in charge of the account book. The small one can record the expenses of the cloth shop, and the small one doesn't know the amount..." As he said, the accountant turned his eyes to the shopkeeper next to him. Glancing over, he obviously knew something, but he didn't dare to say it.

The shopkeeper was more frightened than the accountant. He knelt at Jin Changying's feet and his legs were shaking. His face was sweating like rain. Big beads of sweat dripped down one after another. He felt the accountant's excitement. The shopkeeper looked more nervous and trembled more violently.

Naturally, Jin Changying didn't miss the little tricks of the two of them, and she winked at Zitang. Zitang understood, and brought a chair over for Jin Changying. Jin Changying sat down on the chair, adjusted her posture again, and looked for Sitting in the most comfortable position, he looked at the two of them leisurely, "Tell me, what's going on, I think you two have heard of my method, and it's still too late for me to do it, the county lord might be in a good mood, I'll let you go."

Jin Changying still had to sigh that the original owner's brutal reputation was really useful, no, she just opened her mouth to speak, and the two kneeling on the ground shook like chaff.

"County... the county magistrate, please spare me, the younger one, just say it, the younger one just say it, please let the county magistrate hold your hand high, let the younger one go..." The shopkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead, and spoke to Jin in a trembling voice. Changying said.

Jin Changying was a little surprised. She hasn't questioned her much yet, so this is the trick?

"Tell me, I want to hear how you embezzled my 5000 taels of silver. I have to say, you shopkeeper Wu, you have a really big appetite. You can swallow 5000 taels of silver whenever you want. Is it possible for you? Aren't you afraid of being choked to death?" Jin Changying clicked her tongue and said in wonder, she has never seen such a stupid person. If you want to talk about corruption, make it more subtle, maybe she won't be able to find it. Shopkeeper Wu made such a big hole in one go, so that It's hard for Jin Changying not to find out!
"Mingjian, the county lord...the 5000 taels of silver are really not embezzled by villains, this is...this is..." The shopkeeper looked sad, and glanced at Fu Zhuo behind Jin Changying, then lowered his head and shook his body I dare not say any more.

Jin Changying noticed that he glanced behind him, turned around and saw Fu Zhuo standing behind, Jin Changying's face turned cold, and said to Fu Zhuo: "Fu Zhuo, I want to explain in advance that this is your own shop. In fact, how you like to use your own assets has nothing to do with me, and I just do my duty as a wife to help you take care of your shop temporarily, and how you want to spend it is your business."

"Ma'am... I..." Fu Zhuo was dumbfounded by Jin Changying's words, and then looked at shopkeeper Wu who was kneeling on the ground shaking, knowing that Jin Changying had misunderstood, thinking that the account book was short, It was him who embezzled the money from the cloth village.

Fu Zhuo opened his mouth to explain to Jin Changying, but Jin Changying was still angry with him about the incident in the carriage just now, and didn't want to hear Fu Zhuo's sophistry here, Jin Changying raised his hand to interrupt Fu Zhuo's words, and changed the subject He said: "However, Jixiang Buzhuang, since you entrusted me to manage it, then it is in my hands, and I am responsible, so I have the right to know the whereabouts of every penny of it. Misappropriation of money will cause me much trouble, do you know?"

"Madam, I never went to Jixiang Cloth to pay the bill, and I don't know why I lost a sum of money, Madam, I..." Fu Zhuo looked at Jin Changying innocently.

"You didn't pay the bill?" Jin Changying frowned, then looked at the shopkeeper Wu who was kneeling on the ground, and asked in a cold voice: "What's going on, I warn you, my patience has a limit, you'd better stand Just tell me honestly, otherwise, I can't guarantee..."

"County lord... County lord, the little one... the little one dare not say..." Shopkeeper Wu replied in a tearful voice, begging Jin Changying for mercy without tears, "County lord, please spare me, the little one really dare not Say, say, I'm afraid the little one will die..."

Jin Changying snorted coldly, stood up from the chair with a bang, and said: "If you don't say it now, you will die soon. If you don't say it today, I will be charged with corruption. See you in the government." With that said, Jin Changying raised his voice to call for someone to take the Accountant and Shopkeeper Wu to the yamen.

"County Master! County Master, spare me! Just say it!" Seeing the guards breaking out of the door, Mr. Accountant was about to be dragged away. Mr. Accountant hurriedly persuaded shopkeeper Wu, "If you don't say anything, let's just talk about it!" Really dead!"

"I'll tell you, County Lord! I'll tell you!" Shopkeeper Wu panicked and said quickly as he was about to be twisted and sent to the government.

Jin Changying raised his hand to stop the guards from moving, looked coldly at the two kneeling on the ground, and said, "Speak."

"Actually... Actually, this account..." Shopkeeper Wu knelt on the ground, said a few words, then looked up at Ye Wozhai behind Jin Changying, and then immediately lowered his head.

Just now shopkeeper Wu gave Fu Zhuo the same look, and then immediately lowered his head, Jin Changying frowned, Fu Zhuo clearly said that he had not paid the bill, even if Fu Zhuo went to Jixiang Cloth to get the silver, he took it as soon as he took it, Jixiang Cloth Shop was his shop, and he only took 5000 taels of silver. There was nothing wrong with it. Fu Zhuo had no reason not to admit it.

Fu Zhuo obviously also realized that there was something fishy in this. Seeing Shopkeeper Wu's unusual behavior, he said slowly to Shopkeeper Wu: "You can say whatever you say, I won't blame you, don't worry."

When Shopkeeper Wu heard Fu Zhuo's words, he seemed to take a reassurance. He raised his head and repeated: "This matter really has nothing to do with Xiao Xiao, and Xiao Xiao doesn't want to do it."

"Okay, stop whining, just say what you have, if you don't say it, I won't listen, then if you want to say it again, just go to the county government to say it." Jin Changying threatened impatiently .

Shopkeeper Wu was very frightened by Jin Changying, fearing that Jin Changying would send him to the county government, he hurriedly told the truth like beans in a bamboo tube.

It turned out that the shortfall of 5000 taels of silver was not at all caused by someone in the cloth village being corrupted, nor was it caused by the poor management of the cloth village, but was man-made.

And this person, Jin Changying is no stranger to him, she is Fu Yunfang, the eldest daughter of Yue Wangfu.

Fu Yunfang went to Jixiang Cloth Shop to pick up cloth a few days ago, and picked out the two best pieces of cloth from the cloth shop. However, she was not prepared to pay for it. She even called it credit and told the shopkeeper that someone would send money later.

However, after Jin Changying accepted the auspicious cloth shop, the cloth shop did not allow customers to pay on credit, unless there was a note written by Jin Changying himself, otherwise the cloth shop would not allow credit.

So the shopkeeper refused to let Fu Yunfang take the two pieces of cloth away, but Fu Yunfang was annoyed. Fu Yunfang claimed that this auspicious cloth village was originally the property of the Yue Palace. So what if I took two pieces of cloth, and then people took the two pieces of cloth away without any explanation.
