Chapter 1741 Sick Beauty 31

Su Yan casually arranged for the two shopkeepers and let the other shopkeepers continue.

At this time, everyone felt a little guilty, thinking that if they said something bad, their jobs would be lost.

The shopkeepers behind him immediately became much more honest, but their words were also very exaggerated.

Su Yan kept smiling and didn't interrupt them.

This happened to several people in a row. Wait until they finish speaking.

Su Yancai instructed Xiao Cui, "The shopkeepers I just introduced don't have any major problems. It's just that some of the accounts aren't calculated very clearly. I have a reconciliation statement for you guys. I'll call out your names and you can come and collect it."

"Su Ji Fenghuang Lou, Su Ji Xian Tian Xia, Su Ji Shu Zhai, Su Ji Pork Shop, Su Ji Rouge Shop, take a look at the statements first. If you have any questions, you can ask me now."

The five shopkeepers were terrified and were already thinking of excuses.

There are a few vague entries in the account book. Could it be that the young lady has already seen through them all?

The five people got the bill and saw the problematic items recorded on it. Those who had just been holding on to hope finally died.

Sure enough, it was found out. Didn’t they say that the young lady only looked at the account books for three days? How could she find such a difficult problem?

Su Yan raised the tea bowl, took a sip, and then smiled and said, "Is there any problem? If not, then I will continue."

Some people have already started wiping their foreheads secretly, their hearts are in turmoil and they can't find a good excuse for a while.

"You are a traitor and you are keeping double accounts. Do you really think that our Su family is easy to fool?" Su Yan looked at the five people with a dignified look.

At this moment, the statements in their hands were like iron chains tying up their hands and feet, making them unable to move.

"Miss, you just glanced at the account book casually. You have no idea what's going on. I can explain it to you." The shopkeeper of Phoenix Tower, who was the first to receive the bill, said calmly.

Su Yan glanced away and said nonchalantly: "Oh, tell me what I don't understand, and see if you can convince me."

Shopkeeper Yu of the Phoenix Tower said stubbornly, "There's always wear and tear when crafting gold and silver. A little wear and tear on each piece adds up to a considerable expense."

"Pfft, if that's really what you said, why would I open a gold shop? The profit is less than the loss. Since Shopkeeper Yu is insisting on being stubborn, I will immediately invite a professional craftsman to come and make a piece of jewelry. I want to see how much loss there is. Can it be five thousand taels a year?"

"Miss, how can one piece of jewelry compare to hundreds of pieces?"

Su Yan shook his head and sneered, "Manager Yu, you still want to be stubborn, right? Brother Zhang, come and read what is written on this paper."

"Yes."

There was a stack of notes, and Su Yan took out one of them and handed it to Su Zhang.

Su Zhang took it and was a little surprised to see the contents inside. He wondered when the eldest lady had sent people to investigate Manager Yu.

"On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month in the ninth year of the Xuanjing reign of the Jin Dynasty, my shopkeeper bribed Master Chen, a craftsman from the Fenghuang Restaurant, at the Tianxiang Restaurant. The two of them conspired to embezzle five thousand taels of gold and silver jewelry."

"On the eighth day of the sixth month of the ninth year of the Xuanjing reign of the Jin Dynasty, my shopkeeper bribed the accountant to falsify the accounts, falsely reporting the purchase price of jadeite at 1,000 taels instead of 500 taels."

"On the seventh day of the seventh month of the ninth year of the Xuanjing reign of the Jin Dynasty, which was last month, Shopkeeper Yu privately used a golden hairpin, presumably as a gift for his wife."

......

Every time Su Zhang read a word, Manager Yu's face grew darker. By the time he finished, Manager Yu's legs had gone limp.

"Miss, please listen to my explanation."

"No need to explain. I wanted you to confess, but you insisted on being stubborn. So I'll make you die knowing the truth. How do we at Feilong Villa deal with a disloyal person like Su Zhang, who uses public resources for personal gain and deceives his superiors and subordinates?"

"Miss, this person should have all his embezzled gains reclaimed, have one hand broken, and be expelled from Feilong Villa."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shopkeeper Yu fell to his knees and begged for mercy, "Miss, I was just blinded by greed. Please give me another chance. I will definitely change. I will pay back all the money I embezzled. Please don't break my hand."

Su Yan looked at him, but he was not in a hurry to punish him. Instead, he asked the others, "I have read all your account books. See the note in my hand? It clearly records how you run the shop. If you take the initiative to stand up and admit it now, I can give you a lighter sentence. If you insist that I tell you everything you have done in public, then we will not be able to have a good ending."

Shopkeeper Yu was still begging for mercy. As tough as he was before, he was now as humble as he was before.

How could he have known that the seemingly innocent little girl actually sent people to investigate them and found out all his details.
