Eat the whole family? I emptied the storehouse of the Marquis' Mansion and married the crippled

In just two cups of tea, Nanny Liu showed the results to Ye Jintang.

As she expected, both gold and silver bars were missing.

It seems that just now Manager Wen and his two accountants were busy making false accounts in an attempt to make up for the missing silver.

Ye Jintang did not get angry in a hurry, but continued to wait for Nanny Liu to check the other inventories.

Shopkeeper Wen standing by had beads of sweat on his forehead.

As boxes of gold and silver bars were carried out, Ye Jintang gave him a half-smile, which made him feel uneasy.

He always felt like she knew something.

At this moment, Shopkeeper Wen finally understood that Ye Jintang was not as weak and gullible as he appeared.

She is quite resourceful, and he is afraid that he will be in great danger during this audit.

Shopkeeper Wen prayed silently, hoping that Ye Jintang would only check the current inventory and not find any of his previous tricks.

Zhou Wuwei brought a chair for Ye Jintang to sit on. It was a little hot in the backyard, so Luzhu and Lianqiao each took a fan and fanned Ye Jintang to cool him down.

Ye Jintang, who was in a good mood, glanced at the slightly nervous Shopkeeper Wen and was too lazy to waste words with him. He decided to wait until the accounts were checked before talking about anything else.

Time passed minute by minute, and a box of slightly old silver hairpins was found out of the warehouse and placed in front of Ye Jintang.

The moment Shopkeeper Wen saw the silver hairpin, he felt sick all over.

He gritted his teeth in his heart, wondering if Ye Jintang really knew something, otherwise he wouldn't have turned out everything in the warehouse.

At this moment, Aunt Liu took the account book and asked the craftsmen how much they had been paid in recent months and what styles of jewelry they had made.

Naturally, the craftsmen did not dare to hide anything and answered whatever Madam Liu asked.

After a short while, it became clear that Shopkeeper Wen had withheld money from the craftsmen.

Ye Jintang was not in a hurry either. She walked forward and picked up a silver hairpin. The hairpin looked like it was four or five years old and some parts had turned black.

In front of everyone present, Ye Jintang raised the silver hairpin and gently pinched it with his fair fingers, and the hairpin actually became dented.

"Manager Wen, are you going to tell it yourself, or do you want me to tear off your fig leaf piece by piece?"

When seeing the box of silver hairpins, Shopkeeper Wen was obviously panicked, but he did not give up and wanted to struggle again.

"Miss Ye, I don't know what you are talking about. You have caused so much trouble today. I am afraid it is not as easy as checking the accounts. Do you want to sell the silver shop?"

"You are smart, but unfortunately the silver shop is my private property. I have the final say on whether to keep it or sell it. It has nothing to do with you."

Ye Jintang glanced at Shopkeeper Wen again with a half-smile, and continued, "Since you don't want to say it yourself, then I'll say it for you."

Then Ye Jintang listed the crimes of Shopkeeper Wen one by one.

"Manager Wen, you don't have to deny it in a hurry. We will know whether you took the silver from the silver shop soon."

"Zhou Cong, you and Wuwei take a few guys with you and go to Shopkeeper Wen's house and search it carefully. I believe we will definitely find some clues."

Now Shopkeeper Wen was no longer calm.

"Miss Ye, please don't go too far. After all, I have been the shopkeeper of the Ye family for so many years, so I have some dignity."

"Miss, you are trying to put the blame on me. Is it because you have done something shameful? Now you want to get rid of me as the shopkeeper as soon as possible so that you can do things more conveniently?"

As soon as Shopkeeper Wen opened his mouth, he wanted to disrupt Ye Jintang's plan.

He just thought that Ye Jintang was a girl from the inner house and was thin-skinned. If he spread some ugly rumors, no matter whether it was true or false, Ye Jintang would suffer.

Unfortunately, the weak girl in front of him had already changed her mind, and Manager Wen’s trick had no effect on her at all.

"Someone, gag and tie up Shopkeeper Wen. I don't want to hear his nonsense."

It would be much better to suppress it directly with force, saving time and effort.

The few guys who had just been standing aside and not daring to move, rushed forward and tied up Manager Wen tightly to show their loyalty.

Shopkeeper Wen was thrown to the ground and struggled desperately, whimpering.

The development of the matter was completely beyond his expectations, and at this moment Manager Wen finally felt scared.

Unfortunately it was too late.

The courtyard where Manager Wen lived was in the alley behind the silver shop. Zhou Cong took a few people there, and he came back in less than half an hour.

He also brought back several wooden boxes of different sizes.

The wooden boxes were all dirty and covered with mud.

"Master, these wooden boxes were dug out from the cellar in Shopkeeper Wen's backyard. The first few wooden boxes are probably quite old. They have been painted with several layers of tung oil and show signs of decay."

As he spoke, Zhou Cong pointed to several boxes at the back.

"Those boxes should have been buried in the past two years. They are still quite new."

"Open the box and have a look."

Ye Jintang only looked at the heavy appearance of the box and vaguely guessed that it must contain gold, silver or something like that, otherwise it would not be so heavy.

Shopkeeper Wen, who was lying on the ground, saw that all his assets had been turned out, and he lay on the ground like a deflated ball, and stopped struggling.

Each box had a palm-sized copper lock on it. Zhou Cong found an axe and tried to break the lock by force.

"let me."

Zhou Wuwei stepped forward and took the axe from Zhou Cong's hand. He did not use violence to break the copper lock, but used clever force.

There were a few crisp sounds, "bang, bang, bang", and the copper lock fell off.

The boxes were opened one by one, and they were all filled with gold and silver bars, as well as some antiques and porcelain.

Everyone present was stunned.

How much silver would that cost with so many gold and silver bars?

"Manager Liang, please count the total amount of silver and antiques and porcelain."

At this moment, the two shopkeepers were so frightened that their legs went weak. When Ye Jintang called their names, they were so dizzy that they had no time to count the silver.

In the end, it was Zhou Cong and Zhou Wuwei who worked together to weigh the gold and silver bars.

"My Lord, here are 62 taels of silver, 33 taels of gold, pieces of antique porcelain, and pieces of jade."

Now it was Ye Jintang's turn to be stunned. It was unbelievable that Manager Wen could take out 4 taels of silver and 5000 taels of gold from the silver shop.

"Very good, Shopkeeper Wen, I won't punish you either. Tomorrow morning, all of you will return to the Wen family in Xingnan and let my grandfather deal with you."

When Liang the accountant heard that he was going to be sent back to the Wen family, he knelt down in front of Ye Jintang. Old Master Wen would not show mercy when dealing with the traitors in the house, so it was hard to say whether they could survive.

"Miss Ye, please spare my life for the sake of my many years as the accountant of the Ye family."

"What Accountant Liang said is interesting. You are originally servants of the Wen family. Now that you have made a mistake, it is natural that the Wen family will deal with you."

The two accountants and shopkeeper Wen were locked up on the same day, but the assistants and craftsmen did not react much.

Ye Jintang wants to sell the jewelry store, and the new owner naturally has his own people to employ. Rather than being sold out, it is better for him to return to the Wen family.

At least there are people they know there, and they can be reassigned jobs and still support their families.

All the gold and silver bars in the silver shop's warehouse, as well as the jewelry in stock, and the gold and silver antiques seized from Shopkeeper Wen's house were all carried back to Ye Jintang's courtyard and placed in the warehouse.

As soon as the silver was put in, Ye Jintang put it all into the space.

No matter how many locks there are on the warehouse, they are not as safe as her space.

While putting down the silver, Ye Jintang took a look at the ginseng in a farm.

She vaguely felt that the ginseng seemed to have grown a little bigger. Previously, a ginseng plant had only four leaves, but now it has grown to seven.

I don’t know how many times the ginseng has bloomed and how many times it has borne fruit.

Anyway, she didn't have anything she wanted to plant, so she just let the ginseng grow slowly.
