Poisonous Pet World: The War King's Heart-stealing Medical Concubine
Chapter 40: Brother, what are you looking at?
Murong Zixi was unmoved and interrupted him: "Stop talking nonsense. I came here in person today to check the business status of this store and see how much it has earned over the years. It's time to collect the debt."
The shopkeeper was shocked. What? Collecting debts? This damn girl meant that she would take back all the money she had earned over the years? What a joke! Although his cousin had a good reputation, she was actually very petty. Would his cousin agree to this?
Seeing that he couldn't refuse, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask the waiter to bring up the account book. Anyway, he had tampered with the account book, and he didn't believe that a little girl like her could see anything.
The waiter came out carrying a large box, and Xiao Huan said, "Miss, why don't you go into the private room and sit down and take a look slowly."
Murong Zixi nodded, and the group entered the private room. The waiter carried the account book into the private room and opened the lock. Murong Zixi picked up an account book at random, opened it, and started to look through it casually.
The shopkeeper instructed people to prepare refreshments while smiling and saying, "Miss, please take a seat. These account books are from last year and this year. The previous ones were destroyed after going to the General's Mansion for reconciliation every year. Last year's ones should have been destroyed as well, but I've been so busy recently that I forgot."
Murong Zixi sat at the table, opened the account book and looked through it carefully.
The shopkeeper was secretly delighted. This girl was indeed an amateur. She couldn't even understand the account book, so how dare she come to check the accounts?
However, when he saw Murong Zixi reading the account book carefully, a hint of confusion and surprise appeared on his face.
The more Murong Zixi looked at it, the deeper her frown deepened. This account book was too fake! Although it looked fine, a closer look revealed that many parts did not match.
After a while, Murong Zixi picked up another account book and flipped through it carefully. Her eyes swept over every line of words, as if she wanted to engrave all these numbers into her mind. After reading for a while, she gently closed the account book, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.
"Xiaolu, report to the police." Her voice was calm and firm, as if she had expected such an outcome.
"Yes!" Xiaolu responded immediately and turned around to report the case.
Xiao Juan's face turned pale in an instant. He widened his eyes and looked at Murong Zixi in disbelief.
This little girl actually reported to the police after looking at two account books? Did she really find something? It's impossible. Every time his cousin checked the accounts, she didn't notice any problems. How could she be seen through by a little girl?
Xiao Juan felt a surge of panic in his heart, but he still pretended to be calm and quickly stopped Xiaolu.
He looked at Murong Zixi with a flattering smile on his face, "What are you doing? Niece, we are all family, we can talk it out, why are you reporting it to the police?"
Murong Zixi smiled slightly, with a sly look in her eyes. She certainly knew what Xiao Juan was thinking, but she was not going to let him go easily. "I've said that you are not worthy of being called my niece. I guess you have been greedy for a lot over the years. Otherwise, you should spit it out or go to jail."
Xiao Juan's face instantly turned gloomy. He gritted his teeth and said, "What do you mean? You are a young girl, how can you understand the account book? You just flipped through it casually and dared to slander me for corruption. It's really unreasonable! I have been here to take care of this shop for ten years. Even if I have no merit, I should have worked hard. How can I let you slander me like this?"
Xiao Yulin curled up the corner of her mouth into a cold smile and said sarcastically: "Oh, so you have been here for ten years. In such a long time, how much silver have you embezzled? Xiaolu, go to the government office and report to the authorities. Let the government investigate this matter thoroughly." After saying that, she gave Xiaolu a wink.
Xiaolu understood immediately. She swiftly dodged Xiao Juan's obstruction and ran out the door quickly.
When Xiao Huan saw this, he suddenly felt panic in his heart. He didn't expect her to be so decisive and resolute. He, who was so arrogant just now, was like a deflated ball in an instant, and his momentum suddenly weakened.
"We are all family. We will see each other sooner or later. We can talk it out, right?"
"Who is your family? Do you think anyone would want to be related to me?" Murong Zixi said with a sneer.
"Wang Wang Wang..."
At this moment, Xiao Cui, who was standing by, hugged Xiao Bai on the ground and said happily, "Hey, Miss, Xiao Bai seems to understand what you said! Little Bai, dear~ Miss was talking about others, but you are our Miss's beloved pet, you are different from those cats and dogs~"
Xiaobai raised his eyelids. Of course he knew that his master was not talking about him. He was just very unhappy with the wretched man in front of him.
The owner can just do it in two steps, why does he have to make it so complicated? It makes the dog so bored.
Murong Zixi glanced at Xiaobai and the corners of her mouth rose slightly. This little guy has now become familiar with Xiaocui, Xiaolu and the others, and has even started to let them hold him.
Xiao Juan immediately whispered a few words to the waiter beside him, and the waiter immediately ran out.
Murong Zixi sneered. Want to report to Xiao? Xiao is now in a big trouble because of Murong Baixue. How can they care about these things?
Not long after, the bailiffs from Shuntian Prefecture came back with Xiaolu.
Seeing the bailiff coming, Murong Zixi immediately stood up and said, "Sir, this shop is mine. I was ignorant in the past and was cheated by my stepmother. When I checked the accounts today, I found that many of them didn't match. It seems that the shopkeeper has embezzled a lot of money from my shop."
The person who came was none other than Wang Ping, the yamen runner who had gone to the General's Mansion with Lu Zhensi last time. When he saw Murong Zixi, he clasped his fists and bowed, "Did your maid say that you are the eldest daughter of the General's Mansion?"
"Exactly".
"Then please come with us, Miss. Once we get to the Shuntian government office, our Lord Lu will make the decision for you."
"OK".
"Sir, it's all misunderstanding, misunderstanding," Xiao Juan shouted hurriedly.
Wang Ping snorted coldly, "Misunderstanding? Once you go to the government office, we will naturally judge you. If you are really innocent, what are you afraid of?"
"Please bring these account books with you, they are all evidence."
Wang Ping bowed quickly and said, "I don't deserve to be called a little brother by the young lady. This is my duty."
Wang Ping waved his hand and said, "Take them together." Immediately, a yamen runner came forward carrying the box containing the account books.
The group left "Moxiangxuan".
Jun Feimo, who was in the teahouse opposite, saw Murong Zixi coming out of Moxiangxuan and his eyes lit up, but then he saw the line of yamen runners behind him and frowned.
Hua Qianyi, who was standing opposite, saw Jun Feimo looking outside and jokingly asked, "Brother, what are you looking at? Could it be that a woman more beautiful than the four beauties in the capital has appeared and attracted you, brother?"
