Transformed into a furry person, I am doing public relations in the Northern Song Dynasty

In order to be closer to his wife, the owner of the fruit shop moved his shop to this street, right across the shoe store.

The two of them were busy with their own things on weekdays, but if they missed each other, they could just raise their heads and see each other, which made the neighbors envious.

Everyone was chatting and laughing happily, but someone was so blind as to pour cold water on them.

"What's the big deal? It's just a profit of more than 7,000 taels. After all, I'm your father. I've eaten more salt than you've eaten rice."

"Madam Liu, you are going to lose!"

Liu Chenggong looked very confident, with his chin almost sticking up to the sky, and he didn't take Liu Yunqing seriously at all.

Liu Yunqing snorted lightly. Not to mention that the old bookstore earned more than her, it would be difficult for the old bookstore to make more than five hundred taels in profit in these three months. If they could really win, she, Liu Yunqing, would take off her head and let Liu Chenggong kick it like a ball!

"Lose? I'm afraid not."

Liu Yunqing didn't even look at him, but said to everyone: "I'm sure everyone has seen what I have done at Qingxi Bookstore these days. I earn a penny, and I, Liu Yunqing, have a clear conscience."

"May I ask, Shopkeeper Liu, the wages of the shop assistants have been in arrears for two months. You said you earn more than me, but I don't know where you earn it from? If you earn it, why do you oppress the shop assistants?"

"I advise Shopkeeper Liu not to brag about it. Mr. Zhao and Mr. Chen are here. Are you going to make false accounts for them? Black is black and white is white. Shopkeeper Liu is old, he should understand this, right?"

Liu Chenggong threw the account book aside without hesitation, looking as if he was not afraid of being checked at all.

"Madam, don't say so much. I told you that we should check the account books. I can't joke with you. Just tell Master Chen to check!"

"I am not as heartless as you, who don't even care about the kindness of my parents and are only interested in money. I showed some mercy to you in court. If I really gamble with you, I should also gamble your Qingxi Bookstore. Today, you will be left with nothing!"

Liu Yunqing snorted coldly: "Everyone can see whether I am ruthless or not, but Shopkeeper Liu is really amorous. He hooked up with Madam Yu before, and before that, there were Miss Chunshi, Miss Piyun, and Madam Wan in the tile house..."

"If I don't tell you, do you think you can keep it a secret? I've seen you fooling around since I was five or six years old. You're better at being promiscuous than you are at running a business."

"I am indeed heartless. I cannot show love and respect to an elder like you."

With just one sentence, Liu Yunqing revealed the image of a loving family and wife that Liu Chenggong had created for himself. Liu Yunqing had known since childhood that his father was a rotten thing on the inside.

This remark attracted the attention of the neighbors, and they couldn't help but whisper to each other.

To be honest, although everyone watched the ladies of the Liu family grow up, and knew that Madam Liu was not a bad person, but regarding this matter, everyone had to say that Madam Liu was unfilial.

No matter how you look at it, this is a family matter. Even if Liu Chenggong did something wrong and kept a woman outside, it would be inappropriate for his children to bring her out, and they might even bring her to court and bring shame to the family.

As a man, what's the big deal if he has a beauty outside? He still has to come back home in the end. Besides, Qi hasn't given birth to a child to carry on the Liu family's family for many years, so it's not too much for Liu Chenggong to make other plans.

However, it was too much for Liu Chenggong to dare to behave improperly with the woman in front of the children, and it was no wonder that Madam Liu refused to acknowledge him as their father.

This was all Liu Chenggong's own fault, and now he is deserted by everyone and this is his retribution!

The sisters-in-law and aunts around looked at Liu Chenggong with eyes as sharp as knives, and the gentlemen also looked down on Liu Chenggong for his hypocritical appearance.

Liu Chenggong was wrong first, but after the divorce he still acts like he was let down and betrayed by his wife and daughter all day long. How shameless!

Knowing the inside story, everyone looked at Liu Yunqing with a little more sympathy. The aunt from the shoe shop even wanted to say something to comfort him, but Liu Yunqing hurriedly smiled at her and indicated that everything was fine.

"It's just some trivial things. It's annoying to mention them. I'd better ask Mr. Chen to check the account book quickly. If this matter is resolved, some people will never have to see each other again."

Lord Chen nodded when he heard this, glanced at Liu Chenggong with his sharp eyes, and then took the account book and started checking each item one by one.

However, the more he looked at it, the more his brows furrowed. He simply threw the account book aside and questioned Liu Chenggong.

"I saw that Manager Liu was so righteous and confident, so I thought you had repented. After being fined so much money, you should have learned your lesson and would never cheat others with false accounts again."

"Who would have thought that Shopkeeper Liu not only did not repent, but also did not even want to fool people anymore!"

"If this is true, then Manager Liu is really good at memory. He can actually write down all the accounts for three months in one breath! The ink and handwriting are consistent. How can I check these accounts? Do you, Liu Chenggong, take the government office seriously?"

Lord Chen slammed the table with his palm, knocking down a pile of account books from the old bookstore, showing how angry he was.

Liu Yunqing was curious and couldn't help but pick up a book to read. He quickly flipped through it from beginning to end. As Lord Chen said, no matter when the date was written, the handwriting looked the same, obviously written at the same time.

If it was normal, one should record it every day, every time there was a money transaction in the market, one would record it, in addition to using black ink. If there was an error in the record or there were additions or deletions, red would be used to distinguish them.

Although the notes at the beginning and end of the month were written by the same person, the time was different, and the paper or handwriting might be newer or older.

Unless Liu Chenggong asked someone to copy it again, there is no way to explain it.

Then again, how can an account book be copied? After copying, who would know how much truth and how much falsehood there is in it?

Facing Lord Chen's questioning, Liu Chenggong remained fearless.

"Your Excellency, you don't care when I wrote it. As long as the correspondence on it matches, it's fine. I advise you to take a good look at who my Liu's Bookstore is doing business with."

Liu Chenggong's voice gradually became lower, with a hint of threat in it, telling Lord Chen to stop while he was ahead. If he didn't make things difficult for him today, he would definitely not make things difficult for Lord Chen.

He had already inquired about it before. Lord Chen was already thirty years old, and was only an eighth-rank official in the government office. He had no foundation or support, so he was easy to control.

If he is sensible, it will be good. If he is not, he will have to bear the consequences!

Who would have thought that Lord Chen was not afraid at all? Instead, he sneered and glanced at the arrogant Liu Chenggong.

"Oh? Then I have to take a closer look. What kind of big business is Shopkeeper Liu doing that makes him so successful? I also want to calculate how much commercial tax he has to pay next year. All the expenses of the court depend on Shopkeeper Liu."
