Transformed into a furry person, I am doing public relations in the Northern Song Dynasty
Chapter 202: Seal off the Bookstore
Liu Yunqing and Zhao Chengyan had some vague guesses in their minds. They picked up the account book and took a look. It turned out to be just as they expected.
He really regarded Lu Lun as his big backer and thought that no one dared to offend him. Every record in the account book was filled with business transactions with Lu Lun.
The reasons were the same throughout the whole article: all the pens, ink, paper and inkstone were for use in Lu Qie's mansion.
If it was really purchased by the mansion, it should be a regular purchase, and the amount purchased each time and the silver paid should be almost the same. However, Liu Chenggong was too lazy to even cover it up. No matter whether Lu Chen spent ten taels of silver or one hundred taels of silver on him, it was all the same reason.
It's no wonder that Lord Chen is so angry. Liu Chenggong really doesn't take the government seriously and treats everyone as fools.
Even if Lord Chen did not come to check the accounts today because of the gambling, the government office still has to do an inventory when paying commercial taxes every year.
Could it be that Liu Chenggong still wanted to use Lu Yan as a shield at that time?
Is it true that Lu Lun can last his entire life and is willing to protect Liu Chenggong forever?
What kind of exchange of interests did they make in private?
Liu Yunqing couldn't figure it out for a moment, but when he saw Liu Chenggong like this, he knew that he must be deeply involved with Lu Lun, and he didn't know what bad things he had done for others.
Now that we are here, it is time to end it.
Of course, it is not only time to successfully end the matter with Liu, but it is also time to follow Lu Yan and Liu Qing and expose the whole bunch of people behind them.
Although Zhao Chengyan's people have not yet found out what the jade pendant is going to be used for, they have already vaguely determined the purpose, but time is running out.
If they waited a little longer, Lu Luan would be able to move around more easily once he recovered, and they didn't know what had happened. But now that they had Liu Chenggong as their tail, at the very least they could bring down Lu Luan and Liu Qing.
Without Liu Qing's big money bag, some people in the court would be uncomfortable and would have to behave themselves for a while.
Zhao Chengyan had already reached a consensus with Duke Deng and Lord Zhang on this matter. As Lord Chen was Lord Zhang's confidant, he naturally knew what to do.
Without Zhao Chengyan's further instructions, Lord Chen knew what was going on. He just raised his hand, and Cheng Li and others grabbed Liu Chenggong tightly and made him kneel on the ground.
"Liu Chenggong has disrespected this official, ignored the law, and is suspected of falsifying the accounts. Previously, I allowed him to atone for his crime with money. Who would have thought that Liu Chenggong would not repent and commit the same crime again and again? His crime is unforgivable!"
"We are now sealing up Liu's Bookstore. All employees are not allowed to leave. I will check the accounts one by one to see what kind of business Manager Liu is doing, so that you won't make up stories and say that I have wronged you!"
What if his Liu's Bookstore was closed down?
It is obvious that Liu Chenggong is doing this today to use Lu Lu's reputation to pressure others. This trick always works well. Ever since he started working for Lu Lu, he has been very successful. Everyone who sees him has to respectfully call him Mr. Liu.
Those looks of fear, flattery, envy and jealousy made him feel extremely proud. But this Lord Chen was a reckless man who didn't even have anyone above him to rely on, yet he dared to touch him. He was really bold!
However, let’s not talk about how courageous Lord Chen is. He originally thought that with Lu Lu as his backer, no one would dare to touch him. In order to save trouble, the real account book is still in the bookstore!
What if Lord Chen finds it and puts the blame on Lu Lu...
Even if Lu Lu could escape unscathed, Liu Chenggong couldn't help struggling when he thought of his vindictiveness.
But he was no match for the strong Cheng Li and his gang. Just when he was about to speak, someone blocked his mouth with a rag. He could only utter a few helpless whimpers and watched Lord Chen and his men break into the bookstore and search it thoroughly!
Now everyone was in a panic. They no longer cared about the fun and hurried back to their shops, fearing that they would be implicated. The shop assistants were also anxious.
The boss has been arrested, where can he and his colleagues get their wages?
Li Erniu was about to step forward to stop Cheng Li and others from taking Liu Chenggong away, but Liu Yunqing quickly stepped forward and shouted at them harshly.
"Li Erniu, what are you doing? Liu Chenggong treated you like that, and now you still want to protect him!"
Li Erniu was so anxious that he almost cried. The eight-foot-tall man knelt down in front of Lord Chen.
"Please have mercy, sir. The boss has treated us badly, but without him and the bookstore, where would we make a living? My wife and children are waiting for me to bring them money for food and medical treatment!"
Lord Chen was angry at him for not fighting back and pointed his hand at him.
"You are such a fool! Even if I don't arrest your boss, will he give you money? According to the previous bet, this bookstore should belong to Madam Liu now! You don't want to recognize a new good boss, so you must recognize a bad one!"
Li Erniu was stunned. He looked at Liu Chenggong and then at the lady. He couldn't help but be speechless.
"So, you're going to give the old bookstore to the lady? Didn't you say you were going to close the bookstore? How can it continue to operate in the future?"
Master Chen nodded: "This contract is written very clearly. In addition to the bet, it also lists several clauses, one of which is, 'If either party uses any means to win and falsifies the accounts, he will be deemed the loser and give up the bookstore.'"
"The account book Liu Chenggong brought out today is totally wrong. You can give it to Madam Liu now, but the account must be checked. You just listen to Madam's instructions, and you will be able to operate normally in a few days."
Li Erniu and his men were relieved upon hearing this, and hurriedly bowed to Lord Chen, then came to the old lady. Each of them had anticipation and anxiety in their eyes, fearing that the old lady would not want them anymore.
Liu Yunqing would not be the same as Liu Chenggong. Right now, running the bookstore is a trivial matter. Dealing with Lu Chen and Liu Qing is the most important thing.
In order to reassure the clerks, Liu Yunqing immediately asked someone to take her seal to Fengyuan Money House to get silver. She no longer followed Lord Chen to carefully investigate Liu Chenggong's bad debts. She just gave the clerks whatever they asked and solved the urgent problem first.
She acted this way based on her trust in her old employees. However, if she checked the accounts later and found that someone had taken advantage of the situation and asked for extra money, then don't blame her for ignoring their old friendship. She would definitely send the person to the government for proper punishment.
When the money arrived, it was given to each of the employees one by one, and the employees quieted down.
Lord Chen asked people to look for the account book but couldn't find it, so he came to ask the employees. Since Liu Chenggong was no longer the boss, the employees didn't have to worry anymore, and they just answered whatever Lord Chen asked.
There were actually a few careful people who were answering this question. They remembered where the boss usually hid things. Although they didn't know the exact location, they had a general direction. If they asked people to look carefully, they would find the things.
There are five account books in total, with different ink marks, some new and some old. It is very likely that they are authentic.
Liu Yunqing and Zhao Chengyan were not allowed to get involved in what happened next. They just pretended to stay out of it and asked Lord Chen to handle the matter impartially and send someone else to them to go to the government office quickly to change the owner of the bookstore so as to avoid being implicated again.
