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

After waiting for a while, the clerk came over breathlessly and asked the bailiff to hand over the account book.

There are the Fuyuan and six ministries in the yamen that are responsible for internal affairs and accounts, and they are just coming in handy at this moment.

They are all experts, and one cannot help but be amazed at their appearance.

"Manager Liu is truly a business genius. Your two bookshops make a profit of nearly a thousand taels of silver each month, and you must have sold six hundred pens alone!"

"Manager Liu, yours is not the only bookstore in Bianjing City!"

This amount sounds wrong, but Liu Chenggong still speaks shamelessly.

"Why, Your Excellency, you are not happy with me making money! There are so many scholars in Bianjing, and my two bookstores are either next to the Imperial College or the Five Temples and Three Regents. It is normal for me to make more money than others."

"Since there is no problem with the account, this case can finally be closed!"

Several adults were extremely dissatisfied with Liu Chenggong's shamelessness. There was obviously a problem, but they couldn't find it and they couldn't detain him for no reason. This was a problem.

After a brief thought, Lord Zhang's eyes lit up. If he remembered correctly, he had just heard people outside say that this bookshop was usually managed by Madam Liu. Whether it was true or not, she should be the one who knew it best.

But Liu Chenggong is her father, can't she say anything wrong about her father?

There was no time to hesitate. Lord Zhang slammed the gavel and spoke sternly with a stern face.

"Whether Manager Liu's accounts are true or false, we will figure it out. You are not allowed to talk nonsense in the classroom without asking you now!"

"Madam Liu!"

"The grass people are here."

"Since you have been in charge of your own bookstore for many years, you must know the daily flow of money and goods. Now I only care about the truth and not family ties. Tell me the truth. Otherwise, if I find anything wrong, I will punish you as well!"

Lord Zhang's stern face was very intimidating, but Liu Yunqing was not afraid at all. She was waiting for Lord Zhang to say this!

“This…this…”

Zhao Chengyan lowered his head and looked at Liu Yunqing with interest. When he heard the young lady's trembling and hesitant voice, a faint excitement flashed in his eyes, and his hand holding the cloth bag was even more eager to move.

what!

She sued Yu Lian today not because she was involved with her father's mistress, but because she wanted to bring misfortune to her own father!

Lord Zhang warned Liu Yunqing sternly and repeatedly, and Liu Yunqing seemed unable to bear it anymore, so he took out two account books from the cloth bag.

"Master Zhang, my father might have been deceived by the accountant. He often doesn't know how to sort out the money in the market. Whenever he needs money, he just withdraws it from the account. How can he know how much he can earn in a month?"

"No matter how many people are studying in Bianjing, the paper and pens cannot be used up all at once. The monthly revenue is only about 100 taels. I can't even imagine that such a large amount is written in the account book!"

Liu Yunqing seemed to be protecting Liu Chenggong and putting all the blame on the accountant, but now as long as he called the accountant over for a confrontation, the truth would naturally come out.

Not to mention that Liu Yunqing also took out the real account book, which made it seem even more fake that the account book Liu Chenggong took out could not be more fake.

After seeing this, several adults asked Liu Yunqing for some details.

Liu Yunqing naturally answered fluently. Except for the fact that she was not aware of the accounts for more than two months, she knew everything clearly, including the amount of goods purchased from the paper mill and which customer had outstanding debts.

This account book is obviously real.

Liu Chenggong began to panic. Sometimes he said he had taken the wrong account book, and sometimes he said the accountant was fooling him. Neither of him told the truth.

Since the account book is wrong, what business does this wrong account book correspond to?

Liu Chenggong couldn't explain it clearly.

When the bailiff brought the accounting office, there was a commotion outside again. The bailiff came to report that someone wanted to sue Shopkeeper Liu for selling counterfeit goods.

"Fake?"

Liu Yunqing cried out in surprise and pleaded for his father.

"What I sell in my bookshop is not expensive stuff. The books are printed so that people can turn the pages one by one. They are definitely not the shoddy products of a small workshop. How can they be fakes?"

Lord Zhang knew the key to this matter, which might be able to solve the mystery of Liu Chenggong's business, so he immediately asked someone to come to the hall to make a statement.

This man had a big belly, was wearing gold and silver, and was holding an ebony box in his hand. When he came in, he gave Liu Chenggong a fierce look.

Liu Yunqing was familiar with the faces of the shopkeepers of the main stores in Bian Jing, but he had never seen this person before.

"I have met several lords. I am Wan Jin, a leather merchant in Yingtian Prefecture. I usually like to buy jade and antiques. This time I came to Kaifeng Prefecture for business and because I heard that Shopkeeper Liu had some good stuff to sell."

"Manager Liu is so arrogant. I thought he was someone of great importance. I spent more than a hundred taels of silver just to invite him to a banquet."

Wan Jin couldn't help but snorted when he said this: "Who would have thought that he was selling fake goods? Look at me, everyone!"

"He said this blood jade is an old item from 500 years ago. If a street cat hadn't accidentally smashed it today, I would have thought that Shopkeeper Liu was so generous that he was willing to part with it with great pain! He was willing to give it to me for only 580 taels!"

The gentlemen looked over and saw that Kaifeng Prefecture had cracked a case of jade counterfeiting before, and they knew it at a glance.

Manager Liu doesn't know how to read the account books, and even his method of forging money is not very sophisticated.

This blood jade is clearly dyed!

Mr. Zhao is knowledgeable and can help those who are not in the know to clarify the doubts.

"This is made by crushing red light grass into juice, adding cinnabar, pickling it between the veins of new jade, and roasting it over bamboo fire to make blood-soaked jade."

"If laymen are deceived, only when it is broken can they see the white jade heart inside and know that they have been deceived."

Wan Jin nodded repeatedly: "What you said is very true, sir. I just don't know how an expert can see it so well. I hope I can improve my skills in the future."

Zhao Chengyan fanned himself and touched the red color of the fake jade: "It's not difficult to distinguish. It looks translucent in the sun and you can't tell whether it's real or fake. But inside the house, it's much darker than the color of real blood jade."

"Once you've seen real blood jade, you can naturally tell the fake from the fake."

Zhao Chengyan said it easily, but his method is really hard for ordinary people to imitate.

He is a royal relative and has been trained as a crown prince since childhood. Although he has not received much care, what good thing has he not seen?

You will naturally develop a good eye and you don't have to carefully distinguish whether something is real or fake; you can tell just by feeling.

Liu Chenggong became furious and ashamed when his secret was exposed.

He didn't dare to get angry at the officials who were pulling his tail, nor did he dare to get angry at Wan Jinlai, and he didn't dare to offend Mr. Zhao.

He glared at his daughter, veins bulged on his neck, and he wished he could kill Liu Yunqing.

"It's all your fault! If you hadn't been so talkative, I wouldn't have ended up like this!"

"I should have strangled you when you were born! You unlucky person!"

No one expected that Liu Chenggong would dare to roar and hit Liu Yunqing in public.

If his fist hit Madam Liu's face, it would definitely cost her half her life!

Liu Yunqing had no time to dodge and just had time to raise his arm when someone suddenly pulled his shoulder back. The next second, Liu Chenggong let out a loud cry of pain.

Liu Yunqing slowly opened his eyes and looked up to see Mr. Zhao's cold jawline.

The delicate orchid scent wrapped in a light sandalwood scent filled her arms.
