Employed husband

After becoming an apprentice in the accountant of the Li family, Zheng Purin became even busier.Usually, I rush home after work, and after dinner, I go back to the head office to work overtime. When I come back, it is late at night, my face is tired, and my hands are stained with ink.

Ajie just felt sorry for her being too tired, but Ren Feiyuan noticed something unusual.As a new apprentice, Ah Lin was unreasonably busy. She tried her best to hide it, but she could still see that she was preoccupied.

"...Is the new job inappropriate? If you are really unhappy, then don't do it." Ren Feiyuan couldn't help seeing Zheng Lin's dark circles getting worse, so she couldn't help but persuade her.

Hearing that Zheng Purlin floated over silently, he buried his little furry head in Ren Feiyuan's arms and rubbed it, sullenly said: "Sister, am I just overwhelmed by bad luck? I...seem to have discovered something terrible again It's a secret. But let me let go of the old fox and Ali, but I can't do it... I will try my best to let them know, and I can live with my conscience."

"Hey..." Ren Feiyuan's mind was so clear that she immediately heard the overtones. There might be something wrong with the Li family's accounts...

She knew that Ah Lin had made a lot of new friends at Li's house, and that this child was a very good person to those around him, which was very good. Ren Feiyuan didn't want to stop her, so she said, "You can do whatever you want, I will always support you , just...promise me to protect myself."

"Hmm! I swear!" Zheng Purlin smiled and raised three fingers, sweetly agreeing.The elder sister is always the most important, and she will definitely protect herself who belongs to her elder sister.

A few days later, in the middle of the night, Li Sanniang left an important contract at the head office, and when she turned to pick it up, she was surprised to find a light jumping in the dark room, and a bean-sized flame loomed in the accounting room.

Is it a thief?Li Sanniang didn't feel like it.

There are many ledgers in that room, but there is nothing of value, and the light of the fire is fixed and never moves, as if someone is working in it.

... Logically speaking, it shouldn't be?The spring tea picking has just started this year, and the finished tea produced before the Grain Rain is all tribute tea and will not be traded.The busy time of business has not yet come, how can someone stay up late to work?

She was puzzled, so she simply knocked on the door and went in to find out. Zheng Lin, who was copying the account books, looked up.

Although Zheng Purlin acted calmly as usual, Li Sanniang had been immersed in the business field for many years, so she never missed the moment when Zheng Purlin looked up, his eyes full of alertness and hostility.

After seeing that it was Li Sanniang who came, Zheng Purlin was obviously relieved.

"It turned out to be Ali, I was scared to death." Zheng Lin exaggeratedly rubbed his chest.

"Why don't you go back so late?" Li Sanniang didn't feel that the new apprentice had to work overtime until late at night.

Zheng Lin hesitated for a moment, thinking that he had already collected a lot of evidence, which should be enough to win Ah Li's trust, so he stood up and waved to her: "Well...you come in first, I will tell you slowly."

Could it be that the accounts are different?Li Sanniang was in a bad mood, so she walked quickly into the house, and closed the door behind Zheng Lin's signal.

"Look at this first." Zheng Purlin looked serious, and handed her the half-copied ledger.

"Maybe I'm meddling in my own business, but I think you should let you know. It was originally planned to be compiled into a book and given to you, but you just came today."

Li Sanniang took over the account books, which were all suspicious accounts from last year, which were copied by Zheng Purlin.Clearly indicate which account book the original account was recorded in one by one, where it doesn't make sense, and how much money is probably lost because of it...

The content was shocking, Li Sanniang did a rough calculation, and thousands of taels of silver disappeared inexplicably on this page alone.She knew that there were people who were greedy for ink, but she never expected that these people had become so arrogant!Dad is still in the position of Patriarch, where will they put Dad? !It is tolerable or unbearable!Can't help but fill his chest with anger, bit his lower lip tightly with his white teeth.

Zheng Purn has been in Li's house for more than half a year, and he knows that Li Sanniang is good-tempered and stable, and has never seen her get angry or be at a loss.However, today her complexion was as dark as ink, it could be seen that the situation was really serious, and she was really angry!

"Don't be angry, it's not worth it to be angry. Didn't we find out in advance? Maybe it's a good opportunity to solve the problem." Zheng Purn carefully persuaded.

Li Sanniang gathered herself together, looked at the several copied account books on the table and asked, "These... are all made by Ah Lin alone?"

Zheng Purlin nodded, and said a little embarrassedly: "There are still many at home... I am afraid that people will find out and take them home one after another. But don't worry, Ah Li, I locked them carefully, even Sister Feiyuan...my wife has never seen them. "

"I believe you." Li Sanniang was amazed at the young man's intelligence and prudence beyond his age, and was even more grateful to her, fearing that she might misunderstand, so she blurted out an explanation.

But it's not safe for Zheng Lin to do things here, and it's too tiring for her to do this trivial and mind-consuming work alone.Zheng Purlin couldn't take the account books home, but Li Sanniang could.

She thought for a while and said: "Don't come to the main store. If you bump into me today, you may bump into someone else tomorrow. Being suspected is not good for you. Tomorrow after work, you go to the shop outside the east gate and wait first. Shopkeeper Ning is My old man is an upright person and supports me very much. With him around, you can do things freely. I will come to you with the ledger and helpers on the fifth hour. After finishing, put the ledger in the store and inform shopkeeper Ning, and someone will take it with you. Walk."

Of course, Zheng Purn can't wait for it. She doesn't have to worry about having a stable and safe place to work. Naturally, her efficiency will increase a lot.

The helper Li Sanniang brings is the only son of shopkeeper Ning, who is also the husband-in-law of Sanniang's sister, Siniang.He was several years younger than Zheng Purlin, and studied hard to take part in the imperial examination.It may be because I have been exposed to it since I was a child. Although I am not interested in doing business, I am proficient in accounting and are very sensitive to numbers.The most important thing is that this child adores Li Sanniang very much, and he is a solid fan of Sanniang who will never betray.

Shopkeeper Ning is very measured. He knows that as an outsider, it is not easy to intervene in the internal struggle of the Li family, but his son is the future son-in-law of the Li family, and one of the few people who has nothing to do with the business of the Li family. It is most appropriate to come here to help.He himself didn't ask or listen, and was only responsible for providing the venue and providing them with protection.

Moving to the shopkeeper Ning's branch, Zheng Purlin got the help of Mr. Ning, and sometimes Li Sanniang would stay with them to check the accounts. Not only did the progress speed up, but many new problems that Zheng Purlin had not discovered were also discovered.

By the beginning of May, the three of them checked the accounts for three years together. Those that disappeared out of thin air, those that increased costs in a disguised form, and those that should not be short-lived, were converted into nearly 1000 million taels of silver, which is equivalent to 100 billion Ruanmei coins. up...

Zheng Purlin didn't dare to say more, and looked worriedly at Li Sanniang, waiting for her to make a decision.

Mr. Ning was angry with the book business in his bones, and he was so angry that he repeatedly called "fishing insects" and "how stupid it is to fish out of the river"!

Li Sanniang frowned, she knew very well that these were just superficial accounts, and some of the accounts were obviously rigged and fake accounts, the actual number must be much larger than what they found out.

With pain in her temples, Li Sanniang said sadly: "...It's my fault, I should fight them to the end, I shouldn't choose to compromise because it's the Li family, otherwise how could it be this way? It's time for me to fight with Dad Let’s have a good talk, it’s not too late, you just wait.”

Zheng Purlin and Mr. Ning also had no choice but to comfort Li Sanniang with a few words, and went back to quietly wait for the news.

On the second day, Li Sanniang stopped Master Li who was going to the main store, and asked him to go to the study with a firm attitude.

The business has been stable recently, Mr. Li didn't feel that something big would happen, but he dotes on San Niang, so he naturally agrees without saying a word, pretending to listen carefully.

Let the confidant guard the gate of the courtyard, Li Sanniang presented the account book and said: "Please look over it, Father."

Mr. Li has never seen her face the enemy as much as today, he felt a little uneasy, but still smiled lightly on his face: "What object is worthy of Sanniang being so mysterious?"

However, as the browsing progressed, Mr. Li couldn't even maintain a smirk!

He didn't show any more expressions, but knowing his father is like a daughter, from the unstoppable trembling hands he squeezed the account book, it can be seen that turbulent waves have been set off in his heart!It must be full of shock, anger and heartache!
