Chapter 73
"This... isn't this the newly improved brocade of our Zhijintang?" Beads of sweat fell down their foreheads, slashing and dripping on their sleeves. Zhao Si even spoke softly.
Gu Changan smiled and said, "Just recognize it."
Her eyes were faint, and her dark pupils were like deep pools, which could suck people in.
She obviously didn't say anything, but Zhao Si's throat was tightened with nervousness, and he carefully tentatively said: "What should I do with the improved new brocade?"
Gu Changan glanced at the iris.
The iris immediately understood and took the brocade spread on the table.
Zhao Si stared at the dagger in Iris's hand and suddenly staggered, as if the blood in his body was frozen at that moment.
Iris pulled out the dagger without saying a word, and the sharp blade gently stroked the modified brocade without hesitation.
hiss--
The brocade cut open in response to the sound, and Zhao Si's expression could no longer be described as a bad one. He couldn't help but retreat.
Gu Changan carefully looked at the two pieces of brocade that had been separated and said, "The shopkeeper told me why the newly improved brocade was cut so easily? If I remember correctly, brocade should not be as crisp as paper, right?"
"Because it is improved... it does not take into account its resilience, but focuses on its lightness as a cicada's wing..." Zhao Si's breathing became rapid, his palms began to sweat, and he said tremblingly.
"Like as light as a cicada's wing?"
Gu Changan slapped the table suddenly, stood up, and threw the brocade to Zhao Si's feet.
"So this is your excuse to cut corners?! This new brocade is terrible, and even silk is the second most used one! For such garbage, tell me how the cost is to that amount!"
The brocade lies on the ground, and you can see how rough the craft is from the crack.
Zhao Si really didn't expect that Gu Changan would take away the new brocade and wait for him here.
"Miss, this is all a misunderstanding. The brocade is not as good as before. In order to break the deadlock, I have to invest the money I have to try to improve. The money is used to pay the weaver extra price." In a hurry, he could only make excuses.
At this time, dare to open your eyes and tell lies?
Gu Changan sneered: "Since you are giving them money, you don't write it in the column of monthly silver expenditures, but add it to the cost of silk."
Zhao Si's face became pale and pale.
"Shopkeeper Zhao, I don't think the cost is too high, but you deliberately made fake accounts and fooled me here!" She shouted suddenly.
Zhao Si never mentioned her name to Gu Chang'an. How did she know what her surname was?
He shivered.
A flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in a flash and looked at Gu Changan in disbelief. Could it be that she had guessed that she would make fake accounts? Everything just happened to accompany him here to act!
Fear filled the bones, and Zhao Si stepped back step by step.
He suddenly turned around and ran out of the yard at full speed.
As long as you rush back and destroy the new brocade now, everything will turn around! If you die without evidence, Gu Chang'an will have no choice but to do anything about himself!
Seeing this, Shaoyao hurriedly blocked him.
"Get out of here!" Zhao Si pushed Shaoyao away and rushed forward desperately.
Whoosh!
A sound broke into the air. Zhao Si suddenly felt a pain in his ankle, and the torn pain instantly swept his body. He screamed and lay directly on the ground, looking down at him and almost fainted.
It's a dagger!
Just now, a dagger flew over from behind and inserted it directly into his ankle!
And in that direction, only Gu Changan!
Zhao Si was bloodless on his face, and he climbed forward desperately with his fingers on the ground, moving nowhere even a distance. He heard the sound of footsteps behind him. The next moment his back was stomped on by the embroidered shoes.
His chest was crushed to the ground and rubbed. He felt suffocated and painful, and his feet were still hurt. He was tortured like this, but his screams could only be stuck in his throat.
"Where do Manager Zhao want to go?" He stepped on his feet and said with a smile on his head.
"Give it, spare... life..."
Zhao Si squeezed out a few words from his throat.
Gu Changan relaxed his feet, but lowered his body, reached out and grabbed his hair, and pulled the person directly in front of her, "Is Manager Zhao willing to tell me the truth now?"
“…”
Zhao Si, who had been begging for mercy just now, immediately pursed his lips.
Gu Changan looked at Zhao Si's appearance, patted his face and sighed sincerely: "Shopkeeper Zhao is really sincere. He still has to protect his master at this time."
"You don't really think I don't know that you and Bai Yuluo are embezzling the money from Jijintang, do you?"
These light words scared Zhao Si to death. When his eyes looked at Gu Changan, he seemed to have been swallowed by evil ghosts, and he spit out a few words in shock, "You, why are you..."
"Don't think that people don't know, unless you don't do it."
Zhao Si's voice of fear was drowned in his throat. When Gu Chang'an let go, he kindly helped him pull off the dagger from his ankle.
"ah--"
His eyes were almost falling out, and the whites of his eyes were covered with clear blood.
Seeing him rolling on the ground in pain, Gu Chang'an said: "You should be very clear that it is a serious sin in the law to embezzle the money from the shop with outsiders, and it is not an exaggeration to let you lose your head. But now I give you a chance to survive, it depends on whether you can catch it."
It was just a dagger that he was in pain. If he got into prison, the jailer's severe punishment would be chilling just by thinking about it.
Zhao Si didn't want to die, so he endured the pain in his body and kept kowtowing to Gu Changan: "What do you want me to do?"
Gu Changan smiled and said, "You should be familiar with Furong Garden."
Zhao Si nodded suddenly. He had been there so many times, so he must be familiar with it.
"Then let's go, go to Furong Garden."
.
At this time, Bai Yuluo and Gu Weirou were still immersed in pride in Furong Garden.
Gu Wei said: "Mom, as long as we wait for Manager Zhao to resign, can we start our own silk shop?"
Bai Yuluo nodded and said, "Of course. Not only that, there are a large number of defective products in the warehouse of Zhijintang. As long as Zhao Si resigns, he will destroy all other fine brocades. At that time, the weaver will follow you. Gu Chang'an has more than nothing, and he will not even have any brocades! Her Zhijintang can only use defective products to cheat!"
"If she really dares to sell defective products, then the first person in the palace will not let her go!" Gu Weirou's smile stretched out. There was never a moment that could make people happier than now.
Bai Yuluo responded with a smile. Before he had been happy for too long, someone suddenly screamed from outside the house, and his smile suddenly stiffened to his mouth.
The two girls looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.
When the two of them came out, they saw the people who were still in the center of the courtyard, and they were both scared and screamed.
"What's going on?" Bai Yuluo pointed at the man tremblingly. She recognized it as Zhao Si at a glance. How could he be so hurt!
Immediately afterwards, a powerful voice sounded in the yard, "Smash it for me!"
