Yun Ning turned to a certain page in the account book, and her voice sounded slowly, "You bought ten pieces of brocade in half a year, and spent a total of three thousand taels of silver..."
Yun Ning said, tapping her fingers on the table, "That's three hundred taels of silver per piece. Li Qi, if I remember correctly, Zhuang Huadin should be sold for one hundred and fifty taels of silver per piece."
You spent three hundred taels just on the purchase price, did you keep the extra money as expenses when you ran away?"
Li Qi's heart had jumped into his throat.
He had never thought that a person who had been useless for so many years could really understand the ledger and be so familiar with the price of cloth.
Li Qi tried his best to control his guilty conscience, "Master, this flower satin is now sold for one hundred and fifty taels of silver. It's not wrong, but because... because there were not many flowers in it half a year ago, the selling price was even
It’s three hundred and fifty to four hundred taels of silver, so it’s normal for the purchase price to be three hundred taels of silver per horse.”
Li Qi spoke under strong pressure. Although Yun Ning's eyes were always on the account book, it still made him feel breathless.
He just hoped that Yun Ning could believe what he said and get over this matter.
Yun Ning didn't say anything, but Yun Luo laughed softly, "Shopkeeper Li doesn't need to think twice about lying. Do you want to take a closer look at the material of the handkerchief in my hand?"
Li Qi felt uncertain, and when he raised his head, he saw that the handkerchief in Yun Luo's hand was actually a floral satin.
Yunluo said: "Half a year ago, my ancestors happened to buy a piece of silk satin to make clothes. This small piece of fabric was given to me by my ancestors. I remember that at that time, a piece of cloth only cost one hundred and forty taels.
of silver, right, ancestor."
Yunluo's honey-colored eyes looked at Li, without any offensive power, but inexplicably made people feel like they could see through everything.
Li Qi also looked at Mr. Li. If his ancestor admitted it, he would be really miserable.
However, there is no way to fake this matter. The makeup and satin are expensive and gorgeous, which is very suitable for a graceful old lady like Li. After the clothes were made, everyone was amazed.
It was impressive then, but lying now would quickly raise suspicion.
Mr. Li also knows this truth.
So Li had no choice but to say: "Yes, a piece of cloth cost one hundred and forty taels of silver at that time."
Yun Ning slammed her slender hand on the table, and the dishes on the table were slightly cracked.
"Fake accounts and embezzle the master's money, Li Qi, you are so brave!"
"Master!"
Li Qi was completely panicked and quickly kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Master, Master, I really know that I was wrong. It was me who became greedy for the money. I beg you, Master, to be lenient and spare me."
Yun Ning didn't even give him a look, she lowered her head and continued flipping through the account book. What she said made Li Qi's heart jump into his throat.
"Ten pieces of soft smoke, twenty pieces of rain silk brocade, five pieces of linen cloth... Li Qi, the cloth shop has bought a lot of good materials."
Li Qi's mind went blank at this time and he no longer knew how to answer Yun Ning's question. He could only nod his head without knowing why, but he saw Yun Ning's face gradually becoming colder.
"There are so many expensive fabrics. There are only records of purchases but no records of shipments in the ledger. Why, can't they be sold?"
Li Qi swallowed nervously, "Yes, Master, those cloths really cannot be sold because the price is higher..."
