"Master, I ate the food in the restaurant without paying."
"Master, I..."
Until all twelve people "explained", they didn't hear anything substantive. They were all trivial matters.
After the last person's voice fell, the room fell silent. They quietly raised their heads to look at Yun Ning, but the moment they looked up, they saw eyes as dark as a trance.
Those eyes were so frightening that they immediately lowered their heads, feeling guilty and not daring to look at each other.
Yun Ning's voice sounded low, "You really don't take me seriously. You all think I have no experience, so you think you can bully me, right?"
Several shopkeepers lowered their heads.
Obviously this Yun Ning is neither tall nor big, and she is still a woman, but they all feel inexplicably breathless in front of her.
Yun Ning flicked her fingers, "Lingqing, since none of them want to tell the truth, just help them recall it."
"Yes, Master."
Li's eyes were slightly bright, and Yun Wei was also a little excited. Was Yun Ning going to give in?
That rude maid looked like she wanted to take action. If Yun Ning asked her to take action against the shopkeepers, then it would be said that Yun Ning was treating her servants harshly.
Lingqing's aura was dangerous. When she stepped forward, the twelve shopkeepers almost subconsciously wanted to avoid it, but Lingqing took out a small book from her sleeve.
What is recorded on it are densely packed records of fake account books made by these people.
Yun Wei pursed her lips with disdain, "I'm just a maid, can you read?"
Yun Ning glanced at her coldly, "My maid is naturally good at everything. She is not only literate, but also knows etiquette."
Yun Wei wanted to say something sarcastic, but then she realized that Yun Ning was trying to hurt her in a roundabout way.
"You actually..."
Yun Wei looked at Yun Ning angrily, but was frightened by Li's look and shut her mouth.
Lingqing opened the small book and spelled out clearly, "Yunjia Rice Shop, the number of pounds of rice in the shop does not match the number in the account book, and is passed off as inferior. In the ten years since the shopkeeper took over, the difference between the account book and the actual amount has been 100,000 yuan."
Two taels of silver; the Yun Family Restaurant has artificially high purchase prices. In the eight years since the owner took over, there has been a discrepancy of 130,000 taels of silver between the account book and the actual price; the Yun Family..."
Lingqing explained the situation in all the shops word for word, even correcting the accounts for a penny, which made several shopkeepers break into cold sweats.
They have been doing these things for more than a year or two, and later on, they are not even willing to carefully consider whether the records in their account books are reasonable.
Yun Ning, Yun Luo and Jin Qianduo gradually became angry when they checked the ledgers.
The purchase price of a jar of daughter's red wine in a restaurant was one thousand taels of silver, which was simply outrageous.
The shopkeepers became more and more panicked as they listened. They didn't even dare to look up at Yun Ning. They could only look at Li quietly, hoping that Li would give them a look and at least know how to deal with it next.
But Li only closed her eyes and didn't even look at her.
Until Lingqing's voice stopped completely, when the shopkeepers looked at Yun Ning again, they felt as if they were facing a trial, as if they would be dragged out and executed in the next second.
"Master..." The shopkeeper of Mipu called Yun Ning with a trembling voice, and fear finally appeared in his eyes.
"Master, I know I was wrong. Please forgive me. I have an eighty-year-old mother and a six-year-old son."
