During the time when the servant walked up the ladder to the second floor, the price of these fifty pieces of Sichuan brocade had soared to 3,150 taels! The servant was trembling in his heart when he heard this!
By the time he reached the third floor, the batch of Shu brocades had been bought for 3,700 taels of silver! The host on the stage once again shouted at the top of his lungs: "Thirty pieces of Shu brocades, with the pattern of flying phoenixes."
!Every horse..."
When the servant heard this, he had already walked up to the third floor. Since the third floor was airtight, the door behind him was closed after entering the building, and the place immediately became quiet! However, the sounds outside were cut off, and the sounds inside started ringing again!
Only then did the servant realize that in front of him was a wide corridor with many compartments on both sides. As he walked through, he found that there were a large number of clerks and people dressed as accountants busy in the compartments. There were also people in the corridor.
There are people running around holding documents, it’s a busy scene!
But before he could see clearly, he had already been led to a room. When he came in, five or six people were walking out with a large amount of documents. The Jin Yiwei informed him before letting him in.
The servant thanked him and walked in. He saw a young man sitting behind a big table, and two people were pointing at the paperwork in front of him and talking. When he saw someone coming in, the young man waved his hand to stop the two people from talking.
The servant said: "Are you sent by Wu Langzhong?"
The servant guessed that this man must be Wu Ninghou, so he hurriedly bowed and saluted, and then said: "I have seen Wu Ninghou! My master is indeed Mr. Wu."
Liu Haojia said: "Why did he ask you to come to see me?"
The servant said: "My master went to Tianjin on business, but after waiting and waiting at the post station, he never saw the Marquis, and no one brought the account book. So my master sent a servant to ask the Marquis to bring the account book to the inn.
So we can check the account as soon as possible."
Liu Haojia sneered and said: "Since it's an audit, of course you have to come to the accounting office! What's the point of him waiting in the post house? Tell him that if you want to check, bring someone here to check. I don't have time to wait for them!"
The servant was very anxious when he heard this and raised his head to argue, but Liu Haojia was the first to say in surprise: "Look at your nose and face, you are bruised and swollen. Why, have you been beaten? Is there anyone in Tianjin who goes to the post house to cause trouble?"
"
The servant's face turned red with shame when he heard this! He originally wanted to make up a lie to deceive Liu Haojia, but when he thought that after Liu Haojia returned home, the concierges would definitely report the matter, so he said honestly: "That's true.
It's the villain's fault! Because the villain rushed to the Marquis's house to find someone who was not there, he had some quarrels with the two concierges, and ended up being beaten up by them! Although these two people were disabled, their hands and feet were
It’s very heavy!”
The servant said this with the intention of complaining. He thought that he followed the master to many places to check the accounts, and everyone was respectful wherever he went. Maybe Wu Ninghou was unwilling to offend his master and would deal with the two concierges. As expected, Liu Haojia only listened to Liu Haojia.
He said: "Did the one who was beaten be lame in one leg, and the other one was missing an arm?"
The servant nodded and said, "It's those two!"
Liu Haojia laughed and said: "You are lucky! These two guys turned out to be tough soldiers in the army, and they both have a few lives in their hands! They don't want to make things difficult for you. If they want to make things difficult for you, you can stand still now.
Can’t get up!”
The servant heard the cold sweat on his forehead and felt that he had escaped a disaster! And when he saw that Liu Haojia had no intention of venting his anger on his behalf, he could only stand there swallowing his anger.
At this time Liu Haojia said: "Forget it, I won't and won't hold you accountable for this matter! Also, go back and tell Mr. Wu that since they are auditing the accounts, they must act like they are auditing the accounts. Why do you want to check Shangguan's genealogy?"
Just come here as soon as possible, or forget it if you don’t come! You can see that I am very busy here!”
After getting an accurate reply, although the servant was a little helpless, he could only salute and leave. When he returned to the post house, Wu Yunshan asked him what happened as soon as he saw his nose and face were bruised and swollen.
At this time, the servant put on a miserable face and told how he was beaten. Of course, he must put all the blame on the two concierges, and he also hinted that the two concierges must have been subjected to force.
Ning Hou's instructions deliberately made things difficult for him.
Wu Yunshan and others were even more angry after hearing these words! Although he knew that the servant's words were often untrue, after all, beating a dog depends on the owner, so how could he beat someone with a bruised nose and face just because he said a few more words?
However, he had no way to vent his anger on his servant. He could only say: "This Wu Ninghou family is so unreasonable!"
He Xianli even said: "This Wu Ninghou is really overbearing. Even his servants are acting rampantly. This shows how domineering he can be in Tianjin!"
Jiang Yuzhong said angrily: "How can such a person care about the peace of the people? I'm afraid he only wants to get money in his pocket! But there is no need for Mr. Wu to be angry. Sooner or later, we will settle the account with him!"
But now the problem has been put in front of them, that is, whether to go to Deyi Tea House or not. In their view, if they go to Deyi Tea House, it is equivalent to bowing to Liu Haojia! But if they don't go and they can't check the accounts, they will one day
He couldn't use his great skills! So the four of them debated for a long time and couldn't come up with an idea.
While everyone was arguing, Zhang Shi, who had been sitting silently on the side, picked up the rosary and said: "Everyone, we are all here to run errands, and it is not the same wherever we run errands! Besides, Wu Ninghou's place is not the same.
Why can’t you take a walk in the dragon’s pond and tiger’s den?”
With Zhang Shi at the beginning, the decision was much easier. In the end, the few people agreed, wouldn't Liu Haojia let us go? Then we can just go!
After the discussion, several people called the accountant, guards and others who were traveling with them, and rushed to the Deyi Tea House outside the city.
When they arrived outside the tea house, a guard in Jinyi came forward and said: "Sir, my second young master has already sent orders, saying that if you bring people to come, please go directly to the third floor, where they are already ready.
The room and account books are also ready, and my second young master is waiting for you there."
He Xianli rolled his sleeves and agreed: "Wu Ninghou is so arrogant. He didn't come to greet me and didn't show any etiquette!"
The Jin Yiwei who spoke was also forceful and agreed directly: "Sir, my second young master has a title, even if it comes to errands, they are just accountants who check the accounts for the court! Where to start, you should visit my family.
The second young master is the one!"
He Xianli knew that he was not responsible for this, so he directly agreed: "Stop being verbose and lead the way!"
