218 From now on, I will take care of the General's Mansion
"Fourth Miss, I and the other five are indeed loyal to their duties. They have never done anything to damage the prestige of the General's Palace, nor have they embezzled money from the General's Palace! Everything was done under the arrangement of the General!"
Shopkeeper Han's expression softened slightly, but his voice became deeper and deeper.
Seeing him like this, Mu Liang couldn't help but sneered, "So, the one who made you turn a blind eye to the third lady's false accounts is also the general you mentioned?"
Shopkeeper Han nodded helplessly.
"The Fourth Miss doesn't know that the General is far away at the border. He has not intervened in the affairs of the General's Mansion for more than ten years. It is really not easy to keep things peaceful on the surface. If we don't arrange it like this
, I’m afraid those ladies outside have long made the house uneasy, and by then, the general’s mansion will be completely broken up!”
"Let's break up! It's better than if your daughter is about to be killed and he doesn't care! Listen to me! From now on, all accounts will be done clearly for me.
By the way, leave it to me! Also, from now on, the five remaining shopkeepers of the silk shops will also be held by the five of you. If the five people over there have any dissatisfaction, let them come to me!
They don’t dare to come either!”
Mu Liang's words shocked shopkeeper Han, and then he looked at Mu Liang in surprise as if he had heard something incredible.
"Fourth Miss, this is inappropriate! Throughout the ages, when there are two shopkeepers in this shop, isn't it going to cause trouble?"
Mu Liang looked at Shopkeeper Han and smiled more and more cold-bloodedly.
"Aren't you very good at accounting? You can make fake things even more real than real ones! Finding a way to squeeze out those five people is not an easy task! Remember, squeezing them out is only one of them.
The second thing is that they can get back the money they gave away!"
Mu Liang's mission will undoubtedly cost the lives of these five old guys.
Shopkeeper Han looked at Mu Liang with embarrassment and lowered his voice and said,
"Fourth Miss, no matter how good I am at accounting, can't you see it? It's not easy for me and the other five to do the job they are doing right now. The guys who work part-time in other shops..."
"It doesn't matter, you don't have to do it! Or go to Dali Temple! There will be a commotion in the city, and the entire General's Mansion will collapse by then! I don't mind listing all the problem accounts of all 117 shops, anyway, it will
As far as I'm concerned, this General's Mansion has never brought me any benefit, so it would be best if it was destroyed! I just don't know how you will explain it to Nalan Minghui then!"
A cold and ruthless light flashed through Mu Liang's eyes, which made Shopkeeper Han and others tremble. You look at me, I look at you, and you feel trembling with fear.
They all came out to conquer the world with Nalan Minghui. They are all old people, how can they not understand this principle? Looking at the conversation, behavior, and momentum of the fourth lady in front of them, they definitely mean what they say.
Master, when the general comes back and the general's mansion is gone, will they have anything to say to the general?
Mu Liang saw that the expressions of the five people had become a little relaxed. He lowered his eyes and took a sip of hot tea and spoke lightly,
"I know that Nalan Minghui will come back in less than a month, so don't try to delay the time. I will give each of you ten days to deal with the shopkeepers of the other five shops within ten days.
There will be a reward. If you solve it beautifully, you will get a double reward! If a person makes a mistake, everyone here will be waiting to bury him with him!"
Mu Liang's voice was light, and there was no hint of emotion or anger, but every word she said just a moment ago blocked the escape route for Shopkeeper Han and others. For them now, the only thing they can do is listen to Mu Liang's words obediently.
It's time to go! However, Mu Liang still looked casual and cold at this moment. This made them even more afraid of Mu Liang's methods.
Shopkeeper Han sighed deeply, glanced at the other four people, and nodded silently.
The other four people have been standing in a half-crouching position for a long time. They are all older. Now they are suddenly relieved, but they find it difficult to stand up even with old bones.
Shopkeeper Han turned around and rushed towards Lao Li, hugging his three-year-old granddaughter. Seeing that the child was safe and sound in his arms, Shopkeeper Han almost cried with excitement.
The three-year-old girl opened her eyes wide and curiously touched her grandfather's face.
"Grandpa...that grandpa gave me a lot of delicious food, and said that grandpa came here because he behaved badly...Grandpa, what did you do wrong?"
When shopkeeper Han was asked this question by the child, he was immediately embarrassed and speechless.
Mu Liang clapped his hands at this time, stood up and walked to Shopkeeper Han. Shopkeeper Han immediately hugged his granddaughter nervously.
Mu Liang said coldly, "I have no interest in a three-year-old baby, and I won't use her to threaten you. I just want you to know that three years old means eighty. How do you teach her and let her watch her in the future?
She learns how to do it! Also, go back and write a letter to Nalan Minghui and tell him that I will be responsible for all the affairs of the General's Mansion from now on!"
After Mu Liang finished speaking, he waved his hand and told Shopkeeper Han to take the four people and leave.
The other four shopkeepers were finally able to move their bodies, and they limped out of the yard one by one, with expressions of pain on their faces.
After walking out of the courtyard, the five of them dared to whisper to each other and discuss.
"Shopkeeper Han, do you really want to listen to what these four ladies say?" One of the shopkeepers asked Shopkeeper Han with a worried look on his face.
Shopkeeper Han hugged his granddaughter tightly, sighed deeply and said,
"After all, she is the general's daughter. Didn't the rumors here have reached the general's ears a long time ago? The general has never given any orders, and he also asked the secret guards in Kyoto not to make any movements. This is not obvious.
Are you going to let the Fourth Miss make a fuss? Maybe the general really didn’t know what was going on before, but now that he’s come to his senses, he can’t tolerate the discussion of our subordinates. I will give the general a letter of divorce, and the rest will be left to the general.
Before replying to the letter or returning to Kyoto, for the time being, do as the fourth lady ordered. Don’t forget, it’s ten days! No delay!
Hey, I really have to risk my life!"
Shopkeeper Han shook his head helplessly, feeling that the fourth lady's heart was really dark and cruel.
