This "get out" sound is full of energy.
Although the pressure is very low, if you listen carefully, you can still hear the difference between Mr. Xu's voice.
But Ma San and Zhao Wu still have the energy to analyze these.
The God of Wealth got angry, and in order not to bring about bad luck, they rolled around and left the study.
Seeing that no one was watching, Xiao Mu quickly took away the porcelain bottle and turned on the switch of the secret compartment.
Xiao Mu had already heard the noise outside.
He stood guard at the entrance of the secret compartment. When he saw the secret compartment opened, he immediately tightened his grip on the candlestick in his hand.
It wasn't until he saw Xiao Mu standing at the door that he breathed a sigh of relief.
The whole person relaxes.
"Take your account book and leave quickly." Xiao Mu saw his nervousness but did not reveal it.
Xu Cai threw down the candlestick, leaned over to pick up the wrapped account book, and followed Xiao Mu.
After the two people went out, they went straight to the backyard and ran all the way to the dog hole.
"Get out of here, get dressed and wait for me outside." Xiao Mu said, then turned around and went back.
"how about you?"
Xu Cai grabbed his arm.
"I have something else to do. I'll come out to see you right away."
Xu Cai had no choice but to let go and sent the account book out of the hole first, then leaned over and crawled out of the dog hole.
After going out, he took out the account book and put it into the basket he brought with him. He also gathered a handful of grass and covered it with the account book.
He had just put on his coat when he heard several shouts suddenly coming from the courtyard: "The water is running out, the water is running out."
"Did you get lost?" Xu Cai was shocked.
His house is on fire? What if a fire breaks out and the house is destroyed?
Seeing that the direction of the thick smoke should be the study, Xu Cai lay down and wanted to crawl back to check.
Suddenly, he felt a blur in front of his eyes, and Xiao Mu seemed to fall from the sky and land in front of his eyes.
"What are you doing?" Xiao Mu couldn't help but frown when he saw him lying at the entrance of the cave with his butt sticking out.
"I, I want to see where the fire is." Xu Cai felt guilty.
"It's the study door. I set the fire. Don't worry, someone will come to put out the fire soon."
"Did you set the fire?" Xu Cai was very surprised.
They had obviously taken out the account books, so why did they set fire to it?
"If we don't set a fire, should we let Mr. Xu wake up and go home directly?" After Xiao Mu finished speaking, he walked away.
Xu Cai suddenly realized.
There is a fire in Xu's study, but shopkeeper Xu, who has nothing to do with it, appears here.
This alone is enough for Xu Zhongyuan to drink a pot.
"Brother Xiao is still thoughtful!" Xu Cai extended his thumb.
Xiao Mu slapped his hand back.
"It's better to leave quickly."
The two people no longer cared about what happened inside Xu's house, walked around the path to the street, and went home directly.
On the way home, Xu Cai kept pestering Xiao Mu and asked how he came out just now.
"Why do I feel like my eyes are dazzled, and all of a sudden, you come out?"
"Do you know martial arts?"
"Won't!"
"Then why did you jump so high?"
Xiao Mu ignored him.
Xiao Mu didn't answer Xu Cai's question until he arrived at the door of Xiao's house.
Xu Zhengxiang waited anxiously at home.
Every once in a while, I have to go to the door and look around.
It wasn't until the two of them entered the courtyard that Xu Zhengxiang patted her chest:
"You are finally back!"
"Is that so? Have you found anything?"
"Found it!" Xu Cai looked excited.
"Brother Xiao and I also discovered a big secret!"
"What secret?"
"That Xu Zhongyuan is really involved in this matter. He sneaked into my study today to look for the account books!"
Xu Zhengxiang's heart started to rise again: "I heard that there are people in the Xu family in Beijing? Will this matter cause a big fuss?"
Xiao Mu replied, "If shopkeeper Xu really sells illegal salt, Xu Cai may not be able to escape the involvement. Our knowledge is limited, and now we can only look for clues from the account books."
"This shopkeeper Xu is really an old fox!" Xu Zhengxiang cursed after hearing this.
"What does this matter have to do with our family? He insisted on sending his son to us because he wanted to involve our family, right?"
Xu Cai's face turned red when he heard this.
"Aunt Xiao, I'm sorry."
"If something happens to my father, I will leave immediately and I will never drag you down."
Xu Zhengxiang looked at Xu Cai, "Speaking of which, you and I still have the same surname, and we might have been the same family eight hundred years ago. But I put the ugly words first. It's not that my Xiao family didn't take responsibility when things happened, but this matter , has nothing to do with my family at all.
If your Xu family really commits any major crime in the future, I will definitely send you to the Yamen. "
Xu Cai felt a little uncomfortable, but still nodded.
"But if you really have a grievance." Xu Zhengxiang paused and said, "We are willing to do our best to help you. As for the outcome, it can only depend on your luck."
Xu Cai's eyes turned red.
"Auntie, no matter what happens in the future, I, Xu Cai, will always remember the Xiao family's great kindness."
"Okay, you kid doesn't look like a bad person. I don't understand these things either. Let Mu'er and Xin'er help you with the rest."
Xu Zhengxiang waved her hand and went to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Walking into the kitchen, seeing Ye Luoxin still lighting the fire, Xu Zhengxiang came closer and said, "How is it? Is what I just said good?"
Ye Luoxin blinked at her.
"Mom, you are so amazing!"
Xu Zhengxiang smiled proudly: "It's not what you said. You want to be kind and powerful at the same time. If it were my way, I wouldn't be this good man."
"If they really committed a crime, we will definitely have nothing to do with it, but if the father and son are unjustly accused, we take the opportunity to recruit them, which will be of great use in the future."
Ye Luoxin said as she added a handful of firewood to the bottom of the pot.
Her face shone in the firelight.
Xu Zhengxiang took a look and became more and more satisfied with this daughter-in-law.
"As expected of my daughter-in-law, she is bold and thinks far ahead, but she is different from others!" Xu Zhengxiang thought.
…
After dinner, Xu Cai couldn't wait to take out the account book and look at it.
Xu Cai now regrets that he didn't ask his father for advice on how to keep accounts. Now looking at the dense numbers, he has no idea where to start.
Seeing how worried he was, Ye Luoxin picked up a ledger and started reading it.
She didn't quite understand the first two pages, but as she turned further back, she actually saw some clues.
Xu Zishang's accounting method is somewhat similar to modern debit and credit accounting. Income and expenditure are recorded in separate columns and correspond to each other.
She pointed out the account book to Xu Cai, "Shopkeeper Xu clearly remembers the accounts. Every income has a corresponding expenditure."
"There are too many ledgers now, and you definitely can't read them all by yourself. I'll ask Xiao Jing to come over, and let's all help together to see if we can find out the problem!"
Yesterday’s reminder went from 23 to over 100, which really shocked me! I hope I can do well today and hit 200 without any pressure! In addition, I would like to thank myStiC, tSUlin, and Little White Rabbit who always likes to eat grass on the edge of the nest and soft and glutinous cakes (●￣(ｴ)￣●) for leaving me precious five-star reviews. Thank you very much! There is nothing to repay, so I just immerse myself in typing hard!
