After Qin Ming explained to everyone again why he found out there was a problem with the labor expenses.
Everyone couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration for the young man in front of them.
Several girls present looked at the handsome young man who was standing in the crowd, counting the account books, and doing calculations for everyone with the paper, their eyes were full of admiration.
Princess Changle didn't know how many times this was, seeing such a scene, her heart fluctuated even more.
She was thinking that Qin Ming's brother was so talented and was highly valued by his father, the emperor and his mother. She wondered if she could convince her father to let her marry him.
Princess Danyang standing next to her, although she didn't understand, she also felt a little confused.
She loved to dance with swords and guns, so she couldn't understand what everyone was saying.
But when she saw her father looking at Qin Ming with an admiring expression, she also realized that Qin Ming might have said something extraordinary.
Ever since she hugged Qin Ming last time, she would often think of Qin Ming after returning home.
She didn't know why this happened. She should hate him very much.
But at this moment, looking at Qin Ming's look and thinking of his father's words just now, Li Xianzhi's heart was beating hard and his face was turning red.
Mou Tu saw Danyang's expression and thought she was blushing because of her mocking words, so she snorted at Li Xianzhi again.
When Li Xianzhi heard the sound, he turned around and saw Mou Tu making faces at him. Since His Majesty and others were still talking, he couldn't speak, so he glared at Mou Tu fiercely.
Seeing this, Yang Zijun felt helpless and pulled Mou Tu's sleeve.
She came to Qin Ming and asked:
"Sir, do you want to call the accountant over first and interrogate him?"
After hearing this, everyone came back to their senses.
Qin Ming did not answer Zijun immediately because he thought that the current teahouse accounting room should have been arranged by the royal family earlier, so he saluted his eldest grandson and said:
"Aunt, look..."
Queen Changsun didn't look good at this time.
First, because the teahouse’s accountant is a close confidant whom he arranged early in the morning. She didn't expect that her cronies would do such a thing.
Second, through this incident, she realized that it was too easy for people below to fool her through accounts. Not only internal funds, but also the six ministries of the DPRK and Central Government.
Seeing Qin Ming salute him, before Qin Ming could finish his words, the eldest grandson leaned forward slightly and said:
"My dear nephew, wait a moment. Auntie will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."
After saying that, she winked at Yuechan.
Yuechan nodded knowingly and walked out of the room.
Upon seeing this, Qin Ming returned to his seat, picked up Sizi naturally, put it on his lap, and then continued his feeding work.
Everyone was sitting in their seats, thinking about their own things, and no one said anything.
After a while, Yuechan led a middle-aged man into the room.
A middle-aged man named Chen has been taking care of the accounts of this shop for seven or eight years.
I often tampered with accounts in the past, but I have become a habitual offender over the years.
He is very confident in his ability to do accounting.
After all, for so many years, no one in the palace has ever been found to have a problem.
Since the opening of Ximenglou last month, he found that the business of the teahouse was better than before, so he made false accounts as usual last month.
He also colluded with several teahouse clerks and secretly stole some tea leaves from the warehouse and sold them, making a lot of money.
Hearing Yuechan say that the Queen was looking for him, Yuechan just told her to remember to call the Queen Madam for a while, and said nothing else.
He didn't think much and followed into the room.
After arriving in the room, he saw a group of people sitting in the room. He did not dare to look around. He lowered his eyebrows and walked to Changsun and Li Er to salute and said:
"Alang, madam."
When Queen Changsun saw the visitor, she snorted coldly and said:
"Accountant Chen, do you know why I called you here?"
Accountant Chen heard the chill in the Queen's words.
His heart tightened, but he didn't think that what he had done would be found out. So, he pretended to be calm and said:
"The villain doesn't know."
The eldest grandson was still thinking about her old relationship, but when Accountant Chen refused to admit it, she picked up the running accounts on the table, threw them to the ground, and said:
"You still dare to be harsh. Do you think that others can't see if you tamper with the accounts? You still dare to be harsh at this time."
Accountant Chen was shocked when he heard this, but he still refused to admit that he had made false accounts, so he said:
"I don't dare. I have never done anything wrong. I remember every sum of money in the account clearly. I will never make a mistake."
The eldest grandson's face turned red when he heard this.
Because internal funds and royal business were within the scope of the queen's authority, Li Shimin never spoke.
But at this time, Li Shimin saw that his eldest grandson's face was red with anger, and he quickly stood up, held his eldest grandson's hand, and comforted him softly:
"Guanyin Maid, you are in good health, don't be angry about this."
Changsun looked at his hand being held, then looked at Li Erdao:
"Erlang."
Qin Ming coughed when he saw this, walked to the accountant with Si Zi in his arms, and said:
"Let me ask you, where did the 100 kilograms of tea that were missing from the warehouse go? And last month, the boy's wages should have been four guan, so why is it recorded in your account as 5 guan, and... ..”
"Don't tell me, you don't know."
Every time Qin Ming said something, Accountant Chen's heart sank a little.
Until later, Accountant Chen's face turned pale and he collapsed to the ground.
Qin Ming felt that the heat was almost done, so he said:
"As long as you tell the truth, name the people who stole tea with you in the teahouse, and make up for the losses of the teahouse. I can plead with aunt not to report you to the government."
The eldest grandson nodded and said:
"Well, Accountant Chen, as long as you tell the truth, I... I will never pursue it."
When Accountant Chen heard this, he knelt on the ground and told exactly what he had done, including several boys who had colluded with him before, and he also recruited them.
Li Shimin and others were very angry when they heard this. He couldn't help but think that a small teahouse accountant, relying on his arithmetic skills, dared to blatantly squander the teahouse's money.
What about Datang’s money bag and household department?
Thinking of this, he clenched his palms and glanced at Qin Ming opposite, holding Si Zi.
In the end, Changsun did not punish the accountant, but asked him to return Tan Mo's property, and drove him and several other scoundrels out of the house.
After the incident was over, Changsun said to Qin Ming:
"Made my good nephew laugh."
When Qin Ming heard this, he waved his hands and said:
"Auntie is serious. It's not your fault. Besides, it's easy for someone to take advantage of such a running account, so you don't have to worry about it."
When the eldest grandson heard this, he looked at Qin Ming, sighed and said quietly:
"Hey, dear nephew, you don't know something. Many of my aunt's family's properties are managed by these servants. My aunt is thinking, do you think there will be people in other industries who make false accounts like him to fool my aunt? . Auntie feels a little worried and a little dizzy just thinking about it."
As he spoke, he touched his forehead with his hand, looking like he was about to faint.
Li Shimin hurriedly walked to his eldest grandson, took his hand and comforted him softly:
"Guanyin Maid, are you okay? Don't scare me."
Changle and others also hurriedly gathered around and comforted him softly.
Empress Changsun squinted her eyes and couldn't bear to see her husband's worried look.
I saw Li Er's figure blocking everyone's sight again.
Empress Changsun then secretly blinked at Li Er.
Li Er was so amused by Zhang Sun's playful look that he almost laughed out loud, but he immediately understood what Zhang Sun meant.
Then he sighed and said:
"Mr. Guanyin, don't worry, there will always be a way. Hey, it would be great if we had someone in our house who is so good at checking accounts."
Qin Ming finally understood at this time that Li Er and his wife wanted to poach him.
