Jia Huan shook his head and said: "Shopkeeper Gao, you really won't shed tears until you see the coffin, and you won't die until you see the Yellow River. I probably know your thoughts. You probably think that I can't find out your previous accounts." Not the slightest clue.”
"After all, it has been a long time, and even if there are any clues, they have been cut off. So you are lucky in your heart. If you are greedy for ink only this time, you can still get a lighter sentence. But if even the money you used to be greedy for ink is revealed, You probably won’t die well.”
"But I'm here to give you a guarantee. As long as you honestly confess the fact that you were greedy in the past, I can intercede with you and let you forget the blame. Think about it carefully and don't make any mistakes."
Jia Huan's words shocked shopkeeper Gao again.
I have to say that this third master is really terrifying. It is even more accurate than looking into his mind. This is what he thinks in his heart.
But even if he was seen through, he would never confess. The number of his corruption was too great. Once everything is revealed, there will be absolutely nothing good to gain from him.
Thinking of this, shopkeeper Gao quickly said: "Third Master, I really haven't been greedy for money before. I hope Third Master can learn from this."
Hearing what Shopkeeper Gao said, Jia Huan sneered: "You really won't shed tears until you see the coffin, and you won't give up until you reach the Yellow River!"
"In that case, please ask Brother Xue to get the account books made by Shopkeeper Gao last year. I will check it and find out."
Xue Pan responded and immediately ordered someone to get the account book.
At this time, Shopkeeper Gao felt a little guilty, but he still had some confidence.
The accounts he used to do were different from those he did in the perfume shop.
The accounts at the perfume shop were actually kept intact, and he was afraid of being found out, so he only tampered with the details.
His previous accounts were much bolder. He didn't even bother to make such false accounts, but directly tampered with the account books.
However, this kind of tricks cannot be seen by old accountants. Even a long-time accountant would be hard-pressed to find out so many at once.
He didn't believe that this third master, who was very good at reading, could be so good at accounting.
Not long after, last year's account books were brought over.
Jia Huan opened the account book, then took out a few blank papers, holding a charcoal pen in his hand, and drew a table on the blank paper.
Then he began to record some crooked numbers on it. Xue Baochai stood behind Jia Huan and didn't even see what Brother Huan wrote, but it always seemed very powerful.
Within an hour, Jia Huan had put all the numbers on the account onto the white paper.
Next, Jia Huan took out another piece of white paper and began to calculate.
Xue Baochai was also confused by Jia Huan's calculations and couldn't understand what he was writing.
Another half an hour passed, and Jia Huan seemed to have finally finished his calculations.
He couldn't help but smile and said: "Shopkeeper Gao is really smart. In one year, he wasted 7,832 taels of silver."
This number, like a thunderbolt, resounded in front of Shopkeeper Gao's eyes and stunned him.
The amount of money he spent last year was even more than this amount.
But what is reflected in the account book is indeed this number, without a penny difference.
Shopkeeper Gao also set up a private ledger, and clearly recorded the amount of money he had embezzled every year over the years.
Last year, he indeed spent 7,832 taels of silver.
At this moment, he felt no luck.
Since the Third Master can check the accounts accurately, he would be really stupid if he pretends to be crazy.
He quickly fell to his knees and knelt down like garlic.
He wailed: "The third master is wise, the third master is wise, my master has mercy on me, my master has mercy on me. I don't dare to hide anything anymore."
"Over the years in the Xue family, the little old man really didn't dare to be greedy at first. It wasn't until the little old man's grandson was born that he became greedy in order to give his grandson a better future."
"In these years, the little old man has embezzled a total of 37,617 taels of silver. The little old man really dare not hide it at all."
"Because in the past few years, the little old man was timid, and he only dared to embezzle a few hundred taels of silver a year. Later, he became more and more courageous, and there were more and more people who embezzled ink. Last year, he embezzled a total of 7,830 taels of silver. Two taels of silver is the most you can get in a year."
"If the little old man hides anything again, I will let the little old man cut off his children and grandchildren. The little old man knows that his sins are serious, and this little man must die."
"The little old man is willing to hand over all the money he has earned from greed. The little old man is willing to die. He only asks for mercy from his employer and spares the lives of the little old man's family."
Xue Pan was furious and called for beating him to death.
Aunt Xue was hesitant. She couldn't help but ask Xue Baochai: "My son, in your opinion, how should I deal with it?"
Xue Baochai smiled slightly, and then said: "Mom, for a high shopkeeper, tens of thousands of taels of silver is actually not a big deal."
Xue Baochai turned to Jia Huan and asked, "I wonder if I can ask Brother Huan to help my Xue family check the accounts of the major shops?"
"I, the Xue family, will naturally not let Brother Huan help me in vain. I will be rewarded."
Hearing this, Xue Pan's eyes lit up and he said: "Yes, yes, my sister is right. All the shopkeepers in our family are not good people. It's time to investigate them severely!"
"This bitch with the surname Gao only has more than 30,000 silver in his pocket, and other families will certainly have the same amount. If we check all these bitches, we will find out at least several million dollars."
"Brother Huan, you must help me with this."
Even Aunt Xue's eyes showed surprise.
If Brother Huan can really check all the shops for them, it will be like bringing the dead back to life for the Xue family. It is really important to them.
Jia Huan shook his head and said, "Brother Xue, Sister Bao, your shops are rare in the capital. They are almost all over Daxia."
"And I will take part in the general examination in February or March next year. If I pass the general examination, I will also prepare for the palace examination."
"Besides, I have to prepare for the exam, so I really can't spare the time."
After hearing Jia Huan's words, Aunt Xue, Xue Baochai and Xue Pan's eyes dimmed.
But what Brother Huan said is very reasonable. People have to prepare for the National Examination, and the National Examination is much more important than this little thing about the Xue family.
How could anyone waste their time helping them?
Even if they change their identities, the Xue family won't help.
Thinking of this, Xue Baochai forced a smile and said: "Brother Huan is right, I failed to consider it. It is more important for Brother Huan to participate in the examination, and Brother Huan should focus on preparing for the examination."
Then I heard Jia Huan say: "However, I can teach you how to audit the accounts, and you can organize the audits on your own."
This sentence brought about a sudden turn of events and made Aunt Xue's family excited again.
