As soon as April passed, the spring seedlings came to an end, and Li Baolu also began to call the stewards in Beijing and Baoding to check the accounts.

After an investigation, I found out that she is now in negative equity, because Spring Planting, two farms in Baoding and a farm in Beijing have borrowed money from Dechang Silver to buy seeds and farm implements. The two shops in Baoding are in surplus, but the income That's enough for their monthly expenses.

   And the three shops in the capital were even more ruthless. They also borrowed money from Dechang Yinhao, on the grounds that they were buying goods. The three shops together borrowed 1,200 taels of silver.

Well, Wenquan Zhuangzi also borrowed, because they want to maintain Zhuangzi and repair the house, but the master has not allocated money, and they did this earlier. also.

   This loan was repaid again and again. According to the records in the ledger, in the end, she had to put in the money to repay the silver, not to mention the income.

  Li Baolu laughed angrily. They have only been able to get in and out in the past few months, so the 1,000 taels from selling paintings are now only more than 500 taels. Co-authoring her is now a negative asset!

   After checking the account, Li Baolu turned her head to the hearts and said, "Go to the study and bring me the box on the top of the second row of bookshelves."

The nine stewards below    looked at each other, lowered their heads and stood up.

   As soon as they knew that they would be assigned to Gu Jingyun, they thought of a countermeasure, but from February to April, the spring seeds were over and the masters did not call them.

   makes them unable to say anything, but it suffocates them to death.

  It's all right now, and I finally have a chance to speak.

  Everyone is waiting for the questioning and anger of the new master.

   Hearts didn't know what they were thinking, so he walked quickly to the study to get something.

  Li Baolu was angry, but only for a moment, and then smiled. After opening the box and re-checking the contract of sale, she laughed even more happily.

   These nine people, from themselves to their grandsons, are all dead deeds. Fortunately, she had a good mind before she left, and she wanted to take away all the immediate family members who were assigned to her servants.

   Li Baolu closed the box with a "snap" and sneered, they belonged to him from body to heart, and she was worried about a ball.

   She swept them around with a half-smile, and said, "There are too many accounts, I can't read them all at once. You can find an inn in the city to stay and wait for me to check the accounts before leaving."

   Nine people were stunned, this, this is the end?

   The stewards of the three shops in the capital couldn't help but say, "Madam, our home is in the capital, so we don't need to stay in an inn, right?"

"No," Li Baolu said with a sullen face: "Those three shops are not in the same direction as me. You guys are going back. If I want to ask someone to ask questions, I have to ask someone to ask for it. First, find a nearby inn to stay and prepare for the uncle's return in the evening. I want to ask you something."

  Li Baolu turned to Hearts and said, "Let Erlin lead them out to the inn and open a room for them."

"My wife is annoyed by the fact that we borrowed money from Dechang Silver?" The manager of the farm in the suburbs of Beijing said with a face full of shame: "It's the servants and other incompetents, the natural disasters have been constant in the past two years, and the fields of our farm are not rich enough. The sales outweighed the income, so I had no choice but to borrow money from Dechang Silver, but my wife can rest assured that we will be able to repay the money after the summer and autumn harvests are over."

  Li Baolu squinted at him, and said solemnly, "You step back first and wait until I check the account."

  The nine people had no choice but to step down. They had already taken the initiative to bring up this topic. Who knows if the wife still avoided talking about it, because the man was not around because he lacked confidence or was he holding back?

  The five stewards from Baoding were confused, but the four stewards in the capital all thought of Li Baolu's plan, and the four were uneasy. They had already carefully smoothed out the account, so the other party wouldn't find out, right?

   In fact, Li Baolu didn't check it at all. She only looked at it once and knew that there was a problem with the ledger. As for where there was a problem, why did she check it?

   This is not a modern company in memory, and it still needs to get evidence to testify.

  Humph, are these people all her servants, or are they the servants who signed the death deed and just copy the house?

   Efforts to check accounts may not be able to find out all the problems.

  Li Baolu got up and took a purse and hearts to go out.

  Lingsheng Street was bustling with many pedestrians. Li Baolu stood at the intersection of the street and looked for a while before finding the person she was looking for.

   A young man with a fierce face was standing in front of a booth and shouted loudly: "Selling flowers, selling flowers, peony flowers, peach blossoms, roses, all kinds of flowers cultivated by first-class flower farmers in Baoding—"

  Li Baolu stood in front of his booth, looked at him with a half-smile and said, "Brother changed to selling flowers? Not bad, not bad!"

The fierce-faced young man was still a little puzzled when he saw her, but when he saw that she pinched a peach blossom head between her fingers and stuck her hand on the head of the girl behind her without turning, her expression changed, she spread her legs and was about to run, but Li Baolu was quick with her hands. One of them grabbed his belt, and he felt his pants loose and quickly grabbed them, so they didn't fall off.

   "What are you running, I won't eat you!"

The face of the    fierce-faced youth changed again and again, and finally covered his pants and whispered to please: "Auntie, now that we have changed our minds, I will sell flowers and earn some money to make a living..."

"You're a ghost if you believe in me," Li Baolu glanced at him and said, "Yesterday you clearly set up a stall to sell small jewelry, and I saw that stupid big man standing at the intersection selling books, why, you want to steal it. people live here?"

  The fierce-faced youth took a deep breath, and only then did he know that they had been targeted.

   He stared blankly at the girl in front of him. How could their luck be so bad? Last year, she was hacked and took away 20,000 taels. This time it was even worse.

   I have been stepping on the spot in vain these days.

  Li Baolu smiled as her eyes wandered. When she saw the big silly man who was quietly retreating behind him and wanted to run away, the smile became even brighter. She happily waved at him, "Big silly guy, come here, your brother is here."

   The fierce-faced young man turned his head stiffly, and sure enough, he saw the fifth brother was escaping on his feet.

  Idiot! The fierce-faced young man thought to himself, what is the truth in front of her and running fast!

   But with her light power, even if they tried their best to suckle, they probably wouldn't be able to escape.

   The stupid big man and the fierce-faced youth stood in front of Li Baolu dejectedly.

"We didn't steal or rob," the two of them swore. "Really, we've changed our minds now. After all, stealing and robbing are not the right way. They can save the emergency, but not the poor. That's why we chose to come to the capital, which is prosperous here. , even a small business can feed us.”

  Li Baolu was amazed, "It's so well edited, go ahead, I'm listening."

  The two pursed their lips and looked at Li Baolu stubbornly.

   Li Baolu asked, "What about your boss and the other two brothers?"

  The two of them kept their mouths tightly shut and decided not to open their mouths even in the face of the rain of swords, spears and swords. If you have the ability, you will kill us.

   Of course Li Baolu didn't kill them, and didn't even beat them. She just said with a smile, "I have a business I want to talk to your boss about, just make money and not lose money."

   The two expressed that they were not tempted, and repeatedly emphasized: "We have stopped doing illegal things, girl, go find someone else."

   "Yes," the silly big man said with justice, "We are good people now."

   "I am also a good citizen," Li Baolu said with a pure face: "Don't worry, I am talking to you about legal business, not illegal."

   The two of them firmly didn’t believe it. Why did the legitimate business come to them?

  The first time they met, they were robbing. Well, they robbed Yuan Fang, and then she robbed them.

  Thinking of this, the two of them were full of tears. She was more vicious than the five of them combined. She even talked to them about legal business. Do they look like fools?

   The two of them are determined not to cooperate.

  Li Baolu's mouth was dry. Seeing that the two of them were unmoved at all, as soon as their temper came up, their eyes widened and their face became stern, and said coldly, "Are you two taking me to see your boss?"

   "Don't bring it!" The two of them were very heroic.

  Li Baolu sneered, nodded and said, "Very good! Then I will strip you naked and hang them on the city gate, and let the yamen send you to the palace to clean up and become eunuchs!"

   The two thieves blushed and said angrily, "Bitch!"

   "You're right," Li Baolu said with a wicked smile, "You can't use cheap tricks on **** like you who don't eat hard and soft."

  The two looked at each other, wandering between chastity and affection, and finally bowed their heads and succumbed to lead the way for her.

   There is no way, they can't fight, they can't escape, they can't escape. Anyway, their elder brother is also on this street, and they will be discovered sooner or later.

  The two led Li Baolu across a street and saw the boss who was sitting in front of the book stand and shouting.

  The boss casually looked up the street, and then saw his two younger brothers, and naturally also saw the girl behind the younger brother.

   He frowned slightly, thinking to himself, why did the third child follow the fourth child to find a woman?

   But when they came over to him, he realized that something was wrong, he stood up and squinted at the girl, staring at him warily.

  The silly big man immediately walked two steps to the boss's ear and said, "Big brother, she is the one who robbed us of our money in Guangzhou."

   The boss froze in his heart, is this someone came to the door?

   He thought about it and felt that he had not done anything bad recently, so he straightened his chest and said to Li Baolu confidently: "The woman in white, stay safe, are you here to play in the capital?"

   "No, I live in Beijing."

   It's no wonder that the standard mandarin is a native of Beijing, so why go to Guangzhou when you have nothing to do?

   caused them to lose 20,000 taels in vain.

   "It turns out that the female hero lives in the capital," the boss said with a smile: "It seems that we have a good relationship. We also live in the capital now."

   "Yeah, I also think we have a special fate, so there is a business I want to do with you. I wonder if you are interested?"

  The boss immediately said righteously: "We have already turned our backs on evil, and now we are good people, doing some small business to make a living. Forgive us for not being able to help the heroine."

   "That's the best, I'm also a good citizen now, don't worry, what I ask you to do is legal!"

   The boss doesn't believe it, and the fierce face and the silly big man have the same disbelief.

   Li Baolu is sad, is she so bad in their hearts?

   Obviously she is a good girl, but she has never done anything bad in her life.
