Chapter 258 Ledger
The shopkeeper inside was lazily sleeping behind the cabinet, and even the waiter in the shop was so sleepy that he dozed off, and didn't show any signs when people came in. An Shuyao narrowed her eyes slightly, and put the token into her sleeve.

She walked around casually, but the two people in the store still didn't seem to stand up, so she coughed: "Xiao Er, how much is this cloth?"

The shop waiter who was woken up opened his eyes dissatisfied: "Isn't there a price tag on it? Fine cotton costs five cents a piece. You can buy it one by one if you want. Our store doesn't dismantle cloth."

Buying cloth but not tearing it down is the first time I've seen An Shuyao.

Everyone's needs are different. Some people only need a few feet of various styles. No wonder the business of this store is so sluggish.

An Shuyao sneered in her heart, her expression unchanged: "Shopkeeper, I only need five feet, so I can't buy one."

The waiter in the shop rolled his eyes at An Shuyao when he heard the words: "If you can't afford it, don't hang around here. How much is a piece of cloth worth? It's all for the poor here. Go out and don't sell it."

An Shuyao was about to be laughed at. With such a service attitude, she was lazy, and even lost her temper at the customers. If she had business, she was really in trouble.

Her face turned cold, and she walked up to the shopkeeper who had her eyes closed and seemed to have nothing to do with herself. She kicked him on the chair fiercely, and the shopkeeper of Buzhuang lost his balance and fell to the ground with the chair and him.

He clutched his waist and yelled: "Oh, who killed me with a thousand swords? My old waist is broken."

An Shuyao looked down at him condescendingly, it would not be possible to fall down, judging from his huge physique, it is very likely that his waist is dodging.

The waiter in the shop turned pale with shock, and hurriedly stepped forward to help: "Uncle, are you alright?"

Hearing this title, An Shuyao suddenly realized that the co-authors are still a family, no wonder the shopkeeper didn't seem to notice the actions of the waiter.

The shopkeeper of the cloth shop leaned on his waist and glared at An Shuyao angrily: "Little lady, what do you mean? My nephew even said that he would not sell loose cloth, why are you so angry and hurt others? Today I am so injured. Don’t even think about leaving without 100 taels of compensation!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the shop waiter blocked the door aggressively with a stick, and Chuuxue touched the sword beside him, but An Shuyao raised his hand to stop him.

She sneered, raised her head and said, "I haven't paid much attention to these few pieces of cloth. What I'm dissatisfied with is your perfunctory service attitude. Even if you call the officials from Xizhou Gongfu to come today, it's useless." , I want to see if the people behind you are more powerful, or my side has more power."

These words successfully bluffed the shopkeeper of the cloth shop, and then he observed An Shuyao carefully, and found that she was wearing silk clothes, and a set started with a three-figure price, and he instantly lost his mind.

Coupled with the arrogance and contempt in An Shuyao's eyes, and the innate noble temperament, he was really frightened, thinking that he had offended some great nobleman.

In an instant, the cold sweat dripped from the corner of his forehead, and then he nodded and bowed down with a flattering smile to make amends: "Ma'am, the little one just ran into Madam in too much haste, please don't blame Madam. It’s on Wang Street, but the business is not good, and it’s been losing money.” After finishing speaking, he glanced quietly outside, wondering why: “Besides, this shop has been favored by the Wang family, and they have sent managers here several times to try to buy ours. The store, because the owner behind the scenes is not there, we can't be the masters."

Wang family?

An Shuyao had inquired about it when she went to Xizhou Gongfu.

In this big city, there are four major families second only to the state lord.

They are the Shu family, the Fang family, the Jiang family, and the Wang family.

Among them, the Shu family is the dominant one, and the Wang family and the Shu family are relatively close, and the two together monopolize the cloth and ready-made clothing market.

Fang's family and Jiang's family are the main restaurant, and the family hosts beauty products for women.

The Wang family took a fancy to this store, and there are many factors that lead to poor business. The first is the suppression of the Wang family. That is, the shopkeeper in the store had already betrayed, and his heart was already towards the Wang family, so he deliberately let the store lose money.

And An Tanqing didn't know about the Xizhou Gong Mansion, and he didn't think too deeply about the store when he bought it, so he didn't care about the loss or profit, which made this group of people more and more arrogant, and they didn't take it behind them at all. The boss takes it seriously.

The shopkeeper of the cloth village originally mentioned the Wang family to make An Shuyao feel afraid. No matter how powerful you are behind you, don't provoke the Wang family, but An Shuyao just sneered, then took out the shop's token, and said slowly: "You guys are the ones who are killed. Fired, don't come back tomorrow."

The shopkeeper of the cloth shop looked at the token, his face changed, he was bombed, and the person who bombed him was just the behind-the-scenes owner of this shop. He gave An Shuyao a vicious look: "You wait, the Wang family will not let you go, what the Wang family wants, you have to give it up even if the king of heaven comes."

An Shuyao had a smile on her lips, and Chuuxue came out from nowhere, carrying a stack of ledgers, An Shuyao looked through them, and found that they were not only slowing down their work, but also misappropriating public funds without authorization.

Because the money doesn't match every year.

"You go home and wait. If you are greedy for the money in the store, I will send you a receipt. If you don't pay it back, you will go to jail."

The shopkeeper's eyes widened, looking at the account book in Fuxue's hand and wanting to grab it, but he was afraid of the sword in his hand, and finally turned around unwillingly and left: "Nephew, let's go! I want to see her as a woman." How can someone fight with the Wang family!"

The two of them left the shop, judging by their hasty pace, they should have complained to the Wang family.

An Shuyao was not afraid, she turned her head and asked Chuuxue: "Where did you find the ledger?"

Secret things like ledgers are usually locked in cabinets.

Fuxue silently looked at a curtain next to the stairs on the second floor, inside was a room for people to rest: "I saw it on the table inside."

An Shuyao was a little speechless, probably because An Tanqing hadn't asked about the store for so many years, which gave them the confidence to embezzle and embezzle.

Because no one is in charge, and there is no need to worry about auditing the accounts, they have relaxed their vigilance over time and simply put it outside. If the house deed was not in An Binqing's hands, they might have sold the shop, and the money would not To An Tanqing's hands.

An Shuyao sighed lightly, looked at the cloth in the store again and said: "This store should be closed first, I guess the Wang family will come to the door in a few days, let's go to a few other stores first, if they are all Moths need to be cleaned up in time.”

Chuuxue nodded, closed the store door, and followed behind An Shuyao step by step.

Guxuan Inn
This is the inn where Lu Jin and the others stayed, and Jian Yingning, dressed in red, walked in.

She looked at the extremely poor environment in the store with disgust, raised her head to signal, and the maid beside her immediately threw a portrait in front of the innkeeper in a sensible way: "Let this young man staying in your store come out to meet us quickly Princess!"
