After the villains heard my voice, they all lost their composure.

Chapter 48

When the three of them arrived at the front hall, the atmosphere in the hall was very warm and there were constant compliments. As the chief steward of the princess's palace, Yan Cunxiang could greet these people with ease.

When they saw the three people entering, everyone stood up and bowed to Yan Muan.

The people who can sit here are all very capable. Everyone has bought spies in the princess's mansion. They all know about Yan Muan's return to the mansion and the arrival of the Yan family, so it is not surprising to see them now.

Yan Mu'an walked to the top and turned around to look at these people. He saw that these people were looking at them secretly, some had indifferent eyes, and some looked uneasy. Although they tried their best to hide their expressions, the bullets on their foreheads were very lively.

[It’s almost Chinese New Year, and the princess is still in the princess’ mansion. The situation is not good. 】

[Why are the people of the Yan family coming back? Earlier, the princess never allowed the people of the Yan family to interfere with the property in the mansion. Now she wants to interfere? 】

[The accounts have been done so that there are no problems, so this year should be smooth, right? 】

Yan Mu'an smiled and said, "Everyone in charge, you don't have to be polite, just take a seat."

The stewards sat down respectfully. The leader, named Zhu, was the chief steward of Yongxing Bank. He was the first to speak, "Princess, today the nineteen stewards of Yongxing Bank brought their respective accounts and profit statements. Come and pay the account.”

As in previous years, all the stewards brought the account books to her together. There were so many partial account books that they had to be packed in boxes. In the past, whenever the silly elder sister felt a headache, she would say that they were all old people left behind by her mother. I feel relieved that you are doing the work. No need to check or anything like that.

The stewards were naturally in a happy mood. After all, they were all very greedy, and it was not easy to see the clues in the accounts, and they even made money on the surface.

It can be said that everyone is happy.

Yan Mu'an took an account book casually, as if she had thought of something and said, "When my mother was here, she always said that you stewards were all chosen by her. You are capable and know how to be grateful. I have repeatedly asked this princess to thank you." You are better."

The stewards didn't know what she meant by this, so they could only follow him to remember Princess Xiang.

Yan Mu'an smiled again and said: "I never understood why my mother trusted you so much before, but now I finally understand. From the time my father and mother left until now, you have not lost money once in the past ten years."

This is the first loophole that Yan Mude discovered. There is no business where there is no loss, but the princess's mansion does not have the property. Even if the market is not good, even if the book situation is much worse than before, there is still no loss, so ask Li Not great.

Hearing what Yan Mu'an said, these stewards had a hint of unnoticeable vigilance in their eyes, and a hint of anger towards some of the people present. Before they could say anything, the barrage on their foreheads became lively again, [No loss?How can this be? 】

[Okay, we agreed to take turns, but we are all deceiving each other, right? 】

[Damn it, who has been doing business without losing money for so many years? What on earth is going on with these bastards? 】

[Sure enough, it’s definitely not a good thing if the Yan family doesn’t come! 】

Yan Mu'an looked very happy, "A few days ago, my cousin mentioned that the Yan clan had lost a lot of money. I told him that you had never lost money, but he still didn't believe it and had to see it with his own eyes."

"Cousin, are you convinced?"

Yan Mude let go of everyone and said, "I'm convinced. Now that I have some free time, I'll ask all the shopkeepers to give me some advice."

Seeing that Yan Mu'an had no intention of getting angry, the stewards guessed that she might really think that she was quite capable without losing money. Several of them relaxed again and said with a smile: "It's not that we are great, it's the princess who is. In the past, The methods the county bishop gave us to do business still work well today."

"Yes, the princess has entrusted us with such an important matter. We dare not relax even a little bit, and we dare not make any mistakes." "Yes, the princess is indeed a strange woman, and her methods are very easy to use."

Yan Muan smiled with satisfaction, "It is indeed the person chosen by my mother. He is indeed different."

"The person standing behind you is your son."

Yongxingxing has become a family business for these people, and they are all preparing for their sons to take over my job. In the past two years, they have to take it with them every year when they come to do accounting. All the managers stood up one after another and motioned to those who were standing to come out and salute Yan Muan. .

These people are far worse than their father. Even the bullets on their foreheads are so honest and uneasy. [When the princess said this, did she know that my father had tampered with the accounts?]

[Only 20 taels are left, so they can’t be discovered, right? 】

[My father has become more and more courageous in the past two years. What will happen if he is discovered? 】

Yan Mu'an smiled meaningfully, "They are all the pillars of our future in Changxingxing. We must learn from your father and learn all their skills."

Footsteps came quickly outside the gate. When I got closer, I saw it was Fulai. I only heard Fulai say: "Princess, Manager Hua is checking the accounts today. The purchasers in the mansion deliberately raised the prices to collect kickbacks. Manager Hua must make a decision according to the rules. After he became mute due to hand tendons, he was driven out. He said that he was an old man in the mansion and wanted to beg the princess to spare him once."

Yan Mu'an blinked and suddenly understood, "Just tell Manager Hua to follow the rules of the palace."

Fulai bowed, turned around and left.

The little stewards who were still standing were trembling with fear, [I just received a small kickback and broke my hand tendons and became mute. My father made tens of thousands of taels. What should I do if he is found out? 】

[It’s over, it’s over. Did the princess deliberately arrange this? 】

[My premonitions are always very accurate, I feel like something is going to happen. 】

Yan Mu'an still smiled, "Your accommodation has been arranged. Later, Manager Yan will lead someone to count the money in the accounts and put all the money into the treasury."

"In addition, I want to tell the people at the big stove that all the stewards who have worked so hard to come here have to eat in the mansion before leaving."

Being able to have dinner at the princess's mansion is a reward for the stewards. When the stewards said that it would be good for them to go out, Steward Zhu handed over his hands and said: "Thank you for your concern, Princess. We will still stay at Xinglong Inn. After the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, we will set off to go back." , Things will be complicated after the new year, so there is no need to delay."

Yan Mu'an nodded, "Thank you for your hard work, stewards. In two days, the mansion will prepare annual salary and dividends for all stewards, and host a banquet. Remember to come early."

This money is from the left hand to the right hand. Some of it was greedy in the first place. Some of them were included in the gift. In the end, less than [-]% was left.

Manager Yan took these people to check the accounts. Yan Mu put on a look of great trust in everyone and said to Yan Mude: "I feel relieved that the stewards are doing their work and I won't join in the fun. My cousin can go and see if he wants." , remember to ask the stewards to teach you the tricks."

Yan Mude smiled and nodded, "That's for sure. I will humbly ask for advice."

Seeing the two of them talking, Manager Zhu always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't explain it, and he felt more and more uneasy.
