Chapter 426



The account books were soon brought over. Each shop had six books, and they were placed on the dock.

“Everyone, take a look. The account books here clearly state whether our two shops gain profit or his shop gains profit. Let’s see who exactly these goods should be given to!”

One of the Second Shopkeepers picked up an account book in his hand, flipped through it, and shouted to the people around him.

At this time, he found that after Shopkeeper Liu looked at his own account book, his momentum was much smaller, and he even had a faint look of wanting to retreat, but how could he be allowed to escape unscathed at this time?

Thinking of Shopkeeper Liu’s arrogant appearance just now, this Second Shopkeeper gritted his teeth in anger.

Since that was the case, then Shopkeeper Liu shouldn’t blame him for being on the offensive.

Some passers-by who were nosy really went over and flipped through the account books and then made a pertinent statement that those two shops did earn more money. Although Shopkeeper Liu’s shop also made money, it was obviously not as much as those two shops.

“Their shops are big, and they are on a bustling street.” Shopkeeper Liu obviously still wanted to argue, but at this time, everyone could see that he was trying hard to make up an excuse.

“Heh, is this related to the rules? As long as the shop has more profit, right? Our two shops have been earning profit for the past half year, and you have been suffering losses a lot recently!” One of the Second Shopkeepers sneered as he picked up an account book and waved it.

In the crowd, Jin Ling’s hand moved slightly.

Of course, this Second Shopkeeper’s purpose was to express the momentum of his side, but he didn’t know why his wrist suddenly felt sore. The account book in his hand loosened, and it slapped straight on Shopkeeper Liu’s face.

It looked like he deliberately threw the account book on Shopkeeper Liu’s face.

With that, Shopkeeper Liu got really annoyed and said angrily, “If you have something to say, just say it. If there’s nothing, why did you hit me? If you want to go this way, then I won’t be polite too!”

He waved his hand, and the few shop assistants that he had brought with him rushed up and punched the two Second Shopkeepers. The two Second Shopkeepers didn’t expect that Shopkeeper Liu’s people would really dare to attack them. They were not on guard and were hit a few times in the face. Immediately, they became furious.

“Hit… hit back!”

“Hit them hard. If anything happens, I’ll take the blame!” The two of them shouted together.

Therefore, the shop assistants on the Second Shopkeepers’ side also came into the fight immediately. The dock was in chaos. Jin Ling saw that Yan Feng and Yan Yang were among the shop assistants brought by Shopkeeper Liu, so she slowly retreated. With Yan Feng and Yan Yang here, at least Shopkeeper Liu would not be beaten.

Her eyes turned to the frenzied crowd, and a small stone in her hand was sent toward the crowd.

It was like the same small stone that hit the Second Shopkeeper’s wrist just now. If not for that small stone, the account book in the Second Shopkeeper’s hand would not have hit Shopkeeper Liu’s face.

“They’re fighting! They’re fighting!” The on-lookers at the dock slowly retreated. No one wanted to be punched amidst the chaos. However, for some inexplicable reason, one of the on-lookers actually felt being punched in the face by someone beside him.

A sharp pain came, and he was angry. He punched back, asking, “Why did you hit me?”

“I didn’t hit…” Before that person could say anything, he received a punch in his face and became angry too. He immediately started fighting the person around him.

At first, it was originally the shop assistants of the few shops who were fighting. Later on, more and more people were fighting. There were also shop assistants who accidentally bumped into others, knocked them over, and casually gave a few punches to the people around…

The entire scene was in chaos, and it was no longer a small fight in the beginning.

Someone had already brought the matter to Mayor of the capital city, who was maintaining the security of the capital. The Mayor of the capital city sent some people over, and without a word, all the people who were involved in the fight were arrested and brought over.

Together with the two shops’ Second Shopkeepers, Old Liu, and Shopkeeper Liu, as well as the several account books that were used as evidence.

The two Second Shopkeepers were quite shrewd. Seeing that the situation was not good, they hurriedly ordered a shop assistant on each of their side to quickly run back and report to the two Shopkeepers who had gone to the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang.

The two shop assistants were extremely smart people. Taking advantage of the fact that others were not paying attention to them, they sneaked into the crowd and escaped.

After a few turns, they found that no one was chasing them. The two of them stopped in a small alley, gasping for breath and squatting down.

“What should we do?” One of the shop assistants asked the other.

“What else can we do? Let’s go find the Shopkeepers.” The other shop assistant rolled his eyes. No one knew that things would end up like this.

“Can we go in to the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang?” The first shop assistant was a little timid. Even if he had been there before, it was the Shopkeeper who brought him along.

“We have to go even if we can’t! Let’s go!” The second shop assistant had already calmed down a little and knew that he could not delay the task any longer.

Thus, the two of them went to the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang together.

The entrance of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang was dignified and awe-inspiring. Marquis Hua Yang was a general and therefore his mansion looked more intimidating in the eyes of common people than the mansions of ordinary officials. The two shop assistants trembled as they stepped forward. They cupped their hands at the doorkeepers guarding the entrance and kept bowing.

“Can you help us get the two Shopkeepers of our shops? There is an urgent matter!” The two shop assistants bowed again and again as they said.

The doorkeepers of the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang were indifferent to the two shop assistants. One of them looked at the two shop assistants and rolled his eyes. “Why are you in such a hurry? It’s not like they won’t come out again. It has been a while since they entered. I think they will be coming out soon. It’s not worthwhile for us to make the trip!”

The meaning was that he was unwilling to make a trip.

A shop assistant took out a piece of silver from his pocket and handed it over. Then, he said with a smile, “We…We will have to trouble you, brother. We really have something urgent!”

The doorkeeper weighed the silver in his hand and then stood up reluctantly. “Wait here. Don’t run around. If you run into some master of the mansion, you won’t even know how you die!”

“Yes… yes, we won’t run around!” The two shop assistants nodded hurriedly.

Therefore, the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang’s doorkeeper went inside to look for a lad servant to get the two Shopkeepers. After all, the two Shopkeepers were in the inner courtyard.

At this time, Jin Ling had quietly guarded the place where Wei Yuewu’s carriage had dropped her previously.

Not long after, she saw Wei Yuewu’s carriage coming over. When Old Li stopped, she got on the carriage and the carriage continued to drive towards the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang.

Although the lad servant beside Old Li was surprised, he did not say anything. It should be that Sixth Young Lady had sent her maid to buy something. Now that she saw Sixth Young Lady’s carriage coming over, she was going back to the mansion together with them.

The lad servant felt that these things were trivial. However, Sixth Young Lady’s situation didn’t seem to be good. When she came out just now, she even staggered as she walked. Later, he must go back to the mansion to report this to Lord Marquis.

“Miss, the account books have been sent to the office of the Mayor of the capital city!” As soon as Jin Ling got into the carriage, she reported to Wei Yuewu with a smile.

But then she noticed that Wei Yuewu’s expression was not right. She looked Wei Yuewu up and down and said anxiously, “Miss, what happened to you?”

“Miss was harmed by Prefectural Princess Jia’nan. She almost died!” Huamo answered in a bad mood. She thought about how Prefectural Princess Jia’nan was chased back home in the end and felt that it was really not enough to vent her anger.

Her Miss almost lost her life!

“Prefectural Princess Jia’nan?” Jin Ling had never heard of Prefectural Princess Jia’nan.

“She is the cousin of Heir-apparent of Prince Nan’an. She seemed to have been incited by Eldest Young Lady and wanted to harm our Miss. Third Miss was also there to stir up trouble. All of them were very vicious and wanted to take Miss’ life!” When Huamo thought of the scene at that time, she still felt scared.

“I’m fine now!” Wei Yuewu slightly opened her eyes. She had not fallen asleep just now. She had only rested for a while. Now she felt much better. She smiled gently.

“Half a year’s account books have all been sent to the office of the Mayor of the capital city?”

“Yes, Miss. Half a year’s account books for three shops!” Jin Ling hurriedly replied when she heard Wei Yuewu’s question.

She took a look at Wei Yuewu’s condition. Although her face was a little pale, her expression was still alright. Only then did she heave a sigh of relief.

With these half a year’s account books, even if Concubine Dong was a perfect liar, she couldn’t say that those two shops were suffering losses!

So now, of course, she had to go find her father…

The carriage smoothly entered the mansion through the side door and stopped in the mansion of Marquis Hua Yang’s parking lot. However, before the carriage entered the gate, Jin Ling got off first and brought the two shop assistants in front of Wei Yuewu.

Wei Luowen’s lad servant excused himself at Wei Yuewu and quickly went inside to report. Sixth Young Lady’s situation looked really bad, especially when the maid got out of the carriage just now, which allowed him a glimpse to find that Sixth Young Lady’s wrist was completely blue with bruise. What had happened to her in Prince Nan’an Mansion?

Lord Marquis doted on Sixth Young Lady the most. He had to tell Lord Marquis about this matter immediately!

“What are… you guys here for?” Wei Yuewu did not get off the carriage. Instead, she leaned against the carriage and asked indifferently.

The two shop assistants were inexplicably brought over. They heard from the other people that the one inside was Sixth Young Lady. They did not know who this Sixth Young Lady was. However, no matter what, she was still the Miss of this mansion. They did not dare to be ignorant and hurriedly reported, “Sixth Young Lady, we are shop assistants from the shops.”

“What are you shop assistants doing in the mansion?” Inside the carriage, Wei Yuewu was somewhat displeased.

“We are here to find our Shopkeepers.” How could the shop assistants dare to hide the truth?

“For your Shopkeepers? Did something happen in your shops? Why are you here in such a panic?” Wei Yuewu reprimanded.

The shop assistants did not dare to displease Sixth Young Lady. They hurriedly said, “Our Second Shopkeepers were in a fight and have been taken to the office of the Mayor of the capital city. We want to ask our Shopkeepers to think of a way to save them!”

“Why are you fighting with people when you should be guarding the shops? Did you do something against the laws?” Wei Yuewu said lightly.

“No… no!” The shop assistants hurriedly waved their hands. “It’s just that shop assistants of the few shops started fighting, and our Shopkeepers are not around, so we are at a disadvantage. At this time, at the office of the Mayor of the capital city, no one can speak up. If something like this happens, we will need the Shopkeepers to be there!”

“The shops are all under our mansion?” Wei Yuewu asked in a cold voice.

“Something happened to the shops? What exactly happened?” At the corner, Wei Luowen, who had hurried over, also heard the shop assistant’s words. He quickly approached and asked in a deep voice.

He had heard the lad servant’s report and then rushed over from his study! Unexpectedly, before he arrived, he heard that people of several shops under his own mansion were fighting. He was really angry!
