"All, all found out? Why?" Shopkeeper Zhu asked in panic. It's not a festival at this time, why are they investigating him?

Butler Chen sneered and had the nerve to ask why?

He used working hours to commit adultery in broad daylight, and everyone knew about it. How could he have the nerve to ask why?

The most important thing was that due to the dereliction of duty by Shopkeeper Zhu, the two legitimate daughters of the Duke of Zhenguo and the Duke of Dingguo fought in the shop until they were covered in blood.

This matter is not easy to handle. If it is not handled properly, the Left Prime Minister will have two more political enemies.

The lady was very angry about this.

It was fortunate that Manager Zhu was not present, otherwise he would have been beaten to death.

"Take him away." Butler Chen waved his hand and his eyes fell on little brother Zhu. He thought, this guy is a fool, so let's ignore him for now.

When Manager Zhu's decision comes out, someone will naturally come to deal with this guy.

"Wait." The old widow finally put on her clothes and chased out. She looked at Butler Chen and asked, "I don't know what he did wrong. Why do you want to take him away?"

"Of course you have committed a serious crime. You stay here honestly. If you dare to escape, the consequences will not be what you want to face."

Butler Chen threatened, then turned and left, not wanting to even look at the old widow.

Shopkeeper Zhu was taken away with a pale face, and he didn't even look at the old widow before leaving.

At this moment, there was no love in Manager Zhu's eyes. There was only himself and his worries and fears about the future.

Little Brother Zhu sat down on the ground, thinking to himself it was all over, it was all over!

The wife of the Left Prime Minister acted quickly. By the time Shopkeeper Zhu was brought before her, she had already sorted out the account books.

Looking at the amount calculated by the accountant, the wife of the Left Prime Minister was so angry that her body was shaking. She had never expected that a small shopkeeper could embezzle so much silver.

This is all her money, her money!

Looking at the trembling Shopkeeper Zhu, Mrs. Zuo Xiang threw the account book directly in front of Shopkeeper Zhu and said coldly:

"Hand over the money you embezzled, and I will spare your life, but sell you and your family.

Otherwise, don't blame me for not considering the master-servant relationship. I think I have done my best for your mother and you!"

Shopkeeper Zhu looked at the amount in the account book, 8756 taels. Where could he get so much money?

Even if I sell him, I can't raise that much money.

Shopkeeper Zhu couldn't believe that he had embezzled so much silver. Was it really that much?

"Madam, I know I'm guilty, but, but." Shopkeeper Zhu wanted to explain himself, but when he looked at the account book, it seemed as if he remembered every entry.

Don’t ask why. It’s just a professional habit and his memory is so good.

If you can't come up with an excuse, then just beg for mercy. However, Shopkeeper Zhu didn't have the nerve to do so at the moment.

If he were to pay so much silver, he would be powerless. He made money easily and spent it even more easily, and he spent a lot of money on the old widow.

Seeing the cowardly look of Shopkeeper Zhu, Butler Chen leaned close to the left prime minister's wife and whispered in her ear. The left prime minister's wife showed a look of disgust on her face.

"You, you are really great!" After saying this, the wife of the left prime minister stood up and walked out. When she reached the door, she left a sentence.

"If you can't raise enough money, sell the house, the land, the old widow, his wife and children, and make up the money."

"Yes." Butler Chen accepted the order and looked at Manager Zhu with a teasing look.

When Shopkeeper Zhu heard that the old widow was being sold, he became furious. He turned around and wanted to rush forward to beg for mercy, but was blocked by the servants brought by Butler Chen.

Since Madam has given the order, we shall do as she orders.

The lady's money is still money, and not everyone can embezzle it.

Butler Chen ordered his men to take Shopkeeper Zhu away and went to Shopkeeper Zhu's house to search first, but naturally they didn't find much silver.

They did find out the private money of Manager Zhu, but it was far less than the total amount of 8756.

Soon a broker was invited over and made an assessment of Manager Zhu's yard. He finally concluded that the yard was worth two thousand taels.

There can’t be any more. If there is more, the dealer won’t dare to accept it because it will be a waste of money.

In fact, the yard could be sold at a higher price, but there have been rumors of war recently, so the prices of real estate such as houses have dropped.

If you buy a house now, if the capital is not destroyed, you can naturally make a lot of money, but if the capital is destroyed, you may lose everything.

Adding the furniture and other miscellaneous items in Manager Zhu's house, it is estimated that the value is only more than one hundred taels.

When housekeeper Chen saw that the silver was far from enough, he ordered his men to tie up Zhu Xiaodi and the old widow and take them to the old widow's home.

The old widow has spent a lot of Manager Zhu's money, so of course the account needs to be settled. After all, not everyone is worthy of spending the lady's money.

The old widow looked at the familiar road and thought about the situation at Manager Zhu's home, and her legs went limp with fear.

The old widow really regretted it now. If she had known that Shopkeeper Zhu was such an unlucky man, she would never have married him.

Now it’s okay, there’s no place to cry even if I regret it.

There was no way to regret it. She wanted to reason with Butler Chen, but she was met with Butler Chen's contemptuous look and could not say anything.

Soon they arrived at the old widow's home. The yard where the old widow lived was bigger than that of Manager Zhu's house, and this yard was also bought with Manager Zhu's money.

In fact, most of the money that Manager Zhu embezzled was spent on the old widow.

Now, housekeeper Chen led his men into the yard, scaring the old widow's children and grandchildren. They looked at the tied old widow and asked what had happened.

The old widow's son even threatened that the old widow had remarried and was no longer a member of their family, and that the crime she committed had nothing to do with them.

In a nutshell: Don’t look for us.

Butler Chen ignored the clamor of the old widow's children and grandchildren and directly ordered people to search the house. He would take whatever silver he found. If it was still not enough, he would sell the yard to pay off the debt.

In short, no matter who you owe money to, you cannot owe the lady money. If it is still not enough, Butler Chen will stare at the old widow's children and grandchildren with sinister eyes.

If that's still not enough, then sell this whole family to pay off the debt.

What do you call this? This is the debt of the mother being paid by the descendants!

The old widow was terrified after hearing the threat from housekeeper Chen. She couldn't believe that by getting married, she would put her entire family at risk.

But she didn't dare let them sell all their children and grandchildren, otherwise she would become a sinner.

I will not be able to face my ancestors after I die.

The frightened old widow had to tell where she had hidden the silver, hoping that the money could be used to pay off her debts.

At the same time, the old widow hated Manager Zhu to death. This was not a plan to marry her off so she could enjoy a happy life, but a plan to kill her.

The unwilling old widow immediately reported Zhu Laicai and his mother and son. Since they were going to be in trouble, they would be in trouble together.

How did the family of three escape?

Butler Chen saw the vicious look in the old widow's eyes and knew that this old widow was really not a good person.

I don’t know why Shopkeeper Zhu fell in love with her so much. He is so blind!

What Butler Chen did not expect the most was that Shopkeeper Zhu actually agreed and said that all his property was squandered by Zhu Laicai, and they must be held responsible.
