Chapter 156 Return to Misty Village (1/2)



"Catch him for me." Xiao Ling'er ordered.

Gu Xi was the first to react. He quickly pulled out his bangs from the corner and pushed him down to kneel in front of Xiao Ling'er.

"Bring over the account books for the past two years." Xiao Ling'er said to Li Mancang.

Li Mancang quickly handed the account book he brought to Xiao Ling'er. He was very nervous. He only checked the account books once every six months in the past two years. Could there really be any problems?

When Liu Hai heard that they were going to check the account books, he began to feel uneasy and sweat started to appear on his forehead.

Then he saw Xiao Ling'er reading the account book very quickly, as if she was just flipping through it casually, and he felt a little more at ease.

I feel that this princess simply cannot understand what an account book is and is probably just pretending to be so.

However, next, Xiao Ling'er threw the account book directly in front of Li Mancang.

"Take a look for yourself and see the difference between the account books for the first six months and the last year and a half."

Xiao Ling'er's words shocked Liu Hai's heart. His eyes rolled around and he planned to escape.

Li Mancang nervously picked up the account book and looked at it carefully. At first, he didn't see any problems with it.

The time, quantity, unit price and settlement of each transaction are recorded clearly.

After watching it again, I found that there were two things wrong, namely the quantity and time. The quantity was getting less and the time was getting longer.

Logically speaking, the farm has expanded a lot since then, and the quantity should be greater, but the quantity is about 10,000 pounds less each time than before.

The timing is also wrong. Each time it matures, it will be a week later than the previous time.

"What's going on?" Li Mancang looked at the other two people angrily and asked.

The two of them picked up the account book and looked at it carefully, but they couldn't find anything wrong at first.

"Look at the quantity and time," Li Mancang angrily reminded.

The two of them looked carefully again. After a moment, they looked at Liu Hai angrily and asked, "Tell me, what's going on?"

Liu Hai trembled, looked at Xiao Ling'er fearfully, and then looked at Gu Yunting who was sitting beside him with a cold face.

"I...I...I don't know the reason either." Liu Hai was still trying to make excuses.

"Hehe, do you really think we are fools? You take advantage of our trust and do something behind our backs."

"Yes, you trusted us in vain. You knew we wouldn't check the comparison carefully, so you had other ideas."

Xiao Ling'er carefully observed Li Mancang and the two people in charge of the connection and found that they really seemed to be unaware.

Then, only Liu Hai can say that his method is not clever at all.

It's nothing more than being bold and taking advantage of the trust of the contact person to postpone the time for a week and use this time to pick the fruits secretly.

"I... I don't know what you are talking about. It's obvious that every time you send people to supervise us picking the fruits, and then take them away directly." Liu Hai was still quibbling.

Xiao Ling'er didn't want to listen to this man's excuses anymore. She fixed her eyes on Magistrate Zhu and said, "Magistrate Zhu, this man stole and embezzled the master's property. Please make sure to find out his accomplices and the whole story."

"Yes, Princess. Come, take Liu Hai to the county government office." County Magistrate Zhu saw that it was his turn to show his ability and immediately started to carry out the order.

"Wait a minute, take his daughter away and examine her carefully for all the crimes she has committed over the years." Just as the constable was about to leave with Liu Hai, Gu Yunting gave the order in a deep voice.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

After everyone left, Xiao Ling'er turned around to look at the farm, then walked back to Misty Village with Gu Yunting.
