"It's in the register. The little ones are all registered one by one. These are the rules. How dare the shop not follow them." When shopkeeper Chen heard what I said, he was stunned for a moment, but then he replied with a smile on his face.
Seeing that Shopkeeper Chen's hair and color were changing, I felt a little suspicious, but I wasn't quite sure whether Shopkeeper Chen was unhappy because I, a Jin Yiwei, was meddling in other people's affairs, or he had something to hide.
"In that case, bring it to me." I stretched out my hand and asked shopkeeper Chen for the registration book.
"Sir, I wonder what you mean?" Shopkeeper Chen's face was full of doubts. It was obvious that he was doubting my motives. This was not within the scope of Jin Yiwei's authority.
I didn't have time to talk nonsense with him, so I straightened my face and shouted sternly: "Bring it to me and see." After that, I stared at him closely.
"I obey your order." Shopkeeper Chen no longer dared to have any questions, "Old Han, take out this book. Your Majesty wants to take a look at it."
"Here." Not long after this agreement, a person walked out of the accounting room on the west side. This person had a tall and slender figure with a small black beard. He walked with a swaying step and held a book in his hand.
The booklet came towards me.
"Here is this book. Please take a look at it." The man presented the book in front of me with both hands and said respectfully.
"Well, okay." I hummed softly, then reached out and took the handed booklet.
I flipped through the booklet casually, and the lines of handwriting on it were really neat and tight. I could tell that the person who wrote them must have worked hard on practicing calligraphy.
"Did you write the words on this?" I asked the man casually while flipping through the book.
"Of course, it's all written by the little one." The man bowed and replied, "The little shop has registered all the merchants coming and going one by one, so we don't dare to slack off at all."
"This is the accountant of the shop, Mr. Han." Shopkeeper Chen introduced hurriedly from the side.
I still looked down at the book and looked at it with a humming look. In fact, I was just pretending to come to the registration book to teach the shopkeeper not to doubt the identity of our group. As for all the people living in the
Does it matter to me whether everyone here is registered?
But when I turned to the last page, I found that the ink marks on it had not yet dried, and it was obviously written just a short time ago. I couldn't help but glance sideways at Shopkeeper Chen, who looked at me.
He quickly lowered his head, not daring to meet my eyes. Obviously, he also saw the words that were still wet with ink.
Although I knew that these words had obviously been written just now, I didn't pay much attention to it, because I was just pretending, and as for what was fishy here, I didn't bother to care. Even so, I still looked at
When I entered the Han accountant, he was hunched over, his arms hanging straight by his side, looking respectful and kind.
However, when my eyes moved to those hands, I couldn't help but be stunned. Hey, these hands are not just hands that can hold pens. Looking at the calluses on them, they are clearly hands used to holding knife handles, and they look like
He looked very strong. I don’t know how many lives have been held in these hands!
I raised my head and looked carefully at the so-called accountant in front of me. Although he still looked very respectful, there was a different light shining in his eyes. Those were eyes that had killed people. This couldn't escape me.
This Jin Yiwei's intuition.
Not only that, the temples on both sides of this man's head were bulging, as if they were holding two small steamed buns, and there were veins on his thick neck. This was not something that a scholar should have.
I put my hands behind my back and walked around this person. When I came behind him, I saw that although this person had been hunching his back, you could still see the muscles on his broad back. How could this be just practicing writing?
Got it.
When I turned back to the Han accountant, he still looked respectful, without any panic or fear. On the other hand, shopkeeper Chen's face became more and more ugly, and he looked like he was about to cry.
It seems. There must be something wrong here, I am 100% sure.
But the question is, what should I do? Should I pretend not to see it, or should I conduct a symbolic cross-examination? If I pretend not to see it, it may create an illusion for the Han accountant - this Jin Yiwei is easy to bully. If so
If so, he might take action, which would be detrimental to our group.
If questioned, this Korean accountant is by no means a kind person. He is either a bandit or a thief. Once his face is broken, I am afraid that he will have to use the knife immediately. I am not afraid of using the knife, but I am afraid of being noticed by those in the sub-realm.
By then we will definitely be passive. Oh my, what should we do?
While I was thinking of a way, I looked through the book in my hand again. The names with wet handwriting on it included the names of seven people in total. If you include the Han accountant in front of me, there were eight people. Jason and I.
It should be manageable, but it will definitely cause quite a stir.
"Sir, your food and wine have been prepared. Please have a meal with your family." At this time, a young boy came over and said to me.
"Oh, that's right, let's treat your Excellency and your precious family members to a meal. It's already getting late, so you must be hungry too." Shopkeeper Chen on the side hurriedly persuaded me to have dinner to resolve the problem.
The current tense situation.
Suddenly an idea flashed in my mind, and then I turned to Shopkeeper Chen and asked with a smile: "Of course that's good, but how much food have been prepared?"
Shopkeeper Chen was stunned for a moment, and then he nodded with a smile and replied: "Of course it's the food and drinks for you and the four members of your family. This is a small gift from the shop, and it's not at your expense."
It seems that shopkeeper Chen thinks that I am worried about the cost, so he said this.
"Hey, shopkeeper Chen, you're so polite!" I looked up and said with a smile, "I won't miss you a tael of money for the wine, but it's just food and wine for four people, which is not enough!" After that, I
Just stared at Shopkeeper Chen.
When Shopkeeper Chen heard what I said, he couldn't help but look at Accountant Han next to him, and then asked me in a tentative tone: "May I ask, sir, if there are any other friends who want to come here?"
"Haha, of course I have friends to entertain, but they are already here!" I replied with a smile, and looked at the Han accountant next to me.
Shopkeeper Chen's face turned pale when he heard my words, but Han's accountant just looked at him with a smile on his face, and no change could be seen on his face.
"In this case, I'd like to trouble Shopkeeper Chen to send the prepared food and wine for four people to the second floor for the ladies I brought with me." I looked at Shopkeeper Chen who was covered in cold sweat and said, "Then, I'd also like to bother Shopkeeper Chen.
The shopkeeper is going to prepare food and drinks for ten more people, including more meat and wine. Don't worry about the money for the food and drinks, I'll pay you first." After that, I stretched out my hand and took out an ingot of silver from my waist.
I weighed it and found that it was about thirty taels, and then handed it to shopkeeper Chen and continued: "If these are not enough, how about you ask me for more?"
"This..." Shopkeeper Chen's pale face showed embarrassment, and he couldn't help but look towards Han's accountant.
"Since the adults have said so, shopkeeper, just accept it and hurry up to prepare the wine and food." Accountant Han said to shopkeeper Chen with a smile.
Although shopkeeper Chen didn't know the reason, he still took the money according to Han's instructions, and then went to tell the guys to prepare the food and drinks. Seeing that nothing happened, shopkeeper Han planned to go back with shopkeeper Chen.
"Mr. Han, please stay, I have something else to say." I stretched out my hand to stop Accountant Han.
Accountant Han stood still, turned to look at me and asked coldly: "May I ask, sir, do you have any other instructions?"
"I can't talk about instructions. I just want to tell you, sir, who I want to invite to a drink." I said to him with a smile.
"Your Majesty's official business is not something that ordinary people like us can know. Your Majesty, please don't make fun of me." Accountant Han's cold words were full of arrogance.
"Yes, why can't you?" I was still smiling, "The ones I want to invite are you and the seven brothers on the booklet!" After that, I pointed to the people who had just returned the goods.
The book is in the hands of Han Accountant.
With a "clang", the ingot of silver in the hands of shopkeeper Chen, who had just walked not far, fell to the ground. He picked it up in a panic, and then hurried away.
Accountant Han still looked calm. He nodded and replied calmly: "Okay, thanks to your kindness, I will definitely attend the meeting. See you later." After that, he bowed his hand.
Quickly walk away in the direction where Shopkeeper Chen left.
"What's wrong?" Jason, who came down from upstairs and planned to ask me to go to dinner, asked behind me.
"Hey, don't eat with Chiyoko and Chen Mei. Come with me later, treat me!" I replied, looking at Han's disappearing figure.
