The whole world is an NPC

Chapter 310

Before Madam Zhou could answer, Ye Xueying asked again: "April [-]th, to whom did you sell [-] bottles of rose water and [-] bottles of cider?"

Nanny Zhou was sweating profusely, kowtowed desperately on the ground, and shouted: "Miss, please forgive me!"

Ye Xueying said lightly: "I haven't finished asking yet!"

Nanny Zhou didn't dare to listen any more, she said with blood streaming down her face, "This slave deserves to die, this slave is willing to lose his family and property, and pay for it!"

Ye Xueying said coldly: "You can just pay the compensation, drag it out, beat the [-]th board again, and send someone to search her house."

Seeing this situation, Mother Fu didn't understand anything, so she called someone immediately.

There is a reason for Ye Xueying to punish Nanny Zhou so severely, if it is just greed for money, then forget it.Mother Zhou was discovered by a girl who was stealing wine, she pushed the girl into the well and drowned, but said to the public that the girl who stole was discovered by her, and she jumped into the well to commit suicide without shame.

Wu Ma was scared this time, she held her breath and dared not make a sound.

Ye Xueying asked: "Mother Wu, do you want me to ask you?"

Wu Ma was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed her head, and said, "Don't dare to have Miss Lao, this slave deserves to die, this slave is also greedy, and this slave will be honest."

Ye Xueying nodded, pointed to Qingniao who was following, and said: "Sister Qingniao, go with her to the side room and write down what she confessed. If she is dishonest, she will be punished twice as soon."

Qingniao was married at this time, married to a young general in the mansion, but still working in front of Mrs. Ye, she nodded with a startled smile, and led Wu Ma to a side room.

Wu Ma doesn't have much greed, about 500 taels a year. She manages the food for thousands of people, and Ye Xueying thinks it's acceptable for her to be greedy only for these.

When Ma Momo came, she saw Zhou Momo being beaten with a board, and she was terribly frightened.She is in charge of all kinds of dried and fresh fruits in the house.Most of the fresh fruits are sent from various farms in the Hou Mansion, and there are no extravagances.She earns mainly dried fruit and preserves.

Mama Jiang was in charge of cured meat, bacon, ham, pickled vegetables and other pickled products, and came with the account book. She saw Ma Mama in a daze in the yard with a pale face.Looking at Nanny Zhou, who was screaming loudly and bruised, Mother Jiang knew for sure, Mother Ma had a ghost in her heart!
Grandma Jiang said loudly, "Grandma Ma, why are you in a daze here? Miss is still waiting for us! Come in with me!"

Mother Ma was startled and angry when she heard that, Mother Jiang is trying to tear her down, if she wants to let the lady know that she is clearly here, but won't go in outside, shouldn't the lady be suspicious?

Mother Ma forced a smile and said, "I've just arrived, so I'll go in now."

Jiang Momo sneered in her heart, hugged Ma Momo's arm, and half dragged Ma Momo into the lobby.

Nanny Jiang glanced up and down the hall, there were still bloodstains on the ground, the bloodstains were obviously from people kowtowing.There was more than one spot of blood, she thought to herself: Besides Nanny Zhou, who else has been arrested?

Mother Jiang saw that only Mother Zheng was still standing in charge of the hall, with a gloating look on her face.She cast a questioning look, and Madam Zheng had always been on good terms with her, so she secretly made a gesture of four.

Mother Jiang was sweating profusely. Does this mean that four mothers have been arrested?Nanny Zhou was beaten outside, what about the other three?

Mama Ma came in and saw more than a dozen maids and daughters-in-law in the hall, everyone held their breath, they didn't even dare to breathe, and when they saw the blood on the ground, she yelled in her heart that something was wrong.Miss, are you serious?
Jiang Nanny calmly stepped forward to hand in the account book, and said, "Miss, please have a look!"

Ye Xueying flipped through the ledger, nodded and said, "You're still doing your job, you've only embezzled a hundred or so taels of silver. Although the amount is small, you must be fined. You can settle the account yourself and deduct your monthly money. Next time Not to do it again!"

Sweat broke out on Jiang Nanny's forehead, she knelt down and kowtowed, and said in a low voice, "Yes! I will obey the order of the eldest lady!"

She was terrified, she was thankful that she wasn't greedy, otherwise today would be over.

"Get up! Stand aside first!" Ye Xueying said.

Nanny Jiang got up and stood next to Nanny Zheng.

Mama Ma handed in the ledger slowly, and Ye Xueying took it over and started flipping through the ledger.

Mama Ma held her breath and concentrated, not daring to let out a breath.

Ye Xueying asked lazily: "Mother Ma, do you have something to say?"

Mama Ma shook her head.

There was a mocking smile on the corner of Madam Zheng's mouth, she really couldn't see the coffin without crying.How shrewd is the eldest lady, how can you quibble.If you don't plead guilty now, you will look good later.

"Walnuts are two hundred coins a catty?" Ye Xueying asked.

Mother Ma whispered: "Yes!"

"Are you sure?" Ye Xueying asked.

Mother Ma bit her head and said: "Yes! Miss, these are the best walnuts in Xiejiashan, and the price is naturally a bit expensive."

Ye Xueying's consciousness swept the whole city, and said lazily: "I didn't want to argue with you, but since you don't admit it, I'll tell you. There are sixteen shops selling the same walnuts in the city. The highest one is 140 Wen, the lowest 120 Wen, Xiejiashan goods store, the retail price is 130 five Wen outside. The Hou family buys a lot, and there are discounts. Does the Hou family have any grudges?"

Mother Ma was soaked in sweat and couldn't answer.

Ye Xueying said flatly: "The prices of raisins and red dates are not right, they are [-] cents higher than the market price, and the prices of all kinds of candied fruit are like this. Mama, do you have anything to say?"

Mama Ma collapsed on the ground, trembling and unable to speak.

"Drag it on, hit forty boards, and send someone to her house to copy." Ye Xueying said calmly.

When Ye Xueying started to question, Madam Fu was prepared.Immediately sent someone to drag Mama Mama out to play the board, and at the same time sent a daughter-in-law to lead a team to copy Mama Mama's house.

At this time, Mother Wen finally came. She came so late, one was to clean up the books, and the other was to wait and see how the eldest lady would deal with other people.

Hearing that the eldest lady had dealt with several nuns in a row, she couldn't sit still and hurried over.

In the kitchen of the Hou Mansion, although there is no chief executive, Sister Wen is the leader of all the nuns invisibly.

Ye Xueying looked at the three ledgers handed in by Nanny Wen on the table, and said, "Nurse Wen, when I was learning cooking, I was taught by you a lot. I miss this friendship. Today, do you have something to tell me? ?”

After hearing this, Madam Fu immediately stared at Madam Wen.

The little maid who had heard the report earlier learned what happened here. After hearing this sentence, she shook her whole body and forced a smile: "Missy is very smart, and I can draw inferences from one instance. The old slave dare not speak out and point to Missy. On the contrary, the eldest miss taught the old slave a lot of cooking skills. Since the eldest miss is still thinking about the love of the day, the old slave will give up this old face and recognize it."

Ye Xueying waited for the text.

Sister Wen was determined, and said: "This old slave is just a little bit greedy."

Madam Fu asked sharply, "How much have you been greedy for?"

Nanny Wen is Madam Hou's confidant of Mother Yang, and Nanny Fu has long wanted to get her out of power.

Nurse Wen gritted her teeth and slapped her hand.

Madam Fu asked excitedly, "5000 taels?"

Sister Wen was sweating, she shook her head and whispered, "Five hundred."

She wanted to be like Mama Wu, she reckoned that Miss 500 would not care about it, she would just get a little fined and pass by.
