Ye Jintang said that he would check the accounts and take inventory tomorrow, but in fact it was just a trick.

After lunch that day, she launched a surprise attack on Shopkeeper Wen, catching him off guard.

When Ye Jintang went to the silver shop, Manager Wen was urging the accountant to prepare new accounts.

Of course, the new account was for Ye Jintang to see.

"Mr. Accountants, you better hurry up. I think Ye Jintang will do something weird again tomorrow. If she finds out that the accounts are not right, none of us will be able to have a good life."

"Time is too tight. I'm afraid the accounts won't look good. What if they get discovered?"

Accountant Liang was very worried about problems with the accounts.

If the accountant was found to have cooked the books by his employer, his future career would probably be over.

"I'm here. Ye Jintang is just a little girl. How could she possibly understand the account book? She said she wanted to take inventory of the warehouse, but she just wanted to see if the gold and silver jewelry in the warehouse matched the account book."

"She is young and has no elders around her. She is only doing these things for the other shopkeepers to see. You don't need to be nervous."

"You just need to make the accounts look nice so that Ye Jintang can't find any flaws, and the matter can be covered up."

Shopkeeper Wen lowered his voice and continued with a smug look on his face.

"We can take advantage of this opportunity to take away all the silver we can. When someone from the Ye family takes over Prefect Ye's property in a few days, it won't be that easy for us to make money from it."

"Shopkeeper Wen is right. Let's get the account books in order."

The three people in the room were busy, but they didn't know that Ye Jintang had already arrived at the door of the silver shop.

When the waiter in the lobby saw Ye Jintang coming with several people in a mighty procession, he ran to the backyard and wanted to inform Manager Wen.

Zhou Wuwei suddenly rushed over silently and kicked the waiter on the back.

The two female escorts walked quickly forward, twisted the men's arms, and walked towards the backyard.

"Manager Wen, you are very busy."

Ye Jintang led his men into the backyard and saw Shopkeeper Wen and two accountants fiddling with abacus in the house.

The weather was hot, and the two accountants were sweating all over their faces, not sure if they were nervous or just too hot.

Shopkeeper Wen was extremely shocked. He took one look at the servant who was escorted by two female escorts, and his heart went cold. Ye Jintang came prepared.

"Miss Ye, why is this happening?"

Shopkeeper Wen had an extremely ugly expression on his face. If it weren't for Ye Jintang's status, he would have just turned his face away from her.

"Nothing. I thought I had nothing to do this afternoon, so I might as well check the inventory in the silver shop."

Ye Jintang gave Zhou Cong a look after saying this, and he immediately went to the front hall and sent all the guests out with a smile.

Just now, everyone saw that Zhou Wuwei kicked the waiter hard, and they vaguely knew that something might have happened in the jewelry store.

Just when they were about to stretch their heads to watch the fun, they saw that the host was about to close the door and refuse guests, so they couldn't stay for long.

In addition to Manager Wen and two accountants, there were 6 shop assistants and 14 craftsmen in the silver shop.

The craftsmen have a room in the backyard that is specifically used to make jewelry.

Ye Jintang revealed his identity and called everyone together.

“Who’s in charge of the warehouse?”

None of the guys came forward to speak.

Shopkeeper Wen said with a wry smile, "I definitely won't leave such an important place as the warehouse to my clerk."

No wonder Manager Wen was so confident, it turned out that he controlled everything in the silver shop in his own hands.

"Then please hand over the key to the warehouse, Shopkeeper Wen. I need to count the items in the warehouse now."

Shopkeeper Wen looked at Ye Jintang with a faint smile, without any intention of moving.

If he opens the warehouse door today, he is afraid that things will not end well.

"Miss Ye, I have been the shopkeeper of the Wen family for more than ten years. Later, I followed Madam Wen to the Ye family. Even if I have no merit, I have worked hard. It is really disheartening that Miss Ye treats me like this."

"Don't worry, Shopkeeper Wen. As long as you have a clear conscience, no matter how I check the accounts, it won't hurt your reputation."

Ye Jintang has no patience at all when dealing with people like Manager Wen.

She directly asked Zhou Wuwei to snatch the warehouse key from Manager Wen.

Seeing that he couldn't control the situation, Shopkeeper Wen wanted to resort to violence.

"What are you all still standing there for? Miss Ye must have been instigated by someone to attack her own silver shop. Why don't you stop her?"

Shopkeeper Wen looked at the shop assistants and wanted them to come forward to help stop Ye Jintang and his group.

After all, the people around Ye Jintang were all relatively young, and most of them were women, so Shopkeeper Wen didn't want to listen to her.

Let’s put today’s events behind us first, and then talk about the things that come later. He always has a way to make things work.

Unfortunately, Shopkeeper Wen’s wishful thinking was wrong, as Ye Jintang was not someone who could be easily manipulated.

"You are so brave, you dare to bully your superiors. According to our Beixu laws, slaves who bully their superiors can be beaten to death."

"You guys, don't you want to die?"

"Don't forget, your indentures are still in my hands. I can beat you to death without paying a penny."

Ye Jintang's beautiful eyes, as if quenched by ice, swept coldly over the shop assistants and craftsmen in the jewelry store.

Everyone present knew that they were all trained by the Wen family.

After following Madam Wen to Yuezhou more than ten years ago, Madam Wen treated them kindly, and their lives were so comfortable that they forgot their true identities.

Now that Ye Jintang pointed it out, everyone suddenly realized who the owner of the silver shop was.

When Shopkeeper Wen saw that the situation was no longer under his control, he immediately smiled and said, "Miss, don't be angry. I'm just afraid that the warehouse will be too dirty. Don't dirty your shoes."

"The key to the warehouse."

"Here I am."

Shopkeeper Wen didn't dare to refuse any longer and quickly opened the storeroom door. He thought to himself, Ye Jintang, a little girl, wouldn't think that checking the storeroom is a simple matter, right?

Then let her investigate slowly. He doesn't believe it. What else can she find out?

The silver shop's warehouse is filled with a lot of gold and silver bars, as well as various gemstones, all of which are used to make jewelry.

In addition, there are various jewelry accumulated over the years.

Box after box of gold and silver were counted. Ye Jintang had not expected that the gold and silver bars alone would amount to as much as 60,000 taels of silver.

This does not include the various colored gemstones, but also the finished jewelry.

After converting so many things, it would cost at least 100,000 taels of silver.

If someone else saw the contents of this warehouse and wanted to count them completely, it would probably take a day or two.

It was not so troublesome for Ye Jintang, as the previous account books were very clear. Today she came here just for Shopkeeper Wen, so the focus of the inventory was naturally on those places with problems.

Madam Liu instructed the shop assistants to start taking inventory of the warehouse.

The first things to be counted were silver bars, gold bars and various gemstones.
