The mistress died of overwork, and after rebirth, she was bad at raising her cubs

Shopkeeper Qi wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and was about to explain, but Shen Qinglan snorted coldly, turned around and sat directly on a sandalwood chair in the shop.

Then, the pair of phoenix eyes swept across all the guys present and said directly:

"Everyone present, this princess will give you a chance!"

"If anyone reports it, there will be a reward of ten taels of silver!"

"If the report is important, there will be a reward of twenty silver coins!"

"Also, anyone who reports will be kept by this princess to continue working at the grain store! If someone has outstanding abilities, it would not be a problem to promote him to a manager."

As soon as Shen Qinglan said this, everyone couldn't help but gasp and looked at Shen Qinglan in surprise.

Shopkeeper Qi's eyes were filled with panic, and he quickly said:

"Princess, what do you mean? I have worked for Prince Zhan's palace for many years, diligently and conscientiously. Do you not believe me?"

Shopkeeper Qi sounded so distressed, but Shen Qinglan looked directly at Shuwen.

Shuwen understood what he meant and stepped forward and kicked Shopkeeper Qi in the knee. Shopkeeper Qi knelt on the ground in response. Shuwen drew his sword and placed it on Shopkeeper Qi's neck.

Suddenly, Shopkeeper Qi fell silent and looked at Shen Qinglan with horror, not knowing what he had said wrong.

Shen Qinglan casually played with the jade bracelet on her hand, glanced at Shopkeeper Qi casually, and said faintly:

"You also know that you have been receiving monthly salary from the Zhan Palace for many years, but you are playing these tricks right under the Zhan Palace's nose. Do you really think that there is no one in the Zhan Palace?"

Shopkeeper Qi didn't dare to argue, fearing that the sword on his neck would fall directly and chop off his head...

At this moment, the guys looked at each other, as if they wanted to say something, but were a little worried.

At least ten taels of silver!

What's more, I can continue to work in the grain store!

But if they reported Manager Qi, would he let them go?

Finally, one of the men, who was probably in his twenties, stepped forward and said through gritted teeth:

"Princess, I am reporting that Shopkeeper Qi is adding stones to brown rice and then selling it to the people at the original price!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qinglan glanced at Shuyu, who immediately stepped forward and handed over ten taels of silver to the man.

When the man saw this, his eyes lit up and his body couldn't help but tremble.

It really is, ten taels of silver!

When the others saw this, they could no longer tolerate it!

Ten taels of silver. At worst, they can just take the silver and leave. No matter how powerful Manager Qi is, can he find them?

"Princess, I am reporting that Shopkeeper Qi raised the price of rice during the disaster year!"

"reward."

Shen Qinglan nodded slightly, and Shuyu stepped forward and gave the man ten taels of silver.

Seeing this, the others became even more excited and started to speak:

"Princess, I am reporting that Shopkeeper Qi is selling inferior goods as good ones!"

"Princess, I am reporting Shopkeeper Qi for selling spoiled old rice!"

"Princess, I have a small report..."

Everyone was talking at once, telling everyone about everything from the big things like Qi's fraud to the small things like Qi's grinding of teeth and snoring.

The shopkeeper Qi was so angry that his face turned blue. He gritted his teeth and cursed at the group of employees.

But the guys were too lazy to pay attention. It was just a few scoldings. How could it be as good as having real money in their own pockets?

Besides, how much money has Manager Qi embezzled over the years?

But they didn't get any share, so why should they be loyal to Manager Qi?

Everyone was talking at once, but in the end, no one said anything.

There was only a young man of about seventeen or eighteen years old left, scratching his head and looking very anxious.

"Princess, I saw Shopkeeper Qi secretly hiding something in the toilet at the back last night!"

After these words came out, Shopkeeper Qi's face turned pale, he suddenly looked up at the young man and said angrily:

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

"I-I'm not kidding, it was just last night that you secretly hid it..."

The young man was frightened by Manager Qi's sharp shout and took two steps back, saying timidly.

Shen Qinglan raised his eyebrows, and Ren Donglai hurriedly took his men to the back.

After a while, Ren Donglai came out pinching his nose and said to Shen Qinglan:

"Princess, this is the real account book of the grain store."

Shen Qinglan took a look, raised his lips slightly, and said: "Reward, twenty taels."

Shu Yu gave the young man twenty taels. The young man danced with joy and immediately stopped stuttering. He said directly:

"Princess, I know where Shopkeeper Qi hid the rice mixed with stones that he used to sell!"

At this point, Shopkeeper Qi could no longer hold back and pointed at the young man and cursed:

"You beast! You ungrateful bastard! You have no conscience! I am your uncle! Is this how you treat your uncle? Aren't you afraid of being struck by lightning?"

After being scolded, the young man shrank subconsciously, then looked at Shen Qinglan again, and immediately became emboldened, and simply counterattacked:

"Uncle, what are you saying? Aren't you the one who has lost your conscience? My parents just died, and you rushed to take over my family's wealth!"

"On the surface, they brought me back to keep me, but in reality, they treated me like a slave! They beat and scolded me every day. Who has lost his conscience?"

"Now, you have done so many bad things, the princess is upright and strict, she will definitely not forgive you!"

The young man was no longer afraid of the shopkeeper Qi.

He was not stupid, so he could naturally see that Shen Qinglan was planning to severely crack down on this unhealthy trend, so how could he let Manager Qi go?

With Princess Zhan in charge, what is there for him to fear?

Besides, he still has money in his hand! He is very confident!

"You you..." Shopkeeper Qi was so angry that his whole body was shaking.

Shen Qinglan looked at the young man with interest and said:

"Very good, I'll give you fifty taels of silver."

The young man's eyes lit up, and he immediately said happily: "Thank you, Princess! Princess, I will lead the way now!"

Shen Qinglan nodded slightly and let Ren Donglai follow the young man.

Because the food was well hidden, Shopkeeper Qi did not hide it too far away and rented a small courtyard nearby, so Ren Donglai found it quickly.

The evidence was irrefutable, and Shopkeeper Qi felt dizzy. He immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy:

"Princess, please calm down! I, I just made a big mistake because I was blinded by evil spirits for a moment! Please forgive me, Princess. I will do my best in the future and will not slack off again!"

Shen Qinglan sneered, looked at the shopkeeper Qi, and said sternly:

"Have you been possessed by a ghost for a while? You have been working in the grain store for several years, enriching yourself, flattering the superiors and bullying the subordinates, and deceiving the people! You have brought disgrace upon the reputation of Prince Zhan's Mansion! From today on, you will be dismissed from your position as storekeeper, and you will have to pay back the dirty money. In addition, you will be punished with thirty strokes of the cane!"

When Manager Qi heard this, his face was filled with horror.

But Shopkeeper Qi knew that he could not just accept his fate, so he immediately argued:

"Princess, you can't chase me away!"

"If I leave, this grain store will be unattended. Won't it have to close down like the Delicacy House?"

"The losses will only be greater by then! How will you explain to the old Princess Zhan then?"

Shen Qinglan laughed when she heard this...
