    Qiao Mu sent his daughter-in-law away, and asked the servants to move the account books to the window. After rewarding them with dozens of coins and sending them away, he sat at the window and read the account books attentively.

    But the more I read it, the more I felt something was wrong.

    There is nothing difficult about ancient account books for Qiao Mu. It is easy to understand, but it is more complicated and time-consuming. She is even very aware of the various methods of falsification in ancient account books. Of course, those falsification methods still require  Only after combing through it carefully will we know where the corruption lies, but the price column at the back is very obvious to be fake.

    ?An egg for one cent, a chicken for one tael, a fish for half a tael, a bird's nest for thirty cents, a courgette for twenty cents

    ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Even if Qiao Mu hasn't personally been to a food market in this world, he still knows that no matter what happens, eggs can't be sold for a dollar each. How much does the guy in Wulin Gaiden make per month? It's only two dollars a month.

    Their monthly salary is only enough to buy two eggs. I won¡¯t talk about the story. Let¡¯s just talk about the monthly salary of a maid in their house. The monthly salary of a first-class maid in their house is only two taels of silver. How good are they?  It's easy to sit in the position of a first-class maid, just for the monthly money of twenty eggs, this is crazy.

    After reading for a while, Qiao Mu was not in the mood to continue reading. She was thinking, should she raid the second house before the division, or after the division?

    Both methods have advantages and disadvantages, and the advantages and disadvantages are not quite equal. Overall, no matter which method has more advantages than disadvantages, Qiao Mu must choose an implementation with the least impact.

    Because if the commotion is too big, it will not only affect the reputation of the Marquis Mansion, but also easily offend the housekeepers of the major mansions in the capital. After all, if their family spreads the story of how much money they took from the servants in the mansion, it will be spread everywhere.  , wouldn¡¯t other families suspect how much their servants have embezzled?  As the saying goes, the King of Hell is easy to mess with, but the devil is difficult to deal with. Those servants are obviously the difficult devils around the King of Hell.

    It is better not to offend or offend.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????? It is naturally better to confiscate the house first and then divide the property, so as to avoid the bastards after the division being dissatisfied when they see the large amount of assets obtained by confiscating the house, making noise and causing trouble in the city.

    "That's all, let's raid the houses before dividing them. At least if we raid the houses of the slaves, we won't be too embarrassed when we divide the houses. We can give those bastards a little bit of the property to avoid entanglement."

    Qiao Mu thought for a while and decided to wait until he ransacked other people's houses before dividing the family. Otherwise, apart from the fields and shop, there would be nothing else in the family, and it would be too cold.

    After making up his mind, Qiao Mu certainly couldn't use people from the palace to ransack the house. Instead, he immediately ordered his maid to call people from the most famous tooth shop in the capital and bought thirty strong and courageous people from the tooth shop.  The male servants who were not very willing to work as slaves promised them in front of them to help ransack their homes, and then they were freed. Then, they had all the doors in the house locked, and a comprehensive raid began.  Copy inspection.

    For a moment, there was a lot of excitement, ghosts crying and wolves howling.

    Heliangyuan

    Wen Qilian was having breakfast in the house. When he heard the noise and crying outside the yard, he immediately stood up in surprise and wanted to go out to see what was going on.

    Why is the house so troubled?

    "Husband, please don't go. This is the old lady who is sorting out the housework. She notified me yesterday and asked me not to pay attention to the noise outside. Please rest and drink your green rice porridge in peace. Don't worry."

    Ms. Xiao was not anxious at all because Qiao Mu had already passed her anger with her yesterday. She put down the bowl of white fungus soup in her hand and persuaded with a light smile.

    When Wen Qilian heard that it was his mother who was taking care of the housework at home, he naturally couldn't say anything, but he still asked curiously: "What is it for?"

    "I don't know very well, but it must be the corruption of the housekeeper's servants. My mother only told me yesterday that she found a lot of problems when she checked the accounts, and we need to clean up the moths in our house. Don't be too curious. I'll tell you later.  It's quiet outside, I think my mother-in-law will tell you the relevant situation."

    Ms. Xiao didn¡¯t know much, only Qiao Mu told her a few words yesterday, so naturally she couldn¡¯t explain much about this matter. She could only say a few words that she understood.

    "That's right, but my housekeeper hasn't done anything big for decades. I don't know who offended my mother this time, and I will definitely punish her severely!"

    Wen Qilian actually knows almost nothing about the housekeeper in the back house, so at this time he can only guess who has done something wrong and caused trouble.This chaos happened because of his mother, so he didn't take it too seriously.

    Ms. Xiao just chuckled and didn't explain much.

    How could she not know the fishiness in the account books after being a housekeeper for three or four years? It's just that those housekeepers are all old people in the house. She is a wife and her mother-in-law is there, so it's hard to send all those people directly.  Go to the government, so I can only endure it all these years. Now that it is better, my mother-in-law will take action to get rid of those moths. It will be much easier for her to manage the house again in the future.

    While they were eating, there was suddenly a knock on the door outside the yard. A man stood at the door of the yard where they lived and shouted:

    "So that the eldest master will know that I am here to clear out my servant's assets under the order of the old lady. I hope that the eldest master will not blame me later and open the door to convenience."

    As soon as he finished speaking, three or four healthy servants broke in. Under the guidance of one person, they passed by the house of Wen Qilian and his wife Xiao, and searched all other houses in their yard except for the two of them.  After a thorough inspection, if the quantity of the seized items is within a certain range, all items will be returned to their original positions. If there are items that are obviously beyond the scope and the quantity is too large, all items will be taken down.

    ¡°This time, three more nuns, four stewards and two older girls were arrested from the yard.

    Wen Qilian, who acted quickly, was a little stunned and wanted to scold him, but he thought that this was his mother's order, so in the end, after moving his lips slightly, he continued to drink porridge in silence.

    The current Marquis of the Hou Mansion is treated like this in his courtyard, not to mention the other bastards, who are naturally treated in the same way. The courtyards that should be inspected are searched, and the people who should be arrested are all tied up.

    This commotion has obviously spread to everyone in the entire Hou Mansion. After Wen Qilian finished drinking the Bijing rice porridge, he and his wife Xiao hurried to Wenxi Hall to ask what happened, and the other eight  The concubine who had not gone to court, or was not an official, also hurried over, wanting to ask what was going on so as not to worry.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
