Old things in Nancheng

What should come will always come. When Wang Fulai brought two beggars to the other courtyard, Wang En didn't have any chances.

In Wang Zimo's study room, there were only Wang Zimo, Lin Zhilan, Zhang Bucai, Wang Fulai, three assistants and two beggars.Logically speaking, such a matter should be dealt with in public, but Wang Zimo thought for a long time, and decided to deal with it secretly, which can be regarded as taking care of Lin Zhilan's face.

On the first seat, Wang Zimo looked calm, while Lin Zhilan looked worried.She didn't ask about the details of this matter in detail, and she didn't even believe that Wang En would betray her.

When Wang En saw that the two beggars he was connecting with had been arrested, he knew that the matter had been completely exposed, but facing Wang Zimo, the young Wang En was stubborn and stiffened his neck.

"Wang En, are you convicted?" Wang Zimo asked lightly.

Wang En didn't speak, feeling extremely angry that Wang Zimo didn't take himself seriously.Some people are always a bit cheap, others are indifferent, and feel that they are underestimated, and others are furious, and feel wronged.

Wang En looked at Lin Zhilan, hoping to get her help, and Lin Zhilan thought so too, but before the evidence was released, it was inconvenient for her to say too many intercession words.

"Xing'en, if you are wronged, you can confront them. If you really did something wrong, admit it yourself. You are still young, so you can correct your mistakes. It's no big deal." Lin Zhilan persuaded politely.

As soon as these words fell, Wang En was suddenly stimulated like a ferocious little beast, and looked at Wang Zimo with resentment in his eyes. He felt that Lin Zhilan must have been bewitched by Wang Zimo for treating him like this.Yes, when this person came back, everything changed. Now, even the aunt who loves her the most has become indifferent. Everything is thanks to Wang Zimo.

Seeing this, Wang Zimo frowned, while Wang Fulai sneered coldly, he was such a reckless creature, if not for Wang Zimo's kind heart, he would have been kicked out of the Wang family long ago.

"Second Young Master, this guy doesn't know what's good or bad, so he has to come up with something to convince him." Wang Fulai said.

Wang Zimo nodded, glanced at Lin Zhilan, turned to Zhang Bucai and said, "Read it."

Zhang Bucai handed over his hands, opened an account book, gave Wang En a cold look, and reported: "On the first day of May, I got five taels of value from the 'VIP card' on the counter, but it was not recorded."

"On the second day of May, I got a 'VIP card' on the counter to recharge seven taels, but it was not credited."

"On the third day of May, I got a 'VIP card' on the counter to recharge six taels, but it was not credited."

"On the fourth day of May, I got the 'VIP card' on the counter to recharge 26 taels, and the total of [-] taels from the previous three days was credited."

Hearing this, Wang En couldn't help resisting: "The counter is busy, so what if it's a little later in the account!"

"What are you in a hurry for? There's still more to come!" Zhang Bucai sarcastically said, "Dragon Boat Festival on the fifth day of May, the lady checked the accounts, and the account was even, and the lady stamped it."

"On the sixth day of May, I got a 'VIP card' on the counter to recharge six taels, but it has not been credited."

"On the seventh day of May, I got a 'VIP card' on the counter to recharge seven taels, but it was not credited."

. . .

"On May 160th, I got a 'VIP card' on the counter to recharge ten taels. In May, a total of [-] taels was recorded, and the account balance."

Zhang Bucai's repayment made Wang En more and more afraid, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead, but when he heard the last three words "the account is fair", he suddenly regained his spirits and looked at Wang Zimo provocatively.

"Why, you still don't admit your mistake?" Wang Zimo remained calm.

"I've never been greedy for ink, so what's wrong with admitting it!" Wang En said in a dying struggle.

Wang Zimo shook his head lightly, motioning for Zhang Bucai to continue.

"On the first day of June, I got a 'VIP card' on the counter to recharge 13 taels, but it was not credited."

. . .

"On June 240, I got the 'VIP card' on the counter to recharge six taels. In June, a total of [-] seven taels was recorded, and the account balance."

Seeing Wang En wanting to say something again, Zhang Bucai twitched the corners of his mouth and continued to pay the bill without stopping.

"On the first day of July, I got a 'VIP card' on the counter to recharge 12 taels, but it was not credited."

. . .

"July 13th, I got a 'VIP card' on the counter to recharge [-] taels, but it hasn't been credited."

"From the first day of July to the twelfth day of July, a total of 120 taels has not been entered into the account, and the account is not even!"

The day before Wang Zimo's account reconciliation was the twelfth of July, and it was true that nearly half a month's worth of money had disappeared.Wang En finally felt fear from the bottom of his heart. He couldn't figure out how Wang Zimo discovered his secret.

Wang En's plan, which he thought was perfect, was full of loopholes in Wang Zimo's eyes. When he was in the prison camp, the money in and out of Wang Zimo's hands was tens of thousands, not to mention that he had to try his best to deduct it from the account Come out with money.So practice makes perfect, the water in this account room is deep, how can someone like Wang En, who is not even a rookie, understand.

Seeing Wang En's body trembling, Wang Zimo sneered in his heart, but seeing Lin Zhilan's face turned pale, for a moment she wanted to let it go, but Wang En's vicious eyes just now, Wang Zimo did not forget, she hardened her heart and said: "I know you still don't give up, Fulai, let them talk."

Wang Fulai's eyes were full of light, and he walked slowly to the two beggars, and said darkly: "Come and go, there are hundreds of taels of silver, enough for you to eat for ten lifetimes, you are not small! You are really promising, I don't know the county Ya board, can you afford it? Hmph! Now there is a shortage of people in the north, if you let the grandfather know, I think you will have a chance to defend your family and the country!"

It's a small matter to eat a board, but it's a big thing to have a thorn and a military. If you are a beggar in this flowery land in the south of the Yangtze River, it's better to go to the north to fight with the golden soldiers. Whether they survive or not, their lives are over.

The two beggars glanced at each other, and then looked at the serious Wang Zimo. They just felt that the strong coercion of this young man made them unable to resist, and Wang Fulai, who was like a devil, stood beside him. The means of people are really outrageous.

Feeling the dull pain in their crotch, the two beggars knelt down with a "plop" and begged for mercy, ignoring Wang En's warning eyes, "Mr. life."

"How dare you bargain with my master!" Wang Fulai's complexion darkened, threatening.

Wang Zimo raised his hand to stop Wang Fulai, and said: "I only listen to the truth, if there is a sentence that is not true, I will take it to see the grandfather immediately."

There is no benefit in insisting on it. With ironclad evidence in hand, being stubborn will only anger nobles, and the consequences will be even more serious.As soon as the two beggars gritted their teeth, they said everything.

In March, it was the second month after the main store opened, and it was also the month when Lin Zhilan launched the "VIP Card". Two beggars were wandering in the East Market and met Wang En unexpectedly.

The three of them were old acquaintances. Although Wang En didn't mix in the circle of beggars in the past, he always had one or two friends whom he could chat with.The two beggars saw that Wang En was well dressed and became the shopkeeper again in the wonton shop, so they naturally tried their best to curry favor.Wang En enjoyed the feeling of being sought after by others very much, and he expressed the idea of ​​giving them a fortune with a thought.

It's really sleepy when they meet to give pillows, the two beggars don't care what Wang En wants to do, they agree, and at this moment, the lending trio is formally established.

"Your Majesty, there are many merchants on the wharf who will miss out on great business because of short-term turnover. It is a good way to go to the bank to borrow money, but the interest rate of the bank is high, and there must be a corresponding mortgage. Hu can't take it anymore, Wang En came up with this idea."

"Aren't you afraid that you won't get the money back?" Wang Zimo asked curiously.

"Back to the officials, we have been working on the pier, and we are very familiar with the coolies, footwork, and helpers on the pier. As long as we give a little money, they will introduce us to reliable merchants, and some merchants' ships will stop. On the docks, with the coolies watching, it's no different than a mortgage."

"How do you divide the accounts, and how much are you borrowing in total?" Wang Zimo nodded slightly. This Wang En has some aura in business, but it's a pity that his intentions are not right.

"We can't compare to a bank with nine outs and thirteen returns. The capital is more than 400 taels of silver given by Wang Enlian. According to 50 taels, the daily interest is 50%; for more than 80 taels, the daily interest is [-]% and [-]%. I earned seven to eighty taels. Wang En gave each of us half of the profit, and the rest belonged to him.”

"You fart!" Wang En was furious.

"Wang En, you still don't know how to do business. The high-ranking officials have checked out the accounts, and all the guys in your store have been arrested. We don't want to be unlucky with you!" The beggar was also very angry, and turned to Wang Zimo to beg for mercy. : "Your Majesty, we are telling the truth, but there is a lie that will be destroyed by heaven and earth. If Wang En hadn't taken out the money in the shop, how could we have the money to lend money."

"You are bloody!" Wang En tried to quibble, and asked Lin Zhilan for help: "Auntie, you must make the decision for me, these people are all found by her, what she says is not what she means!"

Wang En pointed at Wang Zimo, struggling for the last time: "Auntie, the shop was fine before, but now she is back and is about to take power. Old people like us don't like us, I can't bear it! She is so narrow-minded, Auntie! Don't trust her! She just can't see that everyone in the family listens to her aunt, she is a despicable person."

Wang En wept blood to accuse, and every sentence was full of endless sorrow, the tearful grievance, the anger of being wronged, all silently accusing Wang Zimo of his insidiousness.

If it is said that there is no wavering, Lin Zhilan herself does not believe it. After all, Wang En was trained by her.

Lin Zhilan looked at Wang Zimo, and found that she was calm and scary. Lin Zhilan couldn't help but think of Wang Zimo's tactics these days. After returning, she gave out rewards and checked the accounts. The day before yesterday it was confirmed that Wang En had a problem, and today she presented the ironclad evidence. , and, Wang Zimo went to the main store yesterday, and he showed such kindness again, which made Lin Zhilan feel strange, at least the Wang Zimo she knew was not such a person.

People change, and Lin Zhilan knew that she had already changed. From the daughter of a great entrepreneur in the future, to the disaster after crossing, and then to the revitalization of the Wang family, how could Lin Zhilan not change after all the ups and downs.

What about Wang Zimo?

Wang Zimo suffered even more. When she was in Wangjiazhuang, she was a pure and happy girl who was content with a poor life, neither fighting nor grabbing, and would only choose to give in and forbear in the face of endless accusations and rumors.But later, when their love affair was made public, this wimpy person stepped forward. How much courage was needed.

Then, Wang Zimo went through prison, prison escape, war, bandits, which event can't be a turning point in life?It is understandable if Wang Zimo, who has encountered these things, wants to gain power.

Because in this world, only by controlling power can one control one's own destiny.

However, is it necessary for Wang Zimo to fight for power with Lin Zhilan as soon as he returns?
