I opened a mall in ancient times

Luo Chaochao flipped through the materials that Qiushi had brought for him.

Half of these materials are empty, which means that they did not collude with other forces after they came to Jiushui, but simply wanted to make a little money.

This situation was within Luo Chao Chao's tolerance, and he took the lead in picking out these people.

He believed in Qiushi's abilities very much, and he didn't think that these people could escape the surveillance of Qiushi and his subordinate ghosts. As long as their greed did not exceed his tolerance, they would not be severely punished.

However, this does not mean that Luo Chao Chao will let them go, it's just that the punishment is relatively light.

As for the rest...

Luo Chaoxi raised his eyebrows with interest as he looked at the profiles of these people.

"There are still people alive in the Lu family."

In his impression, the members of the Lu family should have either died or been exiled, and it couldn't be that someone came back from the underworld in the middle of the night.

Or is it a ghost?

It is not impossible.

The data also recorded some relatively simple information.

Due to the tight schedule, some details were not very clear, but soon, Qiu Shi received supplementary information from his subordinates.

It has something to do with ghosts.

Although the emperor attacked the Lu family at the beginning, the Lu family was in the south after all. The family had a big business, a deep foundation, and was inextricably linked with Beidi.

Probably because of the resentment of the dead Lu family members, the mass grave where thousands of Lu family members were buried actually gave birth to a collection of resentment from the Lu family, becoming a sane ghost with crazy thoughts of revenge.

After becoming a ghost, he didn't rush to find trouble with Luo Chaoxi, but hid himself and hid the few direct disciples who managed to save him.

After confirming the emperor's confirmation that they were dead, several direct disciples were sent to Beidi through the operation of many secret lines.

After this period of recuperation, they managed to recover a little bit of strength. They wanted to secretly cash out their previous properties, but found that all their previous properties had been taken away by Luo Chaoxi.

Including those industries that are not under the name of the Lu family.

Although all the properties of the Lu family have been copied, the Lu family will not put all their eggs in one basket.

There is also a part of the industry in the hands of some unrelated people, just because they are afraid of accidents and leave the capital for a comeback.

Now is the time for a comeback.

But what did they find now?

It's true that the Lu family didn't put all their eggs in one basket, but Luo Chaochao couldn't bear it and took all their baskets away!

Not bad at all.

The properties that do not belong to the Lu family were not touched at all, but everything related to the Lu family was searched and ran away.

They had long been mentally prepared that all their properties would be looted by the emperor, but they never imagined that only part of these properties were in the hands of the emperor, and the remaining part was in the hands of Luo Chaoxi!

And the capital for their comeback is also in the hands of Luo Chaochao!

Everyone already hated Luo Chaoxi so much, but now they wished to eat his flesh and blood and crush Luo Chaoxie to ashes.

Especially after seeing the huge shopping mall and dozens of shops under Luo Chaoxi's hands, he was so angry that he had high blood pressure.

Those were all made with their money!

It's all the capital for their comeback!

But the money was gone, and they couldn't take it from Luo Chaoxi in a short time.

You must know that their identities on the surface are all dead, and appearing here again is simply telling the emperor that you can't do it, you can't even kill the grass and roots.

At that time, there must be another search like a net.

But there is another reason.

Although the ghosts of the Lu family fled to Beidi with their direct descendants, they didn't have much money with them.

It is not easy to get along with Beidi, and there must be a price to be paid for giving them asylum.

In addition to life-saving information, of course, some life-saving money must be handed over.

Originally, they thought that the money they had saved in the South would be used as a tactic to slow down the troops, but now they haven't left him a single copper coin, and they still don't know how to make a deal.

The Lu family was about to die of anger, but there was really nothing they could do about Luo Chaochao.

And Luo Chaochao, who had robbed them of their original property, naturally became their primary target.

They must also take the money, but Luo Chaochao can't even think about it.

The Lu family used to be in business, so they naturally knew how to make their colleagues unlucky.

Either a competitor or something went wrong internally.

Although I really don't want to admit it, the Lu family must admit that the products sold in the Luochao shop have no competitors at all, and no industry can compare with Luochao.

Then you can only do it from the inside.

At first they wanted to use the power of ghosts to smuggle away the money stored in the bank, but for some reason, there were really not many local ghosts in the south for them to drive, and most of them were the kind of ghosts that were irrational and did not obey orders. Not only is it useless, but it is also very likely to scare the snake.

No way, you can only use ordinary bribes.

The housekeepers who were bribed really didn't know that the Lu family was behind them. They only thought that they were Luo Chaoxi's competitors, and they could also get benefits themselves, so they readily agreed.

It's just that Luo Chaochao didn't expect to start checking the accounts so soon.

However, although they were nervous, they were not particularly scared. After all, even if they were found out, they would be kicked out. Those bosses who bribed them said that if they were found out, they would protect themselves.

"The ghost of the Lu family, have you seen it?"

Qiushi shook his head, "I've been in the south all this time, and I haven't been to the capital much, Hu Xiaohong and the others should know about it."

Hu Xiaohong and several fox monsters are now mainly in the Beijing branch, which is another stronghold of the fox clan, which is much better than the fierce competition in the south.

Luo Chaoxi contacted Hu Xiaohong and the others again, Hu Xiaohong and the others greeted Luo Chaoxi very happily, then heard Luo Chaoxi's question, thought for a while, then shook their heads: "I didn't notice, there are many big monsters and ghosts near the capital, If there is a very powerful ghost, it is impossible for us not to know about it, we will check it immediately and give you an answer soon."

In other words, the ghosts of the Lu family are not very powerful.

However, this may also be because the monsters under Luo Chaoxi's hands are too powerful. The big monsters they can remember are all big monsters that have lived for thousands of years. This kind of newborn little monster is really out of their attention. within.

"Go and check."

Hu Xiaohong hung up the communication, made a cheering gesture to the surrounding sisters, asked for a vacation with Heishan and the others, and then went out to find someone in person.

After searching, he found a clue.

Now that the capital is protected by Luo Chao, the protective barrier that was already as hard as a golden bell cover and an iron cloth shirt has become thicker than the city wall recently, and even Lord Hide cannot break through the dragon barrier outside. .

With this enchantment, the evil monsters outside can't get in at all, let alone stir up trouble.

However, the execution ground where the Lu family was beheaded and the ditch where the Lu family was buried were outside the capital, so they were caught and turned into ghosts.

The mass grave was full of resentment, and there was not even a blade of grass in the surrounding five miles.

As for the Luo Mansion, since the afternoon, there have been mistresses walking in carrying boxes and boxes of ledgers.

Luo Chaoxi had such a big shopping mall under his control, and together with nearly [-] shops in the south, the ledgers were delivered together with stacks as high as mountains, filling the big yard of Sanjin to the brim.

Luo Chaochao opened a box casually, dug out the ledgers inside, and checked them one by one.

These books still use the original traditional numbers to keep accounts. According to the daily entry and exit one by one, the densely packed characters make Luo Chaochao's head as big as a bucket.And it's still a mess of money in and out.

He is used to reading forms, and he also ordered all the stores under his control to use forms to keep accounts. Why didn't these people listen to him?

"What's going on with these?" Luo Chaoxi put down the account book and asked, "Didn't you ask to use the form before?"

"This...we have never used it here, and everyone said it was inconvenient, so we followed the previous method..." The shopkeeper who was questioned was the one related to the Lu family.

"Why, what I said is useless?" Luo Chaoxi's tone was very calm, but for some reason, all the people present subconsciously fell to their knees.

Especially those who have ghosts in their hearts, on the contrary, they are honest and practical, and the shopkeepers who are not greedy for any money have nothing to do. They just watched other people kneel down, and they also knelt down.

"Just, just..."

The form is of course good, and it is clear at a glance how much money is in and out every day, but it is not convenient for them to manipulate!But they definitely couldn't say it in front of Luo Chao Chao.

Luo Chaochao dug out the account books of several other shops, and all of them used tables, but the numbers were not in Roman numerals, but in normal traditional characters.

This is also what Luo Chaochao requested. After all, traditional characters are inconvenient to change, and it is not easy to manipulate.

"Just what?"

"The little ones must use a new form from tomorrow!" They had no choice but to admit it.

Luo Chaochao didn't ask them to get up, but took the account book from the beginning and read it again.

He had to admit that these people did a good job of fake accounts.

But when paired with Luo Chaochao's correct ledger, the error is as bright as the moon in the night sky.

Luo Chaochao turned to one of the pages, turned it around and handed it to him, "Come on, explain, why didn't I know that there are 80 taels of cotton-padded clothes in my store?" The cotton-padded clothes in their store are mainly for cheap business, Even the most expensive one does not exceed 50 taels, and all stores have a uniform price without fluctuations. Although the Luo tide allows fluctuations within a reasonable range, the fluctuation of 30 taels is not within the allowable range.

Moreover, the inventory does not match.
