MTL - The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor-Chapter 1015 Disposal(4)

Chapter 1015 Disposal (4)

No wonder Zhao Chunhua thinks so. If the previous master came over, he would definitely send someone to inform them two days in advance and let them prepare in advance, so as not to make mistakes in their busy schedule. Who knows what they will encounter this time? Mo Yan fell in love with Mo Yan who didn't take the usual path.

Seeing what Boss Zhao wanted to say, Zhao Dafu scolded: "Things have already become like this, what's the use of complaining? It's better to calm down and think of a way to dispel the prince's anger and beg her to let our family live."

At this point, he glanced at his daughter who was burying her head in silence, and said to several dissatisfied daughters-in-law: "You little sister is right, no one knows that the county prince will come here today, no matter who of you opens this door. , whatever you are wearing will be exposed in front of the Lord, so don’t blame me anymore."

Being reminded by their father-in-law, the Zhao family's daughters-in-law quickly remembered how they were dressed today, quickly put away their dissatisfaction, and their eyes suddenly softened when they looked at their sister-in-law.

 Zhao Dafu nodded secretly, very satisfied with the few daughters-in-law who were fairly knowledgeable.

"Old man, it seems that the Junjun is not difficult to talk to. If we take the initiative to confess to the Junjun and beg for mercy, the Junjun might let our family go. After all, you didn't take anything from the Junjun." Mrs. Meng said hesitantly. My wife suggested.

Zhao Dafu smiled bitterly: "You think I haven't thought about it? Confess to the Junjun and beg for mercy. If the Junjun is kind, he may allow our family to stay in the village, but he will not leave the village to me again. After taking care of it, from now on our family will only be able to do some menial work on the farm raising chickens and ducks, and we will have to be controlled by others. The most likely possibility is that the county prince will sell off our family."

Over the years, he has made too many false accounts. Thinking of the big clay pot buried under the bed, he felt bitter in his heart.

Hearing what Zhao Dafu said, the small fire in the eyes of Boss Zhao and others, who had just gained new hope, extinguished again. Although they are slaves, they are still slaves no matter what kind of work they do, but there is a difference between slaves and minions.

Slaves who serve their masters closely have many benefits from being decent, but once they offend their masters, they will end up worse than cats and dogs on the street. As for the low-level slaves, they have to do the hardest work, and it is not a good job to get the least amount of money.

It's different for them. Although working in Zhuangzi is harder, no one controls them on weekdays, and they don't have to flatter anyone all the time. Such a free and easy life can sometimes make them forget their status as slaves. When they go outside, they become rich and noble people who are envied by the villagers in Chenjia Village.

Therefore, they desperately hope to stay as they are and continue to stay on Zhuangzi, but they also know that they will not have a good life if they attract the attention of the new master. It would be good to stay and do hard work, but if they were sent to the dental clinic, their family would be torn apart and they might never see each other again.

Mrs. Meng obviously thought of this too. She looked at a room full of children and grandchildren, beat her husband hard and shed tears of sadness: "I told you to stop your hands a long time ago, but you refused to listen. Now that it's like this, how can people live!" "

 Zhao Dafu remained motionless and let his wife beat him. It would be a lie to say that he didn’t regret anything in his heart, but at this point, no matter how much regret he has, it’s useless...

 Mother Meng was not the only one who was sad, the rest of the Zhao family also felt the same as her. The whole family was immersed in gloom and gloom. They could only silently pray in their hearts that Jun Hejia would be lenient and allow them to continue to stay in Zhuangzi. Even if they had to work as coolies, they were not willing to be separated from their flesh and blood.

 After flipping through the two account books, Mo Yan had a preliminary estimate in his mind, but he didn't know that this move made the entire Zhao family panic. She closed the ledger and didn't want to read the rest.

Although the false accounts made by Zhao Dafu were not false at all, Mo Yan still saw the clues. It's just that the accounts are complicated, and for a while I couldn't calculate the specific amount of money that Zhao Dafu spent in those two years. With the help of Xue Tuanzi, I found out that there were about fifty taels of silver in each of these two accounts that were unaccounted for.

 Fifty taels a year, Zhao Dafu has been the steward of this village for twenty years, which means that he has embezzled at least a thousand taels of silver. One thousand taels of silver is nothing to Mo Yan now, but it is enough for the Zhao family to live a prosperous life. It is no wonder that they wear silk clothes and gold and silver jewelry.

You know, as a manager, Zhao Dafu only gets one or two five cents of silver per month. His wife, daughter, daughter-in-law, son-in-law, etc. only get one or two cents a month. As for his half-year-old child, he only gets two to three hundred cents a month. That’s all.

“Yan Yan, what are you going to do with them?” Xue Tuanzi asked curiously.

Mo Yan rubbed his swollen forehead and shook his head: "Zhao Dafu can't be considered greedy. Otherwise, with his ability to make false accounts, no one would find out if he cheated on one hundred and eighty taels a year. In this case, I would like to do it again." Let’s observe and see if we should continue to use it.”

This Zhuangzi has many fields, and the annual output is as much as two thousand taels. It is not easy to detect the deduction of dozens of taels from it. Moreover, the Zhao family raises chickens, ducks and geese in the village. No matter how many they raise, they are all owned by the master. Yes, but they underreported some amount, and the difference fell into their pockets. As a result, it will be difficult to detect from the accounts.

There are many greedy people in the world, but greed is not necessarily a bad thing if you control it well! Zhao Dafu has a good ability, and he may be of great help if he uses it well. Mo Yan didn't want to beat someone to death with a stick just because of this small flaw.

Just when Mo Yan was thinking about something, Zhao Dafu came in with his family of nineteen, and they all knelt on the ground with a thud...
