Chapter 2684

Seeing elder Zhao's expression, Lin Mengya understood a general idea.

It should be the privacy of the Zhao family again.

I just wanted to skip this sentence, but I didn't expect Zhao Changlao to turn around and take out a small rectangular sandalwood box in the interlayer of the bookcase.

He rubbed the box with a slightly complicated look.

After a long time, he sighed.

"I always thought that as long as my business grew bigger and bigger, both the Presbyterian Council and the Zhao family would pay more attention to me.

Now I understand that I'm just a chess piece they use to collect money. "

When he left home when he was young, he also experienced several life and death before he had his current status.

But I don't want to. Now I suddenly realize that maybe in the eyes of the Presbyterian Council and the Zhao family, he is just a tool.

Even his wife, he could hardly shelter.

As a man, he only felt that he had failed all his life.

Lin Mengya can't comfort each other.

Fortunately, elder Zhao is not a complaining character.

After sighing, he opened the small box.

It is also an account book inside, but compared with those messy accounts outside, those accounts inside are orderly.

He took it out carefully and put it in front of Lin Mengya.

"Here is where every income goes. I have indeed made a lot of money over the years, but except for a small part left by myself for household and turnover, I have handed over most of the rest to the Presbyterian Council and the Zhao family."

No wonder, Lin Mengya thought, no wonder Presbyterian Zhao is discouraged.

She opened the account book, but the contents shocked her eyes.

This is not——

"By the way, I forgot you should not understand."

Elder Zhao patted himself on the head.

Just wanted to find out the control book for her, but saw that the other party was reading page by page. It was quite serious, but it didn't seem that she couldn't understand it at all.

I was surprised.

"How can you understand my secret language?"

Because he was too surprised, elder Zhao's tone was almost interrogative.

But I don't want Lin Mengya's face to be equally incredible.

"So you can speak this language, too? Are all the business outside your hands?"

Originally, they got along quite well, but now they seem to be at a crossfire.

Finally, elder Zhao pinched his eyebrows.

Maybe he's too sensitive.

"Miss Gong, you --"

But before she finished, Lin Mengya couldn't wait to ask, "elder Zhao, I just ask you, are you dealing with the business of those mines outside?"

This is very important!

You know, the divination group was caught in the mine and almost tortured to death.

If elder Zhao is really behind the mining business, Huo Xiao will never die with him after he knows the truth!

Even aunt Fang, I'm afraid she won't forgive him again.

Elder Zhao hesitated for a moment before nodding slowly.

Lin mengarden's heart was half cold.

"Then why did you..." Before Lin Mengya finished asking, elder Zhao suddenly covered her mouth.

"You hide first." After saying that in her ear, he pushed her into the cabinet behind the screen in the study.

Before elder Zhao closed the cabinet, the door of the study was pushed open.

Then, a slightly older male voice said, "elder Zhao, I heard that your wife died a few days ago. Please forgive me."

Elder Zhao kept calm and turned out of the screen.

Hiding in the cabinet, Lin Mengya adjusted her breathing and digested the information she got after opening the hiding function directly.

All the diviners were caught working and abusing in the mine, and the boss behind the scenes in the mine was elder Zhao. Huoxiao was the leader of the diviner group, but his biological mother was elder Zhao's first wife.

This, this is so messy!

Suddenly, she remembered that when Huo Xiao brought diviners to negotiate, Zhao mace also took people to encircle and suppress.

Oh, my God! What the hell is going on?

Outside, elder Zhao's face was a little tense when he saw the person coming.

But he soon recovered as usual, but the man was looking at him with deep eyes.

"Elder Lu, I don't know what you're doing here."

Elder Lu smiled and sat on his chair.

The sight swept from those account books, and there was some coldness at the bottom of his eyes.

"I heard that elder Zhao wanted to check those old accounts, so I came to help."

Elder Lu hides a knife in his smile.

"Although I don't have the ability to turn stone into gold like elder Zhao, I have also been in charge of the business alliance for many years. I'm afraid I don't remember what's on this account book."

Elder Zhao knew that the other party must have bad intentions.

All elders of the Presbyterian Council perform their respective duties, and there are almost no vacancies except promotion and death.

He was born as a dark horse and became the youngest Sanhui elder.

This led to his emergence, destined to occupy the position of some people.

Unfortunately, this man is Lu Changlao.

Before him, the elder in charge of most of the Presbyterian business.

"When you do business, you naturally need to make an inventory to know what makes money and what doesn't. otherwise, don't you want to die?"

Elder Zhao was very calm.

Originally, he had to make an inventory every year, but these days he turned out all the old accounts, which will naturally attract the attention of some people.

I just didn't expect that elder Lu was the first one who couldn't help himself.

"That's true, but Mr. Zhao is really powerful. I don't know what use it will be if I turn over the old accounts of more than ten years. Still, you have another purpose!"

When elder Lu said this, his attitude was very impolite.

Although Zhao Yixuan was a little surprised, now he can be on an equal footing with the other party, and there is no reason to be scolded by the other party.

His face sank slightly. "It's my own business for me to check these accounts. It seems that it has nothing to do with Mr. Lu? Or does Mr. Lu have a ghost in his heart, afraid I'll find something?"

"Zhao Yixuan!" Elder Lu clapped the case and glared at each other.

"The Presbyterian Council is not your speech hall. Besides, you'd better be smart. You should keep your mouth shut even if you rot in your stomach. Otherwise, no one in the Presbyterian Council can save you!"

After the warning, elder Lu left angrily.

It was in Zhao Yixuan's heart that some thoughts were very restless.

What exactly does elder Lu mean?

While frowning and thinking hard, a "bang bang" sound suddenly came from the bookcase behind the screen.

"No!"

He screamed and hurried to open the door.

Lin Mengya, who was almost suffocated inside, was staring at each other with a sad face.

"Do you want to kill?" The hoarse voice was somewhat alert.

Zhao Changlao only felt old face red, hurriedly said.

"No, no, I just thought about things and forgot you."

Oh, will she believe it?

Looking at the other party's eyes with a little doubt, Zhao Yixuan only felt very sorry.

"I'm really sorry. By the way, these account books?"

After all, isn't this guy asking for her?

Lin Mengya, who was sweating a lot, wiped casually, and finally decided to sit down and help him check his accounts.

Although the business of the mine is his, Lin Mengya still feels that elder Zhao should not be such a cruel and unkind person.

This can be seen from his attitude towards aunt Fang and Huo Yunsi.

And these things are full of the word "coincidence".

If nothing happens, Huo Xiao, who knows all the truth, will surely add new and old resentments together and fight with elder Zhao.

It's like Zhao Chang always deliberately targets Huoxiao.

But is that true?

With little medicine, the speed of checking the account books has increased to an amazing speed.

Of course, this is the result of her intentional control.

But this is enough for elder Zhao to be shocked.

"These, these are all calculated by you?"

He had a stack of paper at hand.

What is written on it is all the problematic parts checked by Lin Mengya, as well as the final value of the general ledger of that year.

As for the controversial parts in the account book, she has also marked them and can be found at any time when folded.

Lin Mengya glanced at each other and continued to settle the account.

Finally, when the third candle was half burned, she had smoothed out the accounts for nearly ten years.

Next, she picked up the small ledger in the sandalwood box.

It's a coincidence.

When elder Lu broke in, elder Zhao only remembered to hide her, and the account books were mixed with those old accounts.

Afterwards, elder Zhao was afraid to get a cold sweat.

If elder Lu sees this thing, it must be him!

But the things in the small account book made Lin Mengya feel more and more strange.

The so-called secret language of elder Zhao is the special language used in those account books when she checked the iron ore.

But in fact, there are subtle differences between the two.

To put it simply, the account book on the iron mine belongs to an ancient saying, because some words are very difficult to meet in daily and modern books, and generally will not be used.

But elder Zhao didn't have that kind of situation.

Some parts have been simplified and improved, more like a modern lingua franca.

Of course, these subtle differences can not completely rule out the suspicion of elder Zhao.

But at least, it may be a breakthrough.

After reading the contents of the small ledger, she compared them with the contents of the large ledger, and soon saw the problem.

"The accounts you submit to the Presbyterian Council and the Zhao family every year are clear and there is no problem. However, for at least ten years, the final profit in the large account book is different from the profit that should be in the account book. After excluding some objective factors, I found that the amount of silver in the disputed accounts is consistent with the value of the missing part of profit Yes. "

Afraid that she could not write clearly, she wrote: "in short, part of the profits have disappeared."
