The dozen or so brawny men led by Tian Liu had all been captured, one by one, the servants brought by the Grand Master.
Six Tian quickly grabbed the stairs and climbed up to the roof. It was pitch black on top and Tian Six stretched out his hand to feel it. Suddenly, he touched a hard object. Tian Six was overjoyed. "Miss, there's something here!"
Grand Master's face was visibly pale, and his scarlet lips had lost all color.
Naturally, this did not escape Ye Jinsu's eyes.
"Take it down!" Ye Jinsu said harshly.
It was a box.
It was clean. It was obvious that someone had opened it frequently.
Ye Jinsu looked at the box full of account books, picked up a random book, and threw it in front of the Grand Master, "What is this?"
They were caught red-handed.
The Grand Master's back was drenched in cold sweat. He was so nervous that his two lips were trembling. Ye Jinsu stared at him with her hawk-like eyes, as if she wanted to dissect him alive. Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, the Grand Master knew that he could no longer handle this matter, so he fell to his knees with a thump.
"First Miss, have mercy! First Miss, have mercy!"
Spare my life?
She would beg for her life this time. Wasn't she being stubborn before?
Ye Jinsu looked at him with a sneer. She rummaged through the account book in the box, found her own and opened it. With every page she looked at, Ye Jinsu's expression became colder. When she finally saw it, she threw the entire account book at Lady Wang's face.
"Is that what you said?"
Old Lady Wang was frightened to the point that her entire body trembled. Tears had long since flowed down her cheeks. If it wasn't for the fact that her mouth was gagged, she would still be able to cry.
The past few years had been pretty good. In those few years when he was young, he had basically deducted seventy to eighty percent of the debt. Not only that, even Ye Jinsu's mother's appetite was reduced. No wonder in Ye Jinsu's childhood memories, her mother was clearly an official wife, yet she lived such a bitter life.
He finally found a reason.
Ye Jinsu stared at the couple kneeling on the ground, her eyes cold as if she wanted to kill them.
"Miss, how should we deal with these two people?" Six looked at the accounts in the box, then at the two men on the ground.
The Grand Master immediately raised his head and stared at Ye Jinsu with fear in his eyes. If Ye Jinsu were to punish them, then the only thing they would be able to do would be death. It must not be like this...
To be dealt with, it was only when Ye Zhichang and the Old Master returned that the matter was handed over to them.
He might be able to keep his life.
Ye Jinsu looked at the Grand Master's changing expression and said coldly, "Grand Master is still my father's man. I think it would be better to let father handle this matter."
"Tie these two up and take them to my father's courtyard."
The Grand Master was startled, and couldn't help but feel ecstatic. It was likely that even Ye Jinsu didn't dare to carelessly punish them.
Ye Jinsu cast a sidelong glance at him before she got up and left.
Tian Liu brought his men directly outside. With such a grand posture, it attracted quite a few servants who were watching from the sidelines. The mansion was bustling with activity for a while. When Ye Hei returned, he looked at the strange atmosphere in the mansion in bewilderment. He then asked the steward beside him, "What happened in the mansion?"
The butler heard a bit and wiped away the sweat on his forehead. He said: "It seems to be eldest miss. She took people to check the accounts."
Ye Shisui frowned. It was Ye Jinsu again.
Checking the accounts?
What was she up to this time?
Ye Shisui had just started to walk up the stairs, trembling in fear. Now that he was faced with such a situation, his anger rose up and he started to walk towards the accounting office with big strides. "He would like to see what exactly Ye Jinsu was up to.
When he passed by his own yard, Ye Zhisu was surprised to see Ye Jinsu standing in front of it.
On closer look, the Grand Master and Old Lady Wang were currently tied up and held captive on the ground.
Ye Zizai looked at the scene in astonishment and anger. He could not help but step forward and roar, "What are you guys doing?"
No rules!
Ye Jinsu lowered her head and kneeled down, gesturing for Tian Liu to bring the chest of true account books up to her. She said, "Father, your daughter went to the accounting room to check the accounts today and found this."
Inside the box was a box of account books.
Ye Zhenzheng picked up a book and looked at Ye Jinsu's serious face and the Grand Master's panicked expression. He sensed that something was wrong. With this flip, something did indeed turn out to be wrong.
"This …" Ye Zheng held the tent in his hand, his pupils enlarged, as he looked at these things in disbelief.
Ye Jinsu lowered her head and explained, "That's right, her daughter found out that Grand Master and Lady Wang spent all these years trying to get something out of her daughter's monthly allowance. These are the true accounts. What I showed to my daughter previously were all false accounts. "
"My daughter thought that since there are so many other accounts here, it must be something important, so she decided to leave it for father to handle."
There was only shock left on Ye Chong's face. Shocked, he looked up at Ye Jinsu. "Did you see this?"
Ye Jinsu shook her head with a look of understanding. "Daughter is not someone from the sect. She has no right to look at these account books."
Ye Chong felt more or less at ease. The accounts of the Ye residence for the past few decades were stored in these books. How important was this thing? If he showed it to Ye Jinxiu, he would probably be on tenterhooks.
He closed the account book in a fluster and shifted his sharp gaze onto the Grand Master.
He never thought that the person he trusted would do such a thing!
Sensing Ye Shanzheng's angry stare, the Grand Master fell to the ground, kowtowing while crying. "My lord, my lord, I have let you down, I have been blinded by the lard!"
Ignoring the Grand Master's pleas for mercy, Ye Shisui knew that the most important thing at the moment was to investigate this matter thoroughly. With a cold expression, Ye Chong ordered his men to carry the suitcases into the yard and move them into the study.
"Bring him in!"
He had to see these books himself first and know what he had done to them all these years.
It was hard to tell, but Ye Zheng almost passed out from anger when he saw this. Master Bai had fished out at least a hundred thousand taels of silver from the Ye residence. Besides that, several villages on the outskirts of the Ye residence had earned much of their income over the years.
This Grand Master actually had two mansions in the capital and a manor on the outskirts of the capital! It was all based on the money he had collected from the House of Ye!
All the expenses in this residence were basically all wrong!
Ye Zheng was angry to the point that his face turned red and his eyes almost popped out. In one breath, Ye Zheng slapped the table fiercely, his teeth itching in anger. "You dog slave!"
After rushing out of the study room, Ye Shisan's eyes turned red with anger. "Drag these two servants away and beat them to death!"
Old Lady Wang was so frightened that her eyes rolled back as she fainted.
The Grand Master was so scared that his entire body was trembling. He crawled to Ye Zhonglou's feet and begged for mercy. "Please spare this servant's life, Master. Please be merciful, Master."
He knew Ye Zhonglou was impetuous, but his ears were also soft. As long as he begged, he might be able to survive.
"Father, the Grand Master has been an old man for several decades. Although he has made a mistake, I believe he has only been greedy for money."
"Dad, why don't you try your luck? He'll definitely remember to teach you a lesson this time."
