The Emperor's Son-in-Law

Chapter 53: Tianzi Pavilion's Bad Debt

"You, you are actually the Crown Prince!"

"I wonder what happened just now?"

"Your Majesty, please inform me that I will punish you severely!"

As soon as Zhang Yong saw the prince's token, his heart skipped a beat.

I know things are not good now...

However, this prince looks very young and should not be difficult to deal with.

After all, he is also a member of the Zhang family, so the young master has to watch out for the affection between the two families.

A group of boys were now so frightened that their faces turned pale, especially the guy with blood on his nose.

He never dared to think that the prince of Changguo would actually come to Tianzi Pavilion.

And he's not even as well-dressed as a boy...

"Landlord's Book, can you get all the account books now?"

"Uncle Zhao, let go of Chief Zhang."

"You follow the landowner's book to get the account book."

"Uncle Zhang, let that guy go too."

Duan Chun said lightly.

"Here!"

The two immediately let go of the Zhang family father and son.

"Your Majesty, wait a moment."

"I'm going to get the account book right now."

Tian Youyin glanced at his master and understood that now was not the time for his master to speak.

He turned around helplessly and walked out of the lobby.

"My lord, what exactly do you want to do?"

Zhang Yong asked doubtfully.

"Don't you know what I do?"

"I came here specifically to check the accounts. The embroidery shop's accounts have gotten worse and worse in the past two years."

"Mom, I don't mind asking, so I'll come and see for myself."

"In the end, it doesn't matter. How did my Duan family's Tianzi Pavilion become like this?"

Duan Chun sneered.

"My lord, you must not accuse me unjustly."

"I am following the order of the master of the family to accompany Mrs. Chang Guogong to the Duke's Mansion."

"In the past few years, I have been helping the Duke take care of Tianzi Pavilion."

"There is hard work without credit..."

Zhang Yong quickly defended with his fists clasped.

"Okay, is it a credit or a secret conspiracy?"

"This prince knows very well."

"When I read the account book later, everything will be clear."

Duan Chun said lightly.

Such a large embroidery workshop requires both labor and materials.

As well as business dealings with the Shaofu Supervisor, he wanted to make false accounts in this era.

Where can I escape his eyes?

He could already see clearly that Zhang and his son must have made a fuss about the number of Shaofu's prisoners.

The quantity of cloth and embroidery for the Shaofu Supervisor was reduced, but the quantity of external goods was increased and the price was secretly raised.

There is also a huge problem with the purchase price of materials.

The most important thing is the salary of the embroiderers.

Duan Chun had clearly seen the number of embroiderers and technicians in the embroidery workshop and weaving embroidery workshop in the accounts of the Duke's Mansion.

Now there are more than 170 people, but in reality it is certainly not that many.

This is the best place to do tricks and the easiest place to make money.

Falsifying the number of people and getting paid...

Now that he is here today, Duan Chun wants to directly control the entire embroidery workshop by himself.

Then continue to develop according to your own ideas.

To this end, he has already made some plans.

I already know what to do.

"Your Majesty, although you are the young master of Tianzi Pavilion."

"But don't forget, this is the dowry of the Zhang family."

"It's not something you can interfere at will!"

Zhang Yong heard Duan Chun's unkind tone and immediately shouted angrily.

"Originally, this was my grandma's dowry."

"My son should not intervene directly."

"But because my mother-in-law is a female, she handed over all the seal deeds and keys to this prince."

"What else do you have to say?"

Duan Chun directly took out a seal, a roll of silk cloth and a bunch of keys on the table.

Zhang Yong's eyes widened and he leaned forward in disbelief.

"What, you don't believe what I say?"

"What a courage!"

Duan Chun snorted coldly.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me!"

Zhang Yong's body softened and he knelt down directly in front of the desk.

The moment he saw these sealed land deeds and keys, he understood in his heart.

His clan sister is Mrs. Chang Guogong.

This means that all the properties have been handed over to the Crown Prince of Changguo for management!

"It's good to just admit your guilt."

"Next, I will ask you a question."

"You'd better tell the truth."

"Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless and sending your father and son directly to Jingzhao Mansion."

Duan Chun said coldly.

"Your Majesty, may I ask?"

"I will tell you everything I know..."

"But please, Your Majesty, for the sake of the two families..."

Zhang Yong lowered his head and said with sweat dripping from his body.

The current situation is no longer under his control!

Once problems were found in the account books, he had been corrupt in the past few years when he was in charge of Tianzi Pavilion.

Everything will be investigated clearly!

"Don't worry, I won't kill them all."

"As long as your answer is correct."

"I will not pay any attention to past events."

"My first question is, how many embroiderers and technicians do the two embroidery workshops actually have now?"

Duan Chun asked.

"ah!"

Zhang Yong was stunned when he heard this. This prince is young.

Why did he ask the core question as soon as he opened his mouth...

"What, you don't want to say it?"

"My prince only listens to the truth. If you are found out, you dare to lie."

"You should understand the consequences!"

Duan Chun sneered.

"Reporting to the crown prince, there are seventy-one embroiderers in the two embroidery workshops."

"There are 40 technicians."

"The number I reported is..."

"You reported more than 170 people."

"One embroiderer is half a tael of silver per month."

"How much can you embezzle from your salary in a month?"

Duan Chun directly exposed the other party's means.

"Prince, spare me!"

Zhang Yong was so scared that his forehead touched the ground. He could make false accounts for these things.

But it couldn't stand up to scrutiny.

"Also, the price of your raw materials."

"I'm afraid it's much higher than your peers."

"Your production to the Shaofujian has always been maintained at the same number."

"But the commercial goods you sold privately are all accounts that can't be seen in the light!"

Duan Chun shouted coldly.

"Prince, since you know everything."

"Why bother asking me again."

Zhang Yong touched his forehead to the ground, and he didn't dare to raise his head now.

"Sir, the account book is here."

As Tian Youyin led a few servants and entered the hall with the account book box.

After seeing Zhang Yong kneeling there and trembling.

It was clear that the person in charge had been completely controlled by the prince of Changguo.

"So many accounts?"

Duan Chun felt a headache when he looked at the account books in the three boxes.

"Prince, these accounts..."

"There are many traps in them. I am willing to clarify them one by one for you."

Tian Youyin quickly knelt on the ground.

He was a smart man and knew that he could only abandon his old master now.

Only by telling the truth in front of this prince could he ensure his own safety.

"Very good, tell me clearly one by one."

Duan Chun nodded.

Tian Youyin quickly took the account books and described the Zhang father and son.

And Zhang Yong's two younger brothers, how they secretly kept accounts over the years.

How to put the income of the embroidery workshop into their own pockets.

All described clearly...

"Tian Youyin, you dare to betray my father!"

"This young master will not let you go!"

Zhang Jue shouted angrily.
