Chapter 356 Peerless Antiques(2/2)
Xiao Jinyan said, "What's wrong? Isn't it just a broken chair? At worst, when I take my hand as my one, I will compensate you!"
"Compensation? How do you pay?" said the guy, "Do you know the origin of this chair? This is the chair that the old lady Qin Shihuang sat on back then. It has a history of thousands of years. Such a precious thing will be destroyed in your hands. If the shopkeeper comes back later, you may be arrested to meet the official!"
"You just say how much, right?"
"How much is it? This is a priceless treasure!"
Xiao Jinyan stood up, "I understand, you deliberately cheated me. Your chair was originally broken!"
The guy sneered, "How come it is, it will not be broken sooner or later, it will not be broken for so many years. Why did you break it as soon as you sit down today?"
He shouted, and several swordsmen surrounded him and looked at Xiao Jinyan with a bad look. Xiao Jinyan was immediately discouraged, "What do you think you should do?"
Seeing that his face was flushed, the guy persuaded the swordsmen to leave and said kindly, "I think my brother is not a local, and it is not easy to be here. Why not do this? The chair you brought with you should be considered as compensation for this Grand Master's chair."
Xiao Jinyan shouted, "No! I'm from the golden nanmu!"
"Then let's go and meet the officials!" said the clerk, "You know, this is the pawnshop of the Li family in Jinling, the city official of the Wucheng Military and Ma Si, but the second young master of the Li family. As the saying goes, the people do not fight with the rich, and the rich do not fight with the officials. Brother, I would like to advise you, just forget it!"
Xiao Jinyan pointed to the broken priest chair and said, "It turns out that I took a new priest chair and replaced it with an old one?"
The guy advised, "Even if it's bad, this is an antique. You can make a profit without losing money. Be content. Go back and find a craftsman to repair it. Maybe you can sell it for a good price!"
Xiao Jinyan was dissatisfied and muttered, while carrying the chair that was broken into several pieces and leaving the No. 7 pawn shop. When he arrived at the place where no one was, he split the hollow chair legs with his internal force, and indeed found an account book hidden in it.
He found Qingcao and asked Qingcao to give Li Qingcheng a little account book. He thought to himself, hoping that this would be useful, and the rest would depend on Li Qingcheng's.
Shanhefang.
Li Qingcheng got the account book and read it carefully. The bill recorded the income and expenditure of Pawnshop No. 7 in the past three years, and finally found the transaction record from the beginning of last year.
When the account was closed at the beginning of the year, the No. 7 pawn shop had a profit of 800,000 yuan. On the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, they bought 30,000 kilograms of tea from a Lingnan business. Li Qingcheng ordered people to check the actual items and found that the tea was inspected and inspected and all the procedures were available. On the 20th day of the first lunar month, they were taken away by all the people from the three bedrooms, and the reason was that Qingliang Temple gave alms.
There is no problem with the documentary procedures. But the loophole is obvious. There are accounts records, no physical delivery, inspection, and withdrawal, and all three bedrooms are all. What’s more, Qingliang Temple is full of slums, so where can I use tea? What’s more, Lingnan tea is not the best, and it’s already considered a good 700 to 800 citations on the market.
Li Qingcheng gave the clue to Li Xiaohua. Li Xiaohua urgently transferred the accountant from the outer village to investigate for a day and night. After confirming that he had obtained the evidence from the three bedrooms, he issued a notice that the sixteen people in Jinling from the three bedrooms went to the meeting hall to discuss the matters, and the subject of the discussion was the matters about burning the bill of the bill during the great worship of ancestors.
As the future heir to the head of the family, Li Qingcheng was also qualified to attend. He was openly quarreled with Li Xiaohua because of the Li Jinping incident, so when he came to the meeting hall, everyone looked at Li Xiaohua.
Li Xiaohua looked unhappy, "Why are you here?"
Li Qingcheng said, "Three years ago, I was nominated as the next head of the family by the Presbyterian Church, so I am naturally qualified to participate in this discussion. Even if I don't have the right to vote, Is it always possible to listen?"
Li Xiaoshu, the third wife, also said, "Qingcheng, why do you talk to your father?"
Li Qingcheng said, "I'm afraid he will be confused when he is old, so don't make the wrong accounts. Isn't it a fool to destroy the ancestors at the ancestor worship ceremony? "
Li Xiaohua was furious, "Li Qingcheng!"
Li Qingcheng held his hands in his chest, "Listen."
"Since I can suggest that your clan is qualified to abolish your qualifications, don't forget that I am the head of the family now."
Several elders repeatedly advised, "It's all father and son, why bother so hard? It's spreading, and others can make a joke."
Li Xiaohua snorted coldly, "I'm afraid that I'll become a joke in the eyes of some elders now."
Li Xiaoshu said, "Okay, since Qingcheng is here, let him sit down." He stood up, pointed to a stack of books on the table, and said, "According to the order of the head of the family, I will take thirteen accounts to calculate the accounts of the Li family last year again. It will be the ceremony of ancestor worship. Now I will inform you that if there is no problem, I will use this set of books to worship the ancestors in ten days."
