Chapter 260 It is only right and proper to pay off debts
Wen Yao frowned and glanced at Mo Dongliu.
These people were Mo Dongliu's subordinates at the beginning. Wen Yao still needs to ask for his own opinions whether to use it or not.
Mo Dong didn't even raise his head: "You can deal with it."
He lets Wen Yao go all his powers, just to let Wen Yao open up a world by himself. Wen Yao was not polite, so he closed his clothes and walked out of the private room with great strides.
"Take him to the reception hall to meet me."
"Yes, Your Highness the Princess."
The subordinates immediately went to inform him, and not long after, Wen Yao saw a figure walking hurriedly.
She was in front of her, and her whole body was filled with leisure, leaning against the soft-cushioned chair, looking relaxed and comfortable.
However, the middle-aged man in front of him was not so lucky. He was full of a down-and-out aura and had a tangled look on his face. When he saw Wen Yao, he immediately saluted: "The Caomin greets His Highness the Princess."
He lowered his head, his head was so level with his waist, and he lost his original aura at all. Wen Yao took a sip of tea and smiled, "What, can you even kneel down when you see this princess?"
Wen Yao's voice was condensed, without any polite smell.
If this person had been more respectful or obedient to her, she would not have killed her.
Yan Tao has always been extremely arrogant because he had Mo Dongliu's support behind him. He believed that if Mo Dongliu had not been him, the industry in the capital would have become a mess long ago.
But who knows that after he is gone, the business will not only not be in a downturn, but will also improve in just one month and get better and better.
He had already panicked, but he didn't dare to come because of his face. But now he had to come, just because Wen Yao was extremely ruthless and directly cut off all his retreat.
He heard Wen Yao's words and fell to the ground with a thud: "Your Highness, the princess, you know that you are wrong. Please give me a lot of money..."
Wen Yao directly interrupted him: "I am a villain, so it's useless to not say such words to me. Since you decided to go against me, you will have to bear the consequences."
Yan Tao lowered his head and did not dare to speak. He gritted his teeth in secret, feeling extremely humiliated.
"By the way, if you don't explain where the missing portion of the money went, I'm afraid you will suffer from flesh and blood when you enter the government in a while."
Yan Tao said: "I really don't know what money. I have never used any money during my control of Yufeng Tower. Please check it out."
Wen Yao saw that the other party wanted to argue, but he had no intention of regret at all. The coldness in his eyes became stronger and stronger: "With all people and evidence, do you still dare to argue?"
A layer of cold sweat broke out from Yan Tao's forehead, and a flash of eyes saw a book of account that Wen Yao had thrown in front of him.
This account book is a handwritten copy, and even if it is destroyed, it is useless. Yan Tao opened it and looked at it, and was shocked.
All the things written in this list are shortages and bad debts for so many years, and everything is very detailed and can be seen at a glance.
I don’t know what writing should be. The handwriting is beautiful, small and clear, and there are also dates of notes, so even if he wants to refute it, he can’t say it.
Even professional accounting offices cannot achieve this level. Who is so powerful?
This is a book book for nearly ten years. Even if a bunch of people sort it out, there will be few omissions and mistakes. So even he himself doesn't know how much money he took from the building over the years, but on the last page, he gave it to him directly.
He has a statistic.
All the accounts of these shops combined, they lost millions of taels of silver, and the tax revenue in the entire Northern Song Dynasty was only one million taels a year.
"Yan Tao, there are only two ways in front of you now, either pay back the money or pay back your life."
Yan Tao hurriedly kowtowed to Wen Yao. He thought that those accounts were destroyed and that they would be so unscrupulous. But who would have thought that Wen Yao would find them all.
"Princess, please spare me, I will report this to the prince. You are not qualified to deal with me. Everything is wrong..."
Wen Yao sneered, the other party actually used Mo Dongliu as a shield.
She sat obliquely on the soft chair, gently touching the lovesickness that had already been on the index finger of her right hand with one hand.
Yan Tao had seen Mo Dongliu wear such a thing on his hand, and recognized it at a glance. After all, lovesickness is too unique.
"Don't wait for the prince. Just say it now, otherwise you may never see the prince in your life."
Yan Tao's eyes were even more panic. The reason why he had the courage to fight Wen Yao was that he still thought that Yufeng Tower could not do without him...
But the facts prove that Yufeng Tower is still very good without him.
"That silver was actually...to the third prince, the current crown prince."
Wen Yao finally understood who gave Yan Tao the courage that made him unscrupulous. It turned out that he had betrayed Mo Dongliu long ago.
No wonder Mo Dongliu has so many business industries and earns countless money every year. He would never have thought that the people under his nose would make mistakes.
But Mo Dongliu is also amazing, and everything will be settled until it is irreversible.
"So, are you actually helping Mo Wuyun with his business?"
Yan Tao has never dared to hide the matter: "Yes... The Empress arranged someone to talk to me back then, and she threatened me with the safety of my family and asked me to plunder millions of taels from the business in the capital every year.
She gave the money to her, and she said that these were all to pave the way for the third prince’s future. After His Royal Highness ascended the throne, we will be the confidants of the new emperor.”
What he said is not without reason, and only such promises are more likely to make people excited. Originally, Mo Wuyun was the queen's legitimate son who had an extraordinary status and was the most likely person to be close to the throne. These little people have such short-sighted vision.
Do something to betray your master.
His words are half true and half false, and cannot be believed in them all.
"Are there any documents?"
Yan Tao was stunned: "No...no..."
He shook his head with a trembling voice, but heard Wen Yao smile: "No? You can tell such a lie, do I want to cut off your hands and feet and pay off your debts now!"
"Yes, I'll get it for your Highness right away!"
Wen Yao nodded and asked someone to accompany Yan Tao to get the documents. Not long after, a thick stack of orders that had been available for some years had been delivered to Wen Yao.
These documents are marked with fingerprints, because of such a large sum of money, Yan Tao cannot leave any handle.
This is the way out for him. As long as the prince does not fall down for a day, he can use this thing to become an official at the last moment. It's simply too easy.
Wen Yao raised a sneer on the corner of his mouth and glanced at Yan Tao with a low glance.
"You enter the palace with me."
Yan Tao suddenly raised his head, and he was stunned: "What are the Caomin doing when he enters the palace?"
"The certification evidence is here. Of course, I want to take you to ask for debts. It is natural to repay debts. Even if she is the queen and prince, what can she do?"
"I won't go, please let the princess go..."
However, how could Wen Yao miss such a great opportunity? She checked the accounts for a whole month and was exhausted to sort out how many brain cells she had to sort out the account book. If she didn't get the money and interest back, she would suffer heavy losses.
Without further ado, Wen Yao immediately asked several servants from Yufeng Tower to suppress Yan Tao to the palace. Some people saw Princess Changyao all took a detour.
She ignored the gazes of the people around her and asked the two of them to take Yan Tao straight to the Queen's Luanfeng Palace, one left and one right. Some palace maids passing by quickly speeded up to report to the Queen.
The queen was sitting in the room for meals. When she heard the palace servants outside rushed in in a panic, she frowned slightly: "What's going on?"
She wiped the corners of her mouth gracefully and luxuriously, and heard the palace maid say, "It's Princess Changyao, who is directly brought someone to the gate of the Empress Palace."
The queen's scalp was tingling and her face turned green: "Why is no one stopping me?"
Such a big thing happened to the Wen family, which had some impact on her, so the queen also lived in simplicity during this period and did not make any mistakes.
Fortunately, as long as the Wen family is still there, her status will not change, and the queen can be so leisurely today.
But unexpectedly, Changyao actually entered the palace again.
"Isn't she leaving? The agreed time is coming soon. General Jin Xun is ready to go. What else does she have to do?"
The palace maid did not answer because Wen Yao had arrived.
The eunuchs and nannies outside could not stop Wen Yao's footsteps. She mercilessly knocked down all the people on the ground and arrogantly fought in front of the Queen's Palace.
"Of course I'm here to ask for debt!"
Wen Yao's voice was quite loud, and the queen could hear it clearly.
She was so angry that she led a few people out: "Wen Yao, this is the palace, and you can't let you go."
Wen Yao smiled: "I've been wild for not once or twice. Even if I break the palace, what can you do to me?"
The queen was so angry that she was so angry that Wen Yao said.
"You stinky girl..."
"Queen, don't rush to scold people, but think about how to pay back the money. In ten years, there are a total of 657 taels of silver. If you have a little less interest, just pay an integer, no more or less than ten million taels.
."
As soon as she said this, the entire Luanfeng Palace was confused.
"What ten million taels?"
The queen looked suspicious, but when she looked sideways, she saw Yan Tao being pressed behind her.
She felt a little sad, and she thought something was wrong in her heart, and she took a step back.
"You...you are..."
Wen Yao smiled and said, "Does the queen look familiar to him? Unfortunately, he is a shopkeeper under my command. Now I have all the Yufeng Tower. When I checked the accounts, I happened to find that the queen owed us.
Yufeng Tower has a lot of money, so today I came to ask for debts."
She pointed to the note in her hand: "There is a fingerprint of your Empress, if you want to pay a loss, I will immediately report it to the emperor and ask him to judge me."
Ten million taels of silver...
The queen only felt her whole heart was limp.
She has been so elegant and comfortable for so many years, and no one has seen the queen have any family business outside. Moreover, the Wen family rarely goes with the queen for so many years. Just relying on the salary of the palace concubine in the palace, how could there be extra money?
.
Whether it is the rear of the palace or the previous dynasty, most of them need money to handle the matter, especially those officials. How could they not take out the money if they want the other party to do their own business?
