Chapter 827: Don’t Be Too Serious

Gu Fei had Guanshi Yang tied up and watched while he returned to the backyard.

An hour later, a maid came back and lowered her head to report: "Master, there are too many things in Manager Yang's house. There are four houses in the house alone. My aunt has seven or eight rooms. There is also a girl with yellow hair and green eyes and a girl with red hair and blue eyes." My aunt’s eyes look like ghosts, which is scary.”

"Miss Qin asked me to come back and ask the master if everything should be copied back to the palace?"

Gu Fei couldn't help but laugh. Manager Yang was even interested in foreign girls.

She nodded, "Copy it, copy it thoroughly for me. If there's not enough manpower, send some more guards over. I want to see how much Manager Yang has been greedy over the years."

The maid answered and went out.

This trip lasted all night.

In the morning, Gu Fei got up, washed herself and went to the princess's yard to say hello.

The princess watched Gu Fei hesitate to speak, and finally couldn't help but said: "I heard that you detained Manager Yang?"

Gu Fei nodded, "There is a problem with the fleet's accounts."

The princess waved Gu Fei over, pulled her to sit next to her, and said softly: "You don't know, this Manager Yang is the prince's baby brother and the person he trusts most."

"The prince actually knew that he was making money. He just turned a blind eye because of the love he had since childhood."

"If you really want to deal with him, I'm afraid that the prince will be embarrassed."

Gu Fei thought for a while, "Manager Yang is greedy for money, I'm afraid it's not even a little bit. Nearly two hundred maids and guards have gone there, and they haven't come back after an afternoon and a whole night. This shows how much stuff there is in the house."

The princess sighed, "I'm just afraid that the prince will scold you for this."

Gu Fei smiled and said, "There's nothing we can do about it. Steward Yang will copy it if he doesn't want to."

When the princess saw that Gu Fei didn't care, she didn't feel like saying anything.

Gu Fei returned to his yard. After lunch, Qin'er hurried in and handed Gu Fei a stack of ledgers. Gu Fei flipped through them and found that this was the real ledger over the years.

While she was reading, she asked Qin'er, "How much of his family's property was copied in total."

Qin'er handed over another notebook, "There are more than 30,000 taels of gold and more than 600,000 silver. They were all buried in the cellar and the wall. It took a lot of effort to get them out."

"The rest include silver notes, which add up to more than 500,000 taels, house deeds, land deeds, jewelry, furs, corals, gold basins, jade carvings, and all kinds of things, too many to count."

"We've pulled dozens of carts of stuff, but they haven't finished yet. All the cars are parked at the entrance of the warehouse. I'm here to ask if the stuff needs to be put into storage?"

Gu Fei let out a long breath and said, "Don't be busy putting it in the warehouse now. I'll report it to the prince."

She got up and took Yan'er and Lian'er to the prince's courtyard.

The servant went in to report, and she waited at the door for a while before the prince asked her to come in.

The prince sat behind the desk and said pleasantly: "Is there something wrong with the imperial concubine?"

Gu Fei was happy and said softly: "Father, my daughter-in-law discovered yesterday that the fleet's account was not in balance."

"I sent someone to get the account book from Steward Yang's house. After searching for a long time, I found the account book in a wall. At the same time, I found some gold and silver."

The prince sighed, "Prince Concubine, you don't know that Guanshi Yang is my brother-in-law. He is not comparable to ordinary people. Since I ask him to do this job, there is no need to take some things too seriously."

"There are some errors in the accounts. Just tell him a few words and ask him to make up for the wrong money."
