Chapter 72 The Prince's Test

Shitou listened carefully to what Lu Shiyuan said, but his face turned gloomy.

After Lu Shiyuan finished speaking, he said righteously: "What do you mean, you want me to cook the books? Okay! I didn't expect you to be this kind of person, even wanting to make money from Prince Yan's back!

The Seven Stars of Liyue really made a mistake in choosing you, and actually let someone like you to perform the Immortal Ceremony!"

"Uh..." Lu Shiyuan was stunned. Looking at Shitou's righteous face, he laughed in his heart, "It seems that even a profiteer has his own integrity!"

"That's not the case, Boss Shi." Lu Shiyuan laughed, "I'm not trying to make money from the Emperor. Just ask everyone in Liyue, I'm a loyal fan of the Emperor.

The money I earn is from... foreigners!"

"Foreigner?" Shi Tou was stunned.

"It's those Fatui." Lu Shiyuan said, "The Fatui are not good people. I saw with my own eyes that they beat a Qianyan Army messenger seriously and almost destroyed the unity between our Liyue people and the immortals of Jueyunjian!

Therefore, if they get the chance to cheat the fools, any Liyue person with integrity will make a fortune from them!"

"You mean..." Shitou's tone slowed down, "the money you earn is all the money of the Fatui?"

"That's right." Lu Shiyuan said seriously, "I swear to Lord Yan that everything I said is true. Liyue people don't lie to Liyue people!"

"Since you said so, I can't help but believe it." Shi Tou nodded in conviction.

"Then do what I say and do the accounting." Lu Shiyuan reminded, "Remember, the Fatui people are likely to come to check the accounts, and you should refuse them at that time. If you really can't refuse, show them again, and don't let them see the flaws."

As he spoke, he took out a heavy bag of Mora and calmly placed it in Shitou's hand, "I'll leave this matter to you, Boss Shi."

"Okay, okay." Shitou put the purse into his arms without leaving a trace. For Liyue merchants, as long as it is not money related to the Emperor or people's life-saving money, they are happy to make some money.

"Then Boss Shi, please help prepare nine empty boxes and fill them with some waste stones or something so that no one can find any flaws." Lu Shiyuan said with a smile.

"That's easy." Shitou nodded, and soon he found nine heavy boxes. Lu Shiyuan explained to everyone, got a small cart, put all the boxes on it, and said goodbye to Shitou.

Not long after everyone left, Ekaterina, who had been following Lu Shiyuan and others from a distance, arrived at the entrance of "Jie Cui Hang".

When Shi Tou saw Ekaterina's attire, he understood that since he had already accepted Lu Shiyuan's money, he should do the job for her.

So, he went up to him cheerfully and said, "Sir, would you like to try your luck with a piece of rough stone?"

"No thanks." Ekaterina smiled gently, "Boss, I want to see what those people who just left bought and how much they spent."

"This..." Shitou looked embarrassed, "That is the guest's privacy, we can't show it to outsiders casually."

"Boss, I'm from the Northland Bank." Ekaterina's tone became stern, "I'm also an investor in these people. It's reasonable for me to check if they're wasting money!"

"Really... OK then." Shitou nodded reluctantly and handed over the bill for Lu Shiyuan and the others. Ekaterina looked at it carefully and said in surprise, "Ten boxes! Why is there so much Yebo Stone used for the Xian Dianyi?"

"I don't know." Shitou shrugged. "It's the customer's business how much he wants to buy. It has nothing to do with me. If he wants to buy more, how can we merchants not sell it?"

"Did you cook the books?" Ekaterina snapped.

"I don't know what you're talking about!" Shitou said with his hands spread out. "I sell jade and I never cheat anyone. What? Do you want to cause trouble? This is Liyue Harbor, and the Thousand Rock Army can be seen everywhere!"

Ekaterina glared at Shitou unhappily, then turned away angrily. Soon, she suppressed her anger, walked to a corner, and respectfully bowed to the young master who was waiting there, "My lord."

"What's the situation?" the young master asked calmly.

"I can't see anything on the account... but I always feel something is fishy. Maybe Lu Shiyuan bribed this jade merchant and cooked the accounts." Ekaterina reported the situation and her thoughts truthfully.

"Is that so..." After listening, the young master nodded and said, "Well, I'll go and try it myself."

Lu Shiyuan and others pushed the cart towards Yujingtai. Zhongli went to invite the jeweler, and Mona went to Wanmin Hall to buy food for everyone.

"Shi Yuan, are we really not going to be discovered like this?" Paimeng swallowed nervously, "If the young master comes to our house and opens the boxes to check them one by one, won't we be exposed?"

"You're right!" Lu Shiyuan nodded in agreement, "So, I have to quickly get rid of these nine boxes of fake goods. Wait for me, stand still and don't move."

"Handle it cleanly, brother." Lu Qianzhi was also afraid of being discovered. She didn't mind her brother cheating the Fatui of their money, but she was afraid that her brother would be exposed and caught by the Fatui.

"Don't worry!" Lu Shiyuan gave his sister a reassuring look and pushed the cart into the dark alley.

Everyone looked around nervously, fearing that a Fatui would suddenly pop out from their surroundings!

Fortunately, after a while, Lu Shiyuan came out pushing the cart.

But this made everyone even more nervous!
"This box is not missing!" Paimon exclaimed.

"Is there no place to deal with it?" Ying analyzed.

"It's been taken care of." Lu Shiyuan laughed, "There will definitely not be any loopholes!"

"What do you mean?" Paimeng wanted to ask again, but heard Lu Qianzhi said in a deep voice, "The young master appeared and is coming towards us!"

Everyone quickly shut their mouths and walked forward as if nothing had happened.

"Hey, guys, what a coincidence." The young man walked towards them, his face full of surprise at meeting good friends by chance.

His acting was so realistic that if Lu Qianzhi hadn't discovered it in advance and warned everyone, they might have really believed what he said.

"Yes, what a coincidence." Lu Shiyuan smiled and greeted the young master, "How come our executive officer has time to go shopping outside?"

"Just strolling around, just to relax." The young man smiled and got to the point, "Shi Yuan, why are you pushing so many big boxes?"

Hearing this, everyone became nervous.

"I just bought ten boxes of Night Stones." Lu Shiyuan laughed, "I will have to select them one by one later. I estimate that less than one in ten Night Stones are good enough. The rest will be thrown away."

"Throw it away..." The young master's mouth twitched, and he cursed in his heart, "Don't you feel bad about spending your own money?"

"Shi Yuan is really strict." The young master walked to the cart calmly on the surface, "Do you mind letting me see the Yebo Stone you bought?"

As he said this, he didn't even give anyone a chance to answer and opened the lid of one of the boxes!
