"Shopkeeper Liu, you really have a good debt to settle." Su Zixuan threw the account book in front of Liu Xian, his tone full of ridicule.

"Eldest Miss has wronged me, I didn't do anything."

Liu Xian panicked to the point that he almost couldn't stand up, but on the surface, he was still holding back. He still had the energy to argue.

"Damn it, you actually have the face to say that. Do you really need me to say it out loud one by one to admit it?"

"" Su Zixuan said in a deep voice. Look at what this is. " Su Zixuan threw another book in front of Liu Xian.

Liu Xian looked at the booklet on the ground, panicked, and repeatedly said, "I was distracted for a moment, so I did such a heinous thing. Miss has a lot of things, please spare my life and my family.

Liu Xian was frightened to the point that his tears flowed uncontrollably. This caused Su Zixuan to be slightly stunned, and why did this' treason 'have to be so outrageous?

But her face didn't show it. She followed Liu Xian's words and said, "Since you know that it's against the law, you obviously did it on purpose."

"I wasn't afraid when I was doing it, but now that I've been discovered, I know I am." Su Zixuan's face revealed a mocking expression. The ice-cold look in his eyes made Liu Xian tremble with fear.

"Little people... This is my first time doing this, it's really my first time, I hope Miss can spare my life on account of my hard work all these years. "Liu Xian wiped away his tears, revealing a mournful look," This little one has an old and a young one, my whole family has dozens of families, how can I lose my life just like that.

As she spoke, she couldn't help but burst into tears. This was the first time Su Zixuan had seen a grown man cry like this.

Su Zixuan signaled Su Mao to help him up, but he saw that Liu Xian refused to let him go and was still immersed in his grief, crying nonstop.

This was also the first time Su Zixuan had encountered such a situation. She told Su Mao not to interfere, and planned to wait for Liu Xian to finish crying before continuing to question him.

After a long time, Liu Xian's crying throat was somewhat dry. Only then did he slowly stop.

The moment he stopped, he noticed that a few pairs of eyes in the hall were staring at him. A man who was crying so hard that he choked up was begging towards Su Zixuan.

However, with their lives on the line, who would care so much?

At this time, Su Mao finally found an opportunity to properly grab Liu Xian and stop him from crying.

He once again pushed the slightly smaller booklet on the ground into Liu Xian's hand. With a trace of contempt and reminder, he said, "Take a careful look."

Liu Xian was somewhat helpless. He didn't know what this meant, but he still resigned himself to his fate and flipped to the last page. He didn't know what to do after seeing that the few lines of words were still there.

Su Zixuan was almost amused by Liu Xian's foolish expression, but she still held it in.

He lowered his voice and said, "Tell me everything you've done. Also, what do these lines of accounts mean?"

Liu Xian was, after all, the shopkeeper, so he had some experience. If this fact wasn't considered a major crime for raiding the family, he wouldn't have been scared to such an extent.

Hearing Su Zixuan's words, he naturally immediately realized that he'd been cheated, but when he thought about how he'd been too obvious just now, he couldn't help but want to slap himself a few times.

But since he didn't say anything about it and the young miss in front of him didn't have any evidence, Liu Xian felt somewhat relieved. No matter how Su Mao tried to push him, he didn't say anything.

Su Zixuan's face broke into a cold smile as she watched his fearless and broken appearance.

"Do you really think I can't do anything to you? Yes, I do not have any evidence, but if I were to report it to the officials, I would personally report it to the county governor of Yuzhang County.

Su Zixuan looked at Liu Xian and gave a cold snort. Then, he said, "Take a look and see if you can still protect the dozens of Liu Family members."

Liu Xian opened his eyes wide, as if he hadn't expected Su Zixuan to think of private salt, but at the same time, he was also shocked that Su Zixuan would directly report him to an official for punishment.

If he were to report it to the government, there would be nothing left.

At the side, Su Mao was also very shocked. He wasn't shocked by anything else, he just felt that Liu Xian, who was as timid as a mouse, would dare to sell his salt?

But that was the truth.

Liu Xian cried again. He really couldn't hold back. He lowered his head and mumbled, "This is my first time. I was discovered by you before I even started." As he spoke, he wiped away his tears as if he felt wronged and said,

"It's just that my Liu family's people are indeed innocent, and they don't even know about this. I don't ask Miss to bypass me, I only ask that you let my Liu family's dozens of people go. They are indeed very innocent."

Su Mao was still suspicious of the authenticity of Liu Xian selling salt. Even if Liu Xian admitted it himself, he would still be skeptical.

There was no other reason, it was just that he was too stupid and too timid.

It was also interesting. A salt shop's shopkeeper who had been in this business for more than ten years could not remember that if he sold less, he would be able to save his life, much less bring disaster upon his family.

If he wasn't as timid as a mouse, how could he have forgotten about this?

He was also really stupid, or else why couldn't he tell at all that the Miss was trying to scare him.
