"How can this work," Tian Shaojing shouted, "Father, don't you know that the household financial books are reported to the emperor every month, and the queen mother must be able to see it." Could it be that Zhong Lao'er still dares to make a fake in the reported account books!"

Without waiting for Tian Shaojing to finish calling, Tian Heng was speechless and held his forehead with his hand.

I was embarrassed, how could he raise such a stupid son!

Look at the next generation of their Tian family, what kind of stupidity they have become, do they really want to follow in the footsteps of the Wang family.

In this way, does the Tian family still have a future?!

What a painful realization, he didn't dare to think about it!

"It's not a monthly account book. After a long time, Tian Heng sighed helplessly.

"What is that?" Tian Shaojing looked puzzled.

Tian Heng shook his head again and again: "The budget report that is not passed on by the household department." ”

"Didn't you report it to the emperor and the queen mother?"

Tian Heng sighed again and explained casually: "The budget statements submitted by the household department every quarter are all obtained from the figures reported by various departments, and these figures are all on the surface and are easy to obtain. However, within the household department, there is still its own independent budget for national government expenditures. The numbers are intricately obtained, where they come from, whether they are true or not, and how they are recorded and calculated, all depend on the ability of the household department. This is the work of the household department itself, and the court did not ask for it, so there is no need to report it. ”

Tian Shaojing was stunned when he heard this, and there was something like this: "What's wrong with this budget?"

"This set of budgets independent by the household department has been done very carefully in recent years under the auspices of Tan Jilun, the left waiter. I don't know where he got those numbers, but as far as I know, every number has a great origin. The results are also quite impressive. Hehe," Tian Heng stood up and sneered, "Now, let the Queen Mother look at those promising data, that is, let the Queen Mother understand that no matter how much silver she gives Zhong Lao'er, even if she loses all the revenue from Jianghe's operation, she will not be able to fill the hole in the household department." ”

Tian Shaojing was stunned, thought about it for a while, and finally understood: "Yes, yes, the Queen Mother came to Old Man Zhong thinking that she could help her, but in fact, she just brought in a wolf with a bigger appetite." Hahaha, okay, I want to see how her old man can deal with this wolf. ”

A dimly lit hut with candlelight two paces away.

Xu Xing's small eyes are unusually bright in the dim and unknown room.

"As the adults expected, after Chen San saw the new account book sent by his subordinates, he knew that the matter had failed, and then he gave the account book of Heyun to Tian Wulang as soon as possible. ”

"The other one hasn't moved?"

Xu Xing's eyes flashed slightly: "I didn't move." didn't even say a word to the adults of his family, this Chen San can really bear it, and he is not afraid of others stabbing his old man's knife in the back. ”

Yin Xuezheng was hiding in the shadows as always, his eyes slightly closed, and the candlelight that was almost invisible on his back, like a stream that had sunk into the abyss, without a trace of light.

"He's a cold-hearted man. ”

"Yes, the heart is cold. Xu Xing smiled, waited for a while and didn't see any response from his family, and then continued: "Then we followed the instructions of the adults, and secretly let him hear that Imperial Doctor Huang had also received such an account book. Haha, as soon as he heard the news, he couldn't sit still. Early yesterday morning, when the adults had just returned from the palace, he heard that Huang Ming had entered the palace, and Zhong Xuanchong was then summoned into the palace by the Queen Mother. Immediately, he hurried home and went to find his father. ”

"Well, that's good. After a long while, Yin Xuezheng replied softly, "You are staring at people, you don't have to do anything when you go down, just watch." Tian Heng is not a fuel-efficient lamp, the more he and the Queen Mother fight, the more fun this play will be, don't let us interfere. ”

"Where is the Chen family?" asked Xu Xing.

"Just stare at it, no more movement. ”

"No more movement?"

"Yes. "An irrefutable order.

"We're just watching?" asked Xu Xing in disbelief.

Yin Xuezheng nodded.

Xu Xing was still unwilling: "But ......"

"The affairs of the Chen family are not fun now," Yin Xuezheng said thoughtfully, "Let the following matters be handled by Old Man Chen himself, how his wife and son love to cause trouble, they will go, we can't take care of it." ”

It's already very worthy of Old Man Chen if he doesn't light the fire behind his back, as long as the third son of his family is still lying on the bed, he can live up to people's expectations and take the head of the Tian family Goro, hehe, what do you need them to do?

"But Yang Qi ...... there," Xu Xing asked without giving up.

"What's wrong with her?" Yin Xue's face changed, and he said hurriedly.

Xu Xing was given a measure by Yin Xuezheng for a while, and involuntarily took a step back, looking at his family carefully, but he didn't see anything wrong, before replying, "It's nothing, isn't she under house arrest." I didn't do anything for the past two days, and I stayed quietly in my room reading a book, just like a lady of the family. Well, that's why I just think something is not normal. ”

"This is not normal," Yin Xuezheng raised his eyebrows, "How long has it been since you got to know Yang Qi?"

"She's a Jianghu person now, although she is also from everyone's background, from before we came into contact with her, I never thought she was a big lady, and now she suddenly became like this, my lord, she is like this now, and there is no girl around her. ”

"Yes," Yin Xuezheng tilted his head and thought for a while, "If there is a lack of a girl, then you can arrange one for her." ”

"What?" Xu Xing thought he had misheard.

"Well, be honest and don't scare her. ”

"My lord?" Xu Xing was directly stunned on the spot.

"What to do, go ahead and arrange it. "Unmistakable voice.

"Ann-what are you arranged?" Xu Xing was dumbfounded.

"Call the girl. "Very calm voice.

"My lord......" Xu Xing was so shocked that he barely reached out to catch the falling chin.

"Go. ”

"Adult ......"

Yin Xuezheng retracted his gaze and no longer paid attention to this already frightened subordinate.

Small courtyard, a tree of begonias.

The flowers are half-falling, and the fruits are not yet bearing.

Liu Shuangli sat in front of the chair by the window in the east wing, and when he looked up and looked sideways, he could see the pink and white petals falling in the wind.

However, at this time, Liu Shuangli raised his eyes to look at the side of the room, a little girl standing tremblingly in front of the table.

"What's your name?" asked Liu Shuangli as softly as he could.

"Shen Lan'er. ”

The girl looked like she was only in her early tens, with her horns combed, her head had been lowered since she entered the room, and her eyes were completely lowered from beginning to end.

"How old are you?"

"Next month will be twelve. ”

"Twelve, it's not small. Liu Shuangli chuckled.

The girl's head hung lower.

Liu Shuangli shook his head helplessly again.

It has been three days since Yin Xuezheng entered the palace to meet the saint, except that when he came back that day, he beckoned her to look at her meaningfully, and casually asked a few innocuous words. Three days passed, and she was never questioned again.

He ignored it, and Liu Shuangli didn't ask, just stayed in the house and read her book.

There were no more people like Shi Lang to take care of her, and she had a very leisurely life in the past three days.

Early this morning, Xu Xing suddenly visited her deserted courtyard and brought such a little girl, saying that she had arranged to serve her.

If she had arranged for a clever and clever one, she would have been sent to spy on her. However, what is this person in front of him, who seems to be too timid and afraid at first glance?

But not everyone has the acting skills of the eldest young master of the Shi family.

And to come to her to play this play again, it would be too much trouble, there was no need for that.

"Where are you doing things?" Liu Shuangli continued.

The girl clasped the corners of her clothes with her hands, and her voice was almost inaudible: "My father is the vigil at the west gate in the back corner." ”

"What about you?"

"I ......," the girl said, with trembling hands, "I haven't done anything." ”

Liu Shuangli rubbed his head.

This is the Yamen of Fusi in Longxingwei Town, and the front yard is a place for office work and storage of official documents, and there are special guards on patrol. The backyard house is used for the temporary rest of the people on duty, and there are also some Long Xingwei who have no family or have not yet purchased a property in Beijing.

There are two corner gates in the backyard, which are unguarded during the day, and only when the bolt falls at night will someone come to watch the door and keep vigil, which is specially used for people who have urgent business at night and cannot go to the front yard to enter and exit temporarily. According to the regulations, the two corner doors in the backyard are recorded every time they open and bolt at night, so the night watchman who asks for it may be necessary to be able to read and write.

The vigil at the two corner gates of the backyard was not Long Xingwei's people, nor did he sell himself to Long Xingwei, and the monthly rules he received were not from the court, but Long Xingwei's own private account. They don't have any special origins and identities, they are just the most ordinary aborigines in the capital, and they are just ordinary people who have been traced for the last five generations.

Look at the girl's current behavior, not only did she not receive the corresponding training before she came here, but no one even mentioned it to her.

Liu Shuangli sighed, such an ordinary girl, if she wants to call her, she really doesn't know how to summon her.

She is not from everyone's background, and she has never called anyone since she was a child. It was the year when she lived in the Jin family on the outskirts of Beijing two years ago, and Han San arranged to take care of her girl, but she didn't stay by her side.

With her background, it is really difficult for her to get used to calling people.

She's more comfortable being called.

"Lan'er. Liu Shuangli called lightly.

The girl immediately bowed down and replied, "Miss." ”

Liu Shuangli waved his hand, signaling the girl to relax.

"Did Lord Xu tell you anything before you came?"

"My lord, my lord wants me to serve a good young lady. ”

"How?"

"Big—my lord didn't say it. ”

......

Liu Shuangli smiled speechlessly and bitterly.

"Okay," Liu Shuangli sighed, "even if you're here to serve me, did Lord Xu tell me about your food?"

The girl was stunned again, and it took a long time before she replied in a daze: "Great, the adult didn't say anything." ”

I didn't say anything about food, I didn't say anything about clothes, so what about the monthly case?

Liu Shuangli sighed, which means that she will be responsible for all problems such as food, clothing, housing and transportation of this girl in the future.

Is this a gift to serve her, or is it a child to be taken care of?

Is her Liu Shuangli just taking care of the child's life?

I've just been idle for half a year, and another one?

Well, if it was really God's arrangement, she would admit it.

Anyway, the one in front of you is bigger than the previous two, well, it should be much easier to take care of.

It's good to live, there are not many other courtyards, but there are many empty houses, even if there are ten or eight more people, there is no problem.

Wear it, the girl will solve it herself. If it really doesn't work, she still has some spare money, and it is more than enough to help the girl make a few sets of clothes.

As for food, just eat with her.

Otherwise, she doesn't care if there is anyone to serve her anyway, and judging by this girl's appearance, there shouldn't be any major problems.

Liu Shuangli sighed lightly, that is, if you come, you will be safe.

Thinking of this, Liu Shuangli smiled again, took the girl's hand and patted it: "Okay, let's talk about it later, it's not early, you're hungry, let's go eat something." ”

The girl was stunned for a moment, and replied cowardly: "Lan'er is not hungry." ”

Liu Shuangli stood up with a chuckle, didn't say much, and pulled the girl who was still in a daze and walked out of the house directly.
