Chapter 45, the evidence is ironclad

Hearing this request, Yurou was slightly stunned and asked a little incredulously.

"That's it?"

Xue Jian nodded and replied with great certainty.

"That's it. ”

Yurou suddenly smiled dumbly and said.

"This condition is not difficult, in fact, even if Mr. Xue does not come up with this exercise, as long as you say it, we are very happy for you to become the honorary elder of our Chamber of Commerce. ”

Xue Jian showed an expression that I understood, and then said.

"Then you give me back the exercises. ”

"Huh?"

Yurou was immediately dumbfounded.

Xue Jian immediately burst out laughing.

"Just kidding, I personally gave you this exercise. ”

Yurou couldn't help but glance at him charmingly, and said with a coquettish smile.

"This gift is too big, Yurou is here to thank Mr. Xue, don't worry, I can help you with this matter within three days." ”

Xue Jian got up and hugged her fist.

"Then I'll wait for good news, don't bother, and take my leave. ”

After saying that, he was about to walk out, but at this time, Yurou hurriedly stood up, twisted her willow-like thin waist, and stepped forward.

"Mr. Xue, I have something to remind you. ”

Xue Jian turned around and saw that her expression seemed to be hesitant, so he asked.

"Something to do with me?"

Yurou bit her silver teeth, as if she had made up her mind, she closed the doors and windows first, and then whispered.

"Mr. Wan Qianjin Wan came to me just now, and when he talked about you, he planned to spend a lot of money to hire two elders from our Chamber of Commerce, saying that it was to protect his safety.

But in my opinion, Mr. Wan has a killer organization under him, and he should have ulterior motives wherever he needs to be protected. ”

Xue saw that his eyes were fixed and he groaned.

"Does he want to take revenge on me? probably not, I packed up a few little minions, and it's worth so much excitement there. ”

Yurou shook her head lightly and guessed.

"It shouldn't be, now the situation of the confrontation between the five princes and the three princes has been formed, and Mr. Wan belongs to the camp of the three princes, so ...... I guess he's going to deal with the Five Princes. ”

Xue Jian nodded, and also thought that this guess was more reliable.

His eyes suddenly turned to the face of the ripe peach-like woman in front of him, and he smiled.

"Thank you Miss Yurou for telling me, this matter should be out of order, I owe you a favor. ”

The two looked at each other, and Yurou felt that her cheeks were a little hot for some reason, and her heartbeat was chaotic.

She immediately lowered her eyebrows and said.

"Mr. Xue has talked to me about such a big business, what is this matter, but during this time, you ...... Be careful. ”

The atmosphere seemed to change suddenly, Xue Jian barely had a little resistance to this kind of mature stunner, but it was difficult to guarantee that he would not make mistakes, so he didn't dare to stay any longer, and with a polite word, he left immediately.

After he was gone for a long time, Yurou still stood in place, her cheeks were as red as peach blossoms, and her heart was as troubled as numb.

"Damn, how could it suddenly be messed up, could it be that you have been alone for too long and missed men?"

She stretched out a pair of jade hands and rubbed her hot cheeks, and whispered to herself.

Xue Jian didn't think much about it, left the branch of the Xiangma Chamber of Commerce, and went directly to the Yamen of the Household Department.

No one paid attention to his tardiness, and Lao Shangshu even smiled at him.

"Master Xue came early. ”

Xue Jian replied with a smile, "It's not early", and went directly to the lobby.

Seeing that Wu Qiancheng was busy with official business in his position, he walked over and asked in a low voice.

"Brother Wu, where is the tax account book of this household department?"

Wu Qiancheng got up and pointed to a locked attic building opposite the lobby and said.

"It's all in that building, if you want to check it, go to Master Shangshu to get the key. ”

Xue saw that he thanked him, and immediately ran to Lao Shangshu, and soaked it for a while before Lao Shangshu agreed to give him the key.

Originally, the position of the chief bookkeeper was to check the account books, but it will only be checked at the end of the quarter, and now there is still more than half a month before the end of the quarter.

It stands to reason that the treasury should not be opened, but Xue Jian's identity is special, and Lao Shangshu made an exception.

Xue saw that a person entered the warehouse, closed the door, and lit the oil lamps around him one by one.

Rows of bookshelves filled the room, and according to the Imperial City area, the ledgers of these bookshelves were also divided into sections.

Xue Jian first flipped through it casually, and then he found the tax account book of a petty official on the list that Chu Tianming gave him.

After this check, he saw that there was a problem, this person's basic tax payment was fine, but the records of other people in the family were all blank.

According to the records, there are 76 people in this petty official's family, and if he only pays taxes himself, it is impossible to support so many people.

If the family had other livelihoods to make money, then no one else's records could be blank.

If the master of the audit does not pay attention to this kind of omission, it is likely to ignore the past.

After all, at the end of each quarter, there are hundreds of thousands of ledgers to be checked, and the workload is scary, and the time is also urgent, so it is impossible to carefully investigate and verify every ledger.

It is for this reason that many people have been swept under the rug of taxes and bribes.

Xue Jian directly put this ledger into the space belt, and this thing is evidence.

Then according to the list given by Chu Tianming, he found out the account books of the people on the list one by one, and after checking it, almost without exception, they were suspected of tax evasion and accepting bribes.

He collected all these ledgers, and there were more than a hundred of them.

That night, after Xue Jian returned to the mansion of the fifth prince, he directly put all those account books in front of Chu Tianming.

When the old man saw the stacked ledger, which was more than one person high, he was immediately stunned for a moment and asked.

"These ...... How did you come up with it?"

Xue Jian smiled.

"Mountain people have their own tricks. ”

Chu Tianming frowned and said in a deep voice.

"Stealing the tax books of the imperial court is a felony. ”

"Then I'll give it back tomorrow. ”

Xue Jian was a little dumbfounded, and dared to be busy all day today.

These ledgers are placed in those hundreds of thousands of ledgers, like a grain of sand thrown into a bucket of water, thrown in, who can be careful enough to find out the sand again.

Chu Tianming flipped through a few books at random, and suddenly laughed.

"Problematic...... There's a problem, there's a problem with every account, hahaha...... , you kid really has some ability. ”

Xue Jian was stunned for a moment and asked.

"Don't put these ledgers back?"

"What else to put on, these are problematic ledgers, you have made a great contribution by finding them out, this time you are waiting for promotion. ”

Chu Tianming's face was full of joy.

The list he wrote before was the object of his suspicion, and there was no evidence, but now that he has these ledgers, it is ironclad evidence.

As long as these account books are handed over to the emperor, I believe that the vegetable market entrance of the imperial city will definitely be a person rolling down like a melon, and the blood will not stop.
