Ye Chi's hand was grasped by her, and the touch was delicate and soft. Although it was for bandaging, after all, she was a beautiful girl of twenty-eight years old, and he still felt a little uncomfortable, so he avoided her gaze uncomfortably, and smiled: "Isn't it strange?"

Kaoru Tantai nodded heavily, and gestured with his hand about half an inch in length, "Such a small wound is not very deep, and ordinary people start to scar in one day." Y- why are you still bleeding?"

Ye Chi smiled nonchalantly: "It doesn't matter, it will be fine in a few days." ”

During this period of time together, no matter what happened, he always looked like "it will be fine in two days", so that the rhythm of the entire yamen was slowed down by him.

What if someone fights? It will be fine in two days, what if the expenses are too large? It will be fine in two days, what should I do if the family relationship is not harmonious? It will be fine in two days...... I have to say that under this influence, something is wrong with the entire Qinzhou, and even the gangsters have begun to talk peacefully.

Kaoru Tantai bowed his head to bandage him and admonished, "Go see the doctor." ”

Ye Chi smiled like a spring breeze: "After reading it, the doctor said that I was not cured." ”

His appearance was handsome and elegant, and his smile was bright and kind, but he didn't expect to be able to say such a sentence so calmly.

“……”

It's simply incomprehensible.

Master Zheng on the side saw that the atmosphere was really good, and he couldn't bear to interrupt, so he tiptoed out. Kaoru got up and moved a stool to the bookshelf, and began to read the roster carefully, but found no useful clues, and when she looked up, she found that Ye Chi was also looking at her.

"Yes...... Can you show me?"

She remembered the gambling contract, and hesitated for a moment, but she still calmly handed over the booklet, and Ye Chi finished it all in just a few moments.

So fast.

He was almost glancing, flipping through the book a little surprisingly fast. He then closed the booklet and handed it back to her.

"Thank you. ”

With that, Hachichi got up and walked out of the house, and Kaoru was not sure what he could see at that speed, but just followed him.

The destination of the two of them was the firm, and Steward Guo saw him spend five hundred taels of silver to rent a room last time, thinking that this time he was throwing money again, but who knew that he just wanted the roster of the firm, so he hesitated a little.

Kaoru Yutai said without changing his face: "Although we don't have the right to see the details of your transactions, the roster is under the jurisdiction of the government. ”

Indeed, although the transaction is not under their control, the officials in the trading house are only magistrates in the final analysis, and in front of Ye Chi, things like the roster cannot be hidden. Several officials looked at each other for a while, not understanding what the state pastor wanted to do, but they still brought the roster.

Ye Chi never spoke, and began to flip through again at that alarming speed, everyone looked at him quietly, the sound of "whooshing" was a little impatient, and Kaoru Tantai stared at him flipping through the book, unsure of what he thought.

The silence in the room was a little terrifying, and suddenly someone strode in, and when he turned his head, he realized that it was Yuan Ziling, and he looked surprised when he saw the two, but as if he had expected it, he stood behind Kaoru Yutai with great interest.

"Kaoru, don't you think I do?"

Kaoru Tandai ignored him.

After a while, Ye Chi finished the thick register, handed it back unhurriedly, and slowly spoke: "Lord Guo, the government has a register that records the employees of the firm two years ago, and all the people who were removed are no longer in the household registration of Qinzhou, do you know why?"

Steward Guo was stunned for a moment when he heard this, shook his head and said: "The number of officials in the commercial bank is fixed, and there are new ones who will naturally come and old ones will leave, what's wrong?"

"There's really nothing wrong with that. Ye Chi spread his hands and said, "But after these people don't work in the firm, they even move their household registration, don't you think it's a little strange?"

Steward Guo closed his eyes and clipped the roster in his hand, "The situation in Qinzhou is also known to adults, a large number of people move out every year, I don't know what Lord Ye means......"

"All the former officials in the trading house are no longer in Qinzhou, if it is a coincidence, it is a bit too much?" Ye Chi looked at him steadily, "I have seen the household register, and all the departing officials who appeared on your roster have left." ”

Hearing this, not only Guo Guanshi, but even Tai Xun was stunned.

He didn't bring the household registration information with him for comparison—or maybe it was impossible. The household registration information on the official side occupies at least an entire bookshelf, let alone write them all down, even if she is asked to find them, it will take at least a day.

Steward Guo obviously felt that this sentence was a little ridiculous, his face darkened, and he clamped the roster in his hand tighter, Wen Yechi continued: "If you don't believe it, you can let me bring the roster back to the Yamen, so that it will be clear at a glance." ”

It turned out to be a bluff...... How can a normal person remember all the household registrations of a city?

Although he said so, Steward Guo never meant to hand over the roster, and the little officials around him were also evasive. At this moment, there was a sudden knock at the door, and a man was walking briskly. Su Yu held several dossiers, with a few people behind him, and laughed loudly: "Master Guo, I have already shown him everything, why don't you want to take it out again?"

Steward Guo glanced up at him and did not speak. Ye Chi asked, "Found it?"

"Not bad. Su Yu nodded and looked at Manager Guo, "These people who have left are no longer in Qinzhou, it is too difficult to find, and only two can be found within three days." But what's interesting is that they refused to say it at first, and after coercion, they all said that you gave them money to let them go, and the time happened to be when someone sold the land through the Guò firm. ”

As if he had expected it, Ye Chi silently took the file in his hand and said: "Before, I also thought that there were foreign fine works mixed into the trading houses, after all, this often happens in the capital; ”

Hearing this, Steward Guo's face darkened a little, and he forced himself to calm down: "These are just rumors, we are in charge of transactions and taxes, and the behavior of officials is regulated by the law, and there will be no details." ”

"It's true that there's nothing detailed. Ye Chi nodded, his gaze was still gentle, but there was no doubt, "Because you are trading with the buyer." ”

Kaoru Tantai was a little stunned. The situation was the same two years ago, when no one found the stock of the fine work, and it was not until the two buyers announced the price that the government realized that there was a problem with the transaction. It stands to reason that the firm should have known best as an intermediary, but it was only later found out that a small contractor had been identified, and as for how it was found, it was not specifically reported to them.

The development of Qinzhou is still in its infancy, which is completely different from the situation in the capital, and even if there are some discordant places, it will be interpreted as the characteristics of a small city. However, what she had always felt was not right was hidden in it.

Ye Chi turned his head to look at Yutai Kaoru, and finally his gaze fell on Yuan Ziling, his dark eyes were as plain as water, but they were calm and sharp: "The business house was not originally from the imperial court, and it was because there would be businessmen seeking personal gain that there would be decrees." You don't have a lot of money, so you found some old customers who won't leak, and joined forces to buy the land at a low price to earn the difference, and I think the Yuan family is also one of them. As for these removed people, they are probably people you can't trust, and it is possible to leak the news. ”

After that, he looked at the roster in Steward Guo's hand again, and the other party knew that he couldn't dodge, so he simply pretended to slip his hand and threw the thick booklet to the stove, and the corner of the page instantly turned black in the firelight.

Yutai Kaoru was shocked, and was about to reach out to get the roster back, but was stopped by Ye Chi, shook her head to signal that she didn't have to worry, and said in a low voice: "I remember everything." ”

How can you remember all of such a thick booklet, just a cursory flip?

Xu Shi saw the confusion in her eyes, Ye Chi smiled and said: "The trading house in Qinzhou was established twenty-two years ago, the first page records the number of people in that year, a total of thirteen stewards and ordinary officials, and the third page is the list of the second year, a total of sixteen people, the names are ......"

He said a long list in a row, word for word as it was recorded on the roster. Not only was Guo in charge, but even those little officials listened with straight eyes. It turned out to be really...... Write it all down?!

What the hell is in his head?

Kaoru Tai's eyes widened in disbelief, and Su Yu smiled when he heard it: "Don't you know? When Ye Chi was in the Guozijian back then, he memorized all the books in a year. ”

“…… How?"

Su Yu spread his hands, indicating that he didn't know.

She used to think he was just a nerd, but now she seems ...... Or a nerd with a peculiar brain?

Looking at the roster that gradually turned into ashes in the furnace, as well as the pale faces of Steward Guo and the others, a smile appeared on the corner of Yuan Ziling's mouth.

The revelation of the business house was something he had long expected, and if Ye Chi could arrest all these people, then the Yuan family, as the leader, would be the only one. Moreover, with the situation in Qinzhou, he was eighty percent sure that the imperial court would not send people to come again in a short period of time. Rather than seizing a gambling house in a flash, being able to replace a trading house is the most profitable means.

"Actually, it's okay if you don't burn it, I'm not going to bring you to justice. Ye Chi suddenly spoke, causing everyone to be stunned.

came all the way to expose the evil deeds of the trading house, and the result was ...... Not to arrest them?!

Kaoru Tantai couldn't understand what he was thinking, and stepped forward and asked, "Idiot, what are you talking about?"

"I'm not a nerd, I'm your boss. He suddenly helped his forehead, "If they are all arrested, the imperial court will not send people to come in a short time, and then the merchant house will be reduced to private ownership due to the influence of the gang, and the loss of the people will be even greater." ”

"......" Yuan Ziling frowned, and finally spoke, "What do you mean...... Do you want to keep this group?"

Ye Chi stared at him fixedly for a moment and nodded: "Not bad." ”

It's crazy. really relies on the fact that this is Qinzhou, and even those who violate the regulations of the commercial bank are not arrested, and his analysis of the situation is not bad with him at all.

Steward Guo's heart was lifted to the sky and fell to the ground, and before he could relax for a while, he was led down by the people brought by Su Yu. Ye Chi turned his head and didn't see the figure of Kaoru Yutai, and was about to get up and leave, but saw her suddenly run in, and took a complete set of seventy-two wooden cards from nowhere, and put them all on the table.

"Nerd, let's give it a try. Her eyes were no longer as calm as water, flashing with curiosity and suspicion, as if her little face was slightly red because she was running too quickly, but it was more in line with her current age, arranging the wooden cards one by one, and then turning away and letting Ye Chi memorize the contents of the wooden cards.

But the time she gave was extremely short.

Almost for a moment, Kaoru turned back all the wooden cards on the table, stared at his eyes for a moment, and raised his hand to the wooden cards with the same back.

"What is this?" she said, even with some excitement in her voice.

Ye Chi didn't understand why she was suddenly so interested, and replied, "Plum blossoms." ”

When I turned it over, it was a plum blossom.

"And what about here?"

"The word 'auspicious'. ”

Again, it was exactly the same as he said.

……

Kaoru Tantai suppressed the surprise in her heart and tried almost all the wooden cards, but Ye Chi could answer them every time. In that short period of time, he did write down all the cards. Seventy-two pieces, not bad.

This is not something that ordinary people can do.

"What the hell are you ......," she said incredulously, "how did you write it down?"

Ye Chi looked at her, hesitated for a moment, and a slightly helpless smile appeared on Junya's face, "Because...... I'm sick. ”
