Chapter 45: The ledger is here

There was a crackling sound in Wang Xiancheng's yard, occasionally mixed with a few women's scolding and men's weak excuses.

Gu Qian stood on the steps of the backyard, listening to the sound of the courtyard in front of him, with a pleasant smile on his face.

"Master, why are you standing here?" Gu Xiaojiu came in from the corner door and saw him standing alone on the steps, and said with some confusion.

"Nothing. Gu Qian waved his hand and asked, "Is there any news from Zhang Ergou?"

At the mention of this, Gu Xiaojiu smiled, he took a few steps, came to the bottom of the steps, and whispered, "It's done." ”

As soon as the words fell, I heard that the mother-in-law of the Ma master book also made a commotion, and it turned out that the mother-in-law of the horse master book found a peach-colored belly pocket in the study of the horse master book, this personal item was much more hurtful than the wooden barrel at the door, and the mother-in-law of the horse master book was not polite, and picked up the belly pocket and took the maid and ran to the tofu stall at the city gate.

Ma Zhushu was so noisy that she hid in the teahouse, and she didn't know that her mother-in-law was so fierce that she was going to find trouble with her concubine, and as soon as his mother-in-law went out, the Wang County Cheng family also got a revelation, called the master and ran to Liuye Hutong, and dared to put the post of the comb kiln sister down to the gate of her house, really when she Wang Qian is a dead person!

Wang Xiancheng couldn't stop it, and watched his tigress go to Liuye Hutong to kick the hall, although he knew that this was disgraceful, but Wang Xiancheng had a hint of joy in his heart, anyway, what he really cared about was not the Feng family sisters, if he could stir up the concubine in the Ma master's book, wouldn't it be his mind?

It was obviously a plan to pull Gu Qian into the water, but before he knew it, things had changed and turned into a duel between Ma Liu's, Wang Qian's and Wang Xishi's and Feng's sisters.

Qingjiang County has not been so lively for a long time since the Tianlei splitting case, seeing Mrs. Ma and Mrs. Wang rushing out of the house one after another, one ran to the city gate, the other ran to the Liuye Hutong, everyone on the street was in a hurry, the excitement at the city gate also wanted to watch, and the live broadcast of the Liuye Hutong did not want to give up, how is this good?

Seeing the two ladies running away with the maidservant thugs, the tangled people didn't dare to delay more, those who liked Wang Xishi chased to the city gate, and the Feng sisters ran to Liuye Hutong, and the tearing battle between the lady of the main room and the goblin was about to start, and if you don't chase it, you won't be able to catch up!

For a while, Qingjiang County was very lively, and the master of the horse who got the letter followed the crowd to the city gate, Wang Xiancheng thought about Qinggao, but seeing that his wife called Liu Sandu, Wang Xiancheng felt that this matter was a bit big, and hurriedly called the chief to pull people back.

People hula ran away, caught rapists, watched the excitement, and Gu Qian's backyard became a rare quiet place.

"Wen Rui, drink tea. Gu Qian held the teacup in one hand and pinched the lid in the other, casually skimming the foam. He was already born well, but at this moment the sun shone into the window lattice and hit his face, as if it was plated with a layer of golden light. Thinking of the favor this man gave him, Duan Wenrui's cold face showed a trace of warmth: "Lord Xie." ”

Gu Qian had something hidden in his heart, Duan Wenrui was not a person who talked much, the two of them sat quietly in the room, and there was no communication. But after a while, the calm situation was broken, and Gu Xiaojiu hurriedly walked in, "Master Qiqi, everyone is gone." ”

"Are you sure?" Gu Qian raised his eyebrows.

"I've been around the yard several times, making sure no one sees. ”

"Where's the daughter of the Cheng family in Wang County?"

"I went to go and my relatives haven't come back yet. ”

Gu Qian nodded, put down the teacup, and said to Duan Wenrui: "You go, be careful not to reveal your hide." ”

Duan Wenrui bowed his head and led the order to leave, Gu Qian looked at his striding meteor's back, and said to Gu Xiaojiu: "Call Gu An, go and give you four masters a lookout." ”

Because of this tearing war that has not been encountered for decades, the Qingjiang County Government is almost empty.

However, even if there were many people running out, Wang Xiancheng didn't dare to be careless, and still left two old family members to guard the door, there were not many valuable things in his house, but there were still two things that were regarded as life, especially Gu Qian was also in the county office, how could he be completely at ease?

Gu Xiaojiu was talking to the two old family members in front, Duan Wenrui came to the root of the wall, raised his hand to test the height of the wall, picked up his hand, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Old Wu, who ran out because of his urgency, saw the corners of his clothes flying over, and thought that he was dazzled, and just wanted to shout that there was a thief, but he heard the conversation and laughter of Gu Xiaojiu and the two old men of the Wang family in front of him.

Although he didn't know what kind of medicine Gu Xiaojiu was selling in his gourd, the disagreement between the eldest master and the second master could be seen by anyone with a discerning eye, and he didn't want to be confused and be dragged into some conspiracy and calculation.

Thinking of this, Lao Wu Tou hurriedly unbuttoned his trouser waist and soaked urine on the big willow tree in the corner, and then tiptoed back to the house and shrunk back.

Gu Xiaojiu and Duan Wenrui didn't notice that there were witnesses in this operation, but even if there were, they didn't care, Duan Wenrui felt that Gu Qian's attitude towards the account book was simply grinding, since he knew that the account book was in the hands of the surnamed Wang, then he used thunderbolt means, covered the sack and beat him, I don't believe that the old boy didn't take it out obediently.

However, after all, he was reckless, Gu Qian heard his advice, and he smiled and revealed it, but after hearing that Wang Xiancheng invited a guest, he let Gu Tai secretly arrange it. This tearing war can make such a big fuss, and Gu Tai's promoter is simply indispensable.

Duan Wenrui recalled Gu Qian's instructions and entered the bedroom of the Wang couple. According to the insider's reply, the valuable things of the Wang County Cheng family are locked in Mrs. Wang's kang cabinet, and the Wang family has gone through a prison disaster and does not have much money in their hands, so Mrs. Wang has taken all the valuable things in the family into her own hands.

Looking at the locked kang cabinet, Duan Wenrui did not hesitate, he took out a copper wire, and poked it a few times at the keyhole, up and down, left and right, this craft was learned with Zhang Ergou, and stealing the account book was Gu Qian's internal plan, so it was naturally not good for Zhang Ergou, an outsider, to interfere, so Duan Wenrui froze Zhang Ergou with an iceberg face for two days, and learned some superficial skills and entered Wang Xiancheng's house.

Fortunately, Mrs. Wang's lock was not complicated, and after Duan Wenrui tried it a few times, he smoothly pried open the kang cabinet. The upper layer of the kang cabinet is clothes, lift the clothes, and put a box underneath, Duan Wenrui carefully flipped through it, and did not find any account books, the boxes are large and small, he found a box that looked like it could hold the account book, and tentatively poked it open with copper wire.

No, no, still no, seeing the time pass minute by minute, Duan Wenrui couldn't help but feel a little anxious, but after rummaging through the kang cabinet, there was still nothing he was looking for, could it be that there was such a big battle outside, and in the end, the plan would be folded in his own hands?

Duan Wenrui put the box back and closed the lid of the cabinet, and just when he lost his patience, an unexpected discovery made him stop. The lid of the kang cabinet was unexpectedly light, and Duan Wenrui lifted it back and forth, making sure that his hand was not wrong.

He fumbled around the edge of the lid and finally found a mezzanine in the corner of the lid. Lifting the wooden board at the corner of the cover, Duan Wenrui's fingers tentatively touched it inside, and the sky lived up to his painstaking efforts, and finally let him touch a stack of paper objects.

When I took it out, it was an account book.

Duan Wenrui was overjoyed in his heart, and opened it to take a look, but saw that it recorded all kinds of gift money expenses for the superior yamen, and turned to the back, and also recorded in detail the various taboos of the bosses, it seems that this is the internal account of the stalk in Gu Qian's heart.

After confirming the real ledger in his hand, Duan Wenrui hooked the corners of his mouth, he didn't rush to put the ledger away, but took out an old ledger from his arms and stuffed it back along the gap in the mezzanine. Duan Wenrui put away the real ledger, put the wooden board of the mezzanine back in place, closed the lid, locked the cabinet door, and the package drop was completed.

He walked out with a heart full of joy, and before he could reach the wall, he heard someone outside ask, "Miss Ceraun, why are you back?"

"Miss sent me back to get something, what's wrong today? There is not even a person in the courtyard?" A sharp voice came, Duan Wenrui didn't care about anything else, and took three steps and two steps to the courtyard wall, and a harrier turned over and walked out of Wang Xiancheng's small courtyard.

At the same time, a girl named Cui Hong also walked into the courtyard gate.

"Got it?" Seeing that Duan Wenrui's face rarely brought a smile, Gu Qian's heart also brightened, it seems that this historian really has two hits, and even Wang Xiancheng's account book can be stolen out unknowingly.

"Your Excellency, please take a look. Duan Wenrui took out the account book from his arms and respectfully sent it to Gu Qian.

Gu Qian smiled at him and said, "I believe in you. As he spoke, he said to Gu Tai, who was waiting on the side: "Zihe, you and Gu An will prepare gifts according to this account, and Wen Rui and I will go out for a walk." ”

"Yes. Gu Tai stepped forward, held the account book with both hands, and smiled gratefully at Duan Wenrui, "It's hard work for the fourth master this time." ”

"It's all arranged by adults," Duan Wenrui said modestly: "Wenrui just did his duty." ”

His modest attitude got Gu Tai's more friendly smile, and Gu Qian saw that the two of them were polite, so he shouted, "Wen Rui, let's go." ”

Duan Wenrui followed behind Gu Qian, accompanied by Gu Xiaojiu out of the corner gate, and few people looked at them when they walked on the street, everyone ran to Wang Xishi's tofu stall or Liuye Hutong to see the excitement. With a smile on his face, Gu Qian went out of the West Gate accompanied by Gu Xiaojiu and Duan Wenrui, got on a few horses that had been prepared outside the city a long time ago, and walked around to the East City.

Before he entered the city gate, he saw the soldiers guarding the outside craned their necks and looked inside.

"If you don't keep watch well, what are you doing with your probe?" Gu Xiaojiu sat on the horse, and said mightily.

The soldier came back to his senses, and was about to scold this kid who didn't know what to do, and when he saw Xiao Jiu sitting on the horse clearly, his face was full of anger and immediately turned into a flattering smile, "It turned out to be the ninth master, when did you go out of the city?"

"I still need to report to you when I go out of the city?" Gu Xiaojiu raised his chin proudly and said, "What are you doing in this hustle and bustle?"

An ambiguous smile appeared on the soldier's face, and he was about to gossip, but suddenly saw the eldest lord and the fourth master of the county sitting on the two horses behind Xiao Jiu. ”

"Get up, what's going on ahead?" Gu Qian said lightly.

"This ......" The soldier was a little embarrassed, and whispered: "I don't know what I do." ”

"Oh?" Gu Qian raised his eyebrows, and didn't embarrass him, but said to Gu Xiaojiu: "Let's go, let's go in and have a look." ”

There were people in front, Gu Xiaojiu was afraid that Gu Qian would startle the horse, so he got off the horse, handed over the reins to the soldiers guarding the city, and trotted to lead the horse for Gu Qian. Gu Qian sat on the horse and slowly walked into the city, Wang Xishi's tofu stall was already surrounded by people on the inside and outside of the three floors, the stall was also lifted, the tables, chairs and benches were scattered, and the bean flowers were also scattered on the ground, Wang Xishi had a straw mat on his body, and he was tremblingly crowded in the corner of the pillar.

Outside, the mother-in-law of the Ma master book was still scolding, and the Ma master book was pulling her back in a wolf manner. It is rare to see such a lively, and there are commotions from time to time in the crowd.

Seeing that it was really unbelievable, Gu Qian frowned and said loudly, "What are you doing?"
