The horse's eyes turned, and he saw that he was very familiar with the wind and the rudder. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Bold! Let you revise and verify the ledger, who let you tamper with it? Now that you've made it confusing, how can Lord Xiong check it? ”
Mei Xueyan glanced at him, Master Ma didn't even look at it, and wanted to pass the blame to her, but it was a quick loss.
"What did Master Ma say? I checked and filled in the gaps, and improved the accounts, which was more conducive to verification by adults. ”
Master Ma's eyelids jumped, I don't know what her intentions are, these accounts are all from last year, she just joined the company, how can she know where he embezzled the money back then? Thinking of this, Master Ma was a little relieved, and even Wu County Ling couldn't see it, what was she capable of?
"Lord Xiong, Wu County Order, although she is my subordinate, but she acted arbitrarily and delayed the adult's official business, I just ask the adult to forgive her for being a novice, and the punishment can be light, and I will personally explain the questions on the account to the adult."
Master Ma sneered in his heart, he just wanted to deal with Old Man Zou, who knew that Mei Xueyan wanted to be this scapegoat, or not, the second miss had already seen Mei Xueyan unpleasant, and she could punish her, and turned back to ask the second miss for credit.
Look at Lord Xiong and Wu Xianling are so angry, don't you treat her as a felony?
When Ma Zhushu looked up, he saw that the two adults were staring at him with blazing eyes, as if they wanted to see him through, and Ma Zhushu didn't dare to look directly.
Xiong Cai said quietly: "It seems that your county's financial accounts are indeed confused, Wu County's order, if you don't find out a result, then I will report it to the prefect."
Wu County's order was in a cold sweat, and there was a matter of greed for ink, and he was the county commander who bore the brunt.
"Master Ma, let me ask you, last year, the Xie family's old house was resold, why was it less than 4,000 taels?"
Master Ma almost jumped up, how did Wu Xianling know? The old mansion of the Xie family was confiscated as an official mansion and sold to another squire, a total of 10,000 taels, and the record finally became more than 5,000 taels.
"The old mansion of the Xie family...... "Master Ma's throat tightened, "It was originally 10,000 taels, but the old mansion of the Xie family began to be sold in the hands of the former master book the year before last, and the squire who bought it at that time had already paid him half, and after I took over, I only got more than 5,000 taels......
Wu Xianling asked expressionlessly: "Then let me ask you, the allowance for the scholars of the poor family allocated by the imperial court last year is a total of two thousand taels, how much do you give to each household?"
"Ten...... Ten taels of silver. Beads of sweat appeared on Ma Master's forehead and he replied, "There are two hundred households in total." ”
"Fart!" Wu County Ling said coldly, "There are less than a hundred households in total!" You've embezzled half of them! ”
Ma Zhushu knelt on the ground with a thud, he only felt that there were a hundred flies in his mind, buzzing, he was responsible for distributing the allowance, he had already hidden it from the world, how could Wu County Order suddenly know?
Wu County Ling continued: "There are also shop taxes, farmers' grain taxes, etc., and half of them will fall into your pocket!"
"I ...... My lord! Wronged! It is clearly written in this account book that all the accounts of last year are your purpose! ”
Wu Xianling said coldly: "You can see for yourself."
Ma Zhushu came back to his senses, that's right, it's Mei Xueyan's new account, it must be her ghost!
Open it and take a look, it is a kind of square Kuang, the name of the project is written in the upper and left columns, and the large and small grids in the middle record the details such as numbers, and finally there are annotations, pointing out which silver is less, where it is privately swallowed, at a glance.
Ma Zhushu sat on the ground, lost his strength, and his mind turned white.
"What else do you have to say?" Wu Xianling asked.
"I ...... That's not right, she wronged me! It has been written in the old account that I am not corrupt...... "Master Ma shouted and shouted, "Mei Xueyan! I still plead for you, what is your intention in framing me with these false accounts? ”
Mei Xueyan only replied: "Master Ma doesn't have to ask me, you can compare the old and new accounts one by one to see if there are any mistakes or omissions." If you don't want people to know, unless you don't do it, you know how much benefit Ma Zhushu has gained from it, and how much evidence of guilt has been covered up. ”
Mei Xueyan revealed the evidence of the crime for the first time, and sighed slightly, maybe she would offend the Ma master and even the entire Ma family, but right and wrong are at ease in the hearts of the people, and she thinks that what she has done is worthy of her heart.
Mei Xueyan is not only for Zou Lao, she is also thrilling when settling accounts, the small county government master book is so bold, embezzling nearly half of the financial revenue, no wonder Ma master book can buy a big mansion in a year, he affects not only the county government, but also thousands of Lin'an people.
Those peasant households, if they were not exploited by the horse owner, could they have eaten an extra bite of food and not freeze to death and starve to death? If a poor student receives a stipend, can he concentrate on his studies without worrying about his livelihood? Feng Qiumo once said that there are endless leeches and moths in this world, and Ma Zhushu is already a locust that poisons and harms one side.
"You're squirting blood!" Master Ma scolded angrily, "You slut deliberately framed me!" Please be aware of it, these are all done by the former master book, I just cleaned up the mess he left behind, and it has nothing to do with me! ”
The reason why the master of Ma is so bold is because he has already concealed the past, and the county magistrate rarely goes back to check the accounts, just like the former master book, he has been sneaking around for so many years before the East Window incident happened, and the master of Ma did not expect the prefect to suddenly send someone to send someone to errand.
The second is that the method of making false accounts in the master book of Ma is clever, and the written narrative is nonsense, and it is difficult for ordinary people to make the accounts clear, so he can hide the eyes and ears of others, even if it is known one day, he pushes the former master book, and he can wash it off.
But I never thought that Mei Xueyan would come out, like an abacus into a fine, I could pick out the bones from the egg, and calculate his number from beginning to end, and the list was so orderly that even a fool could understand it.
The most important thing is that the Ma family seems to be the richest man in Lin'an, even if it is Wu County, he must be afraid of three points, he is a relative of the Ma family, even if some small evidence is found, it is expected that Wu County's order will not dare to do anything with him.
"Relying on the convenience of his official position, Master Ma embezzled state funds, embezzled money from the Mofu Mansion, and harmed one party, and the evidence was conclusive. Master Xu, you take someone to raid the house and seal the house, and all the dirty money will be confiscated and put into the warehouse! ”
Master Xu took the county government officials more than 20 officials, and took the seal to raid the house.
Before Master Ma was escorted down, he shouted: "Wu County Order, you can't do this!" I am the younger brother of the head of the Ma family and the uncle of Ma Jinqi! He has already learned of the favor of the state lord and accepted him as a disciple, think about the consequences of offending the Ma family! Mei Xueyan, you slut! If you kill me so far, the Ma family will not let you go! ”
Mei Xueyan was unmoved, but Mr. Zou looked worried, while the other two deputy chief bookkeepers trembled, they were in cahoots with the master of Ma, and Wu County's order disposed of the master of Ma, and they couldn't escape.
