Chapter Eighty-Three: Guilt

Mr. Zou was called by the master to go to the inner room, and he came out after about half a cup of tea, and he was a little depressed when he came out. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

"Old man Zou, what's the good thing about Master Ma? Say it and make us happy. ”

The other bookkeeper crossed his legs on the table, lit his pipe, and laughed gloatingly.

Mr. Zou snorted coldly and said, "This is as you wish, embarrassed!"

"It's useless for you to scold anything now." The man pretended not to care and said, "Anyway, you old guy has learned a lesson, and you have relieved our hatred, you like to scold as much as you like, there is a kind of scolding to Wu Xianling, see if he ignores you." ”

Old Mr. Zou suddenly thought of something and asked, "Such a treacherous idea was given to the master of the horse, right?"

"So what?" The man said confidently, "Who made you say things that you shouldn't say and do things you shouldn't do, and you have long wanted to clean up your old things, and you can only blame yourself for deserving it." ”

Mr. Zou was so angry that he was speechless for a while. When the two of them saw him deflated, they laughed even more.

"Ah, Zou Lao, it's me who is open-mouthed, don't blame you, it's not good to be angry with this old bone." The man teased, "After all, we all have to thank you, don't we?" Thank you for helping us ward off disasters and difficulties, we are really our living Buddhas and Bodhisattvas! ”

The two men stood up as they spoke, and Mr. Zou turned sideways to look at them.

"It seems that there is nothing to do with us here, Zou Lao, if you are in trouble one day, you can come to us, after all, the friendship of colleagues is still there, and it is still okay to reward you with a few copper plates for a meal."

The two of them packed up their things, hooked their shoulders and walked away, and shouted to Mei Xueyan before leaving.

"That little girl, I think you are a relative of Wu County's order, don't have anything to do with this unlucky old thing, and you can only eat with us."

"Alas......"

Mr. Zou sat back in his chair dejectedly, slightly stunned.

"Why did Old Zou sigh?"

Mei Xueyan heard very little movement outside, as if Master Ma had argued with Zou Lao for a few words, but she didn't hear the content clearly.

Mr. Zou smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid I won't be able to do it for a long time, I should have expected such a show, anyway, I'm old and frail, and my eyes are yellow and dry even when I look at the accounts, so it's good to go home to care for the elderly."

"Zou Lao and Master Ma have a dispute?"

"It's not just a dispute, he will take revenge and remember my revenge." Mr. Zou pointed to his desk and said, "Look, this is last year's account book." ”

Mei Xueyan took a random book, and all the accounts on it were chaotic, it was deliberately done by someone, it seemed to be clearly written, but in fact, none of the numbers were right.

Moreover, the ledger has been severely bitten by insects, ants and rats, and has been completely blurred.

"It's a bad debt that can't be calculated!"

Mei Xueyan threw down the account book angrily, and doing this account is tantamount to blatant corruption.

"You see that, too? The previous master book was too rampant, so he was dismissed by the county magistrate, he had thought of this day, he didn't even want his wife and children if he didn't do it, he rolled up the silver and ran away, and he made it like this, and the silver in the inventory was less than thirty percent. ”

Mei Xueyan asked, "Won't the county magistrate pursue it?"

This person is also ruthless, abandoning his wife and children and fleeing by himself, but once this kind of person has money, does he still lack a wife and children? I'm afraid that the wives and concubines are happy in groups.

"Pursue it, but the world is big, who knows where he went?"

Mr. Zou changed his mouth and said: "Later, Master Ma handed over the next position, how could he suffer this loss?" How can ledger archives be so easy to be bitten by insects? He is here to die without proof, anyway, it is what the previous chief bookkeeper did, and it has nothing to do with him. ”

"He's just doing this to cover up people's eyes, and if he pushes any charges on the previous master's book, he can do whatever he wants."

Mr. Zou nodded and said, "You are clever and clever, and you can understand it at one point."

"No, how much did Master Ma do in secret? The other two deputy directors were brought by him, and in a fit of rage, the county magistrate was completely blinded in the dark, and last year in a case of selling the house, he embezzled more than half of it, and I reported it to the county magistrate, and he already regarded me as a thorn in his side, but he couldn't find a good reason to get rid of me quickly. ”

Where there are people, there is fighting, Mei Xueyan couldn't help but sigh, there are so many pickled things in the small county government master's book, which really made her unexpected.

"So Master Ma gave you all these bad debts?"

"He wants me to take an account of his guilt." Mr. Zou smiled dismally, "Actually, if the top really investigates, they only need to push one person out and settle the charge of unfavorable affairs, and the matter will be settled by half, anyway, the account book has been destroyed, and who can see that half of the inventory is empty?" ”

Mei Xueyan took the account book and flipped it over, indeed, if you calculate it solidly, you can see that this is a fake account, but who has the leisure time to list it? Even if the prefect sent someone, it would be useless.

"But Mr. Zou, if you are convicted for this, won't you be the most wronged one? We can tell the county magistrate truthfully, I believe that the county magistrate Wu is not a stupid person. ”

Mei Xueyan couldn't help but be indignant, if Wu County Ling knew this, he would not sit idly by.

"It's rare to have you still cry out for me." Mr. Zou said helplessly, "You have forgotten that the master of the Ma family is a relative of the Ma family, and I would rather wear a crime of disadvantage than cause trouble." ”

Mei Xueyan realized that things in the world can't just rely on justice and blood, and if it were so easy to punish adultery and eliminate evil, there wouldn't be so many traitors and corrupt officials in the world.

Mei Xueyan grew up in the majestic Lin family, for the Lin family, the main book is not a big official position, but for ordinary people, it is a great power, and the maids in the Lin Mansion are still divided into three, six, nine and so on, and the government is the same reason.

For the four words of involuntarily, Mei Xueyan, a little person, has a deep understanding.

"It's better for us to settle this bad account together, and display it clearly at a glance, so that the prefect and Wu County Order can see at a glance, and we will know where there is a loss and who is making trouble."

Mei Xueyan felt that Wu Xianling may not have known about Master Ma's actions, but he lacked evidence and could not convict.

Mr. Zou hesitated and said, "Girl, you'd better not get involved, so as not to affect you." We can't figure out so many accounts, and the master book is very clever in making false accounts, otherwise how can we hide it for so many years? ”

"Old Zou, you also know that I learned the KitKat algorithm from the remnants, maybe it can be solved, even if it can't, it's better than sitting still."

Mei Xueyan insisted on saying that Mr. Zou had helped her a lot, and she should repay the favor, if it weren't for him, Mei Xueyan would have been left aside by Master Ma, and she might be the one who will be pushed out next time.

"I don't even know what to say...... Thank you girl for your help, let's try it, don't be reckless, if the master of the horse book is difficult again, and there is a trouble, I will take it, it's a big deal to be punished, I don't want to do the errand, don't implicate you. ”
