Chapter Eighty-Seven: Rage
"Why haven't you come yet?"
In the county office, there are stacks of account books of the past years on the table, Wu County Ling accompanied the government to sit, the accounts of the previous years have been checked, and Mei Xueyan took back last year's account books, and the house sent Xiong Cai to drink several cups of tea, such as two trips to the toilet, and gradually became impatient. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Lord Wu, your accounts over the years are confused, you are a ghost made by the former master bookkeeper, the prefect has said, and you can not blame the past, but I always have to see the records of the accounts in recent years, right? Could it be that Lord Wu is weak-hearted, and he found a reason to deliberately drag on with me here? ”
Wu County's order is angry, although Xiong Cai's grade is not as good as the county order, but he is the prefect's main bookkeeper, and he is an official sent by the prefect, so he doesn't have to be polite to him in words, even if the words are thorny, Wu County's order can only endure it, who let him really have financial problems?
"Don't be impatient, Lord Xiong." Wu Xian Ling could only ask, "Why don't you file the account books, but take them home privately?" ”
"The two adults of Qiyu, the archive room is plagued by rats, causing a lot of damage, so I asked Deputy Master Mei to take it back, check and fill in the gaps and account clearly, Deputy Master Mei has been sick these two days, but she is a trustworthy person, even if something is delayed, she will come here."
Mr. Zou almost squinted his eyes and replied, he had already accepted his fate, and only hoped that the matter would not involve Mei Xueyan.
Whistle off the horse owner? He didn't dare, otherwise he would have no peace with his wife and children in the future, and he couldn't, Ma Zhushu did not leave any evidence of guilt, and the account book had been changed beyond recognition, even Da Luo Immortal could see the clues at most, and he couldn't point out the mistakes, Ma Zhushu only needed to shirk the previous master.
"My lord, my subordinates are not doing things well, and the management is not good, because I have not done a good job of supervision, please surrender my lordship."
Master Ma took the lead and said: "Although Zou Lao takes care of the archive room on weekdays, as the chief bookkeeper, I have been tired of filling in the financial omissions left by the previous master book, and I have not been able to detect the rat infestation in time, and I am also derelict in my duty."
Mr. Zou was speechless, and sure enough, Master Ma picked himself up completely, and at most received a small crime of negligence, which did not hurt the roots.
"Whether the official has eaten the mouse or the snake, the official just needs to read last year's new account and give the prefect an errand, if there is any problem with Wu County's subordinates, he can deal with it himself, and it has nothing to do with the official!"
Xiong knew that there were many curves in the official mansion, but he was too lazy to care about these things, he only needed to complete the prefect's errand.
There is a bear to be there, and it is not easy to pursue the Wu county order, if there is something ugly to shake off, it will be in the face of his county order, so they will simply be punished together.
Wu Xianling said in annoyance: "The main book and below are all derelict in their duties, and they will be deducted for half a year!"
The other two deputy chief bookkeepers were dissatisfied, and they could have let Zou Lao bear it alone, but they also suffered. And Zou Lao was like an amnesty, and he didn't lose this errand job, he already felt lucky.
Master Ma glanced at him coldly, he couldn't get rid of this old guy, he was always a stumbling block.
As for deducting the money, it doesn't matter if the master of the horse book is at all, he doesn't rely on this meager money to eat and drink, such a little silver, he can't even make up for his daily expenses, how can he buy a mansion in a year?
Mei Xueyan was delayed for a while by Gongzi Xie, who was proposed, before hurriedly returning to the county office.
"Deputy Chief Chef Mei, can you bring last year's account book?"
Master Ma asked eagerly, but there was a cold light in his eyes, the reason why he dared to give the account book to Zou Lao and her was because he thought that they would not dare to expose him, even if she let her take it home? She has only been on the job for a few days, how can she figure out his fake accounts?
"Of course, please take a look, because the old account book has been destroyed, so the lower official re-verified and made a new book, so that the adults can see it more clearly."
Mei Xueyan presented both books, the old accounts were disorganized, completely described in words, and there were many words to cover people's ears, but the number of errors was brushed aside, and her difference was to streamline the accounts and only pick out the key information.
"Wu County Order, your county government still allows women to join?"
Xiong Cai asked with a little disdain, this Lin'an talent withered, and only then would women be allowed to take up positions, women are short-sighted, open-minded, and it is okay to serve men and children at home, but they are embarrassed to be of great use outside.
Mei Xueyan replied herself: "Your Excellency, Wu County's order is not confined to small sections, but those who can use it are used, and the lower officials are grateful to Lord Wu for his kindness." What's more, Jingguo does not have a rule prohibiting women from holding office. ”
Mei Xueyan called herself a "lower official" for the first time, which was not very smooth.
Xiong Cai saw that this little woman was neither humble nor arrogant, and her answers were fluent, which was better than that of Master Ma's book, and he was very interested.
Xiong Cai smiled and asked, "You mean you are very capable?"
Wu Xian Ling said with slight pride: "She is the Maocai personally ordered by Lord Lu of Huatong Mansion."
"Oh? Is she that the female Maocai? I've heard of this, even Huatong Mansion is boiling, after Lord Lu went back, he praised her, and asked the academy of Huatong Academy to record her as a student in advance. ”
Huatong Academy is the government-run academy of Huatong Mansion, and the competition with private academies is fierce, so every year the admission of students is like grabbing hydrangea, and Tianjiao talent is the object of robbery by various academies.
Xiong Cai picked up the ledger and said, "I want to see if this little woman of yours is really worthy of Lu Tixue's attention."
Xiong Cai was a little prejudiced at first, and let a woman win the championship, which shows how unbearable these talents in Lin'an County are, not necessarily how good Mei Xueyan is.
I heard that Junzi Jian Lu Tixue personally recommended her and asked Corporal Jun Lixian of Huatong Academy to be hired as a student, but someone in the academy intervened, saying that there was no need to make a big deal for the little girl, so the matter was stopped. It is said that Lu Tixue also recommended to his teacher, saying that she was not a small calligrapher, and asked the "scholar" to accept her as a closed disciple.
After opening the ledger, Xiong was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes before continuing to read, the more he looked at it, the more gloomy his face became, and after a while, he finished the whole book.
Others don't know why Xiong Cai has this expression, and even Wu County's order is strange, isn't there something wrong with the ledger?
Master Ma smiled lightly, this stinky girl who doesn't know whether she is alive or dead has to intervene, what is she capable of? No, if she angers Lord Xiong, she will definitely not be able to get any benefits.
"Wu County Order, see for yourself!"
Xiong Cai had a cold face and handed the notebook to Wu County.
Coincidentally, Wu Xianling's expression was the same, first he was a little puzzled, and then the more he looked at it, the more angry he became, comparing the old and new ledgers, and finally even his chest rose and fell, obviously suppressing great anger.
"Bastard!"
Wu Xian Ling screamed and slammed the ledger to the ground.
Master Ma's book is very strange to them, even if the accounts are not clear, or Mei Xueyan's writing is chaotic, how can they provoke the two adults to be so angry?
