The next day, Meng Guanshuang, who had come to visit the mountains and rivers, suddenly stayed in the account room seriously, and never came out again since he went in the morning.

Moreover, not only did she have to look at the account books of these days, but even the account books before Feng Qiang's incident had to be seen one by one, and she explained that from that day on, every manager had to report to Zhang Cheng in person what he wanted to do.

The ledger of the day also needs to be handed over on the same day, and no one above the level of steward is allowed to meet privately during her audit.

If there is a major situation that needs to be discussed, Zhang Cheng also needs to be present, or someone from Xu Jingxuan needs to be watching.

This loose and tight policy suddenly caused some people a headache.

But they know Xu Jingxuan's character, and there are countless secret guards around him, who knows which corner they are hiding in to peek at their every move.

And because of this sentence, the hearts of the five people who had met alone before were like fifteen buckets, and they were uneasy.

The whole farm was suddenly enveloped in a tense atmosphere.

Everyone paid attention to the small account yard in the front yard, and every day they only saw the stewards, the subordinates, in and out, some joyful, some nervous, some depressed, and some high-spirited.

However, everyone didn't dare to ask those people, for fear that they would be caught by Xu Jingxuan's people as soon as they came forward.

Of course, there are still differences between people, and some people do not know the height of the sky, and think that they may be one of the lucky ones, so when a little steward who is in charge of paying rent to the tenant farmers comes out of the account room and turns to the backyard. stopped him, and asked, "Seeing that your face is so bad, have you been found out by the county lord?" ”

The little steward was startled, turned his head and glared at him, and said vigilantly, "What are you doing?" Have you forgotten the order of the county lord? You want to die yourself, but I still want to do a good job here at the farm! ”

"Oh, look at your serious appearance, what are you so afraid of, didn't I just come to the farm, I don't know some things. I don't know what the character of the county lord is. I want to hear what you were asked today, I prepared for it early! The man smiled flatteringly.

The little steward looked at him suspiciously, and said angrily: "Since you have just come, where will you have the opportunity to be summoned by the county lord." I think you're still saving some snacks. Stay cool and go which! ”

After speaking. He was leaving.

The man grabbed him and continued to smile with a sneer: "Don't mind, I don't have anything else to think about." It's really just curiosity! ”

As he spoke, his palms were spread, and an ingot of silver was revealed.

Seeing the silver, who was not moved, the little steward looked around vigilantly, showed a serious seriousness on his face, and scolded: "What do I mean by this? Bribe me? I'm telling you, I don't eat this! ”

He said that he would not eat this set, but his eyes were already greedily staring at the silver and could not move.

Originally, after Feng Qiang's incident, everyone was in danger, and although some of their little stewards were not affected, they were also in danger and did not dare to take any action.

After all, the people above are corrupt and take bribes, and the people below them have the opportunity to touch some small fish and shrimp to eat, and the people above dare not move, where do they dare to give and accept bribes.

With less oil and water, they felt that they were not feeling energetic, and when they saw the silver, they instinctively became greedy again.

He stared straight at the silver in the hands of others, and naturally did not notice the coldness in the other party's eyes.

"Look at what you said, how can this be called bribery! This is my filial piety silver as a newcomer to learn some experience from you! Just take it! As soon as the man turned his hand over, he took the little steward by the hand and shoved the silver ingot into his hand.

The little steward only felt that his palms were sinking, and he estimated that there should be ten taels of silver in this ingot, and his heart suddenly blossomed, but he still said seriously on his face: "Since it is your filial piety, then ......"

Before he could finish the words behind the word "that", he suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing in front of him, and then the little steward only felt that his palms were empty, and the silver that he was about to stuff into his arms disappeared out of thin air.

Looking at it again, a Kui Shuo man wearing a black tights and a black scarf on his face was glaring at him with a pair of gloomy eyes, and said sharply, "What are you doing here?" Do you take the words of His Highness and the county lord as wind in your ears? ”

"Mom!" The little steward felt that his knees were weak and his head was dizzy, so he fell to the ground and fainted.

Before fainting, the only thought in my heart was: There are really secret guards watching them!

"It's so scary!" The previous man stared at the person on the ground in surprise, and couldn't help kicking twice, but the little steward fainted completely, and there was no reaction at all, and he lay up straight and unconscious.

The masked secret guard also sweated and said, "It won't just scare him to death!" ”

The man glared at him: "Remember to soften your voice in the future!" I'm really scared to death, but it will ruin the good things of the master and the county lord! ”

"Yes!" The Dark Guard nodded sheepishly.

That night, the little steward was almost tempted to disobey the orders of the county lord, and as a result, the secret guards of the Nine Emperor Princes caught the thief on the spot and took the dirty news, and the news spread throughout the front and back yards of the farm.

It is said that the newcomer who tried to pay the bribe was immediately sent down by the county lord, and he was kicked out without even letting him go back to pack the package, and drew drawings to inform the stewards of all the relevant properties in the name of the government that he would never be hired.

In the end, the little steward was not able to resist the temptation, and became greedy, so he was naturally punished, relieved of his duties, and demoted to inferior servitude, and no matter how good he behaved from now on, he could no longer have a chance to be promoted.

Suddenly, the wind was loud, everyone was in danger, and no one dared to take the county lord's words seriously.

The person who was summoned by the county lord for questioning, whenever he saw someone trying to talk to him, he turned around in fright and fled, not daring to say a word to others.

The note in Mao Ping's hand that was originally going to be sent out by the carrier pigeon was almost crushed by him, but in the end he didn't dare to test his courage, for fear of being caught by Xu Jingxuan's secret guards.

Two days later, Meng Guanshuang summoned Zhang Cheng and Liu Qi again, including Wu Chang, the deputy steward who was said to be a heavy drinker and had a capricious temper, except for some experience in managing Gongcha, and the rest were always wrong.

The four of them talked in the account room all morning, at that time, even the Nine Emperor Princes were not qualified to go in to discuss, after all, this is the property of the Guogong Mansion, and the Nine Emperor Princes, as the future son-in-law, can help some favors, but if they interfere too much in internal affairs, it will be too much.

Once again, the atmosphere was tense. (To be continued.) )
