Chapter 44: The Guo Mansion Family Banquet

"We have determined that there is something wrong with the bookstore using the method of counting only the pattern of the first number, and this is the evidence!"

"It's useless, even if the two of us testify at the same time that there is something wrong with the scrivener, because there is no direct evidence. First, the books were burned; Second, even the two pieces of rice paper we counted were burned; Third, if the account books and statistical results are not burned, this statistical method and the statistical results can only be used to determine the suspect, and cannot be used as direct evidence. ”

"Then Brother Liu, in this way, will we no longer report the information we have to my father or Xingying?"

Liu Fan looked at Ling Han seriously and said, "Miss Han'er, what do you think of yourself, after all, if you tell these things and tell them, it is very likely that it will affect ......!" ”

"Actually...... Actually, I don't have a good impression of my uncle at all, especially my cousin Xu Pan, who is empty-eyed, arrogant, and goes in and out of the Qinglou Chu Pavilion every day, and what he does makes people unhappy......"

"Then Miss Han'er, can you guess what Manager Guo will think or react to when he hears this?"

"My father and Uncle Li are the best and most upright people in my mind, not to mention that my father has always been unwilling to see what my uncle and cousin have done, I think my father will definitely be very, very angry when he hears these things, and he may tell Uncle Li about the situation, because my father has always regarded Uncle Li as his brother."

"So it seems that your father and uncle are not usually very compatible, right?"

"Yes, in fact, my father and uncle rarely interacted with each other before, but after the imperial court set up the northwest camp in the eighteenth year of Zhizheng and Uncle Li became the head of the northwest camp, the Shenwu army to which my father belonged also came to Liangzhou with Uncle Li, and the two had some contacts."

"At that time, my uncle was still the general judge of Liangzhou Mansion, and in the second year of Liangzhou Garrison War, due to the prefect's casualties, the imperial court appointed my uncle to leave the Liangzhou prefect after the war, and it was also after the end of the war last year, due to the heavy accounting of accounts and other matters after the war, Xingying temporarily dispatched my uncle, Wu Senjun and a number of secretaries from the original Liangzhou Mansion to the Xingying Baggage Camp to assist in the procurement and transfer of grain and grass for the army, and at the end of the year, my uncle was officially promoted to the prefect of Liangzhou by the imperial court."

"I heard my mother say that my father and my uncle had a good relationship when they were young, and the two of them moved in the same year, and then my father married my mother, and I took the exam together in the capital, but my uncle took the high school list for the first time in the exam, and my father fell to Sun Shan in the next few exams, and the relationship between the two gradually faded down, especially my uncle's personality became a little flamboyant after high school, and my uncle was disrespectful to my father in his words during the relationship, so the two of them fell into their hearts, so that they did not interact again for many years."

"I think that not only your father, but also Manager Li will be able to guess who is the most suspicious, but I also know that the evidence is insufficient, if you want to tell your father quietly about our analysis, it is not impossible, but I think that your father will not make any moves at all after listening to your words, let alone ask Manager Li to make any moves, because in the absence of any physical evidence, it is meaningless to make any moves, so please be cautious."

"Brother Liu, thank you, I will grasp this matter, many things are my little secrets and my father's secrets, even my mother won't know, I just want to remind my father, so as not to have bigger problems in the camp in the future."

"That's very good, as for how to prevent corruption after the camp, I have a set of accounting methods, which can effectively prevent accounting fraud, I can tell you now, you recommend it to the camp, in addition, when I come back from visiting relatives, we will start to study the matter of winemaking, but this method of winemaking, accounting and what new things will be announced in the name of Miss Han'er?"

"Brother Liu, why is this, how many people want to put fame and fortune under their own names but can't, but Brother Liu wants to push it out...... Why are you doing this? ”

"After all, I'm just a military man who has only studied private school for a few years, saying that these terrifying worldly things were invented by you, and most people feel that this should be the case after hearing them, and saying that a military man invented these things, most of the gains are suspicion and slander, for unnecessary trouble, just put it under your name, and count us both to do something for this world."

After listening to Liu Fan's call, Ling Han had an expression of disbelief, and after a while he muttered: "Brother Liu, you are not only knowledgeable, but also so modest and cautious, Han'er still had a heart of comparison before, but now I don't have that mind at all, I should do what you say, I will keep it a secret, just like keeping my little secret with my father." ”

After speaking, he stretched out his right little thumb to Liu Fan, and said with bright eyes: "Brother Liu, let's pull the hook."

Liu Fan saw that this girl still had such a child's mind, and couldn't help but be happy in his heart, just stretched out his hand and grabbed Ling Han's little thumb, only to hear the little girl next to him say: "Miss, someone is here!" ”

The two let go of their hands, only to see that Li Min had already walked in from the moon cave door.

I only heard Li Min say as soon as he entered the door, "I've been waiting in the hall for a long time, and I haven't seen you two coming, what are you whispering here, do you still need to pull a hook to confirm?" ”

Although Li Min had a smile on his face, his eyes were full of doubts. ”

When Liu Fan heard Li Min's words, he thought that it would be troublesome to explain these things, so he said casually: "It's nothing, it's just a poem, please keep it secret." ”

"Oh, what kind of poems did you make?"

Although Li Min immediately asked, he still didn't believe it. When it came to making poems, Han'er and the little girl Ru'er immediately laughed, and while the little girl laughed, she immediately praised Liu Fan's "Yong Qilian Mountain" masterpiece to Li Min.

Liu Fan saw that Li Min listened to the poems chanted by the little girl, and really smiled back and forth, and the ladylike form was lost, so he also laughed at this time.

When Li Min finished laughing, the little girl Ru'er had already moved a stool from the room, Liu Fan just wanted to invite Li Min to sit down and talk, but heard Li Min say: "What are you sitting on, let's go, today you two are the protagonists, if you don't go, you will have to let Uncle Guo come to invite you in person?" ”

When Liu Fan heard this, he glared at Li Min dumbfounded, slandering in his heart, why is this girl talking so amazingly today!

said casually, "Lvshuai Li, what's the matter...... Why have I and Miss Ling Han become the protagonists again? ”

"Hey, Liu Fan, I feel that you have done a good deed, but it seems that you are a thief, how can it be done?"

I only heard Ling Han next to him explain: "Brother Liu, today's banquet is mainly to thank you for saving me and Ru'er, but as soon as I heard that there was a banquet, many people came over by themselves......"

Li Min said strangely beside him: "It turns out that you haven't even told him the reason for the banquet so far, no wonder he was shocked today." ”

When the three of them came to the main courtyard, they saw that the huge courtyard was crowded, not only the main room and the east second room were arranged with guests, but also four tables were placed next to the small garden in the courtyard.

Today's wind and sunshine are beautiful, sitting in the courtyard to eat and drink is more comfortable, dazzling to see, sitting in the courtyard of the four tables three tables are generals and captains, I think they are all subordinates or colleagues of General Manager Guo for many years, at a glance belong to the uninvited group of people.

The other table is all dressed as a gentleman, and the one in the center is the big-mouthed Xu Pan.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I heard Wang Kai already shouting: "Liu Fan, here, my brother has taken a place for you, and I won't be able to defend it if you don't come again." ”

Liu Fan's heart warmed, thinking that Brother Wang was the best for him, and he always remembered himself.

He and Li Min raised their hands to say goodbye, and when they walked quickly to Wang Kai's side, all the people at the same table with him had already stood up to greet him, only to hear Li Aiguo, the captain of the second brigade of the original Shenwu Army, bow to Liu Fan and say: "I have seen General Liu, congratulations to General Liu on his promotion to Sima Du, when can I eat General Liu's promotion banquet?" ”

Liu Fan paused slightly, shook his head lightly and said, "I guess you won't be able to eat this year." ”

"Well, what, you still want to play tricks and not treat you?" Wang Kai was puzzled beside him.
