Chapter 255
"Young master, young master, what do you guess the little ones have seen?" After Ah Qiu rushed to He Jinghui, he gasped and said with a happy look. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
“…… Do you think that young master, I am the roundworm in your stomach, able to see everything you see from your navel? He Jinghui couldn't help but roll his eyes, this Ah Qiu is really worrying, well, he is a very young scholar, the important thing is that he has no heart.
"Uh...... Young master, don't be joking, let me tell you, the little one saw that the Lan family's Lan Er was there. Ah Qiu let He Jingxuan's words make his eyes roll, and he could only say honestly.
"The second child of the Lan family? The Lan family ......" He Jinghui raised his fingers and gently tapped his forehead, and only after a while did he say in confusion. "You mean, the people of the Lan family, the biggest grain merchant in this county?"
"Yes, yes, it's Lan Er, the housekeeper of the Lan family, who saw him when he was buying grain in the Lan family's grain store before." Ah Qiu nodded and replied.
"The housekeeper of the Lan family went to the official warehouse, what does he want to do?" He Jinghui's brows couldn't help but lock.
"This small one is not clear, and because there is a large amount of mud and rocks washed down from the mountain near the official warehouse, the surrounding area is blocked by the messenger, and no one is allowed to approach, so the small one only looked at it from a distance, and failed to see the situation in the official warehouse, the only thing that is strange is that he saw the Lan family's housekeeper Lan Er."
After He Jinghui touched his chin and thought about it for a long time, he had already thought of a possibility, but he couldn't be completely sure. "Ah Qiu, you help me go and see where that Zhao Bantou is, find him, and then take him to the back house, no, take him to Nianxiang Pavilion to see me."
"Young master, why don't you go directly to the master, why are you looking for Zhao Bantou?" Ah Qiu couldn't help but ask.
He Jinghui turned his head to look at the room where his father was, and shrugged helplessly. "If it's useful to find your father, do you think I still need to let you go to Zhao Bantou?"

He Jinghui slipped to the Nianxiang Pavilion, and saw that the door outside the Nianxiang Pavilion was full of birds, and the other shops were no better, after all, Ruolan County was flooded now, although Ruolan County was located at a high place, but the continuous rainstorm also made the people miserable.
When the clouds and rain are resting, it is just time to repair the roof of the house, pick up the missing and fill the leaks, and buy daily necessities, so naturally there are many fewer people who go out to go shopping.
After entering the Nianxiang Pavilion and glancing at it, only two shopkeepers stayed in the shop, but Lin Wanghu, the second boss who had been trembling and diligent, was not there.
After inquiry, I learned that the other three shopkeepers also had some problems in their homes due to the long-term blister rain, and they had to go back to their homes to deal with them before they came back to the store.
He Jinghui naturally didn't care about anything for these little things, so he went straight into the room, found the tea leaves, put the small kettle on the charcoal clay stove, and waited for the water to boil.
When the water was about to boil, Zhao Bantou had already rushed to the Nianxiang Pavilion with Ah Qiu with a puzzled face.
"Zhao Bantou, you came just in time, taste this Wu family's flower tea......" He Jinghui smiled and beckoned Zhao Bantou to sit down, and personally poured a cup of tea for Zhao Bantou, who was still confused.
"Thank you Yanei, this tea smells so fragrant, it must be very good to drink......" Zhao Bantou carefully took it, sniffed deeply, and said with a face full of intoxication.
Seeing this guy's exaggerated expression, He Jinghui smiled and didn't say anything, picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip, and then went straight to the ground: "Zhao Bantou, how is Master Chen's behavior?" ”
"This, why did Yanei ask about Chen Zhubo, could it be that Chen Zhubo offended you in Yanei?" Zhao Bantou is worthy of being the most shrewd team leader among the three classes of officials in Ruolan County, and after listening to He Jinghui's words, he immediately smelled a trace of strangeness.
"Not really, it's just ...... He always felt that something was not quite right with this Chen Zhubo. By the way, do you know the situation in the official warehouse? He Jinghui shook his head, staring at the tea bowl and said unhurriedly
"Ruolan County's official warehouse, the small one really doesn't know......" Hearing this, Zhao Bantou's expression was a little strange, and his speech was a little squeaky.
He Jinghui narrowed his eyes slightly: "Are you really not clear, or are you pretending to be really unclear?" ”
At this point, seeing He Jinghui's expression that seemed to be smiling, for some reason, Zhao Bantou always felt that there was a pressure that even in the face of He Jinghui's father, he had never felt spontaneous.
"Yanai, it's not that the little ones don't want to say it, but this matter...... It's not a small matter. In the end, after carefully weighing it in his heart, one is He County Ling, the other is Chen Zhubo, which one is light and which is heavy, Zhao Bantou decided to make his own choice.
"It's not a matter for you to know, the important thing is that you have to say it, so that He Mou knows what is related to Chen Zhubo." He Jinghui looked directly at Zhao Bantou, and his tone was calm and authentic. "Although my father has worked in Ruolan County for many years, he has no henchmen...... Do you understand what I mean? ”
If you don't understand, it's really stupid, Zhao Ban's eyes lit up amazingly, and he looked at He Jinghui with a starry look, as if as long as He Jinghui beckoned, he could kneel and lick on the spot. "Don't worry, the little one will definitely serve the county commander well, and his liver and brain will be smeared, and he will be ...... after death."
He Jinghui interrupted Zhao Bantou's sycophancy, signaling the goods to hurry up and get down to business, and soon, he learned a news from Zhao Bantou's mouth that made He Jinghui's face change greatly.
Chen Zhubo's third concubine is the second daughter of Boss Lan, in addition, the affairs of the official warehouse have always been in charge of Chen Zhubo and the cang's ambassador Wu Servant, and from the past to the present, the people who take care of the official warehouse are not the third class of officials, but the auxiliary soldiers of the county are responsible for vigilance, fire prevention and theft.
At the time of the fall of the previous county order, nearly half of the officials in Ruolan County were thrown into prison, and those with ranks, only Chen Zhubo stayed, it is said that it was because this person made a mistake and reported a lot of illegal and corrupt things in the county order, and his own sins were not serious, so he was able to stand.
He Jinghui narrowed his eyes, and after listening carefully to Zhao Bantou's dedication to explain for a long time, he nodded thoughtfully. "By the way, the last time the Yin County Order was taken down, what was the charge of Chen Zhubo?"
"What is the specific crime of Chen Zhubo, the little one has not inquired, but I heard the brother on duty at that time say that when the county treasury was raided, I don't know which unlucky guy lodging the candle flame and igniting the account book of the official warehouse, and in the end, although the rescue was timely and did not become a major disaster, the account book of the official warehouse was burned a lot."
"Burned? It shouldn't have been burned down only in recent years......" He Jinghui smashed his mouth, for Shenma After hearing that the account book was burned, a very strange feeling would appear in his heart, just like seeing a dog vomiting blood, if there is as much dog blood, there will be as much dog blood.
Zhao Bantou shook his head after thinking about it. "It doesn't seem to be all in the last few years, but there are also in the past, but fortunately, less than ten account books have been burned......
"Isn't there any of these books?" He Jinghui narrowed his eyes, thinking about whether he could see anything wrong from the account book.
"This ...... By the way, there is a copy over there in the official warehouse. Zhao Bantou pondered for a long time, and finally thought of it.
"The problem is that if you only have the accounts on the official warehouse, there is no way to reconcile them." Although He Jinghui has never worked as an accountant, he has also been exposed to some superficial accounting knowledge when he was working.
However, this sentence was not said to Zhao Bantou, but He Jinghui's self-talk, and after thinking about it for a long time, He Jinghui asked Zhao Bantou. "In your third class of servants, are there any people who are familiar with those auxiliaries?"
"This is all native to the hometown, so naturally there is." Zhao Bantou looked at He Jinghui cautiously and replied, now he understands that this Yanei is collecting evidence of Chen Zhubo's crimes, and is ready to take that Chen Zhubo under the knife.
"It's easy to do, Zhao Bantou, He needs you to help me inquire about a few things......" Speaking of this, He Jinghui lowered his voice and muttered quietly in Zhao Bantou's ear.
