Chapter 146: The Secret of the Ledger
Zhu Hao looked at Qin Hui's speechlessness, and his heart was even more anxious, and he couldn't help but be a little unable to control the anger in his heart, and snorted coldly and said angrily: "Qin Shun, what did this king ask you?" Are you deaf or dumb? ”
Qin Hui listened to Zhu Hao's words, knowing that if he didn't speak, he was afraid that he would really be driven out of the Qin Mission, so he said tremblingly: "Back to His Highness, it's not that the students don't answer His Highness's questions, it's just that His Highness, the students themselves have no bottom in this matter, His Highness is willing to give the students another chance, and the students are grateful for His Highness's kindness, but the students don't want to lie and deceive His Highness, according to the students, this account book is estimated to be difficult for the students to understand, the students disappointed His Highness, and please punish His Highness!" ”
Qin Hui, who was kneeling on the ground, said, and kowtowed to Zhu Hao to show reparation, Zhu Hao sighed slightly when he saw this, and understood in his heart that Qin Hui's words were more pertinent, indeed for this account book, there is not much difference between these ten days and a hundred days, and this account book itself is not particularly thick, if you can't understand it in ten days, I'm afraid it will be difficult to understand it no matter how much time you have, this thing can't be understood by reading it over and over again, he needs a momentary epiphany, and then think about it, and it will naturally be clear.
Zhu Hao thought about this, hoping that he would have an epiphany, so he opened his mouth and said to Qin Hui: "Take that booklet and show it to this king again!" ”
When Qin Hui heard this, he quickly took out the account book from his arms, held it high above his head, and then cautiously knelt down and walked forward a few steps, handing the account book to Zhu Hao's hand.
Zhu Hao opened the account book again, carefully read more than ten pages, and was still confused, which made him a little angry, threw the account book to the ground vigorously, and said angrily: "What the matter, Qin Shun, you think this is an account book!" ”
Zhu Hao said, about to vent his anger on Qin Hui, at this time, Zi Yan walked into the room with a cup of tea, and then said: "What happened to make the prince so angry!" Come, Lord Wang, drink a cup of tea first! Zi Yan said and put the teacup in her hand in front of Zhu Hao.
Originally, Zi Yan interrupted Zhu Hao's behavior just now, and according to Zhu Hao's previous temper, he would definitely reprimand Zi Yan, but between him and Zi Yan, after all, he had experienced such a wedding and cave room, although Zi Yan was now his handmaid, but Zhu Hao still couldn't treat Zi Yan as an ordinary handmaid.
Therefore, Zhu Hao just took a deep look at Zi Yan, then took a deep breath, picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and was about to reprimand Qin Hui again to vent the anger in his heart.
At this time, Zi Yan bent down to pick up the account book on the ground, and muttered in a low voice: "How can a good book still be on the ground?" ”
As she spoke, she picked up the account book, then looked at the account book with some surprise, and said, "This book is so strange, it doesn't seem to be an ordinary book, right?" ”
Zhu Hao suddenly remembered that Zi Yan was also the Oiran of Qunfang Pavilion, and her talent must be extraordinary, so he first put down his reprimand for Qin Hui, and then said with the mentality of trying it out: "Zi Yan, look at this booklet and see if you can see any difference!" ”
Zi Yan listened to Zhu Hao's words, and said with a smile: "The slave obeys the order!" ”
After Zi Yan finished speaking, she opened the booklet, looked at it carefully, and after reading a few pages, Zi Yan frowned slightly, and then said, "Lord Wang, this is not a book!" It's an account book! ”
Zhu Hao listened to Zi Yan's words, instantly stood up from the chair, and then asked, "Zi Yan, can you understand this account book?" ”
Zi Yan nodded when she heard this, and then said: "When Zi Yan was in Qunfang Pavilion earlier, I heard the sisters say that there is such a hidden way of keeping accounts in this Zhejiang officialdom, but Zi Yan has only heard of it, but she has never seen it, and today is the first time I have seen such an account book, Lord Wang, where did you get this account book?" ”
When Zhu Hao heard that Zi Yan actually understood this account book, he secretly said in his heart: "This is really intentionally planting flowers that do not bloom, and unintentionally planting willows and willows!" Then Zhu Hao didn't explain the origin of this account book to Zi Yan, but continued directly: "It doesn't matter how this account book came from, Zi Yan, tell this king quickly, what is going on with this account book!" As long as you can say it clearly, this king will definitely be rewarded! ”
Zi Yan looked at Zhu Hao's eagerness, and said with a charming smile: "The prince's words can be counted, if Zi Yan can understand this account book, Zi Yan doesn't want other rewards, as long as the prince marries Zi Yan and gives Zi Yan a name!" ”
Zhu Hao never expected that Zi Yan would make such a request, which immediately made his old face red, smiled awkwardly, and then said: "Well, this, uh, Zi Yan, well, look, can you talk about this account book first!" ”
Zi Yan looked at Zhu Hao so embarrassed, and suddenly there was a coquettish smile, a sly flash in the corner of her eyes, and then she said: "I know that you have no sincerity, since the prince is unwilling, Zi Yan will not force it, but you don't regret it in the future, but don't regret it, prince!" ”
Zhu Hao heard that Zi Yan's words were a joke, so he didn't care, but looked at Zi Yan with earnest eyes, hoping that Zi Yan could tell the secret of this account book, Zi Yan took a deep breath, and then opened her mouth to tell Zhu Hao: "This account book is actually not difficult to understand, the name of every person who is evaluated on this is the person who gives bribes, and the writer of this account book is naturally the person who accepts bribes, as for the amount, the prince can check the number of words!"
Zhu Hao listened to Zi Yan's words, a little puzzled, and then said suspiciously: "Check the number of words?" What is the relationship between this bribe amount and the number of words? ”
Zi Yan saw that Zhu Hao hadn't understood yet, so she glanced at Zhu Hao, and then continued to explain: "If Zi Yan guessed correctly, this word represents ten taels of silver, like this Cheng Sanjin's evaluation on the first page, there are a total of fifty-six words, which should be a bribe of five hundred and sixty taels of silver, didn't His Highness find out that the more this evaluation goes, the fewer words there are?" This is because this account book is arranged according to the amount of bribes! ”
As soon as Zhu Hao heard Zi Yan's explanation, he instantly understood, and hurriedly took the account book from Zi Yan's hand, and looked at it carefully, it was really like Zi Yan's, and the further he went, the fewer the words.
Zhu Hao finally figured out this account book, because of the joy in his heart, he picked it up excitedly, Zi Yan beside him turned around in place, and then said: "Zi Yan this time, you have made a great contribution!" ”
Zi Yan was blushed by Zhu Hao's sudden move, and then whispered, "Your Highness, are there still people watching from the side?" ”
Qin Hui is a delicate person, and when he heard Zi Yan's words, he immediately lay on the ground and said, "The student is blind, and he hasn't seen anything!" ”
Zhu Hao listened to Zi Yan and Qin Hui's words, and then realized that his behavior was a little inappropriate, he hurriedly put down Zi Yan, then kicked Qin Hui, and scolded angrily: "You can really pretend, get out!" Get out of here, when this king lets you see the account book, why don't you see that you have this ability? ”
Qin Hui listened to Zhu Hao's words, and thought that Zhu Hao was going to be in this daylight, so he said again and again: "Your Highness, pay attention to your body!" Students quit! Students quit! ”
This sentence "Your Highness, pay attention to your body! At that, the angry Zhu Hao slammed the teacup in his hand to the ground, so frightened that Qin Hui didn't dare to say anything more, so he hurriedly withdrew from the room.
Zhu Hao looked at Qin Hui's figure exiting the room, touched his nose unconfidently, and said secretly in his heart: "Is Lao Tzu the ** in their hearts?" Wei Xiaobao said so, Qin Hui also said so, is Lao Tzu so unprincipled and bottom-line? Although Lao Tzu is not Liu Xia Hui, he can't sit still, but Lao Tzu is not Tai Ritian! What kind of people are these people, how can they think of Lao Tzu like this? ”
Zhu Hao felt a burst of indignation in his heart, but Zi Yan's next words almost didn't make Zhu Hao completely unable to control it, after Qin Hui withdrew from the room, Zi Yan took two steps back in fear, and then whispered: "Your Highness, uh, it's still early, or Your Highness, wait, wait for dusk, and the slave and maid will go to bed again, okay?" Right now...... Your Highness, restrain yourself first, okay? ”
Seeing that Zi Yan said no, but her eyes were clearly full of expectation, Zhu Hao almost impulsively corrected Zi Yan on the spot.
However, Zhu Hao still took a deep breath, restrained the impulsive emotions in his heart, and then secretly said in his heart: "This girl is really getting more and more provocative, and I don't know if this is a compulsory course in Qunfang Pavilion!" It's a bit unbearable! ”
Zhu Hao sighed like this in his heart, but said seriously: "Zi Yan, don't make trouble, you can also retreat!" There are some things that need to be straightened out in this king, and there are no other intentions! ”
After listening to Zhu Hao's words, Zi Yan muttered in a low voice: "Unload the mill and kill the donkey, you are a wood!" ”
Although Zi Yan muttered quietly, Zhu Hao was not blind or deaf, so he could naturally hear Zi Yan's words, and his face sank when he landed, and then he stared at his eyes and drank: "What did you say?" You repeat! ”
Zhu Hao's appearance frightened Zi Yan to shrink her neck, and said again and again: "The slave didn't say anything, the slave and the maid retreated!" With that, he ran out of Zhu Hao's room.
Zhu Hao was a little amused when he saw Zi Yan running away, shook his head slightly, and said secretly in his heart: "This girl really can't give her any good face, otherwise this is really kicking her nose in the face!" ”
After Zi Yan exited Zhu Hao's room, the panic and charm on her face just now all disappeared, and she turned into an indifferent face, she clenched her fists tightly, and then said secretly in her heart: "Zhu Youzhen, sooner or later, Miss Ben will make you willingly bow down under Miss Ben's pomegranate skirt and make a cow and a horse for Miss Ben!" Let's see if you dare to murder Miss Ben again! Hum! We'll see! ”
