Shang Shu and the two squires also looked at Qin Ming nervously.

Qin Ming saw that the three chiefs and Cheng Junsheng were all in a tense atmosphere, and suddenly smiled and said:

"It's just a joke with you, why are you so serious?"

Hearing this, Zuo Shilang laughed dryly and said, "Qin Lang is here, what is the matter?" ”

"Oh, Xia Guan just looked at the accounts of the host and guest department, and found that the silver taels for receiving foreign guests this time were not enough, so he came to ask."

Hearing this, the right attendant said: "The silver taels are not enough? Three hundred taels of silver has been allocated to your host and guest department, if it is not enough, find a way by yourself, and the Ministry of Rites is gone. ”

Qin Ming said: "No money? But there is still a lot of money to receive the envoys. ”

At this time, Lord Shangshu Zhou's eyes rolled, and he had a plan in his heart, and said:

"The silver approved by His Majesty is three hundred taels, and it has already been handed over to your host and guest department for reception and expenditure, if it is not enough, or there is a problem with the cost of the silver taels, it is your responsibility."

Qin Ming's eyes narrowed, this old thing was a little out of the cracks.

I paid the money before, and there was a problem with the expenses, such as corruption or something, is it difficult for this guy to give Qin Ming a count?

Qin Ming checked the accounts before, and found that the previous three hundred taels of silver were a little wrong in the expenses used by the host and guest department to receive the envoys.

The money was spent, but the required preparation was not up to par.

There must be a problem of corruption in this, now that Qin Ming is the Lang Zhong of the host and guest division, the account of the host and guest division is wrong, isn't it his problem?

After scolding the old thing in his heart for being really insidious, Qin Ming didn't say anything.

After all, this corruption happened in the main and guest divisions, and it has nothing to do with Shangshu, and the money was indeed given.

If Qin Ming said that the money was not enough now, then Shangshu would have to ask him where the previous three hundred taels had gone.

Although he knew that he had nothing to do with Qin Ming, who told him that he was now the person in charge of the Host and Guest Division? If you don't have enough money and are corrupt, you have his responsibility.

If Qin Ming doesn't say anything about the money in order not to be held accountable, where will he get the money that is not enough? If you don't have enough money and don't get a good reception, isn't it snubbing the envoys?

There are only two ways to do this.

First, Qin Ming found out the previous silver, and if it was embezzlement, let these people spit out the money.

The second is that Qin Ming has money and puts it on his own.

"Qin Langzhong, hurry up and solve it, the three hundred taels of silver are all given to your host and guest, if you can't do it or it's not enough, you will bear the consequences!"

Lord Shangshu said in an almost threatening tone, he was very proud, because in the blink of an eye, he had grasped the way to deal with Qin Ming.

Qin Ming smiled and said, "Since Lord Shangshu has allocated the money, if there is a problem with the previous two hundred taels of silver, the lower official will naturally find out, and the lower official will retreat first." ”

Qin Ming said and turned to leave.

After he left, Zuo Shilang laughed and said:

"I was worried that I couldn't grasp the handle, and this kid sent it to the door by himself and let us pick out the problem. The mess of the accounts of the host and guest fell on him, and it was up to him to see what he did. ”

At this time, Cheng Junsheng was a little nervous and said:

"Three uncles, but this account ...... With the lower officials, with the three of you...... I can't get rid of it......"

Master Shang Shu sneered: "Don't you really think he can find out the clues?" Hmph, don't panic, this Ministry of Rites, everything is under the control of this official, only two hundred taels, what can he find out? ”

Hearing this, the two waiters laughed, and Cheng Wailang also breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this. I thought too, it's been two days, how can I check?

At this moment, Qin Ming returned to the main and guest division, and then found the account book, and then left the main and guest division, and headed towards the palace.

Examine?

Check your uncle's legs, there are only two or three days before the envoys arrive, how much time will it take to find out that the silver is corrupt and make them spit out the silver?

So Qin Ming didn't think about checking it, and even if he did, he didn't feel the need to check it himself.

So pack up the accounts, go directly to the emperor, and show the emperor.

On the first day of duty, there was a problem with the accounts, and it was impossible for him to be killed.

He won't be as brainless as Lord Shangshu Zhou and a few people think, there is a problem with the accounts, you Lord Shangshu is unreasonable and only thinks that Qin Ming is the person in charge of the main and guest division.

Okay, you're a big official, you're awesome, you can do whatever you want.

Then Lao Tzu will find someone more awesome than you to reason with you and see who is awesome.

Along the way, Qin Ming scolded Shangshu and Shilang, and laughed a few times from time to time.

And at this moment, in the hall of the Ministry of Rites, a small official rushed in and said:

"Oh no, my lord, Qin Langzhong went to the direction of the palace with the account books, he didn't sit in the sedan chair, he ran all the way, and he scolded and scolded when he ran."

Lord Shang Shuzhou's face froze, and the two waiters and Cheng Yuanwailang were also shocked.

"This ...... This kid, he doesn't follow common sense...... If this is handed over to His Majesty, although it is only a mere three hundred taels of silver, I will definitely be punished......"

Zuo Shilang's hand trembled slightly and said, "Come on, go and stop him for me." ”

Shang Shu spoke: "Where can they stop it, hurry up, let's go together, don't let him enter the palace." ”

The sedan chair was no longer sitting, Shang Shu and the two waiters and the staff of the host and guest division squeezed a carriage, and a few whips hit the horse's buttocks, urging the horse to drag the carriage to chase Qin Ming quickly.

After a short time, he finally caught up with Qin Ming on the street that was about to approach the palace.

Immediately, the three adults got out of the carriage and stopped Qin Ming, and Qin Ming pretended to be confused:

"Three adults, what are you doing in broad daylight and in front of the public? Look at the three adults so eager...... If the lower official was a woman, wouldn't it be time to shout indecent at this moment? ”

The faces of the three adults were dark, and the people around them laughed, and many people came to see the excitement.

Lord Shangshu Zhou didn't talk nonsense, and said, "Qin Langzhong, go back with this official, right?" ”

"The lower official entered the palace to see that the emperor had something to do." Qin Ming said seriously.

Zuo Shilang's face turned pale, and he said: "Qin Langzhong, isn't it just a matter of money, what a big deal, why bother to make trouble with Your Majesty?" ”

Qin Ming's face froze: "What are these words?" Just now in the hall, the three adults can say that it is very serious, this money is not right, it is not good that the three adults want to ask the subordinate official, this official can't afford it, so let's ask Your Majesty to decide on the investigation. ”

The three adults were eager to devour Qin Ming alive at this moment, but they couldn't.

So Master Shangshu said, "You...... You don't have to go to Your Majesty, the money matter, the official and the two squires are out, you go back and calculate how much the accounts are missing! ”

Qin Ming sneered in his heart, and said, "Don't count, it's five hundred taels." ”

Shang Shu was stunned: "Your Majesty approved a total of three hundred taels, even if all of them are wrong, it is at most three hundred taels, how can it be that there is a difference of five hundred taels?" ”

Qin Ming said: "Then I'll still look for Your Majesty......"

"Don't...... The difference is five hundred taels ...... five hundred taels" Shangshu's heart is dripping blood, this Nima is clearly extorting Qin Ming.

But they can't help it, after all, corruption is not a trivial matter, and His Majesty knows about it, and if they find out their other corruption, the killing is light.

Qin Ming smiled and said, "That money? ”

"Go back with this official, and the three of us will give it to you in private!"

When Lord Shangshu said this, he regretted it in his heart, because Mao wanted to use this broken trick to deal with Qin Ming?

Okay now, right?
