Chapter 121: Come Prepared
The next day, the group got up early in the morning. Shangguan Yunyang was the first to sit in the lobby of the inn. His room was not very well chosen, and the movement next door was so great that he didn't sleep well at night, and he was about to have a nervous breakdown.
The second was Rong Zhao, followed by Gu Yanhuo, and the two of them went downstairs almost at the same time. In fact, just now, the two of them staged a big drama in front of Gu Yusheng's door. Both men couldn't wait for the little girl to wake up, push open the door, and the first person they saw was themselves.
But the scramble was fruitless, and they could only take a step back from each other.
Shangguan Yunyang looked at the two of them with a bright face, showed two tiger teeth and asked, "General Xiao Gu, Xiao Gongzi Rong, are you sleeping well?" ”
Gu Yanhuo was a little cold: "Hmm." ”
Rong Zhao showed what it means to be a royal family: "Thank you Brother Yunyang for your concern, it's very good." ”
can be called a brother and sister with others in one night, if it is not for the two of them to have the same smell, it is that Rong Zhao is too powerful. How can such a person with the means entrust a simple little girl to him?
Don't even think about it, there are no doors, and the windows are sealed.
It wasn't until the three of them had already sat down and tasted tea in silence that Gu Yusheng was late wearing a strong suit and tying a high ponytail.
The little girl's face was not very good, pale and weak as white paper, and her eye sockets were still a little black. Looking at it this way, it seems to be a bit like the one that was about to die many years ago.
Shangguan Yunyang was the first to ask: "The fifth girl looks like she didn't sleep well last night." ”
Gu Yusheng nodded, agreeing with Shangguan Yunyang's words. Last night... What else was there last night. When the group came back from Haifengzhuang, it was already four watches, and the little brother who played the watch knocked slowly and quickly, like he was urging his life.
In addition, Gu Yusheng himself suffered internal injuries, and he really saw things that he had never heard of in this life, so he overreacted and vomited for a long time, so he had to stuff two calming pills to get better. But finally the dust settled, and the day was almost dawn, leaving people less than two hours to rest at most. I don't know how these men in front of me are resting, one is more energetic than the other.
Gu Yanhuo said distressedly: "Why didn't you sleep longer?" ”
Gu Yusheng's eyes lit up: "Aren't you going to Haifengzhuang to check the accounts today?" ”
Rong Zhao was a little disagreeable when he heard this: "You are all like this, and you are still thinking about Haifengzhuang?" Don't come back and didn't find your uncle, but put yourself in. ”
"Bah, this girl is very good." Gu Yusheng crossed his hands on his waist and said.
Gu Yanhuo didn't persuade her again, and it wasn't a matter of a day or two that this girl didn't listen to persuasion. Besides, he may not be at ease if he leaves her here alone. It's better to keep it with you at all times, just: "If you encounter something again, you just have to retreat." You don't have to stand in my way. ”
Gu Yusheng lowered his head and hummed obediently, but compared it again in his heart. If she was asked to choose between pushing Gu Yanhuo out to get injured or blocking Gu Yanhuo's injury, she would definitely choose the latter.
Well, Gu Yanhuo's words, the left ear is in and the right ear is out, and the legs and feet are on her, so she naturally has the final say.
"So what are you going to do today?" Shangguan Yunyang still looked like a smiling tiger, "If there is a need, you can tell me, and I will definitely do my best." ”
"Thank you, Brother Yunyang. This was originally a family affair, and it made you..."
"It doesn't matter."
Whether it is a pure family matter or not, the men here know it in their hearts, and they even have their own little abacus.
"I'll find a guy from the inn to report to the officer in a moment." Gu Yanhuo instructed, "We will go to Haifengzhuang to check the accounts after breakfast, and be sure to pull out their fox tails." ”
Rong Zhao was a little disapproving: "Is it useful to report to the official?" If it was useful to report to the official, then the Liu clan would not have sued the imperial city to find someone who could solve the problem. ”
Gu Yusheng pursed his lips: "That Hai Dafu can be said to have torn his face with us yesterday." We were lucky to be able to leave Haifeng Village alive. I think the black-hearted Zhuang is really bold and dares to do anything. ”
Shangguan Yunyang smiled: "Maybe I didn't dare at first. But when they saw you exploring Haifengzhuang at night, they dared again. ”
"Why?"
Gu Yanhuo couldn't restrain himself, stretched out his big palm and rubbed the little girl's head: "Not all outlaws don't want to die from the beginning. It may just be one step at a time, and in the end you find out that you have made a mistake, but you can't turn back. ”
Seeing Gu Yusheng's misty look, Rong Zhao also couldn't bear to explain: "Maybe we stimulated him, if we find something, they may be imprisoned." Rather than this, it is better to fight. If we all shut up, he might have a way to live. ”
Gu Yusheng bowed his head and said that he understood: "Then he wants to kill us, it's useless to report to the official, the official and bandit collude, even if the official family comes, it's useless." ”
"The report is not to solve the matter, I just want to see what is left behind in this Haifengzhuang." Gu Yanhuo said.
So the group came to Haifengzhuang again. The head of the village waited at the door as if he was an unpredictable prophet, and his face was so warm and respectful that the little girl felt that it was not him who saw the man who scolded him in the house yesterday for not being successful enough and more than ruined. The face became a little too fast.
"I knew that you, Your Highness, and the five girls would come. It's been here early in the morning. Hai Dafu said flatteringly.
Rong Zhao's good royal literacy made him laugh and play with him haha: "Haizhuangtou really has a heart." ”
Gu Yanhuo no longer played Tai Chi with him, but said bluntly: "General Ben went back yesterday and thought about it, if the man ran away, it must be because of the bad harvest at home." There is no way to drag the family with him, so I wonder if Hai Zhuangtou can let General Ben check the account books? ”
The other three were all stunned, this is a bit stiff.
But Nahai Dafu was really respectful, and sent the account book to Gu Yanhuo at a glance.
"If the general wants to find out what he wants, he will order." Hai Zhuangtou wiped the sweat from his forehead, and piled several thick account books in the man's arms, "The last one is the general ledger, and the rest are divided accounts." Everything is recorded, and every amount of money passes through whom's hands and what is done. The general looked slowly. ”
Gu Yusheng leaned over, and flipped through a few pages with Gu Yanhuo's hand, this account is indeed as Hai Dafu said, every transaction is clear and clear, it is definitely the best account book of the year, but...
Gu Yusheng tiptoed and whispered to Gu Yanhuo: "It should be a fake account, they are prepared." ”
Gu Yanhuo looked down at her and motioned for her to continue, and the little girl said slowly: "I just saw the tenant page, such a big Haifeng Village is definitely not just so many dozens of tenants. Hai Dafu definitely concealed the tenants and did not report it. And the books are all too clear. ”
Gu Yanhuo raised his eyebrows, and Gu Yusheng explained: "If you just open a small restaurant, even the one who settles the accounts has a back kitchen, and in addition, the one who serves the food is called buying, but there are only five or six people." The flow of people is also controlled within 100 people, and the books will not be so clean. It's common to miss more than one stroke. What's more, such a big Haifengzhuang, the account is too clear, but there are ghosts. ”
As if remembering something, Gu Yusheng hurriedly said to Gu Yanhuo: "You look at the place where you paid taxes last." ”
Gu Yanhuo flipped it to her, only to see that the little girl flipped back and forth a few times by herself, her brows furrowed. This last tax is indeed more than the tax of previous years, and it stands to reason that if Hai Dafu wants to make a false account, there is no reason not to change it, unless, he doesn't feel that this place needs to be changed.
"What's wrong?"
Gu Yusheng didn't know how to explain, so he had to say, "Will we check the wrong direction?" They and Zuo Yan may not..."
"Who reported the crime?"
Several people turned around together and saw that there were three or four people coming, all dressed as government officials.
Shangguan Yunyang just wanted to say that it was reported by himself, but he saw that Haizhuang was bowing his head and a group of officials were looking at each other and said, "It's a small case." ”
The head of the official asked, "What's the matter?" ”
Hai Dafu said with a frightened face: "Yesterday, a tenant died in my village, and she must have killed her." My lord, don't be deceived by her innocent appearance, she must be a murderer! ”
"Where's the evidence?"
Hai Dafu hurriedly took out a bracelet from his arms and handed it to the officer: "This is the evidence, the one found in Dongyuan this morning, such a valuable woman's thing must be hers." ”
Gu Yusheng subconsciously touched his wrist, empty...
"Come on, take it away!"
It turns out that this is Hai Dafu's backhand.
