Chapter II. 250
Even though Li Le'an's current identity is a doctor with excellent medical skills, he is no stranger to these accounts from his family. After all, this 'Doctor Li' also has an extremely profound 'child's skill' in terms of accounting.
"This ...... It should be the Great Elder Li Gao, the black book of the public property over the years. Although the bookkeeper uses a pseudonym, judging from the accounts, this person's interference in the Li family's business is extremely complicated, and I think that no one can have such great power and courage except for him Li Gao...... It's a pity that I can't see if the other elders are involved......"
After Li Le'an opened a few pages slightly, he easily determined what was written in the account book. And when Shen Gui heard her last worried words, he shook his head and said with a smile:
"Participation is definitely participation, and the rest is nothing more than the difference between the mastermind and the accomplice, there is no essential difference. What about the others? Anything else to discover? ”
"This ...... This should have been Li Sanlin's black account...... You see, the inkblots of the last few strokes are very new, and the income recorded is probably these beggars......"
When Li Le'an said this, he glanced at the beggars around him who were resting and recuperating from their injuries, and his eyes dimmed. Shen Gui understood her feelings of self-blame, and he didn't continue to ask, he personally stuffed another account book into Li Le'an's hand, and gently patted the back of her smooth and white hand.
Li Le'an felt the warmth from Shen Gui's palm, and seemed to be really calm. After taking a few deep breaths to calm his mood, he opened it again. The accounts handed over by Shen Gui were all recorded in code. In this way, Li Le'an has obviously spent a lot of time. After about a pillar of incense, Li Le'an's face turned pale, and a pair of apricot eyes looked at Shen Gui with wide open eyes and panicked, and pointed to the other two account books.
These three code account books were first 'taken' by Shen Gui from the bookshelf. Judging by the depth of the finger prints on the floating ash, it is obviously the three account books that Li Cai uses most frequently. Li Le'an took the other two secret books handed by Shen Gui, compared them line by line with his fingers, and his delicate lips trembled silently.
This is the first time Shen Gui has watched Li Le'an 'read', but he didn't expect this round little girl to have the problem of 'dyslexia'. Even though her face was already iron-blue, Shen Gui felt that Li Le'an, who was so serious, had a different kind of cuteness.
Time passed quickly, until the sky gradually darkened, Li Le'an finally let out a sigh, and after moving his stiff body, he raised a small round face with a solemn face, and said to Shen Gui in a rather formal tone:
"Although I don't have a comparison book at hand to test, if you interpret it in the way that the Li family is accustomed to, these things are not account books, but like ...... It is like a 'living note' that records the emperor's words and deeds, of course, the person who recorded it is definitely not Yan Zhan or Yan Day, and the initiator of these three records is definitely not the annotator in the palace. …… Well? Do you remember something? So happy? ”
Li Le'an could still talk about business at first, but the more he looked at Shen Gui's expression, the more awkward he felt. He was obviously talking about a very serious thing, why did Shen Gui have such a strange expression of 'forced smile'?
"Ahem...... Nothing, nothing. You just said that these three living notes do not record the daily life of the emperor, which I can understand. After all, this is the Great Wilderness City on Dongyou Road, and it is not the Yan Family Palace in the Scenic City; But can you tell who this person is being spied on? And since these things were 'taken' from the hands of your Li family, did your Li family have the habit of recording such things? ”
Li Le'an shook his head, looked at the three blue account books on the ground and said:
"Never heard of it. The Li family has been a family of merchants since ancient times, and they are not imperial horse supervisors, and they have never had the practice of monitoring other people's every move. Moreover, even the annotators of previous dynasties never had a tradition of writing notes in secret language. After all, this thing is reserved for future generations to write the history of the country, so why prevent others from understanding it? As for the person who is written in the note...... I'm not completely sure, but I guess it's my father'......."
Shen Gui never thought that these three things that were put on the bookshelf would be the 'living notes' that belonged to the Prime Minister of Youbei
In fact, in Li Cai's house, it was found that Li Sanlin and Li Gao's grandson and grandson, and the 'small account' of the deficit clan had damaged the public's wealth, which had long been expected by Shen Gui. After all, although Li Cai is powerful at this time, he is also a slave who serves his master's position after all; After many years of being a slave, there is no 'skill' by his side, and he knows too many secrets, and he will inevitably embark on the road of no return in the future.
And these two 'small flower tents' hidden at home are the 'life talismans' that Li Cai prepared for himself. The reason why it is placed in a small box in the study may also be because he has recently been in the spring breeze, and it is also the 'rising period of his master's career', at least in a short period of time, he will not need these things.
However, these three living notes belonging to Li Deng are definitely not things that he can grasp as a housekeeper of his relatives' descendants. If these three thin booklets fall into Yan Tian's hands, they may still be 'priceless' 'peerless treasures', but in the hands of his Li Cai, they may take his life. As long as there is a little rumor and it falls into Li Deng's ears, not to mention that he is just a housekeeper, even if he is Li Sanlin's father, he will die in vain!
Moreover, according to Li Le'an's statement, it is not only Li Deng's daily life, words and deeds that are recorded on it. There are also many other ways in which Lee Deng 'transgressed'.
You must know that Lee Deng is not a sage prime minister who upholds the style of a 'gentleman,' and the officials who are blessed under his big tree are not humble gentlemen who are willing to be poor and keep to their difficulties. Thousands of miles of officials are for food and clothing, and Li Deng, a businessman-turned-prime minister, understands this very well, so he has never been a man of money.
Putting aside the 'corruption and accumulation of wealth', Li Zilin, the prefect of this great wilderness city, is also the four-grade prefect selected by Li Deng. This kind of cheap behavior, which can be big or small, is an ironclad fact in terms of buying and selling official positions in official affairs, and nepotism in terms of personal morality.
Of course, even if these three account books do not exist, all the officials and people in Youbei, and even Yan Zhan and Yan Day, know very well what kind of 'powerful minister' Li Deng, the prime minister, is; but once it is put on the surface, the situation is completely different.
In the officialdom of the Northern Yan Dynasty, there is such a mantra, which is also regarded as a guideline by officials all over the world: Do more wrong, not do good! Li Deng has been in power for many years, living as the prime minister of the northern part of the country, and managing the household and the ministry of work. You know, these are the two biggest pieces of fat in everyone's eyes! Moreover, even the troublesome work of appointing and dismissing award and evaluation officials, which not only offends people but also easily provokes right and wrong, is also under the management of Li Deng.
Such a powerful prime minister will cause the emperor to be jealous and guarded. In addition, the more times he exercises the power in his hands, the more 'criminal evidence' will fall into the eyes of the world.
This is by no means a question of clean officials and corrupt officials, but a question of human nature.
Not to mention far from it, the mere fact that the state capitals in various localities have collected enough grain from the official warehouses is enough for Li Deng to be pointed out by thousands of people. Especially in the past few years, after watching the group of old people who grew from scratch on Youbei Third Road passed away one after another, there is also a saying among the people about Li Dengqi's family wealth.
The Li family's huge fortune came from the empty treasury and the looting of the people's fat and ointment.
And the old man of Dongyou Road, although he is very aware of the process of the Li family's beginning, should have become his most solid backing; But thanks to his relatives, Li Deng, a 'greedy and cunning' 'giant thief of the country', has an official reputation on Dongyou Road and is even inferior to Fengjing.
Originally, the Li family's base camp had been declining day by day, and now if these three 'living books' fell into the hands of Yan Tian, although they would not ask for Li Deng's head, it would be easy to take advantage of the situation to nail him to the pillar of shame of being a 'national thief and prime minister'.
And for this little couple, the biggest question at present is who will record these living notes that will cause an uproar? Moreover, since there is such a detailed living note, then Li Deng must also have those eyeliner planted by his relatives, and who is this eyeliner lurking in the Prime Minister's Mansion?
Also, are these records backed up at all? Is the person behind the command Li Gao? Li Fu, a subordinate, where did he get these things?
The final answers to these questions will fall on Li Fu and Li Sanlin's master and servant; Since he wanted to know the answer, Shen Gui inevitably wanted to visit Li Sanlin in person. However, in the end, it was single-handedly killed; Or kidnapping people out of the city for lynching and interrogation, Shen Gui hasn't thought about it for a while.
Because in the Great Wilderness City at this time, there is also an unknown Nankang business group; Moreover, the scar man in charge of the dark north who Nan Kangdi listened to is still hidden in the shadows; If Shen Gui went straight to Li Sanlin, he would inevitably move his whole body.
The reason why Shen Gui is so hesitant is because he is not Liu Banxian after all, and the martial arts of the scar man are still unknown.
In the end, Shen Gui still planned to come to the door to 'visit' Li Sanlin. In his opinion, since the Nankang Business Group heard the news, it is not strange that there will be another 'businessman who runs the single gang'.
He directly pretended to be a businessman who placed orders in Huayan Shanggang and met him Li Sanlin. First, let's get to know Li Sanlin for myself; Second, you can also touch the details of the scar man and the Nankang business group by the way.
The reason why he planned it was because he had a piece of Huayan Shanggang token that could not be counterfeited, and with his three-inch incorruptible tongue, how could he not get a Li Sanlin?
As for revealing one's true nature, it's even more impossible! Even if the Li family's eyeliner is all over the north, in terms of the level of painting of the 'portrait' in the Huayu Continent today, the artistic attainments are geometric, and Shen Hui does not dare to judge arbitrarily; But judging from the similarity alone, it's really useless.
As long as he doesn't pat his chest and admit the word 'Shen Gui', forgive them, the relatives of the Li family, and he can only 'meet but not know' his 'aunt'.
