Chapter II. 281. There are no secrets

It didn't take long for Qi Hui, who was wearing a 'gold silk handmade Su embroidery' staff suit, to hold a red sandalwood fan bone calligraphy and painting fan, and walked into this teahouse step by step. It's a little strange to say, it's clear that this Qi Hui is dressed up as a rich and noble person in brocade clothes; But now when I sit in this 'inferior teahouse', it will be so harmonious with the surrounding temperament.

The 'nouveau riche' Qi Hui recently made a fortune of 'national hardship', and every day is a very happy and quiet life, and he doesn't even care about the affairs of the Yaren Guild, and pushes all the problems on his senior brother Huangshi, saying that he wants to give himself a 'long vacation'. I don't know where he got so much pressure from a tooth man who sells his mouth for a living.

"Hah...... Owe! I said Lao Yu, why did you call me out so early? ”

Qi Hui sat crookedly on the bench, one foot naturally stepped on the edge of the bench, and he didn't even look at the manager Li opposite, but just stretched out his hand and patted Yu Liang'an on the shoulder.

"Do you dare to call you this big man? This 'little boy' has an account book, which is written in the bookkeeping style of the Nankang people. I can't understand this thing, so I asked Kiko to call you kid......"

Qi Hui couldn't help shaking his head when he heard this, and shook the exquisite folding fan in his hand with a 'swish', while fanning the wind, he compared his outfit up and down, and said to Liang An arrogantly:

"Old Yu, old Yu, if you ask me for dinner and drink, I will definitely come! But don't worry about me anymore for such troubles to make money! Do you still need to bear that sin in my possessions today? If you don't look at it, you don't look at it, and you don't see how much money you give! I'm so big, can I afford that brain? ”

Qi Hui shook his head, picked up the coarse porcelain bowl belonging to Yu Liang'an, raised his hand and poured a full water first, then stood up, arched his hand towards Yu Liang'an, and said goodbye:

"It's the height of summer, and the market is booming, so I won't bother you much. After the sun goes down, I'll come to you again, let's go to Lao Xiao's to drink and eat fish! Farewell! ”

After finishing speaking, he didn't even look at Manager Li, turned his head and left; Manager Li Yu and Manager Li also saw that the original relationship between the two may not be bad, but this little fat man obviously has just made a fortune and has signs of not recognizing poor friends. However, since the two brothers have not torn their faces yet, if this livestock dealer Yu Liang An can help him say good words, he can still be of some use in the future.

Yu Liangan really couldn't resist' his pleading gaze, and hurriedly spoke out to stop Qi Hui, who had already walked to the door:

"Huh? It's only been a few days since our little Qi Ye made a windfall? Don't know any friends anymore? In the capital, you inquire and inquire, who doesn't know that you are now wide and don't need to make hard-earned money! You don't need to tell me this! I'm calling you this time to do my friend a favor. If you want to go, let's go! But if you walk with your feet up today, you will tell your people to go to the mule and horse market in the future. I'm Yu Liang'an, and I don't have a friend like you! ”

I didn't expect his half-truth 'tantrum' to really work! Qi Hui, who had already walked to the door, listened to these words, turned around and sat back again:

"That's right! We brothers can't talk about silver, we can only talk about righteousness! Since you don't want to hit me in the face with money, I can help you see it...... Take it. ”

Li Yu watched this wonderful 'double reed', and Qi returned to this person, naturally there is no doubt that he has him. He carefully took out the ledger from his bosom and looked around before secretly handing it to Qi Hui from under the table.

After watching a pillar of incense, the time passed, and Qi Hui had been babbling something in a whisper. It wasn't until the third pot of tea had been drunk, the thatched house had gone five or six times, and the 'rich man' had returned, that he put down the account book in his hand, let out a sigh of relief, and said:

"This brother, I don't know what the relationship between you and Lao Yu is, but he and I are brothers in life and death. Since you have entrusted it to him, it is equivalent to entrusting it to my head. That's it! I've got to be honest with you, too. There are many parts of this account book that are broken, and we will leave them alone for the time being; But at least as far as I can see, the total amount of debt is about four million pieces of silver; And out of these four million taels of silver, there must be at least three million two hundred and twenty thousand taels of silver in arrears, which is a man-made 'foolish account'......"

When Li Yu heard this amount, he was neither anxious nor afraid. Because this number is obviously beyond the psychological tolerance of a rookie inner court manager.

"Confused? I don't know what Mr. Qi's 'confused account' should explain? ”

"Look at your brother, you are richly dressed and delicate-skinned, and you are not a noble person who does such drudgery as ours to earn a living; This 'confused account' is difficult to say, simple and simple. It is to make the deed of writing when doing business, and try to write it in vague and undefinable language, and finally turn it into a bad debt that no one can say clearly. For example, 'Today, Zhang San borrowed four twenty taels of silver!' 'Brother, tell me, who owes whom the money of Zhang San and Li Si is an IOU written in this way? ”

After Qi Hui explained vividly, he pushed the account book in front of the opposite Manager Li, and then lowered his head and whispered to him:

"Listen to my brother's advice, if the owner of this account is a rich and powerful person, you should still admit bad luck! After all, many of the methods in this account book are all tricks that can only be come up with after a certain degree of familiarity. That is, your home...... Yes! Inside! Thief!. ”

After finishing speaking, Qi Hui stopped talking, arched his hand towards Yu Liang'an with a smile, turned around and walked out of the teahouse; And the manager Li, who humbly asked for advice, also hurriedly borrowed a pen and paper from the shopkeeper of the teahouse, and wrote down the astronomical figures calculated by Qi Hui.

Mr. Li didn't mention how to return to the palace for the time being, but said that the rich man returned, and after leaving the teahouse in the south of the city in the city with three shakes, he didn't dare to delay for a moment, and directly hired a donkey cart and went in the direction of the prime minister's mansion.

Li Fuli, who was sitting at the door smoking a dry cigarette, just saw Qi Hui returning to the burnt bag line, and he burst out with a snort; But before he could say a few words, he saw Qi Hui waving his hand at him and plunged into the study of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

After Shen Gui and Li Deng rushed to the study, they saw Qi Hui, dressed in brocade clothes, bowing down in front of the desk, with a wolf pen flying in his hand, as if he was writing something; As soon as Li Fu wanted to shout, he was stopped by Li Deng waving his hand. After that, the two of them walked lightly into the study and waited for Qi to return to the pen.

"Whew...... I didn't expect that I hadn't read the accounts for too long, and even my memory was much worse. There are some that I have forgotten, some that I don't remember very well, and some that have not been written at all, so you can make do with it. ”

Sweating profusely, Qi Hui sat down in the circle chair behind him. He kept shaking the fan that had just been unfolded in his hand, stretched out his hand to open the neckline a little, and shouted to the door:

"Uncle Fu, give me a bowl of tea, this fucking weather is too hot......"

Shen Gui walked towards the word desk and reprimanded Qi Hui:

"I know that on such a hot day, your heavy body is still dressed like a 'landlord's old wealth', and you didn't suffocate you from the summer heat and prickly heat, which is already a bargain for your kid! How many taels of silver did you earn in total? Can I also burn you into a vice-virtue? If one day you make a fortune, and you can't let the silver burn into the well? ”

"Hey, do you think about it? Who knows where Li Yu's little pickled goods can be entrusted to Luoma City first? Lao Yu is a serious businessman, and he has a mother-in-law and a son at home, so I have to take him out first, right?"

Needless to say, the evidence of the prince's guilt recorded in this account book will come out sooner or later; The Imperial Horse Supervisor was afraid of Liu Banxian, who saw the head and tail of the divine dragon, so naturally he didn't dare to attack Shen Gui; And with Li Fu, a mysterious master, the housekeeper in charge, and the Prime Minister's Mansion, they can't get any bargains.

However, Yu Liang'an, whom Li Yu trusted, is a real 'good citizen', how can he stop those tigers and wolves in the Imperial Horse Prison? And Qi Hui deliberately made this appearance of a 'rich man' who had never seen the world, and he also wanted to wash away the suspicion of Liang An, so that their family could continue to live a stable life.

In the past six months, the name of his return has long been known to everyone on the streets of Fengjing City. If it really comes to the critical juncture of having to 'leak the news', the first object of everyone's subconscious suspicion will be the leader of the tooth people who are walking the streets and alleys. Isn't it normal for such a tooth man who sells his mouth for a living to inadvertently say that he leaked his mouth?

After Shen Guitong read the account book a few times, his mind completely turned into a mess. He carried the pages and shook in the air while 'brushing and brushing', and said to Li Deng with a sad face:

"I really don't know anything about this! Otherwise, you are still a sentient labor father-in-law, and you give this small rebate to the ability to rise, and said? ”

Li Deng looked at the ink all over the page, and then frowned, waved his hand at Shen Gui and said:

"The old man hasn't looked at this thing for many years, and there are already mosquitoes flying in front of him, so how can he count the words if he can't read clearly? Let's go, let's let Changning recalculate, the handful of 'abacus seeds' in the child's hand is still shrewd. ”

Although Qi Hui is the leader of the tooth people, if it is said that he is the account book of breaking three and five and earning money, he is still more familiar than Wan Changning; But now, the 'small flower account' concocted in the hands of the southerners is still more reliable than Wan Changning, the former head of the household.

Wan Changning only flipped a few pages hastily, and then asked for four calculation chips at one time, and the sound of 'crackling' sounded for a short while, Wan Changning looked at Shen Gui with a frown and said:

"The total amount of debt is four million and thirty thousand taels of silver, yes; But the number of unclear accounts in it should be between 3,500,000 taels and 3,800,000 taels. Due to the incomplete account books, I can only do this half-guess......"
