Zhang Maoxiu looked very carefully. At first, he nodded frequently, and the account books of Guangzhou Mansion were very detailed, and every expenditure would be clearly recorded in the book.

This made Zhang Maoxiu very satisfied. He even thought that he could end his inspection of Fucheng early and go to Xiangshan County.

But looking at it, Zhang Maoxiu's thoughts changed.

The book is so complete and perfect that there is no blemish at all.

Although Zhang Maoxiu was born in a wealthy family, he is not a noble son who does not understand the world. In his opinion, there must be something wrong with this.

Is it that the prefect of Guangzhou does not want him to see the actual situation and makes some changes in the account books?

In any case, Zhang Maoxiu decided to give it a try.

"Someone's coming."

As soon as Zhang Maoxiu's words fell, Sun Youcai, the household scrivener, walked in quickly.

"What do you command?"

"The official asks you, are all the account books of the government here?"

"If you go back to your lordship, it's all here."

Sun Youcai said respectfully.

"Bold!"

Zhang Maoxiu was suddenly furious, which frightened Sun Youcai.

"This official just looked at the account books and found that although the accounts were stable, they seemed to be deliberately hiding something. Are you, as a household scrivener, completely unaware? ”

Faced with Zhang Maoxiu's fierce questioning, Sun Youcai was a little confused at first. But gradually he regained his composure.

It seems that there is no conclusive evidence that the account books are forged. Everything he said was speculation!

As long as it's speculation, it's easy to do, because there is no real evidence in the hands of Lord Goshi. It is impossible to convict oneself without real evidence. In this case, as long as Sun Youcai is sure that there is no problem with this account book, Lord Yushi has no way to deal with him.

After all, the Ming Dynasty is a country that pays attention to the law, and it is impossible to arrest people without real evidence.

Thinking of this, Sun Youcai was a little settled in his heart. He took a deep breath and said in a harmonious voice, "Lord Hui, there is indeed no problem with this account book. If there is something that adults don't understand, the villain can answer it for adults! ”

"Presumptuous!"

Zhang Mao's nostrils smoked.

He is the son of Shoufu, and he is the champion of today's hand-picked. Which official saw him was not respectful and obedient.

But what about today? A government official dared to contradict himself.

If he hadn't made it clear. But he had already made it clear that there was something wrong with the account books, but this little official didn't repent, and still lied that the account books were these, he really didn't know whether he was alive or dead!

"Come on, go and call Governor Lu."

Zhang Maoxiu felt that there was really no need to quarrel with a small household scrivener, which would be too bad for his identity, so he simply told Lu Zhiqian directly.

He even felt that if Lu Zhiqian had not instructed him to do anything about this matter, a little scribe would never dare to interfere with it.

"The villain will go and invite the mansion to come."

Sun Youcai was also interested, and immediately turned around and left.

After a while, Lu Zhiqian hurriedly came, and as soon as he entered the main hall, he accompanied him with a smile and confessed: "Forgive me, Lord Zhang, the people below can't speak, and they collided with your tiger power." If you have any commandments, please tell them to the officer. ”

Zhang Maoxiu coughed and said: "The official just thinks that there are some problems with these account books and wants to confirm some with him, but this guy insists that there is no problem with the account books, could it be that the official deliberately made things difficult for him?" ”

Lu Zhiqian sighed in his heart, and Zhang Maoxiu was still suspicious of him. Fortunately, Zhang Maoxiu does not have any substantial evidence in his hands now, and the situation can be recovered.

He thought for a moment, and then said slowly: "Master Zhang doesn't know that the account books of Guangzhou Mansion are cumbersome and complicated, and it is impossible for Sun Shushu to know them all. If you have any doubts, you may send other household scribes to cooperate with you. However, in the opinion of this official, it is impossible to check the account books without ten days and half a month. This is not in a hurry, it is better for Lord Zhang to calm down and check slowly. ”

Zhang Maoxiu nodded lightly.

He didn't expect Lu Zhiqian to cooperate with him so much. Could it be that his intuition was wrong before, and this Lu Zhiqian did not do anything in the account books?

In any case, since the other party has shown a strong attitude of cooperation, it is impossible for Zhang Maoxiu to reach out and hit the smiling person.

"Thank you Lu Futai, then Sun Shushu must have no malice, and Lu Futai doesn't have to punish him."

"Haha, Lord Zhang is kind... By the way, it's about to be dinner, why don't we go to Hechun Mansion together? ”

Zhang Maoxiu thought about it carefully, and there was indeed no reason to refuse. Although he himself doesn't really like this kind of socializing, now is clearly not the time to turn his face.

"That's all well and good, but don't be extravagant."

"Of course, of course."

Lu Zhiqian was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly responded.

...

...

In the private room on the second floor of the Hechun Building, the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras is endless.

Zhang Maoxiu and Lu Zhiqian pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

It's just that he felt a little drowsy in his head, and he didn't care about it at first, but as he drank more alcohol, this feeling became stronger and stronger, and even the scenes of the characters in front of him began to ghost.

Could it be that he was drunk? Zhang Maoxiu asked himself that he was not strong enough to drink, but he did not get drunk when he got drunk.

It's just a few more drinks today, how can I get groggy in my head, it's really strange!

"This official is not strong enough to drink, I'm afraid I can't drink anymore today. The official then returned to the procuratorate. ”

Zhang Mao Xiuqiang stood up and was about to walk out, but his legs were weak and he almost fell to the ground.

Lu Zhiqian hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhang Maoxiu and helped him sit down.

"Master Zhang must have drunk too much, let's drink some sobering tea first."

Governor Lu enthusiastically ordered a pot of sobering tea, and then personally poured a cup for Zhang Maoxiu.

Zhang Maoxiu was disgusted with his ugliness, but there was no way to do it, so he had to thank Lu Zhiqian for taking the sobering tea and pouring it down.

It's just that this decanting tea didn't seem to have a role, and Zhang Mao fell drunk on the wine table after a while, snoring like thunder.

The smile on Lu Zhiqian's face suddenly disappeared, and he snorted coldly: "Come on, send Master Zhang to Lichun Courtyard." ”

Immediately came in four big men, they were all Lu Zhiqian's henchmen, and without saying a word, Zhang Maoxiu lifted him out of the restaurant.

The four of them carried Zhang Maoxiu into the carriage in front of the restaurant and sat in the carriage one after another, and the coachman waved his whip, and the carriage headed towards Lichun Courtyard.

At this time, it was the time when the lights were on, and the front of Lichun Courtyard was full of luxuriously decorated carriages.

As soon as the carriage that Zhang Maoxiu was sitting in stopped, the four big men lifted Zhang Maoxiu down and walked straight towards the Lichun courtyard.

The people of Riharuin had obviously been greeted, and immediately a person came out to lead the way.

The four big men carried Zhang Maoxiu to a room in the north corner of the second floor, and then looked at each other and walked outside the house to guard.

Their job is to stay here until dawn.

At the same time, a red man named Xiuniang in the house had already begun to remove Zhang Maoxiu's clothes, first the outer robe, then the inner shirt, and finally the middle coat, until he was taken off naked.
