The two of them sat here drinking tea, and the audit over there did not stop, and the sound of the abacus crackled, and everyone's nerves seemed to be held by this voice. Although Liu Shouyou was also talking and laughing with Zhang Whale, in fact, all his attention was on the side of checking the accounts.

"My lord, there's a problem here!"

At this time, suddenly a man raised his hand, holding an account book in his other hand.

Hearing his words, Liu Shouyou hurriedly put down the teacup in his hand and rushed towards the person's table. When he arrived at the man's side, Liu Shouyou couldn't wait to ask, "Where?" Where is it? ”

Zhang Whale also came over at this time, although he was very confident, but his heart was also raised.

The emperor asked him to help Liu Shouyou, if he couldn't find out anything, Zhang Whale didn't know how to explain to the emperor. Now that there is a clue, how could Zhang Whale not be excited, and hurriedly followed.

"My lord, this is it!"

The account keeper pointed to a place in the account book and said: "The purchase cost here is not right, according to the price above, every purchase will lose a sum of silver, although it is not much, but each purchase will be less, and it will accumulate over time, which is really a large amount of silver." ”

"And here, two adults, the villain thinks that the purchase price here is inflated."

"According to the price of the capital, even if you buy the best, the price is three layers lower than what is written above." The bookkeeper said with a serious face: "If it's not that the person who bought it is greedy for ink, then this account is written later." ”

"In order to make up enough money, the quantity and price of purchases were falsely marked."

Zhang Whale and Liu Shouyou glanced at each other, and they both saw the joy in each other's eyes.

Liu Shouyou looked at Mr. Audit, as if he had seen a hungry wolf, his eyes could be said to be shining, these are all treasures!

According to Mr. Bookkeeper, even if it is really a purchase cost, there is no reconciliation in it, and it is obvious that there is greed in it. Thirty percent higher than the best price, will Arsenal buy the best? Don't buy the worst fools, that's good.

Even if it was actually purchased, a large amount of silver had been embezzled.

The key is that Liu Shouyou suspects that the silver purchased was not spent at all, but was directly corrupted, which is just silver on the books. Of course, Liu Shouyou is no stranger to this, and thinking of the breakthrough that is about to be broken, Liu Shouyou suddenly became excited.

Zhang Jing looked at Liu Shouyou and said with a smile: "Governor Liu, our family thinks it's better to control the people of the Arsenal Division first!" ”

"Once the news spreads, these people don't necessarily do anything to control the people first, and then find out the guilty ones. Doing so will also prevent them from colluding and causing unnecessary trouble. ”

"Okay, just do what Grandpa Zhang said!" Liu Shouyou said yes and beckoned to the brocade guard behind him: "Follow me to arrest someone!" ”

Zhang Whale looked at Liu Shouyou's back, a smile appeared on his face, walked straight back to the chair and sat down, and picked up the teacup again. Unlike just now, Zhang Whale, who is drinking tea now, is a little more relieved than just now, and a little more bamboo.

Liu Shouyou had no scruples, he was not less angry in the military department before.

Especially the gang of the Arsenal Division, now that it is finally time to take revenge, they are not afraid to find things, so this time Liu Shouyou is right, and whoever resists, directly let Jinyiwei go up and knock him down.

There was a commotion here, and it was naturally impossible for the bigwigs of the military department not to know.

This time, not only Wang Zhen, the squire of the Ministry of War, came, but also Wu Dui, the secretary of the Ministry of War.

When the two of them came here, they found that Zhang Whale was still sitting there drinking tea, and the people from the Arsenal Division were already guarded by them.

Seeing this scene, both Wu Dui and Wang Zhen all sank in their hearts, obviously they also realized that this must have been found out. A few days ago, Jin Yiwei was not so arrogant, Zhang Whale came, and he didn't dare to be so arrogant.

"It turned out to be Wu Shangshu!"

Seeing Wu Dui, Zhang Jing hurriedly stood up and said with a smile on his face: "Our family went to the military department today on an errand and bothered Wu Shangshu, guilty of sin." If there is anything inappropriate, please take care of Wu Shangshu, after all, we are all on errands for the emperor. ”

Although Zhang Whale spoke in a very polite tone and had a good attitude, what he said was both soft and hard!

Wu Dui naturally heard the meaning of Zhang Whale's words, and the expression on his face did not change, and he still said with a calm face: "Father-in-law Zhang, you are on an errand, naturally no one dares to stop you, but you have detained the officials of the Arsenal Division, why is this?" The emperor didn't let you do this! ”

The words were unkind and the tone was serious, but Zhang Whale didn't care at all.

Even the smile on his face was not reduced in the slightest, Zhang Whale arched his hand at Wu Dui and said, "Wu Shangshu, there is naturally a reason for detaining the big and small officials of the Arsenal Division. Our family has just asked people to check the accounts, and we have already found out what is wrong. ”

"Wu Shangshu, in this account book, every purchase of the Arsenal Division will be less than a sum of silver, each more than a thousand taels, and as little as a few hundred taels. It doesn't seem like much, but how much does the Arsenal buy every year, and how much silver is that? ”

"With these purchases, each one is 30% higher than the market price, where did the 30% go?"

Zhang Whale won't mention the good things and bad things, those things can't be found now, there is no proof of death, it is better to bite the greedy ink of this thirty percent of silver: "How much does the Arsenal Division buy, each one is three percent high, how much silver is this?" ”

Before Wu Dui could speak, someone over there spoke again.

"My lord, there is a problem with this account!"

The bookkeeper held up the account book in his hand and said loudly.

"Say!"

Zhang Whale didn't walk over this time, but said a word loudly.

"This is the account book of the iron material of the Arsenal Division, and each iron material does not match the output, and the material cost is twenty percent higher than usual. Even an ordinary blacksmith wouldn't be that much higher. As he spoke, he pointed to the purchased account book and said, "The purchased account book does not match the material account book here." ”

"Buying is 20% higher, and when using 20%, it is 40% when it is in and out."

"For every purchase of materials, only sixty percent will be used to make ordnance, and of these sixty percent, about forty percent can be used to make ordnance. Twenty percent of them disappeared again in the process of manufacturing ordnance. ”

Hearing this, Zhang Whale smiled: "I bought ten percent of the materials, and in the end only made forty percent of the ordnance, the Arsenal Division is really a good errand!" Saying this, Zhang Whale turned his head to look at Wu Dui.

"Wu Shangshu, our family suppressed these people because they were involved in the case, and now that we haven't found out a single penny, there is an official from the Arsenal Division involved." Zhang Whale had a smile on his face, but his tone was very calm: "Our family is pressing them because we are afraid that they will escape and that they will collude." ”
