Under Xiao Yuan's instructions, for half a month, Jinyiwei and the Independent Accounting Group conducted an almost strict inventory of the Xuanjia Army.

Not only did they thoroughly inspect the barracks, armory, munitions, and archives of the entire Taihu base. In the Xuanjia Army, which has a total of 40,000 people, middle-level officers are each quarantined and examined. Other ordinary sergeants also randomly selected at least 10,000 people for identity verification to count the empty salaries.

Half a month later, a complete inventory account book was sent by Qin Zhan to Suzhou Mansion.

Because Fang Yuan led Hu Qi to Shaoxing Mansion to take over government affairs, the first person to see this account book was Xiao Yuan, who was in charge of Canglang Pavilion's affairs.

Xiao Yuan flipped through the account books while listening to Qin Zhan's report, "There are 43,000 sergeants on the register, and the actual number of people is 41,300, and 1,700 are paid. ”

"There are 176 officers from more than 100 households, and 13 have been promoted without military merits, including three from 1,000 households and 10 from 100 households."

"There are 8,000 Xuanjia Divine Guns in the arsenal, and 7,730 are actually counted; There are 20 Hongyi cannons on the register, and 20 are actually counted; There are 750 small and medium-sized artillery pieces on the register, and 720 are actually counted; There are 10,000 pairs of explosion-proof armor on the register, and 95 million pairs are actually counted......"

"There are 31,000 horses on the register, and 28,000 are actually counted; There were 103,000 catties of gunpowder on the register, and 98,100 catties were actually counted. ”

"Last year, 700,000 taels of military salaries were allocated, 640,000 taels of silver that could be verified, and the whereabouts of 60,000 taels of silver are unknown."

After Qin Zhan finished reporting, Xiao Yuan also put the account book, and did not ask about the account book, but asked, "Fourth uncle, you went to the Taihu Lake base, did you see what the princess was doing?" ”

Listening to the princess's movements was also one of the tasks that Xiao Yuan gave Qin Zhan for this trip, and Qin Zhan hurriedly reported to her, "The princess locked herself in the house, and I haven't seen her yet. ”

Xiao Yuanxiu frowned slightly, and said with a displeased expression, "Fourth uncle, you are too careless, why don't you come to visit and listen to the truth?" ”

Qin Zhan was embarrassed and said, "The third sister-in-law is keeping an eye on her at any time, and she doesn't let Jinyiwei get close to the princess's bedroom, and I can't do it, so I can't force my way in." ”

Xiao Yuan also knew his difficulties, so he didn't ask any more, and pointed to the thick account book and said, "Has the third uncle confirmed this account book?" ”

Qin Zhan hurriedly said, "Sister-in-law, the records in this account book are absolutely not false, they are all on record, and they have not been handed over to the third child to see, so I will send them to you for your review." ”

Xiao Yuan nodded and said, "Okay, Fourth Uncle, please spend two more days making an account book and reduce the number of inconsistencies in each account to one percent." ”

Qin Zhan was surprised and said, "Sister-in-law, why do you want two account books?" Isn't this a fake account? If the boss knows, then what's the deal? ”

Xiao Yuan looked at him and said angrily, "Fourth uncle, can you be a little responsible?" I've been pretending to be stupid, and I want to throw all the black cauldron to me to carry it, so you're only responsible for slapping the sycophants? ”

Qin Zhan has always been thorough about Xiao Yuan's thoughts, but he pretended to be confused, and Xiao Yuan saw through his thoughts, and smiled awkwardly, "I'll go and make another account book according to my sister-in-law." ”

Three days later, Xiao Yuan summoned Qin Zhan, Jing Jie, and Su Hongyu, and there were two account books at the top of the table. One is a real account and the other is a fake account book that was made.

Xiao Yuan said straight to the point, "Third uncle, these two account books, the left one is the real account book, and the right one is the account book that reduces the number of inconsistencies to one percent. Third uncle and third sister-in-law, take a look! ”

Jing Jie and Su Hongyu spent two hours, flipped through the two account books one by one, and put them on the table upright again.

Su Hongyu said, "Mrs. Yuan, such as Jinyiwei and the independent accounting team, even every tael of silver, every firearm, and every pound of gunpowder have to ask where to go, even the Yue family army that was replaced by Yue Wumu is also full of corruption. I am not convinced by the numbers in this book! ”

Xiao Yuan smiled and said, "Third sister-in-law, do you mean that Jinyiwei and the accounting team should be looking at the flowers and checking the dragonflies?" If the son blames him, we will also be punished! ”

She said to Qin Zhan again, "Fourth uncle, the third sister-in-law just blamed us for not investigating carefully, so that Jinyiwei's impermanence book was recorded and told to Gongzi to know." ”

Qin Zhan responded, but he didn't move, if this kind of broken matter of verbal dispute was reported to Fang Yuan, it would be strange if Fang Yuan didn't throw away the book of impermanence on the spot.

Su Hongyu was speechless by her rebuttal, so she could only keep silent.

"Ruby, don't say a word!"

Jing Jie scolded Su Hongyu and asked, "Since it is the result of the trial by Jinyiwei and the accounting team, what do I not recognize?!" But, why did Mrs. Yuan make two account books? ”

Xiao Yuan did not answer the rhetorical question with an unmoved face, "Third uncle, I really don't understand, you were against the princess marrying the princess before, why do you want to protect the princess now?" ”

Jing Jie Zhengrong said, "The princess is the wife of the boss Ming Media, and I strongly opposed it before because of a loyal word, loyalty to the Xuanjia Army and to the boss; Now he protects the princess because of a righteous word, conscience and justice. ”

"If the princess had been sent back to the capital before, although she would have been widowed, she would still be able to live. Now that Mrs. Yuan has made such a big move, she only poisoned her husband and murdered her, and the princess's reputation was completely ruined. Send her back to the capital at this moment, people are terrible, she still has the face to live in the world? Mrs. Yuan is a princess who is going to die, I will never agree with what you do, let alone condone it! The boss would never agree to Mrs. Yuan's approach! ”

The existence of the princess made Xiao Yuan feel instinctively threatened, and she saw that Jing Jie still didn't know the current affairs, so she said coldly, "Third uncle, what the princess's Wang Tu hegemony needs is not the flowers that grew up in the deep palace like the princess, let alone her ignorance. It's that I can take on heavy responsibilities for my son, and I can also be a good helper in a safe haven. ”

Jing Jie retorted, "Virtuous help? This virtuous character has nothing to do with Mrs. Yuan! The so-called three days should be impressive, and vision and insight can be cultivated; However, the nature of the country is easy to change, but the character and nature are difficult to change. ”

Xiao Yuan was ridiculed by him for his poor character, and said coldly, "Third uncle, we are the same kind of people, we all come up from the bottom with real skills, if you don't rely on extraordinary means, how can you get out of the encirclement?" In the eyes of the third uncle, this is even a bad character. The princess is just reincarnated, with a good father, she is born to enjoy all the glory and wealth, and she can get on the throne without using means, in the eyes of the third uncle, this is good conduct. ”

"Third uncle, if I change to a princess, I won't use the means, and I will also be a white lotus; If the princess were replaced by me, she might be more ruthless than me. Third uncle, ask yourself, is your judgment standard fair?! Are you too harsh on me and too lenient on the princess?! ”

Jing Jie was silent for a moment, and said lightly, "What Mrs. Yuan said is that such a judgment is indeed unfair to Mrs. Yuan, and I retract my previous words of harsh criticism of Mrs. Yuan." However, if the princess is in power, there is still a place for Mrs. Yuan; If Mrs. Ruoyuan is in power, the princess has no way to live. I have no choice but to ask Mrs. Yuan to spare and spare people, and not to kill them all! ”

"Also, Mrs. Yuan is pregnant with the boss's flesh and blood, please rest assured to raise the fetus, don't get angry at every turn, break your body, it's not good for the boss and Mrs. Yuan. If there was a collision before, the third child apologized to Mrs. Yuan. ”

Xiao Yuan saw that he was stubborn to protect the princess on the one hand, and he was concerned about his pregnancy on the other hand, he couldn't cry or laugh, "Okay, I don't have a verbal dispute with the third uncle, these two account books, the third uncle chooses an account book to draw a bet!" ”

Jing Jie and Su Hongyu glanced at each other, they already knew Xiao Yuan's thoughts, she deliberately disguised a fake account book, if Jing Jie wanted to understand her love, she would choose the fake account book with a small amount of vacancies. If Jing Jie didn't want to appreciate it, he would directly hand over the real account books to Fang Yuan.

Jing Jie almost did not hesitate, he took the real account book, signed it on the last page, and took out the coach Shuai seal and stamped it to confirm.

Xiao Yuan looked coldly at the backs of Jing Jie and Su Hongyu leaving, she was angry and angry, she was both happy and angry when she met this kind of third uncle who was upright and would never bow his head.

Jing Jie's actions, anyone will appreciate from the bottom of their hearts, no matter the gentleman or the villain, they will like the gentleman and not the villain. But now it's about the fight between her and the princess, but this gentleman is against herself, how can she not be angry?
