Feng Manlou returned to the yamen, directly found the master of the house, Jiang Yufeng, transferred out this year's river work account book, and took it to check it himself.

Jiang Yufeng knew that things were not good, so he hurriedly came to find Qian Weilun, but Qian Weilun thought about it and said: "It's okay, the account book, he is a weak scholar, and he may not understand it!" ”

The most important thing is that Qian Weilun is confident, and his account book is seamless.

How do you know that the wind is full of buildings, but it is all loopholes.

First of all, the material problem is very serious. Sand, earthwork, etc., sometimes it takes 80 quintals for three days, sometimes it takes 100 quintals for 10 days, and sometimes it takes 100 quintals for five days!

Moreover, what is not used up is not recorded in the account book, and the accounts are clear, but there is nothing that is not matched, and every receipt clause is correct. Qian Weilun thought that the seamless ledger was only superficial.

On this day, Feng Manlou found Qian Weilun, who was drinking tea in his office room!

"Master Qian, there is something wrong with this official, I don't understand, can the question of this account book be answered one or two!" Feng Manlou asked.

Qian Weilun said: "My lord, please ask, the lower officials must know everything!" ”

"Okay, this official asks you, how many workers are there in the river construction of the embankment this year, and how many square earth and stones are used in a day?" Feng Manlou asked.

Qian Weilun said: "There are twenty-seven workers, and forty quintals of earth and stone are used every day!" ”

Forty loads a day, twenty-seven workers, this efficiency is really low. And according to this calculation, some of the workers in the back are tired, and the soil and stone used should be less and less, how can there be more and more?

Such a ledger is only useful for deceiving those who specialize in checking, but it is not reasonable.

Qian Weilun has nothing to say! But he heard the wind full of buildings and said: "Besides, the quality of the embankment is only poor, it is simply tofu scum, if there are so many earth and stones, how can there be such a problem?" The official has visited many times and learned that to build such a dam with tofu slag, where does it take so much soil and rock, less than one-third, and where does the extra two-thirds of the earth and stone go? ”

Qian Weilun was hesitant and didn't know how to deal with it!

Feng Manlou asked again: "Those workers, who work day and night all day long, are buried directly in the embankment when they are exhausted, and now when the water rushes, these bones are washed out, Lord Qian, how can you explain it?" ”

Faced with a series of problems in the wind and buildings, Qian Weilun had no way to explain.

Feng Manlou continued. It turned out that when the construction of the embankment started this year, Qian Weilun found a foreman from other places, and this foreman did not need to say, he must be a fellow countryman with Mr. Qian, because Mr. Qian often spoke some hometown dialect with the foreman.

And those coolies, some are workers from other places, some are homeless people on the streets of Yuhang, Qian Weilun arrested them and sent them to the construction site, because the foreman deducted food, plus there was not enough rest, and there was no night of work, some people died, some people even got sick, some people just broke bones, these people, you are all buried on the embankment, in this way, you saved a lot of wages!

Mr. Qian, tell me, where did the money saved go? If you need human evidence, you need physical evidence, and the official can find it for you at any time!

Qian Weilun faced Feng Manlou's questioning and said with a smile: "Lord Feng, since the day of the rainstorm, Xia Guan has known that this matter cannot be covered at all, so he plans to make it clear to the adults today." ”

"Your Excellency should already know by now, our Yamen officials, Xiao Zhang, Hu Weishan, Wei Zhongshu, my Qian Weilun, my lord should also know, they are all raccoon dogs, yes, they are raccoon dogs, although it is not nice to say, but it is true!" Qian Weilun said.

Feng Manlou was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect Qian Weilun to say so much information, and it seemed that he had gained something from driving.

But I heard Qian Weilun say: "For these, Qian has always been obsessed!" Every year, the river workers kill countless people, and the lower officials are often scared awake in the middle of the night, dreaming that those unjust souls are looking for the lower officials to ask for their lives! ”

Feng Manlou didn't speak, waiting for Qian Weilun to continue.

Qian Weilun continued: "Do you know what we officials have done in Yuhang? This levee is just one of them, and there is also a lot of money from the annual grain and taxes. The actual population of this county has reached 10,000 households, but the number of households reported to the imperial court is 8,000 households, and 2,000 households have hidden taxes in the middle, all of which have fallen into our pockets. There are also various shops, restaurants, Jiyuan, and even Chase Money Village in Yuhang, all of which are ours! ”

What Qian Weilun said was a bit informative, and Feng Manlou didn't dare to interject, for fear of interrupting him, but he listened to Qian Weilun continue: "My lord, do you know how much wealth this is? The money earned from it every year is not more than a million taels, even if it is converted into silver, there are more than 800,000 taels! ”

"Can you spend all this money?" Feng Manlou asked.

Qian Weilun smiled: "Of course you can't spend it!" Therefore, there is an account book, and everyone has a sub-account book in their hands, but in the hands of our grandfather, there is a general ledger! All you have to do is find the general ledger and you'll know everything. ”

Speaking of this, Qian Weilun took another sip of tea and said, "In the past ten years, we have not been promoted or transferred in Yuhang, do you know why?" It's not all this silver, a lot of them are sent to the capital every year, how many people in the capital have received our silver, and how many have secretly spoken for us, do you know? ”

"These people, how much money have they received, what is their position, what is their name, our princess has a book, this account, how many officials in the court are in charge of the evidence of corruption, and how many officials in the court are in charge of the future? Because of this, let's call this ledger a book of life and death! ”

When Qian Weilun said this, he took another sip of tea!

Feng Manlou said curiously: "Are you really Wang Jien's person?" ”

Qian Weilun smiled: "What is Wang Jien? Nothing! In the world, I, Qian Weilun, only listen to one person, as for who this person is, I have no comment! ”

Feng Manlou also smiled and said: "This person, if this official is not mistaken, it should be His Royal Highness King Wei!" ”

Qian Weilun smiled: "Xia Guan didn't say it! In addition, let me tell you a secret, do you know why you came to Yuhang to be the magistrate? ”

Feng Manlou himself also felt strange, it stands to reason that although he won the Jinshi, his grades were not very good, and the top ten did not enter. And according to the rules of the Great Song Dynasty, even if the Jinshi is sent to the local government to be an official, most of them are also observers, the so-called observers, which are equivalent to intern officials in later generations.

Then, Feng Manlou did not have a probationary period directly, and he was still the magistrate of Wangxian County, which is also a very strange thing.

Qian Weilun said with a smile: "Don't think that the official family favors you and the Son of Heaven favors you, these are all fake, the most important thing is that the old man is helping you!" Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you, your name is also in the book of life and death! ”

This is a big secret! Feng Manlou said: "This official didn't accept any bribes from you!" ”

Qian Weilun smiled: "Of course, this is of course!" However, how you got into the position of magistrate is recorded in the book of life and death! ”

Feng Manlou smiled and said, "I see, this official still thinks that it is really important to be a housekeeper, but it is like this!" ”

"The Taigong you are talking about, is it Xiao Taigong? Also, why are you telling me so many things? Feng Manlou asked.

Qian Weilun didn't answer, but said: "You want to get what you want, unless you wait until the Mid-Autumn Festival on the fifteenth day of next month, maybe there is still a chance!" It's full of traps, and no one can get in unless they're their own! There is only one person who knows this mechanism, and maybe it can help you! ”

Feng Manlou asked, "I think who that Taigong is, I already know." Now, I'm curious, why are you telling me these secrets? ”

Qian Weilun took a sip of tea and said, "Guess ......" Before the words were finished, blood was already flowing from the corners of his mouth, and Feng Manlou took a closer look, but found that there was already blood in the teacup.

Feng Manlou was shocked and shouted: "Lord Qian, Lord Qian, surnamed Qian, don't die, don't die!" I still have questions! ”

However, Qian Weilun couldn't answer his question anymore, Qian Weilun committed suicide by taking poison, this is really suicide, not murder like Xiao Zhang at the beginning!

Qian Weilun died, and Feng Manlou locked himself in the yamen for more than ten days! I also eat little, and I have a contemplative expression on my face at all times.

Finally on this day, the weather cleared, and Feng Manlou came out of the room, and saw Dong Chao, Xue Ba, Sun Hu, and Wang Ying all outside, and Xiaoyun was also waiting outside.

Feng Manlou smiled heartily and said, "What is today?" ”

Xiao Yun finally smiled when he saw the wind in the building, and hurriedly leaned up happily and said, "Young master, today is the tenth day of the first month!" ”

"The tenth day of the first month? It's the Mid-Autumn Festival in a few days, and everything should be over! Feng Manlou said with a smile.

Xiaoyun said: "Also, during this time, the young lady has been here twice, but you haven't seen it, and she is very worried about you!" ”

Feng Manlou said: "It's okay, I'll go over and see her later!" By the way, has anyone else come to me? ”

Xiaoyun said: "Yes, Wang Kan sent someone to say that he has been very busy recently!" The young master explained his affairs, and he is preparing, and he will definitely not disappoint the adults when the time comes! “

Feng Manlou asked, "Also, if you guess correctly, there should be a date!" ”

Xiaoyun said: "There is also the little lady of Xiaoxiangyue, the abbot of Shaolin after the 80s, who sent someone to invite the young master to go to Yangzhou Mansion to watch the Oiran Contest on the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival!" ”

Feng Manlou smiled: "Sure enough! That's all there is to it! ”
