Chapter 117: What a good man, one shoulder
◎◎◎ Today's first update, ask for a recommendation ticket ◎◎◎
County Lieutenant Zhao was surprised when he heard this, and said: "The official is back on the front foot, and you will be on the back foot, what problem can be investigated so quickly?" Scribe Feng, don't think that if the account book of the pig's head is burned, you can come and deceive the official at will. ”
The old official said with a wry smile on his face: "How dare your subordinates, your lord's words are serious." It stands to reason that subordinates should check carefully, and then report to the adults, but ...... The article that was found out just now seemed to be enough to convict the offender, and the villain knew that the adults were very concerned about this case, so they didn't dare to slack off, so they came to report it immediately. ”
"Is that so?" County Lieutenant Zhao was surprised and delighted, and hurriedly said, "Present it to this official." ”
Scribe Feng took out the account book from his sleeve, leaned in front of him and opened the account book and pointed: "My lord, please look here, this line, it says, in the fifth year of Qiande, on the eighth day of the sixth month, live as Liu Zihan's poplin ten horses, fold one hundred and twelve times, silk thirteen horses, fold one hundred and ten times, twenty pieces of cloth, fold thirty times; Silk is six taels per catty, and it is folded into fifteen ......, totaling 1,420 ......"
Clerk Feng read it sentence by sentence, and County Lieutenant Zhao looked at it carefully, and sure enough, it was word for word, and he couldn't help but straighten his eyes, and said in surprise: "How is it possible, how is this possible, these things are all more than ten times higher than the market price." Since Liu Fu pawned these things, it should be lower than the market price. Even if he is the Bazhou Mansion, the Ding family does not dare to make his money, and it is enough to just redeem it evenly. Now the Ding family is redeeming pawns at a price ten times higher than the market price, which ...... This is to say that he Liu Zihan is not a bribe, who else is willing to believe it? Didn't you notice this flaw the last time you took inventory? ”
Scrivener Feng said with a bitter face: "Lord Hui, the Ding family's account books over the years are many and miscellaneous, and the subordinates have checked the books one by one, and they are dazzled, and their heads are big, at that time, they only had to pay attention to the price and purchase of each account, whether there is any difference in the ins and outs, and they have not all been checked, so the adults ordered the Ding family to come out to clean up the account books, and the subordinates are old and confused, and now I really can't remember whether this part has been checked." ”
County Lieutenant Zhao's eyebrows jumped, and he pressed his heart and said excitedly: "Go, you go back immediately, mark this suspicious point first, and continue to investigate." If there is any problem with the entire account book, find out all of them, and report them to the official as soon as possible. Remember, keep quiet! ”
Scribe Feng hurriedly said: "My subordinates understand, my lord, don't worry." ”
The old official bowed and retreated, and County Lieutenant Zhao stood at the table, thinking about it for a while, just like when the old official just entered the door, he rolled his eyes, with a strange look, and muttered to himself: "Strange, as long as someone who doesn't know the accounts of this official can see it clearly and understand as long as someone gives a little guidance, Xu Muchen will not be able to see it?" But...... His signature painting is still there, such an obvious loophole, how could he be willing to draw the charge in the first place, what is this suspicious of confession? What did Ding Hao do? ”
"No matter what, with the account books in hand, I have done a great job. Haha, this time, there will always be a face in front of Zhao Xianggong, his surname is Zhao, and I am also surnamed Zhao, Zhao Xianggong only needs to do a little support, and I will work hard for ten years and may not be promoted, this time I will take a big step forward. ”
The more County Lieutenant Zhao thought about it, the more beautiful it became, so he grabbed the teacup and swallowed the tea in one gulp.
"Vomit...... Vomit...... Ah......" County Lieutenant Zhao was so happy and sad that he forgot that the tea had just been brewed, and swallowed it in one gulp, which made him burst into tears.
At this moment, two more old officials crept in, stood behind them and called, "My lord." ”
County Lieutenant Zhao turned around with tears in his eyes, and the two old officials were taken aback when they saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern: "My lord, why are you so sad?" ”
County Lieutenant Zhao said angrily: "This official is sad and fartful! ”
He sighed twice, and then waved his hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense, let go of a fart quickly." ”
"Uh...... Yes," the old official gave him a strange look, and then said: "My lord, this book is the account of the pig's head to solve the treasury, and the old man carefully checked it for a long time, but only a rough calculation, and found that the profit amount is very different from the money handed over to the Ding Mansion......"
Another old official hurriedly expressed his merit and said: "My lord, my subordinates have found that there are often things that are sold in advance for the pig's head untied, and the customers come to redeem them, but they can only be compensated at a high price. It's okay for this kind of thing to happen occasionally, but not only do there frequent mistakes in the pig's head destacking, but the amount of compensation is surprisingly high. After learning about the strangeness found by Zhang Shushi, his subordinates hurriedly estimated it, and found that the job should be sold in advance, and then the customer came to redeem it, and the matter that could only be compensated at a high price, the date of occurrence and the amount of compensation were about the same. It seems that Xu Muchen has the possibility of deceiving the proprietor by falsifying accounts. ”
"Oh?" When Zhao County Lieutenant heard this, he didn't care that his throat was still uncomfortable, he knew that he was a layman to the accounts, and he didn't take it anymore, so he directly ordered: "You go back immediately, sort out all the doubts in the entire account book, and hurry up, and hand it over to the official as soon as it is sorted out." ”
The two old officials were about to leave, but County Lieutenant Zhao called them again, and said with a pleasant face: "This official is seconded to Bazhou to handle the case, and the scribes have always been very dedicated to this official, and this official has always kept it in mind, it is really hard for you." ”
The two old officials were flattered and thanked them again and again, and County Lieutenant Zhao took out the usual money from his arms and said, "Take this, buy a cup of tea and drink." When the case is settled, the official should hold a banquet to thank you. ”
At this time, the two old officials showed a real smile, thanked them again and again, and apologized before taking the money and leaving the room. The two of them happily returned to their errand house, and saw that the scribe Feng was worshipping King Cang in a solemn and heavy place, and the two couldn't help laughing: "Old Feng, you have received a reward from the county lieutenant, and you are so happy to worship King Cang." ”
Scribe Feng ignored them either, he bowed respectfully to the small wooden niche in the middle of the wall, and then turned around and said, "Close the door." ”
When the two old officials saw him, they couldn't help but look at each other, and they didn't dare to say more, so they closed the door immediately. Behind the door is hung the yashen, and the scribe Feng is worshipping again.
Cangwang is the legendary Cangjie who made words, and the yashen is Xiao He, the prime minister of the early Han Dynasty. The rice bowl of the knife and pen officials is to play the pen to make records, stack copywriting, and settle accounts, according to the rules of "100 skills, each worship a god", naturally to worship Cangjie. As for the god Xiao He, it is because Xiao He was originally born as a sword and pen official in a small county town, and he was mixed into the founding prime minister with the background of a sword and pen officer.
After he finished worshipping King Cang and Yashen solemnly, the two old officials walked over in surprise and said: "Lao Feng, this is not early, what do you mean by worshipping King Cang and Yashen so solemnly?" ”
There are only three old officials in this room, Feng Shuyi is the eldest, and the other two are named Li Qunzhou and Lin Shuyang, who are slightly younger than him. I don't know how many stubbles have been changed in the officials in this yamen, and even the rivers and mountains have changed a few emperors to sit, but these old officials are thunderous and unmoving, and they have always been on errands here.
Scribe Feng sat down behind his bookcase, and said coldly while studying the ink: "Although I haven't finished reading the account books of the pig's head library, most of them have an impression. You two old guys, you have been settling accounts all your life, and I don't believe you can't even remember the slightest bit. But...... Now look at it, what is written in the account? ”
Lin Zhiyang and Li Qunzhou looked at each other and were silent.
Scribe Feng said again: "Liu Fuzun has not received the benefits of the Ding family, don't you know? Even we have taken the benefits of the Ding family. But look at it now, all the sins on the account were taken down by Xu Muchen, judging from that account, he was the one who bribed the Lord of Futai, and it was he who deceived the Ding family and embezzled money, Xu Muchen, we have dealt with him for half our lives, what a powerful character he is, don't you know? With his heart, like a master who is willing to take care of others? But we can see the problem of the account book at a glance, and every time he comes back, he stares at it for a long time, and now he has signed it like this. This thing, evil nature! If it weren't for the ghost's confusion, the old man really couldn't figure out why he did this. ”
Speaking of this, he stopped grinding, looked around, lowered his voice and said sneakily: "I heard that the steward of the Ding family was originally a stupid man, and everyone in the village called him dumb. But one day he was dying of a high fever, and suddenly returned his soul, and since then, people have become smart, and the people on Zhuangzi say that he is a god whose soul is out of the body, and he has met the fox fairy and ignited. Maybe, maybe, ....... This trip, let's do it well, the mouth, you have to be strict, don't talk nonsense that shouldn't be said, do what you want to do, see that we are the age of telling the old man to return to his hometown and make fun of his grandson, but don't make a big mistake in this matter. ”
Lin Zhiyang and Li Qunzhou couldn't help but feel apprehensive when they heard this, Lin Zhiyang stood up nervously and said, "What Lao Feng said is reasonable. Come on, let's worship the two brothers, King Cang is the god, Xiao God is a nobleman, worship it, and borrow the fairy spirit of the two gods to bless you, so as not to hit the evil. ”;
