Ding Hao was busy in the yamen for three days, combed through all the account books, marked all the large transactions in the account books, arranged them in chronological order and the identity of the patrons, and began to re-transcribe them on the fourth day.

When Ding Hao began to transcribe the account books, he was really hard, and he didn't even leave the mansion at noon. He ordered meals at several famous restaurants, and the restaurants would deliver them to his door at noon every day. Of course, there are two more servings of wine and food, and the two errand officers who guard the door are naturally indispensable to enjoy the feast.

The delicious and delicious fish soup, spread on the crystal ice and snow, only a thin layer of fresh and tender fish fillet, these two Yacha are still the first time in their lives to enjoy, I heard that just a dish costs fifteen hanging money, two errand officials eat a bite, a heavy string of copper coins appeared in their minds, a meal, and then look at Ding Hao, as if looking at the God of Wealth in awe.

Ding Hao screened the account books in the government office for five days, and the first batch of new account books that had been sorted out had been transcribed. He notified the county lieutenant Zhao and asked Xu Muchen to come to the government to look at and confirm. Zhao County Wei was impatient to wait, and immediately sent the public to the pig's head lane to solve the warehouse to bring Xu Muchen.

Xu Muchen doesn't have to report to the government every day these days, it stands to reason that he is much more leisurely, but he can't go to deal with those adults who handle cases every day, which is inevitably suspicious and apprehensive, and life is even more difficult. He didn't say it on the surface, but all of this was tied to the yamen of the state capital. As soon as he heard the public summons, Xu Muchen couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately went out of the warehouse and went straight to the mansion.

Xu Muchen entered the mansion, followed the messenger straight to the west across the courtyard, and halfway through, suddenly a person came out of a room, stood there and said in a loud voice: "The person who came is the shopkeeper Xu of the pig's head alley?" ”

The messenger stopped and turned his head to look, "ouch", and hurriedly trotted forward to salute: "Cheng Abshi, you have good eyesight, this person is Cheng Zhi's shopkeeper, what does Cheng Abshi's command?" ”

Cheng Dexuan smiled and walked down the steps slowly, Xu Muchen looked at him fixedly, and seemed to have some impressions. I remember that the last time Chen Guanguan from Beijing personally mentioned him to the court to ask about the case, this young man stood on the side of the lobby, smiling kindly, and never said a word from beginning to end. ”

Cheng Dexuan said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Xu, how did you explain the bribe to Governor Liu in Pig's Head Lane?" ”

Xu Muchen was shocked and said, "Why did Cheng Zhisi say this? The depot of Pig's Head Lane is the property of the Ding family, and the Ding family is a squire who abides by his duty in Bazhou, how could he bribe officials and do that illegal thing. ”

Cheng Dexuan was not annoyed, and said with a smile: "Do you keep your duty, speak on evidence." The Ding family is in Bazhou, it is indeed a big family with a famous side, over the years, the grain grown has been sold to the imperial court soldiers and horses, if there is no illegal act, it is still meritorious to the imperial court. But...... If there is really something illegal ......, the shopkeeper Xu's ......"

Xu Muchen hurriedly took a step forward and said with his hands crossed: "The grass people are here." ”

"Shopkeeper Xu, you are just a person hired by the Ding family, and the crime of bribery could not have fallen on your head, but if you are obsessed and cover up on behalf of the Ding family and deceive the government, once the evidence is caught, it will be the crime of complicity and cover-up."

Speaking of this, his smile was a little cold: "Your Ding family is a well-known family in Bazhou, and we will not torture to extract confessions without evidence, but you'd better not be lucky because of this, thinking that you can fool the past." Once we catch the credentials, the Ding family can't run, and you can't run either, so don't make a mistake with the shopkeeper Xu. ”

Xu Muchen said in his heart: "If you can recruit it, the old man will recruit it a long time ago." However, I took the opportunity to bribe the Ding Mansion, and I don't know how many illegal things I did in private, pulling up Luo Bu and bringing up the mud, this confession is bound to be impossible to hide, the Ding family is down, and I am finished, this Cheng Zhusi is a young man, thinking that a few words can get me to confess according to the truth? ”

He accompanied him with a smirk, and replied in a loud voice: "Yes, yes, Cheng Zhusi's golden and jade words are remembered by the grass people." But what the grass people did was innocent, and there was really nothing to confess, so I asked Cheng Zhu Si to know it. ”

Cheng Dexuan looked up to the sky and snorted, paced in front of him, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said coldly: "Good medicine is bitter, Xu is a smart person, you had better think carefully about the words of this boss." This charge division is in Kaifeng Nanya to run an errand, how can there be a lot of spare work spent in this Bazhou, you don't want to test the patience of this charge division. ”

Xu Muchen secretly sneered, but his face was humble, he bowed his waist and sent Cheng Zhisi away very respectfully. When Cheng Zhiji was far away, the messenger shouted, "What else to see, let's go quickly." ”

Xu Muchen turned around and continued to move forward with him, and when he arrived at the west courtyard, he crossed the high threshold with his robe, Xu Muchen suddenly thought about it, he stopped and chewed Cheng Dexuan's words twice, and secretly doubted: "Strange, this Cheng Zhisi doesn't seem to be intimidating, but seems to be emboldened for me." What Ding family has been in Bazhou for many years, collecting and selling grain to the imperial court, if there is no illegal behavior, it is meritorious to the imperial court. There is no evidence to extort confessions, and once they catch the evidence, what will happen. If I have the intention to conceal it, isn't listening to these words equivalent to taking a reassuring pill? Although Cheng Zhisi is a young man, after all, he is a priest, and these officials are even more slippery than the officials, how can they not know the depth of their speech? ”

The duke in front of him walked a few steps, and when he looked back, he didn't know what he was thinking when he was staring at a few large vats in the corner of the wall with his beard twisted, so he said angrily: "Why can't you stop?" ”

Xu Muchen hurriedly caught up with two steps and said with a smile: "This grandfather, why are there four big vat in the corner?" ”

"This state yamen is still left over from the previous dynasty, many houses are old and decaying, and they are often drained, and there are not many large vats, and the yamen of this state capital has long been burned to the ground." The duke said, glanced at Xu Muchen, and sneered: "You old man is interesting, you are in trouble, and you have the leisure to take care of these idle things." ”

Xu Muchen said with a smile: "There are no ghosts in the old man's heart, so he is naturally at ease. ”

The duke smiled "hehe", stopped talking, turned around and led him forward, Xu Muchen followed behind, and thought to himself: "I heard that Zhao Guangyi and Zhao Pu of Nanya have always been at odds, could it be that this Cheng Zhisi of Nanya actually came to drag Chen to observe and fight against Zhao Xianggong?" ”

When he walked into the remote hut and saw Ding Hao wearing a shoulder and sweating profusely, Xu Muchen was calm, just like looking at a poor worm who was busy but had nothing to do......

"Shopkeeper Xu, you're here. Hehe, this is the account book that Ding has sorted out during this period of time, and there is the eye of the shopkeeper of Lao Xu, if there is no mistake, please sign and draw it. Ding Hao saw Xu Muchen, but he was polite, as if he didn't see the mocking smile on his face at all, got up and wiped his sweat, and handed over the transcribed account book.

Xu Muchen arrogantly took the account book, walked to the side and put it on the table, raised his robe, sat down upright, and then took the account book and opened it to watch. When the account book was opened, Xu Muchen was stunned at first, and then laughed.

Ding Hao stood next to him, like a shy elementary school student, and said very shyly: "Ashamed, ashamed, Ding's handwriting is really too ugly, but it makes the shopkeeper Xu's joke." ”

Xu Muchen couldn't help laughing out loud again, in fact, Ding Hao has many ancient characters that he can't write, but fortunately, this is transcribing old accounts, and all the words that can't be copied can be copied from it, and occasionally there are a few mistakes, which is understandable. It's just that...... With such an ugly character written by him, Xu Muchen is really the first time in his life to see it.

Ding Hao's hand brush writing is miserable, a line of words written on the white paper crookedly not looked, at first he also on the white paper himself hit the vertical grid, and then it seemed to be troublesome, this vertical line is not drawn, so that line of words is like a willow branch under the wind, suddenly drifting to the left, suddenly shaking to the right, people who look dizzy.

Not to mention, and some of the characters he wrote were large, some were small, and one big character was enough to be worth three small characters, and I am afraid that only a student who had just studied for three days in a private school would write such a dog-like word. is such a thing that doesn't learn and has no skills, and actually wants to find him Xu Muchen's handle in the account book, isn't it ridiculous in the world?

He laughed, and Ding Hao laughed too. He laughed, Ding Hao also laughed, Ding Hao said ashamed, but that smug look, it seems that being able to write words is already a great ability, how can he really be ashamed. Xu Muchen smiled and brushed the ground, his expression sank, and he looked down at the account book, and Ding Hao, who was standing next to him, ignored him. The two officials at the door were a little uncomfortable for Ding Hao when they were ridiculed like this, Ding Hao was relieved, and looked at it for a while, seeing that Xu Muchen was focused on the account books and didn't want to pay attention to him at all, so he touched his nose, wiped a puddle of ink on his hand into a black nose, and then returned to his seat like a clown, grabbed the brush, gritted his teeth and continued to splash ink.

Xu Muchen didn't believe that Ding Hao could find any traces from the account books, but he was afraid that Ding Hao would make a fuss in the account books, although the ugly words on that hand were really difficult to see, he still read them word by word, and refused to reveal a line. After reading this account book, Xu Muchen really looked like a bucket.

The ugly handwriting only tormented his eyeballs. But this Ding Hao didn't even understand the wording and sentences, the text at that time had no punctuation, this line was crooked, big and small, and the word order was inverted from time to time, and Xu Muchen was dizzy when he looked at it.

After finally reading it, Xu Muchen threw the account book on the table and let out a long sigh. God, if Chen Guanguan, who was sent by Beijing to investigate the case, forced him to look at three account books written by Ding Hao every day, he really didn't know if he would be "beaten into a trick", and he would happily agree to any charge against him.

The account book was thrown on the table, and there was a bang, and Ding Hao, who was struggling to write over there, immediately raised his head, and when he saw that Xu Muchen was making a long howl in the sky, he hurriedly threw away the brush "horn", and happily stepped forward and said: "Xu shopkeeper, Ding's account, is it okay?" ”

"Haha, yes, really good." Xu Muchen couldn't help but smile and nodded again and again.

Ding Hao was overjoyed, rubbed his hands, and approached with his black nose and asked, "So...... Is there any inaccuracy in what is written? ”

Xu Muchen said: "No." ”

"Haha, that's good, in this case, please ask the shopkeeper Xu's signature to sign it. I'm relieved, in order to clean up this messy account book, Ding wrote that his head is as big as a fight. ”

Xu Muchen said sympathetically: "That's certain, and the old man is as big as a fight." ”

Ding Hao didn't seem to hear the mockery, he excitedly held the pen and ink and the ink box, Xu Muchen glanced at him, lifted the pen and dipped it in ink, spread out the account book and began to sign page by page. He twisted the pages with a few fingers on his left hand, and with his right hand he held a pen on his wrist, and inscribed his name in the lower right corner of the page. Dozens of pages of account books, Xu Muchen hung his wrist and held a pen, all in one go, turning the page, signing, without stagnation, the flowing movements have an indescribable elegant beauty, this kung fu is not decades of old accounts, it can't be practiced.

After Xu Muchen signed the account book from beginning to end, he took the ink again, and stamped his fingerprints page by page, then he pulled a piece of paper, and slowly wiped the ink on his fingers, while smiling: "After reading the account books you cleaned up, the old man understood what the old man meant by sending you." Why are you willing to do this errand, the old man is also clear in his heart. ”

Ding Hao blinked and said with a smile: "What does the master mean, and what does Ding Hao mean?" ”

Xu Muchen threw the paper ball in his hand to the ground, and said with a smile: "Last time, you wanted to find the old man's fork, but you were sent to the suburbs to dig a river, probably you have been dissatisfied in your heart, right?" Hehe, Ding Hao, after an acquaintance, the old man has a good word to persuade him, I don't know if you are willing to listen? ”

Ding Hao said happily: "Shopkeeper Xu, please give me a lot of advice." ”

Xu Muchen's eyelids twitched, and he said earnestly: "The old man advises you, let's go back and dig the river." If the river is dug and the ditch is dug, then it is the right job for you! After Xu Muchen finished speaking, he put his hands behind his back and walked out proudly.

Ding Hao stood in the room, looking at his back as he left, the corners of his mouth were crooked, and he said to himself with a smile: "Shopkeeper Xu is so reasonable, aren't I digging a ditch for you......"

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Xu Muchen walked out of the gate of the mansion, and the carriage of the pig's head unpacking the warehouse immediately rushed over, as soon as the car stopped, as soon as the sedan curtain was lifted, Wang Er's shopkeeper came out of it, and asked nervously: "The big shopkeeper, how is the account check?" ”

Wang Zhizhou was really relieved, and he didn't know what Ding Hao was doing. As soon as Xu Muchen left, he ordered the store to be closed, and he hurriedly chased to the yamen of the state capital, and when he saw Xu Muchen's carriage, he went to wait for him on the car.

Xu Muchen got into the car and ordered, "Go back!" After speaking, he put the sedan curtain down and sneered: "Let Ding Hao check the account, and the more he checks, the more confused he becomes." ”

He thought about it, this Wang Zhizhou is his confidant, this person's biggest shortcoming is that he is timid, he has to try to stabilize him, so as not to catch fire in the backyard, so he told him about his entry into the mansion and "encountered" Cheng Zhisi in Kaifeng Mansion, and then said with a smile: "Now you are relieved?" It's also getting more energetic up there. Governor Liu's mansion has collapsed, and Zhao Xianggong wants to try to find some of his crimes, because he wants to be famous, so as not to be criticized for his narrow-mindedness and personal vendettas. Kaifeng Mansion sent people to try their best to obstruct it, just thinking that the fewer crimes that fell on Governor Liu, the better. Zhao Xianggong is now in the holy family, even if Kaifeng Mansion Yin is the current emperor's brother, he can't defeat him, Nanya is a plan to accumulate and destroy money, accumulate slander and sharpen bones. ”

Wang Zhizhou clapped his fist excitedly, and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, I'll rest assured, as long as we delay a little longer, these high-ranking people from Beijing will get nothing, and they will definitely have no intention of spending more time here, and our catastrophe will be over." Hey! Ding Hao, this kid, is beyond his means, a newly promoted steward, he doesn't know how to be a man with his tail between his legs, and he dares to go against the old shopkeeper again and again, and he has to rectify him when the time comes. ”

Xu Muchen snorted without smiling, covered his mouth and coughed, and said, "You go find a few splashes, keep an eye on Ding Hao, take a chance, and teach him a good lesson." ”

Wang Zhizhou was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "Old shopkeeper, you mean...... Just these two days? Before the case is closed? ”

Xu Muchen smiled faintly, his eyes closed slightly, and he said: "Yes, do what the old man says, remember to tell them, don't beat that Ding Hao can't move, this account ...... The old man still wants him to continue to investigate. ”

Wang Zhizhou hesitated: "The old shopkeeper, I'm afraid it's not appropriate to teach him now, right?" If we do it now, everyone will guess that we are looking for someone, so wouldn't that be ......"

Xu Muchen smiled and said: "The old man just wants everyone to know that Ding Hao checked the old man's account, and the old man was a little scared, hehehe......"

Wang Zhizhou suddenly realized: "Yes, let them keep their eyes on the account book that will never find out the problem, are we afraid that we won't be able to survive this level?" The wisdom of the old shopkeeper, hahahaha......"
