Chapter 10: A two-pronged approach

The two bookkeepers of Tiger Pass stood under the corridor with their hands in their hands, craned their necks and looked forward. 3. One of them said: "Lao Jia, what do you say about the account books of the past five years, have they seen it?" ”

Lao Jia said: "What do you care about him, Huxian County can't catch the thief, and he comes to our Dawanshan Division to make trouble, which is too unusual." If it weren't for the prefect's order, they would have gotten out of here. Toss, hehe, let's tell them to sort out their accounts, then there are more rules. ”

In the account room, a group of white-bearded old men were busy sweating profusely, and Ma Hui, Xu Haoran and others could not take stock of the accounts, so they could only help them to carry account books, provide pen and ink, and serve tea.

Contrary to what the two Tiger Bookkeepers had expected, these old fellows who were good at taking accounts did not help them sort out their account books. When these old account rooms arrived at Tiger Pass, they were a little dizzy at first, so many account books, how to check? But they quickly found a good way to speed things up.

They first divided some people to select each account book, but all the records of the southbound trucks were thrown aside, and only the northbound truck books were selected, because the Tiger Pass inspected and released the merchants from the south to the north at the left and right intersections, so the account books were also separated, and this time the workload was reduced by half.

Ye Xiaotian was inspired by this, and ordered them to only check the records related to the Chang's Carriage and Horse Shop and the two merchants Hu Qifeng and Lu Mo, so that the degree would be faster, and the account office only quickly browsed the shipping books from south to north, only picking the records related to these three companies, and another account office registered all the northbound goods of these three families, which was more than ten times faster than the people in Laohuguan expected.

Such a request can only be made by Ye Xiaotian, those old account offices will not lock the three of them as important suspects, even if they are locked, before they get real evidence, none of them dare to publicly declare that only these three people will be investigated, which is equivalent to pointing at people's noses and saying: You are the most suspicious!

They can't do this, but Ye Xiaotian is different. The matter has come to this point, and he doesn't care much about what Zhao Wenyuan thinks, since he asked Tongren Mansion for this "Shangfang Sword", if he doesn't find out something, how can he explain it to Dawan Shansi and Zhang Zhifu? It's time for the picture to be exhausted!

However, this kind of targeting is only within them, in the eyes of the people in Tiger Pass, they are still at a loss and have no clue, no, the huge envoy just walked into the door. The few account offices that were specially responsible for browsing the account books and information of Chang's Che Ma Company, Hu Family Commercial Bank, and Lu Commercial Bank immediately fell silent, just silently flipped through the account books, shaking their heads from time to time. The account room, which specializes in searching for information on goods going north, has also been turned into a full rummag, and it seems that it is sorting out one by one according to the date recorded in the account book.

Ye Xiaotian stretched his waist and said in pain: "Hey, I'm really tired, I feel dizzy when I see it!" ”

The huge envoy said admiringly: "Ah! It turns out that the county lord will also check the accounts, admire, admire. ”

Ye Xiaotian said: "Scared! How can this official check any accounts! ”

The huge envoy said strangely: "The county lord can't check the accounts, so how can he be dizzy?" ”

Ye Xiaotian opened the paper. The god mysteriously said to the huge envoy: "Oh, this is what the official is looking at!" ”

When he looked at it, he saw a very rough cover, which was yellow. On the cover, there is a vague picture of the Spring Palace, and next to it is written five big characters of "Ruyi Lou Yan History". The huge envoy hesitated and said: "Ye Xiancheng, this is ......"

Ye Xiaotian whispered: "This is the script, the masterpiece of Yue Xiaoguan, a famous family in Jinling." The words are gorgeous, the story is merry, and it is very fascinating. Haha...... envoy, do you want to take a look? The official has two or three days to finish reading, and he can borrow it from you then. ”

The envoy smiled dryly, "Uh, this ...... This ......, thank you Ye County Cheng Meiyi......"

Ye Xiaotian said: "Hey, no thanks, no thanks!" It's better to be happy alone than to be happy with all. However, you must be careful when you look at it, this is the treasures of this official, you don't want to deface it, hehehe, you know! ”

The huge envoy was stunned, and said with a wry smile: "Thank you Ye Xiancheng for your kindness, Xiaguan...... The lower officials are busy with official business, so let's not look at it. ”

Ye Xiaotian suddenly remembered and said, "Oh! By the way, how can the huge envoy have time to come, but what's the matter? ”

The huge envoy said: "That's not true, the lower official just has something to discuss with you." ”

Ye Xiaotian said with a smile: "What's the matter?" Come on, come on, please sit down, sit down and talk slowly. ”

This is the territory of the huge envoy of the family, he is the main guest, and he makes the huge so that he can't cry or laugh, so he has to sit on the chair, cough, and then said: "Ye Xiancheng, the tiger pass of the lower official is related to the great financial and tax income of the Dawanshan Division, so our county magistrate is very concerned." ”

Ye Xiaotian nodded, he could also see that the magistrate of the Dawanshan Division was Tuzhi County, that is, it was the county order of the imperial court, and it was actually the local Tusi, just to show that it was an official of the imperial court, and it was just a change of title.

Moreover, the Qiē taxes under the rule of the Tusi are all self-collected for their own use, and they also have obligations to the imperial court, but they are much lighter than the areas under the rule of the Liuguan, and they belong to a high degree of autonomy.

The huge envoy said: "Therefore, from our daily management here, you should also see that the lower officials dare not be sloppy, otherwise the county magistrate will not be able to explain." This tiger pass is taken care of by the lower officials, but many things are not decided by the lower officials alone......"

Ye Xiaotian said impatiently: "You don't have to say so much, what are you doing around so many bends, this official is a cheerful person, you just talk straight." ”

The huge envoy said: "That's the case, my lord, you have to check the accounts, and the lower officials will fully cooperate, no, all the accounts are here." But your people can't influence the affairs of our Tiger Pass. ”

Ye Xiaotian said strangely: "Do we have any affairs that affect you?" How did the official not know? ”

The huge envoy said with a bitter face: "Look, that Su Xuntian Su Bantou, today invited our Deputy Envoy Huang to have a drink, and Ming'er invited us to be a prostitute of Liu Tax Officer. , what did you ask, hey! It's a bit too much, you ......see, to make them either drunk or go into debt to the prostitutes, you see."

Ye Xiaotian was furious and said, "Is there such a thing?" This Su Xuntian is really unreasonable! Eating, drinking, prostituting and gambling, doing all kinds of evil, this official really wants to ...... him"

Ye Xiaotian suddenly looked angry, sighed, and said helplessly to the huge envoy: "Huge envoy, you don't know, this Su Xuntian is the brother-in-law of our county master, so this official is not too mean to him, this person has a bad habit, and the official can only tolerate him." ”

Ye Xiaotian vomited bitterness to the huge envoy, and the huge envoy listened patiently, and said: "What about the two people from the tax department, they follow the people of our tax department in and out all day long, and they don't see the outside at all, but they are quite familiar, so that now some past merchants still think that they are new tax collectors in this pass, look at this ...... adults."

Ye Xiaotian said: "Oh! The two of them! They are the people of our Huxian County Tax Division, not the direct subordinates of this official. It's boring, so I have to run around, but don't worry, I will definitely teach them a lesson, and don't let them add trouble to your level. ”

The huge envoy said helplessly: "And the one surnamed Hua, it seems to be called Hua'an?" ”

Ye Xiaotian smiled and said: "That's right, it's called Hua'an, Hua'an is the person next to me, this kid is very well-behaved, what's the matter, did he cause you any trouble?" ”

The envoy took a long breath and said, "He...... He's like a wandering ghost, out of nowhere, and he can't tell where he is......"

Ye Xiaotian was a little unhappy, and said with a long face: "Huge envoy, this is your fault, don't you want me to lock everyone up, we came to Tiger Pass to handle cases, not to go to prison, and we can't do it?" Is there anything unsightly about your Tiger Pass? ”

The huge envoy argued: "I don't bother to pay attention to him when he sways around, but just now, he actually shook into my inner house, which is the residence of my daughter." As a result, ......, I asked him why, and he said that he was lost, which is really unreasonable, and he got lost and got lost in my backyard......"

Ye Xiaotian immediately smiled again and said, "Ah! I know, this kid, everything is good, not bad at all, likes to peek at women taking a bath. ”

The huge envoy's eyes narrowed: "Gah? ”

Ye Xiaotian said with deep understanding: "A man of this age has never had a woman, so it is inevitable that he is a little curious about women......"

As he spoke, his face changed again, and he said viciously: "But it's too much to break into the huge envoy's house and peek at a woman taking a bath, and I have reprimanded him more than once for this stinky problem." Don't worry, I will discipline him strictly, if he dares to appear in your back house again, I will break his third leg! ”

The huge envoy was full of black lines, so he had to say: "That...... Then there is Laoye County. If they continue like this, if something happens, even the lower officials will not be able to restrain them. Presumably, you also know, Dawanshan Division, but we know the territory of the county master. ”

In the last sentence, the huge envoy aggravated his tone, Ye Xiaotian nodded again and again, and said: "I understand, I understand, although you can rest assured, the official will get them back, these rabbit cubs, one by one, there is no peace of mind, I must discipline strictly, I must discipline strictly!" ”

Seeing that Ye Xiaotian was so good at talking, the envoy couldn't say anything anymore, so he could only force out a smiling face, and arched his hand to Ye Xiaotian: "In this case, then there will be Lao Ye County, and the next official will retire." ”

Ye Xiaotian smiled kindly: "The huge makes it go slowly, and the huge makes it not send!" ”

As soon as the huge envoy left, the account room was busy again, rummaging and sorting, browsing, reporting accounts, and recording records, Ye Xiaotian looked at the back of the huge envoy leaving, and a faint worry rose to his eyebrows.

Officialdom is like a colander, how can there be a secret that can be kept, so from the beginning he didn't pin all his hopes on checking the accounts, which led to the separate actions of Su Xuntian and others, and now it has aroused the vigilance of the huge envoys, can they still gain something?
