Chapter 276: Mathematician and Best Bookkeeper
Helping the old man to sit up, Yun Lan took out a water bag and handed it to Lin Dong, and then took out a small cyan porcelain bottle from the storage spirit ring.
Uncorked the bottle, and a red pill the size of a glass ball rolled into Yun Lan's palm, and then she gently stuffed it into the old man's mouth.
"Put the water bag to his mouth." Yun Lan explained.
Lin Dong nodded hurriedly, pulled the plug of the water bag, and leaned over to the old man's mouth.
Yun Lan's palms were imprinted on the old man's back, and his skinny body shook violently, and the pill that stayed in his mouth slid down his throat as if he was attracted by something. And the old man's mouth opened a little at the same time, like a long whale sucking water, the mouth of the water bag, and a clear spring shot towards the old man's mouth.
The spiritual power was constantly running in the old man's body, combing through the meridians that had been blocked and atrophied...... After a long time, Yun Lan let go of his palm, stood up, and said slowly: "The internal organs have already helped him warm up, and he has also combed the meridians, so it is not bad." The rest, only a fractured left arm and some skin trauma, but ......"
Yun Lan wanted to speak and stopped, these internal injuries, the injuries were uneven, and they could never be caused at one time.
Lin Dong's heart suddenly changed, afraid that something would happen, so he hurriedly asked, "But what?" ”
Yun Lan hesitated for a moment, shook her head and said, "It's nothing, it's good to recuperate for three or two months." ”
Lin Dong did not doubt it, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard it.
Slowly, the old man slowly opened his eyes.
As far as the eye could see, it was Lin Dong's relaxed expression.
Seeing that the old man woke up, Lin Dong asked, "Old man, are you okay?" ”
The old man shook his head slowly, and then, as if something sounded, his right hand stretched out and grabbed Lin Dong's arm.
"It's you, it's you who hit me!"
"Yes, it's me." Lin Dong nodded helplessly and said: "Don't worry, old man, the internal injuries should be fine, I'll give you some gold creation medicine later, it should be no big deal in a few days." ”
"What's not a big deal?" The old man twisted his body, and after finding that he was a little refreshed, he couldn't help but be stunned, and immediately hugged his left arm and shouted: "My arm is broken, you have to pay me money." ”
Lin Dong was stunned, and said with a smile: "Compensation, I will compensate you for the old money later, and I will compensate you for the old silver." ”
"Twenty taels of silver, at least twenty taels of silver." The old man grabbed Lin Dong's arms and couldn't help but tighten.
Lin Dong frowned slightly, twenty taels of silver, a bit of a lion's mouth.
But...... If there is a mistake in the first place, he is not short of twenty taels of silver, and it is always a good thing to be able to calm things down.
"Okay, twenty taels is twenty taels, I'll help you grow old first, and treat your injuries first!" Lin Dong took out the golden medicine from the mobile counter and shook it towards the old man.
The old man was over the age of six, and he didn't need Lin Dong's support, and after letting go of Lin Dong's arm, he stood up, especially faster than Lin Dong.
"You don't need to treat the injury, you pay the money, I'll find the doctor myself."
Looking at the shriveled palm stretched out in front of him, Lin Dong hesitated a little, no need to treat the injury?
Before contacting Liu Hua and Wu Guang again, he kept explaining that it was the old man who bumped into him himself, and Lin Dong's face was ugly: "Old man, you don't deliberately hit my carriage and want to steal money, right?" ”
The old man was stunned and panicked, and his rebuttal was a little incoherent.
Lin Dong knew that he had guessed correctly depending on the situation.
There was some displeasure in his heart, it could be seen that the old man was full of silver hair and looked flustered, Lin Dong sighed helplessly, took out ten taels of silver from the mobile counter and threw it on the ground.
"At such an old age, if you really accidentally hit someone, what should you do if you call someone else? Seeing that you are a novice, and you have indeed been bruised, take ten taels of silver and go! ”
Looking at the silver ingots on the ground, the old man was a little stunned, and for a moment, he hurriedly looked up at Lin Dong and said, "Twenty or twenty taels of silver." ”
Lin Dong frowned and said: "Twenty taels of silver is enough to live for several years in an ordinary family." ”
The old man's expression was gloomy, and he begged bitterly: "Childe is doing well, it is indeed the old man who deliberately hit your carriage, before this, the old man also deliberately hit a lot of carriages, and only the son stopped to save him." Originally, Childe had already seen the intention of the old man, and the old man was not a person who didn't know what to do, but the old man really needed twenty taels of silver, and if the son had plenty of money, he begged the son to lend him the old man......"
Lin Dong frowned, looked at the old man's expression carefully for a moment, and reluctantly took out the silver ingots from the mobile counter and put them on the ground again.
"Thank you, Childe, thank you Childe for your great kindness. The old man Huang Wanli, and asked the son to leave his address, after the old man rescued his granddaughter, he must find a way to raise enough silver to return to the son. The old man thanked him desperately.
Save your granddaughter?
Lin Dong hesitated for a moment, shook his head and said: "Forget it, the old man will stop using this method to scare people in the future, if you are thirty or fifty years younger, I guarantee that you will not have a tael of silver when you are old, and the other arm will have to be broken." ”
Huang Wanli thanked him for his kindness, Lin Dong shook his head and glanced at Yun Lan, and the two of them walked back to the carriage in unison, but found that Liu Hua, who was looking at Huang Wanli, was a little stunned.
"Liu Hua, it's time to hurry." Lin Dong reminded.
Liu Hua woke up like a dream, and hurriedly followed Lin Dong and the three back to the carriage.
"I didn't expect that Huang Wanli would be so depressed that he needed to cheat the silver."
Lin Dong stepped into the carriage, and when he heard this, he couldn't help asking, "Do you know who he is?" ”
"Shopkeeper, look at his age, this is the boundary of Jiuhu County...... Liu Hua said helplessly: "There are still a few Huang Wanli." ”
Lin Dong was stunned, and couldn't help but look at the old man who was stuffing the silver into his clothes.
Huang Wanli, Jiuhu County, about sixty!
"He shouldn't be so down, right?"
Lin Dong didn't believe it, Huang Wanli was also a big celebrity in Qiufeng Mansion. If you really want to talk about it, it is well-deserved to be the first mathematician and the first account office in the Han Kingdom.
As far as Lin Dong knows, this Huang Wanli has always been in the Qin Palace, the most famous, is the twenty-first year of Qianwei, the corruption and fraud of the household department Shangshu was jointly played by the ministers, as a result, the various accounts of the household department are impeccable, and no flaws were found after half a year, and finally the king of Qin recommended Huang Wanli to go up, and all the loopholes were found in only three months.
Again, it should be a lot of arithmetic deduced by Huang Wanli, which is said to have nearly a thousand kinds. It's a pity that the Great Han Kingdom didn't pay attention to it and didn't help it compile it.
If the old man is really this Huang Wanli...... Lin Dong couldn't help but lift the curtain, and Ma Chun was responsible for the accounts of the inn. Ma Chun is good at eloquence, and he is a good hand at receiving guests and getting through relationships, but he was born as a gangster, not to mention settling accounts, and the abacus beads were learned by someone after he became a steward. Fortunately, there are only two inns, and there are not many accounts, so it is enough to register income and expenditure, and then write a total income and expenditure. At the end of each month, the difference is only a few taels of silver.
For Ma Chun, Lin Dong is 100% trustworthy, let alone a few taels of silver, the difference of tens of thousands of taels of silver will definitely not suspect that Ma Chun has any different intentions. But there will be more than two inns in the future, just in the territory of Qiufeng Mansion, ten branches and one main store, you must ask for an accounting room, otherwise, Ma Chun will not be busy at all. And if the amount is too different, it is easy for the guy to falsely report the expenses, which is always a hidden danger.
When branches are opened all over Lingnan County, the requirements for the account room will also be greater. With Huang Wanli's ability, even if the inn is opened throughout the entire Han Kingdom, it is probably more than enough to sort out all kinds of statistical accounts.
The only problem is that Huang Wanli is too old, but let him bring a few apprentices, and everything will be solved.
"Liu Hua, wait!" Lin Dong hurriedly shouted to Liu Hua, who waved the horsewhip.
Liu Hua looked back puzzled.
Lin Dong lifted the curtain and saw Huang Wanli turning around, waving his right arm, as if shouting something towards the carriage.
"Wait!" Lin Dong explained.
Liu Hua nodded.
After a while, Huang Wanli staggered to the carriage and gasped: "Gong, Gongzi, don't find an inn to stay at night." ”
"Don't look for an inn to stay in?" Lin Dong was puzzled: "Why? ”
"Look, it's dark in about an hour or two. According to the distance, there is only one inn in front. Huang Wanli took a deep breath, and said with fear in his eyes: "This inn is called Humen Inn, it is a black shop, selling human flesh. ”
"Selling human flesh?" Lin Dong suddenly felt creepy.
Liu Hua and Wu Guang were also shocked, only Yun Lan seemed to have heard nothing.
Huang Wanli nodded heavily and said nervously: "Human meat buns, braised human meat, steamed human palms...... Their dishes are all made of human flesh. The old man and the hard-working little granddaughter just strayed into the Humen Inn, heard the names of these dishes and wanted to leave, and they were forced to charge a seat fee of twenty taels of silver, and the old man didn't have so much silver, so they detained the old granddaughter. The old man had no choice but to come to the official road and deliberately find a carriage to collide. ”
Lin Dongmeng lifted all the curtains, if this is the case, Huang Wanli's granddaughter will be in danger.
"Uncle Huang, your granddaughter, how long has you been detained?"
Huang Wanli said worriedly: "From last night to now, it's been almost a day. ”
Lin Dong exhaled and said with a solemn face: "Get in the car!" ”
"Get on, get in the car?" Huang Wanli was surprised.
"Twenty taels of silver is just a seat fee, your old granddaughter, even if she doesn't eat or drink for a day, I'm afraid she will have to charge one hundred and eighty taels of land occupation fees." Lin Dong said coldly: "You always lead the way, and I will accompany you to take a look." ”
"Childe, they, they are all murderous without blinking, and the guests of their inn are all mountain bandits." Huang Wanli hurriedly waved his hand and said, "The old man is afraid that the son will follow him, and there will be danger." ”
"It doesn't matter, we are all martial arts practitioners, and we don't care about a few mountain bandits." Lin Dong urged: "It's almost a day, if you delay it again, I'm afraid it will ......."
Huang Wanli's body trembled, and he never dared to think about it for a day.
"Wu Guang, help the old man get into the car!" Lin Dong commanded.
"Shopkeeper ......" Wu Guang hesitated.
Lin Dong didn't say much, jumped out of the carriage, and pushed Huang Wanli into the carriage.
No matter what Huang Wanli's identity is, since he has met it, it is just a black shop, and there is no reason not to help.
Yun Lan took out a package, took out a water bag and a few pieces of pizza from it and handed it to Huang Wanli.
"Thank you, girl, old and old, old ......"
Huang Wanli was a little stalked, he hadn't eaten for a day, and his stomach was already hungry, but how could he be in that mood.
"Only when you are full will you have the strength to save your granddaughter."
Yun Lan's heavenly voice seemed to contain great attraction, so that Huang Wanli couldn't help but take the water bag.
