049: I just want to hide my merit and fame!
King Ye.
Huang closed his mouth tightly.
That was a powerful man in the Great Wei Dynasty, and it was not something that a woman like her could talk about casually.
How many years has the Great Wei been founded, how many years has the title of 'King Ye' existed, the hereditary permanent title, and a large fief in the north!
King Ye is in the same vein as the royal Xiao family, when Xiao Taizu led the same clan to raise troops, won the world after the meritorious reward, and sealed his younger brother as the first generation of King Ye, for the Great Wei Town to guard the Northern Barbarians, the times have changed, many of the original founding heroes have lost their titles and gone to loneliness, only the Ye Wangfu has been prosperous for a long time.
King Ye is also worthy of the trust of the sons of heaven in the Great Wei Dynasty, in order to resist the northern barbarians going south, King Ye paid a heavy price, and each generation has a direct bloodline sacrificed on the battlefield...... The world has been peaceful for a long time, and the Northern Barbarians have also been scared by King Ye, from the initial large-scale invasion to the harassment of the border from time to time in recent years, who doesn't know that this is the credit of the previous generations of King Ye!
"Why is King Ye involved?"
Huang muttered, she was really curious, the Hetai Mansion where Cheng Zhiyuan worked was in the east of the Great Wei Dynasty, and King Ye's fief was in the bitter cold land of the extreme north, so there should be no intersection from the geographical point of view.
Cheng Zhishu only knows a little bit of skin, or from the letter of the second brother Cheng Zhixu, but how can he say that he doesn't understand in front of the Huang family, and scolded the Huang family a few words to let her inquire less:
"In short, this matter involves King Ye, it is not easy to close the case, the Son of Heaven believes in King Ye, and refuses to let King Ye's reputation be damaged, and it is best to recover the disaster silver that is greedy for ink, and if you can't recover it, you can only severely punish the officials involved in the case instead of getting to the bottom of it, as long as you know that the eldest brother Cheng Zhiyuan has no hope of overturning the case, how talented the little evil animal is, in the end, he can't even pass the Nanyi County exam...... You don't want to waste energy on insignificant people, if you have that free time, it's better to go to your mother to do your filial piety more, care more about Brother Jue, and don't say that the second brother will rise one liter again! ”
Cheng Zhi said a lot, and Huang understood two points.
First, it is useless whether Cheng Qing is talented or not, and if Cheng Zhiyuan is implicated, he will lose his qualification for the scientific examination, so there is no need to worry.
Second, Cheng Zhixu's father Cheng Zhixu is about to rise again, Cheng Zhixu is now doing Zhizhou from the fifth grade, and then half a step up is the fifth grade, if he jumps a big step in a row, won't he become a fourth-grade official?
Huang's heart was hot when he heard this.
Yu Zhifu is a four-grade official, although he can't buy property and land in Xuandu Mansion, the family who followed Yu Zhifu to take office has a lot of business in Fucheng, which is an unspoken rule.
If Cheng Zhixu can be the prefect who is in charge of one side, her husband Cheng Zhishu will not have to take care of the ancestral property at home, and he will do any business with the previous office, let alone earn a few thousand taels of silver a year!
Huang Shi licked his lips, "Then you still need to say that the second brother and his wife trust us by putting Brother Jue in their hometown to study, how can I snub Brother Jue." That kid didn't perform well in the monthly exam this time, he must have been affected by his mood, and I have to find a way to unravel him. “
Conscience is as light as a feather in the face of interests, and Huang's conscience is very fragile, and it is not worth mentioning in the face of sufficient interests.
She didn't even have time to feel sorry for Cheng Qing, who made the other party unlucky, and reincarnated as Cheng Zhiyuan's son!
……
For seven days.
Cheng Qing locked himself in the wing room and sorted out a room of ledgers.
In the end, she was numb, her face was dark, and she handed over the new account sorted out to Meng Huaijin:
"Senior brother, I have sorted out all the accounts, and now I will hand over the general ledger to you."
Can she not be numb?
A total deficit of 260,000 taels of silver!
If the two hundred and sixty thousand taels of silver are piled together, how many people will have to be dispatched to carry them?
What made Cheng Qing even more frightened was the origin of the account book, the allocation of money and food, and the loss of weapons, this is the account of the army, and the deficit is the military salary, this errand is simply fatal.
Cheng Qing has completed the task now, she doesn't want to be praised by anyone for making a big fanfare, she just wants to hide her merits and fame and leave in a low-key manner, except for Meng Huaijin, no one else knows that the account book is the best she can check!
Cheng Qing smelled danger from it.
Meng Huaijin said that there is a reward for paying, Cheng Qing agreed with this, she didn't agree with Meng Huaijin's rashness.
A province has an unlimited future, why is Meng Huaijin involved in such a risky matter? It can only be said that this person's handsome skin hides great ambitions, and he thinks that the normal scientific examination is too slow, and he has to take a shortcut to climb up.
It's too dangerous!
If Cheng Qing is alone, she is willing to follow Meng Huaijin's example, but she still has the Liu family and her three sisters behind her, if she has another accident, leaving the four Liu family will really be bullied.
Her anxiety did not affect Meng Huaijin, Meng Huaijin carefully looked at the general account given by Cheng Qing, and couldn't help but sigh after putting down the account book:
"Senior brother, you did a good job, better than I imagined, Uncle Cheng Shi was also a famous talent in Nanyi in the past, I deeply regret that I didn't have the opportunity to meet!"
Cheng Qing is only thirteen years old, who taught her the ability to read the account book, naturally it is the dead Cheng Zhiyuan!
The Four Books and Five Classics can be learned slowly, Cheng Qing's skills are biased towards practice, if Cheng Qing is so powerful, Cheng Zhiyuan himself will not be bad. The death of such a pragmatic official is not clear, and Meng Huaijin regrets this.
Meng Huaijin was also shocked by the danger of officialdom, people like Cheng Zhiyuan have been stumbling for more than ten years, and they died before they could get out, which is really embarrassing!
Cheng Qing wanted to hide his merit and fame, but Meng Huaijin had other ideas, and did not say anything about sending Cheng Qing back to Nanyi, but told Cheng Qing to have a good rest:
"Senior brother is a smart person, I won't want to check the account book with such a big deficit, you might as well take a good rest, and after I transfer the account book, maybe that person is willing to meet you."
No, I don't want to see it!
Cheng Qing's brain exploded, and he wanted to roar at Meng Huai.
It is said that Meng Huaijin is deeply favored by the Cheng family, and she is also a child of the Cheng family, why did Meng Huaijin cheat her so much?
A little person like her, who has no foundation, is involved in such a dangerous thing, does she think that her life is too comfortable?
Meng Huaijin felt that the expression on her face was vivid and interesting, and immediately smiled:
"Senior brother, don't refuse, remember what I said, if you pay, you will be rewarded, you have already paid so much, don't you want to return?"
Cheng Qing was dumbfounded, "The return that Senior Brother said, if it is related to my father's case, then Senior Brother Lao will recommend it!" ”
Meng Huaijin nodded:
"It's really related, to tell you the truth, the Hetai Mansion disaster relief silver embezzlement case is too much involved, if you only pin your hopes on Cheng's doomed to be disappointed, this opportunity is what I brought you, whether you can seize it depends on your ability."
Cheng Qing's anxiety was soothed.
She wants to get the approval of Master Cheng Wu, counting on Nanyi Cheng's ability to run for Cheng Zhiyuan's case.
It's a pity that she has a lot of presence in Cheng Wu's master, and the progress is still too slow, and the fifth master has not yet regarded her as a junior who can be reassured, so why doesn't she try to take another path?
Meng Huaijin involved her in trouble, and at the same time gave her a good opportunity to contact the big people who were originally out of reach.
- What kind of character does it have to be to be able to do things before and after the saddle!
