Xiao Zhi felt that his brain was buzzing, and he felt that he didn't dare to write such a thing in the painting book, but Xi Hongdou's analysis was the truth, so he couldn't believe it.

"This ...... This needs to be checked. Xiao Zhi said, if this is really the case, this will become the biggest scandal in Kyoto City, Baizentang should be a place to do good deeds and accumulate virtues, and there is also a court background, if it becomes a place to hide filth and persecute young children, it is simply mad and incredible!

Xi Hongdou didn't want to think so, but ...... It's hard to put into words.

Xiao Zhi hurriedly went to investigate this matter, Baishantang also belonged to the department of the imperial court, and he also had the authority to investigate if he wanted to. If he hadn't listened to Xi Hongdou's words, he would not have thought of it if he really killed him, but with a direction, the subsequent investigation would be very targeted.

Lin Da used to be a shift in Baishantang, and after that, Xiao Zhi couldn't take care of Lin Da, and now it's time to let Lin Da do these things again.

A few days later, Lin Da sent the news that the steward of Baishantang turned out to be under Liu Fugui's hands, and there were also stupid children who sent it over before, but now that Liu Fugui is dead, the steward is in charge, and this matter has become commonplace, and there must be something wrong with this steward.

"Keep watching, you have written down all the people in charge of the affairs who have come into contact with them." Xiao Zhi said, how dare a little steward be so bold? He always felt that there was someone else behind him.

Lin Da nodded and left first, and Xiao Zhi went directly to Han's house to find someone.

Han Yushu saw Xiao Zhi looking for him, and thought something was wrong, and then learned that Xiao Zhi wanted to see the account book of Baishantang.

"Since the incident of King Junjun, the accounts of Baishantang have been managed by the household department, but the accounts are chaotic, and they can't be counted for a while." Han Yushu said.

Xiao Zhi sighed, Han Yushu asked what he meant, and Xiao Zhi said the things that Xi Hongdou speculated.

Han Yushu also became colder the more he listened, and said: "Since this is the case, then I must be the first to sort out the accounts of Baishantang, and I can't let this kind of thing continue." ”

"Thank you." Xiao Zhi said, it stands to reason that it is normal for Han Yushu not to help him, so he can only alarm his father, he is from the Ministry of Officials, and his father is from the Ministry of Households, because of this incident, he is like a double agent in the Ministry of Officials.

Han Yushu smiled: "Brother Xiao is polite, I will not let you do anything that harms the people of the court." "It should be what he did, not to mention that Xiao Zhi would have to find Xiao Shangshu directly if he wanted to check, and he could trust him if he was looking for him.

Xiao Zhi really trusts Han Yushu, the reason why he pulled Han Yushu over in this matter also has his own ideas, the younger generation is not pressed by the bosses of the older generation, and it is time to slap his face.

After Master Xiao heard that Han Yushu was dealing with the accounts of Baishantang, he simply did not have a faction to live, Baishantang was not under the control of the household department before, so there were a lot of grievances, and now it is the time for his household department to establish his authority!

"Send a few more people to help Han Yushu, pick out the words on the account for me, no matter how big the matter is, write it down for me!" Master Xiao directly asked the adults below to do it.

Dali Siqing fell ill all of a sudden because of his grandson's stupidity, and the son and daughter-in-law of the Fang family couldn't stand it, and the daughter-in-law washed her face with tears all day long, looking at her son so stupid and stupid, she finally couldn't stand the stimulation and hanged herself. I simply found out early and saved the person, but I was about to be mentally abnormal.

"This matter must be checked for me, which bastard caused my grandson to be like this!" Lord Fang was also unwilling on the hospital bed, so he asked the people below to go to the yamen to dock, and also wrote a note, asking for orders to take over the investigation of the child abduction and trafficking case in Kyoto City.

The emperor naturally has no reason to refuse, not to mention Dali Siqing alone, so many children of the people in Kyoto City and the surrounding areas are also being lost, this time the matter is very bad, it must be investigated well, otherwise the face of the court will be thrown on the ground, and anyone can step on it!

Master Fang received the holy decree of a thorough investigation, and he didn't care about his illness, so he began to investigate this matter when he was sick.

Xiao Zhi soon had news here, and the Lin family brothers followed the steward for a few days, and found that the person who had the most frequent contact with the steward was still his old acquaintance.

"Guo Xiao? No wonder after I came to the ministry, he targeted him everywhere, it turned out that the back of his ass was full of shit! Xiao Zhi said, this matter has nothing to do with Guo Xiao, it is really sleepy to send pillows, this Guo Xiao should also check it out.

It's just that even if the problem is really found, Guo Xiao is his boss after all, except for things related to the clan, he can't directly skip the level to talk to the emperor about this matter, and how many people in this official department are Guo Xiao's people He also knows in his heart that if he acts recklessly, he will definitely get half the result, and after thinking about it, he will contact Master Fang.

Fang Shuo has served in Dali Temple for many years, the emperor is very trusting, and often handles some shady cases, the emperor wants face, and he can't let those shameless people and things be taken to the eyes of the people to receive spit, so this time, the emperor handed over to Fang Shuo also has his own considerations.

When Xiao Zhi found Fang Shuo, he obviously felt that Fang Shuo was getting older, and whoever met the Fang family would probably not be able to withstand such a blow, so the Fang family would definitely kill the person behind it.

Fang Shuo saw that it was Xiao Zhi, so he asked, "Is there something wrong with Lord Xiao?" ”

Xiao Zhi took out his own investigation, and all the things in Baishantang were clearly laid out.

"...... this?" Fang Shuo was puzzled, looking at the account book in front of him, a little puzzled.

Xiao Zhi said: "This is the account book about Baishantang compiled by the household department. ”

"What does this ledger mean?" Fang Shuo picked it up and looked at it, and Xiao Zhi said, "I have a guess, and now because of this account book, I can conclude that the speculation is true or false." ”

Fang Shuo looked at Xiao Zhi, still in the clouds.

Xiao Zhi pressed the account book, and all the accounts of the past eight years were laid out, and said: "In the past eight years, every year, there have been fixed stupid children sent to Baishantang, and the subsidies that everyone should get are all written here, but there are not many things added to Baishantang every year, and the accounts of the things used by the children are also matched, but I checked according to the merchants connected above, and the accounts of the merchants are completely different, and someone is here, taking black money." ”

When Fang Shuo heard this, he took the account book and looked at it, and sure enough, it was no different from what Xiao Zhi said, but ......

"How did Lord Xiao get this?" Fang Shuo wanted to know where these things came from.

Xiao Zhi smiled faintly; "The household department has been sending these things these days, if the adult doesn't believe it, you can go to the household department to check, and there will be no discrepancy between the accounts of Baishantang and what I showed to the adult." These materials are also visible.

Fang Shuo thought for a moment and said, "Do you suspect that someone deliberately made the child stupid and then put him in Baishan Hall?" ”

Xiao Zhi nodded, Fang Shuo was born in Dali Temple after all, no matter how old he was, he could deduce these twists and turns inside.

Fang Shuo slapped a big slap on the table, if this is the case, then this person is really not a pity to die, enough to cut off his head eight times!

"Now that you know, why don't you send it directly to the emperor, why do you bother to come to me?" Fang Shuo looked at Xiao Zhi, if this matter was found out, it would be a great achievement.

Xiao Zhi said: "The adult is in charge of this case, I believe that I also hate those fanatics, I just didn't intend to find out, these are sent to adults, I just hope that adults can find out to the end." ”

Fang Shuo nodded, it seemed that this Xiao Zhi was not a person who was greedy for merit, and he acted in a very measured manner.

"Okay, if this case is solved, I will remember your contribution in my heart, and the emperor, I won't mention it again." Fang Shuo said, although Xiao Zhi did not overstep his authority, but his elbow turned outward, as long as he could take revenge, Xiao Zhi's affairs would also be willing to give a preservation.

Xiao Zhi nodded: "There is such an old man." ”

"Your father is also blessed to have a son like you." Fang Shuo said that Xiao Zheng is also popular in the court, and he has never had anything to fight for, and the son he raised is very courageous.

Xiao Zhi smiled, and then left the Fang Mansion. He didn't mention Guo Xiao's matter directly, lest Fang Shuo avoid the important and go to investigate, but with Fang Shuo's ability, it wouldn't take too long to find out about Guo Xiao's head.

The weather gradually cooled down, Xi Hongdou went to look outside the city, the flow of customers decreased significantly, it rained for a few days, the temperature dropped significantly, and dining outdoors was indeed a cool breeze.

"The weather is getting colder and colder, and we have to move in the open air, and I'll see if we can do some more projects." Xi Hongdou muttered.

Although the lake outside the city is also frozen in winter, but the thickness is limited, one person skating is okay, but too many people are standing on the ice, it will definitely collapse, simply find a place on the shore, artificially pour ice, and then customize skates, this project is okay.

When Hu Ping heard this, he said, "What is ice skating?" ”

Xi Hongdou thought about it, thinking that the people here might not have played and didn't know, so he said: "It's just to press the blade on the sole of the shoe, step on the ice and slide away." ”

Hu Ping was speechless: "Can you still play like this?" ”

"You can try it, I don't know if there will be any customers, and I originally wanted to close the restaurant outside the city in winter, but it's a pity that it's empty." And the guys in the restaurant also have to be raised, and she has to pay the same salary after the closure, so it's better to think about what can make money.

A few days before the ice, Xi Hongdou hired workers to dig outside the city, and the ground could not be used after watering, and the ice must be kept flat.

"The pit should be a foot deep, and the bottom of the pit should be as smooth as possible." Xi Hongdou said that as long as it is filled with water, it will be frozen in winter, and then pouring ice will save some effort.

When Xi Hongdou turned around, a carriage came in the distance, which was a little familiar. However, she didn't expect that the carriage was about to stop, and it was Han Ting who came down.

"Boss Han? How do you have time to come to my barren mountains? Xi Hongdou asked, always feeling that this Han Ting was brewing some tricks to make money.

Han Ting smiled: "Just passing by, I just saw Boss Xi here, so I came over to take a look." ”
