Chapter 371: Get the Ledger

The most important thing at the moment is to solve the flood problem in Fuzhou and other places first, but Wang Ai and the others in front of them will not think of any other way except to wait for death in place. Wen Qiao has seen through them now, and it is even more unnecessary to be angry with them.

They didn't do anything, but fortunately, now he and Zhang Xinzhi are here. As for Wang Ai and these people, when this matter is resolved, he will immediately report it to the court, is it fun for the court to raise such inactive officials!

Wen Qiao's radical move had already made Wang Ai panic, he stretched out his hand to try to calm Wen Qiao down, and kept persuading: "Lord Wen, you let go of Lord Gu first, and a few of us will discuss this matter well."

The entire Fuzhou City is almost gone, but what is Wang Ai talking about now? He even wanted to let Wen Qiao calm down, the strength in Wen Qiao's hand immediately increased a little more, and the blade had already touched Gu Yuan's skin, and in an instant, a few drops of blood splashed out of his neck.

Several people present could see it clearly, Wang Ai's hand movements froze, and only Gu Yuan's miserable screams could be heard in the entire yamen. "Lord Wen!" Wang Ai and the other two prefects widened their eyes in disbelief, no one expected Wen Qiao to really do it.

Zhang Xinzhi, who had not spoken beside him, was also taken aback by Wen Qiao, he hurriedly walked to Wen Qiao's side, and first pulled Wen Qiao's hand with the short knife down, and then approached Gu Yuan to see his wound.

After all, Gu Yuan was a big man with strong blood, and he just screamed at that moment. Zhang Xinzhi first took out a white handkerchief from his body and put it on Gu Yuan's wound, he was about to find a way to stop Gu Yuan's bleeding, but his arm was pulled from behind.

He turned his head to see that it was Wen Qiao pulling him with a cold face, "Leave him alone." Zhang Xinzhi was stunned when he heard this, and he slowly tried to fight for Gu Yuan again, "But he was injured." ”

Wen Qiao raised his eyebrows with a cold face when he listened, and he said, "That's a small injury, you can't die."

"If you want to go against me again, the next time you will suffer far more than a small injury." These words were said to Wang Ai and others. Gu Yuan was still holding his wound and twitching all over his body, but when he heard this, his body shook violently, and the next moment, he had already passed out.

The yamen suddenly remembered one exclamation after another, Wang Ai and several of them were already too frightened to do anything because Gu Yuan had fainted. Wang Ai helped Gu Yuan, and called him in horror, "Lord Gu? Master Gu!"

Wen Qiao only watched indifferently from the side, and when they finally remembered that they should go to the doctor at this time, he called out to them in time to stop them, "Stop." ”

With Gu Yuan's matter, Wen Qiao successfully scared Wang Ai and the others as soon as he opened his mouth. Wang Ai turned to look at him, his expression full of anger towards Wen Qiao.

For these, Wen Qiao just didn't see it, he said indifferently: "Hand over what I want first, otherwise none of you will want to go out from here today." After saying that, he added, "Of course, if you still want him to die like this, you can also try it as I said." ”

It's a naked threat. Wen Qiao didn't have time to finish speaking, so he pulled a chair from the side and came over and did this in the middle. After a few minutes, Wang Ai ignored Wen Qiao's words with a cold face, and walked outside with his other two officials.

The short knife suddenly flew out of Wen Qiao's hand, successfully brushed past Wang Ai's ear and inserted it into a pillar only a few steps away from him. Gu Yuan, who was in Wang Ai's arms, was thrown to the ground by him, looking as if he was frightened by Wen Qiao's actions.

"Lord Wang, if you don't believe what I say, then take a few more steps outside?" He got up and walked over to Wang Ai and retrieved his short knife.

He directly wiped the blood stains on the blade with his robe, and glanced at Wang Ai without any emotion while raising his eyes slightly, "If you are willing to cooperate with me now, I may be kind enough to let you go when the matter is resolved, but you insist on going against me,"

Wen Qiao directly raised his finger and pointed at Gu Yuan, who had passed out on the ground, and said slowly: "Then the current Lord Gu will be your fate in the future."

"You're threatening me." Wang Ai's face was ugly. Wen Qiao smiled when he heard this, and replied unabashedly, "Yes." So, Lord Wang, what are you going to decide today?"

The meaning of the words is obvious. The short knife in Wen Qiao's hand had no tendency to be withdrawn at all, Wang Ai's body moved, and he finally had to compromise and say, "Master Fu, give him something."

Fu Xian's movements were faster than Wang Ai's words, and without hesitation, he took out a finger-thick account book from his arms, and handed it to Wen Qiao with trembling hands. The ledger is clean, and there is no decoration on the cover of the surface.

Wen Qiao took it, and the knife in his hand was taken back as promised, "Let's go." He turned around and walked back with the ledger he had just gotten, and finally handed the ledger to Zhang Xinzhi. Wen Qiao was born as a military general, while Zhang Xinzhi was born as a scholar who honestly experienced ten years of hard study.

Zhang Xinzhi, who got the account book, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and he went to see Wang Ai's people again, but there was no one in the yamen for a long time, and they had already left.

Without any further delay, Zhang Xinzhi walked to the official case in the yamen, directly took a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, opened the account book, and began to carefully check whether the accounts in the account book were true. When it's time to settle accounts, there is no such thing as Wen Qiao.

He himself was not afraid of what he did just now, but for a civil official like Zhang Xinzhi, he must have been frightened. There have been a lot of things going on lately, and his mind is now a mess. What's more, I'm afraid there is no one who wants to go home more than him now.

The rain in Fuzhou has stopped in recent days, but the flooding outside has not subsided. The entire city of Fuzhou was flooded for most of its part.

An hour later, Zhang Xinzhi turned the last page of the ledger, and the pen in his hand stopped. He took the paper that he had densely written on and checked it again, and after making sure that there were no mistakes, he put it forward.

"Everything is written in the ledger correctly." Zhang Xinzhi said. Wen Qiao was not interested in the important matter of settling accounts at all, he glanced at it and returned the account book and paper to Zhang Xinzhi, and said, "Let's go, let's go check the accounts first."

In the past ten days here, Wen Qiao and Zhang Xinzhi have not done anything at all, at least they have also found the location of the granary of the Fuzhou prefect. Wen Qiao and Zhang Xinzhi have already thought about what they will do next.

After checking the accounts and counting the grain in the granary, they gathered the people who were still in Fuzhou City, and no matter what, at least they had to ensure their livelihood first. The rest is to be done.
