Recently, Huang felt very uncomfortable.

I don't know where I offended the Ruan family, that is, the woman who was the chief steward of Zhuangzi. As soon as this Ruan Shi saw him, his eyebrows were not smooth, he spoke and acted sarcastically, and even some of the women he worked with were alienated from her. In addition to the Wei family's usual interactions with her, only Lan Zhi was willing to talk to her for a few words.

However, this situation did not last long, and when he heard that Ruan and his family had received a letter from the family, they asked for leave to take their children back to their hometown to visit relatives. It's just that many days have passed since the holiday, and they still haven't come back, and the deputy chief only guessed that Xu is road encountered some delays, but he didn't expect that what he finally waited for was the new chief sent by the lord of the big city, so his heart fluttered, and he estimated that something big might have happened.

Besides, the new manager of the principal who came to the village with the book is Lu Yonghong. Along with him, there was also Wei Dahai, the man of the Wei family, who was the deputy head of the main house who witnessed the handover of Zhuang Affairs. The two of them returned to the village this time with the master's two instructions: one was to escort Qi Bowen, the seventh young master of the Qi family, to the village to live, and the other was to take over all the general affairs of the village.

So as soon as they entered the village, they didn't see the Ruan family rushing to greet them, Lu Wei and the others immediately realized that something was wrong, saved the time to rest and drink water, and hurriedly asked the deputy manager of the village, but the more they asked, the more wrong it became. Wei Dahai gritted his teeth and slapped his thigh, and ordered Liu Rulu, the deputy manager, to rush to the township and county yamen, and first reported to the official on the grounds of missing people.

In the next three days and two nights, the old and new directors of the village were busy checking the accounts. During the day and night, food and water were taken care of by their respective homes and then taken out for consumption.

After the account books and numbers were finally verified, the shocking financial black hole was finally exposed.

Liu Rulu held the deficit in the book, stayed up all night and reddened, and his eyes were even more bloodshot. "How could it be...... ...... like this"

Lu Yonghong rubbed the corners of his forehead tiredly, and said: "The Ruan family has been in office for nearly ten years, and most of the account books recorded are here, and after deducting the unknown black part, it is estimated that it is at least 100,000 taels short. ”

Wei Dahai slapped his hand on the case and scolded: "His grandmother's surname is Ruan's son of a thief!" After scolding, he glared at Liu Rulu and shouted loudly, "If you don't report it, you are a greedy rat!" But if you insist on saying that you don't know, you're also a derelict and incompetent bastard, since you can't share the affairs for the master, what's the use of keeping it! ”

Liu Rulu sighed in mourning, tears rippled in his old eyes, and argued: "Deputy Chief Wei, I really don't know!" Otherwise, I wouldn't be so stupid as to let people go, and I would have left the black pot behind......"

Wei Dahai had a cold face: "We work together in a house, so naturally we don't want you to be unlucky." But since the matter has reached such a situation, in order to be fair and impartial, it is better to send you directly to the yamen and be interrogated by the official master! ”

Liu Rulu's knees softened when he heard this, his face was as pale as paper, and he barely held on to the table so as not to fall, and said in a trembling voice: "No, no!" You can't be born into the official gate, and you can't go to hell when you die. If you do this, you're going to force me to death......" He suddenly thought of something, and shouted, "I'm going to see the master, I, I'm going to explain the guilt to the master!" ”

After Lu Yonghong said the first sentence, he just sat next to him, bowing his head and flipping through the account book, his eyebrows and eyes were not raised, as if he was out of the matter.

Wei Dahai shook his head and smiled at the deputy manager, and said with pity: "Don't you know that the master went to Suzhou and Hangzhou?" ”

"Su Hang?" Liu Rulu was stunned, and then said hurriedly, "Then I'll wait......"

"Rulu," Wei Dahai called his name softly, "who did you come in, you should know in your heart." The surname Ruan is based on who has the courage, and everyone knows it. But now why did you suddenly send the Seventh Young Master to another village, and why did you suddenly remove the head of Zhuangzi, the reason for it, even if you don't put it bluntly, you can guess one or two if you are so smart. ”

Liu Rulu was stunned, silently looking at the ground and not knowing what he was thinking.

Wei Dahai simply picked it out more. "Do you know who's in charge of the main house now? Tell you, it's the fifth aunt and grandmother. Seeing Liu Rulu raise his head in surprise, he smiled mockingly, "You heard it right, the second aunt and the fourth aunt were ordered to be grounded before the master went out, and do you think that the fifth aunt will allow you to stay here and wait for so long when she sends her own son to the village?" ”

Liu Rulu was already panicked in his heart, and he couldn't stop being irritable, and stammered: "Wei, deputy director of Wei......"

Wei Dahai didn't want to say more, and directly took a fierce medicine: "We are subordinates, and we can't help it, so we can only listen to the will of our masters." But on the other hand, I don't want to wronged you, so if you are right, as long as you are upright, sending the official to justice is the best way to deal with it. You don't have to worry too much, it's okay after the trial, and the master will still reuse you when he comes back. ”

"No, no......" Liu Rulu knelt on the ground softly, old tears and whimpering, "Deputy Director Wei...... Please, save me......"

On the next day, Liu Rulu, the deputy director of Guixian Grange, asked himself about dereliction of duty, handed over his resignation, and left Guixian Grange with his family on the same day.

There is a small master living in the courtyard, and the Zhuangzi has replaced the main person who is familiar with the temperament, even if the financial loopholes in the account book are still the same, and the official office surnamed Ruan has not yet been wanted, but the atmosphere in the grange is very lively and lively.

In the words of the sixth mother-in-law, it was the relatives of the second aunt and grandmother who swept the money away, that is, the relatives of the old man; The loss is the income in the Zhuangzi, that is, the income of the master, in other words, it is all the business of the master's house, and no matter how you calculate it, you can't do it on their heads.

So in the fields, everyone is keen to pick their teeth with the events of the past few days. What's more, the newly appointed manager is a man from the Lu family, who is known for being upright and easy-going, has no nepotism with the master's family, and disdains the high-pressure policy of the surname Ruan, so everyone is more at ease to chat in the east, west, north and south.

The happiest person in the village is none other than Huang, smiling like a flower, and his mouth can't be closed. Her own man has finally taken the position, and he can do something about it, which is better than before, so how can she not be happy! Therefore, he specially prepared roast meat and raw chicken, and sincerely worshiped the gods of all parties, thanked the gods for their grace, and prayed for smooth and prosperous life in the future.

In the first few days, in order to be busy with reconciliation, Lu Yonghong stayed in the account room and never even stepped through the courtyard gate. Now that the matter is finally over, he has returned home in the dark of night, the sound of frogs is everywhere, and his wife and daughter have long fallen asleep.

He hurriedly took a shower with his tired body, stepped into the room, only to find that his wife had woken up, and whispered to him in surprise: "Back?" ”
