Bai Zhi really flipped through it casually, and immediately blushed angrily: "This Bai Yan, if he embezzles so much money from the villagers, isn't he afraid of choking on himself?" ”

She just picked up a ledger casually, all of which were his expenses when he was the new owner of the village.

What a luxury it was to pay a hundred taels of silver, but the villagers were not well fed or clothed, and they needed to work in the fields all day long.

This kind of person should have been punished a long time ago, but now that he has been expelled, he can't find anyone to settle accounts after the autumn.

"Si Wuming, I hope you can keep these ledgers and let them spur you, so that you will not forget your mission, are you willing?" Bai Zhi sorted out the account books one by one and stacked them together.

Those were all the blood and sweat of the villagers, and she didn't want to see any more.

"If you don't say that I will, this is the biggest shame in the history of our cottage, and destroying it can't leave a warning for future generations, of course I must keep it well," Si Wuming hugged the account book in his arms again, and treated it very solemnly.

"Anyway, these things have been turned over, the villagers in the cottage have lived a good life again, the villagers will be so difficult in the future, life is getting better and better, then it's up to you, although I don't manage the cottage, but I will stand behind you and support you, the whole cottage has you and me, and it will get better and better in the future," Bai Zhi whispered to him.

"The villagers are building houses day and night every day, the construction period is much earlier than expected, I want to come to these days to do all the work, the rest of the yard to play cement ground, they can do it themselves, you don't need to bother, our cottage herbs, soon to come out, you are still busy with your own business, we all have to rely on you to eat!" Si Wuming is no longer reluctant to give up the eldest lady, and he also understands that she is the hope of the whole cottage people.

"This is natural, I originally wanted to be busy with business, but I always feel that there are still some things in this cottage that I don't know about, Bai Yan is certainly an irresponsible owner of the village, but is there a behind-the-scenes promoter behind him? You and I don't know, I want to stay a few more days to check it out, what do you think? Bai Zhi didn't say it directly, wanting to see what he thought.

Si Wuming seemed to be touched by her, and he was slightly stunned, and put the ledger in his hand back on the table next to him.

"Zhi'er, it's been so long since you've been back, why do you think so now? But what did you find? His fingers tapped lightly on the table, drawing circles on the table for a while.

"How much wind and rain has our cottage experienced? The fifth master can uphold justice, but the villagers have lived such a miserable life, and he has not come forward, is there no concern? Bai Zhi didn't bring it up directly, and if she brought it up first, it wouldn't make any sense.

After all, if Si Wuming didn't know, he wouldn't be able to help her track it down.

"You are smart and alert, this is all the grievances of the previous generation, I know some, but I don't know how to deal with it, this is also my biggest headache," Si Wuming stroked his forehead with his hand, and his headache tightened.

It turns out that he knows something, but why hasn't he mentioned it?

"Do you know anything? But you never see your words, is there any difficulty or ......? She thought in her heart that although Aunt Ding was suspicious, she didn't want to speculate until she made a final conclusion.

"Li Biao, Aunt Ding, and the old village owner and the village owner's wife have a past between them, I have heard my father and mother say, but at that time I was still young and didn't understand the things between adults, and then the cottage was too busy, and I didn't care to check the past between them, which is why Li Biao used to be the personal guard of the old village owner, but he couldn't be reused, Aunt Ding and the village owner's wife are like sisters, and now the life is miserable, but no one sympathizes with her," Si Wuming just knows some things, but he doesn't know very well.

I can't explain it for a while.

"Then do you know the specific thing between them?" Bai Zhi suddenly became interested and wanted to ask further.

"No, I know some trivial things here and there, but I don't know where to start if I want to tell you, so let me check carefully, figure out the ins and outs, and then tell you in detail, you see?" Si Wuming was not interested in the matter between these elders.

But as long as she wants to figure it out, he will definitely help her find out.

"Si Wuming, please be sure to investigate this matter, maybe you can find out that the encirclement and suppression of the imperial court is a matter of our cottage, I don't have any memory and really can't help you, so everything can only rely on yourself, if you have any difficulties, just tell me, I will definitely reach out to help you," Although the former elders had nothing to do with her, she subconsciously wanted to track down these grievances.

"Okay, the houses of the villagers have been built, and the herbs will be picked soon, and I can also take out my hand to see the things in the cottage, and I will also find out the things between the fathers for you, and I will inform you carefully when the time comes, can you rest assured?" Si Wuming said something to her, but his eyes looked at Duan Xun.

It was obvious that he was making a promise to two people.

"Si Wufang, since we chose you as the owner of the village, we trust you, this matter can only be handed over to you to check the most appropriate, no one knows the cottage better than you, we will go out to do business tomorrow, and if we encounter difficulties, we will send a book to contact us, of course, the cement business in the cottage and the oil refining business, you don't have to care, I will make other arrangements for this matter, you just need to take care of the cottage," Duan Xun had nothing to explain to him, so he could only tell him everything at hand.

Bai Zhi opened her mouth slightly and wanted to say something more, but then she gave up after thinking about it.

"Okay, you are in the cottage, I will rely on you more, if you leave one day, I am afraid that I will not be able to cope with it, the long pain is better than the short pain, I will not stay longer if you leave tomorrow, and the cottage will not let you down if it is handed over to me," They will definitely be good for the cottage and for their own good, so Si Wuming did not treat the two of them as outsiders, and poured out his heart to them.

"Okay, then it's decided, we'll leave tomorrow, so we won't say hello to the villagers, if you have something, you can contact us," Duan Xun looked at the sky outside the door and found that it was not too early.

Si left with his thick ledger without interest.

As soon as he left, Bai Zhi couldn't help but ask, "Duan Xun, is it okay to leave this matter to him alone?" What if he can't handle it? He's still very young and hasn't experienced any of these things! ”

Although Si Wuming is very strong and mature, after all, he lacks experience, and he may not be able to handle things properly.

Duan Xun tapped her head with his fingers: "I fought on the battlefield when I was a teenager, isn't it just as good?" Thinking about it so much, sooner or later it is necessary to experience it, as he said, long pain is better than short pain, and it is better to experience it earlier. ”
