Tang Fengxian's tone was both sad and sad, and he only looked at Gu Yanzhang, as if he was waiting for his response.

The expression on Gu Yanzhang's face was very strange, as if he was relieved, as if it was a pity, and after a while, he only said, "Let's put out the fire first." ”

The water and fire were ruthless, and all the hidden fire shops in Ganzhou City were put into battle, and the officials who came to hear the sound helped together, and it took two or three hours to extinguish the fire.

By the last hint of the flame had been extinguished by the water, the sky was already bright.

At this time, the damage was counted, and in addition to the room where the account books were kept, three and a half houses were burned down, and three or four more firefighters were slightly injured.

The wounded are not seriously injured, and they will be raised for a while, and the house will be destroyed, and it will be okay to rebuild it, at most it will cost more money in the officials, but the account book will be destroyed, but it will never come back.

When the scene was almost cleaned up, Tang Fengxian asked, "Who was on duty in the treasury yesterday?!" ”

Huang Laoer, who had been silent, walked in front of Tang Fengxian with his head down, stood still honestly, and said, "Yesterday's villain's night ......"

Tang Fengxian frowned and shouted: "On duty in the treasury at night, but dereliction of duty, resulting in the destruction of the account books, do you know how much of a mistake you have committed!?" ”

After a while, he reprimanded: "The end of autumn and the beginning of winter are dry, and it is easiest to walk in the water, you are so careless!" What is the crime?! ”

immediately put the responsibility on the dry weather and the unfavorable guards, and in three sentences or two, he gave the cause of the fire this time - it was all natural disasters, and then Huang Lao Er's negligence was a man-made disaster.

Huang Laoer's face turned pale, and he wanted to speak several times, but was repeatedly interrupted by Tang Fengxian, so he had to shut up honestly and listen to him.

After Tang Fengxian finished scolding, he no longer paid attention to Huang Lao Er, but turned his head to discuss with Gu Yanzhang and said: "Yanzhang, now that the account books have been destroyed, this handover is ......."

His tone was very regretful, but there was no nervousness on his face.

Tang Fengxian's words were reasonable, and his eyes were full of joy.

He had already restrained the smugness in his heart, so he didn't laugh out loud.

It's so well burned!

It's all dust, how can it be handed over? Where can I find evidence that I am in deficit!

As for the destruction of the account books, how the successor will be governed, how chaotic the state government will be, and how much loss it will bring to the people, it is not his concern.

Tang Fengxian was very relieved in his heart.

You forced me!

If he just stared at the deficit of 120,000 yuan, maybe he would be in a good mood, gritted his teeth, and gave it, and he was so ruthless!

If you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!

He looked at Gu Yanzhang, waiting to see the anger and helplessness on his face.

Haha, without the account books, can you still turn the sky out?!

And beside him, Gu Yanzhang looked sorry for him, asked rhetorically, and said, "Is the account book really destroyed?" ”

Tang Fengxian only thought that he couldn't accept this reality, and his heart was full of pride, but he pointed to the scorched earth ruins not far away, and said to a small official: "Go and look through it to see if there are any account books left that have not been burned." ”

At this time, the fire was extinguished, and the storehouse that was burned so that there were no shelves left was still steaming, and the little official really didn't want to go over, so he bowed down and said, "The house in this compartment has burned down, even the iron has been burned into water, where is there any account book left......

It was rare that Tang Fengxian didn't feel that he had been disgraced at all, so he only turned his head to Gu Yanzhang and said, "Look? ”

Gu Yanzhang said unhurriedly: "You don't need to turn over the dust." ”

He nodded to Huang Lao Er, who was standing aside, and said, "Don't be in a hurry to find the rest of the fire, Huang Hucao is like a cautious person......

Huang Lao Er is actually not Hu Cao, he is just a small official in Hu Cao's Division.

He heard Gu Yanzhang mention himself, and he hurriedly raised his head, his face was still white, and his feet were a little shaky, but he was awake, walked over with his hands and feet, and saluted Gu Yanzhang and Tang Fengxian in a mess.

"The villain was troubled, he heard the rat bark in the middle of the night, because he was bitten by the rat because of the certificate of the treasury of the year, and the top and bottom of the household Cao Yisi were fined silver, the villain thought that a while ago Gu Tong came to the house to count the account books, and the room where he settled was empty, so he ......"

He swallowed his saliva, glanced at Gu Yanzhang, as if he suddenly had courage, and then said, "...... So I moved all the account books, and planned to wait until today's shift came, and discuss with him to see if we could catch the rats together, and then put the account books back in the ......."

As he spoke, he looked to the right.

There were three rooms in the right wing in the distance, quiet, not disturbed by the fire of this night, and in the smoke and fire all over the yard, it seemed to be particularly reassuring to him.

Tang Fengxian followed Huang Laoer's gaze, his heart beat wildly, and he only felt that his whole heart was raised.

His eyes were bulging, and he forced him forward, and shouted at Huang Lao Er: "Privately moving the treasury account books, do you know what crime this is?!" ”

"Tang Tong's sentence." Gu Yanzhang interrupted him for a long time, and said, "I'm not busy punishing crimes, if the account books are really intact, Huang Hu Cao can be regarded as a mistake, and he will make up for it." ”

And he said, "In that case, you might as well go and see if the account books are still there." ”

As he spoke, he walked towards the houses.

Gu Yanzhang took the lead, Tang Fengxian had to follow behind, and the officials in the state government also followed the swarm to the right wing.

Huang Lao Er hurriedly walked in front and hurriedly stepped forward to unlock the door.

As soon as the double doors opened, the first thing that caught people's eyes was a wheelbarrow used to transport the documents in the state office—leaning aside.

And inside the house, the books and books were piled up as high as a mountain, and they were stacked one after another, so crowded that there was no place for people to stand.

In the nearest place to the door, there were three or four stacks of books.

Tang Fengxian leaned against the door, looking at the room full of account books, only to feel a little dizzy.

There were too many books and accounts in the state government's yamen, and he had never paid attention to which one was which, but this time, he couldn't be more sure that these three or four stacks must have been pulled out by Gu Yanzhang's staff member named Xu Ming, who said that there was a problem.

What is familiar is not the account book, but the dense bamboo skewers sandwiched in it, as if looking at him and smiling.

- Ha, Tang Guanren, meet again!

When the fire burned the most, Tang Fengxian didn't feel anything, but at this moment, the fire was extinguished, but he couldn't even breathe.

The books are still there!

How!?

There was a gold star in front of him, and his chest was throbbing and aching.

Seventy thousand!

How?!
