Chapter 272: Preparation
In "Say a few words, your brother-in-law is still in it......"
Tang Fengxian only felt that his face was about to be swollen.
His brother-in-law was full of anger, and what he said could be heard clearly in the inner compartment.
There were two waiting girls in this place, one of whom changed his clothes, and was standing in the corner at this time, not daring to move, and the other was holding on to the doorknob, looking at him hesitantly, looking at him hesitantly, looking like he didn't know whether to open the door or not.
That idiot! Don't you know what you can and can't say?!
I'm still spoiled by my father-in-law and mother-in-law!
If the family is rich, it is easy for people to be so inconspicuous!
Tang Fengxian stood for a while, enduring the fire in his chest.
He can go to Jingzhou to serve as an official, in addition to his own money, the relationship between his father-in-law is also a lot, even if it is not pleasing to the eye, he can't make his brother-in-law ugly in person.
He stood where he was, and waited until he had said anything else outside, then motioned for the girl to open the door, and walked out, without talking to his wife and brother-in-law.
However, the handover cannot be ignored.
Seeing that the days are getting longer and longer, and the more and more unspeakable, if it is postponed, maybe the observation envoy will send a letter back to the capital, and the court will come down to inspect it, but it will be over after a perfunctory look, but if it is known by the imperial historians who have heard the wind and discussed the matter, and have nothing to do, they will be attacked again.
At this critical juncture of changing places, it is better not to make any trouble.
Tang Fengxian called his staff, and several people locked up in the house and discussed for a long time, and finally made up their minds.
If you don't want to make up the deficit or redo the account books, there is only one way.
Taking advantage of the fact that Gu Yanzhang had just arrived, he couldn't figure out the situation, so he cut off the head and tail early, so that he couldn't verify it anymore.
The next day, he called the errand boy in the state government and said, "Go and find Li Abshi, and show me the list of shifts in the government and the government treasury this month." ”
As a monk for a day and a bell for a day, as long as the big seal of Ganzhou is not handed over for a day, Tang Fengxian will still be the general judge of Ganzhou for a day.
The official quickly took the order and left, and after a short time, he walked in with an old man dressed in the clothes of an official.
"General verdict." The old official shouted, put a few thin pieces of paper in his hand in front of Tang Fengxian, and said, "This is what you want." ”
He was about fifty or sixty years old, and he looked like a kind old man, with a face that would make people laugh when he saw a child crying on the side of the road.
"Li Abshi, why did you bring it?" Tang Fengxian was a little surprised, and he was busy looking at the seat.
Li Ding sat down on the chair without giving in, and said with a smile: "It's rare to be judged, so I came in person." He pointed to the shift paper on the table and said, "This is set by the beginning of the month, sometimes they change it in private, and they only come to me the next day, and there are some, not necessarily so accurate." ”
Tang Fengxian frowned.
He has always disliked the tone of Li Ding's speech, as if he never put his own general judgment in his eyes, but since Li Ding's Laozi, he has been a charge in this Ganzhou city, and he does not tell the story of the state government, and he is even more proficient in the law.
When Tang Fengxian had just been sentenced to Ganzhou, he also thought about using Li Ding to establish power, but after only a few days, he found that the other party was entrenched in the state government and had deep power, so he had to wait and see for a while.
Wait and see, wait and see, three years have passed, and he still hasn't been able to do it.
Up and down the state government, most of the officials are only Li Ding's head, to say something ugly, today he took Li Ding from the beginning, tomorrow's yamen will be empty, no one will help him do things.
Thankfully, I'm leaving!
He accepted the shift paper that Li Ding brought over, said a few words, and was about to send him back, but he didn't want the other party to drag the chair closer, so he said suddenly: "General judgment, it will be over in a few days, today and tomorrow, but my nephew is on shift, if there is anything bad, the lower officials will not stand idly by." ”
Tang Fengxian suddenly clenched the paper in his hand, his face was silent, he only looked at Li Ding, and said, "What do you mean by this?" ”
Li Ding snorted, didn't speak, arched his hand, and said goodbye.
Tang Fengxian's face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
It's just a shame to be brushed on the face, but I'm afraid that someone will see through my thoughts......
However, there is no way to be seen through, and he can't delay it any longer.
Tang Fengxian looked at the shift paper in his hand, chose and chosen, but had to choose a day, and called his staff and cronies to discuss it seriously.
Coincidentally, in the post station, Xu Ming was also talking to Gu Yanzhang.
"There is a deficit of about 70,000 guan, in fact, there are some that are clean, but they can also be caught, thinking about saving some face, saving the dog from jumping off the wall in a hurry, it is not all pointed out, counting those, and there is no trace in the account book, Tang Tong sentenced these three years, not to mention 120,000 guan......"
Xu Ming told him all the problems he saw from the account books.
Sitting at the bottom, there is another staff member called Wang Lu, he is a native of Quanzhou, originally studied in Guozijian, after repeated failures, simply traveled around to study, but this year is still not the first, so he gave up the scientific examination.
He has passed the age of not being confused, and this time he came, his wife and daughter stayed in the capital, and he only brought his eldest son with him.
Hearing Xu Ming say this, Wang Lu frowned and said, "Seventy thousand...... This amount is enough for a dog to jump off the wall. ”
He glanced at Xu Ming and suppressed the faint disdain in his heart.
Although the hero is no matter his background, although the other party has been released from the deed, he was indeed just a servant in the past, and he still ushered in the servant who was sent in the shop.
Now that he wants to work with a servant, Wang Lu is a little disgusted.
However, he is not stupid enough to say his thoughts, and after following this way, he has already understood the character of the general judge he is talking to now.
The rest doesn't matter, whoever can do things is valued.
At the moment, this servant still has two brushes.
"Such a large amount of money, if it is said that Tang Tongju will make up for it, it is indeed unlikely." Xu Ming analyzed, "His father-in-law is quite capable and can help him move money, but his annual examination in the past three years is only mediocre, and if he wants to go to that place in Jingzhou, he doesn't have two or three hundred thousand yuan, and he can't even open his mouth." ”
Xu Ming has been in the capital for many years, and he is in charge of the shop, and he knows a little about the way of serving as an official in the court.
"Then you can only change the account book?" Wang Lu interjected.
Gu Yanzhang sat on the top, shook his head, and said: "There are too many problems in his account book, although he is not named, but if he wants to change it and move his whole body, it is better to make a new set, but at this time, he is in a hurry, but it is too late, and it can't be done in one or twenty days." ”
Wang Lu picked up the tea cup on the table, took a sip of the tea inside, frowned and thought for a long time, and said: "Since you can't change the account book, and you are not willing to make up the shortfall, what can you do?" Does he dare not hand it over? ”
