Midori didn't follow.

Ye Qianyun asked curiously, "Why don't you go?" ”

Midori shook his head and didn't answer.

Ye Qianyun had already seen that there was a problem between Lu Qiu and Erbao. Especially recently, after Erbao likes to take Tang Mi out to mess around, Green Qiu always gives people a sour feeling.

In the final analysis, the reason for this is easy to guess.

Ye Qianyun didn't want to say more, so it was better for them to find out by themselves.

"Then you and follow me to the front yard."

Chu Ren was originally guarding outside the house, but when he saw Ye Qianyun coming, he immediately greeted him.

"Say hello to the mistress." Chu Ren said, "The lord is angry inside." ”

Ye Qianyun heard the roar coming from the house, and it seemed that the fire was not small: "What's the matter?" ”

"There are many shops under the name of the Tang Mansion, and it is an old rule to start checking the accounts after autumn." Chu Ren explained, "In the past two days, the account books of several shops on the border have been delivered one after another, and without exception, there are problems. ”

"Shops on the border? Which side is it close to? ”

"Bei Liang."

It seems that the house will have to scold for a while.

A few people went to the gazebo in the courtyard, and Lu Qiu found tea and pastries, sat down and chatted slowly.

Ye Qianyun asked, "Has this been the case before?" ”

Chu Ren shook his head, it was because he hadn't done it, so this time Tang Yanqiu had such a big fire: "Beiliang has been restless in the past two years, and this kind of thing has happened to the shops on the border again, no wonder the lord is so angry." ”

"I think it's not ......right," Ye Qianyun said, "I know that Bei Liang is ambitious, and he dares to do things blatantly at this time, aren't you afraid of being caught?" What went wrong with those accounts? ”

"I just listened to it, as if it was a false account and a false statement of profits."

"There have been no natural disasters in the past two years, and the shops are operating normally, so judging from the situation in previous years, even if it is a loss, it is not a big problem. Moreover, the Tang Mansion has always been kind to them, as long as they don't violate the bottom line, they don't care. Whether it is a loss or a gain, it is good to report it truthfully, why do you want to cheat? ”

Chu Ren said: "Several shops on the border are falsely reporting their interests and exaggerating their own profits. ”

Ye Qianyun understood: "The accounts can only be faked by themselves, so Yanqiu is worried that the people from Beiliang have infiltrated it." ”

"The border near Beiliang has always been an important defensive deployment for us in recent years. Silently, Bei Liang just seeped in. Chu Ren frowned and said worriedly, "Not to mention the deployments we have made for the border shops over the years, judging from the current situation, there is no security that we left it alone before." ”

Like Tang Mansion, everyone with a large number of shops under its umbrella can't keep an eye on every shop in person. The focus is still on some shops that lose money all year round and can't make a profit.

Most of the border shops belong to this kind of shop, and they have always been taken care of by the lord himself every year.

If these shops are profitable and no longer receive the attention of various houses, what use can they be for Beiliang? A few remote shops, far away from the Tang Mansion, even if they are controlled, what can they do?

Ye Qianyun shook his head: "If it is really related to Beiliang, then how could Han Rong choose this time to visit the Tang Mansion?" ”

"What do you mean?"

"The time of the Tang Mansion's audit is not a secret, you can know it by asking casually. moved other people's things, and dared to blatantly run to other people's houses, how bold did Han Rong have to dare to do this. ”

Chu Ren thought for a while: "A dissolute and unruly gentleman should not have much guts. ”

"Han Rong is the most favored young master of the Beiliang Han clan, and he can be involved in this kind of thing of sending people into the Tang Mansion, and it is impossible for him to hide the matter of the border shop. Besides, what's the use of controlling a few small shops on the border? If you want to send people and things to Dongshu, there are other better ways to use it, so why bother? ”

Back then, Xijin quietly stuffed people into Balong City, and the Tang Mansion lowered his eyelids. That Bei Liang, it won't even be comparable to Xijin's ability.

Suddenly, a tea bowl flew out of the room and fell hard in the courtyard.

This is a force that a few elderly shopkeepers can't do.

Ye Qianyun hurriedly entered the house to check the situation, and just happened to hear Tang Yanqiu roaring angrily: "What does Shopkeeper Wei want to hint at me with this insinuation!" ”

The shopkeeper surnamed Wei stiffened his neck and said: "The lord turned his face like this and didn't admit it, and pushed everything on a few of us old things, and wanted to add to the crime, what else can we say!" ”

Tang Yanqiu was in the upper position and was about to say something, when Ye Qianyun came in and interrupted him with a smile.

"Don't be angry, your anger hurts your body."

Ye Qianyun smiled and saluted the old shopkeepers. The other party was angry, but he didn't come at Ye Qianyun, he returned the salute and made his position clear.

"What is it that makes a few people so angry?" Ye Qianyun looked back at Tang Yanqiu above, "But what did the Lord Monarch do wrong and annoy a few people?" ”

Someone opened their mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, they just sighed.

The shopkeeper surnamed Nawei stepped forward and said to Ye Qianyun: "Yun Niang, it's not that a few of us are making trouble, the problem on this account is clearly a secret letter from the house, asking us to do this!" ”

According to the words of several shopkeepers, the Tang Mansion sent them secret letters before, asking them to make a false appearance of profit on the books, and to do it without showing traces.

Several shopkeepers said in unison, it was impossible to lie.

Tang Yanqiu, on the other hand, has never sent such a secret letter.

When he saw the accounts today, with Tang Yanqiu's ability, he still found those problematic places, and called a few shopkeepers to ask, but said that he asked for this.

The two sides confronted each other, and the more they talked, the more angry they became.

One said that he had never given such an order, and the other said that he had received a secret letter and did as he was told.

In addition, Tang Yanqiu was worried that Bei Liang was playing ghosts, so if he said a few more words, he became angry.

The so-called secret documents are confidential documents issued directly by the lord of the Tang Mansion to the shopkeepers, which are stamped with the private seal of the lord. Even the people who sent the mail were all cronies of the absolute faith around the lord, and generally, it was sent by Chu Ren.

Several shopkeepers have seen Chu Ren in the mansion in the past, but they all said that the person who sent the secret document was not Chu Ren.

It shouldn't have happened, but it happened. Several shopkeepers said that if they knew this, they should have brought the secret letter with them.

Now let people go back to get it, the back and forth time is too long, whether it is Tang Yanqiu or a few shopkeepers, there is no time to wait for so long at the moment.

Ye Qianyun appeased a few shopkeepers and asked them to sit down and rest for a while. Then he walked up to Tang Yanqiu and asked him, according to the shopkeeper's words, to write the same secret document.

Tang Yanqiu did so, and Ye Qianyun thoughtfully took out the private seal from the box and handed it over.

After writing it, Ye Qianyun picked it up, walked to a few shopkeepers, verified them one by one, and asked, "A few shopkeepers, what is the difference between what is written on this and what you received?" ”

Several people circulated to each other, and they exchanged words and asked questions.

After a while, someone shouted, "No...... No, no, here...... Lao Wei, let's take a look, is this ......?"

There was a flurry of exchanges, but this time, there was obvious panic on the faces of several people.

"Yours, but that's all the way?"

"Speaking of which, it's indeed ......"

"Is it really ......?"

Ye Qianyun had been standing beside him, smiling and looking at several shopkeepers.

There was a low discussion over there, and in the end, it was Shopkeeper Wei who stood up.

First to Tang Yanqiu's heart, and then to Ye Qianyun, after doing it, the shopkeeper Wei said, "The secret letter we received...... It shouldn't have been sent by the sovereign. ”

Ye Qianyun and Tang Yanqiu glanced at each other.

Shopkeeper Wei continued: "It is impossible for us to mistake the handwriting on it, and it is indeed similar to what the lord himself wrote. But something was wrong with the seal. ”

Ye Qianyun asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Shopkeeper Wei laughed at himself: "Blame us, we didn't even find out." If Yun Niang hadn't come today, let Yanqiu write another one, so that we found the problem. Otherwise, we really think that the secret document is what Yanqiu meant. ”

Someone handed the paper back to Ye Qianyun, and Tang Yanqiu also came over at this time and looked at it with Ye Qianyun.

Shopkeeper Wei explained: "Yanqiu has a habit of stamping, no matter how much or how little is written on the paper, he will put down the seal in the lower left corner, close to the edge of the paper, just like the one on this one. ”

That's right, Tang Yanqiu has such a problem. Maybe not many people knew about it before, but after he became the lord, he often had to deal with some documents or something, and this stamping problem gradually became no stranger.

"But the secret documents we received, the stamps on them, were all followed by the text and pasted with the signature." Shopkeeper Wei's face darkened, "Looking at Yanqiu's appearance today, I'm afraid those secret documents really didn't come from the lord." ”

There was an embarrassment in the room.

Tang Yanqiu bowed and apologized for his rude just now.

"No, no, no, it's up to us to apologize." Shopkeeper Wei said, "We didn't find a problem, and we still yelled at the lord, it's our fault." ”

Ye Qianyun came out of the round: "Several shopkeepers are old ministers of the Tang Mansion, and the time spent doing things for the Tang Mansion is older than me." In this matter, the lord did not suspect a few people, but he was flustered, afraid that something would really happen and hurt a few more shopkeepers. Fang Cai's tone was a little rushed, a few elders, but don't take it to heart. ”

Tang Yanqiu said that this matter will definitely be investigated, and the reputation of several shopkeepers must not be damaged. Ye Qianyun asked for secrecy, so as not to startle the snake.

When leaving, someone said to the people around him: "Yun Niang looks different from before. ”

The man nodded approvingly: "It's different, now, it's more personable, more like a housewife." ”

"The housewife of the Tang Mansion, not bad."

In the house, Tang Yanqiu posted it with a smile and said to Ye Qianyun: "It's good that you are here today, otherwise I really don't know what will happen." ”

The shopkeepers of the border shops are the oldest, and they have always been loyal to the Tang Mansion.

Today's events will inevitably not make people think of some bad situations, such as loyal ministers, who once rebelled or something.

In addition, it may be related to Bei Liang, as Chu Ren said before, Tang Yanqiu must have felt that his deployment in the past few years has been superfluous.

Too much bad news fills the mind, and people will be confused, that is, confused.
