Chapter 276: The Prefect of Qinglong City
Hu Ershu didn't think so: "Now if someone says this about you, I will definitely be the first to disagree, you can read the account book faster than all the bookkeepers I have ever seen read the account book, if you are so modest, see how you will come to me for help in the future." ”
Ye Tiantian scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "When I was in Quzhou in the past, where did I have free time to find a bookkeeper, I know that my mother taught me some simple things, and now I can use it, and it is not a disappointment to my mother's mind." ”
It's rare to hear Ye Tiantian mention her own mother, because everyone seems to have forgotten Ye Tiantian's previous life in the Ye family, but Ye Tiantian is far stronger than he imagined.
The time in the Ye family also trained her in a sense, if she had lived in a comfortable environment since she was a child, she would not have the current Ye Tiantian.
"How's it going? Did you find something? Ye Tiantian shifted the topic back to the right track.
"Here." Hu Ershu handed the wrapped ledger to Ye Tiantian.
"Why would Zheng Qing still leave an account book that was unfavorable to him?" Ye Tiantian had actually discussed this issue with Hu Ershu before, and he didn't know how to explain the subtle rules in this industry to Ye Tiantian.
When Ye Tiantian knew about this, he felt that Zheng Qing should be planted in her hands.
If it were her, there would only be one ledger, and there would be one that was really waiting for her, and this kind of industry norm made her a lot less unnecessary trouble.
"The ledger matter will be handed over to you, he should only find out tomorrow, I asked the transcriber to copy the first half completely, just to buy us a little time, you write down all the doubts you have, and we will send it to the prefect tomorrow." Seeming to be tired, Huershu turned and went back to sleep.
Ye Tiantian, who had finished acting in the Zuixiang Pavilion, couldn't help touching his hair when he saw the new stack of account books.
Ye Tiantian looked at the account book carefully with a candle, and all the money was transferred from the account book of the Drunken Xiang Pavilion to the account of the Qinglong Mansion, it seemed that Zheng Qing was still using the old method of embezzlement of public funds.
Ye Tiantian recorded all the embezzled public funds one by one, and prepared to hand over the things to the prefect.
Early the next morning, when Hu Ershu was about to come down for breakfast, he found that Ye Tiantian had fallen asleep on the table. He quickly found something to drape over her.
"Why didn't you sleep in your room yesterday, what if you catch a cold here in the morning?" Huershu looked at the dense numbers on the table.
"You made this out in one night? No way? Hu Ershu still has a certain judgment on Ye Tiantian's ability, but he really didn't expect Ye Tiantian to read all the account books in one night.
Ye Tiantian was so sleepy that he said to Hu Ershu: "I'll go up to sleep first, and when it's past noon, you remember to wake me up, it's easier to arrest people at night, if Zheng Qing comes over, he will say I'm sick, these things have to be put away, and I finally made it." ”
Hu Ershu helped Ye Tiantian back to the room, put the account book close to him, and wandered around the Qinglong Mansion, and while waiting for Zheng Qing, he went to the Shangshu Mansion to see the situation of the two people.
"Thank you for your hard work, these two people are really safe only with you." Hu Ershu saw that the prefect had sent a few soldiers to guard the two people.
"As long as you can help the county lord of Anguo manage Qinglong City well, it will be the luck of this official." The prefect said with a smile, but the matter of arresting people at night should be arranged well, and it will not be so easy to arrest Zheng Qing if he wants to arrest Zheng Qing back.
"I'll arrange the arrest at night, you try to hold Zheng Qing back, don't let him notice anything." The prefect said with a serious face.
Qinglong Mansion.
"Shopkeeper Zheng can make me wait." Hu Ershu said with a smile.
There was still yesterday's account book in front of him, Zheng Qing went to Zuixiang Pavilion to check the original account book when he went back yesterday, and after finding that there was nothing wrong, he was relieved, and the two missing people were likely to provoke some other enemies.
Hu Ershu saw that Zheng Qing's face was better than yesterday, and he couldn't help but snicker in his heart, as long as you can stabilize yourself, it will be a great help.
After Zheng Qing heard Hu Ershu's words, he hurriedly greeted him and said: "Shopkeeper Hu is getting more and more funny, the account book that I didn't read yesterday, why don't we continue?" ”
Huershu readily agreed.
"However, I see why isn't Shopkeeper Ye here? Is there something going on? Zheng Qing didn't come early today, and this sentence was obviously testing Hu Ershu.
Hu Ershu replied without changing his face: "Yesterday, Miss Ye was making a fuss about taking a bath, who knew that the shopkeeper said that it was too late, and there was no hot water to take a bath, and now she is staring at the hot water in the back, and when she will take a bath, she will naturally come back to find the two of us." ”
"Really?" Zheng Qing was a little puzzled.
At this time, a junior from Qinglong Mansion came over and said: "Shopkeeper, Miss Ye wanted to take a bath yesterday, but the hot water was not enough, fortunately, Miss Ye understood, and now she is waiting in the back, and the water will be sent up later." ”
Generally, if there is anything in the Qinglong Mansion, no matter how big or small, Zheng Qing has to ask.
After listening to what his own people said, Zheng Qing was completely relieved.
"In that case, it should be better for the two of us to take a look first." Zheng Qing began to explain the contents of the account book record to Hu Ershu, and Hu Ershu knew that this was just a formality, so he echoed Zheng Qing.
Ye Tiantian fell asleep in the room, and Hu Ershu took advantage of the rest time to wake her up: "The hour is almost up, I just said that you will take a bath, you prepare, the prefect's side should be almost ready." ”
Ye Tiantian immediately came to his senses.
Hu Ershu flew to the hidden corner downstairs.
"Later, these things will be sent to Tianzi No. 1 room, which are the petals that Miss Ye wanted." A person in charge of bathing in the Qinglong Mansion handed a basket of petals to the person next to him.
"Okay, I'll go now." The person next to him took the petals and prepared to leave.
"Wait, why haven't I seen you here? Did you just come here recently? "The person who was going to prepare the hot water has been in the Qinglong Mansion for a few years, and when he saw the person in front of him, he always felt that he had never seen it.
"I used to be from the Drunken Fragrance Pavilion, and now I've been chosen." Lin Qifeng snorted haha.
"Really? Go ahead. "The person who prepares the hot water feels that something is more and more wrong, there is an unwritten rule in Qinglong City, since the Zuixiang Pavilion opened in Qinglong City, no one in the Zuixiang Pavilion can enter the Qinglong Mansion to do things, and the shopkeeper over there has always helped Zheng Qing monitor the movements.
