60. Audit turmoil

Wei Xiu'er sighed exaggeratedly: "If you want me to say, why do you bother to do such a thankless job, whether you are promoted or not, is it so important?" is just a palace maid, even if she becomes a high-level female official, she still won't be the master of this piece of red bricks and tiles, just a slave, so what do you do seriously? ”

You'an knows that the difference between her life ideals and Wei Xiu'er is too great. Wei Xiu'er, who grew up smoothly since she was a child, her biggest worry is that she can't compare which prince is the most handsome, she must not understand that sooner or later, she must enter the Hanliang Hall with the most perfect posture.

"I won't check it myself," You'an pinched her cheek, "I'm just here to find out first, so as not to be frightened by a few words, you wait, in a few days, someone will take the initiative to jump out." ”

Sure enough, as she expected, the palace maid of the Inner Sixth Bureau made such a fuss, and some people couldn't sit still, so they looked for a way three times and twice, and made suggestions to Queen Wu, suggesting that the income and expenditure accounts of the Inner Sixth Bureau be thoroughly investigated. Among them, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is the most enthusiastic about this matter, and several internal servants who have learned some calculations and accounts have taken the initiative to ask for help and are willing to assist the Shanggong Bureau in a thorough investigation.

You'an naturally also thought about the reason why the Ministry of Internal Affairs was so enthusiastic. Originally, the Ministry of Internal Service was in charge of the reception of the imperial front and the purchase and expenditure of the palace, although it was a eunuch, the status was very delicate, and ordinary courtiers did not dare to embarrass them, and they also sent rich rewards in private to probe the emperor's joy and anger. But since the emperor's head wind disease has become more and more serious, and Empress Wu has acted as the government of the court, the status of the Inner Servant Province has not been as good as before.

It's easy for the Ministry of Internal Affairs to seize this opportunity, even if it can't take away some of the power, it is good to make the Inner Sixth Bureau lose face.

Empress Wu naturally would not personally ask about these trivial matters, and casually assigned them to He Shanggong to arrange them. Just in time, the vassal state of the previous state had just handed over the letter of state, and after coming to the court to see the emperor, He Shanggong was very busy, so he sent another layer down. This faction sent a very embarrassing person to You'an, it was the little scholar girl who had met twice. It's just that I haven't seen each other for a while, and these little scholar girls have also been promoted, and they are already official scholar girls in the Hongwen Museum.

was officially introduced by the palace maid, and she finally knew that this tall girl, surnamed Shangguan, was once a surname of Xuanhe in the Manchu Dynasty.

You'an rarely has such awkward emotions in people, because she understands too well the mentality of "everyone is for himself", and she doesn't think there is anything wrong with this, but she just can't get close to Shangguan Wan'er.

Compared with those beauties recognized nowadays, Shangguan Wan'er's face is too plain and monotonous, but she has a special temperament, and she knows that she has read poetry and books at a glance. Because of this, no matter what she says, it is always easy to believe. The Sixth Bureau of Internal Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs had no meaning for her to supervise and audit the accounts, but instead ignored You'an, the female history who was really in charge of punishment.

Between craftsmen and scholars, there has been an unclear lawsuit since ancient times. In the eyes of Confucianism, the ability to make elaborate mechanisms and beautiful utensils relies on nothing more than ingenious tricks and tricks, which make people lose their minds. But in the eyes of skilled craftsmen, everything must be based on their ability to speak, what kind of ability is it to only move their mouths? You'an told herself that she didn't like this Shangguan Wan'er because she couldn't lose face in front of the descendants of poetry and books after being a craftsman.

When a few willow boxes loaded with account books were moved into Rong'en Pavilion, You'an finally couldn't help it, and stepped forward to ask, "Since Shangguan Niangzi was ordered to supervise, don't you need to verify the authenticity of these accounts?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er's emotions seemed to never fluctuate, and she smiled slightly and asked, "I haven't opened it at all, where can I determine whether it's true or false?" So many people here, so many pairs of eyes staring, looking at it little by little, there is something suspicious, and you can always find out. ”

The way she smiled and spoke was exactly the same as when she was at the Dongshi Embroidery Workshop and Li Dan's side that day. She herself is not angry, but she is a good hand at provoking others to be angry, and asked the palace maid to step forward and open the boxes one by one: "An Niang, if you have a good way to directly identify the authenticity, then let us open our eyes." If not, then divide the books and let them begin, time is very tight. ”

You'an was squeezed by her words like this, if she couldn't find something, she wouldn't be able to get over her face, and in the next few days, she would have to wear a hat of "nothing to do and waste time".

Her eyes swept around a few willow boxes, and she suddenly reached out and took out an account book and put it in front of Shangguan Wan'er: "The color of this cover wood is obviously lighter than the previous and previous volumes, which means that it is not bound with the same batch of wood, is this suspicious?" ”

Shangguan Wan'er didn't even move her fingers, and said: "When binding this book, it happened to use other wood as the cover, and it is not impossible. I'm afraid that this alone is not convincing to say that the account books are fake, but you still have to read the content to know. ”

You'an casually flipped through the two pages: "Don't read this content, the content of an account book should be a little recorded today, a little tomorrow, and by the time the whole book is finished, all the papers should be obsolete and curled, but the paper in this book is all new, so it can be seen that this account book is simply recompiled." ”

As soon as the words came out, the people who were originally waiting to see the excitement all looked up at You'an, this kind of detail sounds simple, but if no one talks about it, it is not so easy to notice.

Shangguan Wan'er turned around and turned to the person from the Inner Sixth Bureau: "Who sent this book, come out and explain it yourself." ”
