"Actually, this is not the first time this kind of thing has happened," Tong Wen continued: "In recent years, Lingtian has been missing dozens of acres every year, and this year is especially excessive. This year's Lingtian Book has been reduced by 80 acres, and in three years, the county has lost 200 acres of spiritual fields......" He said and sighed: "Even the Linggu handed over has been reduced by almost one percent! Can the county lord not be angry?"

Wu Daotian nodded, the number of Lingtian and the Linggu paid every year are the main criteria for assessing the county lord, the county lord of Wei has just been in office for three years, and the Lingtian is decreasing every year, and the county lord of Wei is in front of the lord of the mansion, and he will definitely have to eat and hang.

In fact, if Wei Ziyang is labeled as incompetent, he will be demoted or even dismissed from his official post! This is unacceptable to the ambitious Wei Ziyang under any circumstances.

"So what?" Seeing Tong Wen pursing his lips and glaring at him, Wu Daotian had no choice but to ask in a low voice.

Therefore, the eldest lord sent the Lingtian book back to the house and re-checked it within a time limit. "The Lingtian Book is revised every year, and then the Lingtian deed is re-stamped with the official seal, which is also the basis for the government to collect taxes. Tong Wendao: "Although he is already in a hurry, the eldest master knows that if there is no way to rectify them, I am afraid that my nephew will still play the lantern - as usual!"

"So what about ......" Wu Daotian knew that he couldn't dodge a knife, so he simply asked directly.

"Therefore, we want you to go to the house as a clerk for half a year to collect evidence of their deception. Tong Wen smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about not being able to gain a foothold in the future, you just need to secretly give me the evidence to ensure that no one knows that you did it." ”

Wu Daotian was furious in his heart, you have a son and no asshole Tongwen, you are not a native of Bacheng, then the county lord of Wei has been an official for a few years, patted his ass and left, Lao Tzu's family is in Bacheng, if this kind of thing spreads, I will become a rat that everyone in Bacheng County shouts and beats!

When the time comes, the officials hate him, the squire hates him, and the mayor hates him, will he still have the law to stay in the city? Once this reputation is ruined,......

Although he greeted Master Tong's eighteenth generation ancestor in his heart, Wu Daotian didn't dare to refuse this guy, offending him was offending the county lord, and he couldn't mix it up, and all his follow-up plans couldn't be implemented.

"Let me go back and think about it......" Wu Daotian scratched his head and said sincerely: "I went to work on the first day, and I was still confused......

"No!" Tong Wen said categorically, what kind of joke, if the old fox in Wangshan knew, he would definitely not agree. He said in a deep voice: "Wu Daotian, this is the county lord's trust in you, whether you agree or not, you have to reply on the spot." After a pause, he shamelessly threatened: "If you agree, no matter whether this thing is successful or not, you are the county lord's henchman." If you don't agree, hehe...... The county lord is magnanimous. ”

"Then, okay......" Wu Daotian nodded depressedly and said, "I'll do my best." ”

"It's not about doing your best, it's about succeeding!" Tong Wen said in a deep voice: "Also, no one can tell this matter, including you Uncle Wangshan, if you leak the news, you are the only one who asks!"

"Got it......" Wu Daotian nodded hurriedly and said, "I definitely won't tell others." ”

"You don't have to say goodbye to the master, just go back. Tong Wen waved his hand and entered the public house of the county lord of Wei.

In the room, the county lord of Wei had been paying attention to the conversation between the two with his divine sense, and when he saw Tong Wen coming in, he asked, "Can it be done?"

"Hanging. Tong Wen sighed and said: "This kid is a thief, and he retreated when he heard it, although he agreed, he couldn't believe it all......"

"Alas," the county lord of Wei said with a sinking heart when he heard this: "People say, 'Let your officials be as clear as water, how can the enemy be as smooth as oil', and this Bacheng County is even more colluded with officials to gang up to trap me as an outsider." Unexpectedly, the newcomers who entered the yamen on the first day knew which way to sit on their buttocks. ”

"Hehe, dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, the son of mice will make holes, this kid has a family history, and naturally he can't be regarded as a newcomer. Tong Wen smiled slyly: "But there are advantages and disadvantages, while he enjoys his father's connections, he also inherited his father's enemies." I heard that Lin Mao, the head of the household, and his father are enemies who can't be separated for a lifetime......"

"You mean?"

"When he was brought back to life by Lin Mao, he would think of us. Tong Wen laughed gloomily.

"Sir, what a trick!" said the county lord of Wei with great joy when he heard this.

Out of the public house, Wu Daotian secretly took a sip. He just agreed to Tong Wen, but he just dealt with the past first, and he never thought about being this undercover agent.

After sorting out his mood, Wu Daotian returned to the officer's room, and a group of scholars asked, "How is it, where is it?"

"Hufang, the county lord asked me to exercise in Hufang ......for a year," Wu Daotian said with a wry smile.

"Ah......" a bookrunner said to himself, "Look at my crow's mouth." ”

"What does this have to do with my brother, it's my bad luck. Wu Daotian shook his head and said.

"Alas, take care, brother. The scholar patted him on the shoulder, went in and made Gao Mingli clear, and then a green-shirted warden came out and said, "I'll take you there." ”

"I'm tired. Wu Daotian said respectfully.

"Let's go. The warden led him to the opposite house. The house affairs are the most complicated, occupying two whole rows of houses. The warden took Wu Daotian to the middle room of the second row, and when he announced, a tall and thin man in a green shirt with a gloomy face greeted him.

"Secretary Lin, this is the new book assigned to your room, I brought it to you. The warden said, handing him a stack of papers.

That person was Lin Mao, the household secretary, and he squeezed out a smile and said, "Brother Lao, go in for tea?"

"Another day, I still have something to do, so I'll go back first. The warden politely declined.

"It's fine. Lin Mao nodded, and as soon as the warden left, the only smile on his face disappeared, and he turned around and went into the room and said, "Come in." ”

"I've heard too much of your notoriety! I can guess how you got in. After Wu Daotian stood in the room, Lin Mao sat behind the table, and then said mercilessly: "The officials should be filled with good people, and you scoundrels with bad deeds can actually get in!

Wu Daotian lowered his head and sighed in his heart and said, Tong Wen, I greet your ancestors......

"If you're smart, find a way to transfer you to another room. Lin Mao said coldly: "Otherwise, just wait for me to drive you out of the room!" said and waved his hand, like a fly: "Go out!"

Sitting at his desk, Wu Daotian was still stunned, life is really sad and joyful......

Coming out of Lin Mao's room, a white servant led him to the next room, which was full of account books. In the gap between the account books, there are several tables, and behind each table sits a busy white-shirted bookkeeper.

The white servant explained to the people inside and went out, several clerks raised their heads, or looked at Wu Daotian indifferently, sympathetically, or gloatingly, or a fourteen or fifteen-year-old boy with a round face stood up, helped him clean up a table and came out, and smiled at him: "You sit down for a while, I'll be busy for a while." ”

Wu Daotian smiled at him gratefully, and sat down at the table, he didn't know what to do, he wanted to help others, but he couldn't intervene.

Since he had nothing to do, Wu Daotian simply sat there in a daze, experiencing the 'Taiyin Water Sutra' and the 'Red Yang Fire Sutra' over and over again in his heart.

The others saw Wu Daotian sitting there motionless like a fool, and slowly lost interest.
