In the evening, the backyard of the county government can be regarded as tidying up, and Zhang Jian instructed the attendants to call a few tables of banquets in the backyard to catch the wind for everyone. Zhang Jian warmly greeted everyone to the table, and Han Qian naturally sat down under Zhang Jian and several other people.

Several guards were afraid and said that they didn't dare to say that they were lowly and didn't dare to sit at the same table with adults.

Zhang Jian said unhappily: "Today is to wash the dust to catch the wind, and there is no dignity or humility. ”

Several people had no choice but to sit down one after another, Zhang Jian looked at one of them and said thoughtfully: "I see that you have a good face, it seems that you have seen it somewhere." ”

The excited guard said: "It's a shame that the adults can still remember me, and my subordinate Lu Qinggong." ”

Zhang Jian patted his head and suddenly remembered, "Oh, I remembered that you are the camp gate guard of the Jin'an military camp!" It's really fateful to be able to meet here in filial piety today, and hurry up. ”

After a few people sat down, Zhang Jian raised his glass and said loudly: "Jian Dewei is shallow, when he first arrived at the side of Xiaoping's governance, he was very grateful to be able to get your help, and today he has a glass of wine to express his gratitude." "Drink it all.

The first few people also stood up and raised their glasses and drank them all, "My lord is kind, we must do our best." ”

Early the next morning, Zhang Jian ascended to the hall in front of the ya, Han Qian and Lv Qinggong stood around, and the hall was divided into counties. Master Book. County Lieutenant. Transcript. Officials of the Zoshi. This meeting was very harmonious, there was no imaginary tension and intrigue, and there was no imaginary dismount, Zhang Jian just made a show to get to know the officials present and greeted them politely, and then announced that they would end the meeting and go back to their respective homes.

After leaving the hall, Zhang Jian invited Han Qian to the study, after all, it was clear how many catties and taels he had. When he first arrived, he didn't dare to rush into trouble in the front hall, and now that Han Qian was by his side, he still needed to ask for more advice.

"Ziyuan's letter said that Mr. is good at government affairs and laws, so according to Mr. Yuan's opinion, what should be the matter at hand now?"

Han Qian couldn't help but laugh when he heard Zhang Jian's question; "My lord has served as the chief bookkeeper under the command of the prince before, so could it be that I am being taught by me?"

Zhang Jian shook his head and smiled: "Mr. misunderstood, Jane's previous appointment was just a name, not as alone as now, and I ask Mr. to give advice." ”

Han Qian said: "Your Excellency has just arrived, and the most important thing is to check the treasury and files to ensure that there are no omissions or mistakes that will cause you to suffer. ”

Zhang Jian nodded: "What Mr. said is very true, I heard that Xiaoping's predecessor county commander was old and sick, and the government affairs in this county were entrusted to Song Zewen, the county leader, and I will send someone to invite Song County Cheng to deal with this matter later." ”

"Fortunately, it is now past the time to collect the autumn grain, if it coincides with that trouble, there will be more troubles, and I often participate in county and county affairs by the side of the eldest prince, and I know that the county treasury is empty, and now I am appointed by the eldest prince to assist the adult, Han Qianding should do his best for the sake of the adult."

Han Qian mentioned that the deficit of the treasury reminded Zhang Jian of his helplessness when he was in Fuzhou for disaster relief half a year ago, but he didn't expect that now it was his turn, and there were some things that he really couldn't hide if he wanted to, I hope God will bless it.

But what happened next was to give Zhang Jian a blow to the head, and the person who was sent to invite Song Zewen just now came back to report that Song Zewen, the county leader, was sick and took leave. 'Leave? 'Wasn't he still there when he ascended to the hall in the morning, and he got sick after only half a day?'

Zhang Jian hurriedly asked if there was a reason for mentioning it when he invited Song Zewen? After getting the affirmation of the Yacha, Zhang Jian's face instantly turned extremely cold. Let's not talk about whether Song Zewen's move is refuting his own face, he wants to check the treasury and the dossier, but he deliberately dodges, a fool can feel that there is a problem here, it seems that this matter must be not small, otherwise he would not be like this. Zhang Jian no longer hesitated, and immediately called Lu Qinggong and Han Qian to go straight to the treasury.

Zhang Jian's arrival did not give any warning, and Ge Nan, the treasurer who guarded the treasury, saw that several people were menacing, his face was not good, and he seemed to feel something, and he knelt on the ground with a pale face and did not dare to raise his head.

"Open the library!" Zhang Jian coldly spit out two words.

"My lord! This..."Ge Nan almost lay on the ground, trembling.

"Do I have to say it again? Or do you mean that I, the county magistrate appointed by the imperial court, do not count? ”

"The subordinates don't dare, the subordinates don't dare, I'll open, I'll open!"

As the iron lock slid down, the door of the Xiaoping Mansion Treasury slowly opened, and the county summer treasury, which stored a county's property, weapons, and documents, saw that the first four words Zhang Jian said were 'empty'.

"Hahaha!"

"Hahaha!"

Zhang Jian couldn't stop laughing, God would really joke with himself, no matter how bad the official warehouse of Fuzhou Mansion was, there was still some food, and the empty treasury of Xiaoping Mansion could run away.

"Does this Xiaoping have any other treasury?" Zhang Jian asked in a daze

Ge Nan's eyes wandered and he spit out a few words for a long time: "Back to my lord, Xiaoping only has this one treasury." ”

Zhang Jian was about to have a seizure, and Han Qian stood up on the side and comforted: "Don't be anxious, my lord, the treasury is not overnight, now you should pay the account book and check it from the beginning, it is useless to fight with these people here." ”

Han Qian's persuasion restored Zhang Jian's clarity, and Zhang Jian immediately ordered the detention of the treasurer Ge Nan, and ordered Lu Qinggong to lead people to collect the account books of each division. But for the county Cheng Song Zewen, Zhang Jian did not act rashly, not to mention whether Song Zewen would admit guilt, but said that this county Cheng is also an official of the imperial court, and he currently has no conclusive evidence, and it is illegal to detain the county Cheng without authorization, and whether he can suppress this county Cheng with a newcomer to the county is still two words.

At sunset, Lu Qinggong came back to restore his life, and the account books of all divisions were collected. It stands to reason that this should be a good thing, but to Zhang Jian's surprise, he made such a big move, and no one jumped out to contradict him in the summer heat, which is completely unreasonable, and even Han Qian can't help but worry about whether there is any conspiracy here.

As the saying goes, there is no impermeable wall in the world, not to mention that Zhang Jian didn't want to avoid anyone when he acted this time. As a result, the news that the new county magistrate had collected the account books and checked the treasury on the first day of his appointment spread far and wide, and the people outside rushed to tell each other, but the county office was still calm, as if the matter had nothing to do with them.

After spending another five days in this strange atmosphere, Han Qian finally cleared all the account books after working day and night, but the result surprised Zhang Jian. In the entire Xiaoping County for two and a half years, there was only no entry and exit, and it cannot be said that there was no entry, to be precise, it should be called making ends meet.

Even Han Qian was unaware of this kind of result, even if the collection was insufficient or the state and county were transferred, it would not be possible to empty the entire treasury in two and a half years, and the most important thing was that the accounts and accounts were completely incompatible, which meant that a large part of the property was not handed over or lost, but disappeared out of thin air.
