Chapter 9 Another set of ledgers
readx;
Yangmei's letter said a lot of things, and it seemed very long, but most of the things were explained in a few sentences, and they seemed very concise. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
First of all, the most important thing for Daliang is now, the Northern Expedition. Emperor Liang ordered the crown prince to supervise the country, and selected several respected old ministers to assist, and began to drive the expedition in person. Because Emperor Liang is in charge of the Chinese army, the two brightest generals in Daliang, Li Ling and Chu Mad are the vanguards of the left and right respectively, and it seems that they are determined to let the two of them fight each other.
Then it was about the matter of Qiu Yu, for people like Yang Mei, they were naturally not interested in things like Zhuangyuan patrolling the streets, but said that Yang Qing and Chu Ping had done very well in the exam, and they had already been registered in the Ministry of Officials, and they would be delegated as soon as there was a vacancy, just that Yang Wan'er locked herself up for a day after the release of the list, and it seemed that she was hit hard, and then said that Xian'er often visited her at home, and even Guan He invited her to play, etc., the words were flat, but in Chu Nan's opinion, it was meaningful.
Finally, he talked about Yang Lin's matter, saying that someone went to Yang's house to propose marriage, and the Yang family was very satisfied with the man, so they waited for Yang Lin to nod, but Yang Lin said that he thought about it, and suddenly left a letter and ran away from home, on the letter, Yang Lin said that the people of the Yang family hated themselves, only the brother-in-law was the last, so he wanted to go to the south to find Chu Nan. Yang Mei didn't blame Chu Nan, but just reminded her to pay attention to Yang Lin's whereabouts, even if she couldn't send her back to Beijing, she had to take care of her.
Chu Nan read the full two-page letter again, and found that in addition to the first sentence of "Jun'an" in a letter from home, I don't know if Yang Mei forgot or felt that there was no need for politeness between the two, so he didn't mention himself again in the future.
Chu Nan received the letter, and just wanted to tell Tang Shu to go out to pay attention to Yang Lin's traces, but remembered that Tang Chu had never seen Yang Lin at all, so he had to give up helplessly, thinking in his heart, it's a big deal to make some big moves in Hangzhou, in that case, as long as Yang Lin is not stupid, it will be easy to find.
In the next few days, Chu Nan ignored the strange eyes of Wang Buregret and others, and wandered around Hangzhou City all day long, fortunately, the new ideas proposed by Chu Nan before were very popular with the people, and the results were immediate, and they could be regarded as having a certain authority, Liang Rang had a laissez-faire attitude, and everyone only thought that he went out to investigate the case.
Chu Nan went out to run for a few days, and finally gave up his plan to rely on luck to find Yang Lin, and returned to the mansion that was said to be the Zhang family's property full of exhaustion.
Wang Defu came to Chu Nan's house with a glass of water with a smile, looked at Chu Nan who was sitting at the table in a daze, and said with a smile: "What, don't you go out today?"
Chu Nan hurriedly got up, asked him to sit down, and said with a wry smile: "I've been tired a lot these days, and I have to rest today, otherwise my body won't be able to bear it." ”
Wang Defu said with a smile: "Young people are not afraid of being tired, and they are still alive when they sleep." But you've been out too often these days, and I can't see you all day long. ”
Chu Nan was a little embarrassed, and sneered: "It's just to go out and look around, and by the way, try to find some new ideas." ”
Wang Defu couldn't help but be happy when he heard that it was a new idea, and deliberately asked: "Then have you thought of a new idea again?" ”
Chu Nan rubbed his eyebrows and covered his eyes, and said, "I haven't thought of a new idea for the time being, but I can't say that I haven't found anything." ”
Wang Defu adjusted his sitting posture and said, "Let's listen to it, you young people can always come up with some new ideas. ”
Chu Nan thought for a while and sighed: "I walked around Hangzhou City inside and out, only to find that the Zhang family really controlled Hangzhou City quietly. If nothing else, let's just talk about the Hebisheng business, I saw that there are shops with the Hebisheng brand on almost every street, from rouge gouache to silk brocade, from jewelry to seafood and mountain goods, almost all of them are sold, and the price seems to be very low, and even I found that there is a special ferry port for Hebisheng outside the city, which is much better than the official ferry when we came, which is really generous. ”
Wang Defu was not surprised, and said lightly: "Hangzhou is the base camp of the Zhang family, and the people of the Zhang family are not stupid, so they naturally have to run it well, and they don't ask the people of Hangzhou to support it, at least they must make the people not resentful." And Hebisheng is the money bag of the Zhang family, and the momentum is naturally bigger, what you see is nothing, no one dares to go around the merchant ships with the flag of Hebisheng on the sea, and in the north, Hebisheng can even collect money first and then slowly give the goods. ”
Chu Nan thought of something again, and couldn't help laughing: "If you want to say that the Zhang family is really good at life, I see that many people don't know about the Zhang family at all, but they praise Hebisheng." ”
Wang Defu nodded and sighed: "Yes, don't talk about ordinary people, even those officials with lower status don't know that the Zhang family stands behind He Bisheng." ”
Chu Nan stretched his waist, looked at the head outside, and said: "The proprietor of Hebisheng has always been a secret, and the Zhang family has never admitted it, but if it is said that only the Zhang family can support such a big business, and it can stand for so many years, I don't believe it." ”
Wang Defu laughed and said: "In this way, the Zhang family is not too strong, at least it is worse than the Chu family in this regard." ”
Chu Nan laughed dryly, he didn't know what to say about this topic.
Since adopting Chu Nan's method, the people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate can be regarded as relieved, although Wang Buregret will drive people out to investigate the case every day, but he can rest for two days in three days, and the case is progressing faster than before, which is really a double win.
Although the case is progressing well, Wang Buregret's face is slowly getting worse and worse, if it weren't for Chu Nan's pressure, I'm afraid I can't help but drive everyone out to investigate the case.
Chu Nan poured water for Wang Buregret, and said with a smile: "Seeing that the case is gradually gaining eyebrows, why is Lord Wang a little unhappy?"
Wang Buregret frowned and sighed: "I took it for granted before, if I continue to investigate like this, I am afraid that everyone will be able to return to Beijing in less than ten days." ”
Chu Nan asked curiously, "Isn't it good to be able to make a difference?" Isn't this the result that everyone is looking forward to?"
Wang Buregret simply put down the teacup and said bluntly: "Look at the current situation, all the faults have been pushed to Zhang Mingjing, who has been born and dead, and it is all his fault, there is nothing wrong in the south, and the Zhang family is even more innocent, but my subordinate who was destroyed died in vain?"
Chu Nan's face remained unchanged, and he said lightly: "Lord Wang is cautious, there are some things that cannot be said nonsense. ”
Wang Buregret's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "Lord Chu, that's a family of five people, that's a Qing official who has worked hard for Liang all his life but died miserably, I really don't understand whether you have seen through the world or are cold-blooded." ”
Chu Nan pursed his lips and said expressionlessly: "I guessed this result when the Zhang family sent someone to bring that master, and I also remind you not to be too optimistic, but you didn't listen to it." ”
Wang Buregret also knew that his tone was a little rushed, and after listening to Chu Nan's words, he said embarrassedly: "My lord, forgive me, I am also confused." ”
Chu Nan didn't care, and said with a smile: "Let's go, it seems that Miss Qin Feng asked someone to bring a letter, saying that she remembered something again, you can go and take a look with me." It's a pity that you've wasted my good tea again. ”
Wang Buregret smiled bitterly and looked at the tea that was already cold on the table, and said, "Next time I come again, the adults will let someone give me water from the well." ”
It's still Mingyue Tower, or the old bustard who still has the charm, Chu Nan took out another hundred taels of silver to send the old bustard, just asking not to embarrass Qin Feng. The old bustard was noncommittal, just twisted his huge hips and walked away.
Qin Feng was quite disappointed with Chu Nan's performance last time, and asked a little angrily, "What are you doing here?" I don't have time to grind your teeth with you. ”
Wang Buregret frowned and said, "Miss Qin, just now Master Chu spent money to make that old bustard not embarrass you in the future, how can you talk like that?"
Qin Feng's face softened, and he muttered a little embarrassedly: "What can you do with a few hundred taels of silver? ”
Chu Nan shook his head, not interested in this topic, and said: "I heard that Miss Qin remembered some things again, maybe it is very important for the case we investigated, so I will come over to take a look and ask the girl to talk about it." ”
Qin Feng then remembered this, and said vaguely: "Yes, my father used to be the intermediary between the Zhang family and the pirates, and I seem to remember something about the ledger again, so I called you here." ”
Wang Buregret said anxiously: "Miss Qin, why didn't you tell me earlier, hurry up and say, I've been going crazy lately." ”
Qin Feng rolled his eyes and said angrily: "I said it all, I just thought about it." ”
Chu Nan motioned to Wang Buregret to be quiet, and asked, "Miss Qin, don't worry, speak slowly, the more detailed the better."
Maybe it was because of the silver that Chu Nan threw out just now, Qin Feng grabbed his hair and recalled vigorously, Chu Nan kept nodding after listening, Wang Buregret but seemed to understand whether he understood or not, and was a little confused.
Chu Nan's fingers tapped rapidly on the table, and he muttered: "According to Miss Qin's intentions, the book left by Ling Zun is not complete, and there is another account book, which is used to reconcile accounts with pirates and the Zhang family." “
Qin Feng nodded reluctantly and said, "Listen to my father's words, there is another set of account books, I heard that it is because of the change of master, and also for the convenience of reconciliation, this accounting method is called ...... Called............"
Chu Nan said lightly: "It's called double-entry accounting." ”
Qin Feng nodded again and again, and Wang Buregret's face was full of surprise.
Chu Nan came out of Mingyue Tower, the whole person was a little distracted, Wang Buregret wanted to ask a few times, but when he saw Chu Nan's appearance, he didn't open his mouth in the end.
Chu Nan was stunned and thought about something, and accidentally bumped into a passerby, Chu Nan just said sorry, the man grabbed Chu Nan's arm and said angrily: "Brother-in-law, you are so hateful, you said that you came to investigate the case, but you obviously came to visit the Qinglou." ”
