"The tribute land of Shuangxi is under the management of Xue Zongwu, and Qian Yu is his own person, to put it mildly, the products and income of Shuangxi must first pass through the hands of Xue Zongwu, and then be sent to the country. He has used Qian Yu to audit the accounts for so many years, and only he and Qian Yu know best what is going on with that money and that account. ”

Therefore, the big hole hidden in the accounts is also what he fears to be known; Qian Yu was robbed, indicating that it is likely that someone is also eyeing these accounts. He Lingchuan said, "Once people start to worry and start to be anxious, their judgment will decline. We only need to add some evidence, and he will focus on it. ”

"You ......" Dong Rui was short of words for a while, "Do you want to clean up the aftermath for those men in black?" ”

"So to speak." He Lingchuan sighed, he was really depressed, "Not only for their good, but also for our good." ”

Dong Rui gave him a thumbs up. It was only a quarter of an hour after Qian Yu's accident, and He Lingchuan figured out all the stakes, and he could make up for it and muddy the water.

Dong Rui admits that he doesn't have this ability to adapt.

He Lingchuan continued: "I happened to learn from Qian Yu last night that the accounts handed over to him for review were all stored in the clerical warehouse in the west wing of the mansion, and he worked there every day. ”

"Got it." This alley leads directly to the back door of the government. Seeing that there was no one left and right, Dong Rui released the bat demon puppet and went in for He Lingchuan to explore the way first.

After half burning incense, the bat flew back again and landed on Dong Rui's shoulder.

"There was a mess inside, the officials were sent out to find someone, and the officials gathered together to discuss things, but the west chamber was empty, and there was probably a document warehouse you wanted to go to." At this time, the people in the government were panicked, and the local officials received the urging of the guards of the Xue Mansion, and they were half dead in fear and half in a hurry, who still had time to take care of what documents and treasury?

He Lingchuan nodded, took out the skin of Boshan Jun and draped it on his body, and climbed over the wall to enter the Frost Creek Mansion.

Dong Rui pointed into the wall, and the bat flew in again.

Then Dong Rui turned his heel and left.

He specially went around to the front of the government office and bought three multigrain steamed buns at the stall, as well as a bowl of sour flour gnocchi soup. The steamed buns are a little rough, and the soup is too sour, but it doesn't affect his snoring.

Before the third steamed bun was finished, I saw a fire in the west chamber of the mansion, accompanied by bursts of shouting.

"It's on fire, it's on fire in the West Chamber!"

Oh, could it be that the clerical warehouse is on fire?

"Extinguish the fire! Hurry up, hurry up! Oops, there are thieves! ”

"He went over the wall, chase!"

Dong Rui was stunned when he heard it. Can He Lingchuan be caught stealing something?

Deliberately, right?

He patronized the theater and slowed down the pace of eating.

When he saw the bottom of a bowl of pimple soup, he saw four or five officials rushing back to the mansion, and he was also anxious.

The government is really lively today.

"Five more steamed buns." He paid and walked out, and the bat flew quietly and slipped into his backpack.

This small eyeliner said that the west chamber of the Fangcai Mansion suddenly caught fire, and the officials sent people to check, but they saw a man in black rushing out of the clerical warehouse in the west chamber, climbing over the wall and leaving, still holding a stack of materials in his hand.

The official went to chase, and the man in black accidentally dropped a book when he ran away, and the former picked it up and saw that it was an account book.

In the end, of course, it did not catch up, and the fire in the clerical warehouse was finally brought under control and did not spread to other places.

But!

An entire cabinet in the clerical storeroom was basically burned out, along with the materials inside.

The account books of the past few years of Frost Creek Tribute Land are all kept there!

How could there be a thief who didn't open his eyes and rushed in here to burn and rob the ledger?

The magistrate is anxious about Qian Yu's robbery, and now he has to gather people to investigate what was lost in the West Chamber.

A quarter of an hour later, Frost Creek went into lockdown.

After another quarter of an hour, He Lingchuan and Dong Rui were already on the hill outside the city, looking down at the closed city gate.

"For the sake of Xue Zongwu's account man, Shuangxi actually closed the city?" Dong Rui sighed twice, "The action is faster than I imagined." ”

He Lingchuan nibbled on the multigrain steamed buns, took out a few documents from the storage ring, and shook them at him:

"The most important reason is probably this—the materials I took from the clerical storeroom."

Dong Rui didn't even have the idea of opening it to take a look: "What's in here?" ”

"The account books of the past few years of Shuangxi Gongdi - the catalog and details are there." He Lingchuan explained, "I asked from Qian Yu about their location, and today I stole them, coughed, and took them out." ”

Fortunately, last night he asked Nightmare to ask a few more questions in his dream, and Qian Yu confessed more than a dozen accounts, all of which were transferred at the request of General Xue, and the amount involved was more than 200,000 taels.

Qian Yu can be reused by Xue Zongwu, of course, he is a master of accounting.

Of course, this is only a small part of the inconspicuous. In the past so many years, Xue Zongwu's harvest in the two tribute lands was far more than 200,000 taels.

Xue Zongwu also had more than just a harvest in these two places.

Dong Rui asked: "There is a problem with these account books that you specially brought out?" ”

"No problem."

...... "Then you came out with a ball from the clerical warehouse!"

"If it was so easy to find out the problem, would Qian Yu still be alive now?" He Lingchuan patted the information, "The account books in the clerical warehouse, the accounts have basically been flattened, and I can't find any problems just by looking at the account books, so I just burned them." ”

"In terms of auditing and doing accounts, Qian Yu is really a master." He sighed, "If Kang Lang's subordinates have such talents, the sharing of accounts under the Qingye Agreement will not be a problem at all." ”

"Then you ......"

"What I took was the catalog and the breakdown." He Lingchuan smiled slightly, "It's useful, you'll know later." ”

When he said this, Dong Rui didn't ask. "The magistrate of Frost Creek is in good health, and he didn't faint after receiving these two bad news."

"These accounts are closely related to Xue Zongwu, and the magistrate will not dare to conceal them, and he will definitely report the theft of the document treasury and the theft of important accounts." He Lingchuan took a bite of the steamed bun and slurred his speech, "I hope this can confuse Xue Zongwu's audio-visual and make him think that Qian Yu was robbed and someone wanted to collect evidence of his corruption." ”

"How likely is it?"

"Not small." He Lingchuan said with a smile, "Have you forgotten that someone in the Imperial Court has been rectifying the dynasty recently? ”

Dong Rui's reaction was also very fast: "Qingyang? ”

"In the past half a year, Qingyang has borrowed various names to wrestle with the king, and there are several ministers who have been killed by her 'impartiality'." What is impartiality? That is, there is a sin.

In He Lingchuan's original world, there is a well-known saying: Some things are not on the scale, and once they are on the scale, they can't be pressed by a thousand catties.

Only by attacking with "righteousness" can the opponent be angry and hateful, and there is nothing to be done.

This trick was used by He Lingchuan in Lingxu City, and it was very effective. And Qingyang has been in the officialdom for more than 150 years, and it is even more perfect to use.

"Xue Zongwu is a staunch royalist, and he has also had conflicts with Qingyang. If Qingyang wants to find a good reason to clean him up, so as to hit the power and prestige of the King of Yao, if you think about it from Xue Zongwu's point of view, this is not impossible. ”

"It's another disaster!" Dong Rui couldn't help laughing, feeling that Qingyang was really unlucky to be remembered by He Lingchuan, "But since you can pinch and calculate, why don't you calculate what those people in black are going to do?" ”

"Qian Yu is not their real target, if they are sent by Qingyang, they will not do things so roughly." He Lingchuan didn't need to think about it, "The way they act is not like what an organization does. Then, it's still a personal vendetta. ”

"Didn't you mean ......?"

"I mean, they may have a personal grudge with the Xue family, so they kidnapped Qian Yu to ask for information, but the means are to cover up and not think deeply." He Lingchuan sighed, "These people are prone to bad things, I hope their target is not Xue Zongwu." ”

The next day, Qian Yu's body floated on the river outside Frost Creek City and was found by the shepherd boy.

As He Lingchuan expected, the man in black did not leave him alive.

The cause of death was a knife to the throat, crisp and neat.

After learning of Qian Yu's death, He Lingchuan specially called someone to inquire about the news.

Soon, the intelligence came back:

Qian Yu's belongings were gone, even the ring on his hand and the jade pendant on his waist were taken away.

He Lingchuan frowned when he heard this: "Sure enough, it wasn't the organization's doing." ”

Qian Yu had a lot of money on him, and he only received pearls and jade and two hundred taels of silver tickets the night before he was killed, and finally cheapened the few people in black.

Killing people has to be over-the-top, tsk.

Dong Rui smiled: "Maybe it's an organization that is short of money." ”

Qian Yu's death and the disappearance of the ledger are like pebbles thrown into a pond. The stones sank and disappeared, but the ripples on the water surface widened and widened.

He Lingchuan also wanted to know what the origin of the man in black was, but they left too few clues to trace.

The hidden heads and tails on the Shining Gold Plain are not only their gangs.

"Is there any information that Qian Yu gave that can be used?"

"Not a few." He Lingchuan casually gave an example, "For example, Xue Zongwu has a close relationship with his mentor Qi Yunsheng, and whenever he encounters a major event or is undecided, he has to go to Mangzhou to discuss with Qi Yunsheng. Oh, Qi Yunsheng is also his father-in-law, and Xue Zongwu married the daughter of his mentor. ”

"For another example, Xue Zongwu is brutal and domineering, and he is often sued by other powerful people, and he has to be settled by the king's arbitration."

Dong Ruiqi said: "Didn't you say before that the general of the army has a bad relationship with other high-ranking officials, but the higher-ups are happy to see it?" ”

Otherwise, if you have soldiers, power, and connections, it won't be ......

He Lingchuan said this when he was in Lingxu City, and he never forgot it.

"A few years ago, he even killed all the Lang officials sent by the capital to the border pass, and was heavily reprimanded by the king." He Lingchuan smiled, "King Ya is raising tigers, tigers are not as obedient as dogs by nature, this scale is not easy to grasp." Qian Yu confided in his dream that the royal court had audited the accounts of the tribute land in charge of Xue Zongwu several times, until Qingyang came to the state of Yao to serve as the chief eunuch. ”

"Xue Zongwu was a Lang official of the king when he was a teenager, and all the way was proposed by the king of Yao. I think he is also loyal to this master, and King Yao has the backing of a general like him, and he has more confidence to confront Qingyang. ”
