Many people, when they see people who are more unfortunate and humble than themselves, are always willing to hide their sarcasm and contempt behind their expressions of pity, after all, pity and sympathy are things that do not cost money, and can still win fame. www.biquge.info It's just that Chu Nan was a little sad when he saw that he was forced by life to bargain with a stranger about his body's innocence, but Chu Nan was not a saint, and the most he could do was not to disdain him or to sprinkle salt on his wounds.

Bidding farewell to Qin Feng, who was a little disappointed, Chu Nan took Wang Buregret and Tang Shu back to his residence, and was just about to say goodbye to Wang Buregret, Wang Buregret hesitated and said: "My lord, according to the rules, these evidences should be brought back by me and handed over to the special person of the Metropolitan Procuratorate to take care of." ”

Chu Nan stretched out his hand to ask for those evidences, but he had no intention of handing them over to Wang Buregret, and said with a smile: "Lord Wang, can't you trust me? Don't think too much, don't you forget, I am in charge of security matters in the name of the saint, and of course I also keep these physical evidence." ”

Wang Buregret said anything, but Chu Nan didn't give him a chance, turned around and walked towards his room, and didn't forget to explain a few words, "Anyway, I won't lose it here, if you want to use it, just go to me." ”

Chu Nan sat in the room, watched Wang leave with a sigh, slowly took out the account book that Qin Feng thought was useless, and slowly frowned. The first half of the ledger is all trivial small accounts, and the maximum number involved is only a few thousand taels, but there are some inexplicable numbers in the next few pages, which seem to be only used as a reason, and cannot be used as ironclad evidence for conviction, but Chu Nan looked at these accounts with a faint sense of familiarity, and all of them were forcefully stayed.

Chu An shined in the household department, and the most outstanding achievement was to innovate the outdated and complex bookkeeping methods of the household department. At the beginning, Chu Nan regarded it as a must-learn knowledge, and taught Chu Yue the methods of double-entry bookkeeping in later generations, and now the so-called new bookkeeping method of the household department is just a mutation of Chu An after adding some of his own ideas, but from the account book in his hand, Chu Nan saw the shadow of the new bookkeeping method that should appear in the household department, whether the household department is out of the ghost Chu Nan does not care, Chu Nan is worried about whether this case is mixed with the shadow of Chu An or even the Chu family.

Chu Nan thought about it, and decided to go to Wang Shilang from the household department, after all, there was still a big difference between Wang Defu, who was old and spicy, and he took the initiative to say it.

Wang Defu just flipped through the letters casually, and began to study the account book seriously.

Wang Defu pondered for a moment and asked, "You mean this account is a dark account?"

Chu Nan thought about it, and still said his thoughts euphemistically.

Wang Defu closed the account book, nodded and said: "Chu Sangongzi's method looks very concise and clear, but most of the time the household department still follows the old law, and the new law is too cumbersome to learn, and Chu Sangongzi and some young people will use it in the household department. ”

Chu Nan nodded and said, "I also know the method of the household department, and I just came over to talk about it when I saw it." ”

Wang Defu looked at Chu Nan and asked, "I didn't expect you to understand that method, the people of the Chu family are really amazing." I just don't know who else understands these methods besides the people from the household department and you?"

Chu Nan pursed his lips and said expressionlessly: "Yue'er is also proficient in these methods. And as far as I know, over the years, the old mansion of the Chu family has been holding on to the old mansion of the Chu family, and has been using this method to reconcile accounts, so it is unlikely that outsiders will know much. ”

Wang Defu didn't speak after listening, and lowered his head in contemplation like Chu Nan.

As the stall gradually spread, the investigation of the case slowly came to a standstill. Although the people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate were busy for a few days and did not come back, and the people in the household department, including Wang Defu, were all red-eyed, and they could only figure out some trivial things and remove a few small moths by the way, but the most critical Zhang Mingjing corruption case had almost no progress.

The lack of progress for several days made the group a little anxious, especially the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who were determined to make their dead colleagues blind, and their faces were expressionless like dead people all day long, and they even quarreled with the people of the household department because of the progress of the case, and finally the two groups broke up unhappily.

Chu Nan has not a lot of things, but he is not idle, in addition to silently paying attention to the progress of the case, he is also responsible for keeping a lot of complicated evidence, and from time to time he has to appease the local officials who are annoyed by the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate who are a little angry and come to complain, and most of the rest of the time is talking to Liang Rang and Wang Defu.

Chu Nan sat on the chair, silently listening to Wang Defu and Liang Rang looking at the exchange of light and breezy but hidden edges, and was also thinking about the current situation.

Liang Rang's face was also a little gloomy, now no one can guess Emperor Liang's thoughts, if he can't find something, he will inevitably be punished, but if he really wants to find out something exciting, he may not have good fruits to eat, but he can't make himself a little retreated. What's even more infuriating is that although he is the chief official, the people in the household department have their own department because of the existence of Wang Defu, and most of the officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate are holding their breath to be angry for their colleagues, and it is also a little difficult for them to control, but they seem to be a little insignificant.

Liang Rang looked at Wang Defu, who was a little tired, and then at Chu Nan, who was leisurely drinking tea, and frowned: "Commander Chu, tell me what you think, didn't you see that Lord Wang said that his mouth was dry?"

Chu Nan thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "Xiaguan thinks that Lord Liang's idea is more suitable for the current situation, and if it is too much, whether it is the household department or the people of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, they are too anxious. ”

Wang Defu looked at Chu Nan in some surprise and did not speak.

Liang Rang squeezed out a smile and asked, "Commander Chu will tell me carefully, you are also one of the chief officials appointed by His Majesty, can't all these laborious things be left to me and Lord Wang." ”

Chu Nan said calmly: "I understand the mood of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but they are all too anxious, and the officials below are complaining, today the county magistrate of Qinghe County came to complain again, saying that the Metropolitan Procuratorate has now affected the normal official affairs of Qinghe County, and often disturbs the people, I finally stopped him and persuaded him to go back, otherwise Lord Liang's ears are suffering now." ”

Liang Rang smiled even more, nodded and said: "The county magistrate of Qinghe County seems to be Zhao Shangshu's son, I heard that that mouth is much more broken than Zhao Shangshu, I am most afraid of listening to Zhao Shangshu's verbosity in the court, and I don't want to provoke another one when I come to the south." ”

Chu Nan laughed a few times, and explained his relationship with Zhao Yuan by the way.

Liang Rang was very surprised and said with a smile: "I didn't expect you two to be friends, but this is an unexpected joy." In the future, all official affairs related to Qinghe may as well be taken care of by Commander Chu, and if this relationship is not used, it will be a loss. ”

Chu Nan took Liang Rang's olive branch very calmly, and was not surprised by the power that Liang Rang officially assigned to him.

Liang Rang casually threw out a little sweetness to repay Chu Nan's support, and was quite satisfied with Chu Nan's cooperation, turned his head to Wang Defu and asked, "What does Lord Wang think?" ”

Wang Defu's voice was even more tired, and he sighed: "That's right, but after all, we came on the orders of the emperor, and if we send it back to the capital............

Chu Nan said with a smile: "The emperor's order is true, but don't forget, the two adults, Your Majesty didn't say the date for returning to Beijing, that is, there is no time limit for investigating the case, let's investigate it slowly." ”

Liang Rang was more satisfied with Chu Nan, and he naturally understood this, but he couldn't say it in front of Wang Defu anyway.

Wang Defu moved his muscles and said with a smile: "This is the best, the old man can also have a good rest, these words are really tired." ”

Liang Rang joked with a smile and asked him to pay attention to his body, otherwise he would not be able to explain to Wang Defu's wife after returning to Beijing.

Chu Nan also smiled: "It's not just Lord Wang, I think I'll call everyone back and let them have a good rest, this morning I watched Lord Wang of the Metropolitan Procuratorate almost hit a tree when he walked, it can be seen that he is very tired." ”

Liang Rang pondered: "This is not appropriate, it will hurt the hearts of the people below." ”

Chu Nan smiled confidently and said, "Lord Liang is too worried, do you have to run outside all day long to investigate the case?"

Liang Rang sighed in his heart, new ideas, fart, it's just a procrastination trick in officialdom, this kid's ability to put gold on his face is no worse than the old fritters in officialdom.

Wang Defu asked with a smile: "Now that the people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate are all holding back the fire, if you really want to trap them at home, you are not afraid that they will make trouble?"

Chu Nan arched his hand and said: "With two highly respected adults in charge, you will definitely be able to suppress the impetuousness of the people below." ”

Liang Rang looked Chu Nan up and down, as if he wanted to get to know him again, a good sycophant, a good impetuous, not only gave two high hats, but also gave a surname to the person who wanted to make trouble, if someone really made trouble, it was not for the public, it was impetuous and shallow, as long as the three people in the room unified the caliber, it was not too difficult to suppress it.

Wang Defu's face was a little unsightly, and he said: "It's still not appropriate, what if you can be suppressed for a while, it's not a long-term way after all." ”

Chu Nan said mysteriously: "The lower official said just now, we have to use new ideas, and I will naturally convince them." ”

Wang Defu narrowed his eyes, and Liang Rang was also full of curiosity, and he really couldn't think of what Chu Nan's so-called new ideas were.

Chu Nan sighed and said: "Actually, we took a fork in the road at the beginning, don't forget, the two adults, we are the emperor, why are we tired and tired to go outside to investigate? At present, there are still some clues in the hand, who needs to go to the Jiang Governor's Mansion to ask for it, he has to cooperate with this, right? If you need a witness, you will order someone to call here, and if you don't come, it will be regarded as a great disrespect to Your Majesty, and the lower official will directly bring someone to arrest him." ”

Although Liang Rang felt that this method was a bit unreasonable, but after thinking about it carefully, others couldn't find anything wrong, so he nodded and said, "Then according to the opinion of Commander Chu, who kind of witnesses are needed at the moment?"

Chu Nan said without thinking: "The master of Qinghe County and the bookkeeper of the Hangzhou Mansion, of course, these have been contacted before, and they are not the point. ”

Wang Defu seemed to smile and asked, "Who is the point?"

Chu Nan said calmly: "Order someone to invite the head of the Zhang family, of course, it would be best to invite the head of the Zhang family." ”
