Chapter 192: Proof
When the brocade guards heard this, they hurriedly went to compile the account book.
And Hu Changan was also looking at the accounts while waiting for them to finish compiling them.
After a while, Mao Xiang handed over ten account books with a mixture of truth and falsehood to Hu Changan.
Hu Changan took the account book and looked at it patiently.
Two hours later, Hu Changan came to his own conclusion: "Everyone, there are four fake accounts and six real accounts in this, and I have picked out all the fake accounts in them." ”
However, when Mao Xiang heard this, he smiled: "Hu Shilang, I think you are afraid that you are going to lose this time." ”
"Of these ten ledgers, only three are fake accounts that have just been compiled, and the remaining seven are real accounts drawn from the account books of these ministers."
As he spoke, Mao Xiao lightly took out the three account books that Jinyiwei had made special marks.
Looking at the last real account that Hu Changan identified as a fake account, Mao Xiang smiled and said: "Hu Shilang, I know that your Arabic numerals and four arithmetic are very good, but don't be too confident." ”
"As the saying goes, there are people outside of people, and not all new methods are effective."
"I think Hu Shilang is still honestly checking fake accounts according to the old way."
When the brocade guards heard this, they also breathed a sigh of relief.
Now they finally have some balance in their hearts.
If Hu Changan is really decathlon, then do ordinary people like them still want to live?
However, Hu Changan was unimpressed, and the old god was still there and replied: "Lord Mao, this is just an account selected from the account books handed in by the ministers. ”
"Who said that this account must be the real account?"
"I look at this account, he just made it up!"
When Mao Xiang heard this, he was happy: "Hu Shilang, do you really think that the remaining seven accounts were selected by us?" ”
"The ministers we have selected are all ministers who have always enjoyed a clean reputation."
"Among the ministers of the Manchu court, these ministers were the least likely to be corrupt."
"So the account books they handed in, nine times out of ten, they are real accounts."
Hearing Mao Xiang's words, Hu Changan laughed: "Why, doesn't Lord Mao allow some people to be sanctimonious?" ”
"Maybe those ministers are innocent on the surface, but they are actually huge greed."
"I think Master Mao, don't make conclusions so arbitrarily."
Seeing that Hu Changan bit to death and refused to admit defeat for various reasons, Mao Xiang was also a little helpless.
In Mao Xiang's view, Hu Changan was used to smooth sailing before, so he couldn't accept the current defeat even more.
Looking at Hu Changan's determined eyes, Mao Xiang had to take a step back and say, "Then in that case, why don't Hu Shilang take some people to this minister's house to search?" ”
"Anyway, sooner or later, it's better to search sooner or later, so let's just take this opportunity to test Hu Shilang's method."
When Hu Changan heard this, he also nodded.
So early the next morning, Hu Changan led ten brocade guards and set off in a mighty manner.
Of course, everyone didn't believe that Hu Changan could find out anything.
After all, this minister is a respected minister.
Even Jin Yiwei has no negative rumors about him.
Everyone didn't believe that the old minister's family accounts could be fake.
Soon, Hu Changan and Zhongjin Yiwei began the inventory process.
But after checking and checking, these brocade guards found that something was wrong.
"Hu Shilang, you said that there were only 5 pieces of cloth in your account, but there were 10 pieces of cloth in the warehouse!"
"Hu Shilang, there are 100 stones of grain in this granary, which is 50 stones more than the account!"
One report after another, it was completely confirmed that this family was fake!
Since this is the case, then the brocade guards followed the inventory process and mercilessly checked this house.
This check took much more time than the previous one.
Until the sunset set in the west, everyone still did not finish the investigation.
Therefore, everyone can only seal the things that have been inspected, and prepare to check them again the next day.
On the way back, everyone seemed silent.
On the one hand, it is hard for them to believe that the old man, who has always been highly respected in the DPRK, has also committed such a thing as corruption!
And according to what has just been found, there are still a lot of things that this courtier has embezzled.
That's definitely enough to cut off the head.
Even, it is not an exaggeration to punish the nine clans.
The thought that everyone they had just seen in the courtyard was about to fall to the ground, and everyone felt a little heavy.
They can't say anything either, though.
When they embezzle the people's money, they have to think about the consequences of doing so!
On the other hand, they also admired Hu Changan's methods.
I didn't expect Hu Changan's so-called method to really work!
It's simply incredible!
In this way, they can quickly pick out the fake accounts from the real ones and conduct a focused inventory.
In this way, the inspection time can be greatly reduced!
After everyone went back, Mao Xiang also knew the cause and effect of this incident.
At this time, Mao Xiang really had nothing to say to Hu Changan.
This is definitely a proper arithmetic genius!
Such an ingenious idea, Hu Changan can still come up with it, this is simply magical.
It seems that Hu Changan was wrongly blamed before!
Mao Xiang walked up to Hu Changan and was very sincere: "Hu Shilang, then you will lead them to check the accounts." ”
"I'm convinced!"
When the brocade guards heard this, they also nodded in agreement.
Now in their eyes, Hu Changan is no longer the mediocre waiter of the Ministry of Works.
Hu Changan's status in their eyes instantly became tall.
Let them listen to Hu Changan's dispatch, they are convinced!
When Hu Changan heard this, he also smiled slightly, and hurriedly began to deploy his work.
Two months went by in a flash.
As soon as he went to court that day, Zhu Yuanzhang saw two people who should not be here.
I saw that Hu Changan and Mao Xiang appeared in this court at the same time.
Seeing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was also quite puzzled.
How could the two of them suddenly appear above the court?
Could it be that the business they have already done has already been done?
It's too fast!
At this moment, Mao Xiang took the lead and gave Zhu Yuanzhang's affirmative answer: "Your Majesty, what you asked the minister to do, the minister has already done." All the ministers' accounts have been thoroughly investigated! ”
However, Zhu Yuanzhang was not happy when he heard this, but said to Mao Xiang seriously: "Mao Xiang, I asked each of you to check carefully." ”
"How come it has only been two months and the investigation has been completed?"
"You can't spare any of the ministers!"
Zhu Yuanzhang said, his eyes narrowed dangerously.
He didn't believe that in such a short period of time, Mao Xiang would be able to check all the ministers.
