At night, Su Ruzhai carried two money bags to pay homage to Zhong's family. Xiang Zhong only smoked a hookah, glanced at the money bags on several cases, and there was no smile on his face, he only said: "Work hard, everyone will get rich!" ”
Su Ruzhai said: "The little ones all listen to you." ”
Xiang Zhong said: "Your mouth must be tight, take care of the guys below." ”
Su Ruzhai said: "The little one knows. I heard that Lord Chen is not easy to deal with? ”
Xiang Zhong darkened his face and said: "I can't count how many legal officials Lao Tzu has served in the Baoquan Bureau!" There's not a single one that I don't play with! What happened to him Chen Tingjing? Lao Tzu doesn't believe that he can't play him! ”
At this time, the family came in and whispered a few words, and Xiang Zhong hurriedly stood up and sent Su Ruzhai away. The family led Su Ruzhai out of the living room and said, "Boss Su, the door is inconvenient, you can go to the back door." Su Ruzhai dared to say more, and followed his family to the back door.
Xiang Zhong hurriedly ran to the gate, and it was Colquin who greeted him. Xiang Zhong hurriedly said goodbye and said, "The University of Science and Technology came to visit late at night, where can the small ones afford it!" ”
Colcoin whispered, "Go in and talk." ”
Entering the guest hall, Colcoin sat down and stood with his hands down to Chung. Colquin said, "Sit down." ”
Xiang Zhong bowed his head and said, "The little one doesn't dare!" ”
Colcoin laughed and said, "Why don't you dare to Xiang Ye?" ”
Xiang Zhong hurriedly said: "The University of Science and Technology is a small one! ”
Colkun said: "Xiang Zhong, this is not in the Yamen of the Baoquan Bureau, so there is no need to be formal. Sit down. ”
Xiang Zhong thanked Colquin and sat down sideways. Colquin laughed and said, "Xiang Zhong, you don't have to pretend to be a grandson in front of me. You earn more money than I do, and your family business is bigger than mine. ”
Xiang Zhong stood up, bowed his head and arched his hand: "Don't scare the little ones. What do the people of Science and Technology command, just say it. ”
Colcoin said, "Okay, happy! Chen Tingjing not only wants to rectify me, but also you! ”
Xiang Zhong said: "I don't get involved in your officialdom. The little one is just a craftsman, what is he doing with me? ”
Colcoin laughed, "Don't pretend to be confused! You are the boss of the Baoquan Bureau to mint money, and what you do cannot stand up to scrutiny. ”
Xiang Zhong asked cautiously: "What do you mean, do you want me to make up your mind about Chen Tingjing?" ”
Colcoin said: "Chen Tingjing, you can't make up your mind." ”
Xiang Zhong snorted and said, "Officials don't want money, dogs don't eat!" ”
Colkun immediately turned his face and glared at Xiang Zhong. Xiang Zhong knew that he was speechless, and hurriedly made amends, and said: "Of course, of course, there are few good officials like the University of Science and Technology in the world!" ”
Colcoin sneered, "I don't need you to wear a high hat. Let me tell you, Chen Tingjing's family is very rich. ”
Xiang Zhong said: "You mean, he really doesn't love money?" If you don't love money as an official, I'm out of line. ”
Colcoin said: "Don't keep thinking about the idea of beating Chen Tingjing, he won't even look at you!" ”
Xiang Zhong hated in his heart, scolded Chen Tingjing a few words, and asked: "What is the trick of the University of Science and Technology, please command!" ”
Colcoin said, "I have another book of accounts that has been counted in the warehouse, and it is the same as the book. ”
Xiang Zhong was puzzled and asked, "When did the University of Science and Technology take inventory of the warehouse?" ”
Colcoin smiled: "When I handed over to Lord Xu, you brought people to participate in the inventory. ”
Xiang Zhong listened to the clouds, and it took him a long time to understand, and said, "What do you mean, let me be a witness?" But it's fake! ”
Colcoin said: "Master Xu Da himself has signed, what are you afraid of?" ”
It turned out that Colquin expected that Xu Da would not be willing to carry the black pot, and that night he suddenly remembered that there were two signatures on the handover account book at Xu Da's house, and went back to make a fake account book for warehouse inventory. Xiang Zhong couldn't think of whether Xu Da's signature was true or false, so he only said: "Master Keda, if the small one has no conscience, whether the warehouse is empty or not, it has nothing to do with the small one!" ”
Colcoin sneered, "Don't say it so lightly! I've heard of what you've done! You have to remember, I'm fine, you're okay. I'm unlucky, and no one will save you! ”
Xiang Zhong lowered his head and thought for a long time, and sighed: "The little one listens to the orders of the University of Science!" ”
Colcoin said: "I will only leave this matter to you to take care of, and I don't care about anything else." ”
Xiang Zhong said: "Don't worry, the small ones have their own ways." ”
On the second day, Xiang Zhong asked the treasurer Zhang Guang to drink. After drinking half of the wine, Xiang Zhong took out a money bag and said, "Master Zhang, this silver is to honor you." ”
Zhang Guang smiled: "Xiang Ye is always so polite. Okay, I'll take it. ”
Xiang Zhong raised his glass and said, "Brother, if there is mine, there is yours!" Master Zhang, just relying on your little silver, you can't support your family! ”
Zhang Guang sighed: "Yes, the silver given in the yamen is too little. All these years have relied on Xiang Ye to fulfill, otherwise this day is really impossible! ”
Xiang Zhong hurriedly said: "Where is Zhang Ye, I will help you cover it!" ”
Zhang Guangdao: "Lord Xu Da, who came back this time, is a nerd and easy to deal with." In the future, we will make more money. ”
Xiang Zhong raised his glass to Zhang Guang and said, "But Chen Tingjing is not easy to deal with." ”
Zhang Guang shook his head and said, "Chen Tingjing is a big official, so he can't be so fine." I've seen a lot of big officials, they are high, and they can only hum and play a few official words. ”
Xiang Zhong said: "I think Chen Tingjing is very powerful! ”
Zhang Guang said with a smile: "No matter how powerful the official is, we don't have to be afraid." They fought back and forth, and it was all a matter between the big officials. ”
Xiang Zhong raised his glass again and said, "Master Zhang, if something happens, are you willing to help like a brother?" ”
Zhang Guangjiu was almost drunk, and he was arrogant, and said: "Our brothers don't talk to each other!" ”
Xiang Zhong told the warehouse about the false accounts. Zhang Guang was so frightened that the wine glass fell to the ground, and the wine also woke up for the most part, and said: "Master Xiang, you go to the warehouse to import and export copper materials, I can take care of everything I can, but this is a fake account, I don't dare to die." ”
Xiang Zhong smiled: "Master Zhang, are you confused?" Chen Tingjing has already taken inventory of the warehouse, and the accounts must not match, can you escape the responsibility? ”
Zhang Guangdao: "Master Xiang, don't try to scare me, since I took over, there are accounts in and out of the warehouse, and I will do it all!" ”
Xiang Zhong smiled: "You still don't recognize that you are confused!" Do you know how much copper is in the warehouse? Zhang Guangdao: "The previous treasurers have not taken inventory, it is a precedent, even if they lose, they will not do my business, I will only recognize the account book!" Besides, I testify now that the handover between the University of Science and Technology and Master Xu was counted, and the accounts are in line with the facts, so Lord Chen lost money when he took inventory, and the copper material that was lost is not clear in my hand? Am I going to kill myself? ”
Xiang Zhong listened to Zhang Guang's words, and asked softly: "Master Zhang, how much silver I have honored you, you probably don't remember, right?" ”
Zhang Guang's face turned blue and said, "Master Xiang, what you said is not like what brothers said!" ”
Xiang Zhong said with a dark face: "Brother? Brothers have to live and die together! You don't remember, but I keep the accounts. For so many years, I have honored you with more than nine thousand taels of silver. More than 9,000 taels of silver is not a number in those princes and ministers, wealthy businessmen, and tycoons, but it is a big number in you. It's not that I scold you, you are a nine-grade official, and your annual salary is only thirty taels of silver. Nine thousand taels of silver is equal to your three hundred years! ”
Zhang Guang took the case and said, "Xiang Zhong, you are harming me!" ”
Xiang Zhong was calm and beckoned Zhang Guang to sit down. Zhang Guang sat down angrily and cursed. Xiang Zhong ignored him and drank alone. Zhang Guang scolded boringly, Xiang Zhongcai put down his chopsticks and said: "To put it bluntly, everyone is so unlucky because of Chen Tingjing." The successive Baoquan Bureau Langzhong supervised the handover, and they were not interested in taking stock of the real thing, but this time there was a Chen Tingjing, and the University of Science and Technology would be back, and you would be convicted. You have to think about it, whether you have anything to do with the University of Science and Technology, you can't get rid of it. If you recognize it, the University of Science and Technology will take it all in. Besides, Lord Xu has admitted it, why don't you admit it? Chase down, do you believe in Lord Xu, a five-grade master, or do you believe in you, a nine-grade official? ”
Zhang Guang poured himself a full glass of wine, drank it with a grunt, lowered his head and thought about it for a long time, and said with tears in his eyes: "Damn, I promise you." ”
Xiang Zhong laughed and said, "This is a good brother!" Come on, come on, drink and drink! ”
