Chapter 34: Confess and Be Lenient!
"Why didn't you say it?"
Seeing that Steward Luo no longer spoke, Chu Xian's brows furrowed slightly, "Don't say it now, in the future, if you want to say it again, it is estimated that you will not have a chance, are you sure you will not say a few more words?" ”
"And you, don't you talk about it?"
After ridiculing the Luo steward, Chu Xian looked at the other stewards and shopkeepers.
People who can sit in the position of steward and shopkeeper are basically not stupid, and stupid people have long been replaced.
Thump!
Someone fell to his knees.
"Little Miss, the little one is guilty, the little one has been greedy for 12,493 taels of silver over the years, the little one is willing to compensate, ask the little lady for forgiveness!"
As the first person knelt down and confessed, it was like knocking over dominoes, one by one kneeling on the ground, some confessing the exact amount of corruption they had embezzled, and some underreporting.
More tempting to start reporting and exposing.
The scene was noisy again.
"Quiet!"
Chu Xian stood up and spoke softly.
The sound was not loud, but the group of people who were shouting quickly closed their mouths, and those who knelt honestly knelt, those who stood, and some who knelt with them.
But without exception, no one said a word again.
"To welcome the spring, let people prepare pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and let them write down everything they do."
"Yes!"
Yingchun left as soon as possible and asked someone to send pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
Although this temporary Shen Mansion is quite luxurious, after all, it is the residence of the former prefect, but for a while, there are really not so many pens at home.
Yingchun can only let people go to the street to buy.
When the pen, ink, paper and inkstone were delivered, Chu Xian's expression was faint: "Now you can start writing!" ”
"You can choose to hide it, but if the audit later finds out that something is wrong, no wonder I don't give you a chance to mend your ways!"
The geese have left a voice, and the people have left a name.
But whatever has been done, there will always be clues left.
Especially in this kind of accounting, as long as it is a false account for the purpose of corruption, there will always be a horse foot.
Chu Xian had read the account book that people remembered at this time.
It's confusing!
It is the bookkeeping method of the journal.
On a certain day in a certain month, the purchase, the price of the goods, how much it costs, and then, the shipment, how much the income.
The ledger is full of such records, and it is destined to be time-consuming and laborious to summarize and calculate.
Why do these people dare to be so greedy, it is nothing more than relying on the difficulty of accounting in the ledger.
But Chu Xian is a traverser!
Although she didn't learn bookkeeping, she moved the form.
I know more about the Arabic numerals of 12345.
Complicated math calculations will become easy.
Therefore, she is not worried at all that she will not be able to find out the cats in these ledgers.
All the stewards and shopkeepers, where do they dare to play with Chu Xian, except for those who have lives in their hands, they all honestly confess their sins.
Some people even directly explained where the real ledger was.
Chu Xian sat firmly on the Diaoyutai and instructed Shuangxi to arrange for someone to fetch the real account books one by one.
Of course, in this process, Chu Xian found that there were still people playing with her, and the so-called real ledger was actually a fake ledger.
Two fake ledgers, one greedy and one greedy, and less greedy, if you don't know the truth, you will inevitably be fooled!
"I really don't shed tears when I don't see the coffin!"
For this kind of trickery, Chu Xian directly asked Shen Xian to inform him.
Shen Hao is the commander of Jingtian Division, and there are countless capable people under him.
These tricksters never dreamed that Shen Hui, the commander of Jingtian Division, would really send someone to assist in such a small matter.
As for Mama Gao, she is completely stupid.
She really didn't know that she thought she was in control of everything, but she was actually played into a fool by these people.
