Prefectural Ya Nei Hall.

"My lord, do you really want to do this?"

The main bookkeeper Zhou Ze looked reluctant, and there was a little pain in his face, "Xu Youan has a fart political achievement, how much money does it cost him to show his merits......"

"Fool, when are you going to be able to take a longer view?"

Wu Wenjing scolded disdainfully, "How much can it cost to dot up and down?" Xu Youan has helped you and me collect money over the years, but how much is he greedy for ink in the middle? Can the two be compared? ”

“…… What do you mean? ”

Zhou Ze reacted quickly, and his heart suddenly jumped.

"Heh, Xu Chong is quite prestigious among those Diao people, and he is studying in the official school, under normal circumstances, you and I really can't do anything about him."

Wu Wenjing stroked his long beard, and the corners of his mouth hooked up: "But it's different when you enter the yamen." ”

"Aren't you curious, how much Xu Youan is greedy?"

"This official promises, this time you and I will each get half of ......"

………

Daqing's household registration system is extremely strict, and the lowest artisan registration not only cannot be left by future generations, but even the property owned by individuals has a clear upper limit.

And a citizen like Xu Chong is much better, it does not affect personal life and development, and there are restrictions on the specifications of travel, residence, weddings and funerals.

The period of filial piety shall not exceed one month, which is one of them.

When the appointment documents are handed down and the civil status is promoted to the official status, the restrictions will be greatly reduced, and all kinds of pomp and circumstance can be emphasized.

But Xu Chong doesn't care about this.

With the help of the villagers and Liu Er and Zhao Liu, the four charred corpses were buried.

Even the coffins and steles were made up by one family.

By the time all this is done, it will be three poles in the day.

"Today's events, Xu has no good reward, those silver coins ......"

Xu Chong saluted solemnly.

"Hey, don't say such a raw thing."

"Xu Xianggong don't take it to heart, let's go."

"Hurry back to cook for the doll, Xu Xianggong will see you back."

“……”

Dozens of people scattered in an instant.

Xu Chong's face was helpless.

He is now the sole heir of the third master's property, and he has a lot of family funds to spend, so he really doesn't want to owe favors on this little thing.

But I didn't expect that before I finished speaking, the people ran out.

"Brother Xu doesn't need to mind."

Zhang Shunyi patted Xu Chong's shoulder and said meaningfully: "All of us believe that you will definitely be a good official." ”

"What? Good officer?! ”

Xu Chong's jaw almost fell to the ground.

It's good to listen to that kind of officialdom, will anyone believe it?

Well, it seems that there is a ......

Xu Chong reacted that he was a living bodhisattva who stepped on a horse.

For the people, since they say that they want to be a good official, they will definitely be a good official......

"Also, Brother Xu's acting is too similar, even I didn't react, thinking that you were really crazy."

Zhang Shunyi continued to speak, with a look of shame: "If I ruin your plan because of me, what will I ......have in the future?"

"Alright, okay, don't talk about that."

Xu Chong's heart twitched when he heard this, and he couldn't help but interrupt Zhang Shunyi.

"Uh...... I understand that the appointment documents have not yet come down, so it is not appropriate to be too public. ”

Zhang Shunyi gave Xu Chong a look I understand you, "Brother Xu must have a lot to say to Ling Zun, so the foolish brother will leave first." ”

Have something to say to the third master?

It's all buried in the ground, what else is there to say......

Xu Chong looked at Zhang Shunyi's departing back and pulled the corners of his mouth, and began to collect his mind and check the panel.

That reminder had changed as early as when he left the county office, and it had returned to 'the aura concentration did not meet the standard', and it has been until now.

From this, it can be seen that there is nothing special about the four corpses.

According to the method of elimination, only the county government itself is left with problems.

"It seems that this official must be ......"

Xu Chong muttered to himself.

If you calculate it this way, there are gains and losses.

praised Haikou to be a good official, but he was able to enter the county government to find aura.

Overall, it's still a small profit.

Thinking like this, Xu Chong felt a lot more comfortable, turned his head and followed the route in his memory.

Xufu in the east of the city.

The area of the five entrances was built into a three-entry house.

"This sin...... According to the meager income of the original body, I'm afraid it won't be over in a lifetime, right? ”

Xu Chong was amazed.

The housekeeper Lao Li waited early in the morning, and when he saw Xu Chong at this time, he hurriedly nodded and greeted him.

As a servant, even when the father and son of the Xu family were in the most violent trouble, he didn't dare to have any disrespect for Xu Chong, let alone now.

The news that Xu Chong is about to take over the history of the canon, but it has already spread all over the country.

"Young Master, please."

Lao Li bowed his body and said a lie while bringing Xu Chong in: "The master has suddenly suffered a big disaster, the young master must cheer up, all the personnel in the house are waiting for the young master to preside." ”

"Presiding over what? Let them do what they should do. ”

Xu Chong's face did not change.

The original body has lived in Xufu for a long time, and he is very clear about the business situation of Xufu.

To put it simply, these subordinates have an ordinary employment relationship with the Xu Mansion.

Xu Sanye is very cautious, if there are any bad things, it is not the turn of these people to do them, and these people are all honest and honest, and they don't dare to do anything bad at all.

"Uh...... Young master, everyone else is okay to say, the two maids of the master, you see? ”

Lao Li asked a little embarrassed.

"That's a problem."

Xu Chong frowned.

He is at the age of strong blood and strength, and he also has physical needs, but he is not hungry enough to get involved with the third master's woman.

"So be it."

After thinking about it, Xu Chong said: "Ask them if they are willing to stay and do chores, and if they are unwilling, they will be dismissed with pen and silver, hmm...... How much money is left in the account? ”

"Three hundred and twenty-two taels of silver."

"Huh?"

Xu Chong suddenly paused and glanced at Lao Li deeply: "It's only three hundred and twenty-two taels?" Lao Li, you're a little too much. ”

"Wronged, young master!"

Lao Li bowed down with a puff, and howled at the top of his throat: "Conscience of heaven and earth, the old servant has worked in the house for sixteen years, and the silver in the account has never exceeded five hundred taels!" ”

Never more than five hundred taels?

Xu Chong frowned, instinctively feeling that something was wrong.

Just now, he just deceived this Lao Li, and he didn't really suspect it.

But according to his analysis of the third master, there are tens of thousands of taels in the account, how can it be so little.

The rent collected by those shops alone is nearly three hundred taels a month, not to mention that there are many business members who share the profits.

Where did all that money go?

"Get up, as long as you haven't done it, I won't wronged you."

Xu Chong waved his hand, "Go and sort out the account books of these years and send them to the study." ”

"Yes, yes, the old servant will go."

Lao Li hurriedly got up, hunched and retreated.

Xu Chong went straight through the hall and came to the door of Xu Youan's study.

This study room can be said to be the most mysterious place in the entire Xu Mansion in the memory of the original body.

Because no one is allowed to enter except Xu Youan himself.

When the original body was still young, he once stole the key and tried to sneak in, but was hung up and beaten.

What can make Xu Youan so nervous is that there is either a lot of money hidden in it, or evidence of wealth accumulation.

Either way, it will be of considerable help to your future career.

"Just let me see what's in there."

Xu Chong spread out his right hand, and a key appeared in the palm of his hand.

It was from the body of the third master.

Squeak –

The door opened.
