Liu He pretended to say some words of exhortation to Tian Buhe, and then sent this "moth" away.

When only Liu He and Yu Wuwu were left in the Changyi Palace, they sat on the pile of wooden slabs left and right, not knowing what to do.

That's a bit more than they could have imagined.

Liu He picked up a piece of wood and weighed it in his hand, it was not too heavy, but it was full of dense small characters.

"On the tenth day of the second month, I will withdraw ten pieces of millet and five hundred dollars, and send them to the chef Qiongtai."

"On the tenth day of the second month, I took seven pieces of millet and four hundred dollars, and sent them to the gardener Bujing."

"On the tenth day of the second month, I will withdraw six pieces of millet and three hundred dollars, and send them to Qu Gai, a musician."

……

Liu He read seven or eight articles in a row, and the format of the text was almost exactly the same, it seemed that it should be the monthly money and monthly food distributed to the employees of Changyi Palace in February.

The servants of the royal palace were divided into slaves and maidservants and hired servants, the former had no monthly money, but the latter had monthly money and monthly rations.

After Liu He finished reading it, Yu Wuwu didn't seem to see anything wrong.

"Your Highness, the amount of money and grain seems to be compatible."

"When checking the accounts, the word [it seems] is taboo, and the hired workers who withdraw money and grain from the palace every month add up to more than 100 people, and this person reports an extra 10 yuan, and it seems inconspicuous to write ten more money, but it adds up to an astronomical amount."

"What's more, the monthly money and monthly food withdrawn are only one of the items, in addition, there are also food, clothing, food, oil, firewood, lamps and grass every month, this day is greedy for a money in one name, and I don't know how much I have been greedy for decades."

"But this ...... It seems to be all our conjecture. Yu Wuwu has no experience in auditing accounts, and he is already a little panicked when he looks at this mountain of wooden slabs.

"Don't worry, don't get caught up in it, these accounts don't really show any flaws at first glance, but there are some signs that can be seen to be wrong."

Liu He said, picked out a few pieces of wood, and put them together.

"You see, the wooden slabs are all freshly cut and scraped on them; Looking at these wooden slabs again, the names of the people are covered in ink. ”

"These may be traces of this field's unsparing hands."

"Find out all the suspicious things like this, and then find everyone one by one and check them, and then add up all the detailed numbers to see if they match the total."

"All?" Yu Wuwu asked a little dejectedly.

It was the first time Liu He saw the other party show a hint of flinching.

"Of course, remember to be careful and careful in checking the accounts, as long as it is fake, it can't be true, we can always find out the same thing."

"Don't worry, Li Zhang went to help An Le manage the plan, you are the only one in the palace who is proficient in arithmetic, and you have to shoulder this heavy responsibility without shirking!" Liu He stood up and patted Yu Wuwu's shoulder.

"Your Highness, there is another person who is more skilled in arithmetic than his subordinates, and I beg him to be transferred to help."

"Oh? Is there anyone in the palace who is proficient in arithmetic, and quickly tell the widow his name. ”

"That's Your Highness, and the arithmetic of the subordinates is all learned from you."

Only then did Liu He realize the other party's way, and he refused with a dry laugh.

"Hehe, the widow has a lot of opportunities, so it's better to leave such small things to Yu Langzhong to do."

Yu Wuwu couldn't refuse anymore, so he had to reluctantly arch his hand and express his acceptance.

The matter of checking the details has been decided, but there is another thing that has not been settled.

"The subordinate did this, so who will investigate the matter of moving the warehouse?"

Excuse the transfer of positions to make good and replenish the good is a method often used by the husbands and warehouse officials for corruption.

Originally, the purpose of moving the warehouse was to make room for a batch of old millet to be removed from the warehouse and disposed of at a low price when the new millet was about to enter the warehouse.

It is one of the most important jobs of the year for warehouse officials.

But the cheating officials tend to misrepresent prices.

Chen Su, who is priced at 50 yuan per hundred, can be falsely reported as 30 yuan per hundred, and the difference in price has become a sum of interest for corrupt officials and corrupt officials.

What's more, they directly buy and sell the grain from the accounts on the grounds of mold and rot, and then secretly sell the deceived grain at a price.

There are also some corrupt officials who are more daring, who are talking about removing Chen Su on the surface, but in fact they are directly selling the new millet: the official warehouses of the county state range from hundreds to hundreds, and the grain in them corresponds to which warehouse in the accounts, or how many Chen Su and how many new millet there are, all of which only the Sifu and the warehouse officials know, and it is not difficult for them to fool the officials.

This can't be blamed on Shangguan for being confused, because arithmetic is not the focus of Confucian education, and those Confucians who have achieved success in learning have no intention of studying at all, so they naturally can't figure out the bends and turns inside.

Sometimes, even if they happen to meet Shangguan who knows both arithmetic and likes to be more serious, the filthy officials have another way, that is, to set a fire directly.

Whether it is burning the accounts or burning the granary, in short, it is a dead and unmatched proof.

This is also the reason why Liu He is anxious to get the account - whether it is true or not, it is better than nothing.

"As long as we send someone to investigate carefully, we will definitely be able to check some problems, and when the time comes, we will always be able to catch this Tian Bu Zhi's body."

"I'll leave this matter to Dai Zong and them, so you don't have to worry about it."

"No."

When Liu He and Yu Wuwu were discussing how to deal with Tian Buxi, this filthy official had not noticed it at all, and he was completely deceived by Liu He and Yu Wuwu's play.

Because it was almost the beginning of the Youchu when he left Changyi Palace, Tian Buxi did not return to the Xiangfu located in the northeast corner of Changyi City, but drove out of the north gate directly in a carriage.

After making a few successive turns in the street, Tian Buxi's inconspicuous carriage came to a secluded alley, and finally stopped in an inconspicuous courtyard.

The courtyard is not very large, and you can't see any difference from the outside, but there is a hole in the inside.

The slaves and maids who were busy working in the courtyard and under the porch were all good-looking and healthy, and each of them was worth at least 10,000 yuan.

And in this not too big yard, there are nearly ten slaves and maids busy.

When they saw Tian Buxi get out of the carriage, they all stopped what they were doing, bowed respectfully and said, "The slave and maid greet the old man." ”

Tian Buxi no longer had the kind of submissiveness in front of Liu He at this time, his face was full of indifference and arrogance, and after he replied coldly, he walked towards the main hall of the hall.

The furnishings in the main hall are also very exquisite, and the shape of the copper lamp in the corner of the wall alone is very exquisite, even compared with the palace lamp in the palace of Changyi.

As soon as Tian Buxi walked into the main hall, a charming woman came out from the back of the hall and said delicately: "Husband, you haven't been here for three days, but you want to die in the slave family." ”

This voice made Tian's bones crisp, and he immediately hugged the woman and brought her mouth full of yellow teeth to it.
