Haixi Cliff and Xie Wenzai were stunned again.

They have indeed completed the audit. Sun Yonglu and his minions did not change their stubbornness in Suzhou Wei, and they were greedy for a lot of silver, and even because they were overconfident and hard enough to cover up the accounts, they only made a simple and rough cover up of the accounts, and did not spend a lot of effort to create fake accounts, and they could find out the problem with a little dim sum.

Sun Yonglu's men must be guilty, but everyone knows that they are just acting at Sun Yonglu's orders. If this is all evidence of their crimes......

Hai Xiya and Xie Wenzai thought that these minions were not the main culprits, but Haitang put on a posture that children don't know so many twists and turns: "Anyway, they are officials, and Sun Yonglu's greed for money is also colluding with them, and the money is not in their hands." As long as the generals go to investigate, they will definitely check it accurately, unless they confess themselves, saying that it is not their fault that Sun Yonglu instructed them to do it! ”

The minions of the Sun family who were summoned to be Sun Yonglu's staff, how could they say such things openly? If they really said it, they would definitely be regarded as traitors by the Sun family, and they would never think about hugging Sun Ge's thighs in the future.

But if they don't put the blame on Sun Yonglu, they will not be able to escape the responsibility for dereliction of duty. This kind of crime, a crime committed by a military attache of this level, does not even need to be reported to the imperial court, and can be sentenced directly in the Shaanxi Xingdu command embassy. If Du Si is too busy, he can also instruct Suzhou Wei to solve it by himself. In this way, these subordinates of Sun Yonglu, who knew the existence of Xie Wenzai and others, would directly become prisoners, and they would not be able to leave Suzhou at all, and it would be impossible for them to send letters outside.

Anyway, they have followed Sun Yonglu to do bad things in the past, and doing so is not considered to have wronged them.

Haixi Cliff and Xie Wenzai glanced at each other, and their faces showed surprise. How could they not have thought of such a simple way? I was worried and depressed!

Haitang glanced at the two elders and shook his head helplessly. They are used to dodging and retreating when they encounter the Sun family, when have they fought back? I'm afraid that habitual thinking has already been formed. If they don't change this kind of thinking inertia, I'm afraid that they will return to their hometown in Yongping Mansion in the future, and they won't have a good life.

After Xie Wenzai figured it out, he whispered to Hai Xiya: "Cousin, let's hurry up and send a letter to General Gu." Let him send someone to bring the account book back, and tell him by the way that he can arrest Sun Yonglu's remaining minions. Although these people have the merit of defending the city, they have followed Sun Yonglu to plague the border army over the years. Let them suffer for a few years, and it will be considered atonement. When we leave here, it doesn't matter what kind of letter they send to the capital. ”

Hai Xiya nodded, then turned to Haitang again, trying to squeeze out a smile: "Tang Tang, why are you in the house?" ”

"Grandma told me to paint flowers in the house. She forbade me to run around outside, saying she was afraid that I would catch a cold from the wind. Haitang went back to the room and brought two freshly drawn patterns to the two elders to show them, proving that he had a legitimate reason to stay in the house, "I didn't eavesdrop, and grandpa didn't say that I couldn't listen to you." ”

Hai Xiya was dumbfounded, and said with a smile: "Okay, if you feel bored, it doesn't hurt to go outside and play for a while." Just now you heard what your grandfather and cousin said, don't tell anyone else, not even your grandma and brother. ”

Begonia obediently responded, put the trick back into the room, and then jumped out of the yard to play.

Hai Xiya and Xie Wenzai glanced at each other, and they both showed wry smiles.

The former whispered, "I was negligent, and I didn't even check if there was anyone in the room when I entered the door." ”

The latter comforted him: "It's okay, Tang Tang has always been sensible." When Lao Cao and Lao Lu taught Bao Shun, we held meetings from time to time to discuss political affairs between the DPRK and China, and Tang Tang has been observing, but he has never revealed half a sentence to others, and he is a tight-mouthed child. ”

"Even if children are sensible, those of us who are adults can't be too careless." Hai Xiya looked at the room and began to worry, when he and his wife talked privately on weekdays, did his granddaughter hear a word? The children are also older, is it not appropriate to continue to live in the same room with their husband and wife?

Haixiya quickly sent someone to deliver the letter. In the evening, General Gu came to the door in person.

Hearing the news, Haixi Cliff hurriedly rushed to the front yard to greet him, and General Gu Qinghong held his hand tightly and said, "Brother Hai, I'm here to ask for help today!" If you won't help me, I really don't know what to do! ”

Hai Xiya only felt confused, but still warmly welcomed people into the living room: "Don't worry, let's sit down and talk first." ”

Hai Xiya and General Gu talked for a long time in the living room, and after a while, even Xie Wenzai, Lao Cao and Lao Lu also participated. This time, it was Hai Chang'an who was in charge of guarding the door, and Cui Bo served tea and poured water full-time.

Haitang stood on tiptoe and looked at the front yard a few times, but saw nothing, so she had to enter the main house. Haijiao was sitting by the kang, talking to Ma, and asked Haitang curiously: "What is General Gu doing when he comes to find grandpa?" ”

"I don't know." Begonia pretended to be at a loss, keeping her mouth shut about what she had heard. Ma Shi was much calmer: "Your grandfather was also a member of the army in the past, and General Gu came to ask your grandfather for help when he encountered any difficulties." It's not a boast, let alone the past, but now, no one in Suzhou can compare to your grandfather when it comes to his ability! ”

Begonia blinked. What kind of ability is grandpa so powerful? Accounting?

While talking, the second uncle Hai Changan lifted the curtain and came into the house: "Mother, my father asked you to help find his ebony bookcase, saying that it will be used." ”

Ma didn't ask much, he went directly down to the kang to open the lid of the corner coat box, and took out a rectangular ebony box more than a foot long from it. The handle attached to the carrying case is foldable and hidden, and the top is finely wrapped with crimson coarse cotton thread, so that people do not feel awkward when carrying the case.

Ma Shi handed the box to Hai Chang'an: "Everything is complete, give it to your father, ask him if he can come back for dinner?" ”

Hai Changan said with a smile: "Dad has already instructed that he will not come back until at least the evening, so that you can leave him food, so you don't have to wait for him." ”

Ma Shi sighed: "I knew it would be like this." With a wave of his hand, he sent his son away.

Haitang hurriedly came to Ma's side: "Grandma, what's in that box?" Where is Grandpa going? Why can't you even go home for dinner? ”

The reef was thoughtful. The crateg, he remembered seeing it countless times as a child......

He quickly recalled his childhood memories: "Yes...... Do you settle accounts? I remember that the ebony case contained a brass abacus that my grandfather used to hold in his hand. "When he was a child, he was greedy for fun, and he secretly took the abacus out to play with it, and it didn't break when he fell to the ground, and it was very strong.

Haitang looked at her brother with wide eyes: "Settle accounts? It turns out that grandpa is a master of accounting! She guessed right.

Grandmother Ma said proudly: "Your grandfather is the best at calculating accounts!" He's quick and accurate, and he's very good at business. In the past, when he was still in the army, he never made a mistake in the accounts of any guard station, and he never lacked food or drink. When he was about to leave Chang'an Mansion and go to Ganzhou, his colleagues almost cried and shouted begging him not to go. It was the same when he left Ganzhou and came to Suzhou. Only when he left Suzhou to go to Guazhou, General Gu was the top boss, and he was ashamed of your father's death, so he didn't dare to stop it, but he also wrote many times afterwards to invite your grandfather to come back, but your grandfather refused to agree. ”

Speaking of this, Ma couldn't help but sigh again: "Your grandfather always thought that he would never help the border army again in this life, but he didn't expect to make an exception today." ”
