From this morning, the days of running out of the reef all day were over.

After the morning exercise, after breakfast, he began to check the Chang'an avant-garde account books sent by the Zhenguo Mansion in the room of his cousin Xie Wenzai. He will classify all kinds of accounts, summarize and sort out the annual expenses of various affairs, compare them before and after, and then combine them with the details of expenses, and the unreasonable places will come out. If there is a flaw that can be seen at a glance, he will mark it with a small note and leave it for his grandfather Haixi Cliff for reference.

As he said to his sister Haitang, when he was a secret agent of Jinyi Wei in his last life, he was not less exposed to various names that made excuses to collect public funds. Now he looks at the account books of Chang'an's avant-garde, and often encounters familiar records. Especially in the last few years, some of the excuses and practices are exactly the same, as if they were copied from Jinyiwei. Could it be that the people in the capital and the Chang'an Guard are doing tricks and feet on the accounts, and they are all using the same routine?

Haijiao thought about it again and again, and always felt that something was wrong with this. Especially Du Boqin's tricks in the account in his early years, he did not use this trick, and the methods were relatively rough, which made it easy for people to see that it was completely because of his father-in-law's face that no one exposed it. The son of the family in the avant-garde account room in Chang'an looked at it accurately, and the small notes he made in private were dense, and even Du Boqin's subordinates secretly concealed how much money he was greedy for, and he could calculate it.

But in recent years, Du Boqin's henchman's bookkeeping method has made great progress, as if he had learned the true scriptures from a famous teacher, and even the children of the family who did accounts for that generation were often deceived in the past, and the small notes he made in private were reduced a lot, and I couldn't help but wonder, thinking that Commander Du had changed to a vegetarian diet. But in fact, in recent years, Du Boqin has not only stopped embezzling the funds of the health center, but has also added a lot of tricks to spend money, and it has become more hidden.

Such a change made Haijiao wonder if Du Boqin had colluded with the Sun family and learned new skills from them?

Although the Sun family does not mix with the army, Sun Guifei's cousin Sun Yongbai should be serving in Jinyiwei now, and he will be transferred elsewhere in a few years. In the last life, after the death of the old Marshal Zhou of Zhenguo, the Zhou family lost control of the Northwest Frontier Army, and the Duchess of Zhenguo moved to the capital with her family. And Sun Yongbai at this time was already a high-ranking official in the Five Cities Soldier Sima.

Could it be that Sun Yongbai learned the ability to make accounts and collect public funds in Jinyiwei, and after colluding with Du Boqin, he taught this new skill to the latter?

Hai Jiao secretly guessed in his heart, but the movements in his hands have not been interrupted, and he quickly wrote down a few account records that had just been found to be problematic, and even the amount of money and food hidden behind these records was also calculated clearly by the way, and it was recorded at the end, which could save his grandfather a lot of effort.

Xie Wenzai watched him look through the account books, writing down the problematic points one by one, which was extremely efficient, and couldn't help but sigh: "Your grandfather always expects you to inherit his position." I, Grandpa Cao, and Grandpa Lu and I have always felt that you should make achievements in the imperial examination, and it is too wasteful to be an accountant in the army, and I don't agree with your grandfather's idea. Now it seems that you are indeed quite talented in settling accounts, and there is nothing wrong with following the path arranged by your grandfather. "You can still participate in the investigation of corruption and adultery.

Haijiao raised his head and smiled at Xie Wenzai: "Uncle Cousin, even if I don't go to the imperial examination, it doesn't mean that I won't get ahead." The homework you taught me with Grandpa Cao and Grandpa Lu will be used one day, and it will not be in vain. ”

Xie Wenzai was stunned, then smiled slightly, took the reef and flipped through the marked account books, and analyzed it carefully.

The reef was so immersed in its work, but it didn't completely forget what was going on outside.

After lunch, he took advantage of the time for the others to take their naps and lead the horses out for a walk. To his grandmother Ma, he claimed that he was "working for a long time, my head was dizzy, and I wanted to blow the wind and breathe", but in fact, he went to collect intelligence.

The old military division is still in the Zhenguo Mansion, and the reef is inconvenient to always come to the door to disturb, but Huang Zhutou must go to sit there. He brought Huang Zhutou's mother her favorite snacks, and then coaxed the old man to be happy, obediently took medicine, and then went to sleep for half a day, so that Huang Zhutou could go to work in the yamen with confidence. With the hired Suzhou mother and daughter to take care of the house, he no longer has to worry about his mother's accident at home, and he is very grateful to Haijiao. He also knew what Haijiao wanted to know, so he also reciprocated and told him the latest results of Huang Governor's interrogation of Wang Laoliu.

Wang Lao Liu knew limited things, and he couldn't say anything new, so he began to recall the bad things he had done for the Sun family in the past. Governor Huang was also very concerned about this information, and planned to write it in the secret fold, so he asked very carefully. On Saturday, the general and the old army division had already evacuated the government and were busy with other things.

The two girls of the Du family finally met with their families, and after discussion, they had made up their minds to betray the Lord and save themselves. Du Boqin saw that it was a dead end, and in order to prevent his family and friends from being sold by the unofficial after the main family was convicted, they also had to strive for some credit. It is said that they took someone to dig the grave of the Du family's concubine today, and the latter actually left a secret suicide note for his son before he died, and the two girls found it when they collected the funeral for her, but they didn't open it and hid it in the coffin. They originally planned to wait for the young master Du Qi to come back to the funeral, and then rebury the housemother, so that they could take out this suicide note. Now they can only say sorry to the young master, they have to use this suicide note to save themselves first.

Hai Jiao happily came out of Huang Zhutou's house, and seeing that it was still early, he went to look for the errand boys he had hired earlier.

He selected three or four people from these teenagers, all of whom were familiar with the situation inside and outside Chang'an City, had a steady and reliable personality, had a tight mouth, had sharp legs and feet, and had experience in handling funeral matters, and then went home and called Ma Changnian, and asked the latter to drive the carriage and send these teenagers to the Zhou family's three-room village.

Jin Jiashu had entrusted him with helping to hire a few errand runners, and these teenagers should be able to satisfy the former.

Jin Jiashu's injuries have improved greatly, and although he is still unable to move, he can already get out of bed and take two steps. After he knew that all the murderers of his family had been caught, he calmed down a lot, so he hired two veteran children from Beizhuang, both of whom were young and prime, and who intended to find some odd jobs nearby to do during the slack period, to help him do some errands for buying or delivering letters. He hired a few more peasant women to help wash and wash the food, make the daily meals, and make a few clothes to wear during the period of filial piety. When the errand boy hired by Haijiao to help him arrive, he can even be busy with his family's funeral.

Kim Ka-ki's life in Bessho is finally starting to get on track. Although he is still very concerned about the progress of his case, after the killers are caught, there is no urgency to interrogate the main messenger and pursue the accomplices. Persuaded by the reef, he began to shift his attention to his family's affairs and his own life, and there were many things to do every day, so he no longer always remembered the scene when the tragedy happened, and had nightmares every night.

It's just that he's still a little at a loss about the future.

Haijiao "doesn't know" the truth, and has been persuading him to write a letter to his "aunt" Xu Xianfei, even if it is just to report the funeral to his relatives and talk about his tragic situation, so that the "aunt" can pity him more. If he wants revenge, he has to count on his "aunt".

But Jin Jiashu knows that things are not so simple. He wrote only a few lines of the letter to his "aunt" to report his safety, and he didn't know how to continue.

He had a lot of things he wanted to discuss with his friends, but the reef didn't come today. After hesitating, he wrote a letter.

The errand boys who had just met their new employer received the first messenger they received was to go back to the city to deliver a letter to the reef.
