November 15, morning.

Yuan Xiao, Yan Shun, Hong Si, and Lei Zhen were invited by Liu Xunyi to go to the middle hall to discuss matters. Xun Qin, Abaolu, Xiao Yang, Su Hu, and Xun Budao came together to "join in the fun". The strange thing is that Liu Xunyi, who is the protagonist, has been missing for a long time.

"Miss, since you explained the stakes to us, we have determined that we want to fight with Liu Xunyi. Sitting in the middle hall and having nothing to do, Lei Zhen couldn't help but complain to Xun Qin, "But I don't know why? We didn't want to see him a few days ago, but he deliberately avoided us these days." We have never been able to find a chance to 'turn enemies into friends' with him. ”

"I know why. Xun Qin teased, "He has found a flaw in the accounts, and knows that your city is deeper than the other, so he doesn't dare to meet you easily." ”

"Miss, we have already learned our mistakes......"

"Needless to say, I'll see what I'm looking at later. ”

"Understood!"

Before he finished speaking, there was a sudden sound of messy and noisy footsteps outside the hall. Immediately afterwards, Pan Yuyin led dozens of Yuanmen disciples to carry large and small boxes into the middle hall and arrange them in front of everyone in an orderly manner.

Looking at the familiar box, the four Yuan Xiao, who were worried about it, changed their faces and looked forward to each other, with a hint of apprehension in their eyes. On the other hand, Xun Qin sat on the side, silently observing the situation in the hall while drinking tea.

"The Deputy Sect Master has arrived!"

With a shout as bright as a bell, Liu Xunyi strode into the central hall accompanied by Tang Afu and a young man.

"Meet the Deputy Sect Master!"

As soon as they saw Liu Xunyi, Yuan Xiao, who was sitting on pins and needles, suddenly got up and bowed to him respectfully.

It is worth mentioning that when Yuan Xiao saw the young man who was following Liu Xunyi, a hint of surprise quietly flashed in his eyes.

At the age of about twenty, Lang eyes and eyebrows, sun-horned pearl court, well-dressed, dignified, eyebrows with a "newborn calf is not afraid of tigers" aggressiveness and toughness, a pair of black and white eyes from time to time flashed a trace of wisdom.

Take a closer look, the aura exuded by the young man's gestures is quite similar to Yuan Xiao, the head of the "Four Prefectures in Beijing".

"The four of them are all seniors under them, so there is no need to be formal. Seeing that Yuan Xiao's attitude had changed drastically and he was more respectful to himself, Liu Xunyi was secretly taken aback, and hurriedly returned the salute to them, and at the same time asked Pan Yuyin, "Miss Pan, can you prepare things?"

"It's all here!" Pan Yuyin quickly counted and replied, "Fifteen boxes of Yuanmen, thirteen boxes of Yanmen, twelve boxes of Hongmen, and twelve boxes of Leimen, a total of fifty-two boxes." Among them, there are 12 boxes of people in the four prefectures of Shangjing, business account books, land deeds, and silver tickets. Forty boxes of gold, silver, jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings. ”

"Open them all!"

Liu Xunyi gave an order, and dozens of Yuan Sect disciples standing next to the box opened the lid of the box together, revealing rolls of crumpled and yellowed file account books and piles of dazzling gold, silver, pearls and jade.

Seeing this, Yuan Xiao, Yan Shun, Hong Si, and Lei Zhen were secretly taken aback, and subconsciously raised their eyes to look at their own boxes.

When they saw the account books that had been deliberately dismantled by themselves and arranged in an orderly manner, a hint of foreboding vaguely rose in the hearts of the four of them.

They knew that after several days of sleepless work, Liu Xunyi had now checked the accounts of the four prefectures in Shangjing. Compare the gold, silver, jewelry, antique calligraphy and paintings, silver tickets, land deeds and other things in front of you, check and calculate them one by one, and find out their details and find out the flaws in the accounts, which is not difficult at all.

As everyone knows, Liu Xunyi has served the Song Dynasty for many years, and he has studied and practiced hard in Tianji Pavilion for more than a dozen spring and autumn periods, in addition to literary talents and martial arts, he knows people, identifies murderers, listens, tracks, interrogations, checks, and raids...... It is also one of the skills that every Dongfu Shaobao must learn, know and refine.

Therefore, when Liu Xunyi took out the same set of skills to deal with the ministers of the court to deal with Yuan Xiao and the four people, even if he couldn't reach it easily, at least he was familiar with it.

At this moment, the four of Yuan Xiao, who had ghosts in their hearts, looked embarrassed one after another, and invariably cast earnest glances at Xun Qin.

However, Xun Qin pretended to be ignorant of their worries, and instead of helping them out of the siege, he asked in a matter-of-fact manner: "These things are all secrets of the four prefectures in Beijing, can you find out what is wrong?"

"It's true, it's ...... Some questions. Liu Xunyi took a deep look at Yuan Xiao and the four of them, and replied reluctantly.

After that, Liu Xunyi took an account book from Pan Yuyin's hand and said bitterly: "This account book...... It is the number of re-liquidations with Miss Pan after Brother Tang searched around and checked them one by one. Among them, the disciples of the four mansions in Shangjing are about the same as the roster, not counting the guys who take care of business and the idlers who eat and wait for death, Yuan, Yan, Hong, and Lei each have more than 1,000 disciples. The Yuan Sect has the most disciples and the Lei Sect has the fewest disciples, but the difference between the top and bottom is only one or two hundred. However, except for the roster, the rest of the mansions and fields, business profits and losses, money and grain receipts and expenditures, etc., were all related to the accounts handed over to me by the four of them...... Slightly different. ”

As soon as these words came out, Yuan Xiao's hearts instantly rose to their throats, and their faces were even more ugly than the other.

"Oh?" Xun frowned slightly, pretending to be surprised, "What's the difference?"

"This ......" looked at the restless Yuan Xiao and the four of them, Liu Xunyi hesitated and hesitated.

"Why don't you say it?" Xun Qin couldn't wait to ask, "Is there something unspeakable?"

"Actually, it's not a big deal. Why don't you let everyone go back first, we'll ...... privately"

"No! It's not a matter of stealing chickens and touching dogs, so why can't it be made public? What's more, all the people present today are their own people, and there is no need to hide something. Xun Qin interrupted Liu Xunyi's suggestion, and instead turned his breathtaking gaze to Pan Yuyin, who had no master of the six gods, and said in a condensed voice, "Miss Pan, what is the difference between you and me......?" Or is it less?"

"This ......" Pan Yuyin looked at Liu Xunyi, who was frowning, and then looked at Xun Qin, who was anxious, and was entangled again and again before replying, "Compared with the number of our liquidations, what is recorded in these account books...... Spend more, earn less. ”

"Miss Pan means...... They spend a penny, but keep an account? Conversely, they earn a tael, but keep an account?" Xun Qin firmly locked his cold gaze on Yuan Xiao and the four of them, and asked, "Is this the reason why you cry poor every day?"

"Hmph!" Abaoru said angrily, "that day, the eldest lady asked you for help, but you kept saying that 'manpower, material resources, and financial resources are limited'...... Now that the truth has been exposed, what can you say?"

"We know wrong...... We have nothing to say. ”

In the face of Xun Qin and Abaolu's reprimand, Yuan Xiao and the four of them were disheartened and silent.

"Abaolu, Xiao Yang, Su Hu, Xun Pudao, take down all four of them!" Xun Qin seemed to be more and more angry the more he thought about it, he slammed the teacup on the table with a "bang", and said angrily, "A group of white-eyed wolves who eat inside and out, in vain the young Qin king entrusted you with a heavy responsibility, and you will respond to your requests, you dare to use his trust to deceive the upper and lower levels, and fill your own pockets? It is really hateful, hateful, and shameful, I want to cut off your head and return to the young Qin king!"

"I'll know my mistake! Miss spare her life! Miss spare her life......"

Seeing Xun Qin's anger, Yuan Xiao and the four of them hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to her like garlic and begged for mercy. At the same time, dozens of disciples in the hall also knelt on the ground and pleaded for the four of them.

Seeing this, Liu Xunyi, Pan Yuyin, and Tang Afu were stunned at the same time. Although they expected that Xun Qin might be angry, they never expected that she would have murderous intent towards the four "heroes" of the Shaoqin King.

I still remember that Xun Qin swore to tell Liu Xunyi that he could only knock on the mountain and shock the tiger to Yuan Xiao and the four of them, and could not kill chickens and monkeys.

What's the matter today? Why did Xun Qin suddenly change sex? Didn't she care at all about the hard work of Yuan Xiao and the four of them? She didn't care at all about the love between King Shaoqin and them for more than 20 years?

Or ...... Xun Qin has always looked at them unpleasantly, and he used to suffer from the lack of real evidence, so he couldn't beat or scold. And now Liu Xunyi has found out a mountain of ironclad evidence, just so that she can push the boat down the river and kill people with a knife?

In an instant, countless thoughts flashed through Liu Xunyi's mind one by one, making him confused and confused.

"Liu Xunyi, it's you who hurt us!" Lei Zhen scolded angrily, "I knew you wanted to kill us, but I didn't expect your methods to be so despicable......!

The sudden chaos of "I ......" caught Liu Xunyi off guard and couldn't argue.

"Stubborn!" Xun Qin's eyes were fierce, and he said coldly, "Obviously I did something wrong, but instead of repenting, I made a mistake and made insulting remarks." Xiao Yang, give me a hard slap in the mouth!"

"Obey ......"

"I'm coming!"

Before Xiao Yang stepped forward, Abaolu, who had been holding back a bad breath, suddenly flew over. Before Lei Zhen could wink at him, Abaolu had already picked up his big hand and slapped him on the head mercilessly.

"Smack!"

With a slap, Lei Zhen's face instantly left five red fingerprints, and at the same time, a trace of blood oozed from the corner of his mouth.

"Abaoru, you're really ......"

"It's true that you are full of private pockets, why did Lao Tzu beat you to cheat?"

Seeing that Lei Zhen's mouth was unobstructed, Abaolu's face changed, and in order not to reveal his flaws, he hurriedly cursed, and then split his head and covered his face with a violent storm, and the thunder Zhen who had suffered was slammed to the ground, and his mouth was "woo woo lur" indistinctly.

"So, what are you waiting for?"

Xun Qin stared at the overwhelmed Xiao Yang and the others with unkind eyes, and urged: "Go and tie up Yuan Xiao, Yan Shun, and Hongsi, and send them on their way at noon today!"

"Yes......"

"Wait a minute!"

In a hurry, Liu Xunyi had no time to weigh the pros and cons, and stepped forward without thinking: "This matter started because of me, you can't kill them." ”

"It's obvious that their hands and feet are not clean, what do you have to do with it?" Xun Qin said in a word, "What's more, they have always been disobedient to you, and today I finally found a reason to get rid of them justifiably......"

"If that's the case, you can't kill them!" Liu Xunyi's eyes changed, and he said firmly, "I only followed your advice when I checked the accounts, and I have no intention of deliberately finding fault." If they fall into trouble because of this, how do you let my brothers in the four mansions of Beijing think of me, and how do you let the world look at me?"

"This ......"

Seeing that Liu Xunyi was righteously speaking for Yuan Xiao and the four of them, Xun Xun was happy in his heart, but on the surface, he pretended to insist, and said indignantly: "There is a way to 'see the big with the small, and know the leopard'." They falsify their accounts, and they may hide them elsewhere as well. The king of Shaoqin hates the most people in front of him and behind the scenes, they have committed a big taboo, you want to make a big thing a small thing with a word, why?"

"This ......"

When Liu Xunyi wanted to speak and stopped, hesitating, the young man standing behind him seemed to be unable to hold back the urgency and panic in his heart anymore, and rashly interjected regardless of his identity: "Just because he is the deputy sect master of the Xilu Martial Sect, he is in charge of all matters of the four major rudders of the Central Plains, including the rewards and punishments of the four rudder masters, I don't know...... Okay?"
