Da Kui was a little worried, and came to the tent alone on the second day. The bookkeeper is called Feng Sanqi, a person in his 40s, his parents died due to a fire in his home when he was a child, and he himself was seriously injured, and he was rescued by his neighbors and escaped. Because of his ugly face, no woman is willing to marry him.

Feng Sanqi is as his name suggests, and he has miraculous abilities. It is strange to look at the ledger with one hand and make an abacus in one hand, and its speed is fast and error-free. As long as he has seen the accounts, he will not forget this in every detail. Each hand holds a stroke, and each font is written in three odds.

Feng Sanqi was originally the housekeeper of Tang He's mansion, and after this house was designated as Zhang's mansion by King Wu, Tang He sent dozens of people such as Feng Sanqi and maids and servants into Zhang's mansion, which can be said to take care of Da Kui in every way.

At this time, only Feng Sanqi was in the account room. Da Kui's steps were very light when he walked into the account room, and Feng Sanqi was just behind the counter looking down to sort out the accounts, unaware of Da Kui's arrival. Da Kui coughed slightly, Feng Sanqi raised his head and saw that it was the master who came, and hurriedly walked out of the counter to salute. Da Kui smiled lightly and said, "Steward Feng doesn't have to be polite, I'm here to ask Steward Feng a few things." ”

Feng Sanqi arched his hand and replied: "If the master has something to ask, he knows everything." ”

Da Kui asked, "How much silver is there in the house now?" ”

Feng Sanqi smiled and said: "If you go back to the master, the treasury has more than 500 taels of gold, 4,800 taels of silver, 2,000 horses of silk, and more than 300 pieces of jade treasures. The total is about 17,000 taels of silver. ”

Da Kui was shocked when he heard this, and Feng Sanqi observed the words and said: "There are about more than 100 officials who came to give gifts at the end of the year, and most of the gifts are gold and silver treasures. Feng Sanqi paused and said: "It is normal for officials to give gifts among themselves, and the small ones have been carefully checked and made in case the adults ask." ”

Da Kui never thought that he could have so much money, and besides, he only knew it. There are still more than 10,000 taels of silver in the Longping Mansion, so isn't it nearly 30,000 taels of silver? Da Kui couldn't help frowning when he thought of this, wouldn't he be the same as a corrupt official?

Feng Sanqi said with a smile: "There is a saying in officialdom that says well: three years of state capital and county, 100,000 snowflakes of silver. In other words, the official titles of the state capital and county are all below the fourth grade, and they are 30,000 taels a year, and half of the adult's silver is rewarded by the king of Wu and Yulu, so the adult should not blame himself in his heart. ”

Da Kui looked at Feng Sanqi's face and couldn't help but feel furious. Feng Sanqi's face was wrinkled and tangled, and it was very terrifying. And what he said was even more alarmist. The living needs of the common people are only three or five taels of silver a year or even less, and the officials have 100,000 taels of silver as their income a year, while the official residence moves thousands of taels or even tens of thousands of taels. Isn't this a corrupt official?

"Draw up a list and record the officials who gave the gifts. "Da Kui is going to be mad, if he doesn't rectify the rule of the people, how can he live in peace? As the political envoy of Jiangnantong, how can he allow such a thing to happen? Feng Sanqi didn't dare to slack off when he heard this, turned around and went into the counter and began to bury his head in sorting out the list. Da Kui paced indoors, thought carefully for a while, and said, "You write down here, the official will send someone to get it if he has something to do." After saying this, Da Kui turned around and walked out of the account room.

Da Kui immediately summoned Master Feng and the four guards and Yang Xiaohu, and informed everyone to pack up and prepare to go south to Longping Mansion. Yang Xiaohu couldn't help asking, "Father-in-law, why are we in such a hurry?"

Da Kui looked at everyone: "This official is ashamed of King Wu and ashamed of the people of Jiangnan, but as the political envoy of Jiangnan, he has done nothing. This time I am going to travel to Jiangnan with everyone, and I will return the people of Jiangnan to a blue sky. Let's go and prepare!" Seeing everyone leave, Da Kui couldn't help but sigh. King Wu has already hinted that he should leave Beijing as soon as possible, and said that officials below the fourth rank can be cut first and then played, so that he may lose the king's order if he delays it any longer.

After everyone was packed, Da Kui asked Master Feng to write a letter in the front hall. The approximate content is to ask Wu Wang Enzhun to set up a Jiangnan Tong political envoy yamen in Lin'an Mansion, and to ask the imperial court for permission to recruit 200 yacha on its own in order to facilitate the handling of cases. In addition, Da Kui asked King Wu to take back the gold and silver in Da Kui's mansion and treasury in Yingtian, so as to show that he would lead by example and never covet wealth and wealth.

Master Feng waved the fold, and after Da Kui saw it, he stamped the official seal, and Xu Yuan took the fold and rode a fast horse to the palace of King Wu.

(The Song Folds originated in the Qing Dynasty, but they followed the path of the Ming Dynasty inscriptions and songs.) Hereinafter collectively referred to as "Folds")

Da Kui instructed everyone to prepare chariots and horses, and set off for the south tomorrow, and everyone gave up their hands to receive their orders.

When he returned to the back house, he saw Huang Ying stroking the qin, and Da Kui told Huang Ying his thoughts.

Huang Ying got up and came to Da Kui's side and smiled slightly: "No matter where the husband goes, Ying'er will follow him!" Although it was a short sentence, the words were full of affection.

Da Kui gently hugged Huang Ying in his arms and said warmly: "As a political envoy of Jiangnan, I should do something." I have a heavy responsibility for my husband but Mrs. Lao runs with me, and I am really ashamed of my husband in my heart. ”

Huang Ying said with a smile: "Ying'er used to be a son and daughter of the rivers and lakes, and there is nothing to talk about on this road. I just hope that my husband can be safe and sound wherever he goes, and the slave family will be content. ”

Da Kui was pleased: "The husband plans to return the gold and silver in the palace to the imperial court, in order to clean himself and love himself." We have a mansion in Longping, and we don't want this mansion anymore, and we will return it to the imperial court. ”

Huang Ying was shocked when she heard this, raised her head and looked at Da Kui and couldn't help asking, "You have returned all the money, so what should we do?"

Da Kui said with a smile: "There are a total of 17,000 taels of gold and silver in the house, we can keep 300 taels, and don't want the rest, so as not to fall into the mouth of a corrupt official." ”

Huang Ying couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart when she heard this, it was all silver.

The two hugged each other and didn't speak again, Da Kui had made up his mind, and Huang Ying was reluctant but obedient.

After a long time, Huang Ying said quietly: "The slave family does not dare to disobey the order of the husband, but there is one thing that the slave family does not dare to hide." Xianyin Pavilion has sent the pipa that the slave family likes to the mansion. ”

"Huh?" Da Kui suddenly let go of Huang Ying's hand and looked at Huang Ying with a shocked face.

Huang Ying smiled and said, "Husband, don't look at me like this, the store of Xianyin Pavilion won't come to ask for money." ”

Hearing this, Da Kui asked suspiciously, "Why is this?

Huang Ying smiled: "I bet your waist card to the store!" Da Kui fainted again......
