Chapter 122: Ledger
The old gentleman in the account room has been in Qijianmen for 30 years, and when he is about to return to his hometown, he died in Guming Mountain, which is really embarrassing.
The cause of the fire was quickly found, the account room was located at the top of the Jiuming Mountain, the temperature was much lower than the foot of the mountain, and the old man in the account room was old and cold, so he made a stove at his feet to keep warm.
Xu accidentally dropped the ledger in the stove, which caused such a big fire and lost his life.
After several days of sorting and repairing, the accounts that remained after the fire were unrecognizable, and there was no way to reconcile them. A fire is really a great way to destroy evidence.
The suspicion in Luo Xifeng and Dongyang's hearts can be turned into affirmation, there is definitely something wrong with Xia Er and Ji Andong's accounts. As soon as they were about to check the accounts, the accounts were burned down, which can no longer be described as a coincidence.
Something so big happened, which naturally alarmed the elders of the five peaks, and after the fire in the account room was extinguished, the five elders gathered in Moyuan Pavilion.
Elder Pei Daizhen of the First Peak of Yunnan, Elder Yin Song of the Second Peak of Yunnan, Elder Xia Er of the Second Peak of the Dian Peak, Elder Ye Gulan of the First Peak of the Hua First Peak, Elder Ji Andong of the Second Peak, and Dongyang and Luo Xifeng of the Second Peak of the Fen Shi Peak sat in turn.
Because Cha Ming and Zhou Qing had a three-day appointment, they were put aside for the time being. Luo Xifeng didn't worry about leaving her alone in the courtyard, so he asked her to wait in the side hall of Moyuan Pavilion.
"What's wrong with the Seven Swords Gate recently? First a disciple of the Second Peak of Dian died, and now the account room has been burned down again, why did so many things suddenly happen to my Seven Swords Gate?" Pei Daizhen squinted his eyes and said in a strange tone.
The death of a disciple in Dian Erfeng made him feel a little happy in his heart, he hated Yin Song's old guy the most, he still wanted to sit in the position of the head of the house when he was old, his temper was stinky and hard, he could make him eat a deflated, of course he was happy to see jokes.
Ye Gulan has always talked little, and he never speaks when it comes to Hua Yifeng. But the account room was destroyed, and the accounts of the five peaks over the years were not clear, which made him quite mindful. There are many disciples of the Seven Swords Sect, and each peak has a golden bead exchange every month, and each has its own share.
Now that the accounts are ruined, how to calculate the previous examples, and how to balance the comings and goings of the five peaks, these are all things that Ye Gulan cares about.
Charles and Ji Andong don't talk as much as usual, and they don't seem to care too much about this matter.
Yin Song's black face has never turned white from the beginning, his face is gloomy, and his heavy aura is very depressing.
"Yesterday my apprentice died in the mountain behind the Fen Shi Peak, and today the account room in the Fen Shi Peak was burned again, in my opinion, these things are inseparable from the Fen Shi Peak, and the position of the head of the sect is no longer suitable for the disciples of the Fen Shi Peak to sit. ”
Yin Song's words represent the thoughts of several other people, the contradiction between him and Wei Shifeng has risen suddenly in the past few days, and Luo Xifeng and Cha Ming have become thorns in his side.
"The fire in the account room is not unintentional by the old gentleman, it must be the work of the demon cultivator hidden in the Seven Swords Gate, you don't want to follow the path of demon cultivation. Dongyang hurriedly explained.
"Heh, the acting head of the sect pushes everything on the demon cultivator, since this is the case, then find out the demon cultivator to correct the Fa on the spot. Charles didn't accept this explanation, and the others nodded their heads when they heard it.
"Hmph, don't be sloppy anymore, the improper employment of Wei Shifeng caused a fire that led to the destruction of the account room, such a mistake is admitted, how can it be a big husband to shirk again and again? I want to remind you that the three-day limit has passed halfway, and the acting head of the house must not forget our agreement. "Scholarly
Yin Song was angry about Zhou Qing's death, and the account room was destroyed, and it was not a big deal if the treasury was destroyed, but the life of his disciple of Yunnan Erfeng must be recovered.
"Yes, why was the disciple of Dian Erfeng killed in my Seven Swords Sect? I heard that Zhou Qing was already an eighth-level spiritual power, but I didn't expect to be killed so easily, tsk. Pei Daizhen's words were very awkward, and the implication of his words was that Zhou Qing's cultivation was not enough, and the disciples of Dian Erfeng were incompetent.
"You. Yin Song slapped the table in anger, and suddenly burned with anger. Pei Daizhen, a villain with a weird yin and yang spirit, loves to fall into the well the most, and his villainous appearance stabbed Yin Song's head.
"Elder Pei Daizhen, you just don't have to say a few words. Elder Yin Song is also not angry, the murderer of Zhou Qing is in the Seven Swords Gate, she can't escape, wait patiently for the head of the Hou Dynasty to give us an explanation. Ji Andong stood on both sides of his life to persuade him, he has always played the role of a good man, he does not fight or grab, and he is a peacemaker.
But his words clearly and secretly pointed out that Cha Ming was the murderer, and asked Yin Song to find Cha Ming to ask for his life after a three-day appointment.
Luo Xifeng silently watched a few people singing a big opera, everyone had their own ghosts in their hearts, and their thoughts were different, but the heart of excluding Wei Shifeng was the same.
Ye Gulan couldn't help but feel a little anxious when he heard them say that they were all disciples of the Second Peak of Yunnan. This elders' meeting came because the accounts were burned, so no one talked about the accounts.
"Ahem, today's meeting of elders is to discuss the affairs of the account room, and the personal grievances between Wei Shifeng and Dian Erfeng will be left to them to decide. Ye Gulan couldn't help but speak.
"Yes, yes, five elders, I have already counted the losses in the accounting room. Dongyang heard Pei Daizhen's words and quickly ended the topic and interrupted the topic.
"According to the disciple's return, the most serious destruction is the wooden frame on the side of the account landlord, on that piece of wooden shelf is all the accounts of the Seven Swords Gate in the past year, but unfortunately it has been burned down now, and it is impossible to inquire about the details of this year. ”
Dongyang has listed the losses in the account room, and the accounts of a few years ago are still there, but the accounts of the past three years or so have been the most ruined.
At the end of each year, the account office will conduct a year-end inventory to settle the expenditures and surpluses of each peak. Now that the amount issued is gone, what is the basis for this account at the end of the year, and how should the monthly rules be arranged in the future?" Ye Gulan finally said what he was most concerned about.
Hua Yifeng will have a surplus of gold beads at the end of each year, all of which are stored in the treasury of the Seven Swords Gate, and now that the accounts are gone, how can he prove that those gold beads belong to him Hua Yifeng, in case they are confiscated, what can I do.
"Don't worry about this Elder Pei, I believe that the five peaks each have their own account books, please copy a copy of the account book and hand it over to the account room, and the disciples in the account room will compare and settle it one by one, the five peaks are guaranteed to have a lot of things, is it good to deal with it like this?" Dongyang has already thought of a countermeasure, this is the last resort.
At this time, a young disciple came to deliver a message. After Dongyang heard this, his face was happy.
"There is no need for the elders to take the account books, the old gentleman has not been very good at his brain in recent years, so he made two copies of the account books of the past two years, and left one in his bedroom. Fortunately, the bedroom did not catch fire, and the ledger was still in good condition. I have had the ledgers moved to my study, and in the past few days I have checked them with the treasury one by one, and I have reassured the five elders. ”
Hearing this, Pei Daizhen was relieved, the account book was still there, and there would be no shortage of what he Hua Yifeng should have.
Yin Song's mind was not on the account book, and when he heard that the account book was still there, he left. The three-day period of Zhou Qingzhi's death is approaching, and he just needs to wait patiently.
