Volume 4 Tang Poetry Murder Chapter 3 Account Book

It took a day for Warburg Pincus to get the book in his hands until dinnertime. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info He looked through it a little and it didn't change. Even the last page was written by him before March. After a little thought, Hua Ping understood the reason. There are not many people in the right military guard who can write and count, and after he was punished, he did not find a replacement, so the bookkeeping was naturally delayed.

Hua Ping rushed back to the inn with the account book, but saw that the house was pitch black. He only said that Su Zhuo had not returned, and slammed the door into the house, and couldn't help but be startled. Su Zhuo sat firmly in his chair, staring blankly at the corner.

Hua Ping sighed, he was already surprised by him, shook the fire, lit the candle, and said, "Su Zhuo, why don't you even light the lamp?"

Su Zhuo was still indifferent, and Hua Ping suddenly saw a piece of paper spread out on the table, on which a small poem was copied, which Su Zhuo copied in the West Market bookstore. Hua Ping smiled and said, "Su Zhuo, why are you still elegant? Scholars make poems? Unfortunately, this poem is not very good! I have never seen the first sentence, but I have heard the last three sentences. You copied it, right?"

Su Zhuo came back to his senses and said, "I thought about this poem for a long time, but I couldn't figure out the meaning of it. The second sentence 'don't get Liaoxi' comes from Jin Changxu's Chunchun Resentment", which is about the woman's thoughts about the husband of the war. The last two sentences of 'a bush of dark flowers, ten households are endowed' are Bai Letian's Qin Zhongyin", which is written about the value of peonies. What do you want to say when you put these sentences together? What does the first sentence mean?"

Hua Ping was stunned for a moment and said, "What? This poem wasn't written by you? Then this poem is so strange, how can it be made up of any meaning!"

Su Zhuo followed his words and muttered, "Patchwork ...... ......Suddenly Su Zhuo slapped his forehead and said, "That's right! It's not the same meaning at all! Since each sentence has a different source, it naturally expresses a different meaning!"

Hua Ping was stunned for a moment and said, "But what does this lady have to do with Peony?"

When Su Zhuo heard the question, he looked up blankly, as if he had just seen Hua Ping come back at this time, and said in surprise: "Why did you come here now? What are you busy with this day?"

Hua Ping was helpless, threw the account book in his arms on the table, and said: "It took me a day to get this account book, and you actually forgot about it!"

Su Zhuo patted his head and said, "Yes, yes, yes!" As he spoke, he picked up the account book and flipped through it, and said strangely: "This account book was written by you personally?"

Hua Ping nodded, "That's right, so I don't know what you want it for." ”

Su Zhuo smiled: "Naturally, it is useful." Tell me what's wrong with the account. ”

Hua Ping pointed to the page at the beginning of the year and said: "There is nothing wrong with the accounts here, but the strange thing is that according to the account books, the expenses in the first month are only five hundred and thirty taels of silver. However, the treasury said that the monthly salary of 745 taels of silver had been fully withdrawn. ”

Su Zhuo nodded and said, "And you don't know who took the two hundred and fifteen taels......! You told me at the time that you reported the matter to the partial general Liu Zhong, but two days later, he falsely accused you of embezzling military silver?"

Hua Ping nodded and said, "Yes, when I reported, General Liu only said that he would go to investigate. Unexpectedly, two days later, they suddenly took me down and announced my guilt. ”

Su Zhuo nodded, looked through the account books again, and said, "Before this month, there were no mistakes or omissions in the financial accounts, is it only this month that has problems?"

Hua Ping said: "Yes, if there was a problem before, I would have found it a long time ago!"

Su Zhuo smiled: "It seems that it is as I expected, although this General Liu Biao must have nothing to do with this matter, I am afraid that he is not the culprit who embezzled the military silver." It stands to reason that he is most likely to go to the treasury to withdraw the silver taels, but if the treasury checks it a little, it will be exposed. Therefore, the person who was able to conceal this matter for so long must be someone who can manipulate the account books of the treasury! And after you reported to General Liu that day, he must have gone to ask this person behind the scenes for instructions. After getting the instructions, I will use you as a pervert. ”

Hua Ping gasped and said, "You mean ......"

Su Zhuo said: "Yes, the biggest one who can do something in the military treasury is naturally General Youwuwei." Secondly, there are also the superintendents, the long history, the governor, and so on. And these people are not easy to deal with!" Su Zhuo smiled slightly, and then asked rhetorically: "Hua Ping, how far do you want to investigate this case? If you don't have a firm mind, I advise you to stop in moderation!"

Hua Ping was stunned for a moment, then his eyes widened, revealing an extremely resolute brilliance, and said: "Originally, I was already disheartened about this matter, but since I have returned to Chang'an, I have to investigate this case clearly." Even if the person behind the scenes is a general, I have to get justice for myself!"

Su Zhuo was also deeply affected and said, "Since you have this heart, I am relieved." If I'm not mistaken, you're not the only ones who have been robbed of the military's money. Because two hundred and fifteen taels of silver is not a large amount for generals and above. Moreover, according to the law, as long as he embezzled the money of the army, it was a crime to be beheaded by allotment, and it was also a crime to swallow a hundred taels and a thousand taels, so why should he take more of it? Therefore he would divide the amount among several families. You're going to check tomorrow to see if there's anyone in the team who complains about the lack of money. ”

Hua Ping nodded and said, "However, the locations of each team are different, and it will take some time to investigate them one by one." ”

Su Zhuo said: "Don't worry, it just so happens that I also ran into a case, and it takes two days to think about it." ”

Hua Ping immediately understood, and said with a smile: "It turns out that the poem on the table is the problem you encountered!"

Su Zhuo nodded, briefly recounted what happened today, and finally sighed: "This case doesn't seem to be mysterious, but this poem is a little strange!"

Hua Ping was also a little strange, and said: "According to what you said, this poem is a bloody book left by the deceased, so why didn't he just write down the name of the murderer? But he had to go to such great lengths to spell out such a poem, what did he want to tell us?"

Su Zhuo shook his head and muttered, "There must be some clues that I didn't notice......" He closed his eyes, as if he was in the bookstore again. The house was a mess, the bookshelves were turned into a mess, and books were thrown to the floor. The deceased Zhao Yan was in front of Su Zhuo, his eyes were split, and his face was full of horror. But his mouth was blocked, and he could only let out a low pant of "ho-ho" from his throat.

The murderer was hidden in the shadows, unable to see his face clearly, and suddenly raised the steel knife in his hand, aimed at Zhao Yan's chest and stabbed straight down. A cruel smile appeared at the corner of the murderer's mouth, this knife penetrated through the heart, Zhao Yan would definitely die!

Su Zhuo opened his eyes abruptly and blurted out, "So that's the case!"
