Chapter 57 Chapter 117 is really a hero, shoulder-to-shoulder

Zhao Xianwei was very surprised when he heard the words, and said: "When the official comes back, you will be there. What kind of problem can be investigated so quickly?"Shuli Feng, don't think that if Zhutou Xieku's account books are burned, you can come here to deceive the official at will. The old official said with a wry smile on his face: How dare you subordinates, your lord is too serious.It stands to reason that the subordinates should investigate carefully before reporting to the adults, but this one that was discovered just now seems to be enough to incriminate the crime. The villain knows that the adults are very concerned about this case, so he dare not be negligent and report immediately .

What happened?County Captain Zhao was both surprised and delighted, and hurriedly said: "Submit it to me for a look." Feng Shuli took out the account book from his sleeve, leaned in front of him, opened the account book and pointed out, "My lord, please look here. This line reads, in the fifth year of Qiande, on the eighth day of the sixth lunar month, ten pieces of Liu Zihan's poplin will be used, and one piece will be folded." One hundred and twelve strings, thirteen bolts of silk, folded one hundred and ten strings, twenty bolts of cloth, folded thirty strings; one catty six taels of silk, folded fifteen strings, a total of 1,420 strings

Shuli Feng read a sentence, Zhao County Lieutenant looked carefully, and sure enough, the word was correct, he couldn't help staring straight, and said in surprise: How is it possible, how is this possible, all these things are more than ten times higher than the market price.Since the Liu Mansion is pawning these things, it should be lower than the market price.Even if he is the governor of Bazhou, the Ding family would not dare to make money from him, so they can only pay on average.Now the Ding family is accepting the pawn at a price ten times higher than the market price. If it is said that Liu Zihan is not taking bribes, who would believe it?Didn't you find this flaw when you checked the accounts last time?

Feng Shuli said with a bitter face: "My lord, the account books of the Ding family over the years have been numerous and complicated. When the subordinates searched through them one by one, they were dazzled and their heads grew big. At that time, just pay attention to every account. Whether there is any discrepancy in the price, transaction, and ins and outs of the book, the master ordered someone from the Ding family to clean up the account books before they were all checked. Lieutenant Zhao's eyebrows twitched, and he forced his heart to be excited and said: "Go, you go back immediately, mark this doubtful point first, and continue to investigate."If there are any problems with the entire account book, find out all of them and report to the official as soon as possible.Remember, keep quiet!

Feng Shuli hurriedly said: "Your subordinates understand, don't worry, my lord." The old official bowed and retreated, County Captain Zhao stood by the table, thought for a while, just like the old official when he just entered the door, rolled his eyes, with a strange look on his face, and muttered to himself: It's strange, as long as someone who doesn't know the account can see it clearly, Xu Muchen can't see it?But his signature is still there, such an obvious loophole, how could he be willing to sign it in the first place?What exactly did Ding Hao do? In any case, with the account books in hand, I have made great contributions to myself.Haha, this time, Mr. Zhao has to show his face in front of him. His surname is Zhao, and I am also surnamed Zhao. As long as Mr. Zhao supports me a little, I will struggle for ten years and I may not be promoted. We are going to take a big step forward.

The more Xianwei Zhao thought about it, the more beautiful he became, he grabbed the teacup and swallowed the tea in one gulp. Vomit, Wei Le of Zhao County was so sad that he forgot that the tea had just been brewed, so he swallowed it in one gulp, burning his eyes with tears. Just at this time, two more old officials crept in, stood behind and called, "My lord." County Captain Zhao turned around with tears in his eyes, and the two old officials were taken aback when they saw it, and hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern: Sir, why are you so sad? Zhao Xianwei said angrily: "This officer is so sad!"

He took a few breaths, then waved his hands and said: Stop talking nonsense, let the fart go. Uh yes, the old official gave him a strange look, and then said: Sir, this book is the fund account of the pig's head to untie the treasury. The amount of money is very large Another old official hurriedly expressed his merits and said: My lord, my subordinates found that pigs' heads often sell live goods in advance, and the customers come to redeem them again, but in the end they can only pay high prices for compensation.It's okay for such things to happen occasionally, but Zhutou Xieku not only made mistakes frequently, but also the amount of compensation was astonishingly high.After learning about the strangeness discovered by Zhang Shuli, his subordinates quickly estimated, and found that the work should be sold in advance, and then the customer came to redeem it, and the only thing that can only be compensated at a high price, the date of occurrence, and the amount of compensation are roughly the same as the same.It seems that Xu Muchen may have made false accounts to deceive the proprietor.

oh?Zhao Xianwei heard it, but he didn't care that his throat was burning and he still felt uncomfortable. He knew that he was an amateur in checking the accounts, so he didn't bother to read them. He directly ordered: "Go back immediately and sort out all the doubts in the entire account book. Hurry up, sort it out and hand it over to me immediately. The two old officials wanted to leave at the sound, Zhao Xianwei called them again, and said with a pleasant face: I am seconded to Bazhou to handle the case, all the clerks have always been very dedicated to me, I have always remembered it in my heart, it is really hard work you guys.

The two old officials were flattered and thanked repeatedly. County Captain Zhao took out a penny from his bosom and said, "Take this and buy a cup of tea."When the case is settled, I will hold a banquet to thank you all. At this time, the two old officials showed real smiles, bowed their hands again and again to thank them, and after a little humility, they took the money and left the room.The two happily returned to their office where they were running errands, and saw that Shuli Feng was bowing to King Cang in a solemn and solemn place. They couldn't help laughing and said: "Old Feng, how much money you have received from the county captain, and you are so happy that you are paying homage to King Cang!" .

Shuli Feng ignored them, he respectfully bowed three times to the small wooden niche in the middle of the wall, then turned around and said, "Close the door." When the two old officials saw his appearance, they couldn't help but looked at each other. They didn't dare to say anything, and immediately closed the door.Behind the door is the God of Yamen, and Feng Shuli is worshiping again. Cangwang is the legendary Cangjie who created characters, and Yashen is Xiao He, the Prime Minister of the early Han Dynasty.The job of the knife and pen officials is to use pens to make records, repeat documents, and calculate accounts. According to the rule of worshiping one god for each skill, it is natural to worship Cangjie.As for Xiao He, God of the Yamen, it was because Xiao He was originally a swordsman in a small county, and as a swordsman, he became the founding prime minister. In the eyes of the world's scribes, he was really a god-like figure, and he naturally had to worship him.

After he finished worshiping Cangwang and Yashen in a grand and solemn manner, the two old officials walked over in amazement and said: "Old Feng, it's not too early or noon. You are so solemn to worship Cangwang and Yashen. what does it mean? There are only three of them old officials in this room. Feng Shuli is the elder, and the other two are Li Qunzhou and Lin Shuyang, who are younger than him.I don’t know how many officials in this yamen have changed, and even Jiangshan has changed a few emperors to sit here, but these old officials are unshakable, and they have always been on the job here steadily. The errand servants in the yamen back then, and the senior subordinates today, they have been friends with each other for many years, so naturally they can talk about everything. Feng Shuli sat down behind his writing case, and while studying the ink, he said coldly: Although I haven't read the account books of Zhutou Jieku, most of them have impressions.You two old bastards have settled accounts for a lifetime, and I don't believe you can't even remember a little bit.But now you look, what is recorded in the account? Lin Zhiyang and Li Qunzhou looked at each other and fell silent. Feng Shuli said again: Don't you know whether the Liu family has benefited from the Ding family?Even we have taken advantage of the Ding family.But look at it now, Xu Muchen took over all the crimes in the account. From the account, he was the one who bribed the masters of Futai, and he was the one who lied to the Ding family and embezzled money. Let's deal with Xu Muchen. He has been dealing with him for half his life, what a powerful person he is, don't you know?With his heart, he seems like a master who is willing to be beaten for others?But we can see the problematic account book at a glance. Every time he comes back, he stares at it for a long time, and now he just signed it.This matter is evil!If it wasn't for the ghost's obsession, the old man really couldn't figure out why he did this. Having said that, he stopped grinding, looked around, lowered his voice and said furtively: I heard that the steward of the Ding family was originally a dull man, and everyone in the village called him dumb.But one day when he was about to die with a high fever, his soul suddenly came back. Since then, he has become wiser. People in Zhuangzi said that he was out of body and was enlightened by a fox fairy.Maybe, really maybe ah, this trip, let's handle it well, we have to be strict with our mouths, don't talk nonsense, don't talk nonsense, and do what the higher-ups tell us to do, seeing that we are just resigning our old age and returning home to make fun of our grandchildren Don't make a big somersault on this one at your age. Lin Zhiyang and Li Qunzhou couldn't help feeling uneasy when they heard this, Lin Zhiyang stood up nervously and said: "Old Feng is right.Come, come, come, let's also worship, Cangwang is the righteous god, and Xiaoshen is a noble person. Let's worship, and let the two respected gods bless you with the fairy spirit, so as not to be evil.
