Chapter 422 Rotten Banana

Account books from all directions were sent to a small inn inn in Xiangyang Prefecture. The auditors brought by Qin Lei from Beijing became nervous and busy... These auditors were all from accountants, but they came from different industries. After being trained by Qin Lei himself, they became the backbone of the Audit Office of the Government Affairs Temple.

The huge royal government affairs temple has its roots spread to the entire Qin Dynasty and the major cities of Qi and Chu. The reason why it can maintain efficient and honest operation is inseparable from the fact that Qin Lei has a team of auditors that surpasses the times.

Now these audit elites are coming from the sky, facing the mountains of books, but they are not afraid of it. They first sort them out and then check them out one by one, and soon found the problem...

"Gazhou Prefecture concentrated on purchasing 200 plowing oxen from Ruitong Trading, which cost 10,000 taels of silver?" Only one accountant sneered: "A plowing ox costs up to ten taels of silver, why did it cost 8,000 taels more? Gaizhou Prefecture is really willing to be a sucker!"

"Yiling Mansion purchased 100,000 pieces of agricultural tools of various colors from Hegan Business, which cost 20,000 taels of silver? Why did we only see the distribution records of 10,000 pieces of agricultural tools, and there was no inventory record in the warehouse?" Another accountant said in a deep voice.

"The first year of the demolition of the State Administration rented a carriage, horse, cattle, horse, mule carriage, and 30,000 taels of silver were paid? Could it be that the carriage, horse, horse, and horse carriage were rented by red rabbits, and Laojun green cows?" The accountant was quite humorous.

More than a dozen accounts reviewed day and night and summarized the abnormal accounts, and finally came to a preliminary conclusion seven days later. Among the two periods of 4 million taels of silver allocated by Fuxing Yamen to the governments of the two provinces, more than 1.9 million were transferred out by the company through unequal transactions, and the destination was... Ruitong Trading Company, Hegan Trading Company and other dozens of shops. These more than a dozen shops are all under the Xu Family and Zhuo Family...

The problem is already obvious. The Xu family and Zhuo family embezzled the reconstruction money, and officials from the two provinces could not escape the relationship.

The eyes of the two provinces gathered at the small inn in Xiangyang City, and the deliberationists of the Fuxing Yamen rushed to Xiangyang from all directions, hoping to understand the progress of the matter as soon as possible.

When everyone thought the prince was about to make a big fight, he took the American boat to Xiangyang...

Xiangyang is a good place with a long history, splendid culture, magnificent mountains and rivers, and is well-connected. It has always been a treasure land that literati and poets love to linger. Naturally, it has left countless poems and praises. Among them, Wang Youcheng's "Looking at the Han River" is the most infectious, so-called:

The three Hunan areas of Chu are connected, and the nine schools of Jingmen are connected;

The river flows outside the world, and the scenery of the mountains is in the sky or the earth.

The counties float in front of the building, and the waves are shaking and the sky is shaking;

Xiangyang is a beautiful windy day, so I stay drunk with the mountain man.

It is worthy of being the best king of poetry and painting. In just forty words, it portrays the extraordinary, moving and seductive aspects of Xiangyang to the fullest, with endless artistic conception, just like a beautiful ink painting, which makes people move and fascinate when they are all thinking.

On a misty day, boating on the Han River always gives people the feeling of "the boat is sailing on the blue waves and people are swimming in the painting." Even if you have a lot of thoughts, you will be happy and forget your worries and leisurely.

The boat is the best carved beams and pleasure boat in Xiangyang, and the wine is the most precious jasper nectar in the world. There are all kinds of rare fruits and precious pastries, and a whole long table is set up. The wine is accompanied by the most famous red girls in Jiangbei, Xiao Lian and Yiyi.

Qin Lei leaned on the free chair made of red sandalwood, and his eyes were casually looking at the charming woman holding the pipa opposite him. The woman looked at Qin Lei with beautiful eyes, gently opened her red lips, and sang in a gentle voice:

The paintings are made of Xiangyang County, and I still see the travels in the past;

I think of stopping the horse when I look at the mountains, and remember the return of the boat when I see the Han River.

The elixir valleys always contain clear water, but the green forests do not change autumn;

The picture is empty and the sky is wide, and the meaning is endless.

Qin Lei listened to the little song with serene satisfaction, and there was a girl with a charming figure and a slender finger, carefully peeling the fiery red lychees for him.

After a lychee was peeled, she stretched out her slender white jade fingers, twisted the transparent flesh, and gently sent it to the prince's mouth. Qin Lei opened his mouth a little and then took the sweet and juicy lychee... and the girl's pair of Snow-shuang's little fingers into her mouth, causing the girl to let her soul-dispelling moan.

The girl holding the pipa opposite gently pressed the strings and said coquettishly: "The prince is really biased..."

Qin Lei laughed and said, "Xiao Lian's fingers are stained with lychee honey. Of course, the Gu Wang should be happy to help others. Yiyi should not be jealous." The girl named Xiao Lian snuggled beside Qin Lei, and also smiled at Yiyi as if she was demonstrating: "Who told me that I can't play the piano, I can only peel lychees..."

Qin Lei laughed proudly and said, "Then Yiyi should stop playing the pipa, change to another instrument to make fun of the Lone King."

Yiyi flashed a pair of dreamy eyes, and her delicate red lips moved slightly, "What musical instrument?"

"As the saying goes, 'There is where the jade man teaches the flute to play the flute on the moonlit night of the Twenty-Four Bridges', it can be seen that beautiful women will play the flute." Qin Lei stared at the girl's red lips with his eyes straight and laughed.

Yiyi's pair of big eyes that were seductive and scattered with water vapor, drooping down her pink neck and said, "I don't have a flute..."

"It doesn't matter. The Lone King has a handle. Yiyi might as well come over and taste it. Is it a good flute?"

This naturally caused Yiyi to be in a hurry, and Lian'er next to him understood and covered her mouth and giggled.

Qin Lei laughed unscrupulously. What he wanted was not the pleasure of lewdness in the day, but the pleasure of teasing Wuji, as if he had returned to the infinite spring when he lingered on the Yudai River in March and April last year.

The so-called mellow wine and delicacies, and the beauty surrounds her knees, is the enjoyment of life.

But there were always some inappropriate voices: "Your Highness, Mr. Xu is asking for a meeting." Shi Gan, who spoke, didn't even dare to come in, for fear that he would really see the prince's peerless flute.

"No..." Qin Lei groaned slightly annoyed, "I want to study musical instruments today, and let him go to the inn to see me tomorrow." The two girls next to him looked at each other, and Lian'er said softly: "I missed the prince's business, but I can't afford to be guilty." Na Yiyi also said softly: "Yes, prince, after finishing the business, I will give you... a flute, okay..."

Qin Lei smiled coldly and said, "No need." As he said that, he stared at the girl Yiyi expressionlessly and said, "Let's just blow it to your old man Xu."

Seeing that the prince suddenly changed his face, the two women hurriedly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy. Qin Lei also knew that the two singers were just entrusted by others and had no interest in making things difficult for them. He said in a deep voice: "What the Lone King hates the most among the thirty-six strategies is the beauty plan." He waved his hand and said, "Send the two ladies back."

Four black-clad guards came in, almost like dragging sacks, and took two red girls who had just smiled and were thrown out onto a small boat that followed the pleasure boat. Finally, they threw two bags of gold turtles over and said aloud: "This is what my prince admires you, leave quickly."

Xiao Lian and Yiyi were holding a bag of gold croakers, completely confused by the actions of the Southern King. They said he was merciful, but they turned against each other, and said he was ruthless and unrighteous, but they also gave gold generously. The two looked at each other for a long time, and then Xiao Lian sighed quietly: "But the prince thinks we are lobbyists?"

Na Yiyi smiled bitterly and said, "It's probably like this. I think this master didn't see our Jiangbei Shuangyan at all. Otherwise, how could he even..." As he said that, his jade face turned red, "Don't even blow the flute..."

Seeing her pretty look on her cheeks, Xiao Lian couldn't help but giggle, "It seems you really want to..." Yi Yi was told the main thing by her and said, "Yi Yi will not be able to..." Then she went to catch Xiao Lian. The girl laughed, but she didn't have any burden, because they saw that Mr. Xu had already boarded the pleasure boat.

How great is this, there are those on both sides. Sister, although she loves pretty, she loves money even more.

Although he said "See you," the fifth prince, who was very upset, still let someone put Xu Chang up... It is necessary to have a good conversation with this person.

When Xu Chang, Duke of Jing of the Great Qin, appeared tremblingly in the pleasure boat, Qin Lei was still sitting barefoot on the recliner, without any intention of getting up to greet him. So from this point of view, Qin Lei was actually a real person... When the warm veil was pulled away, he stopped talking nonsense like "The world is good and the world is bad" and "the person is fat and the person is thin".

Seeing that the person looked bad, Xu Chang quickly knelt down and kowtowed, and after trembling greetings, he bowed to the ground silently, and the room suddenly became quiet... Both of them knew each other's purpose and lost their patience in circles.

The atmosphere became more and more serious, and Xu Chang, who was still at a disadvantage, spoke first: "How can the prince let our Xu family go?"

Qin Lei peeled a yellow banana and handed it to Xu Chang. Xu Chang didn't know what he meant and hesitated without reaching out. When he wanted to pick it up, the prince had already let go, and the white banana meat fell on the carpet and fell into several pieces.

Looking at the banana covered with the fluff of the carpet, the blue veins on Xu Chang's forehead were pounding and his breathing became a little quick. But Qin Lei was unmoved and still looked at him expressionlessly, just the light cast from his eyes was cold and ruthless, as if he was staring at a poisonous snake staring at a field mouse.

Obviously, Xu Chang already understood what the prince meant... You didn't take the first chance I gave me, so if you want to survive, you should throw away all your dignity and completely bow down to your superiors.

Even ants are alive, let alone geniuses? Perhaps this is not a difficult choice for ordinary people. But he is the parent of the Xu family in Jiangbei... The Xu family, which has been known as the first in the south, has never completely surrendered to anyone.

On the one hand, it is the decent family, and on the other hand, it is a chance to survive. This choice is really too difficult. After a while of silence, Xu Chang whispered: "Please spare the Xu family this time for the sake of my two brothers. The Xu family is willing to be willing to serve the dogs and horses..." The so-called two brothers are Xu Xu, the marshal of the Eastern Army's South Road, and Xu Ji, the Duke of Su, who is in charge of the Shenwu Army.

Qin Lei smiled slightly after hearing this, and suddenly stretched out his foot, stepped on the banana in front of Xu Chang, and immediately turned it into a banana cake. This is not the most important thing, the most important thing is... he stepped on it barefoot.

After stepping on it, Qin Lei wiped his feet on Xu Chang's clothes and then slowly took them back.

His meaning is very obvious. If you don’t eat toast, you don’t eat wine, you can only eat the wine I poured to the ground.

When things got to this point, Xu Chang's mind became clear. He finally knew that the other party must make him surrender: if he surrendered, Xu Ji and Xu Xu would not dare to go against Qin Lei when they were afraid of being afraid.

If he doesn't accept it, there will be only one fate, and the Xu family will become history in the south from now on... Anyway, if he wants to break up, the other party will naturally take action first.

Thinking of Wen Yanbo's fate, Xu Chang found that he had no choice... This prince was cruel and unscrupulous. Since he could behead the prime minister of a country on his post, what is his short duke?

Facing a crazy gambler, Xu Chang finally wavered. Of course he knew that the other party would definitely be afraid of his two brothers, but he did not dare to bet with him that the Xu family had a thousand family members and had a foundation of more than a hundred years, so he could not afford to lose...

'Fortunately, he did not humiliate me in public...' Once he thought of this, Xu Chang's psychological defense suddenly collapsed and he no longer had the courage to confront Qin Lei.

He leaned down softly, tremblingly stretched out his excellent right hand with a jade ring and was well maintained, and picked up the banana cake on the ground... the rotten banana that was stepped on by Qin Lei with his feet.

When he held the banana cake in front of him, the husband's eyes were filled with tears. He came to the world with a golden spoon in his mouth and enjoyed glory and respect throughout his life. How could he have suffered such humiliation?

With the last trace of luck, he secretly glanced at the prince again, but saw that he was still like an iceberg, sitting there without saying a word, staring at him without blinking his eyes.

With a sigh in his heart, Xu Chang raised his hand and wanted to stuff the stepped banana into his mouth, but Qin Lei flew up and hit his right wrist. The banana in his hand naturally flew out.

Xu Chang still half raised his hand and looked at Qin Lei in surprise, but he finally smiled and said, "The so-called food on the plate is hard-working. The old man is too frugal and he still has to eat what falls to the ground. It really makes Xiao Wang feel ashamed." His smile was gentle and his voice was warm, which was absolutely different from what he had just now.

Qin Lei said, then stood up and helped Xu Chang up, pressed it on the seat aside, and brought a large basin of fruit, laughing and said, "You should eat this, and leave that thing for the disobedient bad guys to enjoy."

Xu Chang had been completely lost in his temper by rubbing it with his kneading and rubbing. He held the tray in his arms and said with awkward expression: "Prince..."

Qin Lei smiled and said, "Are you planning to be obedient?"

"I will always listen to the prince..." Xu Chang was about to kneel down again, but was stopped by Qin Lei. After he sat down again, Qin Lei said in a deep voice: "You are clear about the good things you did. I will ask you a few questions now. You must answer truthfully, otherwise..." He omitted the back and let the frightened Mr. Xu go.

Xu Chang nodded hurriedly, and then heard Qin Lei ask, "How much money have you greedy for?" He knew this roughly, and asked just to see if this old guy was telling the truth.

"We have swallowed nearly half of the funds allocated by the Fuxing Yamen." Seeing that the prince's expression did not change, Xu Chang continued to boldly say: "Our family has 800,000 taels and their family has 1.1 million taels."

"Their family? Whose family?" Qin Lei asked calmly.

"Zhuo Family." Mr. Xu is still very passionate about pulling a cushion into the water.

"Who are you mastermind?"

"them……"

"Hmm?" Qin Lei sneered and stretched out his foot to knock over the tray in his hand, shouting in a low voice: "If there is another time, you don't have to say anything." Do you think of him Qin Yutian as a fool? If it were the mastermind of the Zhuo family, how happy it would be to take it alone, why do you have to share the spoils with the Xu family?

Sure enough, Xu Chang was so scared that he shivered all over his body, and finally nodded and said, "It's our family..."

"Why do you do this?"
