After one stick of incense, all five people came back, one person at a time.
In this way, Li Hui stood up and began to assign tasks to the seven people.
"Each of you should check these account books by yourself first. After confirming that there is no problem, I will verify it, and then contact Mr. Liu. Once one of the accounts is unclear, it is said that the "three fires of the new official" will be burned at that time.
Don't blame me for being merciless.
Also, from now on, you guys will ask for leave from me, whether sick leave or personal leave. Those who ask for sick leave must have a document written by the imperial physician. As long as the personal leave is reasonable, I will give it to you. But if you want to show off your power like this today, don’t tell me.
The official is messing with you."
Spoiling?!
All seven people were stunned, even Liu Berson was stunned.
Isn’t this word supposed to be used by women? Why does the dignified Minister of Household Affairs use it so naturally?
Although it was said that he was asked to "temporarily replace", everyone knew clearly that this position belonged to him.
Liu Berson could just hand over the things and leave, but now it seems that he can't leave. He might even be pushed out to start a fire. He has to think of a solution for himself.
After hearing Li Hui's operation, some people were happy for him, while others were angry after hearing it.
The old ladies of the Su and Gu families couldn't sit still and sent letters to the Li family one after another, but all they received were rejections. Since Cheng Xue sent Li Zhong away, Guo Dake and the others have been teaching their five daughters how to read every day.
, knowing medicine is just like practicing in seclusion, not going anywhere. In addition, the Li family does not need outsiders to deliver food, it is all provided by the village.
In this way, there is no way to meet him by chance.
At the last moment, Liu Berson finally took the lead in confessing on several problematic accounts.
Li Hui didn't give him any trouble when he saw him. Taking advantage of the fact that there were only two of them in the room, he whispered:
"I also want Mr. Liu to escape unscathed, but if these accounts are submitted, it will definitely not happen. Please give me some guidance, so I can find another way."
Liu Berson's Adam's apple twitched slightly and his face was filled with death. He finally understood. Li Hui himself also knew that these things could not be taken to the court now. After all, they were not strong enough to move them. But once he told what he knew, it would be a dead end.
One piece.
Seeing the smile on his face, Liu Berson let out a long sigh.
"Master Li, once this path is given to you, I will really be dead."
"In this case, Mr. Liu, there is no need to rush back to his hometown. Our court does not stipulate that you must leave Beijing immediately when you return home. You can stay longer, preferably until next year's martial arts exam."
Focusing on the "martial arts test", Liu Bosen suddenly became enlightened. After whispering a few words, Liu Bosen solemnly warned:
"...Master Li, you must be careful. The people there are by no means idle. It is said that there is a killer battalion from all over the world to patrol."
"Have Master Liu been there?"
"I'm not afraid of Mr. Li's jokes. I'm not qualified. Even Cui Shangshu has never been there."
"That's it. Thank you Mr. Liu. You can go back and rest. You don't have to come over tomorrow. I will take my time to look at these accounts. There is no rush."
Liu Berson laughed and called him an "old fox" and left the Ministry of Household Affairs without an official position.
Although there is still a gap in my heart, at least my life is saved, my family is saved, and my property is saved.
Next, Li Hui broke all the account books he was responsible for into parts, and took advantage of the clear table to recalculate and copy all the account books. This copying also meant that the previous confused accounts were completely confused, but when it came to Su
, all members of the Gu family were singled out by him.
After taking it home, she immediately found Cheng Xue, pointed to the above several allocations from Luoxia Town, and said:
"Do you still remember Luoxia Town?"
"Remember, the late empress opened a bathhouse over there that is similar to a steam room. Do you mean these places are related to the late empress?"
"Eight and nine are inseparable from ten." Li Hui told frankly.
Cheng Xue did not deny it after hearing this. He would investigate anyway and told her that he was just giving her a vaccination in advance and not to be confused again when the truth came out. Although she could not guess the true identity of the original person, one thing was certain.
, we are definitely related to the late Queen.
Of course, this is nonsense.
There were a lot of gatherings years ago, but Cheng Xue didn't go to any of them. Li Yue picked a few people with whom he had a good relationship and went there, and didn't show up at all the others.
On New Year's Eve this year, the Li family has more children than last year, including Li Heng, Li Yue and his wife, and Luo Zi. Li Huai and Li Tian cannot come back, but their things and letters from home are still intact.
After eating dumplings at midnight, Wen Tian took Li Heng and the roller and went to the yard to have fun. Li Yue and his wife went back to the yard to rest, and Yan Yixin drank too much.
In the main room, Cheng Xue leaned in Li Hui's arms and asked:
"With the opening of seals on the eighth day of the lunar month, are you going to be busy?"
Li Hui said "Hmm" and hugged her tightly, and then said after a while:
"If you're bored at home, how about you disguise yourself as a bell doctor? Ask Bai Wei and Cheng Xi to accompany you."
"No, I will be very busy after the new year and plan to open a women's health center. Zhu Xuan and Ran Hong are both interested, and Mrs. Zhou has also invested in it."
What she can do here is limited, but she will do her best to create value, at least not to be a woman with her palms up.
Li Hui heard her arrangement and rubbed her neck coquettishly.
"My wife is so capable, so my husband can just eat soft rice with confidence."
"Eat, I can support you. How long do you plan to stay at the Ministry of Household Affairs?"
"I really don't know. It depends on how long he wants me to stay. According to me, I want to leave now and go to the Ministry of War."
Only in front of her can he speak unscrupulously. God knows how much he suffered when he faced those demons and monsters from the Ministry of Finance years ago. They said that he was a bad mouth person behind his back, so why didn't he say that they themselves were annoying!
While the two were chatting, Tiandong hurried in, bowed his hands and said:
"Master, madam, the roasted tail sent from the palace has arrived."
"Are you sure you gave it to me?" Li Hui was puzzled.
To be fair, only second-rank officials and above are qualified, and he, a third-rank minister, has no chance at all.
Tiandong nodded heavily and said again:
"The Marquis of Zhenyuan sent it here personally. He is now in the front yard."
In the late evening, the Marquis came to deliver roasted tails, which was really like a weasel giving New Year greetings to a chicken.
Cheng Xue tugged on his sleeve uneasily, and Li Hui kissed her forehead without avoiding others.
"Be good, don't worry, I'll be back as soon as I go."
"He must have bad intentions. If he really said something, you must not be angry."
"Okay, I will listen to my wife." After Li Hui said that, he got up and went out.
Cheng Xue sat on the kang without moving for a long time, and finally picked up a medical book to stabilize her mood. But no matter how hard she forced herself, it was of no avail. She was flustered, upset, and restless, and it was difficult to suppress it.
She went to the ground to put on her shoes, walked to the dressing table and took out the jade pendant from the bottom of the box. She rubbed it while dazing, always feeling that the truth would be revealed in a short time. But she didn't know exactly when. She just hoped that it would be as late as possible...
