"I'll leave it to you to take care of the accounts."
The two censors bowed their hands to the three young people in front of them and said with a smile.
Behind them, more than ten palace guards stood solemnly.
The three young men were all dressed as officials, with folding fans tied around their waists and looking high-spirited. It was just a square object hanging on the other side that looked a little weird.
"You two adults are very polite. This is what we should do." Cui Xixin smiled and said with the same hand.
One of the censors smiled and said: "Time is tight, let's talk as we go."
"Please!" Cui Xixin stretched out his hand.
Several people were ordered by the king to check the accounts. Cui Xixin and other eleven people worked in groups of three and were divided into four groups. At this time, the three of them were going to a suburban county near Kyoto.
Although this trip was headed by two censors, the identities of these three were not ordinary. The two censors did not dare to be too presumptuous. Moreover, Master Zhongcheng had already given instructions to give adequate treatment to the students of the School of Calculation.
of respect.
…
…
Chen County is a small county less than fifty miles away from the city of Kyoto. The distance is neither far nor close. Although it is not as wealthy as Jing County, it is still close to the capital. It cannot be said to be rich, but it cannot be said to be poor.
At this time, the county magistrate in Chen County's government office, wearing official uniform, kept pacing in the hall, with a look of anxiety on his face.
"They are coming today?" At a certain moment, he raised his head and asked.
A middle-aged man with a mustache came out and said: "Sir, according to the news from Beijing, this investigation started from several suburban counties near Beijing. Our Chen County is the first to bear the brunt. Today
Someone should be here soon."
Magistrate Zhao looked up at him and asked: "Master Ma, do you think this time is safe or not?"
Master Ma smiled and said, "Sir, don't worry. That man is a master of accounting, and his work is impeccable. Even the King of Heaven will not be able to find any omissions in the account books that pass through his hands."
Master Ma looked at him and asked, "Didn't you forget, sir, that a censor came to check the accounts years ago and stayed in the household for three days, but found nothing in the end?"
After hearing this, County Magistrate Zhao finally felt relieved and said, "That's right. Just relying on those useless censors to check our accounts is far from enough!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a government official came forward to report that the useless Censor of Kyoto was here.
"Two gentlemen, please, this county has been waiting for you for a long time." Magistrate Zhao came up to greet you with a smile on his face and said with cupped hands.
Although his official rank is higher than these two censors, since the other party comes from above, he naturally has to be polite.
One of the censors said: "I came to Chen County this time on the order of His Majesty to inspect the account books of various government offices. I also asked County Magistrate Zhao to cooperate."
"Cooperate, of course." County Magistrate Zhao smiled and said: "A few days ago, the Royal Censor came to check once, but since it is His Majesty's order, we naturally have to fulfill our duties. Two adults,
Come with me."
When Magistrate Zhao led the two censors to the household, he looked back at the three young men following him and asked in confusion: "Who are these three?"
"Students who came together to check the accounts." A censor explained.
County Magistrate Zhao nodded, but did not ask any more questions. He just felt that these three people looked weird, and there was a faint premonition in his heart.
"All the account books from last year are here." Magistrate Zhao took several people to the house and pointed to some thick books on the table.
He sneered in his heart, these things looked very big, and it was simply impossible to finish them in a short time.
Cui Xixin put down his abacus and said, "Please prepare some pens, ink, paper and inkstones, Magistrate Zhao."
"Okay." County Magistrate Zhao responded and said, "Master Ma, have you heard this? Why don't you hurry up and get ready..."
All the pens, inks, papers and inkstones were prepared. According to the rules, as a county magistrate, he had to avoid suspicion. County Magistrate Zhao said with a smile: "You guys will check slowly, I will go out first."
When he walked out of the door, he saw that the three strange people had spread out the white paper, crackled the square object with beads, and wrote something on the paper. After curling the corners of his mouth, he strode
walked out.
Walking to the yard, he glanced at the two rows of guards outside the door and said to the master: "Several adults have worked hard to check the accounts. Master, go to Chunxiang Tower to order a table of good food and wine and ask them to deliver it during the meal."
In the household room, hearing the crackling sound, the two censors looked at each other, picked up the tea cups and took a sip, walked over to take a look, and then walked back to take a sip of tea...
What an easy mission...
"On July 23rd, purchase five taels of rice paper." Cui Xixin glanced at the account book in his hand, then opened another one, compared it, and sneered: "One hundred taels."
"Five knives of rice paper and one hundred taels of rice paper. Could it be that the rice paper of the Zhao county magistrate's family is made of silver?"
He picked up a pen and wrote a few words on the paper. A young man opposite him also made some noise and said with a smile: "It's also here. The difference between the loan and the loan is too big. It's too naive to try to deceive the past with such a clumsy technique."
The two censors were stunned for a moment, then immediately put down their teacups, "So fast?"
"I also found two here." The last young man smiled and said, "If you work faster, you can go back earlier. I will treat you to dinner at Zuiyue Tower tonight."
"So good!"
The two of them smiled, and the crackling sound of their hands became louder.
…
…
Magistrate Zhao sat in the back hall for an hour, with a bad premonition lingering in his heart. In a state of annoyance, he walked to the front hall. As soon as he stepped out of the door, he saw the two censors and three other officials.
The young man walked out of the house. After being stunned for a moment, he immediately greeted him with a smile.
In an hour, I'm afraid I can't even finish half of the account books. So, this time checking the account books is actually just a walk through the process?
It seemed that his worry was in vain. The smile on his face became even brighter. He stepped forward and said, "I think you are tired of checking the accounts. I have just made a banquet for you. You may as well eat before leaving."
Otherwise, it would be a case of neglect on my part.”
The censor looked at him coldly and said, "Take it down!"
While Magistrate Zhao was stunned in place, two guards were already holding his shoulders.
Magistrate Zhao immediately shouted: "What are you doing!"
"What are you doing?" The censor sneered, threw a few pieces of paper in his face, and said, "What a Zhao Bin. In one year, seven thousand taels of silver have been so greedy for you!"
When County Magistrate Zhao heard this, his body shook violently. When his eyes glanced at the paper on the ground, the expression on his face was extremely frightened, and then he immediately turned pale...
"I would like to thank three more people today." A censor bowed his hands to Cui Xixin and the others and said, "When we return to Kyoto, the two of us will definitely thank the three of them in front of His Majesty!"
"Thank you very much, sir."
Cui Xixin smiled and held his hands, and a smile appeared on the faces of the two people behind him.
Then Li Yi really didn't use any conspiracy and gave them such credit for nothing. Could it be that he was showing his favor to them and His Highness the King of Shu?
…
…
"Dream on you!"
Lao Fang is really crazy. He thinks that if he masters the method of turning some sand into glass, he will be able to smash mountains of gold and silver one by one, even if he wants to build a palace. Little does he know that rare things are more valuable, and there are more of them.
It is no longer valuable, so I can only make a huge profit at the beginning...
Lao Fang's dream was ruthlessly shattered. When he turned around, he saw Tsundere Loli sitting at the door looking at him. Li Yi walked over, looked at her and asked, "Why do you keep looking at me these days?"
"If you don't look at me, how do you know I'm looking at you?"
The tsundere loli glanced at her, humming a tune, leaving him with an extremely cool back view.
Li Yi stared blankly in a certain direction until her figure disappeared, then he slowly withdrew his gaze.
Is twelve years old the dividing line between a lolita and a girl?
The tsundere loli who has just turned twelve seems to be becoming more and more feminine...
[ps: I still owe the fourth update. I am proud of the fifth update, and it is not a waste of money - this time it is really a waste. I am handicapped in typing. School is about to start and I want to pay back the updates quickly. I have basically been in front of the computer these two days.
After sitting all day, I even wrote until eleven o'clock today, feeling dizzy...
I have to go to school tomorrow, and I still owe the fourth update. I will definitely finish it before next month, so please let me take my time... Also, please give me a monthly pass!]
