"Uncle, the court seems to be checking some accounts recently. It has found out more than a dozen corrupt officials, and there are rumors outside. Should we also check the accounts in the shop?"
Lao Fang walked into the room from outside, looked at Li Yi and asked.
"No need." Li Yi lowered his head and was busy, waving his hands and said.
The accounts in the shop are checked by dedicated personnel every month. They have been taught how to check the accounts a long time ago. Maybe someone can take advantage of it, but it is unlikely that a larger amount will happen.
"This is not one of our own, I'm sure he has other thoughts." Lao Fang said still a little worried.
"Everything that should be checked has been checked. No matter how much we check, nothing will be found. On the contrary, it will make others think too much, which will do more harm than good." Li Yi looked up and said, "If it were you, would you be willing to be investigated all day long?
Will anyone check it?”
"Okay then." Lao Fang thought for a moment, and it made sense to say so. He felt uncomfortable being suspected of hiding private money by his mother-in-law all day long.
"If you are really greedy and someone comes to check you, what will you do?"
Lao Fang glanced at Li Yi and said, "Uncle, I didn't hide any private money. You can't say this nonsense."
"I didn't say you hid your private money to buy jewelry for Xiaohong." Li Yi waved his hand and said, "I mean, if you are the shopkeeper of a certain shop and you embezzle money, and someone comes to check you, what will you do?
"
"It depends on how greedy you are." Lao Fang thought for a while and said.
"A few thousand taels?"
"A few thousand taels?" Lao Fang curled his lips and said, "Can a few thousand taels be called greed?"
I almost forgot that this guy's current net worth cannot be measured by common sense, and asked again: "Hundreds of thousands taels?"
"Hundreds of thousands of taels..." Lao Fang looked at Li Yi and suddenly smiled.
"If hundreds of thousands taels were found out, would it be fatal? If it were me..."
There was a sinister smile on Lao Fang's face, and he slowly raised a hand and made a gesture of wiping his neck.

…
The magistrate of Chen County had all his property confiscated, his official position was removed, and he was thrown into prison. The magistrate of Qinghe County was treated the same as him. It was later found out that the two officials who had embezzled tens of thousands of taels of money would lose their heads.
His Majesty was furious in the Golden Palace just now. Prime Minister Qin and several ministers were scolded for their advice to stop checking the accounts. His Majesty's move directly showed that the checking of the accounts will not be stopped for a while.
This also indicates that many people will continue to be unlucky.
"Prime Minister Qin, what your Majesty is doing is absolutely inappropriate!" After the morning court, Prime Minister Qin walked out of the hall, and a middle-aged official followed him from behind and said anxiously.
"Putting out all the corrupt people in the court, we can't be so eager for quick success. If Your Majesty is so radical again, within half a month, the court will be in chaos!"
"Your Majesty has made up his mind, and no one can persuade him. Let's just watch." Qin Xiang waved his hand and walked forward slowly.
Watching Prime Minister Qin leave, a trace of undetectable gloom flashed across the middle-aged official's face. He walked out of the palace gate, got into a carriage, and whispered: "Check!"
There was a noise outside the carriage, and someone walked away slowly.
"Who is he? Find him right away. We can't let them continue to investigate!"
"Send people to Chen County, Wang County and Qinghe County to inquire..."
"Find a way to make them stop, even if necessary..."
The same gloomy voice also sounded in some places in Kyoto.

The Institute of Computer Science is different from places such as the Imperial College. It implements a semi-closed management, with five days of classes and two days of rest. During these five days, no student is allowed to leave the institute unless they have a mission.
Today is the long-awaited rest day. Students can go out freely, whether to visit relatives and friends or go to a brothel to relax. It is their freedom.
When Qin Feng stepped into the Qin family's door again, he finally felt a little proud.
"Young Master, please slow down."
Qin Yu walked out of the house, and several servants in green followed him, carefully reminding him.
Qin Yu glanced at Qin Feng, then looked away and passed him.
"waste!"
Qin Feng watched the eldest young man of the Qin family pass by him. When the others walked away, he whispered.
In the house, what he dislikes most is the eldest son of the Qin family, who is so notorious that he has almost brought the Qin family's face to shame. However, this person is the eldest son of the Qin family, and the Qin family will eventually make friends.
into the hands of this person.
Qin Feng gritted his teeth, secretly took a sip in a certain direction, and strode into the house.
"Feng'er is back. How is it at the college? I'm still used to the food and accommodation..." A middle-aged woman came out of the courtyard to greet him from a distance, grabbed his arm and asked repeatedly.
"I'm still used to food and accommodation." Qin Feng said with a smile, "Mom, let's go in and talk."
…
…
Ding Xingwang, the Prime Minister of Qin, has five sons, three of whom are officials in the court. The eldest son of Qin is considered to be the most likely person to succeed the Prime Minister of Qin, but because of a certain game in the court,
failed and was transferred away from the center of power. Now, although Prime Minister Qin is still supporting him, the decline of the Qin family has become apparent...
Today is the Qin Mansion’s once-a-month family banquet.
Although Qin Feng was qualified to participate in the family banquet, in the past, he could only sit in the corner. As for the topics at the banquet, it had nothing to do with him.
"Feng'er, I'm wondering how the college is going. I heard that your Dean Li is very powerful. How powerful is he?" A voice came from beside him. Qin Feng turned to look over, said a few perfunctory words, and then collected his thoughts.
Come back.
Sitting next to him is his fifth uncle. Although he is a generation older than him, his presence in the Qin family is not as good as his own because an incident two years ago made him lose face.
As a result, he became the laughingstock of Kyoto. Even the Qin family servants, who treated him respectfully on the surface, were probably laughing at him in their hearts.
Glancing at Qin Yu, who was sitting very close to the front, a gloomy look flashed through his eyes again.
At this moment, Qin Yan, the eldest son of Prime Minister Qin, said: "The School of Calculation is a good place. If you can successfully graduate from it, your future will be limitless. Qin Zhong... it's a pity."
Well aware of the importance of the College of Mathematics, the Qin family arranged for two people in the College of Mathematics, Qin Zhong and Qin Feng. However, Qin Zhong was expelled from the College of Mathematics on the first day of enrollment. The reasons given by the College of Mathematics were very sufficient.
Even the Qin family has nothing to say.
Qin Zhong lowered his head. At this time, it was better for him not to speak.
Qin Yan didn't seem to want to continue this topic. He thought of something and looked at Qin Feng and asked: "Feng'er, do you know who the calculation college is working with the censor to check the accounts?"
For an official of Qin Yan's level, he didn't pay much attention to the events of the past two days. He and the Qin family could not be found in the accounts, and he would not get into trouble with His Majesty at this time.
Just asked casually.
Qin Feng was thinking about how to reveal this matter. He wanted to see the shocked expressions on the faces of his uncles and grandfathers. He smiled and said, "I'm afraid that uncle will have to give more advice to Fang about this matter."
Uncle, Brother Fang has only been an official for two years, but his appearance is a bit ugly. If my nephew hadn't helped him hide it yesterday, my uncle might have heard his name in the court this morning."
The Uncle Fang he was talking about was a close friend of his uncle Qin Yan. If he hadn't raised his hand yesterday, Uncle Fang's son might not have had an easy time today.
After saying that, he looked at Qin Yan and several uncles with a smile, and even gave Qin Yu an obscure look. Although his words were a little more tactful, it was not difficult to guess that the storm that swept the entire Kyoto in the past two days.
Is it from their hands?
"What do you mean?" Qin Yan looked at him with a frown, as if he had thought of something, his face changed, and he asked: "Is it possible that you are one of the people who assisted Yushitai in checking the accounts?"
Seeing the "shocked" expressions on the faces of several uncles, including his father, Qin Yan felt extremely happy and nodded slightly.
"it's me."
…
…
"idiot!"
Qin Yu raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, glanced at Qin Feng, curled his lips and said.
The fifth master of the Qin family turned his head, looked at him twice, patted his shoulder, sighed, and turned to leave.
