On the second day, when it was dark outside and the star of enlightenment was still high in the sky, Zhu Pingan had already brought Liu Mu and Liu Dazhou to ride out of Marquis Linhuai’s mansion, heading straight to the Taicang Silver Vault.
This time, Zhu Pingan brought another day’s food in his diagonal backpack, and the two gourds hanging on his waist were filled with water. In addition to this, Zhu Ping An also wore a silk soft armour, this was in the morning, Li Shu insisted that Zhu Ping An put it on.
The silk armour was specially sent by Li Shu to ask his second brother for it a few days ago, and it was only sent to the capital yesterday by horseback from the south. In the morning, Li Shu insisted that Zhu Pingan put on this silk soft armour before letting Zhu Pingan out of the door.
This silk soft armour is not as magical as what is written in the novels, it just uses a special method to process silk, after dozens of procedures, making the silk both keep the softness and increase the toughness, and then through the handmade weaving and become, very light, wear it with no wear like, outsiders can not be seen, and in the summer, wear it, there is also the effect of summer cooling.
Relative to the gold silk soft armour, silk soft armour on the knife a class of swinging weapons effect to be a little worse, but also can effectively reduce the knife and sword chopping and cutting contact surface, reduce the damage, so that the general knife chopping sword this does not lead to fatal; In addition, relative to the gold silk soft armour, silk soft armour to guard against bow and arrow in the effect is outstanding.
Principle and Genghis Khan period, Mongolia cavalry often wear a silk clothes. The reason why the Mongolian soldiers all wear a silk dress, not to compare luxury, corruption and degradation, but the toughness of the silk, wearing silk clothes in order to protect themselves, if he was hit by an arrow, silk silk threads will be wrapped around the arrow, the arrow will be linked to the silk threads into the body, at this time only need to gently pull the silk threads can be pulled out of the arrow, effectively reducing the damage of the bow and arrow.
Liu Mu and Liu Dazhou are also the same bring their own food and drinking water, in addition to Liu Mu waist also hang with a sword, Liu Dazhou back a thick-backed machete, two people in the belt each inserted six or seven darts.
Two people yesterday listened to Zhu Pingan reminded, today will bring enough self-defence, all the way is very vigilant, on the way to protect Zhu Pingan in the middle of the hidden.
But fortunately, all the way is safe and sound, smooth Avenue Taicang.
Arrived in Taicang, the sky is just dawn, the morning sun is still brewing under the horizon.
Zhu Pingan alone into the Taicang, went straight to the room to check the accounts.
East factory people divided into two shifts, has been firmly outside the room, but did not think that Zhu Pingan so early to check the accounts, Zhu Pingan can not help but think highly of a few points.
Because the sky is not yet light, Zhu Pingan lit an oil lamp in the room, and checked the books with the light.
According to yesterday’s speed, today’s day plus tomorrow’s half day, about can finish checking the account book.
From the view of the account book, the further this goes, the more fake accounts and deficits in the account book, just take the first account book that Zhu Ping An checked today to see, this one has an average of nearly 200 taels of silver more fake accounts and deficits than the account book that was checked the day before.
It was only after Zhu Pingan had finished checking an account book that the morning sun erupted from the eastern sky.
Treading on the morning light, Zhang Guanku, Jia Langzhong and others came to Taicang early, a full hour earlier than usual, thinking to rush ahead of Zhu Pingan, stopping him at the door, and then talking to Zhu Pingan about Taicang’s “practices”.
“Your honour, inspector Zhu came to Taicang half an hour ago.”The treasury soldier on duty at the gate of Taicang Silver Treasury reported truthfully when asked by Zhang Guanku.
“Grass!”
Zhao Langzhong cursed fiercely at the words and flung the box of tea leaves he was carrying in his hand onto the ground with force.
The others also looked bad.
Zhang Guanku glanced at Zhao Langzhong and said with a sullen face, “If you have something to say behind closed doors, why are you playing crazy at the door!”
“I’m just angry, this surnamed Zhu even stomped on his nose.”
Zhao Langzhong shrunk his neck, muttered a sentence inside his mouth, but still honestly followed behind Zhang Guancu, heading towards Zhang Guancu’s office room in Taicang.
After arriving at Zhang Guan Ku’s office room, several people closed the door and started another round of “conspiracy discussion” against Zhu Ping An.
After discussing for a long time, there was no result.
However, although Zhu Pingan was suddenly so interested in checking the accounts, they still believed that “Ghost Hand Zhang” and other top accountants in the capital made the account books, Zhu Pingan could not possibly find out the problem.
Always timid and afraid of things, Liu Si Ku was also convinced by the crowd, he was worried about Zhu Pingan is not to find out the problem, more is the reason of his character, in the crowd cited Zhu Pingan will not abacus, checking the accounts of the drawing of toad and so on the facts of the irony, Liu Si Ku also believe that Zhu Pingan is impossible to find out the problem from the accounts.
Iron must be hard, Zhang tube library and instructed Jia Langzhong, Zhao Langzhong and other connections to prepare a generous gift to visit the Ministry of households and other key officials, to ease the relationship; and then made Zhang treasurer and others a carrot in one hand and a stick in the other hand, one by one, secretly take care of the treasury soldiers, the treasury, to understand the advantages and disadvantages, we are all on the same boat grasshopper, if any dare to mouth no door endangered everyone, then don’t blame everyone hurt him first.
The effect is outstanding, the Ministry of households and many other officials have secretly nodded; Taicang up and down also became a piece of iron, unanimous – Zhu Pingan, they are all from the Taicang this pot of rice to eat, the interests of the same, naturally, the group together to deal with Zhu Pingan this does not according to the “practiceThe interests are the same, so naturally they will join together to deal with Zhu Pingan, who is not acting according to the “usual practice”.
In Taicang people united thought, in Zhang Guanku and other people’s leadership of the will of the city, unanimous, Zhu Pingan has been in the full attention of the checking of accounts, in addition to the middle of the inexplicable sneezing a few, it can be said that two ears do not hear outside the window, only focus on checking the accounts in the hand.
Like yesterday, Zhu Pingan again checked the accounts until sunset, when the night was hazy, before he put away the account book and brush in his hand.
Behind him, there was only one box and one third of the account books left.
The speed was a little faster than expected, and the checking would be done early tomorrow morning.
Unlike yesterday, when Zhu Pingan went out of the courtyard, there was no more Zhang Guanku, Jia Langzhong and the others outside the courtyard.
Originally, I thought that they would pull themselves together again like yesterday, giving themselves a lecture on “practices”, but I didn’t expect them to give up so quickly. Well, very good, save yourself a day of checking the accounts, exhausted still have to fight the spirit to deal with them.
The moon sets, the sun rises, another day.
Like Zhu Ping An expected, early on the morning of the third day, Zhu Ping An rearranged all of Taicang’s books for the past three years using a double-entry ledger.
The false accounts and deficits were simply staggering! Far beyond Zhu Pingan’s imagination.
Shuo rats Shuo rats, pass away will go thou!
After checking the accounts, Zhu Pingan will be double-entry bookkeeping table and the final statistics are all close to hide, will Taicang nearly three years of account books are all handed over to the East Chamber blood drops sword and other people, by them escorted to the West Garden, sealing the file depository.
Waiting for Zhu Pingan and east long people left, Zhang pipe library and other people can not wait to enter the room to check the accounts.
The room was empty, and only a piece of rice paper was left on the table.
It was familiar and unfamiliar.
Familiar, because this rice paper they have seen, above the lotus leaf toad they remember, but also because of this lotus leaf ****, they privately mocked Zhu Pingan as the toad inspector.
Say unfamiliar because this rice paper, originally only one sentence “sitting alone in the pond like a tiger, under the shade of the tree to raise the spirit”, now this line below two more lines of poetry, the poem to complete the poem.
Seven Ancient Poems – Frogs
Sitting alone in the pond, like a tiger’s crouch, under the green shade tree I nourish my spirit.
When spring comes and I don’t speak first, which insect dares to make a sound.
“Spring comes and I don’t speak first, which insect dares to make a sound ……”Zhang Guancu silently read once, the whole person suddenly felt a cold back, as if a thorn across the heart.
Liu treasurer and other people read this poem is also a face can not help but change, the heart was shocked, how the toad can also be so domineering and heroic?
We said he was a toad inspector envoy, is he satirising us as worms?
Originally assured Liu treasurer, the heart is inexplicably hidden uneasy again.
