Datang Happy Landlord

Chapter 584;
Chapter 580;

After a night of nothing to say, Lady Liu got up the next day after eating breakfast and went out of the backyard. A third-class maid came to greet her;

"Report to the chief steward, the chief steward of the Lin family has been waiting in the side hall for a long time."

"Oh? But Lin Wudi is here?"

"Exactly."

"This gentleman of the Lin family is a capable person. He was given the nickname Iron Spear King. He was full of energy when he was in his prime. The gentleman sent a password the day before and accepted his only daughter as a concubine. This Lin Wudi's status immediately Noble by three points.

Although he is the second son of the head of the Lin family, he is also a good material to be the head of the family. A Niang was gossiping with me a few days ago, saying that Mr. Lang has already spoken, and when there is a son in the future, this Lin Wudi He is the head of the family, so we can't neglect him. "

"No. I don't dare to neglect my wife's words. First, tea is served, and then four delicate meat dishes are served. It's not too long since I just finished my breakfast."

"Go, follow me to meet guests."

"promise."

Mrs. Liu came into the first side hall in the front yard with a smile;
"Boss Lin came so early, the slave family is very polite."

Lin Wudi didn't dare to neglect Mrs. Liu's favorite little girl, Lin Wudi stood up as soon as Mrs. Liu entered the door;

"Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it, a certain family has returned the courtesy."

"Mr. Lin, please sit high."

"Thank you, my lady please."

"Please."

Lin Wudi spoke without waiting for Lady Liu to open her mouth;
"Today I don't know where my lady is going to start the investigation, but I can tell you one or two, someone has arranged for someone to go with me. The patriarch has ordered me to assist the chief steward, so please don't be polite, my lady, but if you need it, just ask."

"Your Majesty is too polite. The errands between the two of us will naturally be discussed. As a woman, I may sometimes have some unsatisfactory things. Please remind me in time. In short, if you do the errands well, you can't make others laugh. Our two errands were not done fairly, or not done well."

Lin Wudi nodded and was not polite;

"I got it, my lady dealt with it last night in a snappy and extremely fair way, and it was very humane and not inappropriate to let Liu Da's family go, so it's inconvenient for a certain family to say more.

If there is something unresolved, the lady asks, a certain family will know everything, and will help the lady to run the errands well, and will never let others find fault. "

"Dashan, thank you Mr. Lin Jialang for taking care of me. With you sitting here, I feel much more at ease."

"Don't dare!"

"Let's not go out of the mansion today. We checked the two big winemaking workshops yesterday. Today we will start from this mansion, and we will not miss any place. Here, Mr. Lin Jialang is invited to sit in the main hall of the front yard."

"good."

"My lord, please."

"My lady please."

The two of them brought a group of servants to the main hall in the front yard of Li's Second Household and sat at the head. Li Zhong, the chief steward of the front yard, had already been waiting for a long time, and only after letting the two of them in did they salute each other. Today Li Zhong The principal was in charge of the entire mansion, cooperating with Lin and Liu to investigate the case, so he was busy without touching the ground, so he finally stopped and sat in the East Wing to talk with the two of them;

"So that the two chief stewards can learn that, except for those people taken away by the Patriarch, all the rest of the mansion are in the mansion. It is up to the two of you to decide where to start."

Lin Wudi didn't speak but looked at Mrs. Liu, who nodded in thanks before speaking;
"It starts in the kitchen, so let's start with the kitchen."

Li Zhong nodded and agreed;

"Okay, come here!"

"people at!"

Li Zhong, who is in charge of the front yard of the mansion, is also majestic in arranging affairs;

"First ask the accountant to bring all the accounts of each kitchen for the past three years to the main hall. Today, three pairs of six sides, every account must be carefully checked from the beginning, no one will be wronged and no one will be spared, and no one will be mentioned today. Clan members with the same surname don’t care about status.”

"only!"

The servants bent down and agreed to go out immediately. After a while, outsiders began to move dozens of account books into the main hall, divided them into three kitchens and put them away, and started from right to left from the year and month. Looking at the surface of the books, they knew clearly , Lin Wudi and Liu Niangzi also admire Li Zhong's methods. No wonder he has been the front yard steward for many years, and it seems that he is not a vegetarian.

Lady Liu waved her hand, and the maid immediately sang,

"Please ask the accountants on both sides to come in and check."

The servants shouted out layer by layer, and two teams of accountants, Mrs. Liu's side and Lin's side, walked in unhurriedly;
"Meet the three chief stewards."

"Exemption."

"All free."

"Thank you three big stewards."

Lin Wudi explained the clansmen he brought;

"Sixth Uncle, Ninth Uncle, Eleventh Uncle, Sixteenth Uncle, let's compare them carefully, don't relax."

"Don't worry about the boss, you will never mess around."

"Great!"

Lady Liu also ordered the four old men arranged by her side;

"The elders are exhausted."

"It's okay, lady, you don't need to say too much, I won't relax when I know the severity."

"Okay, everyone, please sit down."

The eight old men sat energetically on the two tables of the Eight Immortals prepared in advance, and started book by book. Four of the eight old men pointed to the books line by line to check, and the remaining four old account books were arranged. The abacus is next to it, and it is the kind of magical thing with upper and lower floors newly created by the owner. As long as an account book is reviewed over there and handed over, the four old accountants here will each count twice, and their fingers will fly up and down to count the beads. The rattling sound is crisp and sweet.

The three chief stewards were all sitting and drinking tea, quietly looking at the two Eight Immortals tables in the middle of the main hall. They all have faces that they like.

Yes!No one wants to create a bunch of bad rules. This time, the Patriarch said to check the accounts for three years. Wasn't it the time when the previous Patriarch was seriously ill three years ago?

Seeing that all the books on the first year have been moved to the right for someone to take them away, there is obviously no problem, and the rest are from last year and half of this year.

The three chief stewards were thinking about their own thoughts, and suddenly the voice of the abacus stopped, and the three chief stewards looked over at the same time.

Moreover, the eight old accountants on both sides worked independently, and they were divided into two groups to discuss in low voices. In the end, the eight people exchanged opinions again. , the sound of a slap on the table has also increased several times;
"Several old brothers, don't forget it, what else do you need to count? This looks very wrong, look here and here...

In less than two months, more than 300 catties of sesame oil were actually used. Who is fooled by this?
At that time, Lang Jun had just returned from a fall in the Qinling Mountains and was recuperating for less than two months. Although iron pan cooking began to appear, the lighted vegetable oil was mainly used. Lang Jun explained that this kind of sesame oil was used for cold dishes. Very little, how could it be possible to use up more than 300 catties in more than a month?This is simply nonsense! "

The old accountant of the Lin family is still in good health regardless of his age, and his voice is loud and plausible. This is not over yet, and he points to another book;
"Old brothers, take a look at this place. I saw several awkward places. The amount of money spent is clearly written in the account book, but I'm sorry in the record. Although there are a lot of meat for the owner's guard gate , but it is obviously different from the expenditure, let’s calculate it carefully, the one just now is no problem, after Mr. Lang got out the iron pan to cook, there were several mistakes in the ledger and notes in the kitchen, let’s take last year For the second half of the year, carefully check it twice, let’s not talk about this year’s, or the eight of us will not be able to handle it until tomorrow.”

"to make."

"Then listen to the sixth brother of the Lin family."

"Brother, what you said is correct, but not all of the books are wrong. The two books that my ninth brother and I read just now have nothing wrong with it."

"If there is nothing wrong, put it on the other side. Let's sort out the second half of last year first, put the wrong ones on the left, and then carefully check the correct ones, and then take them out. Let's carefully check the rest of the mistakes. That's it."

"Okay, let's do it."

Listening to the eight old men talking, the three chief stewards all looked at each other and nodded. Sure enough, it was in line with what everyone guessed. The bad rules started with cooking in an iron pot. Mr. Lang is generous. , reward this and that at every turn, it was during that time that some people became tempted, couldn't hold back their desires and started messing around!

The eight old accountants were busy until [-]:[-] p.m. before they stopped. They were obviously exhausted, so Mrs. Liu ordered her servants directly;
"Come on!"

"people at."

"From the time the accountant leaves the table to the end of the lunch, there are four guards on each side, and no one is allowed to approach the two table."

"only!"

"Elders, please, the kitchen has been informed an hour ago, and three tables of food are prepared in the wing room. Let's go and use the food and then count the pros and cons."

"good."

"Great goodness."

"Everyone please."

"Three big stewards, please."

A group of people left the main hall and went to eat in the side room. During the whole meal, eight old men swearing while eating;
"Hmph! The clansmen are lawless now."

"Isn't it? I haven't seen such a bold guy in hundreds of years of searching."

"What a good life, you can't live it well, insist on breaking the rules, you are really unworthy of your descendants, you are unworthy of your descendants!"

"That's right, it's not easy to get an errand. It's been passed down in the family for dozens of generations, and it's going to disappear right now."

"Hey! It's these people who are to blame. I looked at the number, and there are several people who have exceeded [-]. This time, they haven't had any serious incidents for hundreds of years. I'm afraid many of them will have to be executed."

"Brother Six, don't feel sorry for them. It's a good job. If you have to mess around, who can you blame? Just say me. I succeeded Aye when I was 19 and became the accountant of our Lin family. I haven't missed a day. Everywhere, I can withstand investigations, I am not afraid of any investigations, and I can sleep well when I am good at it.”

"Hey, I said Lin Lao Liu, which of the old guys in our generation didn't live like this? It's true that I haven't wasted a lot of money in my life. Look at the children now, the new clothes issued by the house are thrown away immediately. Old and old, it’s just a prodigal kid’s thing, wearing new clothes every day, I don’t like it, so I can’t save it? I’m so mad.”

"Alas...it has changed a lot, brother, especially after Mr. Lang got this and that, there are new businesses everywhere. Now our second wife of the Li family is very powerful and has become a big trend, so the children of the next generation are all Began to be arrogant and ignorant!"

"It's true that having more money is a good thing. Your husband is indeed capable of reaching the sky, but we have to live our lives according to our duties, don't we? How could there be such dirty things in the past? Checking the kitchen can find a bunch of unclean things. Yes, it really makes no sense!"

"Forget it, let's eat quickly, and I will go back to reconcile the accounts later. The patriarch said this time that he will check from the beginning to the end, and he probably wants to clean it up. I don't believe it, and everyone follows the family rules. Let's see who dares to be bold in the future!"

A group of old men were swearing and eating and discussing. The three chief executives sat at a table, and they all didn't say a word, they just listened and didn't speak, but they already had a solid foundation in their hearts.

A group of people came back to sit in the main hall after eating lunch, and the eight old accountants began to carefully check and check the six accounts that were selected out to be wrong. Auditing of the accounts of the three kitchens of Li's second bedroom over the past three years.

The sixth child of the Lin family was the oldest, and everyone elected him to speak out;
"Reporting to the three senior stewards, it has been found out that these six volumes, two records, and the remaining four volumes are reconciled, but there is a big discrepancy between the two sides, and the accounts are even more inaccurate. Mouth, I waited for eight people to carefully review it three times, and speculated again. I am afraid that no less than five hundred coins have disappeared, and something is wrong, including the second steward in the kitchen, the steward of the Wang family, and the Ding family. A second steward, plus their apprentices, there should be a total of six or seven names that have problems, and the three chief stewards can ask relevant people to come in and ask questions to confirm the truth."

Lin Wudi looked at Mrs. Liu and shook her head in silence, and then Mrs. Liu spoke;
"Sixth Uncle, which clansmen do you think should be passed in? Do you have details?"

"Yes, we have carefully analyzed and recorded all the relevant people. There are a total of 37 people involved who can testify or question. The list is written here. Please look over it."

"Okay, I'm sorry, elders, and please go back to rest. If you can still do business tomorrow, elders, please come to the mansion again."

"Don't worry, the three chief stewards. We are still in good health, and the patriarch will arrange for us to retreat. We will not work with money every month. We old men will not let it go. If the chief stewards send us , don’t forget to come and find some of us who are old and immortal, and they must work carefully and handle errands carefully, and there will never be any mistakes.”

Mrs. Liu stood up with a smile, and Lin Wudi and Li Zhong hurriedly stood up to see off the guests. These eight were all elders from several surnames of Lin Liuliang, and they were all elders. , They all got up and smiled.

Miss Liu smiled and said;
"Look at what you said, Uncle Six, I don't dare to bother the elders everywhere, Mr. Lang has explained it several times, and he made it very clear that the old people who have retired have to enjoy life, and don't let them be disturbed easily!
This time I invite all the elders to come here, which is my aunt's intention. If there is a bad rule in our family, the lord ordered a thorough investigation, so I went back to ask my aunt. My aunt said that the eight of you are all Be careful of the old man for a lifetime, you can use it with peace of mind, the boy just invited Mr. Lin to come forward to invite him! "

After Mrs. Liu said these words, the eight old men raised their heads proudly and were very proud of their lifetime fame;

"Hahahahaha, that's true, we eight old guys, when your mother is in charge, that's the most reassuring thing!

In those years when she was in charge, she was worried about her accounts. For decades, the eight of us came out to handle the last check. You don’t believe me, the older generation in our clan will know it clearly if you just ask anyone. "

This time even Lin Wudi laughed and spoke, this is Lin Wudi's relative sixth uncle, of course Lin Wudi also had to say a few words;
"Believe it, I believe it. Sixth Uncle, you have been Aye's right-hand man all your life, a master of accounting, and I know it best in my heart."

"Okay, okay, the errands are done, we old guys go out for a stroll, I know you are still busy, so hurry up."

"Okay, I'm here to see you off, old gentlemen."

"No need, no need."

Lin Laoliu who had just walked to the door suddenly turned around and looked at Lin Wudi;
"Jiro!"

"Uncle Six, tell me."

"Among the six or seven bad rules, we are looking at at least three guys who should be executed according to the clan rules. You have to be aware of it, and don't make it difficult for the clansmen to look down on it."

Lin Wudi said calmly;
"Uncles, don't worry, Uncle Six, don't worry, no one will be let go, but Mr. Lang also has a message, as long as it's not a heinous crime, try not to harm your family this time, so..."

"So what? So just let them do whatever they want? In the past, this kind of family thief wanted to execute their family, young and old, and they didn't have any sympathy!

Back then, when the chief steward was in charge of the inner house, he also executed two clansmen. At that time, the two of them had only a few dozen pennies of money, but they were executed by the chief steward. Today, they are all hundreds of pens and hundreds of pens. With such an astonishing number of people, is it necessary to save the lives of their family, young and old? "

As soon as Lin Lao Liu opened his mouth, other old men beside him began to answer;

"That's right, what brother said is right, the daring bastard dared to move hundreds of pens. When he committed these crimes, he should know the end. Killing his family is also the family rule of my second wife Li. "

"That's right, according to me, if young people nowadays don't deal with them severely, they will be lawless!"

"It's their own fault to execute them, young and old. I don't think they can shock people unless they are cruel. Brother Six, don't you think so? Brothers, what do you think!"

"Third Brother Liang is so right, it doesn't matter what it is now!"

The three big stewards are not good at answering casually. The group of elders are talking about family rules and family laws, and there is nothing wrong with it, but Mr. Lang specially sent a letter to write clearly, saying what human rights are and so on. , The disaster is not as good as the family, if you can not leave the family, try to keep the whole family as far as possible, how should you say this?

According to the family rules, hundreds of lives should be involved in the Li family's second family this time, but according to the Patriarch's account, there are a lot of old people in the Li family's second family, and it's hard to fool around...

Mrs. Liu could only come over with a smiling face to help Lin Liulu, who is well-known in the Lin family;
"Sixth Uncle, don't worry, didn't I kill Liu Erlang's wife and children last night? Of course, the heinous crime cannot be forgiven."

"This errand is over, I won't ask you to be in charge, girl, you did a good job last night, and some of us went to visit your mother this morning. It's very pleasant to mention what happened last night.
He, Liu Erlang, actually ate a bear's heart and a leopard dared to commit crimes, and wanted to assassinate the chief manager, who would he kill if he didn't kill him?It's still Liu Shiba who has separated his family. If he doesn't separate his family, even his husband and wife will have to be executed!

Now the clansmen don't follow the rules and don't pay attention to the etiquette everywhere, so they should tidy up well. If they don't do it cruelly, they will think that the family laws and regulations of Li's second wife are the ears of the deaf. "

"Liu Niangzi supported Lin Laoliu all the way and responded casually;

"What you said is right, but we also need to encourage you, Mr. Lang. He is not yet a man. If he kills so much, he may hurt Tianhe. Uncle Liu, do you guys think it makes sense?"

"Hehe sixth brother, isn't that right, the patriarch hasn't grown up yet!"

"Oh, you see, I'm too old and confused, I forgot about this, isn't it, the patriarch is only 16 years old at the end of the year, so it's really not suitable for mass killing!

Forget it, forget it, the next generation will worry about it anyway, let's report it in the chief steward's room, and leave it to them here. "

Lady Liu responded with a smile;
"You guys, take it easy, Aniang told me last night that you guys are going to have a good get-together with your uncles today after you're busy, and that you want to have a few glasses of wine, but I don't know if the uncles can still drink? "

Several old men were immediately unconvinced after hearing this, and all of them began to show off how powerful and prestige they were when they were young, which made Mrs. Liu giggle, and sent a group of white-haired old men to the middle of the front yard, He also arranged for people to take care of it and send it to his old lady's house before returning.

Mrs. Liu also knew in her heart that in the hearts of these old men, her old lady was the orthodox manager of the inner house, and she would definitely return to her life after taking over the errands.
