The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 1929 The Truth of the Ledger
"This is a big deal for the bank." Xuan Shijing said: "This can be careless? I think the money in the bank's treasury is almost all sent from the Wang family, right?"

"No, no, no." The treasurer of the bank wiped the sweat from his forehead: "There are also other places, and there are other places."

"Oh, that's it." Xuan Shijing replied while flipping through the ledger: "That's right, how much money is there in the bank's treasury now?"

"I really don't know the exact amount. It's all recorded in the back of the account book." Accompanied by the manager of the bank, he looked at the account book on the top of the box, took it out, and wanted to pass it to Xuanshi Jing.

Xuan Shijing didn't pick it up, and was still flipping through the ledger between the Wang family and the bank in his hand.

"Are you the manager of the bank?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"Small, yes." The manager of the bank replied, he was a little confused about Xuan Shijing's intention of asking this question, didn't he change his name and surname to work as a clerk in the bank a few days ago?He has been taking care of the bank all the time, and he has seen it with his own eyes. Why do you ask this question?He is the only one in charge of the bank, no one else.

"Just because you said you didn't know these three words just now, I can deal with you on behalf of the court." Xuan Shijing said flatly: "A manager of a bank, who is in charge of things, just let you In charge of the affairs of the bank, you don't even know how much money is in the bank's treasury, and you can't even tell the specific amount, so what's the use of being in charge? You don't know. What about the people below tampering with the ledger? After you read the final amount in the ledger, it can be matched with the money in the treasury, but what if it doesn’t match the record in the ledger?”

"Damn the small ones, damn the small ones, Lord please spare me, it's the small incompetence, the small negligence." The steward of the bank knelt on the ground and kowtowed to Xuan Shijing continuously.

What Xuan Shijing said just now is reasonable, and it is indeed the fault of the manager of the bank. If Xuan Shijing wants to kill him, this reason is enough, let alone Xuan Shijing can kill him. As far as his business affairs of the bank manager are spread to Chang'an, he will still have to die if an edict from above comes down.

"Want to survive?" Xuan Shijing raised his head and looked at the bank manager and asked.

"I think." The manager of the bank nodded like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Then do I still need to read these ledgers?" Xuan Shijing glanced at the ledgers in the box.

He knew that the ledgers in this box were just things he and Wang Gui jointly used to fool him. Where are the real ledgers?The Baiqisi people didn't figure it out either.

Originally, the people in Baiqisi had seen the real ledger, but they did not show it. Later, after the Zheng family incident happened, the people in Baiqisi never saw the real ledger again. I searched all over the state and city, but I couldn't find where the ledger was.

Xuan Shijing guessed by himself that the person in charge of the real account book should know where it is. After all, he handles all the affairs of the bank.

But there is another guess, that is, the person in charge knows where the account book is, but the person in charge cannot reach out to the account book. Like the bank in Luoyang, it is actually controlled by the aristocratic family behind the scenes. Judging from the way the Wang family handles the bank's affairs now, the stewards of the bank are simply not worth mentioning in front of the Wang family.

"Don't the father-in-law of this country look at the account books?" asked the manager of the bank.

Xuan Shijing nodded, looking at the expression on the manager of the bank, he knew it in his heart, probably this person in front of him was going to follow the Wang family all the way to the dark.

When Xuan Shijing was still working as a clerk in the bank, Wang Gui had already gotten angry with the manager of the bank, and the manager of the bank also knew that he could only survive if he was tied to the Wang family. As for the Duke of Qi in front of him, It's a trivial matter, if you really want to pursue it, it's at most that you don't do your job well, and you can't stay in the bank in the future, but your life is still alive.

But if he was found out to be in collusion with the Wang family and shorted the bank, and the charges were confirmed, he would not be able to live.

Which is more important, the manager of the bank can still weigh it clearly.

It seems that he can't be fooled.

Xuan Shijing lowered her eyes, got up and bent down to pick up the ledger on the ground, and opened it to read.

He knew that the Wang family had sent a lot of money a few days ago, but he didn't know the exact amount. Now the money is still safely lying in the money bank of the bank, and a warehouse has been piled up, which is full.

But just like this, Xuan Shijing also had the ability to deal with them.

As Jin Yang said to Xuan Shijing before returning to Chang'an, the Wang family is nothing more than playing a trick to fool them first, and then when they leave, Dengzhou will return to the past In this case, their royal family didn't lose anything. In the end, it was the treasury's money that was in short supply.

If this is the case, then just use their idea to force out their flaws.

"Looks like it's really a lot of money. The money in the treasury is more than what I saw in the bank that day." Xuan Shijing said: "Well, you take the key to the treasury and take me with you." Go look inside the warehouse."

"My lord, this"

"Why, is there something wrong?" Xuan Shijing asked.

"My lord, the place where the treasury is important, this."

"I came to check the account books of the bank according to His Majesty's order, so I said that in this bank, where can I go?" Xuan Shijing asked: "You are so hesitant, could it be that there is something shady? That’s right, the people from the Wang family sent the money to the bank two days ago. I’m afraid it’s not to make up for the shortfall of the bank before? I have already handled the matter of the Luoyang bank. Your Majesty?"

"I don't dare." The manager of the bank said tremblingly: "The villain will take the Duke to the treasury. Please wait a moment, the Duke."

The Gao brothers standing behind Xuan Shijing looked at the shopkeeper of the bank, as if they were going to kill someone. If there was no deterrence, did they really think Xuan Shijing was easy to talk to?
After Wang Gui learned that Xuan Shijing had appeared in Dengzhou, he was a little relieved. After all, after knowing his whereabouts, he could send someone to inquire more. To put it bluntly, he was monitoring Xuan Shijing. Watching Xuan Shijing's every move, once there is any news, they can prepare in advance.

But I never expected that Xuan Shijing would go to the bank to be an ordinary guy before his whereabouts were revealed.
