Jin Tang

Chapter 19
"I remember, raise the standard for your meals, and prepare fifty meat-stuffed Hubing, and put them in the compartment of your carriage tomorrow..." Master Liu said in a low voice.

"Very good, but this is just a small test." Wang Ba interrupted him, "It won't be long before you have time to think it over and decide who you will serve allegiance to, we will talk again."

Realizing that the conversation between Wang Ba and Master Liu was about to end, Mo Yang quickly dodged and hid in the shadows on the other side of the house.

In the dark night, Mo Yang watched as Wang Ba staggered away from the place.

But he still didn't make a sound. After all, there was Master Liu in that room. If he found him, the consequences would not be easy to bear.

The room was quiet for a long time, then there was a sudden click as if something had been broken.

Then it took a long time to hear the sound of Chef Liu stepping out of the room slowly.

He walked a certain distance with his body hunched over and his hands behind his back, and suddenly he turned around and stared at the dark sign in a daze.

This made Mo Yang, who was about to take action just now, his heart pounding, and he put his hands on the scissors in his arms.

Fortunately, Chef Liu just left in a daze for a while, and his figure disappeared at the corner outside the door.

Mo Yang waited patiently for a while, and then entered the back kitchen of the local shop.

Just now, according to what Wang Ba said, Chef Liu was greedy for the purchase funds of the kitchen. If this is the case, there must be discrepancies in the accounts.

Since the shopkeeper's room can no longer be entered, it is better to enter the back kitchen of the local shop to check. If he can grasp the evidence of Master Liu's corruption, it may come in handy at some point in the future, like Wang Ba, to blackmail him Master Liu used it for himself.

Taking advantage of the dim moonlight, Mo Yang walked in, and he came to the back kitchen first.Behind the place, there is a natural freezer with snow piles.

Mo Yang saw that there was a big bucket of kneaded noodles inside, and next to it was a basket of meat, some chopped and some whole.

The pink and white flesh also looks quite oozing in this dark night.

He took all the things out and checked them one by one, but found nothing special. They seemed to be the materials that normal kitchens would use, and no bones or other unusual things were found.

Mo Yang looked at the long counter where food was exchanged on weekdays, where the bowls, chopsticks, and drawers were all neatly packed, and there was nothing worth looking for.

He rubbed his chin, since the drinks and groceries behind the counter were sold to the drivers in charge, there must be records.

In the leftmost drawer of the counter, Mo Yang found the ledger.He squatted down, and with the help of the cover of the counter, lit the torch that he carried with him in his arms.

Recording the jumping flames, he began to look at the records in the ledger, which recorded the daily buying and selling information, as well as the quantity and price of the goods and materials.

Mo Yang is good at elementary school mathematics, and is more sensitive to numbers. After a rough scan of the ledger, he always felt something strange.

He thought of going to Zhihu when he was tired of practicing swords in his previous life, and saw a post called "Magic Mathematical Phenomenon".

He thought it was interesting, so he clicked in and found a "Benford's Law" inside.

This law says that in a bunch of data obtained from real life, the probability of occurrence of numbers with 1 as the first digit is about 1% of the total number, which is close to 9 times the expected value of 3/[-].

The larger the number, the lower the probability of the first few digits appearing. This law can be used to check whether various data are falsified.

And in his current account book, relatively large numbers such as seven, eight or nine appear frequently at the top, which obviously proves that this account book is tricky.

Mo Yang just wanted to tear off the account book, but suddenly stopped. Master Liu dared to put the account book here so openly, it should be because the account book he made has reached a balance on the surface, making it impossible for people to explore the inside of it .

Then, once he finds out that he has taken the ledger away, it would be to scare the snake away, so it is better to let the ledger stay here like this.

Mo Yang felt that he should go back soon, otherwise, once dawn, everyone would be suspicious if they found out that he arrived so early.

After all, these days.Unless you can get a special pass, you can legally walk on the street after sunset. Otherwise, if you go out in the middle of the night, you will be raped or stolen.

Following the route he came from, Mo Yang seized the time to run back.

If it is in Kyoto, after the sun goes down, the walls and gates of each residential area will be enclosed and closed together. Basically, if you want to sneak in, you can only rely on the wall.

But for Qidi, it is not so strict.

It does not have as many manpower as in Kyoto, and because of the famine, there are refugees everywhere, and it is impossible to control it.

Fortunately, the walls of these squares are not too high, and some places do not reach people's shoulders. Ordinary people can climb over them even if they work hard, and with Mo Yang's skill, it is even easier.

But there is one thing that needs his special attention, that is, don't use too much force when climbing the wall.

Because these walls are made of rammed earth, they are very easy to loosen due to wind, sun and rain. If he accidentally knocked down a large piece of soil and fell down with a splash, the movement might attract people around him. common people.

What's more, there are Wuhou shops on the corners of every square. These Wuhous will definitely come to watch when they hear the movement. Once they are caught, the wall will be climbed in vain. .

Relying on his agility, Mo Yang escaped the night ban patrol team.

Even though his movements were very fast, when Mo Yang returned to the ruined temple, the sky was almost dawn.

The eastern sky showed fish belly white.Gradually, the white of the fish belly turned into a light red, as if people had a blush on their faces after drinking a little wine.

At this time, he actually witnessed a very spectacular sight——the bells and drums of the whole city were announcing the dawn.

At five o'clock in the winter night, the first dawn drum sounded from King Qi's mansion, and the drum towers on the north-south streets followed one by one. The gates of the square are also opened one by one.

At the same time, all the temples and Taoist temples in the city will also ring the morning bells. The passionate drumming and the deep and distant bells are intertwined, awakening the whole city to welcome the morning sun gushing out from the eastern sky.

This scene is similar to the morning bell and evening drum in Mo Yang's memory of Kyoto.

He thought of what he had heard from the coachmen chatting before, Qidi did not have this policy, but when King Qi was in charge of Qidi, because he missed the prosperity of Kyoto too much, he followed the example of Kyoto to implement this policy .
