The world is heavy and late

Chapter 177
The emperor finally let Xu Zhong go down, and what Xu Zhong said was actually not unreasonable.

His notebook really still needs to be refined.

When Xu Zhong returned to Zhongshu Province, everyone was in the office.

Seeing Xu Zhong, he felt that he had a good relationship a few days ago and ran up to him and asked, "Brother Xu, do you want me to help you?"

Xu Zhong knew that he was looking for information, so he said: "Your Majesty didn't give any orders, but asked me about some things, so it's not easy to tell your lord, but I'm afraid your lord will know soon."

If Xu Zhong said it was nothing, everyone might still think that Xu Zhong liked to put on airs.

But now Xu Zhongming made it clear that it was hard to say, everyone was an official, so he naturally had a steelyard in his heart, so he didn't care too much.

However, someone still said: "Could it be related to the resignation of the Wang family some time ago?"

Xu Zhong's face was still expressionless, he was different from Xia Qing, he never liked to laugh, and everyone was getting familiar with him now.

Xu Zhong nodded and said, "It's something related, and His Majesty has not allowed it. Please forgive me, my lords."

Everyone expressed their understanding and dispersed.

Xu Zhongcai slowly returned to his seat, thinking that he had rejected two things in a row, feeling somewhat sad

Identity is a gap, and Xia Qing and himself can only hold on to each other desperately.

Xia Qing didn't have Xu Zhong's sadness during this time, but she was full of anger that was about to erupt.

Xiang Cang and Qiao Huan stood by and watched, Xia Qing looked at a ledger and threw one into the basket.

This is the account book that I intend to send back for redo.

Xia Qing took a deep breath and said: "It was stated earlier that I purchased 96 taels of ambergris, and after two months, I will send 15 taels to Zhongcui Palace, and after a few months, I will send 20 taels to Ganlu Hall, and then to Qinzheng Hall. 20 taels, but there are still 11 taels left when I buy next time.”

Xia Qing gritted her teeth and said, "If you measure how long it has been before and after, I won't be able to tell, right?"

She felt that these people didn't learn how to count well, but because they didn't learn etiquette well. She said hello in advance, and dared to use this method to deceive herself.

She picked up another account book and glanced at the contents, Xia Qing was so angry that she laughed back.

She said to the two people standing next to her: "I purchased more than 35 eggs today, a total of [-] taels. Well, seven cents an egg, does she also find it unbelievable that she didn't even remember the price of each egg. "

As she spoke, she turned a few pages back, Xia Qing's face became even more ugly, she took two deep breaths and said, "I don't think I eat eggs every day, why do they buy them every day?"

Qiao Huan still kept his head down, and said to Cang, "Auntie, don't be angry, beat these down and redo them."

Xia Qing sneered angrily. She stared at the piles of books on the desk, and said to Xiang Cang, "It's clear that I don't want to do a good job, but I just feel that the law does not blame the public."

After speaking, she threw the two books that she had kept beside her to Xiang Cang, and said, "This is the account of the Secretary of Rites, and there are restatements in it. It was recorded twice for a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet."

"Do you think those who are the chief of ceremonies will not be counted? Both the chief of ceremonies and the chief of ceremonies must be able to read and write. Even if they learned to read in the palace, they are divided into the chief of ceremonies. How can it be so obvious?" Hole?"

Xiang Cang also felt in his heart that these people were fooling too much, a trace of cruelty flashed in his heart, what's the need to live in the palace to fool the people above like this?
But he glanced at Xia Qing, who was sitting on it and was angry, and suppressed his thoughts.

Xia Qing didn't like to see blood.

He asked, "Auntie, how about this?"

Xia Qing closed his eyes, opened them after a long time and said, "Tomorrow, I will call the Secretary and Chief Manager of the Sixth Division. I want to ask if they don't read these accounts."

After she finished speaking, she opened her eyes again and said, "Especially the chief of affairs, the chief of ceremonies and the chief of ceremonies, please tell them well."

The last sentence seemed to be squeezed out of Xia Qing's teeth.

Xia Qing was very angry at their behavior of treating people like fools.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see it at a glance, but they still do it.

So the next day everyone saw that Aunt Xia, who was always smiling, had a serious complexion.

Xia Qing didn't want to pay attention to the people who gave her a half salute, but she still held back her anger and stood up to return the half salute.

Some people who were already depressed looked at Xia Qing's expression and became more and more uneasy.

Xia Qing glanced at Xiang Cang, and Xiang Cang sent someone outside to bring in some baskets.

Xia Qing glanced at the people standing below. The female officials formed a line headed by Hu Si, while the eunuchs left the front one empty, and Xu Li was also at the front.

She didn't speak, and it was quiet below.

Xia Qing walked to several baskets, opened an account book, glanced at the signature below, and asked, "Master of Ceremonies."

Xu Sizheng and the manager looked at each other, and then came out and said: "The next official is here."

Xia Qing directly threw the account books in their hands into their hands, took out the second one, threw it into their arms and said: "This basket is full of account books sent by your master of ceremonies, let's take a look at the books in your hands first. What's the problem."

Without waiting for them to ask again, Xia Qing turned around and said, "The two next to you, Si Li and Si Wu, should go and have a look too."

The person Xia Qing called was silent for a while, Xu Li was the first to come out, and the people who followed quickly followed.

Xia Qing just looked at them without saying a word, but casually picked up the account books in the basket on the other side, glanced at them and said, "Lou Sizheng."

Lou Sizheng nodded slightly, Xia Qing's face softened a little and said: "Sizheng's accounts are handled well, but there is a big shortage."

Lou Sizheng said: "Auntie also knows that the palace was too chaotic a few years ago, and the Secretary of Food and Beverage inevitably made some mistakes."

Xia Qing seemed to be smiling. Looking at the account book, Xia Qing definitely couldn't have just completed it in this short period of time, but... it can be regarded as eye-catching.

She said: "Where did the missing things go, can Si Zheng know?"

Lou Si said right away: "Two of them are in charge of purchasing with the Secretary of Food Affairs, one was dealt with by Master Xu before, and the other was picked out by Aunt Xia the year before last, and is now serving as an envoy in the Department of Food and Beverage. "

After finishing speaking, he glanced at the few people who were still flipping through the booklet with a smile and said: "Some of them are exposed through the cracks. I don't think my aunt really cares, so I didn't add the names of these people."

Xia Qing glanced at Lou Sizheng, who seemed to be aging, and thought that he had lived a long time, and he could see the wind direction in the palace more clearly.

In the past, the aristocratic family was powerful, so they didn't stand out even if they fished in troubled waters.

Now that the wind is heading towards Gu Weiyun, there is no need for anyone to worry about it.

She pulled the corners of her mouth and smiled, such a subordinate is actually not bad, as long as you can maintain the posture of a superior.

Hu Sizheng also secretly scolded Lou Sizheng, an old bastard in his heart, no wonder he was not in a hurry.

The investigation is so clear that it must have started to act early in the morning.

After living for so long, it is still so slippery.

Xia Qing glanced at the account book in his hand, put it in the basket and handed it back to Lou Sizheng, and said, "I will keep the one I bought earlier, and I will ask Sizheng to glue the rest of the book in the future. I always like to be flat and can't accommodate anything." Dew."

Lou Sizheng said in the same way as before: "Yes, Si Shansi has been using aunt's accounting method since the beginning of the first ten days."

Xia Qing looked at Lou Sizheng in amazement, why didn't he say that he could live in the palace for such a long time, and that he was still in the restaurant department all the time.

Si Shansi was disturbed a few times, but it rarely affected Lou Sizheng.

It seems that although she is a bit sleek and sophisticated, few people can be extremely caring and careful.

Xia Qing finally felt that she had discovered something that made her happy today, so she said, "Since that's the case, Si Zheng and the manager should go get busy first."

The two leaned slightly to say goodbye, Lou Sizheng turned his head and glanced at Hu Sizheng, who was still standing, and walked out slowly, feeling old again.

Xia Qing didn't care about the affairs of the third division next to him, followed them winking, flipped through the account books, and spoke in a low voice.

She walked over to get the account books of the other two companies, and opened the account books of the Department of Legal Affairs first.She took a look and said: "Si Lu Si is poor, but he also has his own way of making money. I don't care about these things, because the same is true when the army is fighting. It's not that I agree with this trip. Can Peng Sizheng and the general manager understand?"

Peng Sizheng and the manager replied yes, expressing their understanding.

Xia Qing said: "Si Lusi has always been Hu Sizheng, Hu Sizheng is fair and strict, and the account books are also extremely clean, but the account books should be more detailed, so as not to make any mistakes."

After the two agreed, Xia Qing also gave the account book to the two, and sent it back to them.

Peng Sizheng and the manager took a look at Hu Sizheng, and they also left.
