The Tang Dynasty started from saving Empress Changsun

Chapter 197 Wu Shu Takes Power
Zhang Ruiguang had already brought the account book and waited for them. In addition, Yang Tianlu, Qiu Xingsi (both speaking), Jiang Zhuo (boss chef), Gong Xun (patrol officer), Cong Qi (zhike) and other managers were also present.

Just by looking at the situation, one can tell that something big is bound to happen today.

Seeing Chen Jingke, Yang Tianlu and others stepped forward to salute, as respectful as they wanted.

They are all people who joined Zixiao Temple at the beginning, and they are very clear about the status and character of this little real person, so they dare not neglect.

The face of the accountant at the side couldn't help but change. He joined later, and he didn't know much about the previous things.

I just heard that this little real person is not simple, but I have never seen it before.

Later, after being in contact with Chen Jingke for a long time, I felt that his name was not worthy of his name.In addition, he thought he was Sun Simiao's confidant, so he didn't think much of him.

The scene in front of him made him faintly feel bad, but he wasn't too worried.He firmly believed in his guess that Sun Simiao would not hand over power so easily.

As long as the viewer is not willing to hand over the power, his accountant will remain invincible.

On the other hand, I am very confident in my level of accounting, even if I change to an old accountant, I can't easily see it.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Sun Simiao stood up and said, "You all know what happened today, and I won't repeat it."

"In order to understand the right and wrong of the matter, I decided to conduct an inspection of all the accounts. Mr. Zhao, let me ask one last time, do you agree to the inspection?"

The accountant said affirmatively: "Please check the account with the master to prove my innocence."

Sun Simiao took a deep look at him, nodded and said, "Okay, let's investigate. Ke'er, you raised the question. How do you investigate?"

Chen Jingke pointed to the account book and said, "It's very simple, just copy all the accounts into the new-style account book."

"This new account book was created by an expert accountant for the old-fashioned bookkeeping method. No matter how clever the method of account making is, as long as there is a problem with the account book, it will be revealed after copying it."

The accountant sneered, thinking that Chen Jingke was deliberately scaring him.

Sun Simiao immediately said: "Okay, let's start transcribing, and everyone will stay for verification."

So Yihe and others disassembled the previous account books by month, and every three people were responsible for one copy.

One person is responsible for copying, another is responsible for checking calculations, and another is responsible for reviewing.

They are usually used to cooperating with each other, and now they are cooperating very smoothly.

Except that the speed is a little slow at the beginning, but the speed gradually increases after getting used to it, and the copying, checking, and accounting are completed in one go.

Zixiao Temple's current and expenditure accounts are not small, and it cannot be completed in a short while.

When the copying started, Chen Jingke asked people to bring tables, chairs and benches, and asked everyone to sit down and wait, and went to the study to fetch a medical book for Sun Simiao to read.

And he himself, sitting under Sun Simiao's head with a big horse and a golden knife, also took a copy of "Zhuangzi" and started to study.Wu Shu sat beside him obediently, holding a round fan and fanning him every now and then.

This kind of reckless behavior finally made the accountant realize that something was wrong.Especially the strange eyes of Yang Tianlu and others made him restless.

But it was too late to say anything, he could only pray that there would be no problems with the accounts.

Unfortunately, his expectations were doomed to fail.

In less than a cup of tea, Zhou Xiang raised her hand and said, "My lord, there is a mistake here. The accounts on March 410th are [-] Liuwen, which is not correct."

Hearing this sentence, Wu Shu's face was happy, and the matter was settled.

Yang Tianlu and the others glanced at each other, knowing that the matter was over, but no one spoke and were waiting for the final result.

Sun Simiao continued to flip through his book as if he didn't hear it.

Seeing that his master didn't speak, Chen Jingke knew what he meant, and said, "There's no need to report everywhere, just summarize it first, and report it together after the investigation is clear."

"Here." Zhou Xiang responded and rechecked the calculation.

The accountant's face was stiff, and the uncontrollable panic rose from the bottom of his heart.He remembered these figures very deeply, because this was the first time he had tampered with the accounts.

Afraid of people's doubts, he deliberately made things up and down.

I thought I was too experienced to be seen by others—in fact, it was indeed not discovered by the previous audit.

But how could it be found out so quickly this time?Is it true that, as he said, the new account books are designed for the old account books?

If so, it's all over.

He wanted to stop, but he knew better that as long as he made his own voice, he would be finished faster.The psychological qualities he had cultivated in the industry for decades allowed him to control himself.

A fluke, it must be a fluke.

However, no matter how strong his psychological quality is, it is impossible to be truly indifferent when he is pried open.

As time passed, he became more and more panicked, and the sweat on his forehead flowed down uncontrollably.

He didn't care about that much, so he just wiped it with his sleeves, and after a while, the two sleeves became like they were washed.

Seeing this, other people around naturally knew that there was a real problem, and it didn't seem too small.

Time passed, and after about an hour and a half the accounts were finally transcribed.

Yihe got up and reported: "The master, the real person, the accounts are checked."

Only then did Sun Simiao put down the book, and said calmly, "Let's talk."

"Here." Yihe picked up the statistics sheet, and said generously: "We found seventeen mistakes in the accounts of five months. It involved three pieces of cash of 34 yuan, nine pieces of coarse cloth, and one piece of silk and satin."

"Hiss." There was a sound of breathing, this is not a small amount of money.

Leaving aside the cash, the important thing is the silk.The silks and satins of Zixiao Temple are all high-quality brocades given by the palace, and they cannot be bought in the market at all. They were sold to Hu merchants in the West Market for a hundred cents.

How dare this person start with it?It's too bold to steal a horse.

Even Sun Simiao was surprised, looked at him and said, "Mr. Zhao, what do you have to say?"

The accountant shuddered violently, and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Slander, this is blatant slander, Lord, please make the decision for me."

Sun Simiao shook his head and said disappointedly: "Are you still unwilling to tell the truth? If so, there is nothing I can do."

Then he scanned the crowd again, and finally his eyes rested on Wu Shu, saying: "You did a good job, and I feel relieved to entrust you with the internal affairs of Zixiao Temple. Do it well."

Wu Shu said excitedly: "Thank you really..."

"Cough." Chen Jingke coughed dryly and gave her a wink.

Wu Shu blushed, and said in a low voice: "Thank you Master, I will definitely take care of the internal affairs for you."

Sun Simiao nodded in satisfaction, and said to the others: "Have you all heard that? From now on, cooperate with Shu'er to manage the internal affairs."

"Here." Everyone stood up and said respectfully.

Yihe and others who have a good relationship with Wu Shu are all happy for her.

Only the accountant slumped on the chair with a pale face.

Sun Simiao took one last look at him, sighed and said, "You guys can deal with the matter, don't bother me."

After speaking, he turned and returned to the inner hall.

But the accountant didn't dare to let him go just like that, and begged: "My Lord, please forgive me, My Lord, I won't dare again..."

Wu Shu sneered, and shouted: "Noisy, cover his mouth so as not to disturb Master Qingxiu."

"Here." Inspector Gong Xun responded, and personally led someone to restrain the accountant, and tore a piece of cloth from him and stuffed it into his own mouth.

Wu Shu asked Chen Jingke again: "My lord, the criminal slave has been captured, please show me how to deal with it."

Chen Jingke smiled and said: "You can deal with it. There is only one thing, we must follow the law. We are civilized people and cannot use lynching."

Wu Shu said: "Don't worry, I guarantee that everyone will find no fault."

Then she said to Gong Xun: "Put him down, make sure there is no problem, and deal with all the accounts after checking."

"Here." Gong Xun took him to the woodshed and locked him up.

After taking away the eyes-obscuring person, she gave a slight salute to the stewards, and said, "Because of the wrong love of Master and Daoist, I have been entrusted to take care of the inner affairs of the temple, and I am sincerely and terrified."

"Everyone is the mainstay of the elders in Guannei. I hope you can help me in the future. Let's handle the affairs of Guannei together so that the two real people can do big things with peace of mind."

Everyone hurriedly returned the salute and said in unison: "I would like to follow the lady's instruction."

Wu Shu nodded and said: "It's getting late, everyone, go get busy, let's talk about something tomorrow."

"Here." Everyone obeyed and filed away.

After all the outsiders left, Wu Shu smiled again, came to Yihe and the others, and said kindly: "Today is really thanks to everyone, I don't know what will happen without you."

"Miss, you're being polite. It's nothing to have a real person in a mere accountant." Zhou Xiang complimented.

"Yes, yes, real people are the most powerful." Everyone booed.

Yihe said with admiration: "My sister did a great job just now. The conductor cleaned up the accountant with a few words, and even convinced the stewards."

Wu Shu held her hand and said, "Don't be modest, my sister is also very impressed by how well organized Erya Courtyard can be."

Her attitude towards these people in Er Ya Lou was completely different from before, and she was very kind and approachable.Everyone who was still a little worried in their hearts was also relieved, and joked with him one after another.

After joking for a while, she took advantage of the situation and asked everyone to put aside the dictionary work temporarily and help her check the accounts.

Everyone agreed with their mouths, and they are the direct beneficiaries of Wu Shu's power, so they are naturally happy to see it.

After chatting for a while, and agreeing to go to check the accounts together tomorrow, the crowd dispersed.

Wu Shu breathed a sigh of relief, a smug smile appeared on his face.

"Good performance, this is the sister Wu in my mind." Chen Jingke said half seriously and half jokingly.

Wu Shu's reaction was beyond his expectation, he walked straight over and threw himself into his arms, wrapped his hands around his waist, put his face on his chest and murmured:
"Really, I am so happy, so happy."

Chen Jingke hugged her back and said, "I will be happier in the future."

"Cough cough." Just as the two were making love to each other, Sun Simiao's voice came from inside the room: "You two come here, I have something to tell you."
