Chapter 266 Anti-indirect tactics instigate the county government one
Wu Yong sat on the carriage, turned a few streets, and finally stopped slowly. Wu Yong sat in the carriage and waited patiently according to Shi Jin's plan. He brought the account books in front of him and said this casually. After flipping through the account and analyzing it one by one, he couldn't help but be surprised. Although Wu Yong knew that the casino was a den for selling money, he really didn't expect that the Jinbao Casino's one-day income could be The number was staggering, but as he looked at the complicated accounts, Wu Yong couldn't help but his eyes lit up. He felt happy and became even more convinced by Shi Jin.
Sure enough, as Shi Jin expected, the Zang family's account book was tampered with. It seemed that this account book was just an internal account, and there should be an external account. And the difference between the external account and the internal account was This is where the Zang family can fool the government and extract profits. However, now that Shi Jin has seen through it, it has become the trigger for the Chao family to bring down the Zang family. At this moment, it is not this that Wu Yong admires Shi Jin for. One move, but Shi Jin's sharp eyes could figure out the opponent's background in so many encounters. This kind of insight is really beyond the reach of others, and in Wu Yong's opinion, such an ability, It will be of great use in the future.
Just when Wu Yong was flipping through the accounts, not long after, Chao Gai came over quickly and opened the curtain of the carriage and horse. When Wu Yong saw that it was the second owner, he immediately and quickly left the Jinbao Gambling House. I took the account book to Chao Gai, opened a few pages and pointed out the flaw in the Zang family's accounts directly.
Chao Gai smiled inwardly as he looked at it. He had been a little worried on the way here, but now he felt relieved. Chao Gai tucked the account under his arm and headed towards the Yamen with confidence.
[Yuncheng County·Yamen]
Chao Gai handed in a greeting card at the yamen gate, and soon there was a reply, saying that Mr. Wu was busy with official duties, so he first invited the second boss to sit in the study room of the side hall to wait, so Chao Gai followed the yamen servants and came. In the study room of the side hall, everything is the same as before. It's just that at that time, the eldest brother Chao Jidao was still alive, but now, he, Chao Gai, is the only one to face the things that their brothers hate the most. hypocritical face.
"Hey, Mr. Chao's family is busy with official duties, so the county didn't leave for a while, keeping you waiting for a long time," Magistrate Wu said as he welcomed Chao Gai into his seat with a smile.
Although he was still in the side hall study from last time, this time the county magistrate did not let Chao Gai sit down. Instead, he gave up his seat to the side of him and bowed his head. Chao Gai also cupped his hands and said politely: "My lord, magistrate." It is also a blessing for the people of Yuncheng County to take care of everything." After saying this, the two of them laughed and took their seats.
Seeing that Chao Gai's attitude was different from before, County Magistrate Wu was in a good mood. He raised his hand and said to the people below: "Come here, serve tea." Not long after he finished speaking, a maid came to serve him and offered two products of fragrant tea.
Magistrate Wu looked at Chao Gai with a smile and said, "If I guess correctly, Chao Dong's family came here because of the public grain matter."
Chao Gai pretended to be surprised and admired, shook his head slightly in disbelief and said: "My lord, how did you know that?"
When Magistrate Wu saw Chao Gai's admiration, he felt even more proud. He picked up the cup and took a sip, and then slowly said: "Brother, your style is very sharp. Compared with him, your Chao Gai's style is very sharp." Your temperament is more stable and you can assess the situation. Therefore, you will take the overall situation into consideration and will never make things difficult for the county. You say yes or no."
At this point, Chao Gai laughed again with Magistrate Wu. After laughing for a while, Chao Gai took up the conversation and said: "It's rare for the magistrate to understand me so well. I, Chao Gai, can't bear the account of the 47,000 den of public food." Gai admits it,"
Master Wu was immediately happy when he heard this. To be honest, he had never thought about it at all. Chao Gai would accept this huge amount of public grain tasks, so he praised: "Speak quickly, good. Good, good,”
Chao Gai was also happy with Mr. Wu, and continued: "When my brother refused to admit his debt, he didn't come because of you. It wasn't because he didn't give you face, or because he was angry with Zang Hanzhong."
Master Wu sighed deeply when he heard this, as if he was very sorry, and said: "There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and this county is also in a difficult situation. I have been bringing your two families together, and they are really well-intentioned."
When Chao Gai heard this, he put down his tea cup, changed his face, and said with a serious expression in his smile: "Master Wu, Master Wu, I think you may not really want our two families to shake hands and make peace, right?" ,"
When these words reached County Magistrate Wu's ears, he felt as if his whole body was suddenly burned. He couldn't help but trembled. He froze for a moment and said with a straight face: "What do you mean?"
When Chao Gai saw that Magistrate Wu was getting anxious, he couldn't help but laugh and said: "Master Wu, look, the Zang family and the Chao family are fighting each other, and they are all vying to come to you to tell each other's faults. Everyone wants you to do a little favor and open a back door. You are like a parent. Our two families are just children. Only in this way can you show your importance."
After saying this, Mr. Wu and Chao Gai looked at each other and immediately understood the meaning of the words, and they couldn't help laughing.
Mr. Wu smiled and pointed at Chao Gai and said, "You really have a brain."
"I dare not show off in front of adults,"
Mr. Wu smiled and said: "Although Zang Hanzhong is a cunning guy, he knows that the county's official work and salary are tight, but he wholeheartedly helps him."
Chao Gai couldn't help but smile after hearing this, stood up and said, "Master Wu, if you look at it like this, I won't be able to come up with 47,000 days of public grain for a while, but my Chao family will break the wheat into silver to pay for it. As for the silver, I need ten days and a half to prepare it. However, I will send 5,000 guan of cash to my house first, and I will deliver it at fifty-three tomorrow."
Mr. Wu couldn't believe his ears. He slapped the table and stood up happily and said: "How heroic, heroic, hahaha." Mr. Wu rubbed his hands and walked around the court twice. He was still very happy. He paused He paused and opened and closed his mouth from ear to ear and said: "As the saying goes, courtesy reciprocates, Mr. Chao, don't worry, I won't let you spend your money in vain."
"It's just a small matter, the Chao family handles affairs, it's not like some people are sneaking around," Chao Gai said here, paused, looked at Mr. Wu, and said seriously: "My Lord County Magistrate, there are some things that you still have to do. You have to be more careful..."
County Magistrate Wu heard that Chao Gai's tone was not quite right, and his smile slowly faded, and he said: "There is something in his words... It's okay, you can just say it."
Chao Gai looked at Magistrate Wu and smiled, saying: "Then... I'll just say a few words."
The county magistrate smiled and nodded, signaling Chao Gai to continue speaking with confidence.
"You just said that Zang Hanzhong is devoted to you, the county magistrate, but as the saying goes, 'The wool comes from the sheep.' Do you know how rich the gambling den is?" Chao Gai looked at the county magistrate.
The county magistrate was a little dumbfounded. He shook his head slightly and said with a rather embarrassed smile: "I only know how to be an official. There is a saying about 'every row and mountain'. I just want to listen to Chao Dong's family today." Talk about it." At this point, the county magistrate suddenly stopped talking, because he seemed to understand the meaning of Shi Jin's words in his heart, so he said: "However, I don't think Zang Hanzhong dared to hide it from me and take another one privately. "Okay," he said with great reluctance, because after all, the county magistrate could not trust either of the two families.
When Magistrate Wu heard this tone of his voice, Chao Gai smiled and said, "That's not necessarily true," and then gave Magistrate Wu a meaningful look.
Magistrate Wu felt a little frightened when Chao Gai saw him. It felt like everyone in the county, old and young, knew that even if he was kept in the dark, Magistrate Wu felt unhappy and couldn't help but become more and more concerned about the fishy things inside. He got up, but although Magistrate Wu had no idea, he was unwilling to be a fool who was played by others. He still pretended to be in control of the overall situation and said: "Chao Dongjia, do you think I can just rely on his two words? Will believe him,"
When Chao Gai came, Shi Jin had already expected that Magistrate Wu would say this, and had already prepared countermeasures. Chao Gai watched Magistrate Wu follow his path step by step, and felt uncontrollable joy in his heart, saying: " Of course you can read the accounts, but the account books can also lie..."
What Chao Gai said was even more mysterious and profound. Magistrate Wu suddenly felt on pins and needles, and the last bit of self-comfort he had in his heart suddenly disappeared. He stared at his eyes, half-opened his mouth, and sighed. He couldn't say anything, and he had an indescribable feeling in his heart, as if someone had slapped him hard in the face.
When Chao Gai saw that the fire was coming, he took out the account book of the Zang family's Jinbao Gambling House from his arms and spread it on the square table between the two of them. Chao Gai smiled and opened a few pages at random, reading them one by one. The tricky bits were picked out.
Mr. Wu himself is a layman in gambling houses, but he can still understand the accounts. Now with Chao Gai on hand to explain, in a short time, Magistrate Wu can roughly understand the accounting in gambling houses. One or two, and at this moment, Magistrate Wu clearly saw the flaws in the accounts. Only then did Magistrate Wu realize that it was not this book that Zang Hanzhong showed him, but the fake accounts from outside the magistrate. , Magistrate Wu counted the missing money with his fingers, and he couldn't help but feel angry.
Chao Gai felt that Mr. Wu was not angry enough, so he followed what Shi Jin had taught him before and told Magistrate Wu: "This gambling house can't be opened for more than three days. The business of the gambling house is booming now." The account book I show you every day is a different one. Although the loss of 30% of the money is nothing, but since Zang Hanzhong has the intention to satisfy you at the moment, how can he let you go? In the eyes of the past, even if it is like this now, what will happen in the future, I am afraid only the devil knows,"
Master Wu was told by Chao Gai, and most of his thoughts immediately clicked...
