He thought for a while and then said: "A few days ago, Qian Yu also heard Xue Zongwu's Buqu scolding General Chongwu for being ignorant in front of Xue Zongwu. Xue Zongwu listened without saying a word while drinking. Something like this
, Qian Yu really knows a lot."
"The top is disgusted and the bottom is disgusted. It seems that Xue Zongwu does not like General Chongwu. However, what is the use of this information?"
"Let's go back to Jucheng first." He Lingchuan asked Qian Yu a lot of daily details this time. Sometimes the devil hides in the details, and it never hurts to have more information. You may need it at some point, "Xue
Two days after Zongwu sets out on the road, we will also set off for Yao Kingdom."
Then, his plan begins.
…
When he received the news from Shuangxi, Xue Zongwu was sweating profusely in the martial arts training ground.
When he heard that Qian Yu was robbed and killed, the muscles in his chest jumped twice.
When he heard that Shuangxi's accounting room was on fire and his account books were burned, he threw down the martial arts stone in his hand.
There was a bang, the ground trembled, and the two people on the opposite side also trembled.
This pair of martial arts stones is embedded with refined iron and is much heavier than ordinary large stones. A pair the size of a leather suitcase weighs more than 800 kilograms.
Xue Zongwu wanted to hold them flat and stay still for more than a quarter of an hour.
"Explain the cause and effect to me clearly!"
His personal guards brought Li County Cheng from Shuangxi over. The latter fell to his knees with a plop, not daring to raise his head at all.
As soon as General Xue became angry, Li Xian Cheng felt the power of a tiger in his face. The two sides were fighting, and he couldn't breathe even in such an empty martial arts training ground.
He stammered about the incident, and when Xue Zongwu asked questions, he was frightened to the point of trembling with fear. He could have explained it clearly in a quarter of an hour, but he was more than doubled in time.
Xue Zongwu's face became more and more gloomy the more he listened: "You told me that someone climbed over the wall and stole a few ledgers, and finally set a fire. As a result, Shuangxi couldn't calculate the loss?"
Li County Prime Minister was sweating: "Qian, the account books Mr. Qian made in the past few days have not been included in the accounting room, and he died suddenly. The county does not know which entries have been written off and which have not, so..."
So it was the period when the account books were most chaotic, and he happened to be caught by his opponent. "But, but Shuangxi's income and expenditure accounts in the past few years, half of them are gone."
"Was it burned or stolen?"
"This, this is..." Xue Shouwu stared blankly. Li Xian Cheng's lips trembled and he couldn't speak clearly, "No, no, no, no... I'm sure!"
Half of it is gone anyway.
"Where's the notebook that the other party dropped over the wall?"
Li Xiancheng quickly offered it with both hands.
Xue Zongwu took it over and looked through it, and found that it was full of accounts.
He was not good at this, and he turned over and over again without finding the way out, so he threw it aside and continued to ask questions. When Li County Cheng really had nothing to say, he ordered him to get out.
Of course, Xue Zongwu had received news that a powerful force appeared in the central and western part of the Golden Flash Plains. They wore black armor masks and only appeared late at night, specializing in killing evildoers. The common people respected them and even named the leader the "Nine Nether Emperor"
title.
Xue Zongwu only listened to this matter as a joke. Which general doesn't want to shock the world, so what's the point of covering his face?
As for Zhao Guangzhi, the ogre king of Luodian Kingdom who was defeated by the Black Armored Army, well, Xue Zongwu never took this humble man of the mountains seriously.
But Xue Zongwu didn't expect that he and the "Nine Nether Emperor" would suddenly have an intersection.
His admirer Tong Huan had already rushed over to listen. Xue Zongwu turned to him and asked: "What do you think?"
"The so-called 'Nine Nether Emperor' shows up with great pomp, so he can be regarded as a god by ordinary people. According to what Li County Cheng said, Shuangxi County doesn't even have a battle armor. He only wears night clothes, and his mask is also crudely made. Then
It’s very possible that he is trying to imitate a tiger and draw a cat to borrow Jiuyou’s name.”
"Furthermore, those who Jiuyou killed in the past were not strong men. How can they be compared with generals?" Tong Huan said this with a certain amount of arrogance, "Even he did not dare to step into the territory of Yao Kingdom. Although this man is pretending to be a ghost.
, but you should know clearly in your heart, who can be killed and who cannot be touched. I believe that the real Jiuyou dare not provoke the general."
Xue Zongwu nodded slowly: "I don't think this is genuine either. The question is, why did he steal the account book and who was he instructed to do it?"
Tong Huan whispered: "This person's technique is clumsy. I'm afraid he is trying to cover up his true purpose."
Xue Zongwu looked uncertainly and pressed his knuckles: "Do you think the same as me?"
He has a ridiculous idea.
"This..." Tong Huan changed the topic, "Can my subordinates take a look at that account book?"
Xue Zongwu threw the account book to him: "There is still more than half of the data in the clerical warehouse intact, but half of the income accounts of Shuangxi Gongdi in recent years have been burned. Hehe, the other party's attack is so precise, how could it be possible to 'accidentally' drop an account book?
"
So, this book was dropped to him on purpose?
What signal does the other party want to convey? I have your control?
"Could this person want to blackmail me and deal with me?" Xue Zongwu sneered, "What do you mean by burning half of the ledger? Big deal, I'll burn the other half too."
Everyone knows that if the accounts cannot be kept alive, there is one last trick:
Burn it all with a fire.
Commonly known as death without evidence.
If he burns all the remaining ledgers for the man in black, how can the other party threaten him?
Tong Huan kept flipping through the book and remained silent.
But his face became more and more serious.
Xue Zongwu waited for a long time, and finally couldn't help but said: "Why, is there something fishy?"
During the march, Tong Huan shared some of the money and food for him, so his abacus was very precise.
"This is an outline of the account book. It doesn't have detailed accounts, but it does have the total amount of each item."
Xue Zongwu could only understand the middle sentence: "So? What threat does this pose to me?"
"If you look through this kind of catalog, you will know the amount of revenue and expenditure of the territory, the incoming and outgoing payments, and the expenses." Tong Huan explained, "In previous years, when the royal court audited the military accounts, this kind of catalog was the first thing to look at.
.It stands to reason——”
"There should be no problems with the accounts Qian Yu has made." Qian Yu has managed everything on the surface very well. This is why Xue Zongwu has been using him for so many years. "You have many enemies. But no matter what
No matter who steals the account book, it will be of no use. Unless——"
Xue Zongwu has enemies all over the world. Even if there is indeed something fishy in these account books, whether they can be used against Xue Zongwu depends on whose hands they fall into. Not to mention the common people, even the princes and nobles holding the account books can do nothing to the prosperous Xue Zongwu.
Xue Zongwu.
Whoever dares to take them out will die!
Unless, this person has no fear of Xue Zongwu's power.
Xue Zongwu stroked his chin: "Think about it the other way around, if 'that person' really gets the ganglu account book, what can he do to me?"
"You sent Qian Yu to Shuangxi because Wang Ting will come over in ten days to audit the accounts."
