Zhang Ruiguang had already brought the account books and was waiting for them. In addition, Yang Tianlu, Qiu Xingsi (Dudu), Jiang Zhuo (Duchu), Gong Xun (Inspector), Congqi (Zhike) and other stewards were also present.
Just by looking at the formation, you know that something big is bound to happen today.
Seeing Chen Jingke, Yang Tianlu and others all stepped forward to salute, as respectfully as they could.
They were all the people who joined Zixiao Temple in the first place. They knew the status and character of this young master very well and did not dare to neglect him.
The face of the accountant on the side couldn't help but change. He joined later and didn't know much about what happened before.
I just heard that this little real person is not simple, but I have never seen it.
Later, after being in contact with Chen Jingke for a long time, I felt that his reputation was not worthy of his reputation. In addition, he thought he was Sun Simiao's confidant, so he didn't think much of him.
The scene before him made him feel vaguely uncomfortable, but he was not too worried. He firmly believed in his guess that Sun Simiao would not hand over power so easily.
As long as the owner is unwilling to hand over power, his accountant will be in an invincible position.
On the other hand, I am very confident in my accounting skills. Even if I switch to an old accountant, I can't easily see it.
Seeing everyone gathered, Sun Simiao stood up and said, "You all know what happened today, and I won't repeat it again."
"In order to understand the merits of the matter, I decided to conduct a verification of all accounts. Mr. Zhao, let me ask one last time, do you agree to audit the accounts?"
Mr. Accountant affirmed: "Please check the accounts and prove my innocence."
Sun Simiao looked at him deeply, nodded and said, "Okay, let's check it out. Ke'er, you asked the question, how do you want to check it out?"
Chen Jingke pointed to the account book and said: "It's very simple, just copy all the accounts into the new account book."
"This new account book was created by the accounting master in response to the old accounting method. No matter how clever the accounting method is, as long as there are problems with the accounts, they will be exposed after copying them."
The accountant sneered, thinking that Chen Jingke was deliberately trying to scare him.
Sun Simiao immediately said: "Okay, let's start copying. Everyone will stay for identification."
So Yihe and others broke down the previous account books by month, and every three people were responsible for one.
One person is responsible for copying, another person is responsible for checking, and yet another person is responsible for reviewing.
They were used to cooperating with each other, and their cooperation was very smooth now.
Except that the speed was a bit slow at first when I was unfamiliar with it, it gradually accelerated after I got used to it, and I could complete copying, checking, and calculation in one go.
Zixiaoguan's current expenditure accounts are quite large and cannot be completed in a short time.
When the copying started, Chen Jingke asked people to bring in tables, chairs and benches, asked everyone to sit down and wait, and then went to the study to get a medical book for Sun Simiao to read.
And he himself, sitting under Sun Simiao with a big horse and golden sword, also took a copy of "Zhuangzi" and began to study it. Wu Shu sat next to him obediently, holding a round fan and fanning him every time.
wind.
This fearless behavior finally made the accountant realize that something was wrong. Especially the strange looks from Yang Tianlu and others made him restless.
But it was too late to say anything at this point. He could only pray that no problems would be found in the accounts.
It's a pity that his expectations are destined to be disappointed.
In less than a cup of tea, Zhou Xiang raised his hand and said: "Sir, there is an error here. The account on March 17th is 416 yuan off."
Upon hearing this, Wu Shu's face lit up with joy, it was done.
Yang Tianlu and others looked at each other and knew that the matter was over, but no one spoke as they were waiting for the final result.
Sun Simiao seemed to have not heard anything and continued to flip through his book.
When Chen Jingke saw that his master didn't say anything, he knew what he meant and said: "There is no need to report everywhere. Let's summarize it first and report it together when we find out everything."
"Here." Zhou Xiang responded and started checking again.
The accountant's face was stiff, and uncontrollable panic rose in his heart. He remembered these figures too deeply, because this was the first time he had tampered with the accounts.
I was afraid that people would suspect me, so I deliberately made it full and complete.
I thought I was so experienced that no one would notice it - in fact, I had not been discovered in previous audits.
But how could it be discovered so quickly this time? Is it true, as he said, that the new account books were designed for the old account books?
If that's the case, then everything is over.
He wanted to shout stop, but he knew better that if he spoke out, he would be finished faster. The psychological quality he had developed over decades of working in the industry allowed him to control himself.
A fluke, it must be a fluke.
However, no matter how strong his psychological quality is, he cannot truly remain indifferent when being pried open.
As time passed, he became more and more panicked, and the sweat on his forehead flowed uncontrollably.
He didn't care so much and just wiped it with his sleeves. After a while, his two sleeves looked like they were washed.
When other people around him saw this, they naturally knew that there was something wrong, and it looked quite big.
Time passed, and after about an hour and a half, the accounts were finally copied.
Yihe stood up and reported: "Master, the real person, the accounts have been checked."
Sun Simiao then put down the book and said calmly: "Tell me."
"Here." Yihe picked up the statistical table and said calmly: "In the five months of accounts, we found seventeen errors, involving thirty-four taels, seven hundred and twenty-three coins, nine pieces of coarse cloth, and one piece of silk and satin.
match."
"Hiss." There was a sound of inhalation at the scene. This is not a small sum of money.
Cash aside, the most important thing is silk and satin. The silk and satin in Zixiaoguan are all high-quality brocades given by the palace. They are simply not available on the market. They took them to the Western Market and sold them to a Hu merchant for a hundred cents.
This person actually dared to attack it? He just stole one. He was so courageous.
Even Sun Simiao was surprised and looked at him and said, "Mr. Zhao, what do you have to say?"
The accountant trembled violently and shouted in a hoarse voice: "Slander, this is a naked slander. Please make the decision for me."
Sun Simiao shook his head and said disappointedly: "You still refuse to tell the truth? In this case, I have no choice."
Then he scanned the crowd again, and finally his eyes rested on Wu Shu, and said: "You did a good job. I feel relieved to leave the internal affairs of Zixiaoguan to you. Do a good job."
Wu Shu said excitedly: "Thank you so much..."
"Ahem." Chen Jingke coughed dryly and winked at her.
Wu Shu blushed and whispered: "Thank you, Master. I will take care of the affairs in the temple for you."
Sun Simiao nodded with satisfaction and said to the others: "Did you all hear it? From now on, cooperate with Shu'er to manage the affairs inside the temple."
"Here." Everyone stood up and said respectfully.
Yihe and others who had a good relationship with Wu Shu were all happy for her.
Only the accountant was slumped in his chair with a pale face.
Sun Simiao looked at him for the last time, sighed and said, "You can handle the matter as you please, don't bother me."
After speaking, he turned around and returned to the inner hall.
The accountant didn't dare to let him go just like that, and begged: "Master Guan, please spare my life, Master Guan, I don't dare to do it anymore..."
Wu Shu sneered and shouted: "Noisy, shut his mouth so as not to disturb Master Qingxiu."
"Here." Inspector Gong Xun responded, and personally led someone to hold down the accountant, and even pulled a piece of cloth from his body and stuffed it into his mouth.
Wu Shu asked Chen Jingke again: "Master, the sin slave has been captured. Please tell me how to deal with it."
Chen Jingke smiled and said: "You can see how it is dealt with. There is only one rule, it must be in accordance with the law. We are civilized people and cannot use lynching."
Wu Shu said: "Don't worry, I will ensure that no one can find any fault with it."
Then she said to Gong Xun: "Take him under custody and make sure there are no problems. All accounts will be dealt with after the investigation."
"Here." Gong Xun took him to the woodshed and locked him up.
After taking away the unsightly person, she bowed slightly to the stewards and said: "Master and Master are wrongly loved and entrusted to me to take care of the affairs of the temple. I am sincere and frightened."
"You are all the mainstays of the old people in the temple. I hope you can help me a lot in the future. Let's handle the affairs of the temple together so that the two real people can do great things with peace of mind."
Everyone quickly returned the courtesy and said in unison: "I sincerely follow your lady's teachings."
Wu Shu nodded and said, "It's already getting late, so you all can go and do your business. We'll talk about anything tomorrow."
"Here." Everyone filed away as ordered.
After all the outsiders had left, Wu Shu put a smile on his face again, came to Yihe and others, and said kindly: "Thanks to everyone today, I don't know what would have happened without you."
"Ma'am, you're so polite. It doesn't matter if there's a real person working as a cashier." Zhou Xiang complimented.
"Yes, yes, the real person is the most powerful." Everyone cheered.
Yihe said with admiration: "Sister, what you did just now was great. Commander Ruoding cleaned up the accounting room with just a few words and impressed several stewards."
Wu Shu held her hand and said, "Don't be humble. My sister admires you for keeping Erya Courtyard in order."
Her attitude towards these people in Erya Building was completely different from before. She was very kind and approachable. Everyone who was still a little worried at first felt 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 clearly.
Everyone agreed wholeheartedly. They were the direct beneficiaries of Wu Shu taking power, so they were naturally happy to see the results.
After chatting for a while and agreeing to go check the accounts together tomorrow, everyone dispersed.
Wu Shu breathed a sigh of relief, and a proud smile appeared on his face.
"Performing well, 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. He held his waist with both hands, put his face against his chest and murmured:
"Ma'am, I'm so happy, so happy."
Chen Jingke hugged her back and said, "I will be happier in the future."
"Ahem." Just as the two of them were flirting with each other, Sun Simiao's voice came from inside the room: "You two, come here, I have something to tell you."
