When Chu Qing returned to the class room, he found that there were several books of accounts on the table, and the accounts were copied on yellow paper instead of bamboo slips.
There is only an amount on the account, which is very huge, but there is no indication of which road or state the tax item belongs to.
Chu Qing knew without asking that it must have been sent by Wei Changfeng.
There was no place name written down, so he couldn't ask specifically because he knew that Wei Changfeng was considering it for him.
The more you know, the sooner you will die.
After a casual glance, Chu Qing took out the food box, which contained the steamed cakes and several snacks he brought from the Chu Mansion in the morning. After taking a few casual bites, he took out a pen and paper and began to calculate the accounts.
Time passed by minute by minute, until the sound of the gong came at midnight, Chu Qing raised his head and rubbed his sore temples.
There were footsteps at the door, and the officials from the Ministry of Revenue left the government office in twos and threes.
Chu Qing looked down and saw that there was still the last part that he had not finished calculating, so he thought about finishing it and going back together.
The sky wasn't completely dark yet, and Chu Qing didn't bother to light the oil lamp.
After another half an hour, all the accounts have been verified. They will be verified again tomorrow morning and handed over to Wei Changfeng.
As a result, as soon as I stood up and stretched, the door was pushed open.
Chen Yan was stunned: "How come you haven't gotten off work yet?"
Chu Qing's expression changed drastically: "Did you get beaten?"
Chen Yan, whose eyes were broken, obviously didn't expect that Chu Qing had not left so late. His face was full of embarrassment, and there was some blood under his nose, which indicated that he had been beaten.
Going around the desk and coming to Chen Yan, Chu Qing frowned: "The loan shark beat you?"
Chen Yan laughed sarcastically: "It was just a quarrel and a quarrel. It's okay."
"The loan shark really beat you up, but you didn't reveal your official status?"
"It's not something worth bragging about. How can I show my official status?"
A burst of anger suddenly rose in Chu Qing's chest.
Chen Yan mortgaged his mansion to raise money for himself. Now that he was beaten, how could he sit idly by and watch.
"Let's go!" Chu Qing directly grabbed Chen Yan's sleeve: "Take Fu San and seek justice for you!"
Chen Yan was startled and waved his hands repeatedly: "That's it, it's just a minor injury. Brother Yu has already taught them a lesson. Don't cause trouble again."
"You're still bragging. Let's go. I'll ask Fu San to teach them a lesson and give you a bad breath."
Chen Yan's face turned red and he was holding on to the doorframe as if he could not move away.
Chu Qing put down Chen Yan's arm and said in a deep voice: "You borrowed this money from me. The money you owe is transferred to my name. Tell me where it is, and Fu San and I will go!"
"It's the same, it's all the same, not much different."
"It's different." Chu Qing said angrily: "I know that loan sharks are bullies who are afraid of the strong. They specialize in bullying cowards like you. If you name me, they will come and beat you again and again."
"But after all, I owe money. If word spreads, this face..."
"Do you think I care about face?"
Chen Yan nodded slightly: "I really don't care."
Chu Qing: "..."
"Why don't Brother Yu tell you where the store that sells loan sharks is, and you can just go, Brother Yu... Brother Yu won't go."
Chu Qing angrily scolded him: "After all, you are also a sixth-grade household official. Why are you so cowardly? Officials are afraid of loan sharks?"
"Oh, Brother Yu is not afraid, Brother Yu has already taught them a lesson."
"Okay, okay, stop bragging and come with me."
"Then it's agreed. Brother Yu will watch from a distance and don't let them see me."
Chu Qing had a look of disdain on his face.
Originally, he admired Chen Yan quite a lot.
Whether it's as an official or as a friend, it doesn't matter.
But the problem is that you are a man, or a man who is an official, but you have been bullied into this, and you still dare not reveal your official status for fear of being like this by a group of loan sharks. It is so despicable.
Not bothering to listen to the ink words, Chu Qing walked quickly outside the government office.
"Fu San, let's go to Bei City with the young master."
Fu San almost fell asleep leaning on the stone lion, rubbing his eyes: "Aren't you going back home?"
"Go back to some house, go to Beishi, let Chen Yan get beaten up by those loan sharks, and seek justice for him."
Chen Yan, who had just walked out, was still bragging, and even said: "No, no, I also beat them, they are all hurt, they are all hurt."
Fu San rubbed his hands, his eyes shining like a pervert.
In this way, the angry Chu Qing took the extremely excited Fu San, followed by Chen Yan with a bitter look on his face, and the three of them rushed to Beishi.
Along the way, Chu Qing didn't bother to ask for details, and the more he looked at Chen Yan's "cowardly" look, the angrier he became.
Thinking that he, the little bully of Bei City, has been running around Bei City for many years, and the people all walk around him when they see him, how can Chen Yan be bullied by the unruly people in Bei City?
Arriving all the way to the bustling Beishi City, Chen Yan stopped and pointed to a shop called "Jufu Zhai" in the distance.
"Brother Fool...Brother Fool will not go. Brother Xian will go and transfer the debt. Don't cause any trouble."
"Fucking coward!"
Chu Qing cursed and looked at Fu San: "How many can you hit alone?"
Fu San clenched his fists and laughed: "If you don't harm your life, three or five of you can't get close."
"That's enough. I can hit one. The shop is not big. There can only be four or five people at most. Let's go."
"Master, let's go and block the door so no one can escape."
"No problem. Also, you are not allowed to be maimed, let alone killed. They must move first... It doesn't matter. Anyway, young master, I am an official."
Chen Yan looked like he was hesitating to speak, and finally sighed, not embarrassed to continue to dissuade him.
Chu Qing rolled up his sleeves as he walked and took three steps at a time to reach the shop of "Jufuzhai".
The front door is not big, it is a small second floor, and people are walking around. It is obviously not a good place. Through the crack of the door, you can see a table inside, with some miscellaneous objects placed next to it.
Chu Qing stepped in and shouted: "Where are the people, come out dead, young master..."
Before he finished speaking about the situation, there was a sudden "bang" sound behind him, and Fu San kicked a vase half a man's height down.
Taking out the short knife stuck in his waist, Fu San plunged directly into the wooden wall, his face full of anger: "Is there anyone alive? Come out and die!"
Chu Qing was already sure.
I can't say half of my previous reputation as a "living beast", but at least two-thirds should be attributed to my third brother. This bastard is even more arrogant than me!
Hearing the yelling, a tall and thin man ran in from the backyard.
Seeing that Chu Qing was dressed unusually, he frowned and asked politely: "What does this young master do for you?"
"Are you the one in charge?"
The tall and thin man said nothing, his face full of suspicion.
Chu Qing snapped his fingers: "Hit me!"
As soon as the word "beat" came out, Fu San rushed forward like a cheetah. Before the tall and thin man could react, Fu San punched him in the face.
With a groan, the tall and thin man fell on his back.
Either that or Fu San is an old killer. As soon as the person lay down, he kicked him in the face.
One set of moves was smooth and smooth, one punch and one kick, and he knocked one down directly.
"Master, there are still people in the backyard, and the young one went in!"
As soon as he finished speaking, maybe he heard the yelling and cursing inside the house, a fat man with a sinister face opened the door curtain and walked in from the backyard.
"Who the hell are you yelling about..."
Before he could finish his words, the huge fist had already hit him.
