He hasn't done anything wrong these days. In Ximen Qing's room with a "Treasury Department" hanging on it, because he can't make detailed accounts, he can only follow the instructions given by his brother Song Jiang, make up the numbers in there, and allocate some money from time to time. For public funds, please invite your colleagues or close brothers to hold a tea or a wine party. Isn’t Liangshan particular about dividing gold and silver on large scales? Then naturally I, Song Si, also have a share of these public funds. I have advanced them in advance and then calculated them. What? In the words of my brother Song Jiang, this is how all the government offices in the world come about.
To be honest, Song Qing had no prejudice against Ximen Qing. On the contrary, he admired him very much. However, because his brother Song Jiang regarded Ximen Qing as his enemy, he had no choice but to fill in the hole and become Ximen Qing's enemy. He hung out in the Ministry of Finance every day, just He looked around randomly, always trying to find some reason to come to his brother's place for business, but after searching here and there, Ximen Qing caught him out before he could get into trouble.
That's why Song Qing felt that he was aggrieved, and there was a feeling of snow falling in June, and the world felt strange injustice. Although the weather was now in November, on Guiwei day, Zhao Guan's family had just finished offering sacrifices to Yuanqiu and offered amnesty to the world. The right season for snow.
Song Qingguang stared, wanting to hear how Jiang Jing would arrange him, but he heard Jiang Jing make an impassioned speech on the high platform in the center of the round table: "Brothers and brothers, my younger brother is not talented, and he has been put in high regard by the village, and given the post of financial management and prudent use, dare you not Do your best to repay? But my little brother alone is not enough, so I invite Mr. Huang Wenbing and Brother Song Qing to be my second deputy. As the saying goes, if three people work together, their sharpness can cut through gold. This is the time to put all your efforts into it!"
After all, Jiang Jing was a scholar. At this time, he still had to write a few sentences, and the big bosses in the Juyi Hall became a little impatient. Song Jiang took the opportunity to wink at the black whirlwind Li Kui. Li Kui and Gong Ming brother had a clear understanding, so they He yelled: "Say what you have to say, and let go of what you have to say. Such coquettish nonsense will not delay my Tieniu drinking!"
Amid a burst of laughter, the stern-faced Pei Xuan turned his eyes towards Li Kui. Li Kui took a breath and smiled flatteringly at Pei Xuan, then covered his mouth and retreated into the crowd. .Although Li Kui has grown up like a tiger, with iron bones and copper tendons, he is still very skilled and proficient at being a small boy. It should be noted that his nickname is the black whirlwind. Although the wind shakes the sky and the earth, it also shakes the sky and the earth at critical moments. It can fit through gaps and seams, and this figure can naturally be both strong and flexible.
Li Kui would be afraid of Pei Xuan, firstly because his blind mother was taken care of by the Pei Xuan family, and secondly because Pei Xuan was a selfless man who loved others. Although Li Kui was vicious, he also knew how to respect good people.
After the laughter died down, Pei Xuan said: "Brother Jiang Jing, please continue talking!"
Jiang Jing nodded to Pei Xuan, reorganized his words, and continued: "Brother is in charge of the Ministry of Finance and authorized him some time ago - whenever the amount of money spent by the Ministry of Finance is less than one hundred guan, Mr. Huang Wenbing and Song The Qing brothers can all be independent. But when the brothers audited the accounts yesterday, they discovered that there were some mistakes on the part of the Song and Qing brothers."
Song Qing opened his eyes wide and said in surprise: "What's wrong with me?"
Jiang Jing knocked on the table with a gavel, and then two minions affiliated with the Ministry of Finance - more formally known as "Ji Li" - came up with an account book and a few documents, and presented them to Chao Gai. Offer it in front of you.
Song Jiang and Wu Yong both gathered in front of Chao Gai. They couldn't see clearly the account books for a while, but they saw that the signatures and seals of Song Qing were on the bills. Song Jiang was used to being an official, and Wu Yong was very scheming and could see it at a glance. The amount of copper coins on those lists was not one hundred coins, but one hundred and two coins, and there were also one hundred and three, four, and five coins.
Wu Yong and Song Jiang looked at each other, both shocked. Then they heard Jiang Jing ask loudly: "Brother Song Qing, are you the one who signed these documents?"
Song Qing also stepped forward, stretched his neck to see clearly, nodded and said: "It's my younger brother. My signature and signature are authentic. I have a seal to prove it."
When Jiang Jing heard Song Qing's personal admission, he raised his voice and said: "Brother, the King of Heaven, all the brothers, and my younger brother, my authorization was only for a hundred coins, but brothers Song and Qing signed a hundred and two coins, a hundred and three coins... but I don’t know why this is?”
Song Qing was dumbfounded for a moment. Under the scrutinizing gazes of all the heroes in the Juyi Hall, he scratched his head and murmured: "This... brother, I just think that one hundred and two, one hundred and five, etc. are not far from one hundred." Big...this...so I didn't bother Brother Jiang Jing..."
Jiang Jing hit the table with the gavel hard, deafening him, and shouted: "It's even one hundred and one, but it's not a hundred!"
Song Qing lowered his head as he listened, looking shy, his face turning red and white.
Wu Yong coughed and stood up, swinging the folding fan. However, after fanning twice, he felt cold, so he turned his wrist and closed the fan into a straight pen, changing the elegant and suave shape into the one of guiding the country. You have to be as familiar and proficient as Black Whirlwind Li Kui.
"Everyone, please don't raise your voice so as not to hurt the harmony between brothers." Wu Yong said with a smile, "Brother Jiang Jing, I'm going to scold you here. What's the value of being consistent? Song Qing My brother signed the order for you because he didn't want you to work too hard. You should be grateful to the sun and the moon for such a deep love, but why do you care about it? Is the friendship between brothers still there? Is it not as good as these two copper coins?"
With that said, Zhiduoxing turned to Chao Gai and sighed: "Brother Tianwang, I, brother Liangshan, should have loyalty first, why should we care about these few copper coins? If so, wouldn't it chill the hearts of the brothers?"
Before Chao Gai could say anything, Huang Wenbing had already said coldly: "What the military advisor said is wrong! How does the issue of the Ministry of Finance's accounts have anything to do with the friendship between brothers? The military advisor is a university scholar, how can he secretly change his concepts here? , what’s the point of confusing the public?”
After hearing this, Wu Yong wanted to smoke, but he was afraid of ruining his image as a scholar, so he held it back. He and Huang Wenbing were old enemies. Six months ago, he wrote a fake letter to outwit Cai Jiu, the prefect of Jiangzhou. In the end, Huang Wenbing saw through the details, and his clever plan failed. After all, he worked hard and mobilized people to cause a disturbance for the boss. After thinking about it, Zhiduoxing was inevitably grudged, but he just forced himself to be patient. Who would have thought that today Huang Wenbing would take advantage of others and come to cause trouble for himself again? !
Just when Wu Yong was about to move his lips and tongue to retaliate against Huang Wenbing, he heard the iron-faced Pei Xuan say: "Without rules, there is no square. Nowadays, copycat villages are powerful. If you don't want to become a mob, you must follow Shang Yang's example and build a tree with a hundred gold and make a fortune." This is the right principle. If we unite them with literature and order them with force, then the power of the mountain stronghold will not be reduced, and only then can brothers enjoy peace and harmony. At this time when everything is renewed, we should not abandon the legal principles because of personal feelings and dig up the foundation of the mountain stronghold—— Please make a clear decision, Brother Tianwang!"
Chao Gai listened and nodded slowly. This is exactly:
I have always been uncompromising, but I can see it clearly a hundred years ago. But I don’t know what will happen next. Let’s hear the explanation next time.
