People always think I'm a broken sleeve

In order to be able to continue to enjoy the days when clothes come to hand, meals come to mouth, carefree and extremely enjoyable, Duanmu Wenjing successfully persuaded Liu Xiwei to ask Zhuang Duxin for money tomorrow.

In order to continue to be with Duanmu Wenjing, Liu Xiwei is also determined to go to Zhuang Duxin tomorrow... Oh no, it should be Su Bian asking for money.

In fact, Liu Xiwei wanted to go back to find Su Bian a long time ago, but when he thought of Su Bian's expression and demeanor on the day he was driven away, he couldn't bear to go back to find Su Bian.

But Duanmu Wenjing's words today made him finally determined to go back to find Su Bian.

With Zhuang Duxin's lustful nature, as long as he opens his mouth, Zhuang Duxin must immediately agree.

Even if he refuses for a while, he immediately softens his body and acts like a baby, no matter how hard-hearted Zhuang Duxin is, he must soften immediately.After all, he used to be so obsessed with him, every day is like a dog

How could she possibly resist his temptation?

Liu Xiwei thought so confidently.

As he thought about it triumphantly, he had even sketched in his mind the appearance of Su Bian staring at him with glamorous eyes.

Thinking of this scene, and thinking of the other party's indifferent and heartless attitude on the day he was driven away, Liu Xiwei felt very happy in his heart.

Hmm... how much money do you want to find that guy tomorrow?

... 1 taels?

It seems a little too little.

As far as Zhuang Duxin's attitude of driving him away, no matter what, it is impossible to ask for only 1 taels.

Liu Xi thought for a while.

5 million taels?

It still feels like a little too little.

Well... it's still 10 taels!

Liu Xiwei compared his and Duanmu Wenjing's daily expenses in his mind.

He no longer does any business, and he no longer spends money recklessly. The 10 taels alone are enough for him and Wen Jing to live comfortably.

--good!That's 10 taels!

Liu Xi smiled smugly, with a happy look, as if Su Bian had given him 10 taels of silver.

That night, after Liu Xiwei and Duanmu Wenjing finished washing, they lay down in the bedroom together with smiles on their faces.

The two of them blushed, thinking that tomorrow they would return to the old days when they had nothing to worry about, they were looking forward to it, looking forward to the early arrival of tomorrow.

Duanmu Wenjing and Liu Xiwei took it for granted that as long as Liu Xiwei hooked his fingers, Zhuang Duxin would immediately kneel down at Liu Xiwei's feet and take the initiative to hand over the money.However

What the two of them never expected was that the person in this shell... had already changed.

If it is Zhuang Duxin himself, then the plot will indeed develop as they imagined.

But Su Bian...is different.

The two lay down on the bed full of joy, and fell asleep quietly. At the same time, Su Bian in the Zhuang Mansion was still sorting out the books in the bedroom.

Organize the ledgers from the present to 20 years ago.

The accountant said that he had other thoughts about the accounts in the mansion after the so-called Mr. Liu entered the mansion.

Su Bian asked Bizhu how many years ago that 'Master Liu' came, and Bizhu answered three years.In other words, the accountant has been tampering with the books for three years.

But the accountant has stayed in the Zhuang Mansion for more than 20 years, and Zhuang Duxin has never looked at the account books. Su Bian would not believe it if he said that he had unruly thoughts in the past three years.

Therefore, Su Bian simply checked the accounts from 20 years ago.

After receiving Su Bian's order, Bizhu moved the account books from 20 years ago to the present out of the accountant's house, and then piled them all up in Su Bian's bedroom.Those old ledgers

, Almost filled up half the room.

The words in the account book are densely packed and squeezed into a ball. To calculate an account book, it will take at least three days at the earliest.

In three days, all the books in the house have been calculated, and I don't know what year and month.

After Bizhu moved all the ledgers to Su Bian's bedroom, even she, who couldn't read the ledgers at all, found it scary, and wanted to persuade Su Bian to give up, or hire a special accountant.

Sir come here.

But Su Bian refused without hesitation.

The three days of a book here refers to the troublesome algorithm of adding traditional characters with the abacus here.

…But if you want to switch to Arabic numerals in the 21st century, the efficiency is completely different.

After Su Bian converted all the accounts in the ledger into simplified figures, it only took an hour for Su Bian to sort out the accounts for one year.

Although the efficiency is extremely fast, but after all, it is 20 years of accounts, it will take some time.However, after these few days, Su Bian finally sorted out the accounts of these 20 years to the final stage

.

As he expected, the cashier really lied.The so-called three years is basically ten years.

As early as ten years ago, he had already started to tamper with the books.From ten years to the present, the amount of silver secretly stolen from the mansion is almost as high as several 10 taels.

But as the accountant said, the little money he stole was nothing compared to what was allocated to Mr. Liu every month.

At the beginning, it was more than a dozen taels per month, then tens of taels, then hundreds of taels, thousands of taels, and finally tens of thousands of taels.

The total amount of money that the accountant secretly took from the mansion is not as much as the amount allocated to that Mr. Liu for a year.

In addition to the words of Mr. Liu, there are also more than a dozen male favorites in the mansion who also need expenses.

First, cosmetic money, then pocket money for buying clothes, and some messy accessories, jade, snacks, etc.The addition of a dozen male favorites is not a small number.

According to Bizhu, Zhuang Duxin, who is the owner of this body, was a rich man with a lot of money in his ancestors.Therefore, under Zhuang Duxin's wanton squandering these years, only

No breaking the bank.

But... not much better now.

Su Bian finally finished the accounts of 20 years just now, and then found that under Zhuang Duxin's own profligacy and male pets' excessive demands, there is only one glorious man left in the Zhuang mansion.

Bright and beautiful empty shell.

If it weren't for Zhuang Duxin's identity as a county magistrate, he could still get some silver every month, and I'm afraid that the whole Zhuang family will have to drink the northwest wind next month.

After thinking about it, Su Bian pressed his temple tiredly, feeling a little headache.

There was a sudden knock on the door, and then, Bi Zhu's familiar voice sounded from outside the door.

Bi Zhu stood outside the door with glutinous rice balls and knocked on the door, calling softly: "Are you asleep, my lord? The servant asked Zhong Liang to make a supper for you, and I specially brought it here."

Su Bian in the room closed his eyes, rubbed his temples, and said calmly without raising his head, "Bring it in."

After getting permission, Bizhu carefully pushed the door open, and after entering the room, she slowly put the glutinous rice balls in her hand on the table beside her.

After putting down the glutinous rice balls, he turned around and saw his lord pressing his temples, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said quietly: "My lord, please read the account book, and this servant will help you press it."

After all, without waiting for Su Bian to answer, the enthusiastic she consciously stepped forward and raised her hand, ready to start pressing for Su Bian.

But Su Bian stretched out his hand to stop him.

Su Bian finally opened his eyes, but his hands kept moving.

Su Bian said without turning his head, "No need, I've already finished sorting out the accounts."

Hearing this, Bizhu's expression froze, she stared at Su Bian dumbfounded, and then looked at the account book beside Su Bian, her eyes were full of disbelief.

——Your Excellency actually read all the ledgers in the half of the room in just a few days? !

Bizhu stared blankly at Su Bian, only to feel that her master had completely surpassed the realm of ordinary people's cognition.

Bizhu couldn't help being a little curious, and asked in a low voice: "...May I ask you something?"

Su Bian raised his eyes and looked at her.

Su Bian did not speak, but from the movement of turning his head and raising his eyes, he had already silently told Bizhu the word 'say'.

Bizhu looked at Su Bian without blinking, lowered her voice, and asked with a serious face: "My lord, are you really... a human?"

Su Bian's eyes twitched: "..."

Seeing Su Bian's slightly twitching expression, Bizhu was afraid that her lord might misunderstand, so she hurriedly explained: "This servant has absolutely no other meaning, this servant just thinks that the current lord is simply too powerful.

, just like a fairy..."

immortal……

Su Bian's eyes twitched again.

Su Bianjing said: "I'm not a human being, am I a ghost?"

At this time in the middle of the night, it was pitch black outside the room, and I couldn't see my fingers when I went out.

Responding to the scene outside the room, and hearing the word "ghost" in Su Bian's mouth, Bizhu was shocked immediately, and immediately dared not mention it again.

With tears in her eyes, Bi Zhu immediately admitted her mistake, "Your Excellency, your servant is wrong, and this servant will never mention it again."

Bi Zhu was so frightened that her legs went limp.

Seeing Bizhu's frightened appearance, Su Bian immediately waved at her, and said calmly: "Since you are afraid, go back first, the accounts have been sorted out, so you don't need to come and serve here.

"

Bizhu obediently said yes.

When turning around to leave, Bizhu seemed to think of something suddenly, and stood there hesitated for a while.

Bizhu turned around and turned back, hesitantly said: "There is something I don't know whether I should tell my lord..."

Su Bian looked up at her, waiting for her to finish her next sentence.

Bizhu hesitated for a while, and finally continued to speak: "A few days ago, my servant went to the street and accidentally saw Mr. Liu doing business on the street. The servant did not dare to go forward, so I just separated

He glanced at the distance.However, according to the small vendors near Mr. Liu Street, Mr. Liu refused to yell when he was doing business, and he couldn’t shame himself to solicit customers.

Losing money every day, these days have completely lost everything. "

Su Bian raised his eyebrows and said lightly, "I see."

Bizhu wanted to say something more, but seeing Su Bian's expression, she finally didn't dare to speak.

She still wanted to say something like 'I am afraid that Mr. Liu will come back to the mansion to ask you for money', but she was afraid that her lord's affection for Mr. Liu would be unfinished, and she was afraid that what she said would be self-defeating.

So the words still stuck in my stomach.

...In short, I can only hope that Mr. Liu will stop appearing in front of your lord.

Yinzi is a minor matter, what Bizhu is most afraid of is that after Young Master Liu returns, her lord will return to her previous licentious appearance.

Thinking about the adults in the past, Bizhu felt a little hopeless.

Bizhu left Su Bian's bedroom in despair.

After Bizhu left, Su Bian didn't immediately turn off the lights and go to sleep.

He sat in front of the ledger, recalling Bizhu's words just now, and fell into deep thought.

Capital, Chaotang.

The Emperor Jin in a yellow robe sat on a high dragon chair, condescendingly looking down at the courtiers.

Zongzheng Feng Gaochen first stepped forward and said: "I believe that the matter of Jiuqing should not be delayed any longer. Jiuqing is in charge of the Ministry of Justice and Punishment, and it is related to the loyalty of all courtiers.

Do both.Your Majesty, the appointment of Jiuqing must not be delayed any longer! "

Emperor Jin glanced at Feng Gaochen who was standing in the hall, and asked in a deep voice, "Who does Feng Aiqing think is qualified for this position?"

Feng Gaochen replied without thinking: "Forgive me for being stupid, there is no one for me at the moment. However, I think you can listen to the opinion of Lord Lieutenant."

So the topic was thrown to Xuan Yue who was standing quietly aside without speaking in the blink of an eye.

Emperor Jin glanced at Xuan Yue who had no expression on his face, his face instantly turned pale, and he immediately felt aggrieved.

Just when he was about to ask Xuanyue aggrievedly, Taiwei Ji Yixiao, who stood in front of all the officials, said expressionlessly: "Master Guowei is only in charge of the appointment of military officials, Jiuqing is a civil servant."

, shouldn't you listen to Chitose-sama's opinion? "

After Ji Yixiao finished speaking, the topic turned to Prime Minister Long Jingying who was standing directly opposite him with a cold face.

The Emperor Jin gritted his teeth secretly, and had no choice but to turn his gaze to Long Jingying who was standing in the front.

Facing Long Jingying's indifferent face as if it was made of ice, Emperor Jin forced a smile on his face, and then asked softly, "What's your opinion on the matter of the prime minister?"

Long Jingying slightly lifted her thin lips, "I have no objection."

Emperor Jin: "..."

Indeed, as Ji Yixiao said, the affairs of one of the nine ministers should have been taken care of by Prime Minister Long Jingying, but now Long Jingying doesn't care about the affairs of the court at all.Flick your long sleeves, Xiao

He casually and neatly became a casual person in the court.

So this topic was thrown to Emperor Jin again.

Jiuqing is in charge of the Ministry of Punishment.The prime minister can be judged at the top, and hundreds of officials can be executed at the bottom.How can such an important position be handed over to others casually?

To be more specific, it should be said that it is handed over to any one of the hundreds of officials in the court.

Emperor Jin said without even thinking about it: "I think it's too early to discuss the matter of Jiuqing alone..."

After Jin Emperor's words fell, Guowei Xuanyue, who had not looked at him from the beginning to the end, finally opened his mouth.

Xuan Yue raised his eyes, looked casually at Emperor Jin who was sitting on the throne, and said with a slightly raised corner of his mouth, "The emperor has been on the throne for two years, and it's too early for the emperor to say in the first year.

past.Saying this now...is it a bit inappropriate? "

Xuan Yue's slightly rising ending sound carried a hint of ridicule and silent sarcasm.

Although he didn't directly say that he was stupid, Xuan Yue's slightly mocking expression had silently indicated everything.

Emperor Jin looked at Xuan Yue's handsome and frivolous delicate face, and almost wanted to slap his chair up immediately, and let the imperial guards drag away Xuan Yue, who had no imperial power, but when he thought of Xuan Yue's palm

The heavy authority in charge, as well as those ministers who followed him loyally, could only say aggrieved in the end:

... Ai Qing is right.

If the court wants to say who is the most terrifying, the one who deserves it is Guowei Xuanyue.
