I felt a little cold on my body. It turned out that the water was completely cold.

Annoyed, he put on his jacket, rolled up his sleeves, and stirred the water a few times vigorously. After confirming that there were no suspicious traces in the water, he asked someone to move the tub out.

What's the matter!

Ahhh, it must be young and impatient, it has nothing to do with Xiao Yu.

Well, we must stay away from Xiao Yu in the future.

After Lu Wenyu secretly made up his mind, he put on his coat and went to practice swords in the courtyard.

Before the court meeting on the second day, Xiao Yu returned to his previous appearance. He casually replied when others spoke to him, and he leaned against the pillar and lowered his head to see what he was looking at when no one came to him.

Lu Wenyu wanted to stay away from him, so he stood far away, sneaking a peek through the crowd from time to time.

Just when he glanced countless times, Xiao Yu suddenly raised his head to look at him, blinked at him lightly, opened his mouth, and said silently, "Am I pretty?"

Lu Wenyu understood what he meant, and turned away in embarrassment, not looking at him.

Xiao Yu lowered his head and smiled for a while, and thought of something, then put away his smile, and his face became dark.

Kong Fei approached Lu Wenyu mysteriously, and said in a low voice, "Do you want to hear your latest rumor? It's still hot."

Lu Wenyu was surprised: "What?"

Kong Feibai: "It is now rumored that you snatched Li Yuanliang's ball in yesterday's game and almost caused him to be seriously injured. It is said that you are arrogant and domineering, you are arrogant and arrogant, you are a cancer in people, a bully among officials."

Lu Wenyu gritted his teeth: "...it must be Li Yuanliang's grandson again. What good does it do for him to slander me like this?"

Kong Feibai said: "The prosperity of the world is all for profit; the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. Just wait and see, he must have tricks, you have to be careful."

Lu Wenyu didn't care: "Don't worry about him, the soldiers come to cover up the water and soil, if he dares to bully me, I'll knock out his teeth."

Kong Feibai said: "Don't always think about solving it with your fists, you have to think about getting it back."

Lu Wenyu nodded.

After a while, the young Emperor Qinghe sat on the dragon chair under the support of everyone.

Emperor Qinghe said: "I have an imperial edict at the top, and there are thieves and bandits at the bottom. Since the war, all industries have withered, the wealth is scarce, and the people are displaced. Hu seeks peace, helps the people by managing the world, recuperates and calms people's grievances."

Some ministers below were agitated slightly, and looked at Li Hongzhong quietly. Li Hongzhong stood calmly, as if he had already determined the result, and he couldn't help secretly rejoicing that it was the Li family, and they were on the right side.

Kong Shangqi stood up and said: "Your Majesty, Chihu is short of supplies. He has fought with our dynasty for many years and has spent most of his national power. If our dynasty accepts the peace, I am afraid that farmers will raise snakes and tigers. Please also Your Majesty, think twice."

Li Hongzhong stood up and said: "Master Kong's concerns, the emperor must be aware of it. It's just that in recent years, the national treasury has been tight, and it is really impossible to spend excess military funds. In addition, the post-war reconstruction of Duanzhou, Chuzhou and other places to appease the people's livelihood. It's a huge expense. Lord Hou only cares about fighting, and I'm afraid he doesn't know about state affairs."

Kong Shangqi: "Teacher Li, although my Great Qi is not as rich and powerful as Liang and Wu, but the land is abundant, the people are hardworking, and there have been no floods or droughts in recent years, so how can the treasury be tight? I don't know when Grand Master Li will take over Lord Shen's post. Take care of your finances."

Li Hongzhong hurriedly said: "General Li, you can't talk nonsense. I, Li Hongzhong, have never been on my behalf. The national conditions are like this. I just report the truth. I hope the Holy One will see clearly."

Emperor Qinghe waved his hand: "My dear friends, there is no need to fight any more. I have made up my mind. Today, the Ministry of Rites will start to draw up a peace agreement and announce it to the world soon."

Before Kong Shangqi could speak again, the emperor waved his hand and sent the eunuch a message: "Today's work is over, retreat!"

The officials dispersed in twos and threes, and Kong Shangqi frowned and left worriedly.

When Lu Wenyu returned to the Department of Household Affairs, Li Yuanliang sneered, and his colleagues also secretly winked at each other. He pretended not to see, went straight to his seat and sat down.

There was already a tall pile of account books on the copybook, and he simply flipped through them, only to find that they were all old accounts with loopholes and defects.

Daqi has been in the country for decades, but there are a lot of account books, from the tax and bank records of the states to the disaster relief funds in a certain year, from military expenditures to official salaries, they are all recorded one by one.

It's just that there are always a few mouse droppings in a pot of soup, and there are always discrepancies in the account books. The Secretary of the Ministry of Accounts records these loopholes in the book, and the stack is two feet high.

In fact, these old accounts can basically not be tracked down. The people involved either disappeared without a trace due to their age, or they have already committed crimes and cannot make up for the deficit. As for whether there are culprits among them, no one knows.

Everyone knows that this account cannot be settled.Moreover, as a rule, two people should work together, one to clear and one to check.but……

Lu Wenyu looked up and looked around. When other colleagues saw him looking over, they hurriedly turned their faces and lowered their heads to flip through the booklets in their hands, pretending to be busy. Li Yuanliang leaned on the back of the chair, closed his eyes in high spirits, and even had a servant for him. Beat back.

Lu Wenyu finally understood that this was Li Yuanliang's idea, and the other officials only followed suit.He was about to have a fit, but suddenly remembered Kong Feibai's warning, temporarily suppressed his pressure, and will "repay" him later when he finds another opportunity.

A few hours passed in a blink of an eye, and Lu Wenyu turned dizzy, her head dizzy several times.There are all kinds of loopholes. Some local officials made false accounts and finally couldn’t figure it out. Some disaster relief funds were embezzled. Officials pleaded guilty to death and did not say where the money was hidden. .

Lu Wenyu read for a long time, and he read a few books. He wrote down all the doubts, and was going to ask Mr. Shen.

When Shen Caocao came to the point, as soon as he entered the room, he said: "The Holy Majesty wants my department to check the income and expenditure situation in recent years. I wonder how you have checked it?"

An official replied: "My lord, there are many account books. We have assigned tasks and are checking them out."

Shen Ming: "Well, I hope you will do your best. Minister Lu, please follow me."

Shen Ming took Lu Wenyu to a secluded place, turned away from the left and right, and said in a low voice: "I know your nature, and you don't bother to collude with others. You come to Shitianju tonight, I have something important to tell you. Do not tell anyone, understand?"

Lu Wenyu nodded cautiously.

Shen Ming patted him on the shoulder, and walked away with a solemn face.

Volume 10 The old man has become new ([-])

That night, Lu Wenyu arrived at Shitianju on time.Mr. Shen had already booked the compartment, and was sitting on a chair drinking tea, and Shen Yi was also sitting beside him, looking around with big eyes.

As soon as Lu Wenyu pushed the door open, she froze...

What's happening here?

Why is Shen Yi here?

Before Shen Yi said that her father wanted to marry her, is it possible that Lord Shen wants to promise his daughter to him again?

Lu Wenyu stepped into the door with one foot, thought out all the reasons for the euphemistic refusal, and then entered the room calmly.

Lu Wenyu saluted: "Uncle Shen, I'm late."

Shen Ming stretched out his hand to pull him up, and said cordially: "It's not too late, you came just in time, my little girl Shen Yi said she wanted to..."

When Lu Wenyu heard him mention Shen Yi, she immediately interrupted: "I'm so masculine."

Lord Shen looked shocked: "Ah??? You...you...you..."

Oh no, he seems to know something serious, old man Lu Wenhan won't silence him, will he?

Shen Yi was excited: Brother A Ling, you really are! ! !

I didn't expect that the little girl could see the live broken sleeve in the storybook. It's really a worthwhile life! ! !

After the three of them were thinking about each other for a while, Lu Wenyu broke the embarrassment: "I... I... You, cough... What did Uncle Shen just want to say?"

Shen Ming came back to his senses, choked on the saliva, coughed a few times, and said, "No...it's nothing serious, the little girl Ayi said, she wants to..."

"Oh daddy, why do you take so much trouble talking, let me tell you," Shen Yi interrupted his daddy, and said shyly, "I want to get to know General Xiao, can you introduce me?"

Lu Wenyu thought that Shen Yi was a nympho, but she didn't expect to be serious, so she said tactfully, "I don't know him well..."

Shen Yi's eyes were wide open: "But I heard that you were rolling with him in your arms during the polo match a few days ago."

Lord Shen looked at Lu Wenyu in shock again.

Lu Wenyu faltered: "That...that's all a misunderstanding, I really don't know him well, why don't you find Vice General Kong Fei and Bai Kong?"

Shen Yi said melancholy: "But I don't know him, I know you..."

……

Lu Wenyu didn't know how to answer.

Shen Yi suddenly said again: "If you don't introduce me, you like masculinity, and Deputy General Xiao is so beautiful, it could be that you are...interested in him?"

"How is it possible, what nonsense are you talking about!" Lu Wenyu quickly denied it with his hands out of the afterimage.

Shen Yi still looked at him suspiciously.

Shen Ming: "Okay, Ayi, stop making trouble, there is no big or small, Wen Yu shouldn't be as knowledgeable as a little girl, she is spoiled by me, she doesn't taboo when she speaks, don't mind."

Lu Wenyu smiled and scolded her mother in her heart: "I don't mind, I don't mind... I know her temperament, haha."

Shen Ming laughed, and said: "That's good, A Yi, you go out first, I have something to say to your elder brother A Ling."

"Oh." Shen Yi reluctantly went out.

Lu Wenyu asked: "Uncle Shen, why did you call me here?"

Shen Ming suddenly lowered his face and looked serious: "Lu Ling, let me ask you, if your father used power for personal gain, filled his own pockets, and made a big mistake, what would you do?"

"Ah? My father?" Lu Wenyu was stunned, his father...impossible, if his father is greedy, will Quan Jindu still have an upright official?

Shen Ming: "You don't need to ask why, just tell me how do you do it?"

"This... If my father does such a thing... my father can't do such a thing!" Lu Wenyu couldn't imagine that his father, who had always been frugal, was a hidden rich man, and he was a little devastated.
