[Red Chamber] Come for a hexagram?

It took Wang Ren about ten days to sort out all the books of the past five years.Then for days, his mind was full of numbers, accounts, dates.How much official salt arrived in a few months and days, how much is it worth, which shop to sell it, and how much money you get.The difference between profits and expectations.When I close my eyes at night, I can dream of bills flying all over the sky.

This kind of day does not want to experience the second time at all.

Yin Xiang and Shi Yeye were also shocked by Wang Ren's speed. Shi Yeye was even worried that Wang Ren would only care about the speed and there would be errors. Wang Ren's admiration is like a surging river...cough.

It's just that Yinxiang and Shiye couldn't accept the difference in the amount calculated in the accounts.

In five years, there was a total shortfall of more than 800 million taels of silver.And to make up for the more than 300 million taels recorded in the account books found after Li Jiayu's downfall, there is still a shortfall of more than 500 million taels.It was more than the amount that Yinxiang expected to be less.

The country's total treasury revenue for one year is only 5000 million yuan, and the Yanzheng here has lost 500 million yuan in five years.Yin Xiang was so angry that he almost threw the ledger out.The money invested in the disaster relief during the Southern Tour was not as much as the Yanzheng was swallowed up!

Wang Ren sighed, I really didn't know if I didn't check, I was shocked when I checked, and I was not afraid of dying after swallowing so much money.

"The discrepancy in the accounts is so huge, didn't you report it to the emperor?" Yinxiang glared at Shiye.

Shi Xingxing knelt down and cried: "Two years ago when I found out that the accounts were very different, I handed over the booklet to the emperor, and then I found out about Li Jiayu. But this is Jiangsu, when we receive Li Jiayu's account It has been more than half a year, and then I checked again. Except for the official salt that was corrupted by Li Jiayu, I found that the number still seems to be wrong... The emperor has already worried about the matter of salt administration. If I can't solve it, I think I will wait. It's useless, why not go back to your hometown to farm. I already have some clues, and the accounts have been checked and sent to Mr. Lin. I haven't read them carefully. Who knows that Mr. Lin suddenly fell ill at this time, and the clues he caught It was broken again, and the account was also missing. The minister simply..."

"Okay, don't cry." Yinxiang rubbed his brows and said, "Stand up."

Shi Ye wiped away his tears, and sat down with a sigh.

"Have you investigated all the people I told you?" Wang Ren said while sitting at the bottom.

Shi Xingye's eyes widened slightly to see Lord Thirteen looking at Wang Ren, and then decided to keep silent.

Yinxiang nodded: "I've checked. You said Si Yuntong Li Yu, the salt transportation envoy, Wang Runan, the deputy envoy of the salt transportation department, and Tiju Xie En, the salt department promotion department. The prefect and the deputy capital have also been checked. "

"This Li Yu is also suspected?" Shi Yeye immediately stood up and said, "Then Li Yu is a student of the minister, with a noble character, he would not do such a thing."

Yinxiang looked at Wang Ren.Wang Ren recalled the face of Li Yu he saw at the banquet, nodded and said, "It's hard for others to say, but I'm sure of this Li Yu." What a kind person is, but vicious as a snake and a scorpion.The noble and clean character that the construction industry said is probably just pretending.

Although other people are more or less greedy, it is hard to say whether they are involved in the salt administration, especially the prefect.The prefect does not necessarily start with the salt government to make money.But as Si Yuntong, the envoy of salt transport, if Li Yu wanted money, the only way to go was the salt administration, which was the best and most convenient way.

"Imperial envoys have to talk about evidence!" Shi Xingye said with trembling hands, "Is there any evidence to say that my students embezzled officials' salt and money?"

Wang Ren shook his head: "No."

"That's slander out of thin air!"

"I will check if there is any evidence of slander." Yinxiang said, "Master Shi, don't get too excited."

Shi Xingye sat down panting heavily, but only stayed there for a while, wondering if Wang Ren's words had affected him, he got up and left after a while.

"Speaking of which, have you checked out those people?" Shi Yeye left, and Wang Ren asked directly, even more unscrupulously.

Yinxiang said: "Except for Li Yu and Vice President Xiang Wenxu, we have found some signs of corruption. Only these two are clean, and there is no trace of corruption."

Wang Ren rested his chin on his hands and thought for a while, "Then let's do the math."

Yinxiang: ←←

Besides fortune-telling, would you order anything else?

"What are you looking for now?"

Yinxiang smiled: "It would be best if you could just tell me where their official salt and money transaction books are."

Wang Ren raised his eyebrows: "Okay, you wait."

Touching the copper plate, calculated the time, and started divination.

The mountains and rivers are in trouble, the fire and water are not in relief, and the water and fire are in relief.

Gen soil, away from the fire, Kanshui, away from the fire.

"Look for it in the south. You should look for it in the study or kitchen, by the lamp or the stove. And... it has been buried. The person who holds it now is a young and strong man with slightly dark skin."

Yinxiang squinted his eyes and thought, there were two young and strong men, but the only one with slightly darker skin was Vice Dutong Xiang Wenxu.

To the south of here, there is indeed Xiang Wenxu's mansion.There he lived with his wife and children.I don't know if it's a coincidence, but from here to the south, there is only such an official.

Wang Ren: "Hey, what kind of eyes do you have?"

"No, nothing." Yinxiang said.

Wang Ren probably didn't know where Xiang Wenxu lived.

Well, it doesn't matter if you know it or not.No matter what, Xiang Wenxu wanted to check it out.Even if the ledger is really there, he has no reason to go to someone else's house and rummage through it.Unless he can find evidence that can prove that the other party needs to check.

Before Yinxiang and Wang Ren had the opportunity to go to Wenxu's home, they first waited for Lin Jing who rushed back from the capital, and Lin Ruhai's sad news.

After more than half a month, Lin Ruhai couldn't hold on anymore.Fortunately, he survived to see his adopted son for the last time.

At this time, Lin Ruhai felt sincerely that he was really right to adopt this son in time.Otherwise, if he lets go, let alone the case of Guan Yan, how will his only daughter live?He is really worried about giving full power to Jia Mu.Asking her to bring her upbringing is already that kind of result. If the only daughter is really allowed to bring the Lin family's wealth to Jia's mansion, there will be no bones left after being gnawed.

When Jia Min married to the Lin Mansion, she once told him about the things in the Jia Mansion. Jia Min was favored by Jia’s mother in the Jia Mansion. The Wang family of Jia Zheng's wife.Not only was suppressed by her mother-in-law, Jia Mu, but also a lot of anger by Jia Min.When I saw her, I wanted to take a detour.Therefore, the relationship between the two can be said to be quite poor.Then how could she be nice to Lin Daiyu?

Mother Jia loved Lin Daiyu for a while, but she couldn't love her for a lifetime.What's more, Lin Ruhai couldn't accept the way the old lady loved her.

Even if he left at this time, with Lin Jing around, Lin Daiyu would not suffer any grievances.The only thing he worries about now is the unresolved official salt case.

Before Lin Ruhai left, he was sober for a while, which can be said to be a flashback.The whole person blushed and shouted Lin Jing into the room, chatted for a long time, and didn't know what to say.When Lin Jing came out with tears in her eyes, Lin Ruhai was already lying down with a smile on her lips.

The Lin family suddenly cried and shouted, and Lin Daiyu even fainted from crying.Lin Jing sent someone to take the girl to the backyard to rest, and then began to arrange the funeral.

Packed up Lin Ruhai's body and moved it to the coffin at the front door of the main room.Posting the obituary, keeping the spirit, Lin Jing did everything right.The Lin family was also a well-known family a hundred years ago, but it is a pity that the descendants have withered since the inheritance, and now there is only a man like Lin Jing who supports the scene. He has not grown up in stature, and he is even thinner after wearing filial piety clothes. Unfortunately, there is no one to rely on.

Wang Ren came to pay his respects after receiving the obituary, but Yin Xiang didn't come and was immersed in the investigation.

When they entered the main room, they saw Lin Jing kneeling beside him in filial piety, and Wang Ren bowed to the coffin.At this time, a thin girl walked out from behind the door curtain, wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and then knelt down beside Lin Jing.

Just as Lin Jing was about to speak, she was stopped by the woman: "Brother, my sister never did anything for my father in the past, and now she is negligent in management and has made a big mistake. It is shameless to see my father again. But at least, my sister wants to be here Give it to my father." Before finishing speaking, the teardrops rolled down to the ground like beads with a broken thread.

Lin Jing sighed helplessly, and said in a low voice: "I will take care of my father's affairs. My sister doesn't have to worry about it, just take care of her own body. And that incident wasn't my sister's fault in the first place. You can't prevent it even if you are afraid of it." Sister, don't blame yourself, brother will seek justice for you and father." Finally, he gritted his teeth.

Lin Daiyu wiped her tears and lowered her head silently.The filial hat on his head was pressed down to cover most of his face, only to see tears keep falling.

Wang Ren turned his head, just in time to see a small official who had never seen him come to pay his respects. Although his movements were saluting to Lin Ruhai's coffin, his eyes glanced at Lin Daiyu from time to time, with a look of color on his face.

Wang Ren scrutinized the man's face carefully, and frowned.Then immediately relaxed again.

Maybe he's hit the nail on the head with this case.
