Whether the ruler and the ministers give or receive

It's late at night, all the dignitaries and nobles have gone shopping in brothels, why are they still wandering on this street, this person is out of his mind to sell himself on this street.

"Officers and soldiers are here." Someone yelled, and the crowd who had been watching immediately dispersed and fled in all directions, leaving only Lan Ziyu standing in the middle of the road and "Xiaosheng" kneeling beside him.

"Go away, don't stand in the way of the official." The guard's voice was so vicious that Lan Ziyu couldn't help but feel displeased.

The servant who can have such a rampant tone is probably someone from General Ding'an's mansion in the south of the city.Looking at the mahogany sedan chair, Lan Ziyu almost guessed it in her heart.

"Bold and unreasonable, you actually stand in the way of my imperial court officer. You don't want to live anymore." The leading guard saw that Lan Ziyu was standing in the middle of the road and didn't seem to want to get out of the way. throw it.Lan Ziyu was hesitating whether to get out of the way, when the "Xiaosheng" beside him suddenly stood up and grabbed the whip that was being thrown quickly with his bare hands.

Seeing this, Lan Ziyu had a deep smile on his face.The skill of this "Xiaosheng" is getting better and better, he sighed in his heart.

"Ordered by the imperial court? Just like this to bully the people?" The man spoke neither humble nor overbearing, and he seemed to be a different person in a blink of an eye, not at all like the thin scholar who was squatting on the ground and crying just now.

"What happened?" A charming voice came, but Lan Ziyu wasn't surprised at all.It seems that the person sitting in this sedan chair must be the eldest daughter of the general, Lin Zixia.

Sure enough, the curtain of the sedan chair was lifted, revealing a beautiful face, wearing a goose-yellow dress with a yellow goose feather stuck on top of her head.

"Miss Hui, there are unruly people blocking the passage of the sedan chair." The guard suddenly changed his face and stood respectfully in front of the sedan chair, looking like a dog leg.

Lin Zixia walked towards this side, and happened to meet Lan Ziyu's eyes. At that moment, Lan Ziyu seemed to see the fire in her eyes, and she moved her eyes to the side. Sure enough, this life is too handsome Not good, messing with flowers and grass everywhere.

"Forget it, let's make a detour." The woman got into the sedan chair with a smile, and she didn't forget to glance at Lan Ziyu before, as if she was reluctant to part with her.At this glance, Lan Ziyu's whole body became numb.

"Master, let me tell you, she must have taken a fancy to you." The "Xiaosheng" next to him couldn't help but say something.Lan Ziyu tapped his head with a fan.

That's right, this Xiaosheng is the housekeeper in his mansion, and today's farce was already in his expectation.Lan Ziyu had a thought-provoking smile. He found out early today that Lin Zixia's sedan chair would pass here tonight. He came here today for no other reason than to make the girl fall in love with him at first sight. , this Lin Zixia is the general's favorite daughter, she is very talented at a young age, and the current emperor praised her very much.If Lan Ziyu could confuse her, she would certainly have seized General Ding'an's handle.

"Stupid, are the talents in the master's family worth fifty cents?" Lan Ziyu watched the sedan chair go around in a good mood. When the sedan chair passed by, a goose yellow handkerchief fell out and landed on Lan Ziyu. in front of.

"How much will the servant write next time?" The young man continued to ask.

"500 taels." Lan Ziyu picked up the handkerchief and threw it into his sleeve.He waved to the sedan chair going away, and continued, "Gold."

This time, "Xiaosheng" is not calm anymore, the petrochemical has been in place for a long time, the master is extorting money, 500 taels of gold, how expensive that is.Later, when I thought about it, I was quite valuable, so I couldn't help but smile again.

When Lan Ziyu returned to the mansion, Mo Ruqing was still not in the house, and when he asked someone to bring in a lot of food, Mo Ruqing appeared in the lobby.He seemed to be in a hurry, and his hair was messed up.I don't know where I went, Lan Ziyu wanted to ask, but she held back and didn't open her mouth.

"Why did you buy so many things?" Mo Ruqing couldn't help turning dark when he saw the table was full and the things piled on the ground.How much money would that cost.

"Tomorrow there will be a lot of customers coming, so let's order some neighborhood snacks just to make sure it's fresh." Lan Ziyu said as he packed his things. In fact, he was thinking more about what he wanted to eat, but there were quite a few shopkeepers who knew him. For the richest man, it's shameful to buy such a small amount of food, so he bought a big bag of each.

"This is the sugar ball from the west of the city, this is the sesame paste from the wine shop, this is..." Lan Ziyu counted and tasted a couple of mouthfuls, and it really tasted good.

"Guest? Why haven't I heard of it?" Mo Ruqing continued to ask. Since arriving here, the butler has been replaced by a shrewd young man who doesn't tell him anything. Thinking about it, he still misses Uncle Chen and tells him everything. , unlike today he is the only one buried in the drum.

"I don't know who is coming. Go to sleep today, and I will tell you in detail tomorrow." Lan Ziyu pushed Mo Ruqing out of the lobby, then turned and walked in.At this time, Mo Ruqing remembered that Lan Ziyu said that he would gather the managers of the various companies in the morning, so he probably thought too much. After thinking about it, he glanced at Lan Ziyu who was still stealing food, and smiled helplessly. Turn around and leave gradually.

After Mo Ruqing left, there was another person beside Lan Ziyu, who was none other than the young housekeeper dressed as a "Xiaosheng" on the street.

"Treasurer Nian has been rescued from Liu Shilang's residence." The young man stood beside him and reported solemnly.

"This is the account book of the three shops. You can make a fake one and put it in the shop. The shopkeeper Nian will be placed in Nanyuan first." Lan Ziyu didn't show any expression, just threw the things in her arms to the young butler, and After wrapping the last thing to eat, he walked out of the lobby, but at this time, there was no one in the lobby, and all the candles were extinguished in an instant.

In the early morning, when the first rooster crowed, Lan Ziyu was awakened by a loud noise.Speaking of which, he was quite angry when he got up, but then he realized that it was he himself who told those people to come earlier, so he couldn't help feeling resentful, so he quickly washed up and walked towards the lobby.

There were a lot of people coming, a total of 60 people, packed the entire lobby and vestibule, the flowers and plants in the vestibule had been withdrawn long ago, otherwise these people would have died a few times, these 60 people were all from the Lan family all over the capital Every business manager is very shrewd.

"Master, all the sixty ledgers are here." An older man ordered someone to pile up a thick stack of ledgers in front of Lan Ziyu.

"But I heard that three ledgers were stolen from us the day before yesterday, so there should be three less of the sixty." Lan Ziyu said indifferently, but she was like a bright mirror in her heart, waiting for the other party's answer.

"My lord, this is purely a rumor from the outside world. The account books are all here. How could there be three missing?" Fearing that someone was guilty, one person had already stood up. To be correct, the person who spoke was the person who spoke on the road of the imperial city master. Shopkeeper Li of the bookstore.

"Really." Lan Ziyu spoke slowly, as if waiting for something. These people were very nervous. For so many years, Lan Ziyu sent people to check the account books. He checked the accounts himself, and these people couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

While everyone was waiting anxiously, they suddenly heard a noise outside the door, accompanied by the sound of horseshoes and weapons.Lan Ziyu naturally understood in her heart, there was a wicked smile on her face, no one else saw it, but Mo Ruqing who was sitting by the side could see it clearly.

The person who was waiting finally came.

Before Lan Ziyu could open his mouth, there was a violent knocking sound. As soon as Lan Ziyu got up, the heavy gate was knocked open by a thick wooden stake. Lan Ziyu's eyes were filled with displeasure. If the mahogany is broken, he will feel distressed.

All of a sudden, before everyone reacted, the entire vestibule was surrounded by a large group of guards.I saw a middle-aged man in armor walking in with a serious look on his face.

"Hey, Mr. Sun, don't come here without any harm." Seeing this, Lan Ziyu hurriedly stepped forward, knelt down and saluted.It's just that the smile on his face never stopped.

"I don't know what advice Mr. Sun has given when he came to the humble house today?" Lan Ziyu added.Just wait for the other party to speak.

"Someone reported that Lan Ziyu, the richest man in Tiansheng Kingdom, colluded with officials, ran shops with black hands, and evaded more than 1000 million taels of tax. I came today to arrest you." Mr. Sun spoke very smoothly, and this line seemed to be recited countless times in his heart. Over and over, blurted out.

Lan Ziyu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, the enemy is coming to his door, how can he have any reason to back down, and then he returned: "I don't know where Mr. Sun got the evidence to prove that the grassroots colluded with the officials?"

What the other party was thinking in his heart, he could more or less understand. If he guessed right, Mr. Sun stole the three store books in order to let them steal the fake account books back, but the other party He never thought that he would have already changed positions and ledgers.He also heard about the collusion between these three shops and officials recently, so he ordered someone to make a new account book for the shop to replace it, so that it is today.

"These three ledgers belong to your shop." Master Sun threw the three ledgers in front of Lan Ziyu who was kneeling on the ground with a smile on his face.

Lan Ziyu shouted injustice within less than a page: "My lord, the account books of my Lan Ziyu shop are all printed with a peach blossom seal on the last page. This account book is not the grassroots." The person who said it was extremely sad and indignant.

"Oh? Can I check your account books to see if it's purely a rumor or if it's true?" Mr. Sun also had a deep smile on his face, as if he had been waiting for this moment.Lan Ziyu couldn't help cursing the old fox from the bottom of her heart, but she was also happy, it was just a trick, as long as the deer dies.

"This..." Lan Ziyu seemed to be hesitant, so that he could make the other party more proud. When he saw Master Sun squinting at him, he immediately jumped up.

"Yes yes yes, please take a look." Lan Ziyu just felt that her knees hurt from kneeling, so she stood up for this reason and moved the account book over to Mr. Sun.

Mr. Sun was not that easy to fool, he immediately invited three people in to check the accounts, and he was smiling, waiting to see Lan Ziyu fall into his hands.

Lan Ziyu was not in a bad mood, anyway, the other party couldn't find anything, so he stood up and distributed the snacks he brought back yesterday to everyone. Knowing the purpose of the other party's visit, I'm afraid it will take a day, but he has plenty of time.

It was almost noon, the sun was shining, and the faces of the three auditors were covered with beads of sweat, and their abacus was very loud.It wasn't until Lan Ziyu had eaten almost everything that an old man opened his mouth.

"Reporting to my lord, I have checked it here, and there is no problem."

"The minister is too."

"The minister is also here." Seeing someone stand up first.The other two also stood up.

In an instant, Master Sun's complexion became unsightly. "Have you checked carefully?" With a roar, the three immediately knelt down.

"I have checked three times before and after, but there is no problem." The old minister continued.

At this time, Mr. Sun, who had been standing outside for a long time, couldn't help but change his expression, and looked at Lan Ziyu angrily.

"This account is also checked, Mr. Sun, do you want to have a cup of tea before leaving?" Lan Ziyu's grinning mouth pierced Mr. Sun's eyes.It is not easy for him, Lan Ziyu, to live for so long.

"Hmph, no need, I still have important matters to deal with." The man waved his robe, and the guards of the brigade followed immediately.After a while, the sound of horseshoes gradually disappeared at the end of the alley.

Lan Ziyu, who was originally smiling, turned black instantly after the voice disappeared.
