Lang Jun is coming

"My lord, the Minister of the Household Department sent someone to send something, saying that it is the account of the Great Court Council that you left there in the first month."

The three of them were thinking about Yang Qiyu pretending to be his cousin Yang Ping Han Jingcheng's household registration, when they suddenly heard Zhu He's voice coming from outside the screen.

The voice was full of puzzlement, and Chen Juncong's calm face finally wiped a smile, and teased in a low voice, "Brother Weisong, Zhu He is so upright, why are you so relieved to let him take over the seat of Tai Changqing?"

Meng Ruanqing didn't take it seriously, "It's better to be straight than crooked. At least it's not dark."

In the later stage of restructuring, Pei Lian will definitely be transferred, and will not be confined to the post of Tai Changqing.I don't know how his fox brought out a buffalo.

Zhu He was standing behind the screen holding the ledger, but instead of being let in by his boss, he heard the laughter of Chen Shaoqing and Meng Shaojian inside, with his name vaguely on it?

What made him even more speechless was that Li Yuanshi didn't ask for anything from Taichang Temple, but instead sent the Dachaohui account book that was out of date for three months.He looked at the ledger, and it was indeed stamped with the official seals of Taichang Temple and Pei Lian.

He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't even realize that Pei Lian had been standing in front of him through the screen and watching him for a long time, until something hit the headrest heavily.

"Big...adult..."

Zhu He raised his head suddenly and took a step back intimidated by his immediate superior, who was close at hand, and quickly lowered his head to straighten his crooked head.

Pei Lian was still holding the copper ruler for cutting rice paper, and spread his right hand on the screen, "Bring it here."

Zhu He hurriedly handed over the ledger and watched Pei Lian sit back on the wooden chair.

"Zhu Shaoqing don't mind."

Chen Juncong endured the hard work, even though he put on a serious face, there was still a smile slipping out from the corners of his brows and eyes.He was dressed in a crimson official uniform and smiled, showing his dignity like a gentleman, making Zhu He dazzled.

"Zhongwei." Meng Ruanqing caught a glimpse from the corner of his eye, quickly walked around the screen and inserted himself between the two, Zhu He, who was crowded, took another step back, and when he raised his head again, Chen Shaoqing's smile was completely blocked by Meng Shaojian.

Detained in the Secretary's Office on weekdays, Meng Ruan eliminated Chen Juncong and Pei Lian, and had little contact with the officials of the Nine Temples, and he was even less familiar with Zhu He, but no matter how he looked at it at this time, he felt that this person was an eyesore.

Zhu He stood in a daze and was sized up by Meng Ruanqing before he heard the other party speak.

"Do you know why your boss beat you?"

This question is very good, and Zhu He also wants to know.He was of the same rank as Meng Ruan, and he was less reserved than Pei Lian, so he approached him quietly and asked, "Why?"

The other party walked along the hook, and Meng Ruanqing said no longer politely: "Knock you, maybe someday you will be enlightened."

enlightened?

Zhu He touched the place where his head was smashed just now, but he still couldn't understand, but at least this time it was definitely not a boast.

Before he could figure it out, Chen Juncong stretched out his finger and poked back, "Speak as you speak, why are you so close?"

"Near...near?"

Zhu He looked at the distance between himself and Meng Ruanqing, about three steps away.On the other hand, the two in front of them wanted to stick their chests to their backs.When did Daheng's colleagues become so close?

Pei Lian didn't pay attention to the scene where Zhu He was run over by two of his friends.The account book is real, but it seems to be a bit heavy in the hand, and the fingertips are stroked over it, and I feel that the thickness is abnormal.

When Chen Juncong and Meng Ruanqing sat back on their chairs again, they saw Pei Lian taking a thin copper ruler and cutting the hard shell of the ledger from the pages inside little by little.

The ledger is almost as long as an arm, and every expense is neatly recorded.

Meng Ruanqing touched the corner of the ledger, feeling sticky between his fingers. He sniffed it closer, and the slightly pungent smell was very familiar, so he firmly said: "The wood glue is still fresh."

He worked with books all the year round in the Secretary's Department, and used it when repairing classics, so the Secretary's Department kept wood glue all year round.Recently, during the ten-year overhaul of national history, wood glue is used even more diligently.

After the copper ruler completely separated the inner pages of the account book from the hard shell, Meng Ruanqing couldn't help laughing when he saw the exposed objects: "It's really a secret."

I saw a piece of paper placed along the crease between the inner page and the hard shell, on which there was a clear list, which was actually the integration of the personnel relationship between the main family and the outer family of the Yang family.

"So far in detail, it really cannot be done without the Ministry of Household Affairs."

Chen Juncong sighed.How his friend hinted at Li Yuanshi is unknown, but Li Yuanshi's work is indeed reliable.The most important thing is that except for the money, other things are done very neatly.

The household registrations of the various prefectures in the Heng Dynasty had to be kept in addition to the local prefects, and a copy had to be handed over to the capital, and all of them were collected in the household department for safekeeping.

Don't talk about finding out the relationship between Yang Pinghan and Yang Qiyu. As far as household registration is concerned, once the household department makes a move, let alone three generations of ancestors, the family's underwear can be stripped clean for you.

On that piece of paper, from how the Yang family made their fortune, how many generations until now, who is the current patriarch, and how many people in Yang Qiyu's generation, there is no omission.

Pei Lian picked up the cinnabar pen for office work, found Yang Pinghan and Yang Qiyu on the paper, and drew a circle quite boldly.

The bright red cinnabar blends with the yellowish rice paper.Pei Lian's tense expression finally eased, and he leaned back on the wooden chair, holding a cup of tea and crossing his legs, very comfortable to analyze.

"Yang Ping Han is twenty-six, and Yang Qiyu is twenty-three. The age difference is not big, and it is completely possible to pretend."

The most important point was already clear. Meng Ruanqing glanced at it roughly, but his focus was slightly off.

"When it was Taizong, Yang Qiyu's father inherited the family business as the eldest son, and Yang Pinghan's father was the second son. With his own business acumen, he moved to the capital and took root. His household registration was changed from Dingzhou to the capital. But it's a pity..."

At the end, Meng Ruanqing looked very sorry.

Pei Lian and Chen Juncong were puzzled for a moment, and asked almost at the same time, "What's the pity?"

Meng Ruanqing spread her hands and shook her head, "It's a pity that the family has a great career, but in the end the number of people is small, and there are only Yang Qiyu and Yang Pinghan in this generation."

Pei Lian: "..."

Chen Juncong: "..."

The atmosphere froze a little because of this off-track topic, and finally Chen Juncong said: "Since the officials want to catch Yang Qiyu as an imposter in the imperial examinations, use Liu Xiang as a means of reforming the system, and pierce the window paper, but it cannot be done by the officials and us, otherwise it will be too deliberate. .”

"That's right." Meng Ruanqing took up the conversation, confidently assuring, "Let's not talk about how the window paper was pierced. I can check Liu Xiang for you before the palace exam."
