MTL - Long Wind Crossing-Chapter 90
Liu Yuru saw Gu Jiusi jumping up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and couldn't help laughing: "I haven't said anything yet, why are you so excited?"
Gu Jiusi was a little short of breath when he said this, he sat down embarrassedly, and said in a low voice: "Your eyes make me hairy, aren't I scared?"
Liu Yuru raised her hand and poked him: "Being a thief has a guilty conscience."
"I really don't have one."
Gu Jiusi was a little aggrieved.
Liu Yuru didn't bother with him any more, and replied with Yinhong: "Go back and speak to the envoy, I will go in a while."
Yin Hong responded, Liu Yuru turned her head and stared at Gu Jiusi, Gu Jiusi looked at her with bulging eyes, and after they stared at each other for a long time, Liu Yuru laughed out loud and left a sentence, "Being a thief with a guilty conscience. ', then got up and went to work.
Gu Jiu was thinking about Jiang He, but he didn't dare to rush in. He just asked Ye Shian to secretly go to the prison to inquire.
Jiang He is now locked inside, because no one is paying attention, that is, he is living a normal life without any punishment, and his life is okay. Gu Jiusi asked people to send money to the jailer, brought some quilts to the cell, and improved the food, and then Gu Jiusi felt relieved.
Jiang He's matter must be mentioned, but he can't mention it, the emperor must take the initiative to ask. Gu Jiusi checked the accounts during the day, and when he took the accounts to Lu Yong, the minister of households, he was still thinking about it.
To appease the people, each local county government has its own emergency plan, and inventory inventory has become the most important thing for the Ministry of Households.
Gu Jiusi and everyone counted the ledger from the previous dynasty, and it was only clear today that he held the ledger, stood in front of Lu Yong, and seriously reported the results.
Lu Yong looks nearly seventy years old, with gray hair, but in good spirits. He is a capable minister under Fan Xuan. In the past, he had been in charge of finance and tax affairs in Youzhou for decades, and he was very trusted by Fan Xuan. Now Fan Xuan is training Gu Jiusi, in fact, to take Lu Yong's class.
This person is not only Gu Jiusi's boss, but also half a master in front of him. After all, Fan Xuan has said many times that he wants him to "lead" Gu Jiusi.
The so-called “belt belt” means that everything that should be taught must be taught.
But Lu Yong was full of words in front of Fan Xuan, and when he turned back, he seemed to have forgotten everything, and had little communication with Gu Jiusi.
Gu Jiusi finished reporting the accounts, Lu Yong turned the pages one by one, and finally said slowly: "Just make it clear, you are also tired, go down first."
Gu Jiusi was stunned for a while, the accounts were clear, the next step was to take these accounts to check the warehouse, he was ready, but Lu Yong let him go back?
Gu Jiusi was a little dazed, looked up at Lu Yong, and asked suspiciously, "Sir, won't you check the warehouse?"
Lu Yong took the ledger and frowned. He raised his eyes to look at Gu Jiusi, and said with some dissatisfaction: "I didn't ask you to check, why are you asking more?"
"Master Gu really thinks more," Liu Chun, the secretary of Cangbe next to him, laughed, but there was no smile in his eyes, he just said, "Master Lu didn't even think about it, but Master Gu I thought about it first. If Master Gu wants to check the warehouse department, he should say it in advance."
Gu Jiusi listened to Liu Chun's words and understood that Liu Chun was looking for trouble for him.
Lu Yong didn't expect it, but he thought of it, which obviously means that it's not his.
He was silent for a moment, then smiled slowly: "Sharing the worries of the adults is what the subordinates should do. Do you have to beat him to move. How tired is Mr. Lu? People are people after all. , I'm not a mule, I can't move without scolding, isn't this so cheap?"
"Who are you calling a mule?!"
Gu Jiusi said with a bewildered expression: "I said mule, not you, what are you excited about, Mr. Liu?"
"You..."
"It's a pity to stay in the Ministry of Household with such a good eloquence as Mr. Gu."
Lu Yong finally spoke, he put down the ledger, raised his eyes, looked at Gu Jiusi calmly, and said slowly: "Your Majesty often praises Master Gu for his talent and intelligence, which can be made. Dongliang, but I see that Master Gu is not suitable for the Ministry of Household, and it is very good to go to the censor's desk, why don't I advise Your Majesty to let Master Gu go to the censor's desk?"
When Gu Jiusi heard Lu Yong's words, he finally didn't say anything.
He looked at Lu Yong quietly and greeted Lu Yong's calm eyes. After a long time, Gu Jiusi laughed lightly: "I'm bothering you, sir. Are you sure you won't go to the warehouse for inventory today?"
"Go," Lu Yong said calmly, "but it has nothing to do with Master Gu, it's a matter of Cangbu, the old man can go with Master Liu."
"The officer understands."
Gu Jiusi respectfully said: "Then the official said goodbye."
Gu Jiusi bowed and left, and after he left, Liu Chun snorted and said to Lu Yong: "What the heck, look at how proud he is, it's not because of His Majesty's favor, you see Does he still care about you?"
Lu Yong didn't speak, he stood up and said indifferently: "Go and count the library silver."
Speaking, there was a bit of warning in Lu Yong's expression: "Have you been instructed?"
"It's all ready," Liu Chun said in a low voice, "I'll just wait for you to check the money."
Lu Yong nodded and led Liu Chun away.
Gu Jiusi went back to his desk and lowered his head. He was still reading the documents that need to be processed. After reading for a while, he felt indignant, grabbed the paper and drew two large drawings. Wang Ba, wrote the names of Lu Yong and Liu Chun, and finally calmed down.
Said: "Didn't Master Lu go to take inventory of Kuyin today and leave so soon?"
"Go back early."
The **** guarding the gate waved his hand: "You are the latest."
Gu Jiusi nodded, he always felt a little strange.
When she returned home, Liu Yuru had just returned. Yunyun is about to bring Huarong's people to Dongdu, and Liu Yuru and Ye Yun are very busy looking for shops and decorations.
When Gu Jiusi was washing his feet at night, he said this to Liu Yuru: "This poor old man, when he comes every day, he says that he is old and lacks physical strength, that he wakes up later, and who is better when he leaves. They all run fast. The least things are done, and the most words are said. At such an old age, if you don’t take good care of your health, what do you do to meddle in the affairs of young people?”
Liu Yuru listened to his complaints, handed him a handkerchief, Gu Jiusi wiped his feet, and said with emotion: "But the old man is still amazing, 40 million taels of silver, and it will be counted in one afternoon. know how."
"What did you say?" Liu Yuru has always been sensitive to money. Hearing this number, she couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise, "Forty million twenty-one is finished in the afternoon?"
"Ah, yes," Gu Jiusi nodded, "what do you look like?"
"Impossible," Liu Yuru frowned, "Even if you add all of your household members, it's impossible to count 40 million in one afternoon. He's fooling others that they haven't counted. Where's the silver?"
Gu Jiusi froze when he heard this, he stopped, looked up and said, "Are you sure?"
"Absolutely impossible." Liu Yuru rolled her eyes, "You don't know how long it took me to load money from Yangzhou and board the ship at that time."
Gu Jiusi didn't say anything, he frowned and thought about something, Liu Yuru lowered her head and folded things, nagging him about trivial matters while folding.
Gu Jiusi was thinking about something, and when he went to the Ministry of Housing early the next day, he went to find Lu Yong.
Seeing that he didn't have a good face, Lu Yong entered the room and said, "What's the matter with Gu Shilang?"
"Sir," Gu Jiusi said with a smile, "Is the inventory going well yesterday?"
"Well." Lu Yong replied, "Smooth, is there something wrong with Gu Shilang?"
"No." Lu Yong said decisively, "Go back and do things."
Gu Jiusi stepped back with a smile, and when he left the door, his face turned cold.
In the afternoon, Fan Xuan summoned Lu Yong alone to ask about the account audit. After Lu Yong came back, Gu Jiusi thought about it, and when he returned home in the afternoon, he told Ye Shian. : "Shi'an, don't you see Your Majesty often?"
Ye Shian is under the school of Zhongshu. Because of his outstanding writing skills, he will help Fan Xuan draft some documents from time to time.
Ye Shian frowned when he heard Gu Jiusi's words: "What are you going to do?"
"Find a chance and ask for me," Gu Jiusi looked around, "How much money do we have in the treasury."
"Don't you know this best?"
Ye Shian laughed, but Gu Jiusi didn't answer, just said, "Help me ask, thank you."
Although Ye Shian did not agree, he also took it to heart. He knew that Gu Jiusi would not come to ask these questions for no reason, and he talked to Fan Xuan the next day. Fan Xuan said indifferently, "We still have 30 million taels of silver left in our treasury, so we have to save some money."
After seeing that everyone had left, he took advantage of the darkness and hurriedly walked around to the gate of the treasury.
Gu Jiusi thought, according to his skill, enter the treasury to have a look, wouldn't it be easy?
He thought so and did the same, and even brought Shen Minghao and Ye Shian along. The three of them trotted and climbed to avoid the gatekeeper and rushed to the side of the treasury.
up.
"Master Gu," said one of the strong men, "What are you doing?"
Gu Jiusi was held in the air by two people, squeezed a smile, and reluctantly said: "I, go for a walk."
Speaking, Gu Jiusi pushed the two people away and said with a smile: "The two of you watch carefully, we will take a step first."
Gu Jiusi said while retreating, seeing that there was no response from the two of them, he hurried back.
When he got home, he kept thinking about it all the time, complaining with Liu Yuru, and muttering: "They must be tricky, but Lu Yong is the favorite in front of the emperor, I have to take the evidence ."
Liu Yuru looked at his determined appearance and couldn't help but smile: "Are you taking revenge on him for saying you?"
"Am I such a stingy person?" Gu Jiusi resolutely opened his mouth, he shook the jade pendant hanging from his waist, and pondered, "I just think that if this case is to be investigated, my uncle, Nature is the key."
"How?"
"My uncle was transferred from the Ministry of Household to the Ministry of Officials. The original clerk of the Ministry of Household has already jumped off the tower. My uncle knows best about the warehouse."
Gu Jiu thought about it, and suddenly remembered something: "Are you going to the princess banquet tomorrow?"
"Yeah."
Liu Yuru responded casually, Gu Jiusi clapped her hands violently, and said happily, "I understand, you go and talk to Mrs. Lu tomorrow."
