Chapter 103 I will plan!

"What, you need a debt?"

Everyone present was shocked and stared at Li Zhao, looking up and down, suspecting that he was either a little lunatic or had taken the wrong medicine before going out, otherwise how could he dare to ask Ning Wang Qiansui for debt?

Ning Wang himself was also stunned and dug his ears hard, wondering if he had heard it wrong?

As it turned out, King Ning Li Chengqi heard it correctly. Li Zhao took out a large stack of IOUs and placed it on the white marble table. He was here to ask for debt today.

"A bold and crazy man, dare to offend my Qiansui Master. Come and take him down and take him down, first, and then send him to Zongzheng Temple for punishment!"

"promise!"

The guards of the royal palace rushed forward and controlled Li Zhao firmly, so they were ready to take him down to beat the board.

Li Zhao didn't resist, but just stared at King Ning calmly. Now that he could only bet on a gamble, he bet that Qiansui was like recorded in history books: humble, filial and friendly, gentle and elegant, and a good old man!

The bet is right, everything is easy to say!

I've been betting wrong, let's talk about it in the next life!

"Slowly move, bring it back, the saint said: You must be punished without teaching, whether it is right or wrong, let him finish his words!"

"promise!"

God blessed me, this bet won. King Ning waved his hand and the guards brought Li Zhao back.

"Thank you for being magnanimous. What I want to say is: Shen Er, the third steward of your mansion, often bullies the weak under the banner of Prince Ning, forcing him to buy and sell, and extort property. He has many persecuted him in Chang'an City, and the people complain. Not only that, Shen Er also accepted bribes, acted as a blessing, made friends with officials, and discussed state affairs privately... There are countless bad deeds, so please make a decision!"

This paragraph of preface was carefully compiled by Li Zhao. Although he didn't speak much, every word was like a knife, which penetrated people's hearts!

I believe that after hearing this, King Ning will be furious, and Shen Bapi will be in great trouble.

"There is such a matter. Someone is here. I will bring Shen Er here immediately. I will interrogate him personally!"

As expected, King Ning's face became gloomy. You should know that among the royal kings, King Ning is the oldest and has the highest status, so he should play an example.

Now the third housekeeper of the Ning Prince's Mansion is bullying the weak and extorting money and property from the people. Isn't this to smear King Ning... It's okay to smear King Ning's face, but Shen Er dares to make friends with officials and discuss state affairs in private, which is a big taboo.

You should know that since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, in order to compete for the throne, the Li family has killed each other, and the palace coups have occurred one after another, and I don’t know how many human tragedies have caused!

It is precisely because of the cruelty of the power struggle that Li Chengqi resigned from the position of crown prince and was willing to be a prince of peace, eat, drink, have fun, and live a carefree life. At the same time, he adhered to two red lines of self-protection: one is that he never cares about military and national affairs, and the other is that he never makes friends with important officials of the court.

In order to prove to the world, especially to Li Longji, who has no interest in imperial power and has no desire to rebel!

Unexpectedly, the red line that I had been holding on to for decades was broken by a consecrated slave in the royal palace. Is this worth it?

...

The guard went down to send an order. After a moment, two figures came to the back garden. One was the flower Tai Sui-Wei Renzha with floating steps and green eyes, and the other was Shen Er!

Shen Er had been a housekeeper in the royal palace for many years, and had many ears under his command. He had already secretly told Shen Er about what happened in the back garden, which scared him.

Unexpectedly, someone dared to complain to King Ning after taking the courage of Xiong Xin and leopard. What should I do?

Shen Er was guilty and quickly found his backer: Huahua Tai Sui - Wei Renzha. Then the two of them came to the back garden together.

"I pay homage to the prince, Qiansui, Qiansui!"

"Defying slave, do you know your guilt?"

"Master Qiansui, I don't know!"

"Hmph, someone sued you for bullying the weak, buying and selling forcing you, extorting money and property, doing everything you want, and making friends with court officials in private. What else do you have to say?"

"Master Qiansui, it's unfair. Since entering the palace, I have been serving my masters diligently. I dare not make any mistakes, let alone forcing them to buy and sell them, and blackmail the people's property. If Master Qiansui doesn't believe it, I can send someone to check the account book. If there is any mistake, I will die without any complaints, wuwu!"

Shen Er knelt on the ground, crying with tears in his eyes, as if he had suffered a huge grievance.

This is a problem. Li Zhao said that Shen Er forced himself to buy and sell, and blackmailed the people's property. The latter strongly denied it. How to tell the truth and wrong? There is only one way: check the account!

The account books of the Ning Wang Mansion in the past three years have been brought in. There are two large boxes, and there are eight accountants, all of whom are masters of calculation.

With a command, the eight people began to take action to check whether the account book was fraudulent. The tool they used was to calculate the foundation, which was a pile of five-inch-long wooden sticks, placed on the ground in two ways.

The counting method is: use vertical form for single digits, horizontal form for ten digits, vertical form for hundreds digits, horizontal form for thousands digits, and empty when zero... and so on, it can represent any large natural number.

This calculation tool appeared in the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period and has been spread to the Tang Dynasty. It can help people calculate complicated accounts, but it is troublesome to use and requires constantly fiddling with small wooden sticks... If you accidentally bump the small wooden sticks, you have to start over.

In this way, the eight accountants started working together. After a whole hour, they finally checked the account book of the royal palace. The result was: the accounts were clear and there was no problem!

"Haha, the bold madman dared to slander someone and falsely accused the loyal servant of the royal palace... People come, tie this kid up and sent him to Zongzheng Temple to sue him for false accusation!" Huahua Tai Sui was in a state of spirit and ordered the guards to tie Li Zhao up and ask for guilt, but the guards around him did not move.

It is said that there are thousands of people in the family, and one person in charge, and Ning Qiansui is on the spot. It is not the turn of Huahua Tai Sui to issue orders. This is the rule!

However, everyone's eyes were gathered on Li Zhao to see how he answered. If he couldn't tell the story of Chou Yin and Mao, he would be afraid that he would go to Zongzheng Temple to visit him.

"Haha, I'm in a mess, snakes and rats are in a nest. With such a check-up book, I naturally can't find any problem... Master Qiansui, I'm not talented, I want to check the account book myself. If I can't find the problem, then let it go and there will be no complaints!"

When checking the account book just now, Li Zhao saw it clearly next to him:

First of all, Shen Er is indeed a little capable and has done the accounts very cleverly, and most people really can't find any problems.

Secondly, these eight accountants are all from the royal palace, namely Shen Er's subordinates. Eight out of ten of them also participated in the sharing of the spoils and asked them to check the accounts. Even if there is any problem, they have to check it as no problem!

Therefore, Li Zhao asked to check the account book personally, and if he didn't believe it, he would not find any problems.

"Bold madman, Qiansui Master's time is so precious. If you have time to be slow with you, you will not admit your guilt and punish the law. If you think about the relationship between the same sect, you can also get a lighter sentence!" Huahua Tai Sui spoke again, but what she said was somewhat reasonable.

The two big boxes of account books, eight accountants worked together, and it took only one hour to calculate it. If Li Zhao checked it alone, what time should he count?

The dignified Ning Wang Qiansui did nothing and just stared at him and waited?

"The time of a thousand years is precious, so how dare I delay it, it only takes half an hour."

"What, in half an hour, you can check the account book?"

"Yes, within half an hour, I can complete the verification. If I can't do it, I'm willing to go to Zongzheng Temple to collect the crime!"

Li Zhao had already expected the matter of checking the accounts and immediately took out a small golden nanmu abacus from his waist.

Recently, I have been running a business of refining refined salt with the Wang family, and there are many accounts that need to be calculated. Therefore, Li Zhao personally made a small abacus, which happened to be used today.

In terms of computing power, abacus is much easier to use than calculation sheets!

"Two one adds five...every two enters ten...4 enters twenty...6 enters thirty..." Li Zhao sat cross-legged, flipped the account book with one hand and made a plan with the other. With his ability to use one mind and two minds, he quickly checked the accounts.

I have to admit that Shen Er has some skills and has very clever accounts. On the surface, it seems that it is easy to miss.

But don’t forget that Li Zhao is a top student at Wudaokou Vocational and Technical School. He is not only proficient in mechanical manufacturing, but also has also studied economics and finance courses. It is not a piece of cake to check such accounts. A problem was soon found:

Now in the East City of Chang'an, a high-quality purple-cooked cotton silk (high-end silk fabrics are the raw materials for official uniforms of third-grade or above), costing about 2,600 yuan. If the purchase quantity is huge, the price can be much cheaper!

The account book also has 2,600 yuan per piece, which seems to be fine, but don’t forget that Ning Wangfu’s family has a great fortune and bought 300 purple-cooked cotton silk at one time. According to the rules, at least 20% off, which can save about 156,000 yuan.

But I didn’t save this money. Is it really impossible to save it, or did I get into someone’s pocket?

The second problem: In June, Ning Wangfu bought 30,000 kilograms of high-quality silver frost charcoal, and then reported that it was wet from the rain and was unbearable to use, so it was removed from the account book.

But Li Zhao clearly remembers that the weather this summer is hot, especially near Chang'an, where there is no drop of rain in June, so how can the saying that there is moisture?

The 30,000 kilograms of silver frost charcoal must have been sold by Shen Er!

There are still several accounts with obvious signs of alteration, one becomes two, two becomes three, and three becomes five...

Whenever a fake account was found, Li Zhao would mark it with a brush.

And every time a mark is marked, Shen Er's face looks a little ugly.

Half an hour later, the two large boxes and accounts were checked, and there were also marks on them. Looking at Shen Er next to him, he was sweating and trembling all over, and he sat down on the ground with his butt!

It's over, now it's all over!
Chapter completed!
