Rise From the Humble

"What is Zhu Ping'an's grandson going to do? Why did he call the killer star from Dongchang to escort him? Do you think he found something?"

The Taicang group was so frustrated at the Blood-Drying Sword that they didn't even see Zhu Ping'an's face, so they had to return to Zhang Guanku's office room. As soon as they entered the room, Treasurer Liu couldn't help but look solemn and worried. stand up.

"Secretary Liu, why are you worrying so blindly? Which year did you not come to inspect, and which year did you find the problem? Those who should drink drink, and those who should eat meat eat meat. Stop being so suspicious." Zhao Langzhong stretched out his hand. He patted Secretary Liu hard on the shoulder a few times with a nonchalant look on his face.

"But don't you think the past few years are strange? People from Dongchang don't just come here for no reason, right? They must have found something..."

Although Doctor Zhao comforted him, the worry on Secretary Liu's face continued to grow, spinning in circles like a headless fly. Whenever he thought of the bloody sword's sinister and sneering look, Secretary Liu felt like a thorn in his back, and his whole body felt unreasonable. A rush of goosebumps.

"I say Mr. Liu, you are too unfounded to worry. It's not like you don't know who did the accounting in Taicang. That is the famous 'Ghost Hand Zhang' in the accounting field. All the account books that pass through his hands have never been There was no mistake in any of the account books. Even if he called all the accounting offices in the capital to inspect them carefully for ten and a half days, he would never find any problems. "Secretary Qian smiled and shook his head, scorning Secretary Liu's concerns.

"That's right, Mr. Liu, you praise Zhu Pingan too much. Didn't you follow him to see it yesterday? He didn't even fiddle with the abacus. Zhu Pingan can't even do an abacus. You still expect him to check the accounts." ? Haha, let alone checking the accounts, I'm afraid Zhu Ping'an can't even read the account books, otherwise he wouldn't have checked the accounts all day yesterday and only left a piece of ***." Another treasurer also disagreed.

"That's true."

When talking about ***, there was a burst of light laughter in the room, and the worry on Secretary Liu's face gradually dissipated under their persuasion.

"Even so, we can't take it lightly. You, Mr. Jia, are well-informed. Go and find out what's going on with the people in Dongchang."

Zhang Guanku leaned on his chair, and after everyone's laughter stopped, he softly asked Jia Langzhong to go outside and find out why the people from Dongchang suddenly came to Taicang. The Blood-Drying Sword had such a bad reputation that Zhang Guankuo had no choice but to be careless.

Jia Langzhong was a sociable man, good at dancing, and a member of the Yan Party. He could also talk to Yan Shifan. He had many familiar officials in the court and had extensive connections. He was the best informed in Taicang.

"I guess there were too many people from the inspection team, leaving Zhu Pingan alone. The higher-ups are afraid that Zhu Pingan will also give up." Zhao Langzhong said with a smile.

"Haha, Mr. Zhao is right. I guess the people from Dongchang are here to monitor Zhu Ping'an, fearing that he will also run away."

"Yeah, that makes sense. I'm here to monitor him, Zhu Ping'an."

After Zhao Langzhong finished speaking, Treasurer Qian and others in the room all responded with smiles. In their opinion, the reason why the people from Dongchang went to Taicang so hard to come to Taicang must be because the Taicang inspection team had just been established a few days ago, and the five inspection envoys asked Ding You about Ding You. , stroke of stroke, Zhu Pingan was the only one who was beaten with a stick and fell from a horse. The superiors were worried that Zhu Pingan would also give up, so they sent people from Dongchang to shock Zhu Pingan.

After much deliberation, everyone felt that this reason was reliable.

"Don't take it lightly, as the saying goes: if you know yourself and the enemy, you will be in danger in a hundred battles; if you don't know the enemy but know yourself, you will win and lose every time; if you don't know the enemy and don't know yourself, you will be in danger in every battle." Zhang Guanku shook his head slightly, took a sip, and chanted softly.

Zhang Guanku was a cautious person, so he was worried about Dongchang's sudden visit to Taicang. Although I saw the results of Zhu Ping'an's accounting yesterday and felt a lot more relaxed, I still felt a little bit uneasy, and I couldn't explain why.

"Don't worry, sir. I'll go and inquire about it right away." Jia Langzhong nodded, then bowed his hands to everyone, turned around and walked out.

After Jia Langzhong walked out, Guanku Zhang ordered Treasurer Qian to call the accountant "Ghost Zhang" and others to confirm the account book again.

Then he ordered Secretary Liu and others to pay close attention to Zhu Ping'an's movements. Although they couldn't get close to the courtyard, they could still get a general view from a distance.

After Zhang Guanku's instructions, everyone took action as instructed. It was a matter of their own immediate interests, and everyone was very considerate.

Seeing everyone's attentiveness, Zhang Guanku nodded with satisfaction, feeling much more relieved.

While everyone in Taicang was acting separately, Zhu Pingan was getting better at checking the accounts. With people from Dongchang on duty outside, Zhu Pingan let go of his hands and feet, used all his firepower, and used all his strength.

Zhu Pingan, who was full of firepower, checked the accounts more than 30% faster than yesterday.

There is a thick stack of account books on the table, and there are only a dozen or so account books left in the second box.

Under the double-entry accounting table, there is no way to hide the tricks in the account books, and the fox's tail is exposed one by one.

The ledgers checked today contain many more problematic ledgers than those checked yesterday.

After a rough estimate, in this morning alone, Zhu Pingan found a deficit of more than 3,000 taels of silver.

"This group of moths keeps watch and steals."

Every time Zhu Pingan found a shortfall, he couldn't help but curse in a low voice. It seems that corruption is an unavoidable problem in both modern and ancient times.

Greed defeats the law and will lead to eternal disaster!

The overthrow of the Ming Dynasty is inseparable from this group of moths!

As time went by, Zhu Pingan checked the accounts faster and faster. By noon, Zhu Pingan had checked nearly one-third of the third box's account books.

Dongchang Bleeding Sword and others who were on duty outside also silently watched Zhu Pingan check the accounts through the window.

Slowly, the eyes that looked at Zhu Pingan also showed a bit of respect from the bottom of their hearts.

Ever since they arrived in Taicang in the morning, they had seen Zhu Pingan checking the accounts. Until now, Zhu Pingan had not even taken a moment's rest. He had been flipping through the account books while making notes on a form that they could not understand. On a piece of paper, there were some calculations that they couldn't understand, as if they were calculating.

However, Zhu Ping'an never used the abacus when checking the accounts, which made them a little confused.

During the audit, Treasurer Liu and others from Taicang sent tea, snacks and snacks to the yard several times, asking Dongchang Fanzi to bring them to Zhu Ping'an.

Dongchang's fan didn't let Secretary Liu and others come in, but he still brought tea, snacks and snacks to Zhu Ping'an. After all, people are like iron rice and steel, how can anyone not eat or drink?

However, Zhu Pingan did not take a bite of the tea, snacks and snacks sent by Taicang.

When he was thirsty, Zhu Pingan took out a gourd from the cloth bag he carried with him. The gourd contained water from home and drank the water from the gourd.

At noon, Zhu Pingan also took out two fried cakes from the cloth bag and paired them with a stack of pickled vegetables.

You must not have the intention of harming others, and you must not have the intention of guarding against others.

There are many examples in history of officials who audited accounts being poisoned, killed, and assassinated. Zhu Pingan did not want to be "silenced."
