Chapter 38 How to squeeze out the boss ([-])

.

Dad also happened to be at home, drinking tea with a smile on his face, watching his wife chasing and beating his son.Yin Ling also yelled to cheer up, making Lin Qing'er dumbfounded, so she had to hide in the house.

When the old lady finally let him go, Wang Xian sat next to his father and asked, "Father, when did you come back?"

"In the afternoon," the old man looked at him with a smile and said, "This white shirt is not easy to wear."

"Oh." Wang Xian sighed, "Let me have some food first..."

"Here, the mochi that Dad bought back from Hangzhou." Yinling held out a lotus leaf bag and said as if offering a treasure.

"You guys eat, this thing sticks to your teeth." The family is still not well-off, Wang Xian eats well in the yamen, so he has the nerve to compete with his sister for food, "If there is any leftover rice, just soak some water."

"See you go to the countryside like this." The old man squinted his eyes and said, "Is there no one to take care of the food?"

"Take care of the food." Wang Xian couldn't hold back his sister, so he had to take a mochi and taste it: "It's just a closed door."

"Qiu, go out and don't say you are my son!" The old man was furious when he heard the words: "You have lost all my face!"

Seeing that his father picked up the sole of his shoe and wanted to slap himself, Wang Xian hid and said depressedly: "It's not all the fault of my father."

"Ah," the old man was speechless, and withdrew his hand and said, "Although the surname Li hates me, he has always done things insidiously. How could he be so hasty this time?" After a pause, he said, "It should be for the surname Diao. watch……"

"It doesn't matter who you show it to." Wang Xian smiled wryly, "Anyway, my son is going to be played to death..."

"Nothing!" The old man glared at him and said, "If my son can't even make it to the Fuyang county government, I'll write his surname upside down!"

"Father, Wang is still written backwards..." Yinling whispered.

"Sir, why don't children interrupt you? Go learn embroidery with your sister!" The father shooed his daughter away, "Tell me everything that happened these days."

"Okay." Wang Xian was suffocated for a long time, and finally found a chance to pour out his bitterness.

Listening to his son's description, Wang Xingye's eyes became rounder and rounder, forcing that simple and honest face into a glaring King Kong.Just when he was about to get angry, his old lady yelled angrily: "It's too much to bully! If you dare to tease my son like this, if my old lady doesn't show up, he, Li Gouzi, doesn't know that Prince Ma has three eyes!"

"Stop meddling!" Wang Xingye has been subdued by his wife all his life, but he maintains a highly sensitive self-esteem when it comes to Li Sheng.Seeing the old lady's staring eyes, the old man quickly softened up and said: "You don't need to butcher a knife to kill a chicken, it's enough for a fool to do it..."

"Hmph, put your business aside for now, and let your son do something about it." The old lady ordered, "I don't know if you don't tell me, Xiao Er was bullied like this by Li Gouzi!"

"Okay, okay," Wang Xingye waved his hand and said, "You go into the house first, and I'll talk to my son in detail."

"We must let him die in an ugly way!" The old lady gave the order and entered the house with the dustpan in her arms.

Seeing the old lady close the door, the old man wiped his sweat and said awkwardly: "Your mother has become a queen in the past two years."

"Otherwise, how can we support this family?" Wang Xian sighed and said, "My son was so ignorant at that time."

"I know, I know, why don't I let her like this?" The father is very concerned about the image in front of his son, but he seems to be getting darker and darker: "Tell me about you, that old Chao Tianjiao must not know you It's my son, otherwise he wouldn't dare to bully you."

"Father wants to accompany me?" Wang Xian asked.

"Fart!" The father said angrily with an expression of 'how can I have a son like you': "I am an official, he is a citizen, he should come to see me anytime!" Pointing at his son, he said: "Boy, it's really embarrassing for you to be a gangster in the yamen!"

"I've only been around for a few days, and I've only been bullied..." Wang Xian said depressedly, "I'm still confused."

"Oh, that's right." Wang Xingye nodded and said, "Go through this test first, and then I will teach you slowly." He touched his chin and said, "Chao Tianjiao, don't go, you will be at home for a few days Rest and wait until he comes to beg you."

"Ah..." Wang Xian stared wide-eyed and said, "How is it possible? The head of grain is so coaxing..."

"Hmph," Father Wang said with a sneer, "just watch..."

Seeing that his father was so confident, Wang Xian was also relieved, saying that it seems that I have a lot to learn.

"But it's a headache doctor with head and foot pain, and it can't get rid of the root." But I heard the old man scratching his feet and sighing: "Li Gouzi does everything well, and he never gets caught. Otherwise, I would have cleaned him up long ago." dead." This is a problem developed in the salt field, and I don't know if I buckled my feet before buying mochi...

"Speaking of which, Dad should read this first." Wang Xian took out a paper bag from his arms and handed it to Dad, "Just read the first page."

The old man clapped his hands and took it over, took out a stack of papers inside and took a look, but he couldn't pull it out again, it took him a long time to recover from the shock, he raised his head and said, "Where did this come from?"

"I made it myself. He brought out old accounts for me to settle, and I found out from it." Wang Xiandao.

"You still have this ability?" The old man didn't believe it.

"It doesn't matter whose son I am." Wang Xian said with a flattering smile.

"That's true..." Dad nodded, still in disbelief: "Who gave this to you?"

"Oh, don't care where it came from." Wang Xian couldn't help sighing secretly, no one would believe the truth, "In short, the above conclusions are all based on the five-year account books of Yongle, and they can't be wrong."

"If this thing leaks out..." The old man said with a solemn expression, "From the county magistrate to the book office, no one can escape, they all have to lose their heads!"

"So let the old man make up his mind." Wang Xian sighed and said, "I don't know if I don't have a trial. The first trial is a shock. This Fuyang County is colluding and engaging in malpractice. It's really lawless!"

"Ah, actually which yamen is not like this?" The old man recovered from the shock, and sighed, "The official salary in the Ming Dynasty was low, and the staff's salary was even lower. How can we support our family with just a little money for work and food?" What's more, the elder has to support the master, the concierge, and the ostentation. Where does the money come from? If the court doesn't pay it, everyone has to find a way. I want to eat the power in my hand... The Emperor Taizu was so ruthless back then, he embezzled 20 taels of silver, and he had to peel off the skin and fill it with grass. Do you know why the land temple of the county government is also called the Pichang Temple? That is because of several county magistrates The skin bag is still hanging inside, but it still can't stop the hands, so it's not only our fault here..."

Wang Xian shuddered when he heard this, and said in a low voice: "Father, you don't need to rush to argue, I didn't say you'd expose these things, I'll let you see if there is anything you can use to punish Li Sheng."

"You didn't say it earlier!" The old man breathed a sigh of relief, picked up the teapot and drank it in one gulp, cursing, "You little bastard scared me to death!"

So I looked it over again and thought about it: "Ninety-ninety percent of the money and food in and out of the yamen have to go through the household, so the household secretary is actually wiping everyone's ass. If you sue him with a false account, he will definitely pay for it." You can push two-five-six and say that I am just a maid who carries the key and is not in charge of the family. The county magistrate in the yamen, the second Yin, the third Ya and the fourth old Dian have all taken money, so naturally I have to help him cover it up..."

"But in fact, the officials and gentlemen took the small head, and let him carry the big head in his arms." Wang Xian said coldly.

"That's for sure. Li Sheng looks careful, but he's really daring!" The old man said bitterly, "This is to make the masters bear a bad name. He came here to gain benefits and be a good person. If the masters know it, they will definitely hate it." Kill him!" After a pause, he shook his head again and said, "Masters still have to protect him. Over the years, he knows exactly how much profit he has made from the public and how much he has taken from the treasury. He, there is no guarantee that he will say something!"

"This is really..." Wang Xian sighed, "It's short for eating people and short for taking people."

"Anyway, this big housekeeper is not so easy to deal with." The old man also sighed: "It's also fortunate that it is your father who has worked in the torture room all his life, so he can specialize in treating all kinds of difficult and miscellaneous diseases!"

"Pfft..." Wang Xian barely sprayed his father's face with a sip of tea, and said with a wry smile, "Father, can you not boast?"

"Hey." Dad smiled and said, "Do you want to hear it?"

"Think!" Wang Xian immediately leaned over obsequiously, served tea to his father, and said, "Listen to your old trick."

"Well. Actually, he asked for it." The old man took the tea, shook his head, and almost pretended to be Kong Ming with a fan: "In the past two years, because of that case, the whole county has been used to being lazy. Who cares about official duties?" Go? Just thinking about how to make money. I heard that after Wei Zhixian took office, because he wanted to make some political achievements, he wanted to refresh himself, but those people were too lazy and unwilling to cooperate, let alone I would like to spit out the fat, so I went against him everywhere and made him trip up. Because Li Sheng is the big housekeeper, he ended up being a lot of villains. Therefore, the county master has long wanted to get rid of him and hurry up."

"That's right, that's why Sima Qiu asked me to go to the house to collect evidence." Wang Xian nodded.

"Oh, is that so?" The old man stared wide-eyed and said, "Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"Is it too late now?" Wang Xian asked strangely.

"I'm wasting my brains to tell you earlier?" The old man said angrily, "You are a rookie who entered the yamen for the first day, what kind of evidence can people expect you to collect? You just want to find a small mistake on him so that you can get rid of him with an excuse." They didn’t ask you to come up with such a big killer, they just want you to find a little problem with him!” After a pause, he emphasized: “I figured it out before I heard what you said, and your words just confirmed it. My judgment, your father's ten-year old punishment room..."

"What a small mistake?" Wang Xian asked, interrupting his father's bragging.

"It's the kind where he hides it from everyone and takes it all by himself, but the amount is not large, so he won't be ruined." The old man thought about it and said, "Is there any?"

"Yes!" Wang Xian pointed to a certain place on the paper.

"Well, that's great." The old man looked at it, nodded and said, "Besides, who let this matter come out."

"I think Dianli Zhang is good." Wang Xian whispered.

"As expected of my son, he really has talent!" The old man was overjoyed when he heard that, even happier than knowing that Wang Xian has the ability to check accounts.
