"Uncle, the imperial court seems to be checking some accounts recently. It has found more than a dozen corrupt officials, and it is rumored outside. Should we also check the accounts in the shop?"
Lao Fang walked into the room from the outside, looked at Li Yi and asked.
"No need." Li Yi lowered his head and said busyly, waving his hands.
The accounts in the shop are checked by a special person every month. They have been taught how to check the accounts a long time ago. Maybe someone can take a small advantage, but a slightly larger amount is unlikely to happen.
"This is not one of our own, so I'm sure he has other thoughts." Lao Fang still said worriedly.
"Everything that needs to be checked has been checked, and nothing can be found if you check it again. On the contrary, it will make others think more, which is harmful but not beneficial." Li Yi looked up and said, "If it were you, you would be willing to be bullied all day long." Anyone check?"
"Okay then." Lao Fang thought about it, and it made some sense to say it this way. He also felt uncomfortable being suspected by his mother-in-law for hiding private money all day long.
"If you are really greedy and someone comes to check on you, what will you do?"
Lao Fang glanced at Li Yi and said, "Master, I don't have any private money, so I can't talk nonsense."
"I didn't say that you hid your private money to buy jewelry for Xiaohong." Li Yi waved his hand and said, "I mean, if you are the shopkeeper of a certain shop, and someone came to check on you, what would you do? "
"That depends on how greedy you are." Lao Fang thought for a while and said.
"How many taels?"
"A few thousand taels?" Lao Fang curled his lips and said, "A few thousand taels can be called greed?"
He almost forgot that this guy's current net worth cannot be judged by common sense, so he asked again: "A few hundred thousand taels?"
"Hundreds of thousands of taels..." Lao Fang looked at Li Yi and suddenly smiled.
"If hundreds of thousands of taels are found out, it will be fatal? If it's me..."
There was a sinister smile on Lao Fang's face, and he slowly raised one hand, making a gesture of wiping his neck.

The county magistrate of Chen county was confiscated of all his family property, stripped of his official position, and sent to prison. The magistrate of Qinghe county was treated the same as him. The two officials who were found to be corrupted by tens of thousands of taels of ink were afraid that they would lose their heads.
His Majesty was furious at the Golden Palace just now. Prime Minister Qin and several ministers were scolded bloody for admonishing to stop checking the accounts. His Majesty's move directly showed that the checking of the accounts would not be able to stop for a while.
This also indicates that many people will continue to be unlucky.
"Qin Xiang, Your Majesty's move is absolutely inappropriate!" After the morning court, Qin Xiang walked out of the hall, followed by a middle-aged official from behind, and said eagerly.
"Eliminate all the corrupt people in the Qing Dynasty, you can't be so eager for quick success, if His Majesty is so radical, within half a month, the court will be chaotic!"
"Your Majesty has made up his mind. No one can persuade you. Let's just watch." Qin Xiang waved his hand and walked forward slowly.
Watching Prime Minister Qin leave, the middle-aged official's face flashed a trace of indiscernible gloom. He walked out of the palace gate, got into a carriage, and said in a low voice, "Check!"
There was a sound outside the carriage, and someone walked away slowly.
"Who the hell is it? Find it out for me right away. They can't let them investigate any further!"
"Send people to Chen County, Wang County and Qinghe County to investigate..."
"Find a way to make them stop, if necessary, at all costs..."
The same gloomy voice also sounded in some places in Kyoto.

The School of Computing is different from the Imperial College and other places. It implements a semi-closed management. There are five days of classes and two days off. During these five days, no student can leave the school unless there is a mission to go out.
Today is the rest day that I have waited so hard for. The students are free to go out, whether it is to visit relatives and friends or go to the brothel Chu Guan to relax, it is their freedom.
When Qin Feng stepped into the Qin family's gate again, he finally felt a little elated.
"Master, please slow down."
Qin Yu came out from the mansion, and several servants in Tsing Yi followed behind him, reminding him cautiously.
Qin Yu glanced at Qin Feng, then looked away, and passed him.
"waste!"
Qin Feng watched the eldest son of the Qin family pass by him, waited until the few of them walked away, and whispered something.
In the mansion, what he dislikes the most is the eldest son of the Qin family who is so stigmatized that he has almost humiliated the Qin family, but this is the eldest son of the Qin family. to this person.
Qin Feng gritted his teeth, took a sip secretly in a certain direction, and strode into the mansion.
"Feng'er is back, how is he doing in the academy? I'm still used to the food and the accommodation..." A middle-aged woman greeted him from afar, grabbed his arm, and asked repeatedly.
"I'm still used to eating and lodging." Qin Feng said with a smile, "Mom, let's go in and talk."
…
…
Ding Xingwang, Prime Minister of Qin, has five sons under his knees, three of whom are officials in the court, and the eldest son of Qin is considered to be the most likely to take over the position of Prime Minister Qin, but because of a certain game in the court, Failed, and was transferred away from the power center. Up to now, although Qin Xiang is still supporting him, the decline of the Qin family has already appeared...
Today is the Qin Mansion's once-a-month family banquet.
Although Qin Feng is also qualified to participate in the family banquet, in the past, he could only sit in the corner. As for the topic of the banquet, it has nothing to do with him.
"Feng'er, how are you doing at the School of Mathematical Sciences? I heard that your Dean Li is very good. How good is he?" A voice came from beside him, and Qin Feng turned his head to look over. back.
Sitting next to him was his fifth uncle. Although he was a generation older than him, in terms of presence in the Qin family, he was worse than himself, because an incident two years ago made him lose face. He became the laughing stock of the capital, and even the servants of the Qin family treated him respectfully on the surface, but they were also laughing at him in their hearts.
Glancing at Qin Yu, who was sitting very close to the front, a gloomy look flashed in his eyes again.
At this moment, Qin Yan, the eldest son of Prime Minister Qin, said: "The Suan Academy is a good place. If you can successfully graduate from it, you will have a bright future. Qin Zhong..., what a pity."
Knowing the importance of the School of Mathematical Sciences, the Qin family arranged two people in the School of Mathematical Sciences, Qin Zhong and Qin Feng. However, Qin Zhong was expelled from the School of Mathematical Sciences on the first day of enrollment. The reason given by the School of Mathematical Sciences was very good. Even the Qin family has nothing to say.
Qin Zhong lowered his head. At this time, it's better not to speak.
Qin Yan didn't seem to want to continue this topic. He thought of something, looked at Qin Feng and asked, "Feng'er, do you know who the School of Computing and the Censor are investigating the accounts?"
For an official of Qin Yan's level, he didn't pay much attention to the events of the past two days. He and the Qin family couldn't be found out in the audit, and he would not touch His Majesty at this time. Just a casual question.
Qin Feng was thinking about how to reveal this matter, he really wanted to see the shocked expressions on the faces of those uncles and grandpas, upon hearing this, he smiled and said, "About this matter, I'm afraid uncle will tell Fang Fang more. Uncle, brother Fang has only been an official for two years, but his eating habits are a little ugly, if my nephew hadn't helped him hide it yesterday, uncle might have heard his name in the courtroom at the court today."
The Uncle Fang he was talking about was a close friend of his uncle Qin Yan, if he hadn't raised his hand yesterday, that Uncle Fang's son would not have had a good time today.
After speaking, he looked at Qin Yan and several uncles with a smile, and even gave Qin Yu an obscure look. Although his words were a little more tactful, it is not difficult to guess that the storm that has swept through the entire capital these two days, Is it from their hands
"What do you mean?" Qin Yan frowned and looked at him, as if thinking of something, his expression changed, and he asked, "Could it be that you are one of the people who assisted Yushitai in checking the accounts?"
Seeing the "shocked" expressions on the faces of several uncles including his father, Qin Feng felt extremely happy and nodded slightly.
"it's me."
…
…
"idiot!"
Qin Yu raised his head and drank the wine in the glass, glanced at Qin Feng, curled his lips and said.
The fifth master of the Qin family turned his head, looked at him twice, patted him on the shoulder, sighed, turned and left the table.
