The adopted daughter returns with a new face

Everyone rested for a night, and the next day Liu Da brought all the accounts of Shangyang City to the table for Prince Rong to check.

Shangyang City is a salt city that specializes in producing official salt, so naturally the accounts are more than other places. Lan Rufeng looked at the piles of account books that were placed on a table. After a day of checking, his eyes hurt. Looking at several people, he was afraid that he would not be able to finish the check in two or three days.

"Prince Rong, how long will you continue to fight like this? There are so many of them that my eyes hurt." Lan Rufeng rubbed his sore eyes and stood up.

"Mr. Lan, you are the one who calculates the most. If you teach us your method of calculating, wouldn't it be much easier for you? We can also check more and finish it sooner." Mu Liangcheng said with a smile.

"Okay! I'll teach you after dinner." Lan Rufeng compromised, otherwise she would be the one who suffered the most.

When the few people heard that Lan Rufeng was willing to teach them, they were so happy that they got up and went out to the front yard for dinner. After dinner, they returned to their rooms and followed him to learn how to do the accounting. After learning this, they were all confused because they had all seen this strange method before.

Mu Rongchen and Yang Feng were secretly surprised. What Lan Rufeng showed was something they had never heard of before. They decided to follow her carefully and learn from her.

Lan Rufeng used a wooden board and a block of charcoal found by the Liu family's servants to teach them arithmetic. He taught for more than two hours and gave each of them ten problems to calculate.

Mu Rongchen finished the calculation first and put the result on Lan Rufeng's desk for her to check. Lan Rufeng was a little surprised that this bastard didn't make any mistakes. She smiled and said, "Prince Rong, I didn't expect you to have such a strong learning ability. You didn't make any mistakes."

"I didn't expect you know so many things. I don't believe that this was taught to you by Senior Luo." Mu Rongchen also said frankly that this woman was like a fog.

"Of course it wasn't taught by the old man. I learned it by myself. Prince Rong, what I know is something you have never heard of or seen before. How about considering becoming my disciple? I will teach you everything I have learned in my life?" Lan Rufeng said with a smile.

Mu Rongchen looked at the woman who wanted to take advantage of him, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, leaned over and whispered in her ear: "If you want to climb over my head and act wild, I will allow you in the next life."

"What is the emperor's uncle doing?" Mu Liangcheng raised his head after he finished calculating, staring blankly at the emperor's uncle's ambiguous behavior towards Lan Rufeng, secretly surprised.

A breath passed by Lan Rufeng's ears, and he couldn't help but shiver all over as he felt tingling. His heart was beating uncontrollably, and he pushed Kai Rongchen away.

Zhong Yan and the others finished their calculations and looked up to see Lan Rufeng pushing Prince Rong away. What happened just now? They didn't get to eat the melon.

"Sir, we have calculated it. Please check it." Lan Yi picked up the questions and stood up and handed them to Lan Rufeng. Everyone also brought the questions forward to Lan Rufeng.

Lan Rufeng lowered her head and began to check everyone's calculation questions, but she couldn't help feeling annoyed. Every time Mu Rongchen approached her, she became uncontrollably nervous.

"Sensitive little thing, I will play with you slowly." Mu Rongchen chuckled to himself and walked out, his mood couldn't help but be in a good mood.

After Lan Rufeng checked everyone's questions, he found that everyone had made one or two mistakes. He explained the wrong questions carefully to everyone. After they understood, everyone left the study and went back to their rooms to take a shower, wash up and rest.

Everyone learned Lan Rufeng's arithmetic method, so they could naturally calculate the accounts faster. The accounts that were originally for two days were calculated in one day. After checking the accounts for one year, they found that there was a shortage of more than one million taels. Mu Rongchen called Liu Da to ask about it.

"Your Majesty, even if I had a hundred guts, I would not dare to embezzle! But in recent years, there have always been people stealing official salt. When I discovered this, I had already reported it to the emperor. It was the bandits hovering outside the city who did it.

They always sneak into the salt sea at night to steal the official salt. General Fang and Deputy General Guan have led troops to suppress them several times, but these bandits are too cunning and it is impossible to find their hiding place. "Liu Da reported truthfully that losing his official hat is a small matter, but losing his head is a big matter.

"Give me the map of the salt sea and surrounding areas of Shangyang City. If I find out that there are people in Shangyang City who are corrupt, don't blame me for killing all nine generations of their clan." Mu Rongchen gave the order and made his words clear.

"I dare not. I will get it right away." Liu Da responded and turned around and ran down to get the map, then brought it back and presented it to Prince Rong.

Mu Rongchen waved his hand, letting Liu Da go down, and motioned Yang Feng to come forward and whisper a few words in his ear. Yang Feng nodded and turned to go down.

When Liu Da returned to his room, his advisor Chai Yi asked with a smile, "Master, did Prince Rong get angry with you when he found out that the accounts didn't match after checking them?"

"No, he asked me to give him the map of the Salt Sea and the map outside the city. These bandits are too cunning, so it's better to let Prince Rong deal with them, so as to avoid letting them continue to cause trouble. My head will be in danger." Liu Da said with a headache.

"That's right. Prince Rong is not an ordinary man. Let him deal with these increasingly rampant bandits to prevent them from stealing official salt again." Chai Yi agreed with his master, but a cunning look flashed in his narrow eyes that Liu Da did not notice.

Liu Da felt a little headache and waved his hand to let Chai Yi go down. Chai Yi nodded, turned around, walked out of the master's room, and hurried back to his room.

Mu Rongchen deliberately asked Liu Da to get the map, and secretly asked Yang Feng and Zhong Yan to monitor Chai Yi's movements, predicting that he would definitely go to find Guan Zizhang.

In the dead of night, a figure sneaked out of the back door of Liu's mansion, came all the way to the mansion of Guan Zizhang, the deputy general of the city defense army, and climbed over the wall to enter the mansion.

Yang Feng and Zhong Yan secretly followed the visitor into the mansion. They followed him all the way and saw him enter the main house. One of them jumped onto the roof while the other hid by the side window and eavesdropped.

"Deputy General Guan, Prince Rong checked the accounts and asked me to get him the map of the Salt Sea and the map outside the city. I'm afraid he wants to wipe out Village Chief Gong and his men. Do you want someone to inform them?" The person who came was Liu Da's advisor Chai Yi, who whispered.

"Didn't I tell you not to come here casually these days? I have already informed them about this matter a long time ago. They won't be stupid enough to come out and fall into my trap. You should go back quickly." Guan Zizhan was a little annoyed and accused Chai Yi of coming here on his own initiative.

"Deputy General Guan, Prince Rong is not an ordinary person. When Prince Rong arrived, General Fang did not go to meet him. Where did he go? I am a little worried about General Fang." Chai Yi said. This was the reason why he came here privately.

"The general said a few days ago that he had to go back to Miaotian for something." Guan Zizhang did not doubt Fang Zhongjing.

"Does Deputy General Guan believe that General Fang went to Miaotian? A huge amount of official salt was stolen, and he has failed to find the hiding place of Gong Da and others several times. This will cost him his head. For safety reasons, let's send someone to check it out." Chai Yi was suspicious and worried that the old guy was lying, so he went to investigate secretly.

Guan Zizhang became a little worried when he heard what Chai Yi said. If the general suspected something, he would definitely investigate secretly. If he found out, he would be finished. He immediately became alert and said, "Go back quickly. I will ask Yan Sai to notify them tomorrow morning to avoid Prince Rong's crackdown."

"Prince Rong is cold-blooded and ruthless. We must not let him find out, otherwise we will be in trouble. I'll go back first." After saying this, Chai Yi put his clothes on his head and opened the door to walk out.

After Chai Yi left, Yang Feng and Zhong Yan also left Guan Mansion. When they came out, Zhong Yan said, "General Yang, I will keep an eye on Guan Mansion. If anyone leaves the city tomorrow morning, I will follow them to investigate the situation. You go back and report to the prince."

"Okay, then thank you for your hard work, General Zhong." Yang Feng did not bother to be polite with Zhong Yan. After agreeing, he disappeared into the night.

Zhong Yan jumped onto the wall of Guan Mansion. He had to find out who this Yan Sai was.
