Qingyun Weiyang

On the day of the meeting, Nalan Qing didn't say how much money he would donate, and it was inconvenient for Yun Jin, as the beneficiary, to ask. She believed that Na Lanqing had his own measure.

Sure enough, in the evening of the next day, the Nalan Chamber of Commerce sent two boxes of things, one box of silver tickets and the other box of food stamps.Yun Jin was overjoyed and sent Na Lanqing to personally pick up the money and deliver it to the household department. She had to see it with her own eyes to be at ease.

Hundreds of banknotes were neatly placed in the two boxes, and Yun Jin always had a smile on his face. The haze caused by the locust plague in the past few days finally gradually dissipated.

"What's the denomination of the banknote?" Yun Jin kept his eyes on the two boxes.

"Back to the Queen Mother, they are all 1000 taels, and the food stamps are also [-] dan." The household department has not yet started counting, and will arrange for the devolution to Shangzhou after the specific amount is counted in place.

"So many?" Yun Jin visually inspected the past. If this box is full of 1000 taels of silver bills, the amount will far exceed the need for disaster relief, not to mention there is so much food.

Nalan Qing stood aside, just looking at Yun Jin's expression intently, thinking, after the money and food came, the Queen Mother would have nothing else in her eyes.

Anyway, let's look at her a little more, you must know that collecting so many bank notes and food coupons will be very traumatic for the Nalan family, and the matter may have spread to Qingzhou, the family will inevitably be in turmoil, and they will look for her everywhere.Although she didn't care about this bit of money, those elders did. It was worth a year's business profits from all Nalan's properties.

Not to mention the family members, even when Shihan went to collect the money, his heart ached.As for the amount, Nalanqing believed that Yun Jin would be pleasantly surprised, because she not only had to solve the locust plague, but also fill the national treasury, so that Yun Jin would have no worries.

"Lanqing, you are responsible for counting the number here and giving the Ai family a real number." Yun Jin seemed to trust Nalanqing, but in fact it was just to let her and the officials of the household department monitor each other. Such a large sum of money, It was still Nalanqing's favor, if something went wrong, it would be too insulting to the Nalan family's intentions.

"Yes, Nalan's bank and grain stores are all over the country, which makes it easier for the later escort officers."

"Well, Patriarch Nalan is still thoughtful." Speaking of Nalan Qing, Yun Jin couldn't help thinking about the day of the meeting, and couldn't get rid of Nalan Qing's last smile in his mind.

I haven't seen each other for five years, and nothing has changed, but the feeling is already different. Yun Jin's inexplicable emotions hit her, which made her feel redundant.

Nalan Qing saw that she was deeply worried, why not?Isn't the disaster solved?Why do you still look so melancholy?She couldn't understand Yun Jin's emotions more and more. This is not a good thing, she should understand her better.

"Count the number and inform Ai's family." Yun Jin left an oral order and left the household department.

"Congratulations to the Queen Mother."

Director Liu of the Household Department is a student of Cui Shangshu. In order to show justice, the Assistant Secretary also sent two officials to supervise, but Na Lanqing was the main leader. After all, she represented the Queen Mother.

Even if the official rank is not as good as this group of people's congresses, but still have three points of sympathy for the queen mother.

The entire household department used a full ten people to count the numbers together. In fact, Nalan Qing knew exactly how much silver and grain they brought in.But she remained calm, because she deliberately pressed the list of money and silver at the bottom of the inconspicuous box, and if the list was consistent with the counted amount, there would be no problem.

Due to the large number and the fear of making mistakes in the counting, ten people spent an entire afternoon and recorded it three times before daring to finally settle on the total amount.

During this period, Nalan Qing was basically inseparable, except for one time in the middle, when he was called aside by Director Liu to discuss the matter of dividing the bank, he had not left.All the bank notes that had been counted were passed through her hands before they were put into the warehouse.It was originally an ordinary supervisory responsibility, but he didn't want to cause her a whole lot of trouble.

It's just that Nalanqing felt strange. He had clearly counted three times, and all the food stamps and silver stamps in the box were taken out. Why didn't he see the details of the list?

"My lord, the three counts are consistent, and there is no discrepancy." The small official in charge of the count came to report.

"How many?"

"Eighty-eight million taels of bank notes and eight million dans of grain."

Nalanqing's pupils closed slightly, but her expression remained unchanged, because she found that Director Liu was staring at her, as if observing her reaction.

"I know." Nalan Qing remained calm, with no emotion under his calm eyelids.

The amount is wrong... The bank note she gave was clearly 9000 million taels and 900 million dans of grain.Now it is a full short of 200 million taels of silver and 100 million dans of food stamps.Before entering the palace, these accounts were checked by Shi Han himself, and the number of the bank note and the number of the food stamp were all recorded in detail in the account book, and there was no possibility that something was missing.

"Lord Lang, what are your orders?" Director Liu seemed to be probing her, she took a deep look at him, and wanted to know if it was a deliberate mistake, or something went wrong in the middle?

"It's nothing, Director Liu is busy first, I want to look at the detailed bills recorded again." According to the normal process, the counting process should also record all the ticket numbers in detail, so she only needs to look through the ten lines at a glance, and basically can Find out where to go.

"Of course you can. Present all the ledgers to Mr. Lang, and you can go down later."

"Yes." The people in the household department only listen to Director Liu's order. She seems to be a decoration, which is not difficult to understand. It seems to be polite.

"Master Lang, please click to read, and the next official will leave first."

Nalan Qing nodded, and at the same time smelled something unusual.This Director Liu was too polite to her, he almost responded to her request, so easy to embarrass her, so obedient?Could it be that she dug some kind of trap waiting for her to jump?

It was late in the evening, and Na Lanqing was alone with the light on to audit the accounts. She was really speechless to the people in the household department.This kind of accounting method, I am afraid that I may not be able to read it all after a night of sleepless nights. Businessmen have rules and regulations to keep accounts. These people just write as many as they see, and write down nearly ten books in a mess. This kind of bill had already been torn up by her.

Nalan Qing frowned deeply. He had never been so cumbersome when he was in business, and now he is doing the work of a bookkeeper.Who made her reluctant to part with Yun Jin, she could only do everything by herself.

The night wind presses down on the night, dark clouds cover the moon, and the house is brightly lit. Only the cold and handsome face, under the shadow of the red-chip lights, is focused on the account book, completely unaware that the sky has quietly changed outside the door.

Recently, she couldn't sleep well, Nalan Qing looked at the pair of ledgers, feeling a little sleepy, before she knew it, she rested her forehead and took a nap.

Yun Jin also didn't feel sleepy, and was concerned about the affairs of the household department, so she came here to check, not wanting to see Nalan Qing here alone.She also learned that Nalan Qing hadn't returned to Yunqi Palace, so she came here to take a look because she was worried. Could it be that there was something wrong with the money that she didn't go back?

She walked here alone, and found that she was sitting upright, but fell asleep.

The lights in the room were faintly visible, and the cool evening breeze lifted Yun Jin's clothes. She looked at Na Lanqing in a daze.I just feel that she is elegant and elegant, with a lightness of her own, and a kind of inherent nobility and aloofness between her brows, which always reminds her of Nalan Qing. The two really have a similar character, but the voice and appearance They are different, and their temperaments are somewhat similar.

How can I sleep anywhere every time?Really not afraid of catching the wind and cold, Yun Jin was about to walk in, when a strong wind blew by, making the window "creak, creak", she hurriedly took a step back to hide her figure.

Na Lanqing thought someone had walked in, but was awakened by the cold wind, and felt a little chill all over his body.She raised her eyes and looked out, but there was no one there. She gently brows, took a deep breath, and continued to check the accounts.

Yun Jin stayed for a while, then turned and left, she had no reason to show up, and she didn't want to come here suddenly in the middle of the night, as if she didn't want to admit it, she couldn't help but want to care about Nalan Qing, she didn't even know why she hid just now.

She no longer had any doubts about Nalan Qing. After these days, everything this Zhongling officer said and did was for her, he was dedicated to his duties, extremely loyal, almost impeccable, almost perfect.Even so, Yun Jin still felt that she didn't understand her well. This kind of ignorance would make her trust Nalan Qing and at the same time keep a little bit of guard. Only in this way can she feel at ease.

She left quietly, she didn't want anyone to know that she was here tonight.

Na Lanqing was concentrating, and did not realize that Yun Jin was staring at her from outside the window.She is proficient in bookkeeping and is very sensitive to accounts, so wrong numbers cannot escape her eyes.Just as she thought in her heart, there was a ticket number that was not recorded, and the other party was very smart, and each copy had some omissions, and the non-numbered tickets were very difficult to identify.If it wasn't for her natural sensitivity, which can be recognized at a glance, I'm afraid it would be easy to be fooled.

In order to save time, Nalan Qing wrote a letter to Yun Jin as his own patriarch, just in case.After all, normally speaking, Nalan Qing would also tell Yunjin separately that the amount of money and food donated was reasonable, she just kept a back trick for herself, fearing that something would happen in the middle.

Who is so bold that he even dares to covet the money she gave to the court?Is there a problem with the Nalan Chamber of Commerce, or is there a problem with the people from the Ministry of Households?She thought it was just a case of embezzlement, however, things were not that simple.

The next day, whether it was due to a meeting or a coincidence, Yun Jin, accompanied by several important ministers from the Counselor's Department, came to the Ministry of Households to check the bank balance.Nalan Qing was responsible for submitting the ledger. The general ledger was reported according to yesterday's amount, but the list was missing. She did not have any evidence to prove that the amount of money was discrepant.

"Patriarch Nalan is really generous. He spent tens of millions of taels. It not only solved the disaster in Shangzhou, but also temporarily alleviated the emptiness of the national treasury." Cui Shangshu said deliberately, his cunning eyes slid across Nalan Qing's body, It made her feel a little uncomfortable, and she always felt that this old guy's trip was not kind.

"Well, the Ai family has to personally write a book to thank Patriarch Nalan." Yun Jin was still calm and composed, without showing any emotions, but just brushed Nalan Qing's cheek, and found that she looked very tired.

Was it sleepless last night?To check the accounts?A strange feeling surged in Yun Jin's heart.

"That's not right, I felt something wrong with this number yesterday, but I didn't think about it too deeply." Director Liu spoke suddenly, which made Nalanqing a little surprised.

"Oh? Come and listen to me." Cui Shangshu answered very smoothly.

"Although merchants regard eight as an auspicious number, the Nalan family is different. Eight is an unlucky number for the Nalan family, so few items are priced at eight. On the contrary, nine is long-term. It is the foundation of Nalan's business."

"Director Liu, I know the Nalan family quite well." Nalan Qing squinted his eyes. Such things do exist. It seems that after doing a lot of research and planning, he came up with the present speech. Nalan Qing quietly looked at the This group of people gradually revealed their intentions.

"So, it's impossible for them to be all horoscopes."

Yun Jin glanced at Nalan Qing meaningfully, then turned to Director Liu, "Didn't the Nalan family send you a list?"

"Uh, Chen Qingchen didn't see it, maybe he lost it on the way?"

"I'm afraid there is someone who is worried that the list and the quantity will not match, so he deliberately hid it?" Cui Shangshu looked at Nalan Qing after speaking, the meaning was obvious, and the finger had gradually been pointed at her.

"If there is no problem with the Nalan Chamber of Commerce, then...could it be that someone in the palace dared to guard and steal?" Director Liu sang with Cui Shangshu, and immediately turned to Nalanqing for all doubts.

It seems that someone has embezzled a huge sum of money and then slandered themselves. They are really not afraid of the Nalan Chamber of Commerce. Will there be another list in Yunjin's hands?

Nalan Qing remained silent, still elegant and proud.She just looked at Yun Jin indifferently, wondering how she would solve this situation?

She is the most suspicious of guarding herself and stealing herself. Yun Jin, will you believe her?
