A Clash of Gods Chapter 84: Account room

Yang Ning stunned, Gu Qinghan frowned: "What are you talking about? Why can't we see the chief executive?" She also spent a few days in the old mansion with good memory, but also to the little old man who opened the door Some impressions, but I don’t know what the name is.

The little old man said: "Manager Qi Hong, you said, is no longer in the old house, so I can't see it."

Gu Qinghan's shock was different, and he lost his voice: "Qi Hong is not here? How could he not always take care of the old house?" Before he started, he found that the old house was really strange.

"Don't talk nonsense, open the door and let us in." Yang Ning stretched out his hands to push them open, but the little old man blocked, saying: "I advise you to leave earlier, to pretend to be a son, and the people in the house know, You can’t go if you want to go."

Yang Ning stunned, wondering how the old man knew he was posing as a prince?

Gu Qinghan was annoyed and said in a cold voice: "Qi Hong is not in the old house, where is it? Who is the main man in the old house now?" Thinking of it, he took off the hat on his head and his hair spread out like a waterfall, Staring at the old man, he said, "Do you know me?"

The little old man looked around and showed surprise, and lost his voice: "Yes...it's the third lady!"

Gu Qinghan thought that your old man’s memory was not bad, but the little old man had opened the door and knelt on the ground: "Old slaves are rude, beg your three ladies to forgive sins!"

Yang Ning is still wondering if he pretended to be a prince and was seen by this little old man. Seeing that the old man recognized Gu Qinghan, he realized that he had misunderstood, and thought that even Gu Qinghan and Mrs. Madam didn’t see their flaws. The old man was afraid that he hadn't seen Jin Yi Shizi even before he saw it. How could he see through.

"Get up first." Gu Qinghan walked past the old man and entered the yard. Yang Ning also followed in. As soon as he started, he felt a chill in this big day and did not know whether it was because there were too many old houses. There are not many people living, so it seems deserted.

The old man got up, closed the door, and followed from behind. Yang Ning discovered that the old man was limp while walking, and turned out to be a lame.

Going all the way, I saw the courtyard deep, with rockery flat grass inside, until I reached the old mansion hall, and no other figures were seen. Gu Qinghan had a serious face, entered the hall, and turned to want to follow the old man and asked: "Where did everyone go? Why is it so deserted here?"

The old man was busy saying: "Ye Cheng went to the city and said that he would come back at night. There were ten more people in the house. The old slaves called them over."

"Wait a moment." Gu Qinghan frowned: "Who is the Cheng Cheng you said? Why haven't I heard of it?" He asked again: "Oh, I see you by your eyes, but I can't remember your name." ."

Old man said: "Old slave Wei Dong, when the third lady passed the door, the old slave was in this old mansion. The third lady remembered the old slave very well."

"Your memory is not bad, you can recognize me." Gu Qinghan sat down on a chair, and Yang Ning also sat down on the edge, glancing around.

"The third lady does not know Lord Cheng?" Wei Dong was a little surprised. "Cheng Lord is the son of the chief executive. These two years have been the care of the old mansion. The old slave thought that the third lady already knew."

"The son of the chief executive?" Gu Qinghan is even more strange: "You said that he was taking care of the old house in the past few years, where did the chief executive go? You just said that we don't see the chief executive, what do you mean? "

Wei Dong explained: "The general manager suddenly suffered a stroke three years ago and was paralyzed. He could only lie in a bed and be served by people. It was then that Cheng Cheng... Qi Cheng just came over soon, the affairs of the old house , Qi Cheng will temporarily take over from the chief executive."

Gu Qinghan said in surprise: "Three years ago? You mean that in the past three years, the old house and the food are all called Qi Cheng's care?"

Wei Dong obviously did not expect Gu Qinghan to react like this, strangely saying: "Does the Third Lady know nothing? Master Cheng goes to Beijing every year, and the Third Lady has not seen him?"

Yang Ning did not expect such a change in the old mansion, frowned: "San Niang has never heard of this person from Qi Cheng? Can the chief executive have a son? What did Qi Cheng do before?"

Gu Qinghan shook his head and said: "Qi Hong was originally a family member of the Qi family. I don't know much about him. I remember that his hometown was in Jiangxia. Later, he fled to the old Houye. I know he has other family members."

Wei Dong said: "Old slaves rarely listen to the general manager mentioning his family, but I also heard that the general manager also set up some industries in his hometown Jiang Xia. It seems that there are also several children. This... When Jiang Xia was doing business, when he suddenly came to his old house to see the chief executive, the chief executive was also surprised at that time, but we did not have much to ask about the affairs of the chief executive." The voice said in a low voice: "But the chief executive seems to be the same as Qi Cheng The relationship between father and son is not good. Some people heard that they seemed to have quarreled several times. Once the general manager suddenly suffered a stroke and could never get up again."

"The origin of Qi Cheng is interesting." Yang Ning said with a chuckle: "The chief executive has been good. When Qi Cheng came to him, he suddenly suffered a stroke, San Niang. There shouldn't be anything wrong with it. "" Looking at Wei Dong, he asked, "The chief executive has a stroke and can't take care of the old house. Will he send someone to Jingli to report?"

Wei Dong said: "Qi Cheng sent someone to Jingli that day, the chief executive could not stand up, no one in the old house, Qi Cheng will temporarily take over the chief executive."

“Hou Man didn’t know about it.” Gu Qinghan’s beautiful eyes were full of surprises: “Qi Cheng succeeded the general manager, and the rest of the old man had nothing to say? What qualifications did he have to take over the old mansion? ."

Wei Dong was also surprised: "This...this is the meaning of Hou Mansion. Xiao Cui sent to the capital also brought back letters from Jingli, telling the old mansion that Qi Cheng will take over from the future. In charge of all matters, everyone in the old house must obey Qi Cheng's instructions."

"San Niang, it seems that we don't know more than we thought." Yang Ning sighed: "The old house has been replaced by the general manager, even you don't even know it."

Gu Qinghan calmed down and pondered a little before asking: "You mean that Qi Cheng will come back at night?"

"He went out yesterday and said that he went to Jingzhou City to visit the CEO." Wei Dong said: "After the CEO's stroke, Qi Cheng sent him to Jingzhou City for rehabilitation. The old slave hasn't seen the CEO in a long time. , I don’t know what the situation is now. Before he left, he only said that he would be back by tonight at the latest."

Gu Qinghan said with a sneer: "That's very good, I want to see, where is this Qicheng sacred." And asked: "Do you know about the tax bank? The tax bank in Jiangling is one late For many months, why didn't I send it over?"

Wei Dong said in a daze: "The old slave only guarded the gate and did not know these things." He also said: "Yes, Mr. Zhao is in the house, he is the account of the old house, and the accounts are in and out. It was all in his hands. The old slave went to call him over. He should be very clear about the tax bank." He was about to call Mr. Zhao, Gu Qinghan called: "Wait a minute, Wei Dong, there can be a surname in the old house. Luo's stewardship?"

"Luo Guanshi?" Wei Dong stunned and shook his head: "There are only 16 people in the house. In addition to the account room, kitchen and warehouse stables, there are only a few young people hired by Qi Cheng. Dude, this time also went to the city with Qi Cheng. The old slave remembered that there was no Luo surname, and besides the general manager, Mr. Zhao, who was the accountant in the house, was a scholar, and there was nothing to manage. Individuals, it is enough to have a general manager, no more than the capital Houfu, you can’t use any management."

Although Gu Qinghan is clever, but at this time, he only feels a little dazed, but Yang Ning also feels that the old house is full of weirdness.

"You go and ask Mr. Zhao first." Gu Qinghan raised his hand to signal that Wei Dong went to call first, and Wei Tong bowed back.

Gu Qinghan’s elbow rested on the chair handle, and his jade hand supported his cheeks, his face was dignified. When thinking about it, Yang Ning knew that Gu Qinghan would be full of doubts at this moment. He approached and asked softly, "San Niang, these few Is there no shortage of annual taxes?"

"Except for this time, although the previous tax bank had occasional delays, it was not lacking." Gu Qinghan slightly raised his head and frowned: "Wei Dong said that after the general manager had a stroke, he sent someone to Beijing to report, but I I don’t know anything. If it weren’t for the tax bank was not delivered this time, we wouldn’t come back to the old house. I was kept in the dark about everything that happened here. Let me take care of it, but I... Hey, I'm really useless."

"Emperor Tian Gao is far away, and there are no delays before the tax bank. How could San Niang think of an accident in the old house." Yang Ning said softly: "But there is a pile that can be sure now. If Bianzhen sent people to Houfu and reported everything here, but San Niang knew nothing about it, it was someone who had deliberately blocked the news from San Niang."

"Then it can only be General Manager Qiu." Gu Qinghan said: "Someone from the old house enters Beijing, and Hou Mansion can never be turned away. It is not the old mansion. They will also receive them. However, the reception of foreign guests has always been done by Mr. Qiu. Mr. Qiu naturally knows about this person in the old house, but Mr. Qiu has such a big stroke, why did Mr. Qiu hide it? Doesn’t he know that paper can’t hold the fire This kind of thing, I will one day know, how will he explain to me then?"

Gu Qinghan thinks things are getting weirder~IndoMTL.com~

At this moment, he heard footsteps from outside, and a person hurriedly entered the door. Yang Ning had not yet seen the appearance of the man. The man had fallen to his knees and respectfully said, "Xiao Yuan Zhao Yuan, see you Shizi and the third lady!"

Yang Ning saw the man in a long shirt and a green cloth hat, which was the look of a scholar.

"Are you Mr. Zhao? Get up and speak first." Gu Qinghan handles family affairs all the year round, and he comes from a noble family with outstanding temperament.

The account room Zhao Yuan got up, thin and thin, with eight-character beard, and a sliver of blue beard under his jaw. He was in his early forties, and it seemed quite elegant. Shi smiled on his face, full of respect, and said, "I don't know that Shizi and the third lady will come back suddenly. There is no preparation here, and I ask Shizi and the third lady to forgive sins."

"Zhao account room, I ask you, why the tax bank on Jiangling side has not been delivered to Beijing?" Gu Qinghan said with a cold face, "What the **** happened?"

"Tax and Silver?" Zhao Yuan's face was stunned. "Three ladies, when are you talking about tax and silver?"

"Of course it is this year's autumn silver." Gu Qinghan frowned: "Can I still find you that you can't make the tax and money next year?"

The old house will send tax and silver to Beijing twice a year, once in the spring and summer, and once again in the autumn and winter.

Zhao Yuan immediately said: "Mrs. Three laughed, Qiu Yin left as early as the end of September. Last year Qiu Yin was delayed for a few days, so this year it was delivered as early as possible, so as not to worry about Houfu’s end. It should be delivered to Hou Mansion in early October without delay."
