Xuanmen Xiaoguo Shi is divination again

Chapter 693 It's not right

After Mo Shujin finished speaking, he waved his hand, and immediately a dandy in brocade clothes and white face was holding the account book and ran to Liu Wen.

Holding the account book, Xiao Hongze raised his hand and pointed to a line of neat and small characters on it, with an indescribably arrogant expression: "Master Liu, take a good look, this ten thousand taels of silver, but you sent someone to deposit it that day? "

"This, this..." Liu Wen looked at the account book, and his tongue knotted uncontrollably. He didn't expect that Hu Yun, a villain who usually called him a brother and brother, would actually dare to turn against him on the spot and bite him back at this time !
The point is, if the old thief just turned on him and stabbed him in the back, how could he even reveal which bank he deposited the bribe money and when he deposited it!

And... isn't the Sixth Highness a dandy?
He is just a dandy who can't support the wall, how could he get the old account books of this bank!
Liu Wen's heart panicked, and his face was obviously a little more panicked.

He clenched his fists with flashing eyes, and the high-quality clothes were clenched into countless folds. He opened his mouth and tried his best to argue in a half-hoarse voice: "Well, Your Highness, the ten thousand taels of silver was indeed saved by someone from the old minister." , but that’s not a bribe.”

"Those silver...that silver is nothing but a few fragments accumulated by the old minister over the years——Your Highness, the old minister has been an official in the court for nearly thirty years, so you can't even save the ten thousand taels of silver?"

"Ten thousand taels of silver, of course you can save it." Mo Shujin raised his eyebrows in response, and a little bit of teasing appeared in his eyes, "But Mr. Liu, you can save more than silver in the bank. This is a mere ten thousand taels."

"——It is clearly written in the book, after depositing the ten thousand taels of silver, there will be a total of 30 taels of silver left in your account."

"Lord Liu, this hall might as well do a simple calculation for you here." The young man said, sticking his elbow, and slowly stretched out a finger, "According to the law of my dynasty, your monthly salary as the second-rank Minister of the Ministry of Punishment is About 140 taels of silver."

"140 taels a month, 680 months a year, that's 2000 taels, plus the gold, silver and jewelry bestowed by the emperor on New Year's Day, you can earn almost [-] taels a year."

"1 taels, there is no food or drink in your house, no expenses, if you save it for five years, it is indeed possible to save it."

"But the remaining silver in your account is clearly 30 taels—" Mo Shujin said in a strange voice, "Master Liu, do you want to come to teach this hall? You can only earn two thousand taels of second-rank this year Sir, how did you manage to save tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of taels of silver in a year?"

"Could it be possible?" At this point, the young man's voice suddenly sank, and his eyes also revealed a fierce light. He lengthened the end of his voice, and knocked on the table with his knuckles, "Are you Have you sold all the rewards my father gave you?"

"Your Highness, be careful!" Liu Wen was almost terrified on the spot when he heard the words, he cried out in shock, and layers of fear couldn't help pouring out of his eyes, "How dare the old minister do such things that despise His Majesty's heavenly power!"

"The extra money...the money is obtained from the fertile land and shops under the name of the veteran, and it is definitely not illegal wealth. I hope your Highness will learn from you!"

Liu Wen made a gesture to stand up and salute Mo Shujin - this time he was really frightened by what Mo Shujin said.

Over the years, he has followed the Houfu's party, and he has indeed received many benefits from others, both openly and secretly, but he is determined not to be as greedy as Chao Ling and others, and he has no courage to sell any rewards from the emperor.

The biggest bribe he took in recent years was the time when he helped the Marquis of Anping and the others to frame the Jingyang uncle's mansion and forged two directories and account books a few years ago.

"Your Highness, please enlighten me!" Liu Wen said as he lifted his sleeves, and Mo Shujin suddenly felt a headache when he saw this.

Xiao Hongze, who was on the side, had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and pushed him back into the seat—His Highness the Sixth Highness had made it clear to them in advance that they "invited" Liu Wen here this time, not to see him yelling about "clear lessons".

"Okay, then the hall will help you recalculate." The young man clenched his fists and coughed, and waved his sleeves. Xiao Hongze, who got the order, put away the account book borrowed from the bank in his arms, and went to the back of the hall. Turned out two thin booklets.

"Your Highness, here it is." Xiao Hongze joyfully handed the two booklets to Mo Shujin, and then ran back to his seat in two or three steps.

"Thank you." Mo Shujin thanked casually, and then unhurriedly opened the scroll, the look on his brows, as usual, was casual and relaxed.

"It just so happens that this hall has also received the annual revenue from various farmlands and commercial firms under your name, Mr. Liu."

"Let this hall do the math... Oh, Mr. Liu, after deducting the principal, the land under your name can give you about 3000 taels of silver every year, and the commercial bank can create an additional [-] taels of net profit for you."

"This is 6000 taels of silver - 30 taels, 50 years." Mo Shujin put the abacus and account book on his cheek, "Master Liu, even if this hall will enter the imperial court after you reach the crown..."

"Then are you 70 years old this year?"

"This—" Liu Wen's forehead was sweating—he was an official in the court at the age of 26, and he just turned 54 this year!

"No, what happened to the extra 10,000+ taels of silver?" Mo Shujin frowned, "Besides, it's impossible for you to deposit all the taels of silver in your family?"

"Based on this calculation, there must be more than 10,000+ taels in your house."

"Come on, Lord Liu, tell me, what reason can you come up with right now?" The young man raised his jaw slightly as he spoke, and Liu Wen felt his heart become more and more panicked after hearing this.

With his mouth trembling, he struggled to the death for a long time before he managed to find a "reasonable" reason: "Those...those are my wife's dowry."

"Oh? Really." Mo Shujin laughed in response, and then turned his eyes to scan the dudes who sat around Liu Wen for a week, "What do you think?"

The latter closed his eyes and understood immediately, and immediately refuted Liu Wen's words one by one.

"Your Highness, Mr. Liu lied!" A dude suddenly took the case, "I noticed from the very beginning that Mr. Liu rolls his eyes and twitches the corners of his lips every time he speaks, and his sleeves are almost pinched by him. Damn, it's obviously nervous, it's a cover-up."

"However, His Highness invited His Excellency to come here. He was neither executed nor extorted a confession. His Highness just asked him to ask a few questions. If everything he said is true, why should he be so nervous?"

"So, he must have lied!"

"That's right, Your Highness, judging from my years of experience in brothels and gambling workshops, Master Liu's statement of 'Don't dare to offend Tianwei' is true, and everything else is a lie! "

"Bah! A big liar, an old official who has been serving as an official for decades, can lie better than anyone who gambles||Fangcheng Sunrise."

"Hey~Brother Xiao, look, look, Master Liu has changed his face, he is still embarrassed and depressed!"

　After this fight, Liu Wen decided to cast a psychological shadow.

　　The way of comedians is not very harmful, but it is very easy to cast shadows on people.

　　As for the ledger and the income, it must have been obtained by Counseling Ah Ci and the others hahahahaha
