Rebirth of the perfect brother-in-law

When many people see people who are more unfortunate and humble than themselves, they are always willing to hide their ridicule and contempt behind expressions of compassion. After all, compassion and sympathy cost nothing and can win reputation. But Chu Nan saw that he was being

It was a bit sad to be forced to bargain with a stranger over his body innocence without any hesitation, but Chu Nan was not a saint, and the most he could do was not to despise or rub salt into the wound.

After saying goodbye to Qin Feng who was a little disappointed, Chu Nan took Wang Buhui and Tang Zhan back to his residence. Just as he was about to say goodbye to Wang Buhui, Wang Buhui hesitated and said: "Sir, according to the rules, these evidences should be mine.

Take it back and hand it over to the special personnel of the Metropolitan Procuratorate for supervision."

Chu Nan reached out for the evidence, but had no intention of handing it over to Wang Buhui. He smiled and said, "Master Wang, can't you trust me? Don't think too much. Have you forgotten that I am responsible for security matters in the holy name? Of course.

This also includes those who keep these physical evidences.”

Wang Buhui said something else, but Chu Nan didn't give him a chance. He turned around and walked towards his room, not forgetting to explain a few words: "Anyway, it won't be lost here. If you want to use it, just ask me for it."

.”

Chu Nan sat in the room and watched Wang Buhui sigh and leave. He slowly took out the account book that Qin Feng thought was useless and frowned slowly. The first half of the account book was filled with trivial accounts.

The maximum amount involved was only a few thousand taels, but there were some inexplicable figures on the following pages. It seemed that they could only be used as excuses and could not be used as ironclad evidence of conviction. However, Chu Nan had a vague feeling of familiarity when looking at these accounts.

Only then did he stay.

Chu An shined in the Department of Accounts, and his most outstanding achievement was to revolutionize the outdated and complicated accounting methods of the Department of Accounts. At first, Chu Nan regarded it as necessary knowledge and taught Chu Yue the methods of double-entry accounting for later generations.

Now the so-called new accounting method in the Ministry of Accounts is just Chu An adding some

The mutant behind his own thoughts, but from the account book in his hand, Chu Nan saw the shadow of the new accounting method that should appear in the household department. Chu Nan didn't care whether there was a spy in the household department. Chu Nan didn't care.

Nan was worried whether Chu An or even the Chu family might be involved in this case.

Chu Nan thought for a while and decided to go to Wang Shilang from the Ministry of Revenue. After all, there was a big difference between waiting for the sophisticated Wang Defu to see it and speaking out on his own initiative.

Wang Defu just flipped through the letters and began to study the account book seriously.

Wang Defu thought for a moment and asked: "You mean this account is a secret account?"

Chu Nan thought for a while and expressed his thoughts tactfully.

Wang Defu closed the account book, nodded and said: "The method of Third Young Master Chu seems to be very simple and clear, but most of the time the Ministry of Revenue still follows the old law, and the new law is too cumbersome to learn, so in the Ministry of Revenue only Third Young Master Chu and Mr.

Some young people can use it. If the accounting method used in this account is similar to the new method, things will be a bit complicated."

Chu Nan nodded and said: "I also know the Hube method. I just came here to talk about it because it seemed familiar to me."

Wang Defu looked at Chu Nan and asked: "I didn't expect you to know that method. The people of the Chu family are really amazing. I just don't know who else knows these methods besides the people from the Ministry of Revenue and you?"

Chu Nan pursed his lips and said with an expression: "Yue'er is also proficient in these methods. And as far as I know, Yue'er has been running the Chu family's old house these years and has been using this method to reconcile accounts. Outsiders may know

It shouldn’t be big.”

Wang Defu didn't say anything after hearing this, and just like Chu Nan, he lowered his head in thought.

As the stalls gradually spread out, the investigation of the case slowly came to a standstill. Although the people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate were busy for several days and did not come back, the people from the Ministry of Revenue, including Wang Defu, were all red-eyed and could only find out a few things.

A few trivial matters were removed by the way, but the most critical Zhang Mingjing corruption case has made almost no progress.

The lack of progress in the past few days made everyone in the group a little anxious, especially those officials from the Metropolitan Procuratorate who were determined to let their dead colleagues rest in peace. They looked like dead people all day long, and even because of the progress of the case and the Ministry of Household Affairs.

There was a big quarrel, and eventually the two groups broke up.

Chu Nan didn't have many things to do, but he didn't do it all. In addition to silently following the progress of the case, he was also responsible for keeping many complicated exhibits, and from time to time he had to appease the aggrieved Metropolitan Procuratorate.

The local officials who came to complain in annoyance mostly spent the rest of their time talking to Liang Rang and Wang Defu.

Chu Nan sat on the chair, silently listening to the exchange between Wang Defu and Liang Rang, looking at Yun Danfengqing but with hidden tact, and also considering the current situation.

Liang Rang's face was also a little gloomy. No one could guess what Emperor Liang was thinking now. If he couldn't find something, he would definitely be punished. But if he really wanted to find something explosive, he might not be able to reap the rewards, which would make him unable to advance or retreat.

.What’s even more annoying is

, although he is the chief official, the people in the Ministry of Revenue are in a league of their own because of Wang Defu's existence. Most of the officials in the Metropolitan Procuratorate are holding back their anger and want to vent their anger for their colleagues. It is also difficult for them to control it, but it seems that they have some problems.

It's important enough.

Liang Rang looked at Wang Defu, who was a little tired, and then at Chu Nan, who was drinking tea leisurely. He frowned and said, "Commander Chu, please tell me what you think. Didn't you notice that Mr. Wang said your mouth is dry?"

Chu Nan thought about it for a while and said with a smile: "I think Master Liang's idea is more suitable for the current situation. It is too much to go too far. Both the Ministry of Revenue and the people from the Metropolitan Procuratorate seem to be too hasty."

Wang Defu looked at Chu Nan in surprise and said nothing.

Liang Rang forced a smile and asked: "Commander Chu, please tell me carefully. You are also one of the chief officials appointed by His Majesty. You cannot leave all these hard-working things to me and Lord Wang."

Chu Nan said calmly: "I understand the mood of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, but they were too impatient, and the officials below complained. Today, the magistrate of Qinghe County came to complain again, saying that the Metropolitan Procuratorate has now affected Qinghe.

The county's normal official business also often disturbed the people. I finally stopped him and persuaded him to go back, otherwise Mr. Liang's ears would be suffering now."

Liang Rang smiled even more and nodded: "The magistrate of Qinghe County seems to be Zhao Shangshu's son. I heard that his mouth is much more broken than Zhao Shangshu's. When I was in court, I was most afraid of hearing Zhao Shangshu's verbosity. When I came to the south,

I don’t want to mess with another one.”

Chu Nan laughed a few times and explained his relationship with Zhao Yuan.

Liang Rang was very surprised and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that you two are still good friends, but this is an unexpected surprise. We need the cooperation of local officials in investigating the case. In the future, all official affairs related to Qinghe may as well be handled by Commander Chu. This

If the layer relationship is not used, it is a loss."

Chu Nan accepted Liang Rang's olive branch calmly and was not surprised by the power Liang Rang officially assigned to him.

Liang Rang repaid Chu Nan's support by throwing out a little sweetness. He was quite satisfied with Chu Nan's cooperation. He turned to Wang Defu and asked, "What do you think, Mr. Wang? I think what Commander Chu said makes sense."

Wang Defu's voice became even more tired, and he sighed: "That's true, but after all, we are here under the emperor's order. If the news goes back to the capital..."

Chu Nan smiled and said: "The imperial order I received is true, but you two adults must not forget that your Majesty did not say the date of returning to Beijing, which means there is no time limit for investigating the case. We will investigate slowly."

Liang Rang was more satisfied with Chu Nan, which he naturally understood, but he could not say it in front of Wang Defu anyway.

Wang Defu stretched his muscles and said with a smile: "This is the best. I can also have a good rest. I am really tired these days."

Liang Rang laughed and teased Wang Defu, asking him to pay attention to his health, otherwise he would not be able to tell Wang Defu's wife when he returned to Beijing. Obviously, Wang Defu's background was not a secret to officials at Liang Rang's level.

Chu Nan also smiled and said: "It's not just Mr. Wang. I think we will call everyone back and let them have a good rest. This morning I saw Mr. Wang Buhui of the Metropolitan Procuratorate almost hitting a tree while walking.

, it can be seen that I am very tired."

Liang Rang thought deeply: "This is inappropriate, it will hurt the hearts of the people below."

Chu Nan smiled confidently and said, "Master Liang, you are worrying too much. Do you think you have to run outside all day long to investigate the case? Do you think we can find new ideas if we get together like this?"

Liang Rang sighed inwardly, new idea? Shit, it's just a drag in the officialdom. This guy's ability to put money on his face is no worse than that of a veteran in the officialdom.

Wang Defu asked with a smile: "The people in the Metropolitan Procuratorate are all holding their anger. If you really want to keep them at home, are you not afraid of them making trouble?"

Chu Nan cupped his hands and said: "With two highly respected adults sitting in charge, they will definitely be able to suppress the impetuousness of the people below."

Liang Rang looked Chu Nan up and down, as if he wanted to get to know him again. He was such a flatterer and so impetuous. He not only gave him two top hats, but also gave the person who wanted to make trouble a personality. If someone really made trouble, it was not with all his heart.

For the public, he is impetuous and shallow. As long as the three people in the room agree on the same tone, it is not that difficult to suppress him.

Wang Defu looked a little unhappy and said: "It's still not right. It doesn't matter if you can suppress it for a while. After all, it's not a long-term solution."

Chu Nan said mysteriously: "Xiaoguan just said that we need to use new ideas, and I will naturally convince them."

Wang Defu narrowed his eyes, and Liang Rang was also full of curiosity. He really couldn't imagine what Chu Nan's new idea was.

Chu Nan sighed and said: "Actually, we went astray at the beginning. Don't forget, you two adults, we are the emperor's servants. Why do we have to go outside to investigate so exhaustingly? We still have some clues at the moment. Who do we need?

I went to Magistrate Jiang to ask for the family's accounts. He had to cooperate with me. If I needed any witnesses, I ordered someone to come here. If I didn't come, it would be regarded as a great disrespect to His Majesty. I would just bring someone to arrest him.

"

Although Liang Rang felt that this method was a bit unreasonable, but after thinking about it carefully, no one else could find fault, so he nodded and said: "In accordance with Commander Chu's opinion, what witnesses are needed now?"

Chu Nan said without thinking: "The chief bookkeeper of Qinghe County and the accountant master of Hangzhou government office. Of course, I have been exposed to these before, so they are not the focus."

Wang Defu smiled half-heartedly and asked: "Then who is the important point?"

Chu Nan said calmly: "Invite someone to invite the head of the Zhang family. Of course, it would be best to invite the head of the Zhang family."
