The six yamen in the county have always been dilapidated, but they don’t have money to repair it. The government offices in the world are like this and never repair it. Therefore, every winter, except for the officials who have to be on duty, the other yamen in the idle yamen are all at home. The home is much warmer than the six yamen with air flowing on all sides.

But now it is different. Not only does people come in and out, the busiest house has been repaired, and the air leaks are blocked with mud and wooden boards. The reason for this is that Mr. Zhou is old and cannot bear the wind and cold.

The house was busy, not only the officials were very busy, but also because of the three large charcoal stoves, it was really warm. Master Zhou was in the middle, his eyes were half-closed, as if he was drowsy by the heat of charcoal fire. However, Jin Guannian, who was standing beside him, did not relax at all, and was full of tension and awe. While flipping through the account books on the table, he was reporting something in a low voice.

The officials and servants deceived their superiors and concealed their subordinates and controlled the government affairs of the county because they dealt with all aspects. The county magistrate and the master were unable to be down-to-earth, so they naturally had to let them go and fool them for their term of office. But that was to the outside and the inside, Zhou Gui, as the chief of the household house, was unclear about what kind of tricks and details he had, and he couldn't get sand in his eyes.

The household house is in charge of the county's financial and land tax. The basis of this tax is naturally the area of ​​the county's land area. However, the area of ​​the land is a number for the other five houses, and the household house itself has another number. The gap between these numbers is the reliance of the household house bullying the superiors and concealing the subordinates and deducting them from layer by layer. If you want to do a good job in the household house, you must firmly grasp these numbers. Not only must you remember them, but you must also know their origins.

I remember when Zhou Gui was a household vassal, he worked tirelessly to travel to Huairen County and several surrounding garrisons. He had been to every village and every fortress. He had measured the fields of the villages and fortresses. In addition, Zhou Gui ignored the risks and went to the mountains to check those hidden fields that were shameful.

It can be said that he kept the fields in the county in mind. It was precisely because Master Zhou cleared the fields in the county when he was young and rebuilt the tent of the household houses that he was attracted by all the seniors and sat in his seat today.

It is said in private that the people from the sixth house and three-class team of the county government office were still hidden in Mr. Zhou’s house. These accounts are the truly accurate land figures in Huairen County. Naturally, no one dares to play tricks in front of such a sensible person.

Although the Jinguan period is in charge of household affairs in daily life, he is also called the second master and second master inside and outside, but he is trembling in front of Zhou Gui like an apprentice.

Listening to the number of land acres reported by Jin Er, Zhou Gui spent most of his time listening to the report and occasionally interrupting the report and saying a few words. These occasional words often point out the omissions and mistakes in the accounting clearance. Although Zhou Jingcheng did not leave the county town, he knew the details better than those who personally handled it.

Of course, no one can tell whether these mistakes and omissions are really made or tampered. No one can tell whether Mr. Zhou’s reminders are corrected or knocked. This old man who has been in the yamen for many years is naturally very responsible. He knows when to stretch his face and when to turn a blind eye.

"Xiao Jin, you just keep this little behind Mr. Qin?" After the report, Zhou Gui picked up the tea bowl and asked.

"Master Zhou, there are a lot of these. All the villages around the county town can be seen for him. There are also some in Zheng Jiaji, and there are really a lot of them." Jin Guannian replied with a smile.

When he said this, all the officials who were keeping accounts in the house slowed down their movements, listened carefully to the conversation here, and everyone had the benefits to collecting the errands of the land without a master. If you deduct some from others, you can get more. What's more, the one who was deducted was the one who planned to get the largest piece. As the main person in charge of the house, everyone got the most benefits in the matter of deducting points. I thought Mr. Zhou had acquiesced, but I didn't expect that when I asked a few days ago, everyone was a little nervous. After all, they were unwilling to vomit out the meat they had in their mouths.

Zhou Gui, the House Jingcheng, took a sip of tea, put down the tea bowl, turned his head and spit it. He didn't know if it was a tea stem or something else, and said with a half-open eyes and said, "There is no land without a barren land around the county town, it is nothing more than a few villages of the Fang family and the barren land in the Zheng family. What is that? Maybe it's the property of the Qin family. You have been fooled a little, and that's the only juren in our county."

Jin Guannian carefully glanced at Zhou Gui's face, hesitated before speaking, "Master Zhou, this is really a lot. If Qin Juren wants to get the land, we have to do it. If we don't care about anything, it's not enough. Even the dignified county magistrate has to admit this, and he has to admit it...

"The Fang family's village was originally seized by Zhu Da. Qin Juren and Zhu Da have been running Zheng Family Ji for several years. After this disaster, the Zheng family was destroyed. Qin Juren and Zhu Da probably regarded Zheng Family Ji as their own. If you use something from another family to do your own business, who would admit it? Isn't this offending people?" Zhou Gui said calmly.

Hearing these words, the abacus of the household house was a little less. Jin Guannian bent her waist and looked at Zhou Gui's face more carefully. She felt that there was nothing unusual and said boldly: "Master Zhou, if it were Xiao Jin a few days ago, I wouldn't have the courage to do this anyway. It would bring disaster to everyone. But in the past few days, the dear Juren and Zhu Da have leaked out of the bottom line. It's just a paper tiger with a bright appearance. Qin Juren is good at brains and doesn't care about anything. Zhu Da Chuan is powerful. He may not have done anything about the Fang family and the Yang family. Wang Jiatun Lao Zhang gave him some face. Isn't this also enduring..."

"You are the one who instigated Lao Zhang?"

"We didn't go to provoke it. Master Zhou, you know that Lao Zhang's stupid guy is just a bad temper." Jin Guannian replied with a dry smile.

The room was quiet again. The officials didn't care about work anymore, and they didn't care about any etiquette and tacit understanding. They turned to stare at them. Zhou Gui pondered silently, and Jin Guannian didn't dare to speak. After a while, Zhou Gui spoke slowly and said, "Since you are planning so thoroughly, I have only one word to remind you that you must get what you deserve, so don't let your people feel heartbroken."

"Please rest assured Mr. Zhou, everyone will do this job properly. Mr. Zhou, your part must be the biggest one." Jin Guannian said with a smile.

Zhou Gui smiled and didn't answer the conversation. The abacus sounded in the house again, and the house began to get busy again. Everyone's nervousness and worries disappeared. The next thing was how to get the benefits. What is Qin Juren and Zhu Da, they had to follow the old rules.

At this moment, there were sudden rapid footsteps outside the house, and it was nothing strange for everyone. People who went to measure the fields everywhere were busy reporting when they came back, and they didn't know who was back in class 3.

After a while, someone opened the door and lifted the curtain and rushed in. It was indeed a constable from the fast-paced class. This man was born as a child from the house and had always been close to the house. It was one of the eyes and ears of the house in the third class. This man broke the quiet atmosphere of the house at this time. Everyone looked over and saw the young detective panting and looking anxious. And everyone knew that the detective had not gone out to measure the land. Is there anything wrong?

The constable looked around and walked quickly towards Zhou Gui and Jin Er. He hurriedly bowed in front of him. He said breathlessly: "Master, Second Master, there is an urgent message coming from the west. Inspection inspector Zhang from Wangjiatun is dead!"

The room was quiet, and everyone subconsciously stopped moving. The next moment there was a loud noise. I don’t know whose abacus fell to the ground. The Jinguan Nian trembled and took a step back, almost falling to the ground. Zhou Gui, the house Jingcheng, saw that he was calm, but the tea bowl he had just picked up even sprinkled on his clothes.

"How...how did you die?" Jin Guannian opened and closed her mouth a few times before asking tremblingly.

"I was killed by two people, saying that I was walking on the street, and suddenly two people rushed out, one with a Park knife, the other with a bow and an arrow, and went to the street to chop his head..." the young detective replied quickly.

After saying a few words, the young detective was breathing evenly and continued to tell: "It was the inspector Zhang who was carrying more than a dozen fighters around him at that time, all of whom were famous figures in the mountains and rivers of the rivers and lakes. But he couldn't stop the masked man with Park Knife. It is said that the masked swordsman killed one by one and killed one by one. No one could stop him with one knife. He just came to inspector Zhang and slashed his head with one knife..." The young detective said that it was a report of the news, but in fact he was very excited. This method of killing was already legendary. Of course, the young man was excited when he heard it. As he spoke, he seemed to be talking about something.

"Okay, stop talking!" Jin Guannian stopped in a panic and then asked hurriedly, "Is this true? Who told you, is it spreading a rumor?"

"It is true that it is the letter from Wangjiatun's main newspaper, and the bloody official robe and black shisha were brought." The young detective who reported the news replied.

There was a silence in the room. Who can still care about the accounts? Everyone looked at Zhou Gui and Jin Guannian. Jin Er, who was still confident, had no trace of blood on his face at this moment. His long gown seemed to be blown by the wind, but in fact he was trembling constantly.

The young constable who reported the news was a little confused. He didn't know why he had such a reaction. He was confused and only heard Jin Guannian ask in a trembling voice: "Have you caught the crazy gangster who killed the officials and rebelled?"

"Where can I catch it? I cut my head and ran away."

"You...you go and inquire again, come and say something!" Jin Guannian urged angrily. The young detective scratched his head, thinking that I was kind enough to come to report the news, so why didn't I even say polite words, but everyone in the room was his elders and seniors, so they could only go out with their heads down.

There was a silence in the house, but the noise outside gradually became louder. I believe everyone knew about the murder of the inspection. This was a big deal.

The clerk of the House was originally looking at Zhou Gui and Jin Guannian. Now everyone's eyes are focused on Jin Gui. Jin Er, who was still confident, was at a loss at the moment, and finally looked at Zhou Gui, who asked for help.

After a while of this quiet moment, Zhou Gui stood up slowly, coughed and said, "I am old and can't settle the account clearly, so it's better not to delay your work."

"Master Zhou, Master Zhou, Master Zhou, Master!"

Zhou Gui, who walked to the door, stopped, sighed and turned around and said, "I just said one thing, you should get what you deserve."
