Chapter 1126 You have a mistress outside.
It is not convenient for their boss to appear in front of these people now.
Gu Yao nodded and asked Xiao Yi to talk to them.
Xiao pulled the official from the Ministry of Revenue who was leading the group aside and muttered something to himself as he walked to the side.
The official's face darkened.
He was only a sixth-rank official, so why did the guards of the county lord's family know so much about their family affairs?
How did he know that he was keeping a mistress outside his wife's name? Is the county lady so powerful?
"Sir, please don't talk nonsense!" the official said anxiously.
Wanted to make Xiao Yi shut up.
"It's easy to shut me up. Then tell me who asked you to come here. We have already paid the taxes, not a penny in arrears. Why are you here to collect fees? You are capable if you can come up with other reasons for collecting fees. You are actually here to collect business taxes. Isn't this a slap in the face of the emperor? Did you misjudge the county lady? If you don't tell the truth, be careful that the county lady will personally file a complaint."
Xiao Yi didn't feel this was a threat at all.
"We are acting on orders from the Left Vice Minister. I don't know who gave the order. You must not tell anyone about my affairs. If that tigress in my family finds out, I will be in big trouble." The leading official looked at Xiao Yi with nervousness in his heart.
"Our accounts are crystal clear. Since you all have doubts now, let's check it out. You can investigate all our accounts since we opened the business." His master had just given him a look, so he dared to let the people from the Ministry of Revenue investigate the accounts.
"Thank you very much for your support for our work." If the leading official did not have his subordinates around, he would definitely kowtow to Xiao.
Xiao Zhen had already set aside a separate room for them to check the accounts.
It is impossible to take these accounts away and they must be checked in their workshop.
When these people saw the scribbled things on it, they simply couldn't understand them. The people checking the accounts were also confused.
They didn't want to come to the county lady's place at all.
Many people in the capital knew that the county princess and the princess were on good terms.
Especially those in the aristocratic circle, they are more aware of Gu Yao's position in the princess' heart.
It takes some skill to be able to disgust people with such a small thing.
Gu Yao felt that this matter was purely disgusting.
"Since Lord Huang has come to investigate, if you don't find any problems, you have to give this county lady an explanation. This county lady's workshop is not one you can investigate whenever you want." Gu Yao looked coldly at Lord Huang in front of him.
Lord Huang looked at Gu Yao and pretended to be calm: "We are also following orders. I hope the county lady will not take her anger out on us. If we don't obey orders from above, we will lose our jobs. We have a family to support." Lord Huang was just a minor official and didn't want to join in the games of these powerful people at all.
If you want the county lord to blame you, then go directly to the Left Vice Minister.
"You are the direct people who came to investigate. You are the ones I met. I will definitely look for you first. Of course, I will not let go of the people who come after me. This county lady is not a soft persimmon that you can bully at will." After saying these harsh words, Gu Yao went back to the front yard to rest, leaving Xiao Yi to deal with them.
Mr. Huang's position was relatively low, so it was impossible for him to have seen Xiao Yi, who had always been in the dark, before.
It would be safest to let Xiao Yi come out to receive us.
Xiao Yi's name was directly changed to Gu Yao's surname, and he told those who were investigating him that his name was Gu Yi.
As long as your surname is not Xiao, you won’t be targeted.
"Yes, yes, but Princess, we don't recognize these accounts." Lord Huang looked at the Princess and Mr. Gu.
These people are all good at complementing each other and settling accounts.
I didn't expect that the accounts I got were so confusing that I couldn't understand what they were.
Several people looked at each other in confusion, not recognizing each other.
"This is the accounting method created by our county lord. There are three of you looking at the accounts. I will arrange three people to translate for you." Xiao Yi looked at Lord Huang.
Xiao Yi was full of pride.
The first time they did, they didn't recognize these numbers at all. The lady gave them lectures from time to time and taught them a lot of knowledge that they didn't understand.
How could these sour Confucian scholars understand this?
"What kind of writing is this? I am a scholar after all, and I have seen the writings of many countries, but I have never seen such a method of accounting and such writing." Lord Huang's face was full of surprise.
"If you are interested in this accounting method and want to learn it, you have to ask our county lady. With these accounting methods, we can usually do accounting much faster. At this time, our county lady is the smartest." Xiao Yi praised Gu Yao to the sky.
Lord Huang's eyebrows drooped, because he was a successful candidate in the imperial examination.
Because he was good at arithmetic, he was able to enter the Ministry of Revenue and be in charge of taxation.
Unexpectedly, he was treated with contempt by the county lord's guards.
He wanted to argue, but he had no way to refute it. He really couldn't understand these accounts, not to mention that the people he brought with him didn't understand them at all, and everyone was confused, the tree was confused, the fruit was confused, and the tree was confused, you and me.
"Could you take me to see the county lady? I want to know how these accounts are recorded and calculated." Lord Huang wants to learn now and asks the county lady to be his teacher.
"I would like to request all of you to settle the accounts before asking the county lord for advice. You have been ordered to come here today to cause trouble, but do you want our county lord to pass on her unique skills to you?" Xiao Yi said lightly.
He didn't take the auditors seriously at all.
They have real accounts here. If any problems are found, then it will be these people who have problems.
This person came here to deliberately slander and disgust their county lady.
Qiuqiu heard the news in the backyard and went to the front yard to report: "Miss, I think this matter is not simple. Someone must have come here to cause trouble on purpose. Could it be that they want to tamper with the accounts?"
Qiuqiu was full of doubts.
Their master taught them how to do accounting, but no one outside knew about it. Only the people in their family knew how to do accounting.
This is the number taught by their master.
Require all of them to learn.
Even the dumbest person can learn simple calculations.
"They said it was the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Let Xiao Zhen investigate first. There should be news soon." Gu Yao said casually while drinking tea.
"Those who want to punish you deserve to die. Miss, how about I kill them secretly?" Qiuqiu did what he said, which was to kill all the people who came to investigate today.
