Chapter 401 The situation is getting more and more complicated(2/2)
At that time, the junior official told Zheng Kuguan exactly what happened.
After hearing this, Treasurer Zheng's expression changed, and he cupped his hands towards Shi Kefa and said: "The documents in the warehouse are piled up like a mountain, and it is inevitable that there will be mistakes. I wonder what the Lord wants Taicang documents for? If it is important, I will immediately organize people to search for it."
Shi Kefa looked at Treasurer Zheng, thought for a moment and said, "It's just that there were some errors in some accounts, and Mr. Liu from the Engineering Department came to inquire, so I came here to reconcile the accounts."
Liu Anxing is currently checking the accounts of Taicang and the Ministry of Revenue. He is very sensitive now. Zheng Kuguan was heartbroken after hearing this.
"Governor Zheng, I clearly put the booklet up there, but no one has checked it recently. It was lost somehow. What a ghost." The little official couldn't help but murmured.
After hearing this, Zheng Kuguan immediately reprimanded: "If you can't find it, you can't find it. I haven't punished you yet, but you are just shirking your responsibility."
This reprimand came suddenly, Shi Kefa was stunned, and the clerk also looked shocked.
In the blink of an eye, the little official suddenly knelt down on the ground and said with a mournful face: "Sir, I really remember clearly that the document was placed on the shelf. It was the 17th grader who put it on it himself last month. There is absolutely no such thing.
If there are any mistakes, please let me know carefully."
After hearing this, Zheng Kuguan not only ignored him, but sneered: "After all, you just don't admit your guilt. How can I have a cunning person like you under my command..."
Official Zheng reprimanded him repeatedly, but Shi Kefa realized something was wrong.
After listening to what the junior official said, he was sure that the documents must have been properly stored and sorted. After hearing this, Treasurer Zheng must have been puzzled. How could he insist that the junior official was lying?
Unless Zheng Kuguan knew that the clerk was telling the truth, but deliberately confused the public.
Thinking of this, Shi Kefa asked: "Guan Zheng, there must be a record of this document. You can bring it to me for review."
After hearing this, Chief Zheng said: "Reply to the matter, the paperwork is simple, I'm afraid I won't be able to tell anything."
Shi Kefa suddenly frowned and asked: "According to the rules, the date should be recorded and detailed. Why didn't you follow the rules?"
Treasurer Zheng's face darkened, knowing that Shi Kefa wanted to get to the bottom of the matter today, and said: "Our library has been like this for so many years. Besides, documents are rarely reviewed. It's good to know the source of the records in detail. There is no need to go to such trouble.
.Xiaguan and others have been managing it for more than ten years, and there have been no mistakes."
Shi Kefa was immediately displeased. He was not a very demanding person in terms of details, but he could only follow the rules. These people were trying to save trouble and did not follow the rules. There would be no way to investigate the case in the future. This was completely a waste of time.
Normally, Shi Kefa was a person who couldn't tolerate sand, so he scolded him heavily: "You guys are so careless, what's the difference between you and a corpse eating a plain meal?"
After hearing this, the clerk stepped aside and did not dare to reply.
Zheng Kuguan was old and had seniority in the household department. Although Shi Kefa was a Shangguan, it was still a bit embarrassing to be reprimanded by him.
So Zheng Kuguan frowned and said: "Xiaguan has been in the library for more than ten years, and I have never heard of anything wrong with registration like this. Of course, the job is to be a Jinshi. Of course I won't wait for this."
It's clear to Dharma's eyes, but it doesn't make sense to be picky."
When Shi Kefa saw Zheng Kuguan contradicting him, he said calmly: "Master Zheng said this, does it mean that I am a layman, so what authority do I have to tell you, an expert?"
That was what Zheng Kuguan meant in his heart, but on his face he said, "Sir, I don't mean this at all."
"You say no, but you think so in your heart. The matter of treasury management is a major matter related to the inspection and compilation of books. You are perfunctory and make the documents in a mess, making it impossible to check. You are betraying the Holy Grace by doing so.
, What’s the difference between shirking responsibility? Do you want me to accuse you of slacking off and laziness when I go before the minister?” Shi Kefa scolded.
What does it mean to have two official pronouns? In the eyes of Zheng Kuguan, it is just a trivial matter. It has been cited by Shi Kefa as a crime of having a vegetarian meal with a corpse, and it has also been brought to the minister. You must know that the minister is a second-rank official, and it would not be like this for others.
Intimidation, Zheng Kuguan only regarded it as a threat and was not afraid of it. But who was Shi Kefa? He was a Jinshi and he was upright. This stupid young man might really want to go to the minister when he is angry.
As soon as Zheng Kuguan reached his age, he was suddenly frightened to the point of sweating on his forehead and his legs became weak.
At that moment, Zheng Kuguan no longer dared to be strong. He picked up his black gauze hat, knelt on the ground and said, "I made a mistake, please forgive me."
Shi Kefa showed no mercy and still reprimanded: "You didn't make a mistake, you just relied on your old age and betrayed your old age without knowing your fault!"
Seeing Shi Kefa being soft-hearted and unwilling to accept it, Zheng Kuguan realized that he had underestimated this young junior. Being a Jinshi meant being a Jinshi. I was afraid that this method would be difficult for him to deal with.
Shi Kefa said nothing, but looked at Zheng Kuguan coldly.
After Zheng Kuguan knelt for a long time, Shi Kefa said warmly: "I am not a difficult person to work with. Let me tell you, the documents have been sorted out, so why were they lost?"
Seeing Shi Kefa asking about this matter, Zheng Kuguan immediately said: "The document was originally well organized, but later Ma Langzhong came and took it away."
Ma Langzhong? Shi Kefa has also met this person, but because he is not in the same room, he is not familiar with him.
"Then why did the groom take the documents?" Shi Kefa asked.
Zheng Kuguan quickly replied: "I didn't say anything about this. I just asked the subordinate to take it out and handed it to him."
Shi Kefa pondered after hearing this. It was obvious that the stolen official silver in Taicang had something to do with this groom.
At that moment, he said sternly: "In this case, I will not read it anymore. You should reflect on what happened today. If you are gossiping everywhere, be careful of your shame."
Official Zheng and the officials quickly kowtowed and thanked him.
Afterwards, Shi Kefa returned to the imperial city and asked his colleagues about Ma Langzhong.
Finally, I found out that Ma Langzhong was in charge of the public office in Taicang, and he had seniority.
This matter has become more and more complicated at this point. Not only Taicang Ambassador Liu Quan, but also people from the Ministry of Revenue are now involved.
Shi Kefa felt sweat on his forehead, and he was also very nervous.
For the current plan, we can only find a way to find out whether this groom is the mastermind or an accomplice. If he is an accessory, who is the mastermind?
With such doubts, Shi Kefa continued to investigate.
On the other hand, Li Yi is studying hard.
Tomorrow is the first test of the academy. Although he has been reading and practicing every day recently, he has too many things to do and very little time. At the moment, he feels a little impetuous.
After writing a strategy for the college examination questions in Wanli's fifteenth year, Li Yi gently blew the ink on the paper and admired it.
Although I haven't written an article for a few days, I have calmed down and concentrated on doing the questions now, and the feeling has come up immediately. This article closely follows the title, has gorgeous language and quotes from classics. It is already a first-class masterpiece. If it maintains this level, this time
I think there will be no problem in taking the college entrance examination to high school.
