Cao Liang had not closed his eyes for several days, and the circles under his eyes were slightly black, like panda eyes. In the early hours of this morning, he couldn't stare anymore, so he took a nap and had a strange dream.

He was shaken awake by Pei Xiu in his dream. Cao Liang reluctantly opened his eyes sleepily. Pei Xiu handed him a booklet and said with a smile: "Brother Ziming, take a look, is this what you want?"

What do you want?"

"Really?" Cao Liang's eyes immediately lit up, and his sleepiness disappeared. He took the booklet and read it carefully until he read it to the end. Cao Liang showed a knowing smile.

"Ji Yan, Xiu Yi, you have made great achievements this time. I will ask General Xiahou to take credit for you later."

The content in the booklet is exactly what Cao Liang has been dreaming of these days. To be precise, it is exactly what Cao Liang predicted. These wealthy families have indeed tampered with taxes.

Of course, Cao Liang was just guessing before, but now he finally got real evidence, and Cao Liang was very excited.

Pei Xiu and Fu Xuan were also very happy. After arriving in Chang'an, they devoted themselves to checking the accounts without sleep or food. For many days, they worked day and night to find what they wanted from the massive data.

Target.

Auditing requires careful and hard work, and Pei Xiu and Fu Xuan performed very well this time. They peeled off silk and cocoons, sifted through the sand, and finally got something valuable. Finally, their hard work was not in vain.

They really worked hard, probably because they were influenced by Cao Liang's rapid promotion. They also thought that they could be promoted through meritorious service and make their career path smoother.

Therefore, Pei Xiu and Fu Xuan really worked hard this time. Pei Xiu, in particular, changed his dandy attitude before and worked very hard, carefully checking every account because they knew very well that even if they had to pay

No matter how hard you work, if you can't get what Xia Houxuan wants, everything will be in vain and all your efforts will be in vain. Only getting something valuable can be regarded as a meritorious service.

Pei Xiu is not only good at drawing maps, but is also an excellent talent in statistics, because drawing maps originally requires huge data statistics. From this point of view, this is completely connected.

Cao Liang couldn't help but sincerely admired that the specially transferred Pei Xiu and Fu Xuan from Luoyang this time really worked as a surprise force. Now what Cao Liang has in his hands is something that can completely turn the world around.

Taking the book, Cao Liang hurried to Xia Houxuan's residence. It was early in the morning, and before Xia Houxuan got up, Cao Liang rushed to the door and was blocked by Xia Houxuan's army.

"Inform General Xiahou quickly and tell him that I have something urgent to see." Cao Liang also knew that it would be impolite to barge in so directly, so he had to ask the military officer to inform Xiahou Xuan quickly.

The lieutenant general did not dare to delay. Judging from Cao Liang's demeanor, this matter must be extremely urgent, otherwise it would not be possible to rush here so early in the morning. He immediately went in and reported to Xia Houxuan.

Xia Houxuan has been waiting for the results these days. Seeing that the date of Cao Shuang's arrival is getting closer, there is no progress in raising food and grass. Xia Houxuan can't help but feel worried. He can't find other ways to do it.

He thought of a way, but had no clue, so he could only place his money on Cao Liang, hoping that Cao Liang could make a breakthrough.

He stayed up almost all night. It was not until early in the morning that he took a nap. When he heard that the lieutenant general came to report to Cao Liang and asked for an audience, Xia Houxuan almost jumped up. He didn't even bother to put on his clothes.

He said hurriedly: "Please! Please!"

When Cao Liang came in, Xia Houxuan was still barefoot and hadn't even put on his socks. When he saw Cao Liang coming in, he said anxiously: "Ziming, do you have any good news?"

Cao Liang said with a smile: "Brother Taichu, fortunately you have lived up to your fate. This time I have obtained real evidence."

"Seriously?" Xia Houxuan's eyes shone, and he couldn't contain his excitement. He had been waiting for many days, and what he wanted was such a result.

Cao Liang cupped his hands and said: "This matter is so important, how dare you play it? But brother Taichu needs to be a little more iron-blooded next, otherwise it will be all in vain."

"Oh, iron-blooded skills?" Xia Houxuan said with a look of surprise on his face, "What is Ziming's plan?"

In this way, Cao Liang explained the previous plans one by one. Xia Houxuan's face turned solemn and he nodded frequently, saying: "Ziming, your plan is very good. You will have full authority to handle it this time."

It was the first time that the Governor's Office issued an invitation to almost all the aristocratic families in Chang'an City to attend the banquet. Therefore, the sensation caused in Chang'an City was no less than a magnitude 5 earthquake. People were talking about it, and they didn't know what the reason was.

.

There are no less than a hundred wealthy families in Chang'an City, headed by the four families "Du, Pei, Jia, and Zhao". There are no fewer than a hundred aristocratic families, large and small. Without exception, they all received banquet invitations from the Dudu Mansion, and in accordance with the requirements of the Dudu Mansion,

Those attending the banquet must be the clan leader or speaker of each family. In other words, those attending the banquet must be powerful figures from each major family.

As soon as this news came out, all the major families secretly speculated. After all, this banquet at the Governor's Mansion happened at a most sensitive period. The Wei army was about to go out to conquer Shu, but news of insufficient food and grass came out. It seems that this time,

The banquet must be closely related to the supply of food and grass to the army.

Naturally, these wealthy families did not dare to respond to the banquet hosted by the Dudu Mansion, so they went there together. For a while, the Dudu Mansion was very lively.

One of the patriarchs of the Du family was an elderly man with white beard and hair. He was able to hobble with the help of his family.

However, no one dared to look down upon such a dying old man. After all, the Du family's status ranked first in Chang'an City, and this old man, Mr. Du, had served as a prefect when he was young.

Almost all the heads of the taxi families gave way and gave priority to Mrs. Du. People came forward to salute respectfully and were very polite.

This time, these big and small aristocratic families seem to have reached a consensus. They all follow the lead of the four major families. The attitude of the four major families will determine the attitude of the entire Chang'an family. They have joined forces and formed a unified alliance.

Come to the banquet at the Governor's Mansion.

Because everyone knows that this banquet will never be a charity banquet. There is no such thing as a good banquet. They all have plans to go to the Hongmen Banquet.
