Chapter 780 Audit

Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    The governor is the official with the most government offices.

    Because their main task is to inspect the area under their jurisdiction, in addition to the seat of the official government office, each prefecture and county has a governance center for them.

    For example, the governor's office in Kunshan County is in the left city of Xishan Lane.  The governor's headquarters of Huating County is located in the southwest of the city and northeast of Shajiaqiao.

    Shanghai County is no exception. In the northeast of the county, a magnificent governor's palace was built for Governor Yingtian.

    I saw that on Yuanqian Street, there is a square gate on the east and west sides of the road. The northeast is engraved with "Gangji" and the west is called "Xunxuan".

    At this time, both gates were guarded by soldiers and county officials, and no one was allowed to approach the governor's office.

    This is very important.

    The first is to avoid disturbing Zhong Cheng¡¯s rest, and the second is not to give the opportunity to unscrupulous people who want to file a complaint beyond the level.

    The entire building was built in complete accordance with the regulations of the governor's office, without any compromise. I don't know how much money was spent.

    In the middle of the two square gates, there is the main entrance of the government office with five couplets and three bays, with red lacquer and gold nails, and the plaque "Duxianxingtai" hangs above it.

    Under the plaque, eight more armed sergeants stood sternly.

    After entering, there are five outer gates and three yi gates inside the outer gate.  Inside the Yimen is the office and residence of the governor's Yamen secretary office and Zaoli.

    After entering Yimen, there are three Xuanmen.  Inside the Xuanmen is where the staff and officials work and live.

    Entering Xuanmen is the courtyard where the governor is.  There are five front rooms and five back bedrooms.  There is also a pavilion and rockery in the backyard, with seasonal flowers and green bamboos.

    ¡°Although the governor can¡¯t come once a year, the people below cannot discount their sincerity.

    "How about if everyone wants to be an official and all the officials want to be a high official?

    ??~~

    At this time, Lin Run freshened up and changed into a moon-white Songjiang cotton robe.  Standing in the back room with his hands behind his hands, he watched the soldiers carry the big box with seals in one by one.

    Lin Zhongcheng also didn¡¯t expect that a mere branch of a bank would have so many account books, piling up the huge outer room without any room for insertion.

    The last few boxes had to be piled on top.

    When all the wooden boxes were brought in, Feng Qianhu replied: "Zhongcheng, all the names of Wanyuan are here."

    "Okay." Lin Run nodded and told him: "Don't let down your guard over at Wanyuan. The first is to prevent someone from taking advantage of the chaos and robbery, and the second is to prevent accidents from happening to the people in the store."

    "Understood!" Feng Qianhu nodded in agreement.

    "Go." Lin Zhongcheng waved his hand, signaling Feng Qianhu to step back, and then smiled at Zheng Yuanshao, who was still confused, and said, "What are you doing standing around here? Help us check the accounts together."

    "Ah, yes." Zheng Yuanshao hurriedly rolled up his wide sleeves, followed Lin Run's example, and removed the seal of the wooden box, but he couldn't help but smile bitterly:

    "Zhong Cheng has to explain to me what exactly we want to investigate, right?"

    "Let's first look for a transaction of 20,000 taels of silver in July this year. The payee's name is Ronan." Lin Run ordered while rummaging through the account books in the box.

    "Naked man? Is there anyone with that name?" Zheng Yuanshao muttered, becoming even more confused.

    The two of them opened the box one by one and rummaged through it carefully.

    After searching, Lin Run understood why a bank had so many accounts.

    Not to mention anything else, it¡¯s just to prevent wrong entries and avoid leaking the customer¡¯s deposit amount.  Wanyuanhao has established a separate account book for each deposit customer.

    Shanghai Wanyuanhao has a history of nearly a hundred years. It has as many account books as it has accumulated customers.

    Fortunately, the bank's archiving skills are not low, and all customers are indexed by last name and size, and ranked according to the amount of deposits.  In this way, you only need to check the more than ten boxes of index books, and you can follow the pictures to find the target.

    Even so, the two of them waited until the sun had set before they found the bank's transfer record book for July this year, as well as the personal account of Ronan.

    The cover of the personal account says ¡®Account B No. 337¡¯.

    Zheng Yuanshao opened the thin booklet and saw that there were only two pages with words.

    One page contains the customer¡¯s information, as well as the secret code and seal.

    There are only two lines on the other page. One line is Ronan¡¯s account opening record, followed by the signature and seal of the guarantor who opened the account.

    The second line is the record of depositing 20,000 taels of silver.

    Seeing that there was nothing to see, Zheng Yuanshao was about to close the account book when his pupils suddenly shrank.

    His eyes fell on the column of the guarantor, and he saw that his name was ¡®Xu Liu¡¯.

    Zheng Yuanshao does not know Xu Liu, but he is now familiar with this surname.?Allergies.

    ¡°Moreover, Zhongcheng just hit a wall in Xujiabang. Instead of returning to Huating, he came to Shanghai and took a big risk to seize the Wanyuan number.

    At this time, anyone with the surname Xu would make him sweat.

    Lin Run didn't notice it at all. He looked through the transfer records in his hand intently and finally found the one he was looking for.

    ¡®On July 16, the amount of silver in the foot print was 20,000 taels, transferred from account A¡¯s No. 27 to account B¡¯s No. 337.  ¡¯

    The number 337 of House B is Luonan.

    Lin Run felt like he had discovered a new world.  He never knew that the bank's accounts would be so clear and complete, and all the past activities of all customers at the bank were clearly recorded.

    Through these account books, every transaction that occurred in the past can be restored, and it can be used as evidence of conviction!

    "It turns out that the case can still be investigated like this" He couldn't help but think of what Zhao Hao reminded him before leaving Suzhou.

    ¡®If necessary, Zhongcheng can check Wanyuanhao¡¯s accounts. I believe you will find everything you need.  ¡¯

    ?Young man, you will not deceive me.

    Lin Run had a long-lost smile on his lips and murmured: "Then who is the number 27 of House A?"

    Zheng Yuanshao quickly rummaged through the box containing the account book numbered A. After a while, he picked up the account book numbered ¡®Twenty-seven¡¯ and slowly opened the title page.

    The file of the account holder comes into view¡ª¡ª

    Xu Liu, whose courtesy name is Jinglei, also known as Lixing layman, is from Huating County, Songjiang Prefecture.

    Seeing that his guess was indeed correct, Zheng Yuanshao's heart trembled and the booklet in his hand almost fell to the ground.

    "Are you okay?" Lin Run asked with concern.

    "No, it's okay. Maybe I got up too early today and I'm a little dizzy." Zheng Yuanshao hurriedly covered up his wry smile and said, "Time is not forgiving."

    "That's it for today." Lin Run saw the dim light in the room, took the account book in his hand and said, "Have a rest early, we will continue checking tomorrow."

    "Hey, that's good." Zheng Yuanshao nodded, and the two of them left the custody room, and Lin Run locked the door.  He also ordered the guards outside:

    "Double posts will be set up tonight, and lighting candles are strictly prohibited."

    This is also the reason why he doesn¡¯t burn the midnight oil to fight. There are a room full of account books, and if one accidentally clicks on them, he will be in big trouble.

    "Yes!" the guards responded in unison.

    Changsui held up a lantern and guided Lin Run back to bed and have a meal.

    Lin Run invited Zheng Yuanshao to have dinner with him, but Zheng Yuanshao politely declined, saying that he was dizzy and wanted to vomit, so it would not affect Zhongcheng's appetite.

    Only then was he able to escape and return to Dongkuaoyuan where he lived.

    Then he saw his eldest son guarding the entrance of the courtyard with an anxious look on his face.

    "Master, you are back." Chang Sui hurriedly came up to greet you and whispered: "The two are waiting for you in the house."

    "Ah?" Zheng Yuanshao was so shocked that he almost screamed. Are you seeking death?

    ps. There is still half of the next update, so hurry up and write it.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
