Chapter 89 The eighty-seventh round of private thoughts about my hometown, partial housing, and Xing's intentions, I suddenly turned over Chen's record room and turned to Chong'en

This evening, after dinner, everyone naturally sat with Mrs. Jin for a while.Because of Minzhi and Runzhi's arrival, Mrs. Jin said to Peifang: "My place is already lively enough. The nurse is alone in the room with the child, so you can take a look." After discussing it, I will stop the two accountants in front of me. I will publish it tomorrow. I have told the accountant today to settle the general account.I thought to myself, these two accountants don't know how much money they have earned, and now they ask him to settle the accounts, although he didn't expect to be suspended tomorrow, but it will not be long, how could he not do bad things on this day?Therefore, without informing others, they came forward.Ever since Peifang's funeral, she never came to the front at night, even during the day, she seldom came.At this time, he came to the front, which was very different from usual, only one or two electric lights were left in the long corridor, and the courtyard where Jin Quan worked, so that the two living rooms were completely dark.In the front hall, there is only one lamp under the eaves, covering the green willow slats, making the scene even more gloomy.On the peony table under the hall, more than half of the leaves of the peony flowers have been ruined.Thinking back to the scene of replanting flower seedlings and preparing for a dance meeting last year, it was just like yesterday.Things are completely different today.After Jin Quan passed away, he stayed here for many days. There were two open windows downstairs, and the wind swayed slightly, making a babbling sound.Looking inside, it was dark, and I didn't feel creepy, so I quickly took two steps back.At this moment, there was a servant in front, carrying something, and sent it to the back.Only then did Peifang embolden herself.However, he no longer wanted to inquire about Mr. Accountant's secrets, so he went back to the upper room.

Walking into Aunt Cui's yard, she heard crying in her room, stopped to listen, and found that it was Aunt Cui who was crying, so she walked in.I saw her sitting sideways on the sofa, covering her face with her hands, sobbing, as if she was very sad.When Peifang walked in, she wiped away her tears, stood up and said, "Eldest young mistress, you have to come to my place tonight for a while." Peifang said, "It's not that I'm free, I heard my aunt crying, so I came here specially Look, okay, how sad are you again?" With that, she sat down on the sofa.Aunt Cui said: "I'm not sad for no reason, because I'm not well today, I didn't eat dinner, I was lying on the bed, in a daze, and dreamed that your father was still the same as before." Peifang heard her say It's nothing to dream about a dead person.It's just that I walked downstairs in the big living room just now, and I was scared back, and now I heard that I had dreamed of Jin Quan, and I shivered in secret.Yin said: "This is because I was thinking about the old man in my heart, so I dreamed about it. Just now, I walked under the big living room, thinking of last year's peonies blooming and flower viewing conference, I am afraid there is no hope for such a thing. It’s a grand meeting.” Aunt Cui said, “What’s the matter with you? I’ve lost the days of relying on my superiors, and now I’m in my own world. Look at me so young, let your father throw me off, what should I do? Besides relying on myself, who else can I rely on? Once your mother was in power, she followed orders and took advantage of this opportunity to oppress me. How can I not be more sad?" As she spoke, she sobbed again.Peifang agrees with the words that once the power is in hand, the order will be carried out, but she can't say it.As for Aunt Cui, I think she is really a poor woman now.He said: "That's not the way to say it. It's everyone's misfortune that my father passed away, and I can't help anyone. They still have these brothers. You are always an elder. Can you not ask?" Aunt Cui said: "I am more than 20 years old. I don't understand this, and I am going to put on airs as a concubine and explain some reason to others? I thought about it carefully, and there are only two ways, one for me. I went to be an aunt, and I went to a vocational school to learn some professions and know a few words. But I said the first way, like those nunneries that are neither meat nor vegetarian, I can’t go. If I enter the school, Beijing It doesn’t matter whether it’s in Shanghai or Shanghai, you can find something comparable. I’ve made up my mind, and no one can change it. Besides, I haven’t been to the South for many years, so I’ll take this time to go home and have a look.” Pei Fang heard When she said this, she was taken aback.Think about it, what is her intention?It's like leaving the Jin family.It's just a coincidence that I heard her say this first, so don't let me get involved in right and wrong again.So he quickly broke the conversation and said: "It's hard to say about personnel affairs. No one can predict when they will be in the upper hand and when they will be in the wrong. The extravagant life in the past needs to be completely changed. But looking at his brothers, I feel that the same is also reduced. No, this kind of trouble will get out of hand one day. What can I do? It's just a day to day." Aunt Cui said: "What are you afraid of? Apart from your own savings, there is a big backer, your mother's family behind Well. My natal family is nothing..." Aunt Cui felt that this was a bit contradictory to what she said earlier, so she changed her words: "Although it is nothing, it's not because they are poor and worried, so I have to go and see." Pei Fang According to her, it is absolutely necessary to go back to the south, and this drama will cause trouble.But since she was going to leave, she didn't know when she would go, so she simply said something tight to make time for her.Yin said: "The weather is not very hot now, so it's very convenient to go out." Aunt Cui said: "I just want to go, I'm afraid there are still two or three weeks left, if there is any accident, it may be delayed until a month away. I I know it, and I said to go. It is inevitable that I have time to talk to my ears. But I have already decided to go, no matter who it is, I can't stop it." Pei Fang said: "That can't be talked about. Right?" Peifang said such a sentence speciously, and it was considered as an answer.Yin stood up and said: "I want to see the child, I can't sit still, don't be sad anymore." Then, she patted Aunt Cui on the shoulder twice, and hurried back to her room.

When he arrived at the house, Feng Ju was already there, and he asked, "Where have you been? Why did you come here at this time?" Peifang didn't answer him, she took out a pair of slippers from the lower drawer of the closet, snapped He put it on the floor with a sound, sat on a low chair, took off his shoes and changed into slippers, and sighed, "What's the end of my auntie?" Putting a pair of shoes in the drawer, la's With a sound, he closed the drawer, leaned back on the low chair, and another person smiled and said: "I am opposed to taking concubines. It must not be said that women have any acid effect. It is really reasonable." Feng Ju looked at his wife and paused for a long time , then said: "Now, do you still have time to dig through this old shit?" Peifang said: "You think I'm talking about you, I'm too embarrassed to mention the things you did, but you should talk about it first." Feng Ju said: "Otherwise, why were you complaining just now?" Pei Fang jiggled her feet, very comfortably repeating what Aunt Cui said just now.After hearing this, Feng Ju couldn't help being a little surprised.Then she asked: "Is this true? Then it's over as soon as she leaves, and no one can admit that her surname is Jin!" Pei Fang sneered and said, "You think your name Jin is as valuable as gold, you So what if you don't recognize her surname Jin? Does she insist on your name?" Feng Ju said: "That's not the case. Since she has gone out, she knows what she is going to do? If there is any trouble, say it is the surname. Jin, of course we have to take responsibility." Peifang said: "It's not that I didn't know the general meaning of a sentence, not only would she not know how to use this golden word, maybe she would hide it from anyone she saw." Feng Ju Said: "That's good. It's in line with what the southerners said. Broken baskets filled with loach, walked away, slipped away." Peifang said: "It's only two people who left. How did it end up like this?" Fengju said "Fifth Sister received a telegram from Paris and was going to France. I just took this telegram and went to discuss it with my mother. She said she had replied a letter and said she couldn't leave for the time being. My mother criticized her for not saying yes." It’s good for you to go to Paris to get married, and save a lot of unnecessary expenses. That way, it’s a success.”

Pei Fang said: "It's nothing if my family is short of two people. From tomorrow onwards, a large number of servants will be laid off, and the family will become indifferent. Have the accounts of the two accountants been settled?" Feng Ju said : "It has come out. I just checked it briefly, but I can't see any leaks. There are a lot of gossips outside, saying that Chai and Jia have made a fortune. What's the matter?" Peifang said: "The more people who pretend to be fake, the more they pretend to be clean. It's still early tonight, so I'll check it out with you." Feng Ju frowned and said, "I need to check it out. I'm most afraid of spelling out numbers. Why? What should we do?" Pei Fang sneered and said, "That's good. Those who have property don't have to settle accounts. If they are completely swallowed up, then there is no way to know. Fortunately, you said this to me. If you are right The accountant said that he will try his best to open your account. If your mother knows this, how can you ask about family affairs with confidence." Feng Ju said: "I also know this kind of thing. If I say it, I will be criticized by you. But I have you as my backer, so I say this, without you, I have to practice and figure it out." Peifang said: "You are simply outrageous. I only came to learn abacus for the purpose of checking accounts. Is there really such a reason in the world?" Feng Ju felt that his words could not stand at all. A cigar, smoked slowly.Peifang said: "I'm going to resign from the tent tomorrow. How can I let him go if I don't have a clear account? You just sit there and smoke for a while. Is it okay?" Feng Ju held the cigarette in his mouth and said: "I'm trying to figure out how to make sure there's nothing wrong with it? I mean, invite Zhu Yishi, Liu Baoshan and the others over tomorrow, and investigate thoroughly first." Peifang stood up, poohed at Fengju, and said, "You Hurry up and put it away. Don’t these people know enough about your Jin family’s secrets? Now that the big thing is over, you still need to let people know the whole thing?” Feng Ju said with a smile, “Why are you so vicious? Listen to me, these accounts are very common, and there is nothing that cannot be disclosed. Besides, there is no outsider in charge of the accounts. There is no need for him to keep a secret from you, so the secret will naturally be passed on If it leaked out, what's the difference between Zhu Yishi and the others knowing?" Peifang said, "According to what you said, the more people know, the better? Don't think about it, of course accountants also have their secrets, how about it?" Dare to talk nonsense? People outside the matter, what scruples does he have?" Feng Ju had nothing to say, and then smiled: "Since this is the case, I will trouble you with this matter, please check it with me." As he spoke, he put the account books sent by the two accountants on the table, smiled and cupped hands with Peifang.Seeing that Fengju couldn't do it, Peifang raised her eyebrows and smiled.The more I want to find a little flaw in the account book, to show that I am good.It's like that these two tents were all melted under Jin Quan's hands. Even if there are disadvantages, how can there be any flaws in the writing?This time the account books were submitted, knowing that it was over, and the relatives and friends of the Jin family were still powerful. If there was any fraud, of course they couldn't get rid of it. Therefore, their accounts, except for major items, were checked by Mrs. Jin Once, it's not bad, but even the small money under the big item is paid out at every cent.Peifang checked first, the external transactions handled by the accountant, and then looked at the total income and expenditure of the family, and also randomly checked a few small accounts, and found no flaws.But I must make a contribution in my heart, and I will never be ambiguous. I put the new-style bookkeeping current account aside, and only turn the old running account book for miscellaneous purposes, page by page, from front to back.After turning over and over for an hour, there is still no flaw to check.Feng Ju stood by the table to watch, then sat on the side, sat for a while, came to watch again, but refused to say anything.Peifang was also in a hurry, she flipped through the notebook unconsciously.Unexpectedly, when she flipped through the pages quickly, she discovered a little thing outside of the writing.She immediately pressed down on the notebook and took a closer look, slapped the table and stood up suddenly, and said with a smile: "Hmph! How can I steal it in my hand?" Feng Ju saw that she was so surprised, and asked, "What did you see?" Is it?" As she spoke, she stretched her head over to look, Pei Fang held up the account book with both hands and said, "Look, what is this? Literally, can you see their problems?" Feng Ju said with a smile: "I don't have the ability to check the accounts literally. If you want me to check the accounts beyond the literal, how can I do it?" Said: "Some of them will cheat, and some of them will check for cheating. Take a look, they tore up several pages of this account book." Feng Ju said: "Impossible? Our account books are all in the printing bureau. Customized, one hundred pages per book, printed with codes from the beginning to the end, this is fixed, so as not to backfill the date and insert the account afterwards. Do they dare to shorten the number of pages?" Pei Fang said: "They don't dare to shorten, they dare to change. Look at the eighty-eight to ninety-one pages of account books, which are a little newer than the original paper materials, which is already suspicious." Fengju said: "This Maybe the printing bureau accidentally used two kinds of paper for printing, so it can't be used as evidence." Peifang said: "In the printing bureau, thousands of books and tens of thousands of books are printed, but the same kind of paper is not printed, let alone printing. We have a hundred and ten account books? Even if there is a mistake in the printing, there should be some of them, and it must not be just four pages. You think, four pages of account books are only one or two sheets of paper, and the printing office prints many account books, so why take one or two sheets? What about using different colored paper to make up the numbers? That’s not counting, even the colors of the grids on these four pages are different. That’s not counting, this account book was originally stapled with paper twine and then stapled with thread. Now the paper twine It was broken until page eighty-seven. Pages eighty-eight to ninety-one, there were no eyes, but ninety-two to one hundred, there were two holes through the paper twist. Do you think these four pages have been torn? The account book, was it changed?" Feng Ju said: "According to what you said, there are indeed some flaws, but I only saw that they tore up the account book, but did not see that they forged the account, even if they knew, it would be in vain." Fang said: "Since we know that these few pages of account books were added, we can naturally conclude that there are fake accounts here. Let's study these four pages of account books slowly, and we can always find out." Said, also seems to have some grasp like.He said: "It really makes sense, let me take a look." Pei Fang pushed the account book, stood up and said, "Let you see it, I can't do it." Feng Ju stepped back with a smile: " I said to see, this is exactly what I meant to try, and I am not sure, if you step aside and wait for me, you are making fun of me." Peifang smiled at Fengju: "It's your fault if you say that. If you say it, you won't be able to compete with me, will you?" Feng Ju just smiled and didn't say anything.Peifang sat down again, took a closer look at the account book, nodded and said: "I can see, how could there be six large accounts in these four pages? Here is a payment for Xishan Company's coal. This company has already closed down in the winter of the lunar calendar, why is it that after the company closed down, it still has to pay more than 1,000 yuan in debt? Before the company closed down, didn’t he chase us for it?” Feng Feng Ju said: "I don't know about other things. If I mention this coal account, I know it. I seem to remember that a coal company borrowed a large sum of money from us last summer and said yes. The principal must be repaid in the winter, and the coal will be used to repay the interest. Otherwise, I would not pay attention. I went to the account room to move some money to use. It’s hard for me to open my mouth, and I missed my business.” Peifang said: “Needless to say, it’s this coal company. They only pay interest and don’t record it in the account, so the coal can be counted as bought.” Fengju said: “ According to your guessing method, it is completely correct with facts like mine to prove it, so I will ask him, what is going on with this account?" Then he picked up the account book and held it under his ribs, intending to Go to the front tent.Pei Fang dragged him back and asked: "What's wrong with you? Are you trying to scare the snakes?" Feng Ju said: "It's okay to scare the snakes, I don't think they can escape from my palm." Peifang said: "Since that's the case, why do you need to ask tonight? Is it too late tomorrow? You are a worthless person, and you can't let go of such a trivial matter. You are still in the diplomatic circle!" Feng Ju put it down. He opened the account book and said with a smile: "You take things too seriously again. What kind of methods do you need to use to deal with them? When you find out their frauds, you will ask Uncle Xu to interrogate them." Peifang said: "You You can say this in normal times, but now is the day to close the accounts, so you can’t say that. We haven’t fully found out how many cheats he has committed, so how can we do it for this matter? I think you are still safe and sound. Go to rest steadily, wait for me to leave this account book overnight, when you get up tomorrow, I will tell you one by one, you take this account book to check the ready-made account, do you think it is okay? If you want to disturb me again, I can't investigate anymore." Although Feng Ju couldn't fully accept his wife's order, after thinking about it, what his wife said was reasonable.Then he laughed and said: "I want to see what your abilities are, so I followed your advice and went to bed first. Anyway, within these four pages of false accounts, I think you can find some more evidence." ?” After finishing speaking, he fell asleep as expected.As for when Peifang went to bed, she didn't know.

When she woke up the next day, Pei Fang got up first again, Feng Ju said first, and asked how the check was going.Pei Fang smiled and said: "Although I found out the account, you have to release the cannon. It's not that I'm afraid of getting into trouble, and I entrust this responsibility to you. You must know that this is a matter of means. People admire you for your talent, and maybe you can get some benefits in the future." Feng Ju said, "You sound so nice, but I don't know where the problem lies, so I'm just going to fire an empty cannon like this?" Peifang took out the key from her body, opened the drawer, and then took out a list in the drawer, handed it to Fengju and said, "This is the result of my one night's work, you should take a closer look first, wait for yourself With confidence in your chest, then go to the front and tell the accountants, I will tell you the same, they will be surprised for a while." Feng Ju took the list and looked at it, only to see the first item, which was three thousand A huge sum of one hundred and fifteen yuan.This account was not written on the four pages of the fake account, but there was an amount of 3,115 yuan to make up for the antique shop on the fake account.From this owed amount, to track down the original amount, it is the amount paid in the previous two months.Feng Ju looked at it, but didn't understand it yet.Peifang said: "Listen to my explanation. It is a fact that my father often received some antiques as gifts in Japan. However, sometimes he paid checks, and sometimes he paid cash, but he didn't record it. On the general ledger, write There is a receipt of 3,200 yuan from the store, and it is this receipt that shows the flaws. The seller gets the money for the delivery, and that's the end of it. What other receipt should I write? It is obvious that the father pays for the antique first. It was done so that the antiques would not be obtained by others. At one time, there might be a place to clean up the antiques, and the antique shop was unable to hand them in, so they wrote a receipt first. Somehow, the receipt was not taken back, and it fell into their hands. On that day, the account Fang paid 85 yuan and bought a small antique. Now they think there is no evidence of death, so they add 3,115 yuan to make up the amount of the receipt." Fengju said: "This receipt probably cannot be forged , This antique store is also careless, there is a receipt of more than 3,000 yuan, why don't you take it back after handing over the antique?" Peifang said: "It's common to lose the receipt, as long as we write it to him like this, saying it's the one The receipt has been lost, the antique has been received, so the receipt is considered invalid, so don’t you forget it? As for your own family, how can he manage it if you use this to open a false account?” Feng Ju said: “Exactly! That's right! Let's take this account book and go to the antique shop to reconcile the accounts, and we're not afraid that we won't be able to get it right." Then, looking at the accounts, there are thousands and hundreds.While Fengju was washing up, she was planning how to settle these accounts.After rinsing, she said to Peifang: "This matter is no small matter, I will go to my mother to ask for instructions."

So he brought all the bills and books to Mrs. Jin's room, and told her the details.Mrs. Jin was also very surprised, and said: "It's okay. They dare to change the account books and falsify the accounts. It is conceivable that they usually swallow up money. This is something you can't control in private. It's hard to say. I want to show off my old face. You call Call Director Yang, I will talk to him personally, and ask him to send a few policemen to take care of these two things first, and then ask him if he wants to be private? Check the accounts, and if there is a piece of money that is unreliable, he has to spit it out." Feng Ju was also very angry, so he didn't think about it anymore, so he called the police chief.Not long after Jin Quan's death, their status in the officialdom is still there, and Director Yang really answered the call in person.Director Yang was even more astonished when Feng Ju told his mother that he had something to ask for advice.Mrs. Jin took the phone and made a general statement in person. Director Yang was probably involved in the Jin family's property. The matter was not trivial, so she came here by car.When Mrs. Jin heard that the police chief wanted to come by herself, she felt that it was a bit of a fuss.However, since they were willing to come, they had no reason to refuse, so they had to be entertained by Fu Fengju.Not long after, Director Yang arrived, Feng Ju asked to accompany him in the guest room, said a few polite words, and then told the situation of the account.The director said: "Does the money in and out of the house belong to these two accounts?" Feng Ju said: "Except for the large accounts of bank transactions, they all belong to them. There are probably six or seven hundred thousand a year. Amount." The director said with a smile: "Of course there is something wrong here. Please invite these two accountants out." Feng Ju agreed, called a servant, and went to invite Chai and Jia.At the same time, the director cast a wink at the two policemen who followed him.One policeman went out, but seven or eight policemen with pistols were brought in.Where did Feng Ju see this before, and was taken aback.When they came in, they all knew that Feng Ju was the uncle, and they raised their hands in salute, and stood behind a row of mahogany chairs.After a while, two accountants came in, and Feng Ju stood up after all, after all, he was a person whom he met every day.The police chief, however, turned his face straight and looked at the two of them with sideways eyes.When the two of them entered the door, they saw many policemen in the living room, and the police chief had also arrived, so they knew that something was wrong, they looked at each other, and stopped silently at a distance.The director wiped his beard with his hands, looked at Chai and Jia and said: "You two have managed the accounts for these years on behalf of Prime Minister Jin. Besides buying a few houses in Beijing, you probably also bought a lot of land at home. Said, you can be satisfied, why do you have to report a big lie when the prime minister passed away?" Chai and Jia's faces changed, they looked at the director, and then at Fengju.Although Feng Ju knew that Director Yang wanted to ridicule these two people, unexpectedly he even told about Chai and Jia's property ownership in Beijing.This matter has never been mentioned before, I don't know how he knows?Furthermore, Chai and Jia's expressions looked as if they had committed some serious crime, and there was no trace of blood.Director Yang said: "What you have done is morally ungrateful. There is nothing to say. According to the law, you are also a criminal." At this point, he looked at the policeman standing next to him and drank a glass of wine. Said: "Take him." Seeing the situation, Mr. Jia felt that he couldn't get rid of the responsibility, so he cupped his hands at Feng Ju and said, "Master, we are really wronged in this matter, please send someone to investigate carefully. We have been serving the Prime Minister all these years, even if there is something wrong with it, please remember some old love." Director Yang shouted: "I know what old love is, and you can't fabricate many lies after the death of the Prime Minister." Chai The gentleman also said: "It's the account of the house. We haven't explained it clearly. Please ask the director to let us find a guarantor who will arrive as soon as you pass." Director Yang shouted: "I only know how to arrest people, and don't care about other things. You need to protect us. Go to the court for security!" The policeman saw that the director had no intention of letting go, and everyone moved forward together, and they could not be separated, so they hugged Chai and Jia away.Feng Ju didn't know that Director Yang would do what he said, but he felt that it was a bit too much.Standing aside, also can not make a sound.Director Yang turned around, smiled at him, stepped forward, patted Feng Ju on the shoulder several times, and said with a smile, "Do you think I'm happy with what I did?" Feng Ju looked at it. In his situation, the awe-inspiring prestige he showed to Chai and Jia just now is completely gone.Yin smiled and said: "I didn't know how powerful the director is until today. I don't want to make things difficult for the two of them, as long as I tell the truth." Director Yang laughed: "As the saying goes, Bystanders are clear, our profession is to be a sincere bystander to the society, and in fact we don’t have any special skills. Please, sir, give me a bill for the account that has been found out. Maybe I can find a way without going to court. "Feng raised his hands and said: "That's even better. They are all old people in the hands of my late father. As long as the accounts are handed over and my mother forgives them, I won't ask too much." Director Yang said: "That's very good, the government After all, it is a loyal family, and I will not go to pay homage to Mrs. Tai." After finishing speaking, he left.Feng Ju thanked him very much, and didn't come back until he sent it to the gate.
