The fight between King Jin and the imperial court was fierce, but in just three months, they captured the two cities as originally planned. The north and south defense lines were connected. Now they could feel at ease and no longer need to be too wary of King Yu.
However, King Yu was not in a hurry. After taking Yandi, he began to recuperate and recruit troops. If there is no shortage of silver in the world, it is King Yu.
But as the momentum grows, some things will slowly surface.
Tang Yuerong, who was in charge of the overall situation in the capital, was mentally and physically exhausted at the moment. Now the court had noticed Tang's Trading Company.
The most serious thing is that two trading houses in King Jin's territory were secretly providing help to King Jin, which was beyond the scope of business. Because of this incident, she was in trouble when she was in Beijing.
Something happened to the people under his command, but now they are living happily under the protection of King Jin, but all the troubles are caused by them.
Things are very bad now.
But in fact, just because of this matter, Tang Yuerong is really not worried, because although this matter is in the name of her Tang's Trading Company, she can just ignore it in order to protect herself, but the key point is It's about checking the accounts...
The court sent someone to check the accounts...
There was nothing wrong with Prince Jin's account book. It was indeed not Tang Yuerong's idea for the trading bank to fund Prince Jin.
But there were big problems with several of the border account books from those early years.
At that time, Tang Mingjing secretly helped King Yu. Although every word had been erased or hidden in the account books in other words, he left suddenly, and some of the books were not preserved and there were suspicious things.
This made Tang Yuerong very worried.
After chatting secretly with several old shopkeepers at night, everyone knew that there was such a big deal.
"What does the boss think now?"
Tang Yuerong breathed a sigh of relief and said: "I'm not sure about this matter yet. Daddy went there suddenly and didn't give any instructions. Later I also looked at the kept account books, but in the end I couldn't find anything wrong with it. I’m not familiar with this area, so I don’t dare to let the shopkeeper down here take a look for the time being. The situation was urgent at the time, and I was afraid that someone might be interested..."
Several old shopkeepers nodded.
"It's understandable that the boss would do this."
"Where are those ledgers?"
Tang Yuerong said: "Those account books are in my hands now, especially those of the commercial bank. They will not find out how many books are missing for the time being. For now, Yuerong would like to ask a few elders to put in some effort and temporarily forge them." Come with an account and get rid of this."
Several old shopkeepers frowned and looked around but felt a little embarrassed.
"To be honest with my boss, when we first followed the master, although we were also doing business, we mostly dealt with favors and rarely took care of the account books. At that time, there were only three people who were most familiar with the account books, but the three of them, But he waited a step ahead of me and went west."
Tang Yuerong paused and said, "What should we do..."
It is not easy to falsify this account book.
The government not only checks the accounts, but also checks the entries and exits at that time, and the front and back must be correct. Of course, it is not possible to write casually. Some of the goods in the trading house also have records retained by the government. If you want to make this account book look flawless, it is simply impossible. It’s as difficult as climbing to heaven.
"I wonder if my boss can let me take a look at this account book first."
Tang Yuerong then took out one of the books and showed it to several old shopkeepers to read.
Several old shopkeepers gathered around and watched.
I have never eaten pork, but I have seen pigs running away.
With just a few glances, they could tell something was wrong.
"There's a big problem with this account book."
"I'm afraid I'm in trouble..."
Tang Yuerong sighed softly and said: "If this matter is not handled properly, the trading company will probably be destroyed. I wonder if any of the old shopkeepers know anyone. If they can make the account books perfect, the trading company can also Keep it for now, and..."
"We don't have much time. Maybe the government will soon discover the omissions in the ledger."
Several old shopkeepers were at a loss.
After a while, an old shopkeeper said: "A few years ago, when the master was still here, I heard that there was an expert in the world. He was originally a counselor under King Kang. Later, he offended King Kang and was imprisoned. After a disaster, he was saved by an immortal. After many twists and turns, he came to the account of King Wei. In just a few years, Wei's economy more than tripled. Later, after Wei was destroyed, this person was subdued by King Yan again, just like in Wei's land is ordinary, the methods are extraordinary, but the results are impressive in a few months."
"Now that Yandi has been destroyed, I don't know where this person is now."
"And it is said that he is very old and I don't know if he is still alive..."
"What is this person's name?"
"This person is called Rong Shili. Rumor has it that he has a nickname, Rong's cold eyes. His eyes are so cold that no one under his command dares to look at him, and no one dares to do anything wrong under his command."
Tang Yuerong frowned after hearing this. After thinking for a moment, he said, "I'll go and ask around. Are there any other candidates? If it's too far away, I won't be able to make it in time."
The conversation lasted until dawn.
Several old shopkeepers also hurried back.
After Tang Yuerong left the house, she went to an alley, walked through the deep alley, turned a few more turns, and soon smelled the aroma of wine.
There is a tavern hidden in this deep alley.
There was basically no one in the tavern. There was only one shopkeeper, who took over all the waiter's work.
When Tang Yuerong came in, he heard an exclamation.
"Ouch! Here comes the visitor, here comes the visitor!!"
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up and he asked quickly: "Sir, are you drinking, and you are drinking tea."
Tang Yuerong replied: "Drink tea during the day and drink at night."
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up even more when he heard this.
"Big business!"
The shopkeeper rubbed his hands and then invited Tang Yuerong into the back room.
The further you go, the deeper it becomes.
"Guest, please be careful where you step."
After walking for a long time, the two of them stopped and came in.
There was no light here, but after the shopkeeper lit a candle, I could see a little more clearly.
When he turned his head again, he saw that the surroundings were blocked by walls, and the same was true above his head.
No one understands how this is done.
People who come here for the first time are very panicked. They clearly remember that they followed the road to get here, but when it lights up, they are surrounded by dead ends, as if they are trapped here.
Tang Yuerong's expression did not change. This was not her first time here.
The shopkeeper sat down and immediately asked: "I wonder what the guest wants to know?"
Tang Yuerong said: "I want you to help me invite someone. This person's name is Rong Shili. He was previously under the account of King Yan."
After hearing this, the shopkeeper said: "Please? This is not your first time, guest. You should understand our rules in the white night. We only ask questions in the white night and don't do anything."
