Seeing Leng Ming's sharp tone, the dozen or so soldiers standing in front of Leng Ming lowered their heads and did not dare to speak.
After Leng Ming finished his anger, he rolled his eyes and said again:
"Old Wu, are you going to show me your inventory data?"
"Hui Mingwang, the previous inventory data was all under my control. Now that you are here, it should be under your control. I will get it right now."
Seeing that Lao Wu wanted to get the account book, he waved to the others impatiently.
"You all go down, Lao Wu stays, I have something to say."
After everyone left, he said to Lao Wu:
"Old Wu, now I have something to tell you. I will bring the inventory data you recorded before to me. I will learn from it. When my fourth brother asks about it later, you have to tell him that these data are mine. It’s been sorted out, and you’re not allowed to say the wrong thing, can you do it?”
Old Wu nodded hurriedly, "Prince Ming, don't worry, Old Wu knows what to say."
Leng Ming waved his hand with satisfaction,
"Well, as long as you do as I say, this position of warehouse manager will be returned to you soon. Now go get me the ledger, and then bring me a new ledger and pen..."
Since there is ready-made data there, why should he bother to check it again? What's the point of checking those things? This thing will not be lost in the military camp.
After a while, Old Wu brought the old account book and the new account book respectively. Leng Ming ordered Old Wu:
"Go and stand guard at the door, let me know if someone comes..."
Leng Ming only spent one afternoon on the work that could have been done in three days, but he didn't want to go to Fourth Brother so early to avoid being discovered by him. He didn't want Fourth Brother to know that he got it without any effort. These data……
When leaving the military camp at night, he deliberately pretended to be tired and greeted Xiao Lingzi and others.
"I'm so tired today that my back hurts. I have to go back first."
Xiao Lingzi hurriedly told:
"Prince Ming, please come early tomorrow. The prince is waiting for you..."
Leng Ming waved his hand without looking back.
"I know, I won't be late."
Since the fourth brother asked him to guard the warehouse, he would simply guard it for three days and see what else the fourth brother could say when he handed over the data on the goods in the warehouse three days later.
Thinking of this, his steps became much more brisk, and he whistled unconsciously...
Three days flew by. During these three days, Leng Ming ate well and slept well in the warehouse, living a life of dawdling.
Just after noon on the third day, he came to Leng Yu with the account books he had copied in advance.
Leng Yu said to Xiao Lingzi without raising his head:
"Go and ask Lao Wu to bring you the account books. You can check a pair and see if there are any discrepancies in the quantities? Write them down by the way and check them later."
Hearing this, Leng Ming raised his head proudly and smiled proudly. His account book was compared with Lao Wu's account book and copied intact, so there would be no mistakes.
After a while, Lao Wu came to Leng Yu with his account book, bowed and replied:
"If I go back to the general, my subordinates can see with their own eyes that Prince Ming has been staying in the warehouse all day these days, getting up early and working in the dark to check the number of items in the warehouse. The data is very accurate."
Leng Yu didn't want to listen to what he said, but just waved his hand. Xiao Lingzi hurriedly took the account book, sat at the table on the right, and proofread it carefully.
After about a stick of incense, Xiao Lingzi stood up and walked to the center of the main hall, cupped his fists and saluted:
"Your Majesty, my subordinates have proofread it and it is correct word for word."
Verbatim?
When Leng Yu heard these four words, his brows knitted together and he paused for a long time before saying:
"It seems that Sixth Brother has put his heart into it. Bring it over and let me see it for myself."
In fact, he had wanted to renovate this military depot for a long time, but because he had no time recently and had to deal with court affairs, he did not have much energy, so he had put it on hold. He originally thought of taking advantage of Leng Ming's visit to the military camp. He was asked to find out what was wrong with the munitions depot. Unexpectedly, the data he found was exactly the same as the data provided by Old Wu.
This had to make him doubt whether Leng Ming was really doing this with his heart.
When Xiao Lingzi handed two accounts to Leng Yu, Leng Ming was busy explaining,
"Fourth brother, this is the data that took me three days to compile. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it. If you don't believe me, just ask Lao Wu."
Old Wu also nodded hurriedly and replied:
"Yes, my subordinates saw the records made by Prince Ming personally inspecting the items."
Leng Yu didn't answer him, nor did he look up at him.
He stared at the two ledgers, and the more he looked at them, the uglier his face became. Until he saw the middle part, his face had turned blue and white.
"Snapped!"
He slapped his palm heavily on the account book, stared at Leng Ming with a pair of sharp eyes, and shouted sternly:
"Is this data you personally checked?"
Leng Ming was confused by his sudden question, but he still tried his best to stabilize his emotions and nodded hurriedly.
"Yes, I checked it myself."
"you are lying……"
Leng Yu's voice suddenly became extremely high-pitched, and the anger in that voice seemed to be able to devour people.
Leng Ming shuddered secretly and shook his head in denial.
"No... no... I... I dare not... dare not lie..."
"Hmph! Since you're not lying, please explain. On page 15 of the account book, Old Wu marked it. Today, 1,500 pieces of ready-made clothes were shipped out of the warehouse for the new soldiers entering the military camp. Why is your Are they also used in the ledger? Even the writing positions are exactly the same? Could it be that 1,500 pieces of ready-made clothes were shipped out of the warehouse in the past three days? Could it be that more than a thousand recruits entered the military camp in the past three days? "
this……
Leng Ming was left speechless by the question. Leng Yu took a deep breath and continued:
"There is also page 19. Old Wu made a note at the bottom. Today, the general ordered to reward the three armies. Ten fattened pigs and 500 live chickens will be served as dinner. They will be put into the warehouse and taken out the next day. They will only be recorded and not put into the warehouse. Data, why are you here the same again? How come I don’t know that I rewarded the three armies in the past three days? Where are the ten fat pigs and five hundred live chickens? Take them out for me to see..."
At this point, Leng Yu was so angry that veins were popping on his face. Looking at Leng Ming standing with his hands hanging down, he instantly felt like he hated iron.
Leng Ming pondered for a long time, and Xu made up his mind to vent his dissatisfaction. He looked up at Leng Yu, with a serious face, and said word by word:
"Fourth brother, I originally thought that with the relationship between us two brothers and my status as Prince Ming, you would find me a position in the military camp where I could show off my skills. But what about you? ? Let me guard the warehouse and let me go there to check those messy items. These things are clearly recorded. Why do you insist on asking me to check? And you only give me three days. There are so many things. How can I be alone for three days? Can you finish counting? I can understand that you are deliberately making things difficult for me?"
"Am I making things difficult for you? Leng Ming, I told you before, don't underestimate the job of guarding the warehouse. The warehouse is the most important place in the entire military camp. It seems that you don't understand my good intentions at all."
"Hahaha, good intentions? What you said is so nice. The job of guarding the warehouse can be done by one person. I, Leng Ming, have been practicing martial arts since I was a child and I am familiar with military books. Why do you overuse your talents? Let me go to that useless place. Go to the warehouse? You have known for a long time that when I was a child, I hated my mother-in-law for forcing me to learn writing knowledge that I didn’t like, but you arranged such an errand for me. Didn’t you mean to embarrass me or something? It’s such a waste. I trust you for once.”
