Qian Yousheng obviously knew this, and everyone was riding on his face. If he, the leader of the hall, didn't find a place for his subordinates, how would he be able to convince the public in the future?
"Liu Shen, do you know what you are talking about?"
"Of course I know..."
Liu Shen nodded and said, "But I'm just telling the truth. If Hall Master Qian doesn't believe it, how about we make a bet?"
"bet?"
Qian Yousheng sneered and asked, "How to bet?"
"Just bet on whether I'm talking nonsense!"
Liu Shen looked at the piled account books and said, "Looking at your manpower and posture, you are ready to take care of the accounts tomorrow."
"If I can calculate these accounts clearly within two hours, it proves that I am not talking nonsense. If I win, Hall Master Qian has to do me a small favor;"
"If I haven't calculated these accounts clearly after two hours, it means that I am talking nonsense. Naturally, Hall Master Qian will count you as the winner. I will not only apologize to all the accounting gentlemen, but Hall Master Qian can also ask me to do something. thing."
Liu Shen smiled at Qian Yousheng as he spoke, and said provocatively: "All the gambling stalls and gambling houses in Heyang County are under the care of Hall Master Qian. Hall Master Qian will not even make such a small bet." You don’t even dare to agree, do you?”
"You brat, stop irritating me!"
Qian Yousheng sneered disdainfully, then patted the table and said, "I really don't believe you today can handle so many accountants in my hall!"
"Then Hall Master Qian means gambling?"
"I, Qian Yousheng, will bet with you today!"
"good!"
Liu Shen clapped his thighs and stood up, cupped his hands in front of all the accounting gentlemen, and said with a smile: "Dear gentlemen, Mr. Liu wants to ask Hall Master Qian for a favor, so his words are full of offense, and I hope Haihan will do it."
"It doesn't matter. It doesn't matter."
The accountant, Old Li Tou, waved his hands indifferently and said, "If Hall Master Liu is really so talented, it would be an eye-opener for us people to see him."
"Please make room!"
"Hall Master Liu, please!"
Liu Shen smiled, and when he saw all the accountants and clerks vacating their seats, he calmly sat down at the main seat, holding a pen in his right hand and flipping through the account books with his left hand.
In just a cup of tea, an account book was turned over. Liu Shen wrote down the accounts and said casually: "This account book contains a total of sixty-seven taels of gold, one thousand seven hundred and forty-eight taels of silver, and three hundred and seventeen copper coins." There are eighty-six pieces left in the twelve guans.”
After that, he threw the account book aside, then took another account book and started to read through it.
Qian Yousheng next to him saw that Liu Shen didn't even dial the abacus, but only looked through it once to calculate the result. His expression was full of surprise.
He winked at Lao Litou beside him. Lao Litou also took the account book and abacus with understanding, and waved to several clerks to follow them.
Then several people were calculating carefully...
Liu Shen just smiled when he saw this. After a while, before Old Li Tou finished the calculation, he checked out another account book and said with a smile: "The total expenditure in this account book is 868 taels of silver. Five hundred and thirty-eight copper coins, nothing left."
After that, he started calculating the third account book.
Not long after, Old Li seemed to have sorted out the account book just now, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and looked at Liu Shen as if he was seeing a monster.
He carefully approached Qian Yousheng and whispered: "Master Qian, the total account credit is sixty-seven taels of gold, one thousand, seven hundred and forty-eight taels of silver, and three hundred and seventy-two taels of copper. Six…”
"Um?"
Qian Yousheng glanced at him in surprise.
Lao Li nodded and muttered in a suppressed voice: "Liu... Hall Master Liu's calculation is absolutely correct!"
"..."
Qian Yousheng's face twitched when he heard this. Seeing that Liu Shen's third account book was almost finished, he became more and more surprised and said: "Let's calculate that one too..."
"yes."
Old Li Tou went back with the second account book.
It wasn't until Liu Shen calculated the fifth account book that he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and returned to Qian Yousheng's side. His Adam's apple rolled up and down and he said: "The total expenditures in the accounts are eight hundred and sixty-eight taels of silver and copper coins." Five hundred and thirty-eight strings, nothing left."
"..."
"Hangzhu Liu's calculation...it's accurate!"
"..."
Upon hearing this, Qian Yousheng looked Liu Shen up and down with a strange look on his face. Was there any hint of amusement or dissatisfaction in his expression?
Liu Shen threw aside the fifth account book in his hand, stretched and said, "This book has a total expenditure of 681 taels of silver and 763 copper coins. There is nothing left."
He paused for a moment, looked at Qian Yousheng with a strange expression on his face, and said with a smile: "Hall Master Qian, I was conservative when I said the calculation would take two hours. Judging from this, the calculation should be completed in one and a half hours."
"..."
Qian Yousheng's face trembled when he heard this, and he asked with a look of surprise on his face: "Do you really have such a talent?"
"It's just knowing some arithmetic, it doesn't mean anything..."
Liu Shen pointed to a few account books on the side and asked: "I have calculated these books. Don't you want someone to do the calculation again?"
"No need..."
Qian Yousheng waved his hand, then glanced at Lao Litou beside him, and said: "You guys go down and come back tomorrow to calculate the accounts."
"yes…"
All the accountants also knew that Hall Master Qian must have something private to discuss with Hall Master Liu, and they all wisely withdrew at that moment.
In the room, Qian Yousheng and Liu Shen looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes, and the atmosphere was a bit subtle...
The two were silent for a long time. Qian Yousheng couldn't bear his temper and spoke first: "Why do you want to find me?"
"Little things..."
Liu Shenyi said pointedly: "I would like to ask Hall Master Qian to sharpen his knife and kill a pig for me."
"Kill the pig..."
Qian Yousheng's eyes narrowed slightly when he heard this...
"Killing pigs" is a slang term in gambling houses, which means designing a series of gambling games to defraud people of money.
Qingsha Gang's Qianzhuang Tangkou is responsible for the large and small gambling stalls and gambling houses in Heyang County, and Qian Yousheng is the owner of this Qianzhuang Tangkou, so he naturally knows what "killing pigs" means.
Qian Yousheng knocked on the table and asked, "How much does the pig you want to kill weigh?"
"Not light..."
"How much pork do you want?"
"More than ten thousand pounds!"
Liu Shen also knocked on the table and said: "The shorter the time, the better, and the heavier the pork, the better!"
"hiss……"
Hearing this, Qian Yousheng took a breath from between his teeth and asked with his eyes widened: "Aren't you making things difficult for me? There are only a handful of people in Heyang County with such a rich family background. Who would be so stupid as to be a pig? "
"We are not from Heyang County..."
Liu Shen waved his hand to signal him to calm down and asked, "Hall Master Qian should know about the Song family in the south of our city, right?"
"Know…"
Qian Yousheng frowned and said, "Mr. Song is a capable man. Is the pig you want to kill related to the Song family?"
"It has something to do with it..."
Liu Shen sighed and explained that Mr. Song had arranged a marriage for his only son in the early years, but his only son died, Mr. Song's health was deteriorating, and now the Pei family shamelessly came to seek inheritance.
"What is your relationship with the Song family?"
Qian Yousheng looked weird again and asked, "Why do you know so much about the Song family? Why did Mr. Song tell the story of his will to an outsider like you?"
"Mr. Song is kind to me..."
Liu Shen pondered for a while, but did not explain his relationship with Pei Xueyan, but said: "Hall Master Qian also knows that I came here as a refugee in my early years. I drank the porridge provided by the Song family for disaster relief, and I was also fortunate enough to receive food from the Song family. My old man gave me some martial arts advice. Today I heard that Mr. Song was seriously ill in bed, so I went to visit the Song family. Unexpectedly, Mr. Song left after talking to me about this matter."
He sighed and added: "It's not my nature not to repay kindness, let alone the kindness of martial arts guidance, so I have the nerve to come here and ask Hall Master Qian for a favor."
"As a member of the martial arts world, this is what we should be doing!"
Qian Yousheng nodded slightly, his impression of Liu Shen also changed, and asked: "Is the pig you want to kill the second generation ancestor of the Pei family?"
"good…"
Liu Shen nodded and said: "The man's name is Pei Hongyu. He likes gambling. He looks like a dog and holds a folding fan in his hand. He is probably still in the gambling stall."
"It's easy if you like gambling!"
Qian Yousheng smiled with his eyes slightly moved, and then he snorted coldly and said, "It's rare for you to ask for anything from me, so I'll take it on!"
His voice paused, then he raised his eyebrows and said, "Also, I have made a friend of yours!"
"Hahahaha~"
