Chapter 1742 Robbery
The governor of Guanzhou took the opportunity to make trouble for others, but Lord Shao said nothing, so of course they all started to get restless.
People who are used to getting benefits will certainly not give up easily!
Guan Zhoucheng held the account book in his hand and shook it at the clerk Fang, sneering: "Don't look so sad. I will return it to you after I have read it. What do I want this for? Can it be eaten? Why didn't you take it out earlier? It's disgraceful to make such a fuss!"
"that is!"
"If you don't accept my toast, I'll punish you!"
"Shame on you!"
"Oh, I don't think he's shameless, he just thinks he's too shameless!"
“Hahaha, that’s right!”
Hu Shuli and others, after a round of mockery, surrounded Guanzhou Cheng and left.
When the others saw that there was nothing exciting to watch, the timid ones quickly slipped away and went back to their own places to do their own work.
There were also people who had a good relationship with Fang Shuli, so they stayed to help him clean up and gave him some words of comfort and advice.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Sun Bai, Qing Yan and others followed Shao Yunduan in.
Even though he had heard the yamen runner's detailed report, Shao Yunduan still frowned when he saw this situation: "What's going on?"
"grown ups!"
"Master Shao!"
Everyone greeted him quickly.
The clerk bowed and said, "I am ashamed of myself, Your Excellency. The account book was taken away by the governor of Guanzhou... I am incompetent, please punish me, Your Excellency!"
Shao Yunduan had a stern brow and dark eyes that were unfathomable. The dark red official uniform he wore added to his prestige.
He glanced at the clerk and uttered a few words from his thin lips: "I have explained it clearly before. You can't do it, so you should be punished. You will be fined for two months. If you do it again next time, you will be fined for half a year."
Everyone was startled, and some people who originally wanted to plead for Fang Shuli were so frightened that they dared not say a word.
"Yes, thank you, sir!"
The clerk accepted the punishment respectfully.
When Lord Shao gave him the responsibility for this matter, he solemnly reminded him and also told him that if he felt he could not do it, he could refuse.
But he thought that this matter was not difficult, and could even be said to be very simple. Wasn't it just a matter of getting approval before being allowed to receive various account books?
This should have been the rule!
It can be seen that he was too naive not to think much about it at the time.
He forgot that this is Anzezhou...
Since he had accepted the assignment, he couldn't do it no matter what the reason was. Lord Shao's fine of two months' salary was already a favor to him.
Shao Yunduan returned to his office coldly and ordered people to call Guan Zhoucheng and all the clerks who were present at the scene.
Guanzhou Cheng and his gang were chatting and laughing smugly while looking at the account book together.
When they saw that there were still more than 20,000 taels of silver in the account book, they were so excited that they all shouted that everyone had worked so hard recently, and since there was silver in the account book, it should be shared among everyone!
Otherwise, I really don’t have the energy to do anything anymore.
It’s more than 20,000 taels, one person may get a lot!
Some people couldn't help but grumble and complain that Lord Shao was so rich, yet he couldn't wait to transfer hundreds of thousands of taels to his own family.
Although he was paying off a debt, he was not short of money, so why was he in such a hurry?
If there is any extra silver, it should be used in the government first!
If it was the money owed to several big families like before, they would not have asked for it. In comparison, Lord Shao was a little too stingy...
As they were talking excitedly, someone from Shao Yunduan came to invite them. Everyone paused and looked at Guan Zhoucheng.
