Sitting in Lou Yefeng's room, Pei Nianyu mobilized his deep inner strength, and heard the rustling sound of the skirt of the door outside the door disappearing into the leaves with the wind, and couldn't help smiling slightly.

He knew that Old He couldn't come in, so he obediently stayed away, so he asked Lou Yefeng:

"What's the matter, and you have to avoid the shadow guards, and you have to report to Old He? But judging by your appearance, I'm afraid it's not an important matter..."

Lou Yefeng was noncommittal:

"It doesn't matter if you say it's important. This kind of thing...it's true that it never passed your ears before, but this time, cough."

Seeing that he looked a little strange, Pei Nianyu gave him a comforting smile, and said in a casual tone:

"Just say it."

Lou Yefeng watched the movement of the master playing with his palm, and started to talk about the matter:

"That's right, it's almost the end of the new year. Some time ago, the government began to collect the annual records of Zhuangzi from all over the country as usual, and the accounts of the one-year operation of the shops in Capital City and the rent of various properties.By the way, let's sort out those... Cough, master, you know, this is the custom in our house."

Pei Nianyu understood that the "convention" Lou Yefeng said was that every year before the Chinese New Year, senior officials would check all the servants in the palace for faults.

Among the so-called servants, the servants and maids in the mansion are second. After all, they are under the nose of the prince and senior officials, and the number of them is substantial.Most of them refer to those who manage the tenants on the King Manor outside, as well as those who are in charge of the business property.

Outside of the palace, there are many people belonging to King Yu Palace, and there are also many fat jobs. What will happen in this, needless to say.For example, at the end of each year, each Zhuangzi handed over the official account to the Wangfu, and it was handed over layer by layer. After many hands, it was inevitable that part of it would be lost.

As little as 20% to 30%, as much as 40% or 50%.

However, these "hidden rules" are not the main target of Gao Tong's investigation and punishment, because Pei Nianyu basically turned a blind eye to it.He is the only master in his palace, and the biggest expense in daily life is... raising this bunch of shadow guards.

So like a miser, he has to take every penny of his property into his arms every year... There is no need for that.

But there is one thing that Pei Nianyu absolutely cannot tolerate, that is, under the royal family system, anyone who relies on the power of the King Yu Palace to bully the people is not allowed.From the most common annexation of property, down to the exploitation of tenants in various King Manors, the forced purchase of fields, etc., one by one.

Before he transmigrated, because he knew Pei Niancheng's ideal of a Mingjun, he held onto his house very tightly.Otherwise, if something goes wrong in his house, how can Pei Niancheng deal with himself if he asks the censor to read a book in the court hall?

Therefore, Pei Nianyu was extremely loose in the rules of respect and money for the servants in his mansion, but here he would not tolerate the use of power to corrupt the people.It's okay to touch the oil and water of his prince, but it's not good to fish for the oil and water of the common people.

After Pei Nianyu's memories of the two lives were merged, his style became... even worse.

After all, Pei Nianyu's perception of his own identity has changed from a "nobility in heaven" to a big landlord who doesn't do production and is supported by the vast number of exploited classes.

So, how could he allow any possible discordant incidents that could spark class conflicts to occur on his own territory?He has no ability to manage other people, this can only be handed over to Xiao Sheng to fulfill his "big ideal", but he can still manage it on his own territory.

So there is this practice of liquidation before the new year - this is Pei Nianyu's bad taste, purely because he doesn't want those moths to have a safe year.

It's just that the annual liquidation was done by Gao Tong in the past, and he would be reported to him after the liquidation was completed, and then those who violated the law and discipline should be handed over to the officials.

Pei Nianyu frowned slightly:

"Hmm... why did this matter have something to do with you this year?"

"About half a month ago, the senior manager came to see his subordinates alone. He said that this year was different. There was a small manager in the mansion who took a fancy to a... small restaurant in the west of the city and wanted to conspire with someone to mix it up.Feet. The reason for taking it is that he has the recipe recipe of the chef in the palace..."

Pei Nianyu's face turned dark. What's the matter? In previous years, there were fewer lawbreakers in the mansion, but only two or three.This year, this year, because of the sudden boom in the catering industry, many people are jealous...

"It's just that the matter involves the third son of Anpinghou's mansion. It seems that the mansion also wants to get involved. I heard that they went too far and gave birth to the second daughter of the little shopkeeper... Then the Pingxihou's mansion againIt's from one faction, so within two days the defendant sent it out...the Capital City government office was thinking..."

When Pei Nianyu heard his Ye Feng analyze this for him, his head grew dizzy.When he was a prince before, he had to listen to these complicated relationships for planning and calculation, but after Pei Niancheng became the throne, he never heard of it again.

"...Skip, skip, and get straight to the point."

"In short, seeing that the case involved a lot in Capital, the senior executives were afraid that the little steward who committed the crime would do something wrong. He would be interrogated in the yamen and implicate the government, so he called his subordinates toFirst trial."

"...And this year is different from previous years. There are rumors in the court that His Majesty intends to rectify the old nobles in the coming year. So the senior executive simply asked his subordinates to check other suspicious people by the way, lest His Majesty liquidate those people next year., if any old accounts are found out, they will be kidnapped from our house."

In fact, if this kind of thing was really involved in his Prince Yu's mansion, Pei Niancheng would definitely wipe it out for his brother without anyone noticing.But I'm not afraid of 10,000, just in case, if there is a case that he doesn't know about beforehand, Pei Nianyu doesn't want to cause trouble for his brother.

Therefore, even though the abuse of lynching of domestic servants is prohibited by Da Jing's laws, the handling of cases by shadow guards has never been within the jurisdiction of the laws...

That's why Gao Tong borrowed Lou Yefeng's hand to handle this matter.

Lou Yefeng paused, then said:

"It's just that when the subordinate was interrogating... he used some means..."

When he said this, he couldn't help but stop and take a peek at the master.

Naturally, Pei Nianyu knew that Ye Feng was afraid that Ye Feng would feel that he had acted too harshly. After all, these people were different from Lou Yefeng's "work objects" in the past, they were ordinary people with no power to restrain them.

So he nodded, expressing "understood", motioning him to continue.

Lou Yefeng saw that the master had no objection, so he said:

"The ones that were found out in the trial are indeed true, so I won't come with the master one by one. The senior executives have detailed records."

"What I want to say is... during the trial, those people, they, they don't know what they were thinking, maybe they were afraid of torture, and they wanted to bribe the subordinates to reduce their guilt..."

Pei Nianyu was taken aback when he heard this.

"Their private properties are all managed in the mansion, and they are really greedy. The amount is so huge that it really staggers the subordinates. Therefore, the subordinates first pretended to be greedy for money, and collected all of them, only to force them to spit out more.Many, when the subordinates feel that they can't squeeze it out, they will use real means to make them confess their crimes..."

Pei Nianyu: "..."

He suddenly remembered that some time ago, he had arranged a task for Gao Tong, which was to ask him to find a way to find a job for Lou Yefeng that could make money in a fair and honest manner... After all, Lou Yefeng's own salary depositIt's all too bright, and it's too miserable.

Gao Tong killed two birds with one stone, he used the name of the shadow guard to deal with people in the family that he couldn't deal with in the name of the palace, and also made Lou Yefeng a huge windfall.

Older gingers are more spicy.

When Lou Yefeng got rich, Pei Nianyu was as happy as he was getting rich, so he held a teacup, concealed his smile, and asked:

"So... how much did you charge?"

Lou Yefeng pursed his lips and looked at him:

"The total is... twenty-seven thousand taels of silver."

Pei Nianyu calculated in his mind that a shadow guard can save almost ten thousand to twenty thousand silver in his career.

But Shadow Guard is a notoriously high-risk job with a high salary. The big and small bosses in his family only earn three to five taels of silver a month. To have so much private property is naturally all kinds of greedy tricks.

According to Lou Yefeng, a total of four housekeepers were investigated and dealt with, Lou Yefeng took almost all of their family property, this amount was within Pei Nianyu's expectation.

So he thought, Lou Yefeng, a shadow guard who has worked so hard, has more private wealth than other shadow guards, so it is natural and reasonable for him to earn two thousand three thousand.

Unexpectedly, Pei Nianyu thought beautifully, the next moment, Lou Yefeng took out a wooden box from the closet beside him, and opened it in front of him:

"The twenty-three thousand silver, converted into bank notes, is all here."

Immediately Lou Yefeng got up, stepped back half a step, knelt down and said:

"The subordinates did not report to the master and accepted bribes privately, please punish the master."

Pei Nianyu: "..."

This is so... a waste of effort.

Pei Nianyu's hand holding the teacup froze for a moment.

In fact, both Gao Tong and Pei Nianyu knew that Lou Yefeng would never swallow it without saying a word, but... he wouldn't keep all his money and hand it all over, right?

Pei Nianyu is so worried, what can this honest boy do.

Now that Lou Yefeng took the initiative to confess to him, he couldn't force it back, otherwise, if Lou Yefeng found out his intentions, wouldn't he feel even more awkward.

So Pei Nianyu had no choice but to put down the teacup and said:

"Don't do this with me, you know I won't care about this. You get up first."

After Lou Yefeng got up and sat back, Pei Nianyu tapped his fingers on the table, pretending to be thinking:

"You are not at fault in this matter, so you don't need to be so cautious. After all, you are still doing errands for the mansion, and such general affairs are not within the responsibilities of your shadow guard."

"Therefore, according to the old rules in the officialdom, you can deduct 30% of this kind of matters as your own service fee..."

This can be regarded as the unspoken rule of the previous dynasties, so whenever someone in the court was ransacked or something like that, whoever got it was always envious.

Lou Yefeng was stunned, he naturally knew this unwritten rule, but their shadow guards... how could they follow this?

"Master... this is not right..."

Pei Nianyu ignored him, and said:

"It's just that since you took it in advance without permission, half of it will be deducted as a punishment for not reporting in advance. How about this, I will leave you a fraction of 3,000, and the remaining 20,000, you will..."

He originally wanted to say that you would hand it over to Fu Chen as the shadow guard's daily expenses.But he immediately realized that this matter was left to him, and he must pay it all, so he quickly changed his words:

"I will collect the remaining 20,000 yuan. It just happens to be Chinese New Year. I will distribute 10,000 yuan to the shadow guards. The remaining 10,000 yuan will go to the government to buy some delicious food. Everyonehave a share."

This was already the best way Pei Nianyu could think of.If there are too many, Lou Yefeng will definitely not want it.There are only a few thousand taels of silver, which he may not pay attention to in his vision, so he can accept it.

Seeing that he still wanted to refute, Pei Nianyu smiled and said:

"Don't look at me with that expression. Anyway, their greedy ink is my money. Now that you have helped me take it back, you should take some."

"Okay, don't mention it again."

Lou Yefeng had no choice but to keep his mouth shut.Pei Nianyu looked like he didn't take this matter to heart at all, but suddenly moved over with an inexplicable expression:

"What I want to know is...why didn't you tell me before, and you didn't tell me until today?"

Lou Yefeng was at a loss for words, and suddenly his expression darkened slightly:

"A few days ago... you, you were angry with your subordinates. I'm afraid that if you tell you, you will think that your subordinates will make their own decisions. The subordinates are afraid that you will add to your anger, and then you will be angry....so it's convenient, so I delayed talking to you for a few days."

Pei Nianyu narrowed his eyes, his eyes slightly narrowed:

"Oh? You have a lot of thoughtfulness. If you delay talking to me for a few days, don't you just make up your own mind?"

"Subordinates..."

Lou Yefeng lowered his head and didn't see the master's expression, seeing that the master was dissatisfied after all, he couldn't help feeling tense.He raised his head quickly, and was about to admit his mistake, but suddenly bumped into the smile in the master's eyes, and was stunned for a moment.

Seeing his honest and well-behaved appearance, Pei Nianyu was overjoyed.Taking advantage of the situation, she grabbed the hem of his clothes and went forward to ask for a goodnight kiss.

"Okay, let's go to rest early, are you going to learn the second style tomorrow?"

"...Yes, master, you should go to bed earlier."

The author has something to say:
