The battle for the throne in Kowloon starts with the steady prince

Chapter 63 I didn't let him, but he insisted (asking for monthly tickets and follow-up reading)

In the hall of the governor's mansion.

Qin Changge rolled his eyes at Mei Yinxiang, the governor of the state, and said, "Cooking accounts? How is that possible? Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

Yunzhou Mumei Yinxiang smiled awkwardly, "Of course not, of course not!"

Qin Changge rolled his eyes and said, "When the Duzhi doctor comes over, I will give the account book to him. Don't worry."

Mei Yinxiang explained, "You can just give me the account book and I'll pass it on."

Qin Changge shook his head. "No, what if you write something on my account book?"

Mei Yinxiang: “…”

"Okay, then I will let Doctor Duzhi come over to hand it over to you as soon as possible." Mei Yinxiang nodded.

"Let's go." Qin Changge took Xiao Dashan and left the governor's mansion.

"Please take care, Your Highness." Mei Yinxiang saw Qin Changge off.

Looking at Qin Changge's departing back, Mei Yinxiang sighed. Qin Changge was good in every way except that his personality was too weird.

However, the governors of other states may be even worse off. Facing powerful vassal kings such as Qin Changqing, King of Jin, Qin Changfeng, King of Ning, and Qin Changjian, King of Zhou, they will definitely be suffocated.

In comparison, Mei Yinxiang is already lucky.

……

……

Prince Liang's Mansion.

In the hall, Qin Changge and Xiao Dashan came back.

Qin Changge hurriedly said, "Hurry up and take out the account book to see if there is anything wrong."

Xiao Dashan took out his little notebook and handed it to Qin Changge.

"Is this the account book?" Qin Changge was stunned.

Xiao Dashan shrugged his shoulders. "Your Highness, in order to save money, we don't have a dedicated accountant in the mansion."

"..."

Qin Changge looked at the messy account book and couldn't help but cover his head. "How can I show this kind of account book to the fourth brother?"

Xiao Dashan said, "We can temporarily hire an accountant to sort it out for us."

"Okay..." Qin Changge nodded, "Hurry up, go to Qinglong Treasure Shop and find someone more professional!"

"Okay." Xiao Dashan went to Qinglong Baohang immediately.

However, at this time, the Duzhi Langzhong from the Duzhi Department had already arrived at Prince Liang's Mansion.

The Prince of Liang's Mansion is very big, but there are very few people. There is not even a guard to watch over the house, or it may be that Xiao Dashan, the guard, just left.

"I, Pei Tingfeng, request to see the prince." Pei Tingfeng, the doctor of the Ministry of Finance, spoke in a loud voice, mainly because he was worried that Qin Changge could not hear him.

Qin Changge did hear it, but now was not the right time, so he prepared to pretend not to hear it.

At this time, Xiao Dashan came over with the accountant of Qinglong Baoxing.

Pei Tingfeng looked at Xiao Dashan and said, "Sir, I am a doctor of the Ministry of Revenue. I have come here to check the accounts of the princes. Please lead the way."

"Uh……"

Xiao Dashan looked at Pei Tingfeng, not knowing what to do.

"You stay here first, I'll go and ask the prince." Xiao Dashan said, and then pulled the accountant in.

Pei Tingfeng, the doctor of finance, looked at the accountant and coughed twice. "Brother Hao, if the prince asks you to cook the accounts, please refuse. Otherwise, we will all lose our heads."

The accountant obviously knew Pei Tingfeng and said, "No, it seems that the prince has not sorted out the account books, so he asked me to come and sort them out. He is not making false accounts."

Pei Tingfeng heard this and said, "If that's the case, Brother Hao, please go back. It's my job to sort out the accounts."

"Okay." The accountant went back.

Obviously, this kind of thing could be a big deal or a small one, and the accountant didn't want to risk his life for a few pieces of silver.

"..." Xiao Dashan watched the accountant leave, not knowing how to explain to Qin Changge.

"Sir, please lead the way." Pei Tingfeng bowed.

Xiao Dashan had no choice but to take Pei Tingfeng with him and walk into the palace hall.

At this time, Qin Changge looked at Xiao Dashan and Pei Tingfeng and said, "Hurry up and sort out the account books. Leave that doctor outside alone for now and pretend that I'm not at home!"

"Uh..." Xiao Dashan looked at Qin Changge awkwardly.

Pei Tingfeng bowed to Qin Changge and said, "Doctor Pei Tingfeng of the Ministry of Finance pays homage to His Majesty."

Qin Changge: "..."

Qin Changge stared at Xiao Dashan with wide eyes, "I asked you to ask the accountant, not to bring back the doctor!"

Xiao Dashan opened his mouth and said, "Your Majesty, I wouldn't let him, but he insisted."

Pei Tingfeng explained, "Your Majesty, this is my duty. Please forgive me."

Qin Changge covered his face and said, "Forget it, just give him the account book!"

Only then did Xiao Dashan hand the small notebook to Pei Tingfeng.

Pei Tingfeng glanced at the messy accounts in the small notebook without changing his expression.

Qin Changge asked curiously, "Is there anything wrong with this account book?"

Pei Tingfeng explained, "This can only be considered a minor problem. The major problems are those that appear to be fine, but do not match reality."

Qin Changge nodded, knowing that Pei Tingfeng was talking about cooking the books.

Pei Tingfeng explained, "Your Majesty, there will be no problem submitting this account. You may even receive a commendation from His Majesty."

Qin Changge asked curiously, "Is this considered a good account book?"

Xiao Dashan also looked incredulous.

Pei Tingfeng said, "How could a normal prince open a shop and make money? They'd have long since monopolized industries like salt and iron, and even set up checkpoints and tolls on the roads. Your Highness, you are truly a role model for princes!"

Qin Changge rolled his eyes when he heard this.

"I'd like to do that, but the problem is that if I do that, I'll be gone the next day!"

Pei Tingfeng explained, "So the other princes took control of the military power right from the start."

"..."

After these words were spoken, Qin Changge and Xiao Dashan were both stunned.

Pei Tingfeng also realized that he had spoken too much.

"Please pretend I never said that, Your Highness."

Pei Tingfeng hurriedly began to organize the account book. In fact, he just copied it in his own neat handwriting. The account book was so clean that he didn't need to look at it too much.

Qin Changge and Xiao Dashan, who were standing by, stared at each other.

As for controlling the military power, it seems that it is not impossible.

……

……

Haizhou, Prince Jin's Palace.

King Qin Changqing of Jin, King Qin Changfeng of Ning, and King Qin Changjian of Zhou gathered together.

"Second brother, the fourth brother is taking advantage of the year-end audit and is obviously preparing to take action against us." Qin Changfeng said, "What should we do?"

King Zhou Qin Changjian said, "In order to earn military pay, I used some crude methods before. I'm afraid..."

King Jin Qin Changqing said calmly, "Me too. I indeed overlooked the account book issue. This time, the Fourth Master really caught us off guard."

After these words were spoken, both Qin Changfeng and Qin Changjian frowned.

Even Qin Changqing didn't take this into account. I'm afraid it might be a little dangerous this time.

Qin Changqing said calmly, "Don't worry. The fourth brother wants to check the accounts, just to find something to hold against us. So we just need to prevent him from finding any evidence against us."

Qin Changfeng said, "Second brother, you mean cooking the books? But I wonder what level of accountant could deceive the Fourth Brother so well?"

"Yes, how could a person who can deceive someone so clever as to be an accountant?" Qin Changjian was also a little hesitant.

Qin Changqing said, "Even if we made the fake accounts flawless, even if there were no problems with our account books to begin with, we are still guilty if the Fourth Brother finds fault with us! Have you forgotten the previous case of adulterating the tribute?"

After these words were spoken, both Qin Changfeng and Qin Changjian were a little surprised.

"Then second brother, what do you mean?" Qin Changfeng looked at Qin Changqing in confusion.

Qin Changqing said calmly, "Old Four wants to check the accounts, so we'll make sure he has nothing to check!"
