Chapter 471 Mr. Accountant
Liang Yan nodded and said: "Okay! Since Hall Master Li is sincerely working for me, I will naturally help you. Tell me, who are the other two hall masters of the Taisui Gang? Who? "
Li Xiong replied: "My Taisui gang started out as a casino, and the other two gang leaders, one named Geng Qiu and the other Nie Bin, each took charge of a large gambling house in Zhuque District. This Chang'an Gambling House is less famous, but it still produces a lot of money every year."
Liang Yan thought for a moment and said, "Go and gather these two people together with the elders of the Taisui Gang. Go to the old gang leader's residence to mourn, and I will have a way to help you get the position of gang leader."
Li Xiong had seen Liang Yan's methods, so he naturally believed in it and agreed without any hesitation. Come down.
Liang Yan pondered for a moment and then said: "Also, I need to have a clear identity in the capital. It is best to get closer to the official family."
Li Xiong thought this time After a long time, he slowly said: "The residence of Taichang Temple Minister Miao Yue seems to be recruiting an accountant recently. With the young master's methods, there must be no problem."
"This Miao Yue's residence can be found in Zhuque District?" Liang Yan asked.
"Exactly." Li Xiong nodded and said: "The Minister of Taichang Temple was originally a third-grade official and lived in Xuanwu District, but this official position did not have much real power. In addition, Miao Yue was always low-key, so in the end he Settled in Zhuque District ”
"Yes!" Li Xiong saluted respectfully.
Liang Yan waved his hand, turned around and led Ah-Dai out of the secret room.
The two of them were walking through Chang'an Street when they suddenly heard Liang Yan say: "Dai, you watch this Li Xiong in secret for me. If there is anything wrong, you can use the subpoena to contact me."
< br>A-Dai nodded and asked: "Which Miao Mansion are you going to?"
Liang Yan smiled slightly and said: "Just be a bookkeeper."
Duan didn't ask any more questions, hugged him directly, turned around and disappeared into the night.
Liang Yan watched Ah-Dai leave, and secretly thought to himself on the spot: "What Wang Yang said is half true and false. I'm afraid it's true that the Haisha Gang was used by the previous supervisory disciples. Otherwise, I only need a little If you ask around, you will find out that he is lying. It seems that I have to start from both the imperial court and Jianghu forces to find out the truth."< br>
Liang Yan thought of this and did not stay where he was. He went directly to the largest inn in Zhuque District, opened a guest room, and meditated alone in the room
The morning three days later , when it was just dawn, dozens of people were already waiting outside the door of a large house in Zhuque District.
These people are almost all dressed as scholars, aged between thirty and fifty. They are all neatly dressed and well-groomed. Some people were still whispering among themselves in the team, seeming to be full of expectations for this application.
There was only one person who was younger, probably in his early twenties, and was standing in the middle of the queue. His face was indifferent and he had no intention of talking to everyone.
At this time, the door of the courtyard slowly opened, and a maid with drooping sideburns and bright eyes walked out of it. She only glanced at everyone and then shouted: "Gentlemen, you are really early. The test is ready, Xiaohuan will take you there!"
As soon as she finished speaking, the guards standing at the door stepped aside and made way for them.
The scholars lined up and entered the Miao Mansion one by one. The maid named Xiaohuan led the way, and soon they entered a hall. Liang Yan looked up and saw dozens of sandalwood tables in the hall. On the tables were arithmetic chips, abacus beads and a piece of yellow paper. The yellow paper was densely packed and seemed to have a lot of things written on it.
The maid with the slender temples smiled, reached out and took out an hourglass from behind, turned around and placed it on a high platform in the front.
"Gentlemen, there are test questions on the table, which must be completed before the sand leaks out. The person with the highest score can enter the retest, and our Miao Mansion housekeeper will personally select one person to be the accountant in the future."
< br>Xiaohuan explained the rules once, and everyone couldn't wait to go to their desks and start writing questions.
Liang Yan has also reached his position. He used to be a disciple of Confucius in Huaiyuan Town. Although he didn't study seriously for a few days, he still received some influence.
Now that he has been cultivating immortality for more than ten years, his spiritual wisdom has been opened early. Common questions can be answered at a glance. Even some complex calculations can be solved immediately after just a little deduction in his sea of knowledge.
The exam, which was originally scheduled to be handed in within an hour, was completed by Liang Yan in only half a stick of incense. He didn't want to be too shocking, so he waited there for a long time before completing the last question and stepping forward to hand in the paper.
Even so, he was also the first to hand in the test. At this moment, the fastest Confucian scholar in the field only reached half of the position.
When the girl Xiaohuan accepted Liang Yan's test paper, her eyes were extremely surprised. Although she knew nothing about these test questions, she had presided over more than ten tests in the past month, so she naturally knew how difficult the test questions were.
The vast majority of people reluctantly handed in the paper at the last moment, and only a few were able to hand it in in advance, but only half a cup of tea in advance, and no one handed it in as quickly as Liang Yan.
“This guy looks young. Could it be that he is too thin-skinned and doesn’t know how to do the questions? He’s too embarrassed to admit that he even finished the test paper without guessing, right?”
While Xiaohuan was thinking this, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed, and secretly sighed: "Sure enough, good-looking bodies are easy to find, but souls with real talent and learning are hard to find. I, Xiaohuan, don't want to marry a vase man in the future!"
Liang Yan didn't know what the little girl was complaining about, so he just handed in the test paper and turned around and walked out of the courtyard.
Today is the last batch of assessments for Miao Mansion’s recruitment of accountants, and the next step is to wait for the Miao Mansion’s internal marking of the test papers. It will take about three to five days before the results will be released at the door. At that time, the top three Confucian students will have the opportunity to be personally tested by the steward of the Miao Mansion.
Liang Yan didn't think much, he just turned back to his inn and started meditating again with his eyes closed.
Although he came to Beijing this time under a secret order from the leader, he wanted to investigate the hidden things in the capital. But the journey of cultivation is to accumulate steps to reach a thousand miles.
Since Liang Yan set out to cultivate, he has become accustomed to life and death, and his determination to cultivate has become more determined. He would use even the slightest bit of free time in his daily life to practice, which had become a habit.
Time passed slowly for a day, and late at night the next day, Liang Yan was still meditating with his eyes closed in bed, but outside the window of his guest room, there was a sound of footsteps.
