In the evening, the Laohuguanfloodgatelocks, the area inside the Great Walllightgoes outgradually, butin the accounthouse and yardis holding the lampas before.
傍晚,老虎关闸口落锁,关内灯光渐次熄灭,而账房院内依旧掌着灯。
The Ye Xiaotiandwellingwantsspaciousmanycompared to several other people, after all the statusis placed there. Howevercrushes into56people after all of a sudden, dislikedcrowded. On the stoveis making the tea, severalpeopleor the seatsorsit the cot, was discussingunder the darklightharvest that todayaudits accounts.叶小天的住处相对于其他几人要宽敞的多,毕竟身份摆在那里。但是一下子挤进五六个人之后,也嫌拥挤了些。炉子上煮着茶,几个人或坐椅或坐榻,在幽暗的灯光下讨论着今日查账的收获。Su Xuntiansaid: „The people in Laohuguanhave the hostilitytousvery much, wantsto checkwhat, alwaysstared, is guarding, is alerting, was too difficult!”苏循天道:“老虎关的人对咱们很有敌意啊,想查点什么,总被人盯着、防范着、戒备着,太难了!”Ye Xiaotiansaid with a smile: „Thennormal. Weare the outside county, was very ill-flavoredonthis point, iflet alonewereallyfound out the issueintheirhere, theycannot be inseparable from, canwork ashonored guestthatto be unusualus. Before thissituationweembark, has expected, benefits, personwith, we are the same do not occupy, difficult is truly big. However, thiscase, mustcheck, what can youhaveto harvest?”叶小天笑道:“这才正常。咱们是外县来的,就这一点就很令人反感了,何况如果咱们在他们这儿真的查出了问题,他们也脱不了干系,能把我们当贵客那才稀奇。这种情况我们出发前就已预料到了,地利、人和,我们是一样也不占的,困难确实很大。不过,这件案子,还是要查下去,你可有什么收获?”Mentionedthis, Su Xuntianona lot ofair/Qi, was bitterly typical: „Ipaid attentionto observefor these days, selectedtwoto seem like not pleasantgoods that mixedinLaohuguanto be intimate withspecially, buthis mother, thesetwobastards, a sex maniac, a drunkard, wineto come the cupdid, the colordid not resist, butwasusefulwordsdoes not have. The fatherwas givento playbythem!”
一提起这个,苏循天就一肚子气,恨恨地道:“我这几天注意观察,特意挑了两个看起来在老虎关混的不怎么如意的货色亲近,可他娘的,这两个混蛋,一个色鬼,一个酒鬼,酒来杯干,色来不拒,可就是一句有用的话都没有。老子被他们给耍了!”„Youwork as the foolothers, but alsoblames the familiesto work as the foolyou?”
“你把别人都当笨蛋,还怪人家把你当笨蛋?”Ye Xiaotianis smiling bitterlyshaking the head, looksto the person of duty taxdivision, thathumanity: „humble/despiseZhiand otherfor these dayswithdeciding the person of theirduty taxdivision, no mattertheirhowsarcastic comments, humble/despiseZhizhi, whenhas not been listening. Under observes carefully, discoverstheirindeedsomenottoonormalplaceactually, buthas aroused the vigilance of hugecausingnow. humble/despiseZhiwantsto continueto checkagainto fear that wasverydifficult.”叶小天苦笑着摇摇头,又看向税课司的人,那人道:“卑职等这几天跟定了他们税课司的人,不管他们怎么冷言冷语,卑职只当没听着。细心观察之下,倒是发现他们的确有些不太正常的地方,不过现在已经引起庞大使的警觉。卑职再想继续查下去怕是很难了。”
A Ye Xiaotianlookbright, busysay/way: „Yousaidis not normal, whatrefers to?”叶小天眼神一亮,忙道:“你说的不正常,是指什么?”Thatpersonshows a faint smile, said: „Sircounty deputy, humble/despiseZhiworksin the duty taxdivision, regarding the customandregulation of duty taxdivision, knows from A to Z, thereforeinside, ifhaswhat is not right, the lower officialcan smell, thisis only a feeling. Reallymustsayfirst four earthly branches, humble/despiseZhihas not really talked clearly.”
那人微微一笑,道:“县丞大人,卑职是在税课司做事的,对于税课司的习惯、章程,都了如指掌,所以里边如果有什么不对劲儿,下官嗅得出来,这只是一种感觉。真要说个子丑寅卯,卑职还真说不清楚。”Ye Xiaotiannods, heunderstood that thisfeeling, thislike the instinct of animal, the instinct of animalis inborn, but his type„sense of smell”actuallystems fromhimto the understanding of guild regulationsandcustom, experiences, youreallywanthimto say a truth, is very difficult.叶小天点点头,他理解这种感觉,这就像动物的本能,不过动物的本能是天生的,而他这种“嗅觉”却源于他对行规、习惯的了解,也就是经验,你真要他说出个道理,很难。Ye Xiaotiansaid: „Thatsaidyourfeeling. Doesn't matter, weprofit by opinions from various sources, Ido not needyouto say the basis.”叶小天道:“那就说说你的感觉。没关系,咱们是集思广益,我不一定要你说出根据。”Duty taxdivisionthathumanity: „Yes! For these days, somewhatpassed by the roadpeddlerhumble/despiseZhiregarded the person in Laohuguan. Thinks that humble/despiseZhiisnew, has the meaning of becoming friends with humble/despiseZhipo, the inferiordutyfeelsfromtheirconversationactions, the person who thistaxcloseshas certainlyto receive the advantageto follow the privatefraud the matter. It is not ableto determine that is whether relatedwith the smugglingcontraband goods.”
税课司那人道:“是!这几天,有些过路行商把卑职当成了老虎关的人。以为卑职是新来的,对卑职颇有结纳之意,卑职从他们的言谈举动中就感觉到,这个税关的人一定有收受好处循私舞弊的事情。只是无法确定是否和走私违禁品有关。”Ye Xiaotianknits the browsgently, heknows,checksfollowingthisdirection. Will break through, butmakesenhance the alertnowhuge, thisis no longer possible. HelookstoHua Yunfei, a Hua Yunfeifaceforced smile, shakes the headtohim.叶小天轻轻皱了皱眉,他知道,循着这个方向查下去。或者会有所突破,但现在庞大使已经提高了戒备,这已不再可能。他又看向华云飞,华云飞一脸苦笑,对他摇了摇头。At this time, a skinnyold mancoughedsuddenly, saidtoYe Xiaotian: „Sir, pleasesay that obsoletediscouragedwords, thinksobsolete,wefromtheiraccounts, are impossibleto find outwhatissue.”
这时,一位枯瘦的老者突然咳嗽一声,对叶小天道:“大人,请恕老朽说句泄气的话,老朽以为,我们从他们的帐目上,是不可能查出什么问题的。”
South thisvenerablecalledto be possible, was the accountantmister in Hong Baichuanyour family place, because ofrelations of Ye XiaotianandDaheng, thereforetrustedsouthmistervery much, makinghimbe the stewards of theseaccountantgentlemen, regardinghisopinion, Ye Xiaotiancomparedto regard as important, immediatelypursuedasks: „Southernvenerablewhatthisword?”
这位老先生叫南可,是洪百川府上的账房先生,因为叶小天和大亨的关系,所以对南先生很信任,让他当了这些账房先生的管事,对于他的意见,叶小天还是比较看重的,马上追问道:“南老先生何出此言?”southmaysaysubmissively: „ Sir, firstobsoletechecksisina period of timerelated to the Changcarriages and horseslineandreckless, the accounts of Lütwofirms, looksfrom the account, noissue, withus the account of statisticsthat sideHu county can definitely to.
南可拱手道:“大人,老朽先查的就是近一段时间里有关常氏车马行和胡、吕两家商行的帐,从帐目上看,没有什么问题,与咱们在葫县那边统计的帐目完全能够对得上。Since the Sir the instructioninvestigates rigorouslythesethreeaccounts, obviouslyin the hearthad suspected, butthesethreeaccountsabsolutelydo not have the issue, what did thatexplain? Either, thesethree are very actually pure, Siryourinvestigateswrongdirection, buttothis point, thinksobsoleteis unlikely.
大人既然吩咐严查这三家的帐目,显然心中已经有所怀疑,可这三家的帐却完全没问题,那说明什么呢?要么,这三家其实很清白,大人您查错了方向,而对这一点,老朽以为不大可能。Thinks highly of the Siractually notobsolete, because inthesethree, the Changcarriages and horseslineis the carriages and horsesline of Qi Mu, ifourHu countyreallysomeperson and Burmahas the relations, for a long timefromtheretomyGreat Mingtransportationsmuggled goods, thenmost suspiciousis the Changcarriages and horsesline, othercarriages and horseslinesare more impossible.
倒不是老朽恭维大人,而是因为这三家中,常氏车马行原来就是齐木的车马行,如果说咱们葫县真有人与缅甸有关系,长期从那里向我大明输运私货,那么最可疑的就是常氏车马行,其他车马行更不可能。Butinthesebusiness, ifrecklessLütwodo not have the issue, thatmustinspectto checkallbusinessandallbooksfrom the beginning, in this case, evenobsoleteand the othersday and nightcontinuous, not35monthscannot accomplish, butbigten thousandmountainSitous here 35months?
而那些商家里面,如果胡吕两家没问题,那就得把所有商家、所有账簿从头查验核对一遍,这样的话,就算老朽等人日夜不休,没有个三五个月的时间也办不到,而大万山司会任由咱们在这儿查上三五个月吗?Perhapsbigten thousandmountainSiearthcounty magistratecomplyingmakesusaudithappily, because ofthisreason, ifwecannotcaptureas soon as possible, bigten thousandmountainSi and cardinmyHu countymanybusinessmangentries, mustyoulash out at the Sir. ”
恐怕大万山司的土知县那么痛快地答应让咱们来查账,就是因为这个缘故,如果咱们不能尽快有所斩获,大万山司和卡在我葫县的众多商贾士绅们,就要向大人您发难了。”AlsoisbecauseYe XiaotianandLuo Dahengare the goodbrothers, butsouthmisterhad been more than tenyears of accountantsinHong Baichuanyour family place, has regarded as itselfHong family, therefore the brotherstoownyoung masteris willingto be sincere, otherwisethese wordshewill not export, buthisfrank talkwordsactuallymakein the room the atmosphereheavier.
也就是因为叶小天和罗大亨是好兄弟,而南先生已经在洪百川府上做了十多年的账房,已经把自己视为洪家的一员,所以对自家少爷的兄弟肯推心置腹,否则这番话他绝不会出口,可是他的这番大实话话却使得房中气氛更加沉重起来。Sun Weiwarmthcups one hand in the other across the chest saying: „Sir, the villainhad the wordsto say.”
孙伟暄拱拱手道:“大人,小人有话说。”Ye Xiaotianshiftedhisbody the visionimmediately. Sun Weixuansaid: „Is indebted the Sirto regard as important, the villainhopesvery muchcanworkfor the Sir, butmentioned the duty tax, the duty taxSimasterscomparedsmallfamiliar, speaking ofauditing, a villainLiennanvenerable'ssmallfingercould not compare, intheseintriguingrelationsas for the government authorities, the villaindid not haveSuBantouto understand......”叶小天立即把目光转移到了他的身上。孙伟暄道:“承蒙大人看重,小人很希望能为大人做点事情,不过说起税课,税课司的老爷们比小的熟悉,说到查账,小人连南老先生的一根小手指头都比不上,至于官府里那些错综复杂的关系,小人也没有苏班头明白……”AlthoughSun Weixuanis the facial expressionroughyfrankman, butdoes businesswherecannot have a slickskill, althoughheis not necessarily resourceful in a dishonest way, butthesewordsactuallyalsofirstroutinelythought highly of the people, thisput forwardownopinion: „Therefore, the villainfromotheraspects, is thinkingcandiscoverby some chance.”
孙伟暄虽是貌相粗犷性情爽朗的汉子,可是做生意的哪能没点八面玲珑的本事,他虽未必长袖善舞,但这几句话却也先习惯性地把众人都恭维了一番,这才提出自己的见解:“所以,小人就从其他方面着手,想着万一能有所发现。”Sun Weixuansmilesslightly, said: „Villainalsowanderedfor these daysinside and outsideLaohuguan, afterwardsawnodiscovery, the villainremembers a matterto comesuddenly, rantoward the Yueliang (Moon)bay.”
孙伟暄微微笑了笑,道:“小人这几天也把老虎关里里外外转悠了个遍,后来见没有什么发现,小人忽然想起一件事来,就往月亮湾跑了一趟。”Su Xuntianis surprised the said/tunnel: „What do yougo to the Yueliang (Moon)bayto make? Thereis atmyHu countycheckpoint and middle of bigten thousandmountaindivisioncheckpoints, about the Yueliang (Moon)bayboth banksarehigh mountain ridge, the vehiclesandcargoare unable to escape even with wings, can only walk the ferry spot, cannot attempt to pervert.”苏循天纳罕地道:“你去月亮湾做什么?那儿处在我葫县关卡和大万山司关卡的中间,月亮湾左右两岸是崇山峻岭,车辆、货物插翅难飞,只能走渡口,根本做不了手脚的。”Sun Weiwarmthnodssaid: „WhatSuBantousaidis! The villains are also no other ideas, holdspossibilityby some chanceto transfer the revolutions. The villainsthink, ifsomereallypeoplesell the smuggled goodsto ban, his gets down, person who variouscheckpointsdefinitelyhave the buy, thereforeourHu countycheckpointandin the bigten thousandmountainSicheckpoint, will not necessarily attempt to pervertin the book, is the Yueliang (Moon)bayferry spotis different.”
孙伟暄颔首道:“苏班头说的是!小人也是别无主意,抱着万一的可能去转转。小人想,如果真有人贩私贩禁的话,那他这一路下来,各处关卡肯定都有收买的人,所以咱们葫县关卡和大万山司的关卡上,未必就不会在账簿上做手脚,可是月亮湾渡口却不一样。”Ye Xiaotianslightlyis pressed the eyebrow, is thinking deeply about the say/way: „Yueliang (Moon)bayferry spot? Thereferryis the civilian boats, whatcancheck?”叶小天微微蹙着眉,思索着道:“月亮湾渡口?那里摆渡的都是民船,能查到什么?”Sun Weixuanhappilysmiles, said: „ Sir, relay station of thisYueliang (Moon)bayferry spotfrom the Great Ancestoryearscompletedstartsto begin using, until now more than 200years, the boatmenalsoearlyare notscatteredoperation, theyhad the shipping agencydozensyears ago, only then, allboatmansailor and loading and unloadingstrengthlabor, sought the mealin the shipping agency.
孙伟暄得意地一笑,道:“大人,这月亮湾渡口从太祖年间驿道建成就开始启用了,迄今已有两百多年,船工们也早不是零散经营的局面,他们早在几十年前就有了船行,而且只有一家,所有船工水手、装卸力工,都在船行里谋口食。

小人以前押运货物过渡口时,偶然发现他们对过往商行和货物是点检数目、进行记录的,对于货物他们当然无权查验,但是他们会记录这是哪一家商行或车马行,运了多少箱多少筐,以此索要摆渡费,并向船工和力工们发工钱。”Ye Xiaotianin short supplysaid/tunnel: „Thistype of bookbook, after will not have used, discardsconveniently?”叶小天紧张地道:“这种账簿册子,不会用过之后随手丢弃吧?”Sun Weixuansaid: „Villain is also worried aboutthis point, thereforeexamines. The villainandthatboatmanitselfareextremelyripe, makes a veiled attack, knows, theynot onlyrecord the detailed record of shipment, even the timehas, but alsothesebooksmustdeliver the accountant, will not discardcarelessly!”
孙伟暄道:“小人也担心这一点,所以才去查看。小人和那船老大本就是极熟的,旁敲侧击一番,才知道,他们不仅记有装船的详细记录,连时间都有,而且这些账簿都要上交账房,不会胡乱丢弃!”Ye Xiaotianlaughs, said: „You wear out iron shoes in hunting round, mustcomeallnot to need the effort! The greatwarmth, thistime, youmade the great merit!”叶小天哈哈大笑,道:“踏破铁鞋无觅处,得来全不费功夫!伟暄,这一次,你立下大功了!”Ye Xiaotianstands upsuddenly, the people also stood, the Ye Xiaotiansinkingsoundsaid: „Discussing of today, everyonemustkeep one's mouth shut! Tomorrow, we‚flying back without any results’! Haha......”叶小天霍然站起,众人也随之站了起来,叶小天沉声说道:“今日之议,各位务必守口如瓶!明日,咱们就‘无功而返’吧!哈哈……”*************************

The Yueliang (Moon)bayseeks the onlyorigin of mealas the nearbycommon people, the competition of shipping agency is also exceptionallyintense, more than 200 years, masterseveralchanged/easyQizhu of thisferry spot, more than 20years ago was startedto monopolizeby the coolfamily/home. Thisgeneration of coolshipping agencyownerscalled the coolazure clothes, allboatmansailorssought the mealinhimhand/subordinate.月亮湾作为附近百姓谋口食的唯一来源,船行的竞争也是异常激烈,200多年来,这渡口的主人几易其主,从二十多年前开始由凉家一统天下了。这一代的凉氏船行东主叫凉青衣,所有船工水手都在他手下谋口食。
The coolfamily'smanagementto the shipping agencypracticesafterdozensyears of hammeris strict, only ifmanager of coolfamily/homeare muddleheaded, presents the seriousmistake, oris the specialreason of warandgovernment authorities, otherwise the guaranteecoolfamily/homedepended onthisferry spotto livesufficientlyfor generations, is impossibleto appeartohisthreat, because ofdepending oncatching coldfamily'scomprehensivemonopolyto the cross-straitferry spot, others simplydoes not have the opportunityto develop.
凉家对船行的管理经过数十年的锤练已经非常严密,除非凉家的管理者自己昏了头,出现重大过错,又或者是战争、官府的特殊原因,否则足以保证凉家世世代代靠这个渡口生活,已不可能出现对他的威胁,因为凭着凉家对两岸渡口的全面垄断,其他人根本没有机会发展起来。Even if the coolazure clothesnowdoes not go to the wharfto assume personal command, sitting can still the source of wealthbe billowingat home. However the coolazure clothesnotidles, every day the wind and raindoes not harm, inspectstohisaquatickingdomsurely, like a Lion Kingevery daypatrollingdagger-axeitsterritory.
凉青衣现在即便不去码头坐镇,坐在家里也能财源滚滚。但是凉青衣并无懈怠,每日风雨不误,必定到他的水上王国去巡视一番,就像一位狮王每日巡戈它的领土。In the early morning, the coolazure clothesrushed to the wharfas always, accompanied byseveral peoplechief steward, is inspectinghislandscapeslowly, enjoysvision that the boatman and strengthlaborare awingsuch as the emperor, the young people who suddenly, an appearancedelicate, was radiant with smilesblockedinhisfront.
这天一大早,凉青衣一如既往地赶到码头,在几位大管事的陪同下,慢悠悠地巡视着他的江山,享受着船工、力工们敬畏如帝王的目光,忽然,一个样貌清秀、笑容可掬的年轻人拦在了他的面前。
The coolazure clothesknits the browsdisgruntledly, immediately the shipping agencychief stewardberatedtothatperson: „Do youaredo, makes way!”
凉青衣不悦地皱了皱眉,马上就有一个船行大管事冲着那人喝斥起来:“你是干什么的,让开!”„Coolship owner, yes?”
“凉船主,是吧?”
