A Thousand Enlightenments in One Night, Starting From Being a Menial Apprentice

Chapter 224: Unexpected Incident

Ye Chen is also a new apprentice in the accounting office this year.

The person in charge this month gave him the job of opening the door every day, so he had to get up an hour earlier this month.

He struggled to get up at dawn and staggered to the door of the accounting office in the backyard with sleepy eyes.

Ye Chen half-closed his eyes and took out the key from his pocket. He was about to open the door, but found that the door of the accounting hall was already open.

Ye Chen's sleepiness was immediately gone. He stepped into the hall and saw the big copper lock for locking the door on the table behind the door. The hall was dark, but a dim and mottled light came from the corridor on the west.

Ye Chen walked a few steps sideways and stood on the west side of the hall. Looking into the corridor, he saw a figure sitting on a chair at the door of the document library with his legs crossed. The lamp beside him emitted a bright yellow light, shining on his face.

Ye Chen recognized him immediately. That person was Duan Rong who had been checking accounts in the account office these days.

Ye Chen said, "Master Duan Rong, you are here so early today!"

Duan Rong crossed his legs and smiled and replied, "It has to be early."

Ye Chen didn't know what Duan Rong meant. He smiled and walked away. However, as soon as he sat down in his seat in the hall, he suddenly thought of Duan Rong and his friends checking accounts. It seemed that yesterday was the last day. Why did he come to the document library so early today?

Ye Chen was puzzled, but he also had a lot of chores in his hands, so he quickly forgot about it.

The sky gradually brightened, and many people yawned and walked into the hall of the backyard account office.

These apprentice accountants face complicated accounts every day, and they are also stuffed with a lot of chores by some cunning old accountants. They are tortured with dull eyes, especially when they just enter the hall of the backyard account office in the morning, they all have a look of despair.

Wang De'an was considered to be late.

He had not slept well these days, and his eye bags were swollen and he looked very bad.

Four or five days had passed, and Li Jun was still in a coma.

Yesterday, he went to Li Jun's house to see him after class, and the symptoms were the same as the first day, but he was still unconscious.

Li Jun's father was completely panicked. He invited all the doctors in Xian Ancient City to see him, but none of them could diagnose the symptoms.

Yesterday evening, his father actually invited a few witches to set up an altar at home and perform rituals, saying that Li Jun was possessed by evil spirits and had unclean things on his body, so he asked the gods to exorcise them...

When Wang De'an went there after class, he saw a few witches dressed in strange clothes, with oil paint on their faces, holding bells and burning incense in their hands, surrounding Li Jun, chanting spells and dancing strange dances...

Wang De'an shook his head and hurriedly left.

Wang De'an stepped into the hall, and suddenly he was distracted. He remembered that yesterday was the last day of the audit, and today Duan Rong, Xiao Yu and others should report the audit results to the shopkeeper.

Xu, the accountant, had already handed him the task of cooperating with the audit, so he should go and take a look and say hello.

"I don't know if Duan Rong and others are here?" Wang De'an turned and prepared to walk to the document library in the west.

As soon as he walked to the entrance of the corridor, he saw Duan Rong sitting at the door of the document library. Wang De'an was slightly stunned, walked over, and said, "Master Duan Rong, how are the accounts these days?"

Wang De'an asked, glancing at Duan Rong's face, and swept across the door behind him. The door was still locked, and Duan Rong was sitting on a large armchair, as if blocking the door.

Wang De'an's eyelids twitched, and he suddenly smiled and said, "Master Duan Rong, did you forget to bring the key? It's already this hour, Miss Xiao should be here too?"

Wang De'an still remembered that when he handed them the key, it was Xiao Yu who took it.

Duan Rong said, "Xiao Yu won't come for the time being."

"Not coming for the time being?" Wang De'an obviously didn't understand what Duan Rong meant.

Duan Rong said, "She will come with the shopkeeper later."

"Come with the shopkeeper?" Wang De'an's eyes moved slightly.

Duan Rong told Xiao Yu last night to go and invite Ruan Fengshan early in the morning.

Wang De'an thought about what Duan Rong meant and said with a smile: "There is a key to the document library in General Xu's account office. I will go and get it. After opening the door, Master Duan can go in and there is no need to sit at the door."

Duan Rong glanced at Wang De'an and said decisively: "No need! No one can enter this document library before the shopkeeper comes today!"

Wang De'an's face suddenly changed. No matter how slow he was, he could hear some dangerous signals from Duan Rong's words.

Wang De'an did not entangle with Duan Rong anymore, but turned around and left.

After all, none of them practiced martial arts in their account office. As long as Duan Rong sat there, who could enter their entire backyard account office?

Wang De'an immediately rushed to the door of Xu Shouxian's room in Dongjia Room, but he found that the door was still locked. Obviously, Xu Shouxian had not come yet. Wang De'an was a little anxious. He rushed out of the east corridor in a hurry, but just saw Xu Shouxian walking in from the hall door.

Xu Shouxian was walking slowly, fanning himself with a cattail leaf fan, looking very leisurely. Xu Shouxian had been taking a tonic medicine since the beginning of winter this year, which was very effective. The only side effect was that he often felt a little hot. Therefore, he never put down his cattail leaf fan.

When Wang De'an saw Xu Shouxian, he immediately ran over, stood directly at the door of the hall, and whispered to him about Duan Rong blocking the door of the document library.

No mistakes in one post, one content, one book, one forum!

Xu Shouxian was furious when he heard this. He hurried into the west corridor and looked at Duan Rong who was sitting there leisurely. He said, "Master Duan Rong, this document library is the important place of my account office. What happened inside? You are blocking here and not letting people in!"

Duan Rong said, "The document library is safe and sound!"

"Why don't you let people in if there is nothing wrong? You come here to check the accounts, and we treat you with courtesy, but we don't let you run wild here!" Xu Shouxian was obviously furious.

Duan Rong said, "General Accounting Office Xu, you said that the shopkeeper asked you to fully cooperate with me. What I ask you to cooperate with me now is that no one can enter the document library before the shopkeeper comes today!"

"You..." Xu Shouxian was choked with anger for a while. He didn't expect Duan Rong to bring up what he had said about Ruan Fengshan. If he said anything else, he would immediately fall into a self-contradictory situation.

Xu Shouxian originally thought that Duan Rong was just a poor boy who had never seen the world and had some talent for martial arts. With his status as the chief accountant, he would be able to calm Duan Rong down with his anger, but Duan Rong was obviously unmoved.

Xu Shouxian stood there and stared at Duan Rong for a long time. Duan Rong obviously had no intention of giving in.

Xu Shouxian and Wang Dean left immediately. At this time, the apprentice accountants in the hall knew about Duan Rong blocking the door and were whispering, but Xu Shouxian was in no mood to pay attention to them at this time.

Xu Shouxian stood in the hall, glanced over, turned his head to look at Wang Dean, and said, "Where is Huang Qing?"

Wang Dean glanced and found that Huang Qing was not in the hall, so he said, "Maybe he hasn't come yet."

"Go find him." Xu Shouxian said coldly.

Wang Dean turned around and ran out of the hall.

Xu Shouxian looked at Wang De'an's back with anger. He had handed over the task of checking the accounts of Duan Rong and others to Wang De'an. Something unexpected happened, and Wang De'an only realized it at this time. It was obviously a mistake.

Xu Shouxian turned his eyes and looked at the west corridor.

Now the key is to find out what happened in the document library. In addition to Duan Rong and Xiao Yu, Huang Qing was also present.
