As the sturdy-looking driver came in, the six guards were already seated, rapidly flipping through the account books.
Everyone sighed inwardly. Casually flipping through the pages like that, without even using an abacus? It didn't look like they were examining account books at all—more like they were just fooling around.
Liu Xuan stroked his beard and chuckled. "Mr. Gu, you truly have many capable people under your command. I have had tea prepared; we can chat while we wait."
Gu Wenheng motioned for the newly arrived driver to join the others, then walked toward the seat Liu Xuan had indicated. "Excellent. I was also hoping to ask you, Mr. Liu, about the local culture and customs."
"Of course..."
Liu Xuan then noticed that the men auditing the books were all holding pens and had begun making marks in the ledgers.
"Mr. Gu, these inspectorate ledgers cannot be damaged. If they are, neither of us will be able to make a proper report."
