Chapter 52

Shen Lang came outside the Earl's room.

Both the count and the lady were asleep.

"Mother-in-law, father-in-law!" Shen Lang shouted in a beautiful voice.

"Humph!" This is the father-in-law's.

"Hey, what's wrong with Lang'er?" This is the mother-in-law's, and her voice is very gentle.

Look, this is the result of putting the mother-in-law in front of the father-in-law.

Shen Lang said: "Mr. Xu was so angry that he probably won't appear in the next few days. But the accounts of the Earl's House have to be carried out as usual. In the past few days, a large amount of gold, silver and property has been in and out of the house. If the accounts are delayed In a few days, I'm afraid that the next gold and silver will not be easy to pay, and the little son-in-law just has some attainments in arithmetic, why not let the little son-in-law do it in a few days, and then hand it over to Mr. Xu after he returns?"

Lord Earl said: "Is there anything I can't say tomorrow?"

Damn, is your dignified count still getting up? The key is that it's only about nine o'clock in the evening, why are you going to bed so early?

Madam said: "Lang'er is also kind, can't you talk properly?"

Then, the lady's voice came from inside.

"Lang'er, come in and talk."

Shen Lang still stopped outside for a while, and then walked in, so as not to see any pictures that he shouldn't see.

Lord Earl looked unhappy, but Madam looked at Shen Lang with a smile.

"To tell the truth, what the hell are you thinking?" said Lord Earl.

What is the most important thing about facing your loved ones?

Heart!

While being smart, don't take others as fools.

Shen Lang said: "I suspect that Mr. Xu Wenzhao embezzled the money of the Earl's Mansion, so I want to check his accounts."

"Nonsense..." The count slammed the table.

He just didn't look down on Shen Lang's retribution for this.

Xu Wenzhao is trying to trouble you today, but he has already been pushed back by you, and he has lost a lot of face. In the end, he has not spent the night, so you want to mess with him again?

But the mother-in-law appreciates this very much.

She felt that her husband was too forgiving, and Shen Lang was a good child.

Shen Lang said: "Father-in-law, Xu Wenzhao's annual salary is only 200 gold coins, but several of his sons wear gold and silver, silk and silk, not only marrying wives, but also taking several concubines. In Xuanwu City and even Nujiang County , has a lot of real estate, with more than 1,000 acres of land, which has far exceeded his salary level."

Lord Earl frowned and said word by word, "Lang'er, when the water is clear, there will be no fish!"

This sentence shows that the Count is a sensible person, but he just turns one eye away a lot of the time.

Shen Lang said: "My father-in-law is too kind-hearted and thinks of people too well. Maybe Xu Wenzhao's greed for money far exceeds your imagination and tolerance?"

The countess waited softly: "Langer, tell your mother, why are you targeting Xu Wenzhao like this?"

Shen Lang said: "Mother-in-law, it's true that Xu Wenzhao is a narrow-minded person, but why is he so targeted at me and can't wait to get revenge against me? Is it just because he has a deep relationship with Wang Lian, his nephew? Is there another reason? , am I blocking their way?"

This is heartbreaking.

Before Xu Wenzhao's slander came in, Uncle Shen's slander came first.

The Count and Madam fell into deep thought.

Then, Shen Lang took out two account books and said: "These are Xu Wenzhao's account books, although they are two very unimportant accounts, they are all about the purchase records of the Earl's House banquet drinks, but the son-in-law has already discovered serious problems. Corruption."

"Really?" asked the lady.

The Count said, "Where did you get these two account books?"

"Cough, this is not important." Shen Lang said: "I, I asked the prince to go to the accountant to help get it."

Is it to take? Obviously stealing!

The count's face twitched, his stupid son!

Shen Lang said: "Old Master Lin is actually good at arithmetic, and he is a humble person and treats money like dung. My son-in-law wants to ask him to check the accounts of the Earl's House together."

Shen Lang's meaning is very clear, I won't show favoritism, so I let Old Master Lin, an upright person, supervise him.

The Countess took the two account books passed by Shen Lang. Although she didn't understand it well, he believed the words of her son-in-law.

He said the problem is serious, it should be serious.

The lady said, "Husband, it's good to check it out."

"But..." His Excellency the Earl hesitated.

After all, Xu Wenzhao is a distant relative of his wife, and he was more tolerant to Xu Wenzhao because of this.

The Countess said: "After I marry the Jin family in Xuanwu City, I will be a member of the Jin family, and I must put the family's interests first. If it is found out that Xu Wenzhao is not greedy for ink, of course it will be good, even if he is not greedy for ink, we will just wait for a while. One eye is closed. But if there is too much greed for ink, it cannot be tolerated."

The Count hesitated for a long time.

He really didn't want to be this wicked person. Although Xu Wenzhao was narrow-minded and arrogant, after all, he had followed him for decades, and he had worked hard without credit.

Shen Lang said: "Father-in-law, I am only responsible for checking the accounts. After checking, I will send them all to you without expressing any opinions."

Lord Earl frowned, then said, "Okay..."

Then, he said solemnly: "But let me tell you Shen Lang, Xu Wenzhao is an old man of the Earl's Mansion, so he must keep his face. You can't tell anyone about your audit, and once he comes back, no matter whether you find it or not, Stop immediately and don't tear his face off."

Shen Lang was speechless, this father-in-law was too soft-hearted and too forgiving.

"Yes." Shen Lang bowed.

It is said that Xu Wenzhao has lost such a big face, and he will definitely not come back for four or five days, so Shen Lang has plenty of time.

But not afraid of ten thousand, just in case, maybe he will come back tomorrow morning?

Shen Lang will seize every minute and every second.

"Yes, my father-in-law!" Shen Lang said, "My son-in-law is leaving now."

After Shen Lang left, the earl pointed in the direction of his disappearance and said, "Look at this, this bastard, he will definitely retaliate, I really don't know where he has such a strong desire for revenge."

Madam said: "I think it's pretty good. He has a very real temperament. He is open to us and doesn't hide. Dasha is just a playmate in his village. He treats him so well. Mulan is married to such a gentleman. I'm quite relieved."

Lord Earl was jealous and said, "It's good for Mulan to marry Shen Lang, so isn't it bad for you to marry me?"

Madam giggled and said, "Okay, okay, husband, you are okay, but you are too pedantic."

Lord Earl said: "I just can't see him being so rude."

Madam said: "It's enough for the couple to have a generous one. Mulan is generous enough. If Lang'er is more generous, our family will suffer."

...

In the account room, Shen Lang was stunned!

"My day, so many?"

There are thousands of account books piled up in the entire account room.

Old Master Lin said, "Is there a lot of account books for more than 20 years? It will take several months to read them all. If you want to thoroughly check the accounts, you will need at least dozens of people, and a month may not be enough. ."

With so many ledgers, it is not clear at all in a month or two.

How much time does Shen Lang have?

I don't know, it's four or five days long, and it's only one night when it's broken.

"Uncle, you only have one night." Lin said, "The guy who opened the door for us just now is Xu Wenzhao's confidant. Wen Zhao will be back."

As soon as Xu Wenzhao came back, he would take away the power of the accountant.

His Excellency the Earl is soft and tolerant, and will definitely not refuse.

Therefore, Shen Lang's audit can only be left to nothing, and there will be no chance in the future.

At that time, Shen Lang was just a villain in vain, in vain, and lost face.

...

After the clerk who opened the door went out, his face immediately turned gloomy.

Then, he immediately rushed to the house where the accountant was in charge and informed the matter.

"This little white-faced uncle actually came to check the accounts? We must send someone to inform Master Xu Wenzhao."

Once the gate of the Earl's Palace is closed, no one will be able to get out. It will only be opened at dawn tomorrow.

"Would you like to set fire to the accounting room? Burn that little white face to death inside." The guy said coldly.

The middle-aged butler could not help but glanced at him.

Holy crap, I didn't see it, you are so arrogant at such a young age?

"Idiot, I don't want to live anymore, then everyone will die." The middle-aged butler said, "If it's not dawn tomorrow, go to inform Master Xu Wenzhao, and you can find out a fart overnight."

The steward on the side sneered: "Thousands of account books need to be read for a month. There are not dozens of people who check it for a month or two, so it's not clear at all."

"That foolish little white face is whimsical, and he wants to check the accounts overnight. He is really flooded with water, and the gods can't find it out. Just wait for Master Xu to slap him in the face tomorrow."

"However, this little white face is deliberately trying to check our accounts. I really can't keep it. I will discuss with Master Xu tomorrow, how to find a way to get rid of him."

Interest groups are so sharp!

...

Inside the account.

Old Master Lin said: "Uncle, if you have this idea, you should have told me in advance. In this way, I can think of a way to send Xu Wenzhao out for a few days."

Shen Lang said: "Old Master, do you also doubt Xu Wenzhao?"

"It's not a suspicion, it's a certainty." Old Master Lin said: "The Count is too tolerant and kind, and he has underestimated the evil of human nature. I have also tried to check the accounts many times to see how much Xu Wenzhao has pocketed. I even sent a student to go undercover in his account!"

As soon as these words came out, Shen Lang was surprised.

Did not expect, there is such a story?

Old Master Lin said, "That child went undercover for three years before he gained some trust from Xu Wenzhao. Finally, he was about to find out the key data, but he suddenly fell ill and died suddenly."

"I'm afraid it was poisoned to death." Shen Lang said.

Old Master Lin said, "I think so too, so I asked Dr. An Zaishi to examine his body. He found out that it was colic, and it was the most severe type."

An Zaishi's medical skills, Shen Lang, have been seen before, and they are indeed very clever.

Old Master Lin said, "After that, I never had the chance to check Xu Wenzhao's accounts."

"But I firmly believe that he must be greedy for a lot of ink, perhaps a very exaggerated figure. It's just that he manages the account room without leakage. All the people here are his disciples and grandchildren, and he is indeed very good at arithmetic. All The ledger has been done without flaws.”

There is no flawless ledger, just the surface flawless.

"Hey, uncle, you are too eager." Lin Fuzi said with great regret: "The entire account has been operated by Xu Wenzhao for decades, and we can't find a helper. We want to find out these accounts with only the two of us. At least a month or two."

"And he will be back tomorrow morning. In just one night, there is not enough time to read through so many ledgers. There is nothing at all, and it will only startle the snake."

Is one night not enough?

If it is really not enough to rely on Shen Lang and Master Lin alone, even a month may not be enough.

But there is no need to check every account book at all, just check the core account book of each year.

Of course, there are dozens of large books that are thick enough, and it will take at least ten days and a half months.

However, Shen Lang has an intelligent brain, and he is still an evolved intelligent brain.

It's time for you to feel the power of genius!

We are different!
