Chapter 55

"Xu Wenzhao, you have made these accounts into a splendid array of thousands of books, various expenses and incomes, etc., and there are hundreds of data every day." Shen Lang said: "You want to cover up the truth in these complicated and complicated accounts. In the accounts, it's really whimsical."

"It doesn't matter how fancy you make the accounts, I just need to grasp the core data of the Earl's House's annual income and expenses."

"Earl Xuanwu's mansion has four major inputs, food, silk from the fief, iron and salt from Wangya Island!"

"The Earl's Mansion also has six main expenses, personnel salaries, taxes paid to the feudal monarch, military expenses for the 2,700 troops, expenses for various festivals and VIP entertainment, procurement of daily materials, and construction of fiefdoms."

"The main point of your greed for ink is the repetitive expenditure of personnel stipends, the construction of fief projects, and the procurement of daily life materials."

"Of course, this is just your early greed of ink. In the later stage, your ambitions have grown bigger and bigger, and you have even penetrated the greedy hand of ink into the army and salt and iron of the Earl's Mansion."

Shen Lang said sternly: "It is also an army of about 2,700, the composition of infantry and cavalry has not changed much, and the changes in prices and the salary of warriors are all included, why is the expenditure of this army increasing every year, and it is increasing faster and faster?"

Xu Wenzhao's face was pale, and he said loudly when he heard this: "Lord Earl, even if I am mad, but I have no right to intervene in the private army of the Earl's Mansion, it is ridiculous to say that I am greedy for military expenses."

"Yes, you don't have the right to covet military expenses." Shen Lang sneered: "However, every year the army's war horses, armors, weapons, etc. will be damaged and replaced. So where are these eliminated weapons, armors, etc.? Woolen cloth?"

Xu Wenzhao said: "Of course it was re-forged?"

Shen Lang laughed and said: "Then why the iron output of the smelting workshop has not seen this increase, or the annual increase is getting less and less."

Shen Lang said again: "Also, one of the largest sources of income for the fiefs of the Earl Xuanwu's Mansion, salt and iron, why is the annual output significantly declining?"

Xu Wenzhao said, "Then how do I know?"

Shen Lang said: "That's because every time you hand over the salt and iron, it's up to you. Through various means, the output of the salt and iron is lost, and then you take the salt and iron as your own and go privately. trade."

"Hahaha." Xu Wenzhao laughed loudly: "You don't have any evidence at all, it's just your own speculation."

"Evidence?" Shen Lang sneered: "You are too greedy, these salt and iron that you have drifted away also need to be packed in sacks, bamboo baskets, horse-drawn carts, and ships. And the purchase of bamboo baskets should also decrease, but no, it has increased, this is the evidence, this is your flaw."

Then, Shen Lang pointed the data on the form to the count.

"Father-in-law, the data on this is clear." Shen Lang said: "You can see it at a glance by just looking at it."

When Lord Earl took Shen Lang's report, his hands trembled slightly.

Although he is soft-tempered, he will look at people.

At a glance, it was obvious that Shen Lang was confident, and Xu Wenzhao's expression was stern.

Therefore, you can already judge without looking at this report.

But when he actually saw this report, the count was still shocked.

Shen Lang was able to make the account data so clear, all kinds of income, all kinds of expenses, clearly and clearly at a glance.

Even a layman like him can see it clearly at a glance.

With this ability, it is really amazing.

And what's even smarter is that he didn't pay attention to the fake accounts made by Xu Wenzhao, and didn't bother with the details at all.

Instead, it is useless to directly grasp the two basic data of the Earl's House's annual income and expenses, and allow Xu Wenzhao to make the accounts colorful.

However, the loopholes in Xu Wenzhao's accounts were still caught in countless places by Shen Lang.

Everything is factual, and it couldn't be clearer.

For example, during the Spring Festival celebration the year before, the Earl's House purchased a thousand more bottles of wine than in previous years, but it was not finished at all. The thousand bottles were taken and returned, but only 30% of the money was returned. This entry and exit, the Earl's Palace lost dozens of gold coins.

Xu Wenzhao's way of making money is really full of tricks, which opened the Earl's eyes.

Lord Earl trembled as he flipped through these reports from Shen Lang.

My heart is full of anger, but also surprise and joy.

The anger is of course because of Xu Wenzhao.

The surprise and joy were entirely because of Shen Lang.

I didn't expect that this son-in-law would be so smart and know so well that he could check these accounts clearly overnight.

This... how is this done?

Lord Earl is not proficient in arithmetic, so it is completely unimaginable.

It can be seen from this that the Earl is also a remarkable person.

At this time, he should have been completely immersed in anger, because he was betrayed, and the Earl's House lost so much.

However, he had extra thoughts to be happy because of his son-in-law's excellence.

"Let Mr. Lin come." Lord Earl ordered.

After a while, Old Master Lin came.

"Look, this is the account Shen Lang made last night." Lord Earl said.

After Old Master Lin took it, he read it carefully.

Then, he was completely stunned!

First of all, he was shocked by the amount of corruption by Xu Wenzhao, but he was still mentally prepared for this.

Then came the ecstasy, Xu Wenzhao, the asshole, was finally over, and everything finally came to the bottom.

What surprised him most was the brand new account.

He first raised his head and glanced at Shen Lang, and then buried himself in the reports.

This, how is this possible?

In just one night, Shen Lang actually checked all the accounts clearly.

This, how did this happen?

Totally incredible!

The layman looked at it, but he didn't think it was too great. Old Master Lin was an expert.

Therefore, no words can describe the shock in his heart.

"How?" Lord Earl said.

"Genius, talent in the sky." Old Master Lin bowed and said, "Congratulations, lord, the genius of heaven is in my Count Xuanwu's mansion. This kind of arithmetic talent, this kind of accounting method, has never been heard of by this old man, and has never been seen before."

Lord Earl smiled slightly and said to Shen Lang: "You can't be proud, you know?"

"Yes." Shen Lang said.

Then, the earl looked at Xu Wenzhao and said coldly, "How much have I relied on you for the past twenty years? I know that your hands and feet are not clean, but when the water is clear, there are no fish, so I also close my eyes. One eye, I didn't expect you to be so maddened!"

It's hard for the Count to get angry, and at this time he was really furious.

Xu Wenzhao's face was pale, and the two sides were fighting.

He felt like he could barely breathe!

The cold sweat on the back kept breaking out, and the whole body could not feel a trace of temperature.

The earl said sharply: "What do you have to say, Xu Wenzhao?"

Xu Wenzhao gasped desperately.

At this time, you must not confess your guilt. Once you confess, it will be over. You must resist to the end.

He has to wait until the big men behind him save him.

And the gold coin he hid was the foundation of his life.

Xu Wenzhao gritted his teeth and said: "Lord Count, why do you want to add a crime? The Count's mansion is running out of money, so you want to start with us? Just take me directly, why do you still want to pour it on my head? Dirty water?"

The count was shaking with anger, and clapped the dozens of pages in his hand: "Aren't these proofs?"

Xu Wenzhao said: "To catch thieves and catch dirty, you keep saying that I have greedy ink for 30,000 gold coins? Where are those gold coins? Where is the evidence? Take it out!"

"Catch the thief, catch the dirty, and say I'm embezzling. Where are the gold coins? Where are they? Where are they?"

"Shen Lang is ignorant and incompetent. He wants to convict me of what he wrote? I won't accept it if I die!"

"Lord Count, I'm just hired by you. I'm not a servant of the Count's Mansion. The Count's Mansion has no right to deal with me privately. I have the fame of Dayue Kingdom!"

What is a trapped beast still fighting, and what is a man who wants to perish, must first make him mad?

That's it.

Xu Wenzhao staged all these ugly scenes vividly.

Lord Earl was really shaking with anger.

He didn't expect that people would be so ugly once their faces were torn apart.

People are so shameless. Is it because he is usually too tolerant that the thieves lose their fear of him?

Xu Wenzhao shouted loudly: "Everyone, come and see, Uncle Shen is going to get rid of his dissidents, and someone is going to do something to us old people in the Earl's Mansion."

However, the whereabouts of the gold coin that Xu Wenzhao embezzled is the most important.

Lord Earl clenched the cup in his hand, took a sip of tea, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said calmly: "Xu Wenzhao, hand over this gold coin, and I can spare you not to die for the love of more than 20 years."

The financial crisis faced by the Earl's House is only the most clear in the heart of the Earl.

If this gold coin can be recovered, it will be greatly relieved.

Now Xu Wenzhao was even more certain that this gold coin was his life-saving charm. His life is worthless, but this gold coin is very important to the Earl's Palace, and of course it has a huge appeal to the big men behind him.

Xu Wenzhao said loudly: "I have no corruption, so how can I hand over the gold coins? All of this is being framed by Shen Lang. I hope the Earl can see it clearly, so as not to chill the hearts of the old people in the Earl's House."

Xu Wenzhao desperately wanted to make things bigger, which made people panic.

The most important thing in the Earl's Mansion right now is stability and unity.

Shen Lang took a step forward and said lightly, "Xu Wenzhao, you just ruined your last life."

Xu Wenzhao sneered: "Anyway, I didn't embezzle. Can you show the evidence? Can you show me the gold coins that I embezzled?"

People who are shameless are invincible.

"I'll let you die horribly and tragically." Shen Lang squatted down and said, "Don't tell me, I really know where your secret vault is?"

"You are dreaming!" Xu Wenzhao laughed.

Only two people know of his secret vault, he and his eldest son.

Even his wife didn't know, and it was impossible for Shen Lang to know where his gold was hidden.

Want to blackmail me? When I, Xu Wenzhao, are three years old?

Shen Lang took out this note from his arms and handed it to the earl: "Father-in-law, let's go to this place together and see Mr. Xu Wenzhao's secret vault."

Lord Earl took a look and said in surprise, "Lang'er, can you really recover this gold coin?"

If it can be recovered, it will be a great achievement, greatly easing the financial crisis of the Earl's Palace.

Shen Lang said: "Ninety-nine percent!"

The Count said loudly, "Jin Zhong, Jin Hui, you lead a hundred cavalry and escort Xu Wenzhao to excavate his secret treasury, and follow the instructions of your uncle."
