Chapter 54 : The Earl Was Shocked! Stop Jumping, You're Dead!

He saw Xu Wenzhao hit his head against the wall.

"Don't do that."

The earl rushed forward and blocked Xu Wenzhao.

Even if he knew that Xu Wenzhao was acting, he had to do it, or it would be cold.

Xu Wenzhao took the opportunity to hold the earl's legs and said enthusiastically, "Master, I entered Earl's mansion when I was a teenager. I grew up in front of the old master. There is no one in the earl's family as loyal as me."

"My lord, if I may, I can cut my heart out now and show you whether it's red or white!"

Xu Wenzhao pounded his chest as he spoke.

The meaning between the words was very obvious. I, Xu Wenzhao, am so loyal and loyal that I should be treated like this. My lord, are you trying to force me to death?

"Get up, get up..." The count said gently, "Wen zhao, of course I believe in your loyalty to Count xuanwu's mansion."

Xu Wenzhao was still kneeling on the ground and wailing, with no intention of getting up.

Of course, the earl knew what the other party wanted.

"Someone, go to the accounts and ask Uncle to come out. Don't do it." Said the count.

Xu Wenzhao still could not get up. He hugged the count's legs and shouted, "My lord, if you suspect that I have been unfaithful, if you suspect that I have done something wrong to Earl's mansion, then send someone to raid my home. That will be clear."

The count frowned.

If even the scribe said so, wouldn't it make the whole earl's family feel cold?

At once, he said even more helplessly, "Go now, and ask Uncle to come to me immediately."

"Yes!"

The second wave rushed to the accounts room.

Xu Wenzhao was satisfied and got up from the ground.

The count was unhappy, but he could only offer comfort.

Xu Wenzhao's face was filled with gratitude, but his heart was filled with pride.

Shen Lang, you overestimate yourself and still want to fight me?

Xu Wenzhao knew the countess's temperament too well. He was smart but kind. He liked to do everything slowly, full of the elegance and calmness of the nobles, and always took care of his subordinates' face.

He really couldn't do such a thing in public.

...

"Bang!"

The door to the accounts room was pushed open.

A middle-aged steward rushed in with four servants, and a trace of hostility and pride flashed across his eyes as he looked at Shen Lang.

"Hmph, don't look like you're Uncle from Earl's mansion, but you're just a new son-in-law. How can you compare to our master xu? You're really embarrassing yourself." The middle-aged steward thought to himself.

However, on the surface, he was still very respectful. He bowed and said, "Uncle, the earl asked you to stop everything in your hands and leave the accounts."

Shen Lang opened his eyes and looked out the door.

Dawn?

Time flies by so fast that the sun rises before you know it.

When the middle-aged steward saw this, he felt even more disdainful.

This Uncle is really daydreaming. He was afraid that you would not be able to finish reading an account book overnight and still want to check the accounts. It was really stupid and ridiculous.

If you want to check the accounts, at least find dozens of professionals to check for a month or two.

Then the second wave rushed in and shouted, "Uncle, your excellency has an order for you to go to the hall and apologize to Mr. Xu Wenzhao immediately."

As soon as these words came out, the few people present were even more pleased.

These people were the stewards and assistants in the accounts room. They and Xu Wenzhao were already in the same good and bad situation.

Shen lang nodded and said, "I see. I'll go now."

Then, he put a thick stack of white paper into his arms and walked towards the hall.

The middle-aged steward had the heart to snatch the stack of white paper from Shen Lang's arms and see it clearly, but he was just thinking about it. He had no guts at all.

Besides, in just one night, Shen Lang was able to find out what the hell was wrong. What was there to worry about?

...

In the hall.

The earl sat in the main seat while Xu Wenzhao sat in the lower left corner.

He was thinking to himself, Tian Heng said there was a way to deal with Shen Lang. He would definitely see blood in one move, but he didn't know what it was.

Originally, Xu Wenzhao should wait until Shen Lang apologized to him before slandering him, but he couldn't wait.

"Your lordship, is there something that the little man does not know to say?" Xu Wenzhao hesitated.

The count said, "Speak."

Xu wenzhao said, "I heard some rumors in xuanwu city that shen lang was very smart pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, but he pretended to be stupid and incompetent before. I was afraid that there would be danger in my heart."

Hearing this, the earl was displeased and immediately frowned.

As for Shen Lang, the son-in-law, he liked it in his heart, even though he kept a straight face to teach him a lesson.

This kind of beautiful, smart, mischievous, sweet-talked, trouble-making child is the most popular with adults.

The earl was a conservative man, but deep down he yearned for Shen Lang's free will.

Xu Wenzhao saw the earl frown and thought that he had said something to his heart. He was even more encouraged and said, "Before, Miss Mulan chose shen lang as his son-in-law because he looked the most incompetent and the least ambitious, but now it seems that Shen Lang, Uncle, was very ambitious."

The earl disliked it even more.

What?

You said Shen Lang was ambitious?

Although I, jin zhuo, have a kind heart and a soft ear, my eyes are not blind yet.

Is that little ruffian Shen Lang still ambitious?

His greatest dream was to take revenge on Tian Heng and Xu Qianqian. If that little bastard had ambition, I, Count xuanwu, would dream of becoming emperor.

"Your excellency was fine when you were here. A hundred years from now, with the talent of the crown prince, how could you subdue Shen Lang?" Xu wenzhao said, "Of course there is Miss Mulan, but she is a woman after all. Her husband is the closest person to her. Plus, shen lang is beautiful and is good at sweet talk. When the time comes, Count xuanwu's mansion will change its master."

At this point, Xu Wenzhao said in a sincere voice, "Master, whenever I think of this, I toss and turn, unable to sleep at night. That's why I'm so against Shen Lang Uncle. These are all my words from the bottom of my heart."

Xu wenzhao was a man who was eager for quick success and instant profit. He wanted to burn the fire in one fell swoop, but he forgot how such a thing could be accomplished in one fell swoop.

Just then, Shen Lang walked in.

"To see your father-in-law."

Shen Lang usually had a lazy face and a pretty face full of ruffians.

At this moment, he was unusually serious.

The earl disliked Xu Wenzhao's gossiping and wanted to put an end to it and slowly take away his power.

So, he said, "Shen Lang, you are here to apologize to Mr. Xu Wenzhao. You are a student after all. You had a bad attitude yesterday."

The earl's attitude was obvious, making Shen Lang apologize for yesterday's attitude, not for checking the accounts.

It was obvious that he still had a clear idea of what was right and what was wrong with Shen Lang's audit.

However, Xu Wenzhao was so proud that he could not hear what he was saying. He pointed at Shen Lang and said sadly, "Shen Lang Uncle, where have I offended you? You are so narrow-minded that you want to check my account. Do you think I have pocketed my own money? I am Xu Wenzhao frank and aboveboard, heaven and earth can learn from it."

Shen Lang did not say anything but watched him perform quietly.

Xu Wenzhao raised his voice a few degrees and said, "Shen Uncle, you are so private and narrow-minded that you can't wait to chase me away. Do you have any ulterior motives?"

Then, he turned to the earl and said, "Master, the new deal is in full swing now, and the old aristocrats everywhere are in a panic. I, Count xuanwu's mansion, am the thorn in lord Governor general's eye. Shen Lang is stirring up trouble at this time, disrupting people's hearts, stirring up dissension, not to be guarded, not to be punished!"

Are you finally done?

It's my turn!

Shen lang looked at him and said, "Xu Wenzhao, I thought you would be corrupt, but I really didn't expect you to be so greedy."

"You are only the head of an account in Earl's mansion. In the past twenty years, you have embezzled nearly thirty thousand gold coins. How shocking and insane!"

Shen Lang raised his voice to a high pitch and yelled, "Xu Wenzhao, where's your conscience? Was it eaten by a dog?"

Thirty thousand gold coins!

Hearing the data, Xu Wenzhao almost jumped up.

"Lang, are you telling the truth?" The earl suddenly stood up.

He widened his eyes in disbelief. He knew that Xu Wenzhao's hands and feet were somewhat unclean, but he should not have more than two or three thousand gold coins in his pocket over the years.

Unexpectedly, when Shen Lang opened his mouth, it was thirty thousand gold coins, which was ten times more.

The most shocking thing was Xu Wenzhao.

Because of the total amount of ink, his heart is the clearest.

He knew every debt like the back of his hand.

In the past twenty years, the amount of gold coins he coveted was around 30,000.

So when Shen Lang said the number 30,000, his heart almost stopped beating.

Both legs trembled.

Then, there were bursts of tinnitus.

But soon, he forced himself to calm down.

Shen Lang must have guessed. What could he find out just overnight?

It was hard enough to even finish reading an account book. Even the immortal could not do a thorough investigation. Without dozens of people for a month, it was impossible to find out.

"Shen Lang, you are so shameful. How ridiculous!" Xu Wenzhao snapped, "Empty teeth said I was greedy for thirty thousand gold coins. Where's the evidence? Where's the evidence?"

Then, Xu Wenzhao knelt down in front of the earl and shouted, "Earl, I, Xu Wenzhao, have been loyal to Earl's mansion for twenty years. I have worked hard without any credit. Now Shen Lang is accusing me of embezzling thirty thousand gold coins. This is forcing me to die. He is so arrogant just because he is just a little redundant son-in-law. After his lord the earl went, wouldn't he want to occupy the magpie's nest and destroy the century-old foundation of the jin family in xuanwu city in his hands?"

Shen lang chuckled and said, "Xu Wenzhao, I thought your fake account would be perfect, but I didn't expect it to be full of loopholes. Don't jump. You're dead."

After that, he laid out the results of his investigation and the sorted forms on the table one by one, and the earl could see them clearly.
