Shen Lang came outside the Earl's room.
The count and lady were already asleep.
"My lord mother-in-law, my lord father-in-law!" Shen Lang shouted in a beautiful voice.
"Huh!" This is from my father-in-law.
"Hey, what's wrong with Lang'er?" It was from the mother-in-law, and her voice was 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 left out of anger, and he probably won't show up these days. However, the accounts of the Earl's Mansion have to be carried out as usual. There are a lot of gold, silver and property coming in and out of the mansion these days. If the accounts are delayed In a few days, I'm afraid that the next gold and silver will not be paid out, and my son-in-law just happens to be good at arithmetic, why don't we let my son-in-law take the top in these few days, and hand it over to Mr. Xu when he comes back?"
The earl said: "Is there anything you can't say tomorrow?"
Damn, you still have the energy to get up, the majestic Earl? The point is that it's only around nine o'clock in the evening, why are you going to bed so early
Madam said: "Lang'er is also kind-hearted, can't you talk well?"
Then, the lady's voice came from inside.
"Lang'er, come in and tell me."
Shen Lang still stopped outside for a while, and then walked in, so as not to see anything he shouldn't see.
The Earl looked displeased, but the Madam looked at Shen Lang with a smile.
"To be honest, what are you thinking?" the Earl asked.
What is the most important thing facing relatives
Heart to heart!
While being smart, don't take others for 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 Earl slapped the table violently.
He just doesn't like the fact that Shen Lang must pay for his grievances.
It's true that Xu Wenzhao was looking for trouble with you today, but you've pushed him back severely, and you've lost a lot of face, but you haven't spent the night yet, and you're going to mess with him again
But the mother-in-law appreciates this very much.
She felt that her husband was too tolerant, Shen Lang was such a good child, he didn't hide any thoughts, he was not hypocritical at all.
Shen Lang said: "Father-in-law, Xu Wenzhao's annual salary is only two hundred gold coins, but several of his sons wear gold and silver, and silk and satin. They not only marry wives, but also take concubines. In Xuanwu City and even Nujiang County , has a lot of real estate, with more than a thousand acres of land, which has far exceeded his salary level."
The Earl frowned, and said word by word: "Langer, when the water is clear, there will be no fish!"
This sentence shows that the earl is a sensible person, but he just turns a blind eye most of the time.
Shen Lang said: "Father-in-law is too kind-hearted and thinks too well of people. Perhaps Xu Wenzhao's greed for money far exceeds your imagination and tolerance?"
The countess waited softly: "Lang'er, tell mother, why are you targeting Xu Wenzhao like this?"
Shen Lang said: "Mother-in-law, it is true that Xu Wenzhao is a narrow-minded person, but why is he targeting me so eagerly to retaliate against me? Is it just because he has a deep relationship with his nephew Wang Lian? Is there another reason? , Am I blocking their way?"
These words are heartbreaking.
Xu Wenzhao's slander hadn't entered yet, but Uncle Shen's slander came first.
The Earl and his wife fell into deep thought.
Then, Shen Lang took out two account books and said: "This is Xu Wenzhao's account books. Although they are two very unimportant account books, they are all about the purchase records of the Earl's Mansion banquet drinks, but my son-in-law has already discovered serious problems. Corruption."
"Really?" Madame asked.
The earl said: "Where did you get these two books?"
"Ahem, this is not important." Shen Lang said: "I, I asked the prince to go to the accountant to help get it."
Is it taken? Obviously stealing!
The earl's face twitched, his silly son!
Shen Lang said: "Old Master Lin is actually good at arithmetic, and he is noble and indifferent, treating money like dung, my son-in-law wants to ask him to check the accounts of the Earl's Mansion together."
The meaning expressed by Shen Lang is very clear, I will not show favoritism, so let Old Master Lin, an upright person, be on the sidelines to supervise.
The countess took the two account books that Shen Lang handed over. Although she couldn't understand them, he believed what his son-in-law said.
He said that the problem is serious, and it should be serious.
The lady said: "Husband, it's good to check it out."
"But..." the Earl hesitated.
After all, Xu Wenzhao is a distant relative of his wife, and he was more tolerant of Xu Wenzhao because of this before.
The countess said: "After I married the Jin family in Xuanwu City, I became a member of the Jin family, and the interests of the family must be the most important. If it is found out that Xu Wenzhao is not greedy for ink, it is of course good, even if he is not greedy for ink, we will just open it Just turn a blind eye. But if you get too much ink, you can't tolerate it."
The Earl hesitated for a long time.
He really didn't want to be this villain. Although Xu Wenzhao was narrow-minded and proud, he had been with him for decades after all, and he worked hard without credit.
Shen Lang said: "Father-in-law, I am only responsible for checking the accounts. After the check is clear, I will send them all to you, and I will not express any opinions."
The Earl frowned, and then said: "Okay..."
Then, he said seriously: "But let me tell you, Shen Lang, Xu Wenzhao is an old man in the Earl's Mansion, so he must keep his face. You can't tell anyone about the account check, and once he comes back, no matter whether you have checked it or not, We must stop immediately, and we must not tear his face."
Shen Lang was speechless, this father-in-law's heart was too soft and he was too tolerant.
"Yes." Shen Lang bowed.
It is said that Xu Wenzhao lost such a big face, and he would definitely not come back for four or five days, so Shen Lang had 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, father-in-law!" Shen Lang said: "My son-in-law is going now."
After Shen Lang left, the Earl pointed to the direction where he disappeared and said: "Look, look, this bastard is sure to take revenge. I really don't know where he has such a strong desire for revenge."
Madam said: "I think it's pretty good, he really has a very good temperament, and he didn't hide from us. Dasha is just a playmate in his village, and he treats him so well. Mulan married such a man, I'm pretty relieved."
The Earl was jealous, and said: "It's good for Mulan to marry Shen Lang, but wouldn't it be good for you to marry me?"
Madam chuckled and said: "Okay, okay, you are also welcome, husband, but it's too pedantic."
The Earl said: "I just can't see him being so ungenerous."
The lady said: "It is enough for the couple to have a magnanimous one. Mulan is already magnanimous enough. If Lang'er is more magnanimous, our family will suffer."
…
In the tent, Shen Lang was stunned!
"My day, so much?"
In the entire account room, there are thousands of account books piled up.
Old Master Lin said: "Is it possible that there are not many books for more than twenty years? It will take several months to read all of them. If you want to check the accounts thoroughly, you need at least dozens of people. It may not be enough to check them in a month." .”
With so many books, there is no time for a month or two, and it is impossible to find out.
How much time does Shen Lang have
I don't know, it's four or five days long, and it's only one night if it's broken.
"Uncle, you only have one night." Master Lin said, "The guy who opened the door for us just now is Xu Wenzhao's confidant apprentice. Wen Zhao will come back."
As soon as Xu Wenzhao came back, he would take away the power of accountant.
The earl is soft-hearted and tolerant, and will definitely not refuse.
Therefore, Shen Lang's audit can only be ignored, and there will be no chance in the future.
By that time, Shen Lang had just been a villain for nothing, and it was in vain, and he lost face.
…
After the accountant who opened the door went out, his face immediately became gloomy.
Then, he immediately rushed to the room where the accountant was in charge and informed the matter.
"This little boy with a fair face actually came to check the accounts? We must send someone to notify Master Xu Wenzhao."
Once the gate of the Earl's Mansion is closed, no one can get out, and the gate will not open until dawn tomorrow.
"Do you want to set fire to the account room? Burn that little boy to death in it too." The guy said coldly.
The middle-aged steward could not help but glance at him.
Damn, I didn't see it, you are so young at such a young age
"Idiot, I don't want to live anymore, otherwise everyone will die." The middle-aged steward said, "I'll inform Mr. Xu Wenzhao before dawn, and I'll find out the ass overnight."
A steward next to him sneered and said, "Thousands of account books have to be checked for a month. If there are not dozens of people who check them for a month or two, they can't find out at all."
"That idiot with a whimsical white face wants to check the account just overnight. His brain is really flooded, and even the gods can't find it out. Wait for Master Xu to slap him in the face tomorrow."
"However, this little boy is thinking about checking our accounts. He really can't keep it. He will discuss it with Master Xu tomorrow and find a way to get rid of him."
Interest groups are so sharp!
…
In the account room.
Old Master Lin said: "Grandpa, you should have told me in advance if you have this thought. In this way, I will also think of a way to send Xu Wenzhao away for a few days."
Shen Lang said: "Old Master, do you also doubt Xu Wenzhao?"
"It's not suspicion, it's certainty." Old Master Lin said, "The Earl is too tolerant and kind, and underestimates the evils of human nature. I have also wanted to check the accounts many times to see how much money Xu Wenzhao has pocketed. I even sent a student to come undercover in his accounting office!"
As soon as these words came out, Shen Lang was surprised.
Didn't expect there to be such a story
Old Master Lin said: "That child had been undercover for three years before gaining Xu Wenzhao's trust. He was finally about to find out the key data, but suddenly fell ill and died suddenly."
"I'm afraid he 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."
Shen Lang has seen An Zaishi's medical skills before, and he is indeed very brilliant.
Old Master Lin said: "Since then, I have never had the opportunity to check Xu Wenzhao's accounts."
"But I firmly believe that he must have been greedy for a lot, maybe a very exaggerated number. It's just that he runs the accounting office impeccably. The ledgers are all flawless."
There are no flawless ledgers, only superficially flawless ones.
"Oh, uncle, you are too eager." Master Lin said with great regret: "The entire accounting office has been run by Xu Wenzhao for decades, and we can't find a helper. We only rely on the two of us to check these accounts. At least a month or two."
"And he will come back tomorrow morning. In just one night, there are so many ledgers that don't even have enough time to look through them. They can't find anything at all. They will only scare the snake away."
Isn't one night enough
If only relying on Shen Lang and Lin Fuzi is not enough, even a month may not be enough.
But there is no need to check every account book at all, just check the core account books for each year.
Of course, there are dozens of big books that are thick enough, and it will take at least ten days and a half months.
However, Shen Lang has a brain, and it is an evolved brain.
It's time for you to feel the power of genius!
We are different!
