Seeing Xu Wenzhao slam 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 so, otherwise he would appear cold.
Xu Wenzhao took the opportunity to embrace the Earl's legs, and said passionately: "Master, I entered the Earl's Mansion when I was a teenager, and I grew up in front of the old master. There is no one in the entire Earl's Mansion who is as loyal as me." ah."
"My lord, if it is possible, I can cut out the heart right now, and let you see if it is red or white!"
Xu Wenzhao said while beating his chest and stamping his feet.
The meaning inside and outside the words is very obvious. I, Xu Wenzhao, am so loyal that I should be treated like this. My lord, are you trying to force me, an old man, to death
"Get up, get up..." The Earl said gently, "Wen Zhao, of course I believe in your loyalty to the Earl's House of Xuanwu."
Xu Wenzhao still knelt on the ground and wailed, showing no intention of getting up.
The Earl certainly knew what the other party wanted.
"Come on, go to the counting room and ask my uncle to come out, don't do it." The earl said kindly.
Xu Wenzhao still couldn't get up, hugged the earl's legs and said loudly: "My lord, if you suspect that I have been unfaithful, if you suspect that I have done something wrong to the earl's mansion, then you will send someone to copy my Come home, then it will be clear."
The Earl frowned.
He even said that the house was stolen, wouldn't it chill the heart of the entire Earl's Mansion
Immediately, he was even more helpless and said: "Go right away, let my uncle come to me immediately."
"yes!"
The second wave of people rushed to the accounting room.
Xu Wenzhao was satisfied now, and got up from the ground.
The Earl was unhappy, but he could only comfort him.
Xu Wenzhao had tears of gratitude on his face, but he was extremely proud in his heart.
Shen Lang, you overthinking yourself, you still want to fight me
Xu Wenzhao really knew the earl's temperament very well. He was smart but soft-hearted. No matter what he did, he liked to figure it out slowly. He was full of aristocratic elegance and calmness, and always cared about the face of his subordinates.
He really can't do such a thing as turning his face in public.
…
"boom!"
The accountant's door was flung open.
A middle-aged steward rushed in with four servants, looking at Shen Lang with a flash of hostility and complacency.
"Hmph, don't look at you as the son-in-law of the Earl's Mansion, but you are only a son-in-law. How can you compare to our Master Xu? You are really humiliating yourself." The middle-aged steward thought to himself.
However, he was still very respectful on the surface, bowed down and said: "Master, the Earl asked you to stop everything in your hands and leave the accountant's room."
Shen Lang opened his eyes, then looked outside the door.
Its daybreak
Time flies so fast, before you know it, the sun has risen.
Seeing this situation, the middle-aged steward felt even more disdainful.
This uncle is really whimsical, I'm afraid you can't even finish reading an account book overnight, and want to check the accounts, it's really stupid and ridiculous.
If you want to check the accounts, at least find dozens of professional people to check them for a month or two.
Immediately afterwards, the second wave of people rushed in quickly and said loudly, "My lord, the Earl has ordered you to go to the hall immediately to apologize to Mr. Xu Wenzhao."
As soon as these words came out, the few people present were even more proud.
These people are the stewards and clerks in the accounting room, and they and Xu Wenzhao have already prospered and lost together.
Shen Lang nodded and said: "Understood, let's go now."
Then, Na put a stack of thick white paper into his arms and walked towards the hall.
The middle-aged steward wanted to snatch the stack of white paper in Shen Lang's arms to see clearly, but he was just thinking about it, and he definitely didn't have the guts to do so.
Besides, Shen Lang can find out a fart in just one night, so there is nothing to worry about.
…
up the hall.
The earl is sitting at the main seat, and Xu Wenzhao is sitting at the lower left corner.
He was thinking in his heart, Tian Heng said that there was a killer move to deal with Shen Lang, and it would definitely see blood, but he didn't know what killer move it was
Originally, Xu Wenzhao should have waited until Shen Lang apologized to him before slandering him, but he couldn't wait.
"My lord, there is one thing that the villain doesn't know whether to say or not?" Xu Wenzhao hesitated.
The count said: "Say."
Xu Wenzhao said: "I heard some rumors in Xuanwu City, saying that Shen Lang was pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. He was obviously very smart, but before that he pretended to be stupid and incompetent. I'm afraid there is danger in his heart."
Hearing this, the Earl was unhappy, and immediately frowned.
As for Shen Lang, the son-in-law, even though he often put on a straight face to teach him a lesson, he still loves him in his heart.
This kind of beautiful, smart, mischievous, sweet-mouthed, trouble-making child is the most pleasing to adults.
The earl is old-fashioned and conservative, but deep in his heart he still yearns for Shen Lang's temperament of doing whatever he wants.
When Xu Wenzhao saw the count frowning, he thought he had spoken to his heart, and was immediately encouraged, "The reason Miss Mulan chose Shen Lang as her son-in-law before was because he seemed the most incompetent and least ambitious, but Looking at it now, this son-in-law Shen Lang is very ambitious."
The earl doesn't like to hear it anymore.
What
You say Shen Lang is ambitious
Although I, Jin Zhuo, have a kind heart and a soft ear, I am not blind yet.
Only that little ruffian Shen Lang is still ambitious
His greatest ideal is probably to take revenge on Tian Heng and Xu Qianqian. If that little bastard has ambitions, I, Earl Xuanwu, would dream of becoming an emperor.
"My lord earl was fine when you were here. After a hundred years, how can you restrain Shen Lang with your son's talent?" Xu Wenzhao said: "Of course there is Miss Mulan, but she is a woman after all, and her husband is the most People who are close to you, plus Shen Lang is pretty and good at talking sweetly, I'm afraid it will cause trouble to Xiao Qiang, and the Xuanwu Earl's Mansion will change its master."
Speaking of this, Xu Wenzhao said in an extremely sincere voice: "Master, every time I think of this, I toss and turn and can't sleep at night. That's why I target Uncle Shen Lang like this. These are all from my heart."
Xu Wenzhao is eager for quick success and quick profit, wishing to make the fire flourish all at once, but he forgot how such a thing can be accomplished overnight
At this moment, Shen Lang walked in.
"Meet my father-in-law."
Shen Lang usually has a lazy face, and his handsome face is full of rascality.
But at this time, he was unexpectedly serious.
The Earl doesn't like Xu Wenzhao's gossip, he just wants to end all this quickly, and then slowly take away the power in his hands.
So, he said, "Shen Lang, you are here to apologize to Mr. Xu Wenzhao. You are a student after all, and your attitude was not good yesterday."
The Earl's attitude was obvious, making Shen Lang apologize for yesterday's attitude instead of apologizing for checking the accounts.
It can be seen that he still has a clear idea of right and wrong in his heart, and he thinks that Shen Lang's audit is not wrong.
It's just that Xu Wenzhao was so proud that he couldn't hear the meaning behind the words, pointed at Shen Lang and said sadly: "Uncle Shen Lang, what did I offend you? You are so narrow-minded and want to check my account, don't you Do you think I can't do enough to enrich myself? I, Xu Wenzhao, am open and upright, and the world can learn from it."
Shen Lang didn't speak, just quietly watched his performance.
Xu Wenzhao raised his voice a few times and said, "Uncle Shen, you are so private and want to drive me away so impatiently. Could it be that you have some ulterior motive?"
Then, he turned his head to look at the Earl and said: "Master, the New Deal is in full swing, and the veteran nobles everywhere are panicking. My Xuanwu Earl's House is a thorn in the eyes of the Governor. Dissension, must be guarded against, must be punished!"
Are you finally done with the show
It's my turn!
Shen Lang glanced at him, and said calmly: "Xu Wenzhao, I thought you would be corrupt, but I really didn't expect you to be so corrupt."
"You are just the head of a mere accountant in the Earl's Mansion, and you have been greedy for nearly 30,000 gold coins in the past twenty years. It is really shocking and insane!"
Shen Lang's voice was extremely high, and he roared sharply: "Xu Wenzhao, where is your conscience? Did you get eaten by a dog?"
Thirty thousand gold coins!
Hearing this data, Xu Wenzhao almost jumped up.
"Lang'er, what you said is true?" The Earl stood up abruptly.
He widened his eyes in disbelief. He knew that Xu Wenzhao's hands and feet were more or less dirty, but he should not have spent more than two or three thousand gold coins in his pockets these years.
Unexpectedly, as soon as Shen Lang opened his mouth, he received 30,000 gold coins, a full tenfold increase.
The most frightening one was Xu Wenzhao.
Because of how much he has been greedy in total, he knows best in his heart.
He knows every account well.
In the past twenty years, the gold coins he has been greedy for ink have been around 30,000.
So when Shen Lang said the number 30,000, his heart almost stopped beating.
Both legs trembled violently.
Then, there was a burst of tinnitus.
But soon, he forced himself to calm down.
Shen Lang must have guessed wildly, what could he find out in just one night
Even reading an account book is enough, and even a god can't do it if you want to check it thoroughly. Without dozens of people for a month, it is impossible to check it out.
"Shen Lang, you are really shameful and ridiculous!" Xu Wenzhao sternly said, "You say that I was greedy for 30,000 gold coins. Where is the evidence? Where is the evidence?"
Then, Xu Wenzhao knelt down in front of the Earl, and said loudly: "Master Earl, I, Xu Wenzhao, have been loyal to the Earl's House for twenty years. I have worked hard even if I have no credit. Now Shen Lang is accusing me of embezzling 30,000 gold coins. You want to drive me to death. He is just a little son-in-law who is so arrogant. After the Earl is gone in the future, won't he want to occupy the magpie's nest, and the century-old foundation of the Jin family in Xuanwu City will be destroyed by him. in hand."
Shen Lang chuckled lightly and said, "Xu Wenzhao, I thought the fake account you made would be perfect, but I didn't expect it to be full of loopholes. Don't jump, you're doomed."
Then, he laid out the results of his own audit and sorted out the forms on the table one by one, so that the Earl could see clearly.
