Chapter 55 True Genius! Despair! Chapter 55 True Genius! Despair!

“Xu Wenzhao, you make all these accounts into a cluster of thousands of books, all kinds of expenses and income, and hundreds of data every day.” Shen lang said, “It’s a fantasy that you want to hide the truth in these complicated accounts.”

“No matter how fancy your accounts are, all I have to do is capture the core data of Earl’s mansion’s annual income and expenses.”

“Count xuanwu’s mansion has four major sources of income: grain, silk, iron and salt from Wangya island!”

“There are also six major expenses in Earl’s mansion, including salaries for personnel, taxes paid to the monarch, military expenditure for the 2700 troops, expenses for various festivals and celebrations, and for the reception of distinguished guests, procurement of daily necessities, and construction of land reclamation projects.”

“Your focus is on repetitive salaries, construction of land fiefs, and procurement of daily necessities.”

“Of course, this was just your early greed for ink. In the later stages, you became more and more ambitious, and you actually put the hands of greed into the army of Earl’s mansion and salt and iron.”

Shen Lang said sternly, “The composition of the same two thousand and seven hundred troops, infantry and cavalry has not changed much, including the changes in prices and the changes in the salaries of warriors. Why is the expenditure of this army increasing every year and increasing faster and faster?”

Xu Wenzhao’s face was pale, and when he heard this, he said loudly, “Lord earl, even if I were to lose my mind again, I have no right to interfere in the private army of Earl’s mansion. It is ridiculous to say that I am greedy for money.”

“Yes, you have no right to covet military spending.” Xu Wenzhao sneered, “But every year, the army’s horses, armour, weapons and so on will be damaged and changed. So where are these obsolete weapons, armour and so on?”

Xu wenzhao said, “Of course it’s been re-forged?”

Shen Lang laughed and said, “Then why doesn’t the iron output of the smelting workshop see this increase, or the annual increase is less and less.”

Shen Lang added, “Also, why is the annual production of salt and iron, one of the biggest sources of income in Count xuanwu’s mansion’s fief finance, declining significantly?”

Xu wenzhao said, “How would I know?”

Shen lang said, “That’s because every time you hand over the salt and iron, it is handled by you. Through various means, the output of the salt and iron will be floated away, and then you will take the salt and iron as your own and trade it privately.”

“Hahaha.” Xu Wenzhao laughed, “You don’t have any evidence at all. You’re just guessing.”

“Evidence?” Shen Lang sneered, “You are too greedy. These salt and iron that you have floated need to be packed in sacks, bamboo baskets, carriages, and ships. The production of salt and iron is down, and the purchase of sacks and baskets should be down, but no, it’s up. This is evidence, this is your flaw.”

Shen Lang then showed the count the same data on the table.

“Father-in-law, the data on this is very clear.” Shen lang said, “You can see it at a glance.”

When the earl received the Shen Lang report, his hands trembled slightly.

Although he has a soft temper, he can judge people.

It was obvious at first glance that Shen Lang had a plan in mind, and that Xu Wenzhao had a bad temper.

Therefore, you can already tell before you look at this report.

But when he saw the report, the earl was still shocked.

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

Even a layman like him could see through it at a glance.

With this ability, it’s really amazing.

And even more cleverly, he didn’t care about Xu Wenzhao’s fake accounts and didn’t bother with the details.

Instead, he grabbed the two basic figures of Earl’s mansion’s annual income and expenditure, and left Xu Wenzhao to do all sorts of fancy accounts to no avail.

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

Everything was solid evidence, so clear that it couldn’t be clearer.

For example, during the spring festival celebration the year before last, Earl’s mansion purchased a thousand bottles of wine more than usual, but it was never finished after the event. The thousand bottles of wine were refunded, but only returned a 70 % discount. Earl’s mansion lost dozens of gold coins as soon as they came in and out.

Xu wenzhao’s method of making money was really full of tricks, which opened the earl’s eyes.

The earl shuddered as he flipped through Shen Lang’s reports.

There was anger, surprise and joy in her heart.

Of course it was because of Xu Wenzhao.

The surprise and joy were all due to Shen Lang.

I didn’t expect this son-in-law to be so smart, so knowledgeable, and to be able to find out all these accounts in just one night.

This… How did this happen?

The earl was not proficient in arithmetic and could not imagine it.

It was obvious from this that the earl was also a great man.

At this point, he should have been completely engulfed in anger because he had been betrayed and Earl’s mansion had suffered such a great loss.

However, he had extra thought to be happy with his son-in-law’s excellence.

“Let Mr. Lin come,” ordered the earl.

A moment later, Master lin arrived.

“Look, this is the account that Shen Lang made last night.” Said the count.

Master lin took it and flipped through it.

Then, he was completely stunned!

He looked up at Shen Lang and then buried his head in the reports.

This, how is this possible?

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

This, how did this happen?

It’s totally unbelievable!

The layman saw it, but he didn’t think it was too great. Master lin was an expert.

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

“How is it?” Said the count.

“Genius, the genius of heaven.” Master lin bowed and said, “Congratulations, my lord, the general of heaven is talented in my Count xuanwu’s mansion. This kind of arithmetic talent, this kind of accounting method, the old man has never heard of it, never seen it.”

The earl smiled and said to shen lang, “Don’t be proud, okay?”

“Yes,” shen lang said.

Then, the earl looked at Xu Wenzhao and said coldly, “How much have I relied on you for over twenty years? I know your hands and feet are not clean, but when the water is clean, there is no fish. I also turn a blind eye. I didn’t expect you to be so crazy!”

It was rare for the earl to be angry, and he was really furious at this moment.

Xu Wenzhao’s face was pale and he was in a double battle.

He felt like he couldn’t breathe!

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

The count snapped, “What more can Xu Wenzhao say now?”

Xu Wenzhao gasped for air.

At this time, you can’t plead guilty. If you plead guilty, it will be over. You must fight to the end.

He had to wait for the big shots behind him to save him.

And the gold coin that he hid was the basis of his life.

Xu Wenzhao gritted his teeth and said, “Your lordship, there is no harm in adding to the crime. Earl’s mansion is in a financial deficit and wants to start with us. Take me down directly. Why do you want to splash dirty water on my head?”

The count was trembling with anger and patted the dozens of pages in his hand, “Isn’t this evidence?”

Xu wenzhao said, “Catch the thief and catch the dirt. You keep saying that I have been greedy for thirty thousand gold coins? Where are those gold coins? Where is the evidence? Take it out!”

“Catch thieves, catch dirt, say I’m corrupt. Where are those gold coins? Where are they? Where are they?”

“Shen Lang is ignorant and ill-intentioned. He wants to convict me with his scribbles? I won’t give up even if I die!”

“Your excellency, I am only employed by you. I am not a servant of Earl’s mansion. Earl’s mansion has no right to deal with me without permission. I have the credit of the great Yue kingdom!”

What is the meaning of a trapped animal fighting, what is the meaning of a person who wants to destroy, must first make people crazy?

This is it.

Xu Wenzhao put on an ugly scene.

The count was trembling with rage.

He did not expect that people would be so ugly once they were disfigured.

People are so shameless. Was it because he was too tolerant that the thief lost his fear of him?

Xu Wenzhao shouted, “Everyone, look at shen Uncle. He’s going to kill himself. Someone is going to do something to us old people in Earl’s mansion.”

However, the whereabouts of the gold coins that Xu Wenzhao embezzled were most important.

The 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 for the sake of more than twenty years, I will spare your life.”

Only the earl knew best about the financial crisis facing Earl’s mansion.

If the gold coin could be recovered, it would be greatly alleviated.

Xu Wenzhao was even more certain that this gold coin was his life preserver. His life was not worth much, but this gold coin was very important to Earl’s mansion, and of course it was very attractive to the big shots behind him.

Xu Wenzhao said loudly, “I’m not corrupt. How can I hand over the gold coins? Shen Lang is framing all of this. I hope the earl is aware of this so as not to upset the hearts of all the old people in Earl’s mansion.”

Xu Wenzhao tried so hard to make a big fuss that people were scared.

The most important thing in Earl’s mansion right now was stability and unity. He had to find a way to make everyone in danger. He wasn’t the only one who was pocketing his own money.

Shen Lang stepped forward and said faintly, “Xu Wenzhao, you just lost your last life.”

Xu Wenzhao sneered, “Since I’m not corrupt, why don’t you show me the evidence? Why don’t you show me the gold coins I embezzled?”

People are invincible if they are shameless.

“I will let you die peacefully and miserably.” Shen Lang squatted down and said, “Don’t tell me. I really know where your secret vault is.”

“You’re dreaming!” Xu wenzhao smiled.

Only two people knew about his secret vault, him and his eldest son.

Even his wife didn’t know, and it was impossible for Shen Lang to know where he hid the gold.

Are you trying to blackmail me? Am I Xu Wenzhao’s three-year-old?

Shen Lang took the note out of his arms and handed it to the count, “Father-in-law, let’s go to this place and see Mr. Xu Wenzhao’s secret vault.”

The count took a look at it and said in surprise, “Lang, can you really get this gold coin back?”

If they could recover it, it would be a great achievement and greatly ease Earl’s mansion’s financial crisis.

Shen lang said, “99 %!”

The count said in a loud voice, “Jin Zhong, Jin Hui, you lead a hundred cavalry men and take xu wenzhao to dig out his secret treasury, and follow Uncle’s orders.”
