Chapter 353 Return to Texas
Chapter 353 Return to Texas
Those who dare to be presumptuous are nothing but fools who know that they are at the end of their rope.
In order to kill the chicken to scare the monkey, the Qin family ran directly into the gun barrel, and Bei Jingchu had no intention of holding back.
The fate of their family frightened some people, and no one dared to openly refuse to cooperate. After all, it was definitely better to keep some of the property than to confiscate it.
An earl family named Xuan did not want to give up the land they had acquired. They did not dare to use force, so they tried to find a way to approach it softly.
They found a very famous accountant and invited him over after many invitations.
Faced with the risk of property confiscation, Lord Xuan was still a little worried.
The accountant was unhappy because this was a doubt on his ability.
He said with a stern face, "Don't worry, my uncle, there will be no trace of the false accounts I made."
Lord Xuan hesitated: "But the Ministry of Revenue has many talented people. If the accounts are fake, how could no one see it?"
This gentleman may have never been caught, and he is very bold and skilled. He said arrogantly: "I have lived to such an old age and have been making false accounts for a lifetime. I dare say that in the whole of Dai Viet, no one who can see the flaws has been born yet."
"The officials of the Ministry of Revenue may be outstanding in everything, but I have never delved into poetry, music, literature, history and classics. My whole life has been buried in account books."
"When it comes to everything, I'm naturally not as good as them. When it comes to accounting alone, they're not as good as me."
Neither Lord Xuanbo nor the accountant had children preparing for this year's imperial examinations, so naturally they did not pay attention to the new policy of direct recording by the six ministries.
As he spoke, the gentleman, in order to prove his ability, asked Lord Xuanbo to lean over and whisper something in his ear.
Lord Xuan’s eyes widened.
"You were the one who made the bill for that family!"
The servant greedily stole his master's money, and now that family is ruined, but the crime has not yet been exposed.
The financial expenses were so huge that they naturally became suspicious, but after checking it over and over again without any results, they had no choice but to accept it.
The accountant stroked his beard and smiled profoundly, saying, "Besides this one, there are many more, but I can't tell you."
Lord Xuan was convinced and felt relieved. Seeing that the gentleman was in a bad mood, he quickly put on a smile.
He is the current God of Wealth in their family. Whether the loss of property can be minimized depends entirely on him.
When the prince's men came to their door, the Xuan family cooperated very actively.
He handed over his account book respectfully.
They believed that the prince could be ruthless, but only after they found out their flaws.
As a result, the next day, Xuanbo's family became part of the property-raiding team again.
He went to settle the accounts with the accountant who swore solemnly, but the other party was grabbed by the collar and was hit so hard that he began to doubt his life.
"Since when has the Ministry of Revenue become so capable and efficient? I have been hiding this from you before..."
The original capital was renamed Anzhou. Bei Jingchu was appointed regent and was stationed in Anzhou and could not leave, so the local powerful families sent their trusted confidants to govern the country.
Xin'er was sent to Texas.
Returning to my hometown, everything is unfamiliar.
Of course, her and the envoys she brought with her were not as capable as Bei Jingchu and others who were far away in Anzhou, but Xin'er was a king of papers.
When working, they have a kind of "if I can't kill myself, I'll work myself to death" mentality.
Overtime became a trend in Texas for a while, and everyone missed the days in Anzhou when they could leave on time.
After Xin'er found out, she recalled the tricks she had learned from the Crown Prince and encouraged him, "Everyone, cheer up! Once we're done, we can go back to Anzhou and continue to live a leisurely life! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely reward us!"
The skill of drawing cakes is gradually becoming more proficient.
While counting and harvesting the land that should have been returned to the court, the wealthy families in Dezhou also used various means like those in Anzhou in an attempt to struggle.
Many people tried to inquire about Xin'er's preferences, hoping to bribe the prince's favorites to let their family go.
Someone took precious treasures away, but Xin'er not only confiscated them, but also pointed and said, "The quality of this tourmaline is too poor. It's not even good enough to be used to make shoes for this county lady."
You know, although he is stingy at first, he is not stingy towards his own people.
And the tribute that can be sent to the East Palace warehouse is definitely of poor quality.
The person who gave the gift walked away with a gloomy face.
Someone offered a handsome man as bribe, and Xin'er pointed and said, "He's not even as pretty as this county lady. Who's taking advantage of whom?"
Send the person back.
In fact, objectively speaking, those handsome men are more handsome than her, but Xin'er is very proud and holds her head high. She just thinks that no one is worthy of her. Is that not okay?
The person who was seeing him off looked at the handsome man who looked like Pan An, and the princess who could only be described as having a noble temperament and a pretty appearance, and fell into silence.
But they came to please her, and they didn't dare to point at her nose and say, "That handsome guy is much better looking than you..."
Someone got anxious and threatened her, but Xin'er responded with a warning of a house raiding.
Now there is absolutely no way out.
Some people racked their brains and tried to find out.
Among them, someone really found out about Xin'er's past. It was no secret that the prince recognized Master Fu's daughter as his sister and conferred her the title of county princess on her.
The man then found out some of the past events and based on this clue, found Xin'er's biological father.
He Gen was in prison at the time, but luckily he escaped the massacre and survived in fear.
Of course, his newly married wife was gone, and the family’s land and property had long been awarded to A Yu. Even if she passed away, it was impossible to return it to her ex-husband who had already divorced her.
After He Gen was released, he lived in poverty and loneliness for eight years.
