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 a chicken to scare the monkey, the Qin family ran directly into the muzzle of the gun, and Bei Jingchu had no intention of holding back.
The fate of their family shocked 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 use soft means.
They found a very famous accountant and invited him to come after many invitations.
Faced with the risk of property confiscation, Master Xuanbo was still a little worried.
The accountant was unhappy, as this was a sign of doubt about his ability.
He said with a stern face, "Don't worry, my uncle, the fake accounts I made will leave no trace."
Master Xuanbo hesitated: "But the Ministry of Revenue is full of talented people. If the accounts are fake, how could no one see it?"
This gentleman may not have been caught, but he is very skilled and bold. He said arrogantly: "I have lived to such an old age and have been a fraud 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 excellent in many aspects, but I have never delved into poetry, music, literature, history and classics. My whole life has been buried in the 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 Master Xuanbo nor Mr. Accounting had any children to prepare 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 Master Xuanbo to come over and whisper something in his ear.
Master Xuanbo’s eyes widened.
"You were the one who paid for that family's bill!"
The servant embezzled his master's money, and now the 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 several times they found nothing and 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."
Master Xuanbo was convinced and felt relieved. Seeing that the gentleman was in a bad mood, he quickly put on a smile.
This person is the current God of Wealth in their family. Whether they can minimize the loss of property 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 he found out their flaws.
As a result, the next day, Xuanbo's family became part of the property-raiding team.
He went to settle the accounts with the confident accountant, but the other party was grabbed by the collar and was hit so hard that he doubted his life.
"When did the Ministry of Revenue become so capable and effective? I have been hiding this from you before..."
The original capital was renamed Anzhou. When Bei Jingchu became regent, he was stationed in Anzhou and could not leave, so the local nobles 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, there is a kind of "if I can't die from working, I will work until I die" mentality.
Overtime work has become a trend in Texas, and everyone misses 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 them, "Cheer up, everyone! Once we're done, we can go back to Anzhou and continue to enjoy our leisurely days! His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will definitely reward us!"
The skill of painting cakes gradually became more sophisticated.
While counting and harvesting the land that should have been handed over to the court, the wealthy families in Dezhou also used various means like those in Anzhou to try to fight back.
Many people tried to inquire about Xin'er's preferences, hoping to bribe the popular people around the prince to let their family go.
Someone brought precious treasures, 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 make shoes for this county lord."
You know, when you first come back, you dig the dice, but you don't dig the dice for your own people.
And among the tributes that could be delivered to the East Palace warehouse, it was impossible to find inferior ones.
The person who gave the gift walked away with a gloomy face.
Someone bribed a handsome man, and Xin'er pointed and said, "He is not as good-looking as this county lord. Who is taking advantage of whom?"
Send the person back.
Actually, objectively speaking, those handsome men are more beautiful than her, but Xin'er holds her head high and is very proud. She just feels that no one is worthy of her. Is that okay?
The person who was sending the message 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 face, and fell into silence.
But they are here to please people, and they don'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 search.
This time, there is absolutely no way out.
Some people racked their brains and tried various methods to find out.
Among them, someone really found out about Xin'er's past. It was no secret that the prince recognized Fu Mu's daughter as his sister and conferred her the title of county lord.
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 fortunately he escaped the massacre and survived in fear.
Of course, his newly married wife was gone, and the land and property at home had long been awarded to A Yu. Even if she passed away, it would be impossible to return it to an ex-husband who had already divorced her.
After He Gen was released, he lived in poverty and loneliness for eight years.
(Today's update qaq, Youbao said I was on strike, no, I just had a difficult birth.)
