Chapter 53

Shen Lang said, "Old Master, one night is short, but it might not be enough. We need to make the most of every moment. You have a certain understanding of these accounts, so please pick out the key account books for me. I will calculate them as fast as I can. "

There were thousands of account books here, and Shen Lang could not check every one of them. He could only find the key account books to check and calculate.

"Even the crucial account books have dozens of them." Old Master Lin said, "Young Master, even if you read through them once, it will take a few days and nights. There are less than ten hours until daybreak …"

What he meant was that there were dozens of account books in just ten hours. Even a god could not calculate them all.

Shen Lang smiled. "How would you know if you don't try? Let's get to work!"

Old Master Lin said, "I really can't believe you can do it, but I am willing to go crazy with you. If Young Master is really able to uncover that big worm, Xu Wenzhao, then it wouldn't be as simple as striking a blow to a dissident. Instead, it would be a great merit for our Earl's Mansion, and it would save the Kim Clan from a huge loss.

Next, Old Master Lin picked out the key account books from the mountain of account books.

It was the kind of account books that involved the money in and out of an entire year or a quarter.

After all, he had been in the Count House for decades. He only needed to flip through a few pages to know which account books were key.

He did not even need to flip through the pages. Just from the name of the account book, the table of contents, and even the thickness of the paper, he could determine the key account books.

As he worked, Old Master Lin sighed.

"To the servants, the Count is the best master, but he is not a hero. He is too magnanimous, too merciful, and too soft-hearted."

"Especially with the new policy in full swing, the Count feels that the stability and unity of the people are the most important. So even if there are people with dirty hands, he will turn a blind eye.

"That is right, but it also gives some people space to fill their pockets. There is a limit to everything, and Xu Wenzhao has exceeded that limit. I grew up in the Count House, and I am the adopted son of the old Count. The Count House is my home. I will not allow any maggot to empty the century-old foundation of the Kim family. "

Old Master Lin's words were not false at all.

Xu Wenzhao had purchased a large amount of property and farmland outside, but Old Master Lin hadn't even purchased a single tile.

The family ate and lived in the Count House.

Old Master Lin spoke as he worked.

Soon, he picked out one key account book after another and placed them on the table in front of Shen Lang.

Shen Lang opened the account book and quickly flipped through it.

He was no longer just reading. He was taking pictures and scanning them. Then, he would automatically extract the data from the account book and enter it into the form.

Previously, when he was reciting the Kim clan's teachings, Shen Lang wasn't very proficient in using the brain, so it only took him half a minute to read one page.

But now, it only took ten seconds at most to turn a page.

Mister Lin happened to see Shen Lang flipping through the account book so quickly. He was shocked.

With such a fast speed, he probably wouldn't even be able to read a few words, let alone memorize and analyze the relevant data.

Therefore, he didn't dare to have any hope for tonight's audit.

Sigh, I shouldn't have had any hope in the first place, Mister Lin thought to himself.

Even so, he didn't slack off. He carefully picked out one key account book after another from the pile and placed them in front of Shen Lang.

Mister Lin couldn't control whether or not Shen Lang could do his job well, but he had to do his job well.

However, he didn't dare to have any hope in his heart.

After more than five hours.

The Lin father and son placed thirty-five key account books in front of Shen Lang.

"Son-in-law, I've finished what you wanted me to do," Mister Lin said. Mister Lin said, "Although there might be some missing, most of the key accounts are here."

"Thank you, Old Master," Shen Lang said. "It's already late at night. You're old. Go and rest."

Mister Lin said, "Son-in-law, is there anything else you need me to help you with?"

"No," Shen Lang said. "Go and rest now."

Mister Lin watched as Shen Lang flipped through the account books quickly. He wanted to say something, but he didn't say it in the end.

He would do his best and leave the rest to fate!

However, this time, he didn't manage to dig out the big worm, Xu Wenzhao. Mister Lin was not satisfied.

Count was too kind and forgiving. It wasn't that Mister Lin didn't mention this matter, but Mister Count rejected it.

"During special times, the unity of the people is greater than heaven."

"Xu Wenzhao has many shortcomings, but I think he is loyal to the Count House."

These were Count's words. What else could Mister Lin say? There was no proof. If he said anything more, he would be jealous of his colleague and destroy the unity.

Mister Lin had already decided that when he passed away, he would leave a letter in blood for Count.

This amount should be enough for Count to be vigilant and pay attention to it.

"Then, I will leave," Mister Lin said.

He didn't have any hope for Shen Lang's actions tonight.

"Take care, Mister," Shen Lang said.

He continued to flip through the account books, and his speed became faster and faster.

This was because he was becoming more and more adept at using the AI.

Another hour or so passed!

Shen Lang finally finished flipping through the dozens of key account books. He extracted all the data into the AI and made it into a detailed table.

Next, he used the AI to quickly calculate.

He needed to find the flaws in the account books and find out how much the worm, Xu Wenzhao, had embezzled from the Count House over the past twenty years.

Modern accountants were amazing, but they couldn't create flawless falsification of accounts.

Xu Wenzhao, a wild accountant, couldn't do it.

But if he calculated normally, even with an abacus, it would take at least a month or two.

But for the AI, many incomparably complex calculations took only a moment.

As Shen Lang calculated quickly in his mind, he used a pen and paper to draw out a table, clearly listing the calculated data on the table.

This way, even a layman like Count could see the discrepancies in the accounts.

Just like that, one table after another appeared under Shen Lang's pen.

Xu Wenzhao's falsification of accounts had nowhere to hide.

However, when the data was clearly displayed on the paper, Shen Lang was a little shocked.

He knew that Xu Wenzhao would embezzle a lot, but he didn't expect it to be this … much!

…

The sky was just beginning to brighten. The door of the Count House opened. Dozens of people either riding horses or driving carriages came out of the Count House.

These were all normal people coming and going, and it was completely uncontrollable.

One of them rushed to Xu Wenzhao's house as fast as he could.

"Lord Xu, something bad has happened. Shen Lang and Mister Lin suddenly entered the accounting room last night."

"Mister Lin left the accounting room around noon, and Shen Lang hasn't come out yet."

"I'm afraid they want to check the accounts and retaliate against you."

The man panted as he reported.

Xu Wenzhao was stunned at first, then laughed. "The ignorant are fearless. What's there to be afraid of?"

"Check my accounts?" Xu Wenzhao said. "My accounts are flawless, and there have been no problems for more than 20 years. How long does Shen Lang have to check the accounts? Even if you give him ten days to half a month, he won't find anything. "

"Thousands of account books, and it would take him a month to look through them. It's a complete fool's dream to find anything in one night. "Xu Wenzhao said proudly." Besides, he doesn't have time. He'll be finished soon. "

He knew Tian Heng, and he would never speak without thinking.

If he said there was a killer move that could kill Shen Lang in one blow, then there must be.

"Shen Lang, I originally wanted to kill you, but I didn't expect you to take the initiative to come to me." Xu Wenzhao thought to himself. "This is good. I even have a reason to slander you."

He knew Lord Count too well.

He was kind and generous, and he cared about the old man's reputation.

Once Xu Wenzhao appeared in the Count House, in the accounting room, Lord Count would definitely ask Shen Lang to stop checking the accounts and let him leave.

At this time, the State of Yue's new policy was in full swing. What was most important to Lord Count was people's hearts and unity.

Therefore, this time, not only would Shen Lang not find anything, but he would also be rebuffed.

If Xu Wenzhao made a scene again, to appease the people, Lord Count would probably whip Shen Lang.

"Let's go back to the Count House!"

Just in time to burn the fire under Shen Lang's buttocks, and with Tian Heng's help, they would completely destroy Shen Lang.

"You little brat, how dare you provoke me? You're courting death! "

…

After entering the Count House.

Xu Wenzhao's eyes were red, and he knelt in front of Lord Count.

"Lord, you don't believe me?" Xu Wenzhao asked in a sobbing voice.

The Count could not reveal his face and said, "There's no such thing."

Xu Wenzhao said: "When I passed by the accounting room, I found Son-in-law Shen Lang inside. Do you not trust me? Do you want to check my accounts?"

Then, Xu Wenzhao's mouth was like a firecracker.

"Perhaps this lowly one has this and that shortcoming, but towards the Earl and the Kim Clan, I'm loyal and devoted!"

"Over the past twenty-odd years, there has not been a day where I have not worked my heart out and worked my heart out." Xu Wenzhao kowtowed and said: "I am only in my fifties, but my hair and beard are all white."

"Now, just because of a child, you don't trust an old man who has served you for more than twenty years. What is the point of me living?"
