The work of auditing the accounts is very boring and boring, looking at the careful and serious appearance of several bookkeepers, at the beginning, the dozens of stewards and elders around were still able to maintain patience, but as time went by, most of them gradually became yawning.

Xia Fan kept smiling, turning his head from time to time and whispering a few words to Ye still beside him.

Such a confident appearance made Xia Junkai's doubts deeper.

Although he believed in Li Mingda's method of doing accounts, he knew that a simple audit would definitely not find any problems, and these bookkeepers were all his people, even if there were really some omissions, there was no need to worry about it at all.

But I don't know why, Xia Fan's abnormal performance made him always a little uneasy.

This kind of restlessness is likely to come from the premise that his preparation for this matter is not very sufficient.

So to put it bluntly, he didn't really have absolute certainty to completely nail Xia Fan in this matter......

All the grasps were actually completely based on his previous impression of Xia Fan...... That is, it is based on Xia Fan's own unreliability!

Now it seems that this may not be a good decision, Xia Junkai thought.

After a long time, the whole process of auditing was finally over.

When Li Mingda said that there was no deletion or alteration of the accounts, and several account gentlemen also indicated that there was no problem with the contents of the accounts, Xia Wuxing suddenly felt that the depressed breath in his heart suddenly became much more relaxed.

The heart was furious, and his face continued to maintain the basic majesty, which made Xia Wuxing's folds on his old face all tangled together.

"Xia Fan! Now you have nothing to say! Conclusive! There is nothing wrong with the accounts of the Hundred Beasts! The huge expenses of nearly 40,000 taels of silver have all been wasted and ruined by you! And instead of self-reflection on the mistakes you have made, you actually want to blame others for this huge amount of money! Everyone present should know what kind of impact this behavior will have on the family, and I think there is no need for a show of hands to vote, right? ”

Xia Wuxing said as he looked around the entire courtyard, his waist was straight, and the whole person was very refreshed and continued: "Xia Fan must be severely punished!" If he is allowed to continue to act recklessly like this, sooner or later, our Xia family will be destroyed in his hands! Li Mingda, don't worry, the family will definitely give you justice! It will never chill the hearts of those of you who have done your best for your family! ”

Listening to Xia Wuxing's summary speech, Xia Junkai had always been a little hanging, so he let go slightly.

This was the first time in his life that he had discovered that Xia Fan could bring him so much pressure.

However, before he could exhale, Xia Fan opened his mouth calmly again.

"Great Elder, you should at least give me a chance to speak before I make a judgment, right? You have a distinctly emotional bias in this matter from the very beginning, and I doubt that you are really as fair as you say you are? You have been making up accusations against me all along, hoping to set the end of this matter, and I don't understand why? “

Xia Fan's tone was full of sarcasm.

Xia Junkai's mind that he had just put down lifted it again.

Xia Wuxing really didn't expect that under such a situation of conclusive evidence, Xia Fan would dare to be so arrogant, and the anger that had just gone down for a while was full of anger again, but with so many lessons from the past, Xia Wuxing did not directly reprimand.

just looked at Xia Fan coldly, and said in a calm tone: "The facts are there!" What else do you want to quibble? Xia Fan, you have repeatedly challenged my authority as the Great Elder of the Council of Elders, and such disrespect for the elders will not do you any good, it will only increase the family's punishment of you! ”

"Great Elder, I'm just stating the facts."

Xia Fan spread his hands, and immediately stopped paying attention to Xia Wuxing, but turned his head to look at the bookkeepers, and asked with a smile: "Several, are you sure that there is really no problem with these account books?" ”

Several bookkeepers subconsciously glanced at each other, and then shook their heads in unison.

One of them seemed to be the leader of several account rooms, and after Xia Fan owed a debt, he said with a displeased look on his face: "Second Young Master, we have checked all the accounts and made sure that there is no problem, if the Second Young Master doesn't believe it, you can check it yourself." ”

"Xia Fan, don't mess around here anymore, the Xia family's face will be lost to you, this matter will end here, all the elders will go back to the house with me and discuss the specific punishment measures for Xia Fan! As the son of the head of the family, you should be even more strict! ”

Xia Wudaunt obviously didn't intend to give Xia Fan another chance to entangle, so he said categorically.

"This can't be done, Great Elder, there are some things that I haven't taken out yet, and it is not justifiable to think that I will be punished for such an unknown crime."

Xia Fan said as he stretched out his hand towards the Blood River.

Xuehe immediately took out a few more ledgers from his arms, as well as a piece of rice paper that looked full of words.

Xia Fan didn't pick up the account books, but just took the rice paper, held it flat in front of him, and squinted his eyes slightly.

I don't know why, seeing Xia Fan take the piece of rice paper, Xia Junkai's heartbeat slowed down by half a beat for no reason, and he instinctively wanted to stop Xia Fan's next move.

However, before he could make any moves, Xia Fan had already opened his mouth and read: "In the autumn of 739 in the Great Qianli calendar, En...... That is, last year, the Xia family bought the fighting dog blue-eyed general in the slave beast house, and spent a total of 135 taels of silver. Trader, Li Mingda, the manager of the Xia family. ”

Thinking of this, Xia Fan looked up at Li Mingda, whose face had suddenly changed because of what he said, squinted his eyes and smiled: "Of course, the amount shown in the account book of this transaction in the Hundred Beast Garden is one thousand three hundred and fifty taels. ”

After speaking, ignoring Li Mingda and Xia Junkai's equally ugly faces, Xia Fan continued to read: "In the summer of 739 in the Great Qianli calendar, the Xia family bought a number of crickets and cicadas nightingales in the Imperial Beast Workshop, spending a total of 2227 yuan in silver, and the trader, Li Mingda, the manager of the Xia family. Similarly, this transaction was again counted tenfold in the ledger of the Hundred Beasts Garden, reaching two hundred and twenty-seven taels. ”

Listening to the content of the rice paper recited by Xia Fan, most of the stewards in the courtyard showed a look of astonishment.

Li Mingda's face was pale, and if he looked closely, he could still find that his body was trembling slightly at this time.

Xia Junkai's heart had sunk to the bottom, and he finally knew why he had been restless before.

This matter was indeed handled in too haste, so that there were too many loopholes, but Xia Junkai didn't think that Xia Fan would be able to take advantage of these loopholes before, he just thought about this matter relatively simply according to his previous practice.

But he didn't expect that Xia Fan would have a strange peak!

"In the summer of 738 in the Great Qianli calendar, the Xia family bought the fighting dog black dragon and the fighting dog fierce bear in the house of beasts, spending a total of sixty-eight taels of silver, and the trader, Li Mingda, the manager of the Xia family, of course, this transaction is still ten times that in the account book of the Hundred Beast Garden, it reached six hundred and sixty-eight taels."

At the same time that Xia Junkai was full of regret, Xia Fan had already finished reading the content of another transaction, and at the same time he no longer continued to read, but stepped forward and handed the rice paper in his hand to the nearest steward.

After the steward took the rice paper, Xia Fan looked around at everyone in the entire courtyard, and continued loudly: "The account book that Xuehe is holding in his arms is borrowed from several colosseum shops in the city, and all the transactions that our Xia family has had with those colosseum shops are clearly recorded in the account book, and it is very interesting that the accounts recorded in these account books are very different from the accounts of the Hundred Beast Garden sorted out by Li Mingda in terms of amount!" That's why I asked for a review of the accounts of the Hundred Beasts Garden, and unfortunately, the few accounting offices in charge of the review are very sure that there is no problem with the accounts of the Hundred Beasts Garden! I think there are several account offices and Li Mingda...... Should you explain something about this? ”
