Chapter 38 Countermeasures
"What? Check these books in five days, Commander, you've been fooled!" Mark shouted nervously.
I saw that in the commander's room of the garrison regiment headquarters, there were originally hundreds of square meters of the regiment commander's room, but now one-third of it was occupied by piles of account books, and Mark stood in front of those account books, his eyes were staring at buns.
"Don't shout so loudly, I know it's difficult, and since the people at Dritter have asked me to check the accounts, they must have something to say, and it will be difficult to find out. But I haven't tried it, so how do you know it's impossible? ”
"Commander, don't you know, His Majesty will send someone to check the account books of the Qianliang Academy every quarter, but in the past few years, I can't see any problems. You must know that the people sent by His Majesty are all experts in this field, and even they can't find out, so it's even more impossible for us laymen. ”
Dary walked over in disbelief and pulled out a book to look at. Unfortunately, only five minutes later, Darry felt the urge to sleep.
Quickly shook his head to dispel his sleepiness, and Dari's face was solemn, as if he was not a ledger in his hand, but some terrible enemy.
"It seems...... It's really going to be troublesome this time. ”
"Yes, this is clearly a trap, Commander, let's ask for help from Elena Pavilion Leader, right?"
"No, Elena is purging the guards of dissidents, and she's busier than us, so she doesn't have time to worry about our business. We have to figure out how to do this audit!"
"Huh? That's terrible!"
The two looked at the account books with sad faces, and smiled bitterly. After all, he is still young, and Darui is impulsive in the Golden Palace, and the next work seems to be smashed. That's not all, once the five days are up, he will be facing several murder charges.
"It's really troublesome, am I going to run away this time? I don't care, with the ability of parasitism, as long as I drill into the primeval forest, even if I come to Enhalt, I will not be able to take me. But what about Silky? Do you want her to run away with me?"
Thinking of this, Darry shook his head violently, "No, I must not let Silky live that life, this audit must be done, I must kill those corrupt officials, but what should I do?" ”
Just as Darry was in a hurry, Silky walked in with a food box.
"Dari, it's time to eat, come here, don't patronize your work and forget to eat. ”
"Silky you're here, alas......"
Hearing Dari's sigh, Silly hurriedly interrogated what had happened, and Dari briefly told him about the early dynasty, and finally pointed to the pile of ledgers.
"You see, these ledgers have arrived now, but it is almost impossible to find out in five days. Alas...... This time it was so reckless. ”
Silky took out a ledger and looked at it, although she was a magician and much more educated than Dari, she couldn't understand the ledger full of numbers and items, let alone find out the fake and bad accounts in it.
"Is it true that even the experts sent by His Majesty can't find out?"
Mark nodded, "yes, those experts check the accounts once a quarter, but they can't find anything. ”
"It's a little strange, are these ledgers fake?"
"No way, His Majesty sent an expert, although he can't find out the fault in the account, but the real account can still be seen from the fake account. This time, the warriors of the Golden Palace went to copy the account book, and they followed them, in case the people there deceived us with fake accounts. ”
Silky looked confused, "Could it be that the level of accounting in the Qianliang Institute is super high, and no one in the country can compare with it?"
"Well......" Mark also looked confused.
At this time, Darui's eyes suddenly lit up, "No matter how high the level of the Qianliangyuan is in the accounting, it is impossible to deceive everyone, and besides, so many accounts are not done by one or two people, it is said that the people sent by His Majesty should be able to find out something." ”
"But they really ...... Captain, you mean those experts were also bought!"
"Quite possibly, think about it, if they really find out what is wrong with the money and grain house, what will happen to them?"
Mark thought for a moment, "Well...... Your Majesty should reward them and then ...... They're of little value!"
"That's right, if they can find out those bad debts, it proves that they also have the ability to do bad debts, and they are stronger than these people in the Qianliang Academy, how can Your Majesty reuse them again!
"Yes, if the birds are good and the money and grain courtyard do not fall, they will not lose their jobs for a day, and they will not lose the trust of His Majesty. But if it falls, although it can get temporary benefits, there will be no future. Alas...... It's a really sad relationship. Silky said with emotion.
"I don't care what kind of good bow he has or not, now I think of how to check the accounts, hehe......"
"Commander, do you want to ask those experts for help......?
"Invite them, they can even disobey His Majesty's orders, let alone me. Please let them see it myself, hehe, I think of a trick that is even more ruthless, make sure that the prime minister and those people swallow the bitter fruit they planted!"
Just as Dary's side took action, the second prince, Lanard, returned home in despair. Emperor Shengqi's words were still dangling in his ears, he was not allowed to leave the imperial capital, he was not allowed to have dealings with any officials in the court, and he lived the rest of his life honestly.
This is tantamount to putting him under house arrest, leaving only the title of a prince, but no power at all. Now he may not even be as good as some small nobles, and he can only eat and wait for death in the future.
Back at home, Lannard locked himself in the living room, leaving no one to disturb him. And he himself sat in his chair, dazed, not knowing what he was going to do in the future.
At that moment, footsteps sounded in his ears, and Lannard looked up blankly, and saw that it was his butler.
"Who let you in, didn't you hear my orders?"
The pent-up anger erupted, and Lannard jerked to his feet, reaching out and pointing at the butler's nose and shouting.
But in the face of his angry shouting, the butler did not panic, but smiled.
"Your Royal Highness, in fact, you don't need to be so pessimistic, you are the prince, and your majesty is a biological father-son relationship, there is no father in this world who does not want his son to become a talent. As long as you can do something that your majesty will be proud of, everything you have lost will be returned. ”
"You mean ......"
Lannard grabbed the butler's shoulder, looked at him excitedly, and then thought of something again, and suddenly deflated.
"But now that my father doesn't let me have contact with any officials, how can I do something that makes him proud?"
"Your Highness, have you forgotten the Skylark?"
"Skylark, what's the use of it? Do you want me to learn from Dary Gaia and use white clouds to transport Jinhua fish to the sea?"
"What kind of thing can only get the benefit of money, and it can't touch Your Majesty's heart. His Majesty cares about the power that is enough to influence the world, and the eighth-level Great Demon Beast has that kind of power. ”
Lannard's heart moved, "You mean, let me train Baiyun so that it can grow to the eighth level as soon as possible?" But this is easy to say, and it is ...... to do."
"Your Highness, it doesn't have to be level eight, if you think about the battle between the Holy Heaven and the orcs, Darigaia only got back four fire-breathing lizards and won the war. If you can train a sixth-level Skylark, then Your Majesty will definitely look at you differently and have confidence in you again. Besides, your eldest brother is weak and sickly, Your Majesty is a good son to you, as long as Your Majesty has faith in you, you will get everything!"
"Yes, you have a point. My eldest brother's short-lived ghost won't live for a few years, and my younger sister is a daughter, and my father will not pass the throne to her or her children until the last moment. Okay, I'm going to get the Wanmu Crystal and improve Baiyun's strength! At that time, I'm going to get back everything I've lost!Hahahaha......"
Outside the garrison, Darui rushed out with ten fire cavalry and headed towards the center of the imperial capital, as if there was something in a hurry.
Just as they had turned the corner, ready to pick up speed, a maroon horse rushed towards them. Da Ruining saw that it was actually a Smoke Cloud Beast, needless to say, the one sitting on it must be Princess Langlier.
"Dari, what are you doing? I was trying to find you. ”
"Your Royal Highness Princess, I have something very important today, I'm afraid I can't accompany you, I'm sorry. "With that, he walked around Langlier.
"Oh, I'm not here to play with you, I heard that you made a bet with the prime minister on the Golden Palace today to find out the accounts of the Qianliangyuan within five days?"
The Smoke Cloud Beast and the Thunder Beast ran side by side, Langliel looked at Darry with a curious expression, seeing that she was determined to follow this posture, Darry had no choice but to let her follow.
"Is that what happened, princess? Do you think I can win against that fellow Dritter?"
"Well...... If someone else goes to investigate the Qianliang Academy, don't say that it is only five days, even fifty days may not be able to find out anything. But if it's you, hehe......"
"What are you laughing at? What if I go? Do you think I'll be able to do it if I go?"
"That's right, I just think you can, although we haven't known each other for a long time, but you give me the feeling that you can do anything, and anything can be solved in your hands, and this time will definitely be no exception!"
Darry gave Langlier a deep look, he didn't expect her to say such a thing, could she ...... Quickly shaking his head and shaking off the thoughts of being sorry for Silky, the expression on Darry's face was serious.
"I'm afraid it's not that simple this time, although I already have a way to deal with those moths in the Qianliang Academy, but whether I can succeed is only a matter of five or five, and I am not sure. Princess, don't expect too much!"
Between chatting, the team of twelve people ran forward quickly, and the streets of the imperial capital were crowded, and it was impossible to run horses. But the street they walked on was very special, the more they walked towards the center of the imperial capital, the fewer and fewer pedestrians on the street. Langlier looked around curiously, realizing that he had never been here before.
"Darry, where are you going? I don't think I've ever walked down this street. ”
"Hehe, you didn't walk over, Your Majesty can't let you come here. Darry said with a mysterious smile.
"Oh, what kind of place is this, so mysterious. Tell me about it. ”
"Don't worry, you'll understand everything when you get to your destination in a while, it's too boring to say it now. ”
"Well, I'll just wait a moment and see what the hell this place is, so mysterious. ”
The horses of the team are not ordinary goods, and the speed is amazingly high after running, and the distance of more than ten miles is a few minutes. When the tall gate directly in front of her came into Langlier's sight, she finally knew what this place was.
"It's here, I said, I've never been here. But Dary, this is a place where the Empire's felons are suppressed, what are you doing here? Is there a way to help you find out the accounts of the Money and Grain Academy?"
Darui smiled mysteriously, and the guards of the Heavenly Prison showed their ID documents and flashed their war-sword blades. Then one of the guards led the way, and Darry followed him with men.
"Princess, you're really right, whether I can completely investigate the bad debts of the Qianliang Courtyard depends on here. Hehe, the prime minister and those people must not have thought of this method, I can imagine the stunned expressions on their faces after hearing the news! ”
Langliel still couldn't scratch his head, but he still followed Darry and walked in.
The prison guards called the person in charge of the place, the so-called prison warden, to receive Darry in person.
"Captain Darui, here is the person in charge of Tusi, I have heard your request from my subordinates, please come with me. ”
"Okay, I'm sorry for you. ”
"Where, it's my pleasure to serve you, inside please. ”
Again, like last time, Langlier did not identify himself, but acted as a small soldier of Darry, following him.
This place is different from ordinary prisons, and the people who are locked up here are all people who have status, but have committed serious crimes. Such people cannot be killed for some reason, so they are locked up here, and most of them will never have a bright day, and will die here of old age.
Compared to the average prison, the environment here is better, although it is also very dark and the smell is not very good. But at least it was not very damp, and each cell was supplemented with clean pasture, and the prisoners inside were neatly dressed, at least better than the beggars on the street.
Seeing Dari's people, there was a hint of anger in the godless eyes of the prisoners inside. But when they saw Darry and they were just passing by, instead of stopping in front of their cell door, their eyes, which had just had a hint of life, dimmed again, and turned into like soulless walking corpses again.
