Looking at Claire smiling in the seat, Frank's feet trembled slightly, he was different from those stupid aristocrats, he was deeply able to understand that Claire was not the kind of child she appeared, she was simply a demon in human skin.

If it weren't for that, he wouldn't have offered to invite the assassins to come and kill Claire, because he always felt that as long as Claire was still in the Viscount for a day, he would always fall to the same level as the previous knight captain.

"Frank ......," Claire said softly.

And Frank below hurriedly replied: "Yes! Lord Viscount! ”

As he spoke, he also looked at Claire's side, this time not only the two of them were present, but there was also a new face on the side, the new tax officer-Robin, seeing the other party, Frank's heart was sighing again, he had already known that the other party had taken away all the tax documents of the viscount over the years, and he would definitely find out something, but he didn't expect it to be so fast.

Frank closed his eyes and prayed silently in his heart, if it was impossible to take the initiative to explain now, he could only pray that the other party was a half-person and didn't find out.

Claire chuckled in her heart when she saw the other party's reaction, and continued: "Frank, your family has managed the viscount for our Griffin family for three generations, and you have never paid your taxes late every year. ”

Frank didn't dare answer, knowing that what was going to happen must be something else.

Sure enough, Claire's voice became stern in the next second, and she scolded: "But after I asked the tax officer to check the taxes, I found that the annual tax of the entire viscount over the years has been about 100,000, and the taxes you have paid are only about 10,000 gold coins, where did the more than 90,000 gold coins go!" ”

Frank's body shook with Claire's snort, and he subconsciously opened his mouth to quibble: "Lord Viscount, listen to my explanation, this is a tax set by the first two political officials, and it has nothing to do with me!" ”

"Huh? The first two political officials were your grandfather and father, right, and they have nothing to do with you? Claire laughed.

Frank said without hesitation: "If Lord Viscount wants to arrest them, I am willing to be a witness!" ”

It's just a lot of filial piety!

"Robin, tell him about it." Claire waved her hand.

Robin immediately stood up, flipped through the documents in his hand, and read: "The decree that the wheat is more than seventy centimeters higher and you must pay taxes was issued during your term of office, the birth tax was also issued during your term of office, and the decree that the rite of passage must be taxed was also issued by you......"

Frank's face turned paler and paler the more he listened, and his body began to tremble unconsciously.

Robin continued to mutter, "Your tenure of office is thirteen years, and if you sum it up, you have embezzled a total of 963,780 gold coins from Lord Viscount!" ”

Claire smiled slightly, looked at Frank and asked, "Any objections?" ”

"Not like that, Lord Viscount!" Frank immediately knelt on the ground and crawled forward, and said in fear: "I didn't take this money alone, Baron Eugene also has a share!" I only took a part of it, and I didn't even get 100,000 gold coins. ”

With a flick of Claire's fingers, a gust of wind blew Frank, who was about to crawl over, upside down.

It's a good one who hasn't even reached 100,000, and all of his current property has not even reached 20,000, how can such words come out of your mouth.

Frank, who was blown down, immediately got up and hurriedly apologized to Claire with tears in his eyes, "I'm sorry Lord Viscount, I really know it's wrong, I shouldn't be greedy, I'll return all the money on me!" Please spare me! ”

Claire put her index finger to her lips and said, "Shhh Don't cry, how ugly it is, you're still the administrative officer of the Viscount's Palace. ”

"Good! I don't cry! Frank quickly wiped away his tears.

"If I call you here, I'm sure I'll give you a way to live, otherwise the place where we meet now would be in prison."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Frank nodded in agreement.

"You said you were willing to give me all the money back?" Claire asked, squinting.

"I do!" Frank hurriedly replied, for fear that he would be a step too late.

"How much money do you have now?"

"Thirty thousand gold coins! I'm willing to give it all to you! ”

Claire cursed in her heart,! As a viscount, the money is not as much as the other party's?

"I need you to do one thing for me now, and let you live after I finish it, of course you can't do it."

"No problem! My Lordship, I will do it! "Frank is the kind of man who can even betray his father and grandfather, and as long as he saves his life, what can't he do.

"Okay! I like to talk to smart people like you, only my life is my own, and the rest is not important. ”

"Lord Viscount is right!"

"What I want to do to you is ......"

……

After Frank came out of the Viscount's Mansion, he only felt a chill down his spine, but when he looked back at the Viscount's Mansion, he saw Claire lying on the balcony upstairs waving at him, smiling as if she was greeting an old friend.

Frank quickly squeezed out a smile, and then quickly left the Viscount's Mansion.

After Frank left, Robin, who was following Claire, stopped talking: "Lord Viscount, do you really want to let him go?" ”

Claire smiled slightly: "Guess." ”

Frank didn't even return home, so he hurried back to the room where the nobles had discussed the problem before, and the nobles in it were still there.

"Squeak!" The sound of pushing the door attracted the attention of the nobles inside.

Baron Eugene asked suspiciously, "Frank, why are you back again, your face seems to be a little bad." ”

"Really?" Frank hurriedly touched his arms, and after groping up and down his body several times, he still couldn't find a handkerchief to wipe his sweat, and he looked extremely panicked, and finally a nobleman handed his handkerchief over.

"Thank you." Taking the other party's handkerchief, Frank wiped it on his face in a panic.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" The nobles asked.

"It's okay, it's a little hot outside." Frank walked to his place and lay straight down, and only then did he feel like his true self was back as he buried himself in the soft couch.

As soon as Frank sat down, he said, "I just went to the Viscount's Mansion......"

"Huh?" The attention of the nobles present was immediately attracted.

"Lord Viscount, he agreed that he could send troops out, and asked us to go over tomorrow to discuss it." Frank didn't even notice that he had changed his name for Claire, and he had always referred to Claire as "him" before.

"So you just went out to go to the Viscount's Palace, I thought you were going home," Baron Eugene immediately picked up his glass, "Let's have a toast to the honest and brave Frank!" ”

The rest of the nobles also had smiling faces on their faces, raising their glasses at Frank and cheering.

But Lord Wilber asked, "Didn't he offer anything?" It's impossible to help us send troops for no reason, haven't you always been at odds with him, how could you suddenly go to him, and your face is ...... when you come back"

"Smack!" Frank directly threw the wine glass in his hand to the ground, and the wine splashed on everyone's bodies, he was already fed up with Claire, and his spirit was stretched into a thread, back here You Wilbur still want to come and ask me?!

"You want to ask yourself tomorrow, ask me what am you doing! What conditions he has is his business! I'm just a messenger! ! ”

At this time, Frank was more like a mad patient, stretched out his leg and kicked the wine bottle on the table and smashed it, turned his head and walked out, leaving a word.

"Anyway, that's the way it is, do you like to go or not!"

After Frank left, the nobles present all looked at each other.

"Is he crazy? Dare to do this to us. ”

"Humph! A political official, not even a nobleman, dares to lose his temper in front of us?! ”

"That is, even if his ancestors were all political officials, but his ancestors were not nobles, they could not be nobles in this life, and they were born inferior to us! Don't worry about him, let's discuss first, do you want to go to the Viscount's Mansion tomorrow? ”

Eugene said: "Go! Of course you have to go! Otherwise, how can we recover our goods, it is worth tens of thousands of gold coins! ”

"That makes sense!"
