Godsend Field

Chapter 183 Accounts
Tianci's eyes twitched involuntarily, and he murmured, "65...65! Damn it!!"

In the Northwest Province, the monthly tax of the entire Yanhua City and the surrounding nine cities and one hundred villages within 36 miles is only 65 yuan, and [-] purple gold coins a year. In addition to supporting the Northwest Army, it is paid salaries. There is almost nothing left. If it weren't for the discovery of iron ore, the days in the northwest would have been tied to the waistband.And these are just family elders, who actually want to embezzle a whole [-] purple gold coins every month!

"Brother, what's the matter? What 65?" Nero asked suspiciously.

Tianci gritted his teeth, "Nile, you and Si Ni may have made a big mistake in your estimates! You underestimated them!"

"Si Ni and I are just estimating, but the difference will not be too far, at most about [-]!"

"Fifty thousand? You'll know when you see the ledger!" Tianci withdrew his consciousness, "Let's go back!"

"Crack!" The door opened, and Elder Osay came out.

"Elder!" The guards saluted, and Elder De Angie also looked at Elder Orsay.

"Okay, I've finished praying, it's fine! You continue to watch, and you can't be sloppy. Do you hear me?"

"Yes!"

Elder Orsay and Elder De'Ange walked out of the yard in peace and walked towards their residence.

Go back to the study, Elder Orsay and sit down, "De Angie, the ledger is still intact and no one has touched it. These two little kids are just bluffing you. But this is good, at least let us know what they want to do, you go Inform the other elders to make them be more careful recently."

"Yes, fourth brother, I will inform them right away!"

Back in the other courtyard, everyone was waiting for Tianci and Nero in the courtyard.

"My lord, how did you go this time?" Chen Wu asked.

"Hehe, there is still a little harvest!" Tianci said with a smile, "Let's talk in the attic!"

Tianci and Nero were at the forefront, followed by Gauss, Chenwu and Gru.After the five people walked into the attic room and sat down, Tianci asked, "Gauss, do you know if there are any powerful figures in the family staff?"

"Awesome... The few people we met in the competition a few days ago were only at the fifth and sixth levels, and we haven't seen any higher-level ones. But during the baptism, next to the ancestral house It seems that there is someone, although he deliberately pretends, but I can still feel him, he should at least have the level of a great swordsman!"

"Great Sword Master?" All four of them were shocked.

Gauss nodded, "That's right, it's a great swordsman, and I think there should be more than one great swordsman among all the staff. Why do you ask this, young master?"

Tianci took a breath and looked around at the crowd, "Steal the account book!"

"Steal the ledger??"

All four were dumbfounded.

"My lord, do you know where the ledger is?" Chen Wu asked.

Tianci nodded, "They hid the account book in the ancestral hall where we were baptized. If we want to get the account book, we have to go inside the ancestral hall, but the guards of the ancestral hall are very tight, we have to find a way!"

"My lord, are you sure that the ledger is in the ancestral hall?" Chen Wu asked again.

Tianci nodded firmly.

"That's good, as long as you are sure, my lord, why don't we do this... Commander Gao Si and Jin Juwei have left the fief for so long, I am afraid that they have already lost their prestige in the eyes of the guards, so we must establish their prestige, and establish their prestige with blood!"

As night fell in the evening, magic lamps were lit in the elders' courtyard, and guards stood every five meters. In addition to the fixed guards, there were also patrolling guards who patrolled every half an hour.The ancestral hall of several ethnic groups is probably the most heavily guarded in the entire presbytery. There is a personal guard guarding every one meter. The magic lamp at the entrance of the ancestral hall illuminates the appearance of five meters ahead. Chatting at the door.

"House, don't tell me it's weird. After being a bodyguard for so many years, it's the first time I heard that the elders came out to resist the patriarch. You must know that our patriarch is Duke Kate. Are the elders dying?"

"Monte, you haven't been here for a short time, so you don't know. If you're outside, of course it's the Duke, but in this fief, the elders have the final say. Besides, the Duke hasn't been back for 40 to [-] years. The territory is gone, and the clansmen probably have forgotten the appearance of the Duke!" House said.

"Then do you think the young patriarch is still playing?" Monte then asked.

"Is there a show? I can even take a piss than him, hahaha!"

A burst of neat footsteps and armor clashing sounded at the gate of the clan ancestral hall.

"Stop, this is an important place for the ancestral hall, don't break in!" Monte and House pulled out their long swords at the same time and stepped forward to stop them. The rest of the guards were also alert and drew out their long swords one after another.

A tall figure stepped into the magic light.More than 20 people appeared behind him at the same time.

"Master Gauss!...Young master, young master!" Monte and House exclaimed.

Gauss looked at the two of them coldly, "Which organization are you from?"

"Back to Mr. Gauss, we are the third regiment of the Guards Regiment, the third squadron, and I am House, the captain of the fifth squadron!"

"I am Monte, the captain of the sixth team! Today, our two teams are responsible for guarding the clan ancestral hall!"

"I see, you don't have anything to do here, take your team and retreat!" Gauss said.

"This... this..." Monte and House looked at Gauss in embarrassment, "I wonder if Mr. Gauss has the elders' warrants?"

"Hahaha! Hahaha!" Gauss suddenly laughed, and all the bodyguards who laughed were terrified, "When did the elders take charge of the transfer of the bodyguards? Monte, House, what is the fifth rule of the bodyguards?" ?”

"Article [-] of the Regulations of the Guards Corps... Absolutely obey the orders of the small captain, squadron leader, and regiment leader; absolutely obey the orders of the commander, the young patriarch, and the patriarch!"

"Okay, I now order you to evacuate as the commander of the personal guards!"

"This..." House hesitated, "But the elder also confessed during the day..."

"bass!"

A cold light flashed, and behind Gauss was a golden chrysanthemum guard with a long sword in his hand, and the tip of the sword was dripping with blood.

House looked at the tip of the sword in horror, and stretched out his hand to touch his neck, "Pfft!" Hot blood splashed around his neck, and House knelt down with his legs weak, his upper body shook twice and fell to the ground.

"As a personal guard, if you know the law and break the law, if you don't obey the commander's order, you will be punished!" Jin Juwei shouted loudly.

Monte touched the blood splattered on his face, his mind was blank.

"Don't give me back!" Gauss roared.

The rest of the guards didn't dare to say any more, they hurriedly stepped aside, and made way for the road leading to the clan ancestral hall.

"Huh! What a majesty!" Suddenly, a violent shout came, and a warrior in white stood in the middle of the road, holding a long sword in his hands.

Gauss and others stopped, "Who are you?"

"I am Nolan Hall, the staff member of the Kate family, responsible for guarding the family ancestral hall!"

Nero walked to the front, "Since you are our family's staff, now my brother and I are going to enter the family ancestral hall, please get out of the way!"

"You? An outsider, someone who has not been baptized? You are not qualified to enter!" Nolan Hall said disdainfully.

Nero frowned, "What if we insist on entering?"

Nolan Hower sneered at the corner of his mouth, bursting out with vindictive vindictiveness, the lavender vindictiveness, drawing out the long sword, and the dark blue vindictiveness surrounding the long sword, "If you want to go in, first ask me if this sword agrees !"

Threat!

Nero glared at Nolan Hall "Gauss!"

Gauss stood up, "It's been a long time since I killed anyone. Last time I killed two elders in front of the elders' courtyard. Today it seems that I'm going to kill an aide in front of the clan ancestral hall!"

After finishing speaking, Gauss pulled out the long sword from his waist and held the scabbard horizontally in the air. With slight movements of his fingers, he grasped the hilt instantly.

"噗!" The long sword came out of its sheath, and rushed towards Nolan Hower like a golden light, and the scabbard fell straight down.

"Dang!" Nolan Hall blocked Gauss Qianjun's sword, and the scabbard fell to the ground.

"Hmph, do you want to defeat me without fighting spirit?" Nolan Hall sneered, with a sharp push of the long sword, the counterattack was a straight stab.

"Dang! Dang! Dang!..."

In just a few short encounters, both sides attacked and defended several times.Nolan Hall, who has a level [-] grudge, has an extremely sharp attack speed and angle every time. The snarling grudge leaves a series of phantoms in the air, but Gauss blocks them all one by one.

"Hmph, I have long heard that Gauss, the leader of Kate's personal guards, has profound and unpredictable martial arts skills. It is indeed true to see him today! I think I haven't met a real opponent after staying here for several years, good, good!" Nuo Langhauer put away the previous disdain, and his face was unusually dignified, "I will use all my strength next, if you are still a warrior, don't hide it!"

Gauss sneered, "The place here is narrow, and you can't use it. Why don't you go to the backyard and have a showdown?"

"Okay!" Nolan Hall swung his long sword and was about to walk to the backyard.

"Mr. Nolan Hall, no! You want to protect the clan ancestral hall!" At this time, the startled elders ran to the door, and many personal guards also ran from other places.

"I, Nolan Hower, can go wherever I want, and I want to get orders from you old guys?" Nolan Hower saw the elders scolded angrily, and then looked at Gauss, "I'll wait for you in the backyard!"

"Jin Ju Wei listens to the order!" Gauss shouted.

"Yes!" The nineteen Jin Juwei in golden armor replied in unison.

"Removal of armor!"

There was a clanging sound, and the nineteen Golden Juwei quickly took off their upper body armor and put them into the interspatial ring.For ordinary warriors, armor is the best protection.But for warriors with grudges, armor will hinder their grudges to a certain extent, so high-level warriors rarely wear armor.Now that Jin Juwei has removed his armor, he is making the best preparations for battle!

"Jin Juwei listens to the order and protects the young master from entering the clan ancestral hall. Anyone else who comes within five meters will be killed!" After finishing speaking, he ran towards Nolan Hall.

Jin Ju Wei pulled out his long sword, guarded Nile, and walked towards the ancestral hall.

"Nile, this is the family ancestral hall, how can you allow yourself to be presumptuous?" Elder Orsay shouted angrily.

Nero snorted softly, "Why, are you afraid?"

"You..." Elder Orsay pointed at Nero and was too angry to speak.

Under the protection of Jin Juwei, Tianci and Ni Luo came to the gate of the ancestral hall.The door opened, and Tianci and Nero walked into the ancestral hall.

"Zaki, Kula, Madara, take your team to catch me those two unfilial sons and grandchildren!" Elder Osay said angrily.

"Yes!" The three captains rushed forward with [-] personal guards.

. . . . . .

"Nile, the ledger is inside this ring, open it and have a look!" Tianci said.

Nero put the ring on his hand, moved a stack of accounts slightly with his palm, and turned two pages by the light of the magic lamp, "Brother, I don't understand this too, so I'd better go back and show it to Si Ni, I found her Really strong!"

Tianci picked up an account and rolled his eyes, and immediately felt dizzy, "Forget it, I can't understand it either! Fortunately, I brought Xiao Benben here this time, otherwise we brothers will suffer a lot !"

"Okay, now I have the account!" Nero said happily, staring at the other rings, "I don't know what these rings contain!"

"Want to know? Just check it out!" Tianci said with a smile.

Nero took out the remaining six rings and put them on his hands one by one, with an exaggerated expression on his face.

"What are they?"

"Brother, see for yourself!" Nero handed the ring to Tianci, and Tianci froze, his face immediately turned pale.

. . . . . .

Opening the door, a strong smell of blood wafted head-on.The ground was covered with corpses, and the blood on the ground accumulated into rivers. . .A picture of hell on earth.Gauss and nineteen golden chrysanthemum guards stood on both sides of the door expressionlessly, their faces were splashed with blood drops, the faces of the eight elders on the opposite side were pale, and the guards behind them were even more in danger, as if they saw a demon generally.

"Eldest master, young master!" Seeing Tianci and Nero come out, Gauss greeted them with arms.

Tianci nodded, holding a wooden box in his hand.

Seeing the wooden box in Tianci's hand, Elder Orsay seemed to be reassured, pointing at Gauss and yelling, "Gauss, as the head of the Kate family's personal guards, you allow outsiders to break into the family ancestral hall, steal the family accounts, and kill the guards indiscriminately." , what should you do?"

The other elders also seemed to wake up and immediately began to blame Gauss and Nero.

"Gauss knew the law and broke the law. He is not qualified to be a commander. He should be handed over to the judiciary for conviction. And Nero, who brought outsiders into the ancestral hall to steal family property, is not qualified to be a member of the Kate family!"

Tianci walked up to Elder Osai, "Who is qualified and who is not, we will know tomorrow!"

Gao Si led Jinju guards and walked out beside Tianci and Nero. All the guards were frightened by the fight just now. They have been guards for so many years, not to mention the dead, and they seldom even bleed.

"Good! Good! The fifth team, the eighth team, you go and inform all the members of the clan that a family meeting will be held at noon tomorrow. I want to see how you explain to all the clan members!"

"Yes!" The two team leaders left quickly with 200 people under them.

Nero sneered, turned to look at the eight elders, "Okay, then we'll see you at the family meeting!" After speaking, he raised his hand and strode towards his house.

In an instant, Elder Orsay seemed to be frozen in ice, his whole body was stiff, he raised his left hand tremblingly and pointed at Nile, "Ring...ring..."

In front of the garden loft, Chen Wu and Gelug were waiting in battle, Li'er and Qin'er sat aside and chatted, Si Ni hugged Yu'er, and the stewed meat in her hand disappeared piece by piece.

"Gru, do you think they will succeed, my lord?"

"Master Gauss is here, and it's not like you don't know the strength of the Jinjuwei. Now I'm worried whether my lord can really find the account!" Gru sighed.

Chen Wu gave Gru a blank look, "It's because you have been with the lord for the longest time. When did the lord say something that he was not sure about, or did he do something that he was not sure about? As long as the lord is sure about something, there must be something!"

"I hope so!"

There were loud footsteps outside.

"My lord is back?" Chen Wu's eyes lit up, and he was the first to rush to the gate, followed by Gelu and Li'erqin'er.

Walking into the attic, Tianci put the account box on the table, and Nero also took out the account in the ring at the same time.

"Little Benben, the rest is up to you. The one in this wooden box may be fake, but I'm not sure. The one in this ring was obtained from the secret room, and Elder Orsay attaches great importance to it, I think This should be true!" Tianci said.

"It's really cunning to come up with two sets of accounts!" Qin'er said angrily looking at the wooden box and the accounts.

"This is normal. Many nobles in the empire will use this method to evade taxes. The accounts in this box should be clear accounts, which are for inspection officials of the Ministry of Finance of the Empire. The accounts in these rings are Only the real accounts can find out how many purple gold coins they have embezzled!" Si Ni explained.

Everyone nodded, "Si Ni, you really know a lot!"

Si Ni was a little embarrassed, "Mr. Clark taught me!"

"Little Benben, do you know how to make clear accounts?" Qin'er asked seriously.

Si Ni looked at Qin'er in puzzlement, then at Tianci, and finally said honestly, "I will!"

"Hmph! When we go back this time, we will go to the Northwest Province next time. We will go to Yanhua City to check the accounts. I also want to see how many purple gold coins someone has embezzled from your Welsh Empire!"

God sent profuse sweat!

Neither Chen Wu nor Gelu smiled, and Lier even held Qiner's waist, "We never commit corruption in the Northwest!"

Nero helped Si Ni carry the account to a spacious place, and Si Ni began to check the account carefully under the bright magic lamp.

"Young master, although you have not been baptized to become the patriarch, the Duke has given you certain rights. You can check the family accounts for the Duke. If it is found out that the eight elders have embezzled so many purple gold coins , How do you plan to deal with them?" Gauss asked.

Nero thought for a while, and looked at Tianci, who was also a little embarrassed.

"My lord, I suggest you..." Chen Wu's expression was very heavy, "In any case, the eight elders have already separated from you. If you want to have a stable family in the future, you must not keep such divorced people. Elder Sanna is an example. !"

Gauss nodded, "Miss Chenwu is right. Back then, the Duke wanted to solve the family's troubles all at once, but he didn't do it because of some reasons..."

Thinking deeply, Nero stood up and sighed, "Although I am also very angry, they are our grandparents anyway, and they have been in the family for a long time and have relatively great influence. I think this time as long as they I can recognize the mistakes, I will put them a size, but I will slowly replace them in the future!"

"Master..." Gauss suggested.

"Gauss, give them a chance!"
