The most difficult female boss in history

Chapter 314
Xiao Mingzhu said: "Uncle Zhong, bring the account book from the mansion."

Uncle Zhong quickly brought the account book, but the patriarch dared not accept it.

Xiao Mingzhu leaned on Nanny Shang, pretending to be powerless: "Nurse Shang, tell me."

Well, she's not good at things like settling accounts.

Nanny Shang asked Jin Zhixia to take care of Xiao Mingzhu, then took the account book from Uncle Zhong, and at the same time took out several house deeds and land deeds to Master Geng, saying: "As far as this old slave knows, the elder house and the second house were divided. The property deeds, land deeds, and money obtained from the family cannot be faked, and they are all well-documented. Lord Geng checks to see if there is anything missing. If the patriarch and Lord Hou have any questions, feel free to ask them."

Mr. Geng flipped through the account book, then looked at the house deeds and land deeds in his hand, and was stunned.

General Zhu glanced over his head, understood in seconds, and almost didn't laugh.

Military generals are different from civilian officials. Civil servants have real power in their hands, and it is easy to make profits from it. Military generals have to worry about eating nothing in the prosperous and peaceful world.

Xiao Huaien has guarded Xin'an for so many years, killing people and setting fire to the gold belt, no one would believe that he didn't save some property.However, if Xiao Huaien hadn't turned these properties into houses, shops or fields on the surface, no matter how clear everyone was, they would never be able to find out.

What Xiao Mingzhu handed over now was just the share that the eldest brother got when the two families separated.

The two old houses in remote corners and the land of a hundred acres of mountain depressions probably earn less than five or sixty taels a year, and the clan took the dozens of taels of annual income with great fanfare, and had to support the expenses of the entire General's Mansion. Tsk tsk tsk... It's a big loss!
Mr. Geng took the list of the separation of the two households back then, and gave it to Guangyang Hou meaningfully: "Master Hou, please order some too."

The Marquis of Guangyang was not willing to take the potato from Tangshou, so he immediately handed it over to the patriarch.

The patriarch glanced at it and was angry: "How is this possible? With this kind of income, you can afford these things?" He pointed to the paintings on the wall of the hall. Every decoration in the hall showed low-key luxurious.

Xiao Mingzhu said: "Could it be that the clan is going to take this mansion, or is it going to move all the furnishings from this mansion?"

Hehe, the properties that my father secretly set aside have all belonged to her name long ago, and Mr. Qian is scrutinizing them, and no one can take them away.

"How is this possible." Lord Geng also said: "This general's mansion was given by the emperor, and it is not considered the general's private property! The decorations in this mansion may have been your mother's dowry many times. When Mrs. Lin married General Xiao , but ten miles of red makeup, how could they covet Mrs. Lin's dowry?"

The patriarch was completely enraged by their slaps in the face, he stood up abruptly, and shouted: "Don't think that the old man doesn't know, he, Xiao Huaien, has been in Xin'an all these years, I'm afraid he has made money from his own waist..."

"Slander! How dare you slander the general for taking time off?" The general who had been silent all this time clenched his fists and shouted angrily, his eyes widened. If the patriarch dared to nod, he dared to rush forward and twist his head.

The patriarch trembled in fright, and quickly said, "I didn't mean that."

Nanny Shang glanced at the general approvingly, and said: "The general didn't buy any property in Xin'an, and the total annual salary plus reward is only 800 taels, half of which is used for the expenses of the general and the girl in Xin'an, and the other half is given to the old lady. The shortcomings are supplemented by the income from the old lady and the lady's dowry, which are all in the ledger, and the patriarch can check it."

The patriarch moved his lips, not daring to say any more.

Uncle Zhong brought pen and ink with keen eyesight, Master Geng wrote a document with a pen, and then signed it with a pen. General Zhu also wrote it, and then handed the document to the Marquis of Guangyang and the patriarch: "Sign it."

The patriarch looked at the document and was unwilling to accept it.

"Eunuch Cheng is here." A doorkeeper woman hurriedly ran into the hall to announce the news. Before everyone could react, Eunuch Cheng walked in with a smile.

Xiao Mingzhu was happy. The emperor must have sent Eunuch Cheng to support her.

Except for Mr. Geng and General Zhu, the others also had a thump in their hearts. The emperor's attitude made it clear that he wanted to make decisions for Xiao Mingzhu.

Eunuch Cheng nodded at Xiao Mingzhu and smiled, "Miss Xiao."

"Eunuch Cheng." Xiao Mingzhu wanted to bow, but Eunuch Cheng stopped him with a smile, "Miss Xiao, you are welcome, the emperor has ordered that Xin'an should not relax the search for General Xiao. Please don't worry, girl."

Well, Your Majesty, this is a final word!

Now whoever dares to say that Xiao Huai'en is dead will have to produce real evidence.

If the people in the clan don't understand the current situation by this time, they are really stupid.

"Please help me, Eunuch, to thank the Emperor." With the support of Madam Shang, Xiao Mingzhu stood up, and wanted to salute to the palace, but Eunuch Cheng stopped her in a hurry: "The Emperor has something to say, Miss Xiao is not in good health, so I won't let you down." Go to these courtesies."

Xiao Mingzhu sat back in his seat. Eunuch Cheng glanced at the document in Mr. Geng's hand, frowned, and said, "It turns out that our family is here, why don't you also get a personal certificate for Miss Xiao?" He took the document from Mr. Geng's hand. With a pen, he signed his name on the document and handed it to Guangyanghou.

Guangyang Hou immediately picked up a pen and signed his name, but he cunningly signed in the row of witnesses and directly handed the hot potato into the hands of the clan leader.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the patriarch had no choice but to sign with a pen.

Xiao Mingzhu nodded with satisfaction: "In the future, the mansion will not ask for more silver taels from the clan, but follow the rules of the clan, and send us as much as we should, and I will never go to the clan if there is less. I want it. However, the family has to bear the responsibility for the family’s favors.”

The patriarch's whole body was shaking. Hearing this, he almost gritted his teeth out of breath.According to the rules of the clan, he had to give 80 taels to the long house every year, and the shabby house and land that Xiao Mingzhu gave him definitely didn't earn that much, so he had to fill it in.As for the human relationship in the General's Mansion, it is definitely a bottomless pit!
"You, you..." He pointed at Xiao Mingzhu and wanted to scold, but his son pulled his sleeve.

Looking at Guangyang Hou who was trying his best to talk to Mr. Geng, and the clan elders who bowed their heads silently, they seemed to be in collusion and regarded them as air.

He understood in seconds!

The emperor sent Eunuch Cheng here specially, and said those words, no matter what the purpose was, the emperor now wants to protect the general's mansion to the end.

Therefore, those old guys made it clear that they didn't want to embarrass Xiao Mingzhu, and wanted to push all the faults on him.Anyway, he is the patriarch, and he will be the one who will take care of those worthless properties in the future, and he will also be the one who pays the money, which has nothing to do with them.

Okay, really good, every abacus is better than him!

The patriarch stood up with a gloomy face: "Then the matter is settled like this."

Isn't it just tens of taels of silver a year, he can afford it.

What's more, if it is done well, the money will be worth it.

In the end, the Xiao family members did not get any benefits, and a group of people left the general's mansion on guard against each other.
