After entering the book, I emptied the warehouse of my foster mother's house to farm

The accountant saw that the person who raised doubts was Xie Mingyuan, so he bowed to him again and said, "Your Excellency, there is a shortage of twelve or three million taels."

One thousand taels less?

How could there be one thousand taels less?

"impossible!"

Xie Mingyuan couldn't believe it no matter what. How could there be less?

After the Zhao family sent the silver, he ordered people to carry it to the front yard to count it, and then he did not leave for a moment before the imperial envoy arrived.

In other words, it was impossible for anyone to take the silver.

"Sir, you must have counted wrong."

Xu Xing still had no expression. The amount was huge and the time was tight, so it was normal to make mistakes in the calculation.

"Then count it again."

After receiving the order from the imperial envoy, the people who had just counted the silver began to review the count again.

This time, they slowed down a little bit for greater accuracy.

Jiang Hao held the silver note with a face value of one thousand taels. Although she couldn't see anything clearly in the dark, she still felt that it looked beautiful no matter how she looked at it.

Time passed and the night grew colder.

Zhuifeng went out of nowhere and brought Xu Xing a pot of hot wine. He lowered his voice and said, "Prince, have a drink to warm yourself up."

Qingchuan County is bitterly cold at night, and they have truly experienced this during their time here.

"Take it away."

Zhang Zhongjing glared at him and said, "Don't cause trouble for the prince."

Uh...isn't he worried that the prince will catch a cold?

Xie Mingyuan was concentrating on staring at the people who were counting the silver. He was so nervous that he just stood next to Xu Xing and didn't pay attention to what they were saying.

Can not be less!

It can’t be less!

All the valuable things in the mansion were pawned, and all the silver that could be collected was used up, leaving not a single extra penny.

If one thousand taels of silver were really missing, his life would be at stake!

"Did they count wrong?"

When Xie Mingyuan saw the accountant coming to report, he couldn't wait to ask.

The accountant ignored him and said to Xu Xing, "Your Excellency, we are still short of 120 to 130 million taels."

Xie Mingyuan's eyes suddenly widened and his legs went limp. He hurriedly took the details from the accountant's hand and examined them carefully.

impossible!

"Thank you, sir."

Xu Xing finally spoke: "It's past midnight."

"Sir, you must have counted wrong."

Xie Mingyuan wanted to struggle, but Xu Xing didn't listen to his nonsense and gave a concise order: "Arrest him."

"Yes!"

Jing Lei and Zhui Feng stepped forward: "Thank you, sir. Please come in."

"Sir, is it okay for the Zhao family to offer 1,499,000 taels?"

Xie Mingyuan regretted it deeply. Why did he let the messenger talk too much about the amount of the Zhao family's tribute?

However, as long as Xu Xing is willing to nod, it’s not a big deal.

Xu Xing heard this, but just looked at him: "What do you think?"

Xie Mingyuan stared at Xu Xing blankly, his eyes suddenly turned red.

Prince of Weiguo, you must kill him!

In the middle of the night, the entire Xie Mansion was ablaze with flames and filled with the howling of ghosts and wolves.

From now on, Xu Xing will no longer need to supervise here personally.

After leaving the gate of Xie Mansion, Xu Xing said to the silent night sky: "Miss Jiang, come out."

Zhang Zhongjing was stunned when he heard this: "My Lord, Miss Jiang is here so late at night..." She must have gone to bed early.

Before he could say yes, Jiang Hao walked out from the darkness.

"How did the prince know I was here?"

Xu Xing said nothing. After inviting Jiang Hao to get on the carriage, he also got in. Then he said, "Xie Mingyuan swore solemnly that the silver could not be missing. But if the silver is really missing, then it can only be tampered with. In the whole Qingchuan County, I can't think of anyone else who is capable and hates this family, except the girl."
