Chapter 424 I Really Forgot to Keep Accounts
Wendyhan shut up and looked down at his collar.
"If you all assist us well, perhaps we can absolve you of the guilt of defeat. If you continue to be intimidated by the enemy, don't blame me for being ruthless."
Wanyan Wuji spoke very rudely.
As the emperor's younger brother, this is his usual style.
Wanyan Qingtian and the other three hung their heads in silence.
Seeing that they were obedient, Wanyan Wuji nodded with satisfaction.
"This time, I came here with an important mission from the Emperor, which is to bring Nalan back. Can anyone tell me what Nalan's current situation is?"
Wendihan raised his head again and said, "Master Steward, Nalan was captured by Lin Feng and taken to Lingdouzi Castle. His life or death is unknown."
"The Emperor is very fond of this Nalan. How can you allow her to go to the front lines?"
Wanyan Wuji looked at Wanyan Qingtian and asked sternly.
Wanyan Qingtian is innocent. This Nalan was invited by Wendihan with the purpose of attacking and killing Lin Feng.
This matter has nothing to do with him.
"this..."
Wanyan Wuji waved his hand and said, "Let me, the chief steward, figure out a solution to this matter. First, please report the current state of your assets."
Wanyan Qingtian smiled bitterly: "Master General, all the assets of the camp are currently in the account books. Please review them."
“Do you have personal accounts of your assets?”
"Master Steward, it's all clearly stated in the general ledger. I personally don't have any assets."
Wanyan Wuji looked at Wanyan Qingtian and the other two with a half-smile.
"You've been in Zhenxi for many years, haven't you saved any private goods for yourself?"
The three of them shook their heads vigorously: "No, we are all devoted to the Tiezhen royal family and have no selfish motives."
"Really not?"
Wanyan Wuji asked again.
Wanyan Qingtian and the other two looked up at him, their eyes clear.
"Not at all."
Wanyan Wuji smiled with satisfaction: "Good, very good."
The three of them immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Unexpectedly, Wanyan Wuji changed the subject.
"The new Kuro tribe leader, Na Ren, recently submitted a report to my royal brother. It stated that the Kuro tribe raised hundreds of thousands of gold and silver from you to redeem Na Ren and Na Lan. Why is this not recorded in your accounts?"
Wanyan Qingtian and the other two were immediately dumbfounded and unable to answer for a moment.
"Could it be that Na Ren is lying?"
The three of them twisted their stiff necks and looked at each other.
They also didn't expect that Na Ren would stab them in the back.
The three people's treasures, added together, were just over 100,000.
How come hundreds of thousands of people suddenly came?
But there is no way to justify it.
This was a very vicious stab in the back.
Wanyan Qingtian spoke with difficulty, "Uh... Mr. General Manager, this... because things were so rushed, I forgot to record it in the accounts. Please be kind and take note of it."
Wanyan Wuji leaned forward and stared into Wanyan Qingtian's eyes seriously.
"Oh, you forgot to keep the account?"
"Master General, I indeed forgot."
Wanyan Wuji raised his hand and swiped at the account book on the table.
The account book was dragged to the ground in front of Wanyan Qingtian, making a rustling sound.
Wanyan Qingtian shuddered with fear and looked at the account book on the ground in confusion.
"This... this is a false accusation, Master General..."
Wanyan Wuji didn't say anything, but just stared at the expressions of the three people.
Wendyhan's eyes rolled around.
"Master Steward, I have already reminded Deputy Steward Wanyan Qingtian to keep a record of this matter. However, I have been busy welcoming you these days and have neglected it for a moment, so..."
In his words, he emphasized Wanyan Qingtian's position as deputy general manager, hoping that Wanyan Wuzhi would show some mercy.
Wanyan Qingtian also nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, yes, I have been really busy these past two days. The arrival of the General Manager has made us so happy that we have forgotten everything else."
"Hahaha, I'm glad you've waited for me, Chief Steward."
"Hey, I'm so happy, so happy..."
Du Lie and Shi Dun also burst into laughter.
After they laughed for a while, Wanyan Wuji spoke slowly.
"Well, you and the others need to find a way to make up for the shortfall of hundreds of thousands of taels of gold and silver. Otherwise, no one will be able to explain to the emperor."
Bilan was anxious: "Master, this gold and silver was borrowed by the Kuro tribe, and there is an IOU as proof."
"Oh, is this a personal IOU from the Kuro tribe?"
Bilan was stunned.
Indeed, the IOUs issued by the two elders of the Kuro tribe were all written in their own names.
Wanyan Qingtian secretly hated him, you idiot, you didn’t know how to defend yourself just now, and now you are asking for a promissory note.
"Master Steward, I don't have any IOU here. I was just about to record it in the account."
Wendihan also shook his head repeatedly: "Master Steward, I don't have any IOUs."
Bilan was even more dumbfounded.
Bilan looked at the serious expressions of the two men and was speechless for a moment.
He couldn't make another move, and he couldn't say that the IOU was written together.
You will only suffer the consequences of what you say.
Wanyan Wuji sneered, "I spent all the money, but I didn't redeem the person. What will the emperor think?"
Without waiting for anyone to answer, he continued.
"So, these hundreds of thousands of gold and silver treasures will fall on you. As for Lord Nalan, you'd better give this steward a perfect explanation. Otherwise, if the emperor doesn't let me suffer, you will be even more upset."
When Wanyan Qingtian and the other two heard this, they were so upset that they could not even cry.
Not only can he not get his money back immediately, but where can he get back the huge amount of gold and silver?
Not to mention rescuing Nalan.
That's harder than finding gold and silver.
Wanyan Wuji waved his hand and said, "You all should withdraw. Within three days, I will see the specific plan of your actions."
The three men walked out of the central military tent in a daze and staggered around the military camp.
For a moment, I felt that reality was too cruel, and the gold and silver I had lent out were like water spilled.
Who should be blamed?
In the western border town, Qin Fang was transferred to the provincial capital and served as the garrison commander of the provincial capital.
The defense of the border town was handed over to Sun Yang.
Sun Yang has been hiding in the border town and dared not show up.
It was not until Lin Feng captured the city and imprisoned Su Qian that Sun Yang dared to show up in public.
There were still 10,000 defenders in the border town, and Sun Yang was appointed as General Wuwei by Lin Feng.
The geographical location of this place is very important. On the one hand, it faces the threat of the Tatar camp, and on the other hand, it also has to pay attention to the Western Xia.
There were tens of thousands of laborers there, digging a canal to bring water from Hongqing Lake into the west of the town.
Their safety requires the protection of 10,000 troops from the border town.
Lin Feng is stepping up his training to prepare for war.
Lin Feng himself found a house in the craftsman's workshop and filled it with bags of materials.
Those responsible for the fine processing of these materials are led by Xi Niang and Wen Jian, who are Lin Feng's personal bodyguards.
Everyone who came to work changed into cotton clothes and soft-soled cloth shoes.
Dozens of guards stood guard around, not letting anyone get close.
Lin Feng was not afraid of being peeped at, but he was afraid of bringing fire or causing sparks.
Making gunpowder is very dangerous, so don't get your own people wiped out.
