Chapter 274: Chapter 274: The Master of the Prefecture 6

"This…"

"Father, you don't need to worry about this. I will definitely try my best to learn about this and don't make a tantrum out of it." Huang Bei Yue interrupted Xiao Yuan Cheng's words. That look was as though a sensible, well-mannered, obedient daughter!

Xiao Yuan Cheng had no words to say. In his heart, he was thinking about quickly moving his properties that he had accumulated many years away to someplace else. This girl had just first started to look at the account book. What can she see from this? Housekeeper Zhou wasn't someone to be reckoned with either!

However, Xiao Yuan Cheng's calculations about Huang Bei Yue were inaccurate. If she was someone to hold information against someone else from the account book then she would be too weak!

Huang Bei Yue already let Dong Ling go out and deliver some words, letting the housekeeper Zhou bring over all the account books there were in the prefecture. That housekeeper Zhou was a smart person. He secretly glanced at Concubine Xue and Qin's tragic looks and Xiao Yuan Cheng's helplessness before letting someone grab them.

Normally, when he made the accounts, he was very detailed. After all, he was betting that a twelve-year-old girl wouldn't be able to see anything from this!

The account books weren't here yet but Huang Bei Yue quietly said another couple sentences to Dong Ling. Dong Ling smiled, walking out. No one knew what she wanted to do and no one dared to follow out.

Quickly, housekeeper Zhou had brought the account books over. He personally brought it over, giving it to Huang Bei Yue. There a tall stack of account books, letting people have a headache when they had seen it.

Huang Bei Yue casually flipped over one book, flipping over a couple of pages. Although she hadn't seen the ancient time's account books after all her wisdom was still the rank of a genius. In modern times, for tasks, she had dipped into economics. Therefore, this account book, she looked at it for a couple of seconds and knew what was going on.

This housekeeper Zhou was worthy of being a careful person. On the account book, he had made it so not a single drop of water could leak out, not even a spider's thread could be seen from this.

No wonder Concubine Qin had bought him, making him her trusted aide.

Hehe…

On one hand, she drank tea and on the other hand, she slowly looked through the account book. In the front hall, there were many pairs of eyes staring at her, waiting for her to say something. However, she said nothing as though she was really concentrated in looking through the account book.

Concubine Qin had been soaked in the lotus pond the whole day then got frightened. Now, she was unable to sit down anymore. Her body was rocking and her face was pale white.

Xiao Zhong Qi watched: "Third sister, if you are going to look through the account books then look through them. We will go back first."

Huang Bei Yue raised her head to stare at him, lazily exclaiming: "Elder brother, today we are discussing family matters. In Concubine Qin's hands, she had taken care of many account books as well. She cannot be absent."

Xiao Zhong Qi was about to open his mouth when suddenly, Dong Ling was outside yelling: "Just place it here!"

Everyone was stunned, not sure what had happened. They all turned their heads around to watch, only to see Dong Ling ordering people to carry a couple of huge boxes into the yard.

There were a couple of tens of boxes, all locked with locks. There was no clue as to what was inside the boxes.

Housekeeper Zhou turned his head around to look and suddenly his face changed. He quickly walked out: "You, what are you guys doing? This is my possession. How come you guys are carrying this out?!"

Dong Ling lifted her head, grinning: "We naturally know these are housekeeper Zhou's possessions. If there was nothing that couldn't be seen, is it not okay to open it for everyone to see?"

"No!" Housekeeper Zhou's face was red, angry but also afraid. "These are my personal items. Princess cannot casually just look through my personal items right!"

"Personal items?" Dong Ling raised her eyebrows. She glanced at the tens of boxes: "Houskeeper Zhou's personal items, don't you think it's rather too much? Forgive me for saying something not pleasing to the ears but I heard that within our prefecture's storage, it had always been lacking resources. I have suspicions that someone is stuffing their pockets of the resources. If housekeeper Zhou is open and candid, then take the lead and show everyone what things you have!"


Chapter 275: Chapter 275: The Master of the Prefecture 7

"You, you are speaking nonsense! I didn't stuff my pockets with the resources. How come you guys are searching through my things?" Housekeeper Zhou raised his neck, not letting them search through his things no matter what!

Dong Ling stated: "Whether if there is or not, we will find out once we take a look! Housekeeper Zhou, later on, Princess wants you to take people to search the other rooms. If you are not able to convince the masses, who will let you search them later on?"

Housekeeper Zhou's face was pale white. The cold sweat dripped down and he secretly took a look at Concubine Qin as well as Xiao Yuan Cheng.

Concubine Qin's face was pale white to its extremes. Xiao Yuan Cheng was also infuriated, turning around to Huang Bei Yue: "How come you want to search the rooms all of a sudden?"

This matter, this girl had never mentioned it in the past! It was sudden that they were now unexpected!

Huang Bei Yue laughed in her heart. Of course, she needed to do this suddenly. Otherwise, she will notify them earlier on so that they can be prepared and hide all the items?

"This matter, I had also only thought about it recently. Before, I just remembered so I let Dong Ling to go do it." Huang Bei Yue raised her head, smiling as though nothing happened. There was not a look as though she had plotted this before.

"Housekeeper Zhou's personality, I believe him. He is someone that my mother had left, making him stay. He absolutely wouldn't be stuffing his pockets and colluding with outsiders to harm the prefecture of Princess Zhang."

Xiao Yuan Cheng was silent. The body was faintly trembling. The anger was about to explode!

"Since you believe him then there is no need to search! Housekeeper Zhou is an old man of the prefecture. Now that you do this, wouldn't this harm everyone's feelings?"

"That is also true ah. But now that so many boxes are carried out. If we don't search it, everyone's heart will probably not be convinced." After she finished, Huang Bei Yue raised her eyes. The cold gaze faintly swept from the front hall to the yard to all the servants and maids' bodies.

Everyone who interacted with her cold and icy glance all moved back. They harshly gulped their saliva.

"Does everyone think there should be the need to search or no?" She picked up the teacup and slowly opened her mouth, inquiring.

Those maids and servants all looked at each other. In the end, they all surrendered under Huang Bei Yue's powerful imposing manner, all nodding their heads.

"Search! Search!"

"After searching the housekeeper, we will then be convinced!"

"Right, we definitely need to search it!"

****

Xiao Yuan Cheng really wanted to clap his hand on the table, dragging these servants who had moved to the other side and slaughtering them!

But once he saw this type of situation, in Xiao Yuan Cheng's heart, it was also in chaos. All the things in the boxes were private treasures from the prefecture of Princess Zhang.

He saw that they were pretty good so he took them all out. One part of it, he left them down to keep for himself. Another part of it, he told housekeeper Zhou to look after them. These two days, he was going to go around to form relationships with others, gifting the bosses gifts in order to steady his position in the military.

Conveniently, his position as the Emperor's son-in-law should be raised as well. All these years, could it be that his whole life, he could only be the Emperor's son-in-law?

He had already let housekeeper Zhou make movements on the account books. Many gold coins were also transferred out. Little by little, it was all stored in Lan Mu Card, ready to be sent out.

Now, all these things were locked in the boxes. If they were to search the boxes, wouldn't it be revealing that he had been making housekeeper Zhou making fake account books?

It really was God's plans supersede our own. He should've placed the items in the space ring. But in the past, he had been thinking about gifting them to people so he had taken them all out. Plus, how could he have possibly thought that Huang Bei Yue would suddenly change as a person?

However, it wasn't that easy for Huang Bei Yue to search it either. The keys to the boxes, he had been personally keeping them. This type of heavy locks and metal boxes were especially used by noble families to hide items. It was not easily opened.
