Lady of the Lord From the East

Chapter 31

Qin has always been an ambitious maid, she is not willing to be an ordinary maid, and her ultimate goal has always been a housekeeper.

And the appearance of Wei Wei made Qin feel that she was one step closer to this goal. It can be said that besides the housekeeper and Dolores, she most hoped that Wei Wei and Felix would be better.

But she didn't think she might become an accountant before becoming a housekeeper.

Or the accountant of the count.

The salary of a professional accountant is much higher than that of a maid, and it is very decent. Only men who are knowledgeable and trusted by the master can do it. Women are never allowed to be accountants. Some private wealth calculations.

Qin knew very well that if Wei Wei hadn't spoken, she would never have had such an opportunity in her life.

She didn't know if she would have the opportunity to contact these after completing this mission, but Qin was still very grateful to Wei Wei.

So did Dolores' two maids.

Three maids and two male servants, including Ward, called by Butler Barton, formed a temporary transcription team. After Wei Wei explained the workflow, they were placed in another room to transcribe the form.

The five selected people are all smart, even the two maids who are about the same age as Dolores are not bad. Otherwise, it is impossible to just listen and learn to be similar to Dolores. Wei Wei goes to check from time to time and finds that They quickly went from unfamiliar to proficient, understanding the entire workflow.

They even know how to take turns sharing the work. Two people read the ledger, two copy it, and the remaining one is responsible for making sure that the content in the table is the same as that in the ledger.

The ones that were sent to Wei Wei were all transcribed forms, and some errors that were found in the transcribing would be marked next to them.

However, such mistakes are relatively few, and they will only make mistakes in some trivial and easy-to-fool past. The wrong amount is not large, which is completely different from the new ledger that Felix brought back.

Felix was expressionless when he knew this.

From the point of time when the frequency of mistakes suddenly increased, it is clear that the accountants who worked for them for many years started after their father and brother became ill, and after their death, presumably knew some of Felix's Deeds, the people who do the accounting have come up with ideas that they should not have, and tentatively increased the intensity of false accounting, thinking that they could hide from their young earl.

It's a pity that no one thought that Felix would ask for help because he wanted to be alone with Wei Wei, and the accountants' fake accounts were invisible under the new-style table.

The conclusion is that these people should have been embezzling the property of the Earl a long time ago.

Such crimes would be enough for them to be sentenced to death by the enraged Count, or to be deprived of their status as freemen and become slaves.

Felix chose the former, he felt he didn't need such slaves, and they deserved to go to hell.

Not only that, but their homes should be raided, their families would be charged with hard work, and those seized properties would be used to fill their gaps.

During the whole process, Felix did not express any opinion on Wei Wei, who was ordered by his subordinates.

Corruption is an unacceptable behavior. If you do it, you must be prepared to be punished. Although it is a bit harsh to be sentenced to death, this is the Middle Ages, an era when the lords treated their subjects as private property.
