"Hello everyone, you can call me Lubin."

In the room used for discussion in the mansion, a young man in a shirt and a well-behaved coat pressed his chest with one hand and bent over to salute.

"This is the assistant I recently found. He will be responsible for related matters as the financial officer of the territory." Lorran Hill, who was wearing armor, introduced this.

"Hello, Mr. Lubin." Gwel immediately returned the gift, looking at the young man with a curious look, guessing his origin in his heart.

"Oh, it turns out it's you boy, haha." Guvas seemed to understand many things when he looked at this young man who had met several times.

"Wait, if he comes to take charge of finance, what about me?" The housekeeper was a little anxious.

"Mr. Favos, don't worry. The matter you left behind will be taken over quickly to reduce your burden." The young man pushed down his glasses and said that he was confident and had no need to worry.

"No, no, no, I think many things are not something that young people like you can understand. Some are ancient traditions and many things left by the past. Yes, only me, only I understand, and can handle them well." The butler pretended to be profound and profound rejection.

"And I am more loyal. I am the servant of the eldest lady. Only by holding the finances firmly in my hands can you be respected." He looked at Gerveer beside him, hoping that the eldest lady would say a few words for him.

"But this is Mr. Wuming's suggestion. I think I still believe this adult would be better." Gerveer shook his head slightly, saying that it would be better if he obeyed the adult beside him.

"Miss, now is not the time to be confused." The housekeeper was a little anxious. Why did this lady always look at outsiders?

"I am your faithful servant."

"Sorry, I want to interrupt for a while." Lu Bin raised his hand and attracted the attention of the people in the room.

"Mr. Favos did indeed do a lot for Lord Viscount in the past, but it was a bit untrue to talk about loyalty."

"In the past few years, because Viscount Winlani was addicted to fun, I asked you to take care of many things."

"The taxes in the territory, the accounting of various expenses, the loss of daily life, etc., and I don't know how many gold coins belonging to the Lord of the Lord have entered your pocket."

"You are slandering people, you are accusation!" The housekeeper was so angry that he jumped up, pounded his feet and stamped his chest, as if he was greatly insulted and wronged.

"If I hadn't worked hard to maintain it, the expenses in the territory would have been insufficient."

"Don't you spend money on a banquet? He traveled around and bought various gifts. These expenses were real. I won't finish it later and save money."

"By the way, Miss, you should also know which gorgeous and exquisite dresses and skirts are customized by special craftsmen, and all the expenses can be seen." He finally remembered something that can be said.

"Is this really the case?" Lu Bin raised his glasses, put his hand into the pocket on the inner side of his collar, took out a folded piece of paper, shook, and unfolded in the bright lights in the house.

"The past is difficult to be considered, so let's not talk about it. In the past three years, you have collected taxes from residents in your territory 128 times, covering a total of 128 times, covering a range of from Georgetown (now the City of Sakura) to the towns under your jurisdiction, and villages."

"Among them, 63 times were tax types that had never appeared in the imperial law, 46 times were tax collection in advance, and 102 times were tax collection in excess."

"The newly created taxes, including those not limited to hunting by hunters, pay two-thirds of the amount of fishermen fishing in the river, passers-by caravans have to pay the door fee, that is, whether there is a transaction or not, they must pay the fee according to the number of livestock. This fee is calculated separately, that is, if the transaction is made, other fees must be paid."

"In order to make money, you interfere with the guards in the past territory, and send an uncertain number of guards to patrol the territory, estimate their income based on the daily work of the shop or residents, and then rob the money in the name of tax collection."

"In order to increase your income, you will not hesitate to prohibit hawkers selling firewood and charcoal from entering the city, so that many poor people can freeze to death, so that the shops you open can make money. In order to collect debts, you ask your subordinates to encourage their fathers to sell their daughters, engage in sexual work, and thus recycle the money from the guards."

"It can be said that you will think of getting involved in anything related to money."

"The defense expenses set by the Lord are also led by you and the guards. Many patrol teams have never been fully staffed, and even the guards' wages are often owed, and you will distribute most of them to the commander and the confidant."

"In your opinion, you don't have to pay for the guards, so that they will have the motivation to squeeze out oil and water from the residents."

"It is also because of this that when the rebellion occurred, the number of guards was seriously insufficient and the combat capability was low, so that the castle with a total geographical advantage was captured without persisting for a day."

"Through the survey of houses and villages in the city, I roughly summarized that Viscount Winlani has reduced its population by one-third in the past decade, and ten years ago was exactly when you took office."

"If Miss Gerveer has any doubts, I can provide you with more detailed evidence and evidence."

"Is this true?" Although he knew that the butler was unreliable, Gwel was still surprised by the great sin behind it.

"No, no, this is false accusation, prejudice, and... it is wrong." The housekeeper said as he stepped back and knocked down the vertical hanger behind him.

"I just obey Lord Viscount's affairs, and often I can't help myself, otherwise where would the money come from."

"Is that true, but in fact, I learned from the maid in the castle that the original lord rarely asks about these matters, and you cannot deny that a large amount of money has been put into your pocket."

"False accusation, this is accusation. I don't have so many gold coins. Just check my home and you will know. Indeed, I got some extra income, but this is impossible. For the sake of life, all kinds of decency need money to maintain. Moreover, I am the face of Lord Viscount, and I cannot perform too badly."

"But, it is absolutely not as shameless and treacherous as you said. I am a gentleman with loyal qualities and cannot suffer humiliation at will."

In response to the butler's various excuses, Lu Bin shook his head, then took out a small glass bottle with white gloves, which contained a white gradient yellowing powder.

"Of course, your home doesn't store much money because most of it is used to buy this addictive alchemy potion."

"This is a hallucinogenic powder produced by the 'Wolf Bone Alchemy Workshop'. Compared with other addictive drugs, its side effects are more relaxed and therefore more concealed."

"You are an old customer of this alchemy workshop and have bought a lot of things from them. In addition, the reason why Viscount Winlani was so addicted to pleasure in the past was that you secretly put this potion into your diet."

"You originally had plans to get Miss Gerveer to get this medicine too. Unfortunately, the lady was sensitive and reacted very much to this medicine. She got seriously ill. Later, considering that the death of the lady was not in your interest, you stopped this temptation."

"In order to protect Viscount Winlani, you did not allow Viscount Winlani to continue to seek medical treatment to avoid being diagnosed, you also specifically asked an alchemist to pretend to be a doctor to cover it up, so that Viscount Winlani believed that this was indeed some kind of aristocratic disease."

"Maybe the young lady would wonder why there was no rebellion in other territories around her, and the uprising of Viscount Winlani was so rapid. I think this is the answer."

If it were just the lord's pleasure, the residents would not be so angry. After all, everyone did not care about the lives of those big shots, but coupled with this kind of harsh taxes and suppression, the rapid accumulation of resentment.

"Brother..." Iyana stood behind Gveer and looked at the calm and rational young man, with a sense of surprise and pride in his heart.

I don’t know when it started, but this ordinary brother in my memory has grown up to this point, which is incredible and surprising.
