Chapter 857

There are many members of the Chu clan, only 200 people attended the meeting today, and only 30 people have browsed the ledger.

So most of the clansmen are still kept in the dark.

Chu Dunru smiled lightly, "Brother of the four clans, I am not sorry, but want to hold you accountable."

The unsuspecting clansmen looked at each other in blank dismay. Although everyone knew that the elders of the four clans were not capable of handling affairs, and they were used to relying on their elders to prostitute them, but there was a ninth grandma in their family that no one could afford to offend, so they always kept their family at a respectful distance.

The elders of the four clans became more and more uneasy, "Brother Nineteen, that... Brother Yu... Brother Yu seems to have made some mistakes, right?"

"The elders of the four clans," Chu Dunru said calmly, "Now Dunru is holding you accountable as the patriarch.

"Last year, the central government allocated money and came back. Please be responsible for the renovation of the ancestral hall. May I ask how much wood, bricks and tiles are used, and how many migrant workers?"

The elders of the four clans were tongue-tied and unable to answer.

"Okay," Chu Dunru nodded slightly, "Even if you never managed it yourself, but you left this matter to Jiulang, where is Jiulang?"

Chu Jiu hurriedly stood up, her face turned pale and her body trembled slightly, "My nephew is here!"

Chu Dunru said: "Answer the question I asked just now."

"This..." Beads of sweat dripped down Chu Jiu's forehead, "The patriarch... the patriarch..."

Chu Dunru slowly took out an account book and flipped through it, "I have some records here. From the first day you took office, you invited all the stewards to have a drink every three days, and all the wood, bricks and tiles you used were found by yourself through connections.

"A total of 64 civilian husbands were recorded, and 48 actually worked.

"The construction site provides two meals for the folks, but the actual payment is for three meals.

"Jiulang, let me ask you, how much is the total cost for the steward's dinner? Where did it come from?

"Where did your bricks and wood come from, and how much did it cost?
"How much is the total cost of hiring civilians? How much is spent on real civilians?"

Chu Jiu knelt down on the ground with a "puff", "Patriarch! Uncle Nineteen! My nephew knew it was wrong! My nephew... my nephew is scared of poverty, and is dazzled by money..."

Chu Dunru sighed lightly, and winked at Chu Zhiwen, Chu Zhiwen waved his hand, and the person who was temporarily borrowed from Rong An led away, and a loud noise came from outside not long after.

The ground trembled under their feet, and the clansmen were startled and at a loss what to do.

Chu Dunru raised his voice: "Don't panic, the house that collapsed outside is the house that Jiu Lang was in charge of repairing.

"It's all because the wood is of poor quality or even decayed."

At this time, someone came in with wood and tiles and showed them to the tribe, "These are all dismantled by us, and they have not landed."

From the broken stubble of the wood, it can be seen that there are many traces of insects on it, and the tiles are also very poor, with cracks on them.

The person who came said loudly: "We just kicked a colonnade hard, and the whole house collapsed. Fortunately, there was nothing in the house."

The old man of the second clan said: "How do I remember that the houses in that area store sacrificial tributes and other things?"

He cupped his hands at Chu Dunru, "Patriarch, we'd better go and have a look."

Chu Dunru nodded, and ordered people first: "Look at everyone in the fourth room!"

Then he led the crowd towards the place where the incident happened.

The good-looking house that I saw when I came here has been turned into ruins.

The servant went forward and plucked for a while, and found the intact lock, which was still locked.
