Chapter 266 New Garza Warehouse

Joy Ward has made great contributions to the Kingdom of Dillon, and because he was awarded the title of Duke, he owns a territory equivalent to two normal duchies in the east of the Kingdom of Dillon.

The former Duke Ward was also a confidant of King Dillon at that time. The old king trusted this disciple of the legendary strongman quite a lot. Many important departments in the kingdom were controlled by Duke Ward's subordinates.

However, Joey Ward did not live up to His Majesty the King's trust. Under the leadership of this powerful duke, the strength of the Dillon Kingdom increased rapidly, and only then was it qualified to compete with the Kingdom of Fes.

However, things change and people change. Joey Ward eventually relapsed due to old injuries from years of fighting and passed away a few years ago. The previous King Dillon died at about the same time.

Now the power of the Dillon Kingdom is transferred to Lucal Dillon, and the title and power of Duke Ward are also inherited by Joey's eldest son Stellan Ward.

Lukar felt that since Joey Ward had passed away, he naturally needed to take back the extra power that was obviously inappropriate and could not tolerate another heavyweight voice in the country.

And Stellan will definitely not let go of his power. As a qualified political creature, he will never place his fate on the mercy of those in power.

This is the background of the turmoil in Ice Peak City.

This is the cause of the [Devil's Gate] incident in Ice Peak City.

Li Si knew in his heart that what Gilberto asked him to do should mean that the conflict between the two parties was irreconcilable and was about to be brought to light.

As the King of the Kingdom of Dillon, Lukar is very skillful. It is this King who will promote the future invasion of the Kingdom of Fes.

Perhaps it was because he realized that the opportunity to launch a war had finally arrived that Lukar could no longer bear it?

Before the actual war begins, he wants to eliminate all hidden dangers in the country.

Before fighting the outside world, you must first make peace with the inside!

Li Si did not participate in the entire process of the Ice Peak City [Devil's Gate] incident. In his previous life, he was still struggling in Bright Light City!

Therefore, he only knew the general progress of the incident and did not know the specific details.

For example, right now, it should be the first confrontation between King Dillon and Duke Ward.

I just don’t know if His Majesty the King has any other arrangements.

Gilberto said it lightly just now. If he could take down the position of Financial Assistant of Fruel Philip so easily, would he still have to find trouble for himself?

What Li Si is worried about now is whether the Ken Simon he pretends to be will be regarded as an abandoned child and thrown away after use, and his identity is likely to be exposed.

Sigh~ Why is it such a troublesome thing from the beginning!

We can only see if there are any opportunities to cause trouble in the process.

Li Si sighed and took a sip of black tea.

Duoduo~

There was a knock on the door.

"Enter!"

Li Si put down the tall white teacup in his hand.

A middle-aged man who looked to be about thirty years old gently opened the door and walked in, standing respectfully in front of Li Si.

"Who are you?"

Li Si asked pretending not to care.

"Lord Simon, I am Lord Salas' second secretary, Hans Cruz. Lord Salas asked me to come over to assist you in your work."

"Um."

Li Si responded calmly and then said:

"Gilberto said you know everything, so where to start?"

Hans was stunned. He didn't expect the financial affairs officer to be so straightforward and ask him directly without any politeness.

I heard that this was once the favorite general of the Duke of Ghana, and it seems that the rumors are true.

However, Hans, who had been in the officialdom for more than ten years, had many thoughts in his mind, but his expression remained unchanged as he introduced Li Si to what Gilberto had told him.

"Sir Gilberto has signed a formal administrative order to sort out all the kingdom's financial and political work last year, and you will be responsible for it."

"Financial Auxiliary Lord Fruel Philip is mainly responsible for the collection, accounting and statistics of the kingdom's taxes, the distribution of Ice Peak City construction funds and the statistical distribution of noble annuities."

"When I came here, Sir Gilberto told me that I might need to pay more attention to these aspects."

Li Si forcibly suppressed the corners of his mouth that wanted to twitch and maintained his serious state and persona.

Good guy, the power of taxation in the kingdom is not in the hands of Gilberto but in the hands of this financial assistant. Doesn't it mean that half of the kingdom's financial power is controlled by this number three figure?

As long as there is a little manipulation, a large amount of gold coins will enter Duke Ward's pocket unknowingly.

No wonder I had to get rid of this guy first.

It even made it clear where I started?

Li Si was silent for a moment, pretending not to understand and continued:

"Since Gilberto trusts you, where would it be more appropriate for us to start?"

"Of course it's the collection of the kingdom's taxes last year. Although Sir Philip should have already taken care of the account books, if you use your hands and feet, you will definitely find out something."

Hans said in a deep voice, although his tone still maintained respect for the financial auxiliary officer, but he was ready to press the senior official to death directly.

"Sir Simon, this is the memorandum I brought here about all Lord Philip's work last year."

Hans gently placed a thick stack of paper documents on the table in front of Li Si.

Li Si took a brief look at the documents. They were organized in chronological order. Most of them were documents related to the kingdom's taxation. In addition, there were a small number of documents on other financial affairs signed by Philip.

Suddenly, Li Si discovered the name of a document.

Interesting!

A smile appeared on Li Si's face, but then quickly disappeared.

To be honest, anyway, the Chancellor of Finance and the Duke of Ghana planned to let Ken Simon be a tool man. Li Si originally planned to stick to the plan. If he wanted to lose his vest, he would change his identity.

But now it seems that there is an opportunity to steal a chicken and make the dispute between the two parties more lively.

"Hans, your idea is good. I'll do what you want and start investigating last year's taxes."

Li Si nodded and said calmly.

"However, since Mr. Gilberto attaches so much importance to this matter, just checking taxes is not enough."

"Lord Simon, what do you mean?"

Hans was not surprised. In his opinion, the financial affairs officer did not know much about financial work. At this time, he just wanted to arrange more work temporarily and simply wanted to show off.

As long as things generally go according to Sir Gilberto's wishes, these small things will not refute the second-in-command's face.

"That's it!"

Li Si casually took out two documents from the documents in front of him and threw them in front of Hans.

"Just arrange for someone to check the tax affairs. I can rest assured."

"You and I will go to these two places tomorrow to see what Sir Philip did last year."

Hans picked up two documents, one of which was named:
