In the Taipu Temple Yamen, the hall!

After Chen Xiao came in, he found the first fifty-year-old man with a pale face sitting.

There were several other officials in the hall, all of whom were sitting, and their faces were not very good-looking!

The first one is that the clothes are red and the tonic is third-grade.

So it is not difficult to guess that this is the Minister of Taipu Temple!

Chen Xiao had a expressionless face and bowed perfunctorily: "Chen Xiao, the chief of the Ministry of Revenue, Chen Xiao, has met the Minister of the Taipu Temple!"

"Hmph, it's you, you are yelling outside and insulting me?" said the Taipu Temple Qing.

Chen Xiao shook his head: "How can he say it is an insult? Just tell the truth!"

"So bold. You said that I don't have any shame, wouldn't it be a crime?" said the Taipu Temple Minister.

Chen Xiao nodded: "Yes, then Taipu Temple, are you planning to go to the Ministry of Justice to solve the problem or go to Dali Temple? The Censorate is fine!"

The Taipu Temple Qing looked ugly. When he went to these places, not only did he not pay back the money, but he might also make a big deal. How embarrassing?

"Don't say this here. If you insult me, you don't have to go to various yamen to solve the problem. In this Taipu Temple, I can beat you up for the crime of being the best!" said the Taipu Temple Minister.

"It's okay!" Chen Xiao smiled faintly: "If this is the case, I don't mind letting you, Taipu Siqing, take the charge of borrowing money but not repaying it!"

"You... Chen Xiao, who did you come?" asked the Taipu Temple Qing!

Chen Xiao stood proudly: "It's the Minister of Revenue. He asked the subordinates to collect all these accounts. What's wrong with it?"

The Taipu Temple Minister was speechless, silent for a while, and continued, "What if I don't return?"

"You can try it!" Chen Xiao smiled!

"Bold, what's your attitude to talk to our temple minister?" a sixth-rank temple minister spoke.

Chen Xiao frowned: "What's wrong with you here? Why? Do you owe our Ministry of Revenue money?"

The temple chief shook his head: "Hmph, I won't owe you money!"

"Awesome!" Chen Xiao nodded and then said to the Taipu Temple Minister:

"Look at the officials under your command, they will not owe our Ministry of Revenue money, unlike some people!"

The Taipu Temple Queen looked ugly, and the Temple Prince lowered his head awkwardly, knowing that he had just wiped out the superior's face.

"Chen Xiao, you can't even receive the money from me today!" said the Taipu Temple Minister.

Chen Xiao asked: "You are planning to be shameless?"

"Hmph, whatever you want, I will sit here today, and several major officials of Taipu Temple are also here. If you can get the money, I will lose!" The typical deadbeat of Taipu Temple Minister.

Chen Xiao smiled: "Is that true? In other words, the officials present will help you rely on the accounts of the Ministry of Revenue?"

"Hmph!" Taipu Temple Qing snorted.

Chen Xiao nodded: "Okay, it doesn't matter. This is not what you owe me. You borrowed from the Ministry of Revenue. Let's see, do you dare to rely on me here? Do you dare to rely on me? Do you dare to rely on the entire Ministry of Revenue?"

The Taipu Temple Minister was slightly moved, but soon, he sneered again:

"I don't believe that the Minister of Revenue asked you to ask me for the account. His relationship with me, hum, it's impossible!" said the Taipu Temple Minister.

Chen Xiao nodded: "Yes, your relationship is indeed extraordinary. Taipu Temple Minister, have you ever wondered why I dare to ask you to pay back the money so arrogantly?"

"Aren't you just a sixth-rank official? I'll give you some courage!" Taipu Temple Qing despised him.

Chen Xiao smiled: "No, no, no, it's because I have been checking accounts these days. I know every transaction expenditure of the Ministry of Revenue Financial Department in this account clearly.

I am a lieutenant, you should know that I can read all these accounts. But the Minister of Revenue also asked me to check, and I really checked them.

There is a calculation that this spring, you applied for 20,000 taels of silver from the Ministry of Revenue to use for horse government. He said yes, he wanted to buy some horses. The Ministry of Revenue allocated 20,000 taels of silver.

But after accounting, there are 21,000 taels missing here, and 1,000 taels are still not recorded, right? So, in fact... it should be 21,000 taels...

Taipu Temple Minister, you said, is it that you took the extra 1,000 taels or was it swallowed by the Ministry of Revenue...? Don't tell me you don't know, this kind of account and money can be cleared in person!"

Chen Xiao's words seemed to be raising the debt, but in fact, he threw out a problem of corruption to the Taipu Temple Minister.

The Taipu Temple Queen looked at Chen Xiao with a serious expression and said, "Come on, it's the account of your Ministry of Revenue and has nothing to do with me. I only took 20,000 taels of silver!"

"Oh? It seems that I have to go back and ask the Minister of Revenue. After all, this is his relationship with you Taipu Temple! Whether it is you or him, a thousand taels are gone. There must be someone with a problem, right? Or both of them have problems!" Chen Xiao said.

The Taipu Temple Qing frowned: "What did you say you do? This is your arrogant point?"

Chen Xiao smiled, raised his head and said, "Yes, the most arrogant thing about me is that I know every silver exchange between the Ministry of Revenue and Taipu Temple in recent years.

Whether it was the last time that I lost 1,000 taels or the last time that I lost 1,200 yuan, I calculated it. Lord Taipu Temple, do you want me to say it out one by one?"

The Taipu Temple Minister looked at Chen Xiao with surprise and said, "Impossible, how could the Minister of Revenue give you such an account?"

Chen Xiao said: "I have to say here that our Minister of Revenue is so sluggish. No one can calculate the bad debts of the Ministry of Revenue. It is indeed impossible for anyone to make it clear.

But, I, Chen Xiao, is not an ordinary person. In my opinion, those accounts are as simple and easy as the math problems of primary school students. So I can not only figure them out, but also be familiar with them!"

The Taipu Temple Qing narrowed his eyes and said, "So, are you threatening me?"

Chen Xiao held his hands behind his back and said lightly: "Yes, I put my words here today. If you don't return the five thousand taels of silver, hum, you will be responsible for the consequences!"

Taipu Temple Qing narrowed his eyes: "Oh? What are the consequences?"

Chen Xiao also narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "I can guarantee that the book that is incompatible between your Taipu Temple and the Ministry of Revenue will be marked clearly on the emperor's table. If you don't believe it, you can try it?"

The Taipu Temple Qing looked gloomy and stared at Chen Xiao and said:

"Chen Xiao, why do you think I have to believe you? How many days do you have to be the head of the Ministry of Revenue Financial Department? If the Minister of Revenue dares to give you these bad accounts, you will be sure that you can't calculate it.

You dare to say here that you easily matched the accounts? You said that you calculated clearly? Do you think I am really a three-year-old?"

Chen Xiao sighed, shook his head and said:

"If you believe it or not, why should I talk nonsense to you? Once this account is put to Your Majesty, you will have to pay back the money. If there is any problem with Taipu Temple and the Ministry of Revenue, Your Majesty will also investigate you and the Minister of Revenue.

Your Majesty will also find out the matter between you and you. Whether you are dead or alive is nothing to do with me. Once I collect the accounts, will I worry about that?"

As he said that, Chen Xiao turned around and left, saying as he walked:

"For the sake of just five thousand taels, I exposed my own activities to His Majesty. Tsk, I guess I'll lose my life!"

Hearing what Chen Xiao said while walking, the Taipu Temple Queen became nervous.

He looked at Chen Xiao's figure who left resolutely, and felt even more at ease.

In the end, he was still afraid. He believed that Chen Xiao could not settle the bad debts so quickly, but he believed even more that when the emperor had reached the point where this matter was, he was dead after investigation...

"Chen Xiao, please stay!"
