The next day, Chen Xiao went to the Ministry of Revenue and asked the minor official to file the salt industry he had prepared to start. After filing for a while, he immediately became idle in the head office of the Ministry of Revenue Financial Department.

At this moment, Chen Xiao was sitting on the chair, humming a little song boredly. A small official from the Minister of Revenue came in and said to Chen Xiao:

"Sir, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue said, "In the afternoon, I will come to you to check the accounts. Please make sure you have the account done!"

Chen Xiao was indifferent when he heard this and said, "I understand!"

"Sir, the Secretary said that if you don't understand the account, he will impeach you, and even submit it to His Majesty..."

The minor official saw that Chen Xiao was indifferent, so he said another sentence.

Chen Xiao waved his hand impatiently: "I understand..."

Seeing this, the little official sneered and left immediately.

Back in the hall, the Secretary of State asked, "Tell him?"

"Tell me!" the little official replied.

"What's the reaction?" asked the Shangshu.

"Master Chen is careless and cares nothing."

Shangshu sneered: "It seems that he is a dead pig, not afraid of boiling water, and throwing the jar! Okay, in the afternoon, I insisted that he figure out all the accounts for me and ask him to take back all the external accounts. I see what he should do!"

"Sir, what if it's not done well..." the little official asked.

Shangshu sneered: "Then let's deal with him. After all, I have taken the benefits of Qingyuanhou!"

In the last sentence, his voice can only be heard by himself.

On the other side, Chen Xiao leaned on the chair and began to doze off.

He seemed to have not taken the matter of Shangshu to check the accounts to heart.

Just like this, I played for a day and finally came to afternoon.

The sun was about to set, Chen Xiao looked at it, and it was almost time, so he called several officials from the chief office and said to them:

"You guys, come with me to count the silver you collected!"

One of the minor officials was puzzled: "Sir, have you counted it clearly?"

"Do it again, don't really count it. Pretend to count it. Before long, someone will come to help and we can leave!" Chen Xiao said.

"But sir... I'm leaving the yamen right away... I'm still in a hurry to go back for dinner..." another lieutenant asked tentatively.

"Don't worry, it won't delay you!" Chen Xiao said.

So, with a few minor officials and the account books of foreign debts, they ran to the house where the silver bullets were stored, and began to count them together.

"Dingyuan Bo...5000 liang...one liang, two liang...three liang..."

Outside, the yamen runners of the Ministry of Revenue were basically released.

At this time, the Minister of Revenue also handled the matter well and called the left and right ministers, three chief officials, and came to the Jinmen Office Directorate Hall.

As soon as he entered the main hall, the Minister of Revenue said: "Master Chen?"

When I saw that there was no one, I frowned and heard the noise in the room inside.

"Hmph, I said I would come to check the accounts, but I still ignored it so much? I actually hid and yelled, and I don't know what it means!" The Minister of Revenue shouted angrily!

As he said that, he and the two ministers walked outside the house, and then the Minister of Revenue shouted: "Chen Xiao, get out!"

In the room, Chen Xiao didn't respond.

The Minister of Revenue was angry: "Master Chen, I will check the accounts and come out!"

Inside, Chen Xiao still didn't respond.

The Minister of Revenue was so angry that he walked forward and kicked the door open, and was about to get angry.

But then, the scene inside shocked him.

I saw countless silver in the room, big and small, placed everywhere, very messy.

This was Chen Xiao intentionally messed up. At this moment, he deliberately made it, saying:

"Hello, Lord Shangshu..."

The Minister of Revenue was stunned and said, "Hello...hello..."

"Sir Shangshu is here to check the accounts, right? We have counted it. The money was collected from the adults who have been owed over the years. But after I ordered it, it felt wrong, so... I plan to count it again!"

Chen Xiao said, and after he finished speaking, he blinked his eyes and looked at Shangshu.

The Secretary of the House said in surprise: "These silvers are all... the accounts you collected?"

"Yes, we have been counting for a day. Hey, Lord Shangshu and the two ministers are here to help us, right?" Chen Xiao said.

Shangshu thought to help you with a hammer and make trouble for you.

But I can't say this because I have collected so much money and put it here?

"Wait, you just said that I feel that the counting is wrong?" Shangshu spoke.

Chen Xiao hurriedly said, "That should be right!"

"How can you say that it is right? There can be no problem with this account!" said Shangshu.

At the beginning, he saw so much money and thought that now, in the external accounts, he might not be able to cause trouble for Chen Xiao, and after collecting so much money, he might be able to make contributions to Chen Xiao.

So, I felt a little disappointed.

But now, he feels hope.

If the money collected and the money lent does not match, Chen Xiao would not complete the task.

That's why he said that!

Chen Xiao knew that the Minister of Revenue had also been fooled, so he continued: "Sir, the account should be right, it will not be wrong, it will definitely not be wrong."

When he said this, he deliberately showed a look of panic and fear.

Seeing this, the Minister of Revenue became more sure that there was a problem. He sneered: "Master Chen, you must be rigorous in your work. This account will be counted by my official."

"But you are released at this time, sir!" Chen Xiao said.

The Minister of Revenue said: "Then tomorrow!"

"Okay, okay, you three will come and count tomorrow!" Chen Xiao said impatiently.

The Minister of Revenue was stunned and thought to yourself that you thought so that you would count it tomorrow. Are you planning to fill in the vacancy yourself tonight?

No, Chen Xiao cannot be allowed to succeed.

So he snorted and said, "Just count it tonight!"

"But... there is no one tonight. These little officials have been tired for a day. Besides, you can't feel relieved if they are mine?" Chen Xiao said.

The Minister of Revenue narrowed his eyes and said, "I will count together with the two ministers. Master Chen, you can go back and rest with your subordinates."

He firmly believed that Chen Xiao’s account would definitely not match.

As long as there is a problem in counting, he can deal with Chen Xiao.

For this reason, he did not hesitate to take the initiative to count it himself.

However, he didn't know that this was Chen Xiao's conspiracy!

Chen Xiao showed a worried look and said, "Sir, you...will you work too hard for this..."

"Don't worry about Chief Chen. Chief Chen is invited back. I will start counting it. In order to avoid you or others bringing money in to fill in the loophole, so after you go out, please lock the door and put a seal on it. I will open it tomorrow!"

The reason why the Minister of Revenue did this was because he was worried that when they counted, someone secretly sent the money to fill the vacancy.

With so much money, it takes one night to count it, so he naturally doesn't mind staying in it for a night.

However, Chen Xiao was also very happy. Because the door was locked, he was not worried that the Shangshu would take the money out and then falsely accused him of saying that the money was not enough.

So Chen Xiao and the officials left the house and went out to lock the door and put a seal on it.
Chapter completed!
