That night, Chen Xiao went home and slept soundly.

That night, the Minister of Revenue and two ministers were in the hall of the chief minister, counting the money and wanting to scold his father.

The sixty thousand taels of silver are mostly one tael and one ingot of silver, so there are a total of sixty thousand taels of silver.

They need to calculate the loaned money, each ingot, and then count it enough and arrange it neatly.

Even if there are three people, it is really not easy to calculate the amount of money borrowed, which is enough to be 60,000 yuan, and be arranged neatly, and be extremely careful.

So in the middle of the night, the three of them collapsed a little.

"Sir Shangshu, I don't want to count anymore, my eyes are blurred..." The Left Minister spoke.

The right assistant minister also said, "Yes, sir, I'm so sleepy..."

What's more, the Secretary of State is not the case?

However, for the benefit given by Qingyuanhou and to deal with Chen Xiao, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Continue, this is only half. After counting all the money, Chen Xiao will be finished."

So, the three people continued to support.

In the second half of the night, they saw that they were full of money and could no longer hold anything else, and they could see that everything was full of money.

However, Chen Xiao was still sleeping comfortably at this moment.

This night, for some people, their eyes were closed and opened.

But for some people, they have closed their eyes countless times and forced them to open them...

They knew that when the day was dark the next day, they had cleared their accounts.

After a closer look, it’s a shame that the money is not in line with the account!

Because the sum of the money here is actually thousands of taels more than the loan!

What's the situation?

For a moment, the three chief officials were stunned.

The Minister of Revenue said: "No, this... is not only a lot, but there are more? There are so many more?"

"Sir, are we counting wrong?" said the right assistant minister.

The Minister of Revenue nodded and said, "Maybe, maybe..."

"What should I do?" asked the Left Minister.

The Minister of Revenue gritted his teeth: "Count it again!"

"But, I'm going to go to the morning court now..." said the right assistant minister.

The Minister of Revenue suddenly realized and walked to the door.

At this time, Chen Xiao came to the main hall early.

"Master Chen, open the door and we are going to go to the morning court!" Shangshu spoke.

Chen Xiao opened the door, and the Minister of Revenue closed the door and locked it, took the key himself, and said to Chen Xiao:

"Let's go to the morning court first, and come back and continue counting!"

Chen Xiao was stunned: "The inventory has not ended yet?"

"Uh... something went wrong, re-inventory..." said the Minister of Revenue.

Chen Xiao was speechless: "Okay then!"

Looking at the backs of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue and the other two left, Chen Xiao sneered: "This is what you asked for. I have only cheated you once. You have to cheat yourself once. I really can't figure it out..."

As he said that, Chen Xiao sat down and continued to be bored!

The Minister of Revenue and the two ministers of the Ministry of Revenue firmly believed that they must have counted the wrong money or calculated the wrong account.

Otherwise, how could the money you recovered is more than you lent out?

I arrived at the palace and lined up to the back of the hall. Soon, the emperor came.

After talking to the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he frowned:

"Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. Are you actually dozing off at the main hall court meeting?"

The three of them woke up instantly, and then the Minister of Revenue bowed down and said, "Please ask Your Majesty to atone for your sins. I and the three of them didn't sleep all night last night..."

"Oh? Why is this?" the emperor asked in confusion.

The Minister of Revenue said: "When you go back to your Majesty, I asked an official from the Ministry of Revenue to collect all the money owed by some officials. Last night he said that the money he collected did not match. I counted it all night, so I... I didn't sleep all night!"

"Oh? There is still this matter?" the emperor was puzzled.

He naturally knew that some officials like to borrow money from the Ministry of Revenue, and he also knew that it was difficult to recover the money.

Therefore, he was very puzzled, so he asked, "Who is going to take back the money?"

The Minister of Revenue hesitated and said, "Go back to Your Majesty, that's right, Chen Xiao, the head of the Jin Ministry!"

"He?" the emperor frowned, then thought, and said, "I didn't expect that he would be a good player to collect the accounts."

After thinking about it, I asked again: "Have you collected all the money?"

"At present, it seems that it has been taken back, but he himself said that something seems to be wrong, so we only counted it once last night, and the results we got were not as good as..."

Hearing this, the emperor asked, "How many are missing, and how can I not match?"

"This... Your Majesty, there is no less, but... about a thousand taels more..." said the Minister of Revenue.

The emperor was even more surprised. He always collected less accounts, but why did he charge more this time?

"Your Majesty, therefore I feel that these silvers are still wrong and I want to count them again!" said the Minister of Revenue.

He tried his best to confirm that Chen Xiao’s account was incorrect, so as to embarrass Chen Xiao.

The emperor was also very curious about this matter, so he said: "It is said that Chen Xiao, the head of the Ministry of Revenue Department of the Ministry of Revenue!"

The imperial guards immediately left the palace and rode their horses to the head office of the Ministry of Revenue Jinmen.

Chen Xiao didn't expect that he would go to the palace, so he followed him to the palace without hesitation.

Outside the hall, Chen Xiao looked up at the tactful and domineering hall, feeling oppressed in his heart.

Then he strode in.

In the hall, there were many officials, civil servants on the left and military officers on the right, standing on both sides, all looking at Chen Xiao.

Chen Xiao took a deep breath without showing his fear, walked to the center step by step, and then bowed and bowed: "My minister, Chen Xiao, the head of the Jin Ministry, has seen Your Majesty..."

"No gift!" the emperor said: "Chen Xiao, I heard that you have recovered all the accounts borrowed from the Ministry of Revenue in the past few days?"

"Your Majesty, this is indeed true!" Chen Xiao said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

"Yeah, it's not bad, but I heard from the Minister of Revenue that you seem to think the account is wrong? And after he counts it, it's not right?" the emperor asked again.

Chen Xiao said: "Yes, after I counted it, the accounts were indeed wrong!"

The Minister of Revenue sneered and said, "Master Chen, tell me how much was missing when you counted it?"

Chen Xiao said: "Sir, the official said he was not right, but he didn't say that, is that bad? After I counted it, the silver was one thousand taels more."

The Minister of Revenue was stunned and said, "You have counted too many things?"

"Yes, did you find too much after counting it? How much more?" Chen Xiao pretended to be confused.

The Minister of Revenue swallowed and said, "There is more... about one thousand taels..."

Chen Xiao smiled: "That means that what we counted is the same, they all have one thousand taels more. Oh, by the way, I remembered that when he collected the account of General Zhao Dajin of Zhenyuan, he gave a few hundred taels more. Some of the others also gave a little more or less. Together, they added one thousand taels more, which was almost the same."

After Chen Xiao said this, the Minister of Revenue became anxious: "Since that's the case, after you count the accounts, why did you say that it was wrong? The three of us who returned stayed up late last night to count..."

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "It seems that at that time, you couldn't wait to count the problems. How can you not help the Lord?"
