Chapter 171 Handing over the account books
Cining Palace!
The more the Empress Dowager looked at Chen Xiao, the more she liked Chen Xiao.
It is rare for the old man to meet someone who took such a different approach to chat with her, and Chen Xiao knew very well how to grasp this degree and understood more clearly how to win the old man's favor.
Therefore, after a conversation, the old empress dowager had already regarded Chen Xiao as her own person, and even spoke to Chen Xiao as her grandson-in-law!
This made Concubine Hu and the other two completely confused. Why did they come today?
It is to prevent Chen Xiao from continuing with Long Jiuling, and to prevent Chen Xiao from entering the palace in the future.
What about now?
Chen Xiao was not only able to enter the palace, but also so determined by the empress dowager to become a grandson-in-law.
So, is it to deal with Chen Xiao today or to help Chen Xiao?
At this moment, the Empress Dowager was looking at Chen Xiao and said, "Child, are you and Xiaojiu serious?"
"Of course, it's more true than anything!" Chen Xiao said.
"Okay, since that's the case, you are so outstanding, then there's no problem. When the Ai family is free, they will tell the emperor!" The Empress Dowager said with a smile.
Chen Xiao bowed: "Thank you, the Queen Mother!"
"Well, okay, oh, the Ai family still wants to talk to you, but it's not too early and the Ai family is tired, so I won't talk to you more today, but do you have to come often?"
The empress dowager said, and couldn't help but cough a few times. It seemed that she was really tired!
Chen Xiao hurriedly said, "I dare not disturb the Queen Mother's rest. I will leave first. I will come to visit the Queen Mother next time and continue to think about the Queen Mother's study!"
The Queen Mother smiled: "Okay, go!"
Chen Xiao nodded, then looked at Concubine Hu and the other two, and turned around and left!
Seeing that Chen Xiao was leaving, the old empress dowager said to Concubine Hu and the other two: "You guys should also retreat..."
The three of them stood up, and Concubine Hu said, "Mother, that Chen Xiao..."
The Empress Dowager lost her smile and spoke in a preaching tone, "Okay, what do you think? The Ai family understands, but, as your elders, you should not use the Ai family.
As other people's elders, you should not treat others like this. The royal family should have a demeanor. The Ai family does not want harem disputes, nor does it want harem disputes to affect the talents of the court!"
These words shocked the three of them. Could it be that the Empress Dowager had seen through everything?
This is obviously a warning to the three of them!
How dare the three of them say more? So they bowed.
"This Chen Xiao is pretty good, has the ability, and has no bad character. The Ai family admires it very much!"
After saying this, the empress dowager stood up, was supported by the eunuch, and then entered the side hall from the side to rest.
Concubine Hu and the other two looked ugly and looked at each other. They all knew that this time, not only did they not harm Chen Xiao, but they also helped him and won the favor of the empress dowager...
Not only that, the three of them were also warned by the Queen Mother.
A typical case of stealing chickens will not lose a lot of rice!
Out of Cining Palace!
Concubine Hu said: "It seems that this method will not work..."
"Can't forget it?" Shufei said: "My son took the blame for the murder of him, and I can't swallow this!"
"Can't forget it like this!" Concubine Rui also spoke.
The three of them looked at each other, and then Concubine Hu sneered: "It's really not possible. I'll ask a master to assassinate him!"
"How dare ordinary people assassinate the imperial magistrate? If they are thoroughly found out, they are serious crimes. If they confess us... Your Majesty will not spare us lightly!" Concubine Shu was worried.
Concubine Hu said: "Don't worry, during this period, I have had letters with my prince, and he can't come back for the time being, but he told me a master. That man is very powerful, and killing Chen Xiao must be easy!"
"Can you be 100% sure?" asked Concubine Rui.
"It should be foolproof. At the last Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, I heard that Chen Xiao showed his strength in the early stage of the internal force realm, with internal force and unable to attach weapons and objects.
The master I mentioned in my emperor is a mid-stage expert in the internal force realm. He has reached the level where internal force is attached to weapons and objects, and his strength cannot be underestimated!" said Concubine Hu.
"Then, can we? Plan well, this hateful guy must be killed!" Shufei said.
So, a shocking situation was born under the discussion of these three concubines!
On the other hand, Chen Xiao went to Jiutian Palace to tell Long Jiuling about his passing and left Jiutian Palace.
It was already afternoon, and Chen Xiao walked on the way to the Ministry of Revenue.
The head office of the Ministry of Revenue Financial Department!
Chen Xiao came back, and a minor official came over!
"Others, the Secretary of State has been here before!" said the little official.
"What are you doing?" Chen Xiao asked.
The little official said: "I took away the collected accounts. In addition, I also asked someone to find those books. I didn't find them. I asked you to send them immediately after you come back!"
Chen Xiao sneered, thinking that the Secretary of State was anxious. This morning, Chen Xiao said that he had figured out the bad debts. Of course, the Secretary of State and some people became worried.
Now I can’t wait to get the account book, and I can understand it!
So Chen Xiao took out the account book he had hidden, swaggered, and headed towards the lobby of the Ministry of Revenue.
In the lobby of the Ministry of Revenue, the Minister of Revenue and the two ministers looked ugly!
"Hmph, if I had known, I wouldn't have used this method to deal with him. Who knew that he had collected all the accounts so quickly!"
After the Minister of Revenue finished speaking, he drank a sip of tea in anger.
The right assistant minister said: "The key point is not to clean up him now, but to take back the bad debts. Don't really make it clear by him. Then that's it, we'll all finish it!"
When they talked about this, the three of them were sweating in cold sweat.
Originally, those accounts with problems were not clear at all, and it was almost impossible for some people who were proficient in arithmetic to calculate those accounts clearly.
Because it is too messy, there are a little less here and some are missing. The account is calculated every time, and the result is different. No one can calculate it accurately.
It is because of this that they are convenient for corruption, because even after embezzlement, no one can calculate the account clearly and will never be settled clearly. How can you know where there is a problem?
So, if you are afraid, Chen Xiao will make the account clear. Then, the amount of embezzlement they embezzled will be very clear.
This is a fatal sin!
The more I thought about it, the more anxious he became, the Minister of Revenue said: "Oh, is Chen Xiao back? If it really doesn't work, I'll send someone to search and dig his chief three feet into the ground..."
Before he finished speaking, a voice suddenly sounded outside the door:
"Who wants to dig three feet into my stewardship hall?"
As he said that, Chen Xiao walked in and looked at the Minister of Revenue.
When the Minister of Revenue saw Chen Xiao coming, his face turned even more ugly and said, "Take the account book!"
Chen Xiao sneered: "Sir, didn't you leave it to the officials to check the accounts? You haven't figured it out yet, why do you have to pay it now?"
"You don't need to check it, hand it over quickly!" said the Minister of Revenue.
Chen Xiao curled his lips and took out several accounts from behind. The Minister of Revenue quickly took it over, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.
If Chen Xiao could really find out clearly, those books were in Chen Xiao's hands, it would be like Chen Xiao had seized the lifeline of several officials of the Ministry of Revenue, such as the Minister of Revenue, and the Minister of Revenue!
Seeing the Minister of Revenue and the two ministers of the Ministry of Revenue, Chen Xiao smiled and thought to himself:
Chapter completed!
