The emperor slapped the table to pieces. This scene scared Chen Xiao. He didn't realize that the emperor was still a master?

He himself is a warrior in the early stage of the internal power realm, but he is sure that it is unlikely that he will slap the table, not to mention breaking it, even leaving a handprint on the table.

And the emperor slapped him with a slap? How awesome?

But he didn't know that the emperor's table was made of hard iron wood. Although it was not as hard as real iron, it was definitely hard enough.

This kind of wood was made into such a large table, but it was slapped by a palm.

This is no longer explained by the deep internal strength!

The emperor snorted and said to Chen Xiao: "You go back first and see if you can investigate some more things..."

Seeing that the emperor was not angry, Chen Xiao nodded and said nothing, so he turned around and left.

After Chen Xiao left the palace, he returned to the Ministry of Revenue.

However, as soon as he entered the Ministry of Revenue Courtyard, the Minister of Revenue, the two ministers, the Jinbu Department's Officer and the Yuanwai Lang immediately rushed up.

Moreover, there were many minor officials and some yamen runners around, who surrounded Chen Xiao.

Looking at this scene, Chen Xiao knew that they were going to cause trouble for themselves!

"Master Chen, you seem to be very busy these two days!" The Minister of Revenue said.

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "I'm very busy. Master Shangshu, what advice do you have?"

"Teacher? I dare not, but, I heard that you are corrupt? So, come and check it!" said the Minister of Revenue.

Chen Xiao was stunned. What do you mean?

The Minister of Revenue snorted and waved to the minor official behind him:

"Go in and find out the recent books such as salt and tea tax. I want to check it out."

Chen Xiao frowned and probably understood.

These guys are planning to deduct the crime of corruption?

Soon, the yamen runners came out and said to the Minister of Revenue:

"Sir, I didn't find it!"

The Minister of Revenue stared at Chen Xiao and said, "Where is the salt tax account book?"

Chen Xiao said: "I don't know!"

I thought to myself, do I want to tell you, where is the emperor?

The Minister of Revenue snorted coldly and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't hand it over, anyway, it's the same."

Chen Xiao was very calm and said, "Sir Shangshu, where is this singing?"

The Minister of Revenue said to Chen Xiao: "I have investigated, the salt tax and tea tax and iron tax are actually paid incorrectly from the ones recorded in your account book of the Ministry of Finance."

Chen Xiao said: "So what?"

The ward of the Jinbeshi Department said: "Minister Chen, I will leave it to you for the salt tax collection. I found that the account was wrong and you can't pay the account now. Could it be that you are really corrupt?"

The Minister of Revenue immediately spoke: "Bold Chen Xiao, are you actually embezzling and making fake accounts?"

Chen Xiao laughed when he heard this, and then said, "Awesome, are you planning to force these crimes on me? Lord Shangshu is really amazing!

But it is true that the Ministry of Revenue has the final say. If you say I collect these taxes, then no one dares to say that I don’t collect them, right?"

The Minister of Revenue took two steps forward and said in Chen Xiao's ear:

"If you want to blame, you will blame you for being too ignorant. If you block our way of wealth, we will give you a dead end..."

Chen Xiao replied: "Who gives someone a dead end, it's not certain!"

The Minister of Revenue sneered: "Hmph, the doctor of the Jinbe Department said that more than 20,000 taels in the account are incompatible with the actual tax collection.

Boy, now our Ministry of Revenue says that you collect this tax. You guess, will you die?"

Chen Xiao was now very grateful, but fortunately, he took the account book to the emperor in advance.

These guys probably thought they were checking them out?

I felt a little funny, but Chen Xiao did not show it, but continued to cooperate and say:

"What do you think?"

"It's very simple, kill you!" said the Minister of Revenue.

The right assistant minister also spoke: "Chen Xiao, we warned you early in the morning that you are too good at being a human being. You said that you, as an official of the Ministry of Revenue, you insist on investigating the official of the Ministry of Revenue.

Ask me, who is not greedy for those present? This time, it’s not that we won’t let you go, but that our entire Ministry of Revenue will not let you go!”

Chen Xiao nodded slightly: "I can see it!"

"Now, what our entire Ministry of Revenue says is what you are, and your life and death are in our hands!" Kinbe Shi Sin sneered.

Chen Xiao curled his lips: "But, I was very busy some time ago and it was impossible to collect taxes at all. Who would believe me if you say I collect taxes?"

"Do you think we are fools? Humph, now, we are going to take you down and imprison you in the Ministry of Revenue. Two days later, you can say that you have gone to collect taxes!" said the Minister of Revenue.

Chen Xiao couldn't help but ask: "But, there is no account book? Why do you say that the tax is wrong?"

The right assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue said: "Idiot, why do you have to have an account book? We just said that you can destroy the account book?

As for why we say that the tax is wrong, just count the tax paid by the salt merchant and compare it with the taxes and silver of Kinbeji. Isn’t it obvious how much money you have spent on the business?"

Kinbe Shi added: "Didn't your restaurant make a lot of money? At that time, we ask His Majesty to investigate you and go directly to your restaurant to search out more than 20,000 taels of silver you earn, and say it was the part you embezzled. Do you say, you are not dead yet?"

Chen Xiao nodded in admiration and said, "Awesome, the previous head of the Jinbu Department, is that what I took the blame for you?"

"Hmph, since you know, you made the same mistake? Haha, then we can't blame us!"

Chen Xiao said: "Okay, it seems that I will die, so what are you going to do in two days? Let the people from the Ministry of Justice arrest me?"

"We plan to report this matter directly to Your Majesty, so in two days, you will be waiting in the court and be convicted by Your Majesty himself!" The Left Minister spoke.

Chen Xiao sighed: "It seems I'm done this time!"

"Haha, boy, now I know I'm scared? You can't fight ours!" The Minister of Revenue laughed.

Chen Xiao lowered his head with pain and regret, almost unable to help but smile.

I thought to myself, you idiots are planning to say that you will be collecting taxes in the next two days?

Little did they know that the account books were read by the emperor, and you still made fraud here to let Chen Xiao collect taxes?

However, Chen Xiao is very excited. He is very much looking forward to them arresting him in two days and suing him for corruption in the past two days.

I don't know how wonderful the scene would be.

So he cooperated very much and said, "I have given up resisting now. You are so awesome... lock me up..."

So, the Minister of Revenue and the others were self-righteous, tied Chen Xiao's hands up and locked him up in a room to guard him.

The Minister of Revenue did what he said and took Chen Xiao seriously for two days.

On the third day, the Minister of Revenue opened the house with a smile and said to Chen Xiao:

"Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao, today is your death date!"
