Shi Bai, the Minister of Accounts, held the blue-covered ledger in his hand: "Prime Minister Gu, these are all the accounts related to appropriations from the Ministry of Accounts."

"Every cash receipt and expenditure of the Ministry of Revenue has a one-to-one correspondence in this account book." Shi Bai stroked his pale beard: "We officials are looking forward to making the common people have enough every day. Good day?

Even if you are short of your own family, you can't be greedy for the people's life-saving money! "

His eyes were green and black, and his eyes, which had become cloudy with age, were often filled with tears.

He is clearly past his sixtieth year, and should be the age to return home and enjoy family happiness, but he still holds on to his aging body and devotes all his energy to the welfare of the people.

How could a person who always had the people at the forefront of his mind embezzle the money and food allocated by the court for disaster relief in Jiangnan and North County?

Gu Xian'an pursed her lips, respectfully took the account book from his hand, and looked through it carefully.

In fact, he doesn't understand things like account books very well. If that person was still there, he would laugh at his stupidity over and over again, and then remind him carefully where he missed or misunderstood the account books.

But now...

Gu Xian'an shook his head, getting rid of those inappropriate thoughts in his mind, and started flipping through the ledger again with his paused fingertips.

Seeing that he was just looking down at the account book without saying a word, Shi Bai took the initiative to ask about things in Jiangnan and North County.

"Prime Minister Gu, how is the current situation in Jiangnan and North County?"

"To be honest, it doesn't look good at the moment. Most of the houses in the Linhai area of ​​​​North County have been completely washed away. Judging from the governor's report from the Supervision Department, the estimated loss is at least 4 to [-] taels of silver."

Gu Xian'an himself had no interest in account books. Seeing Shi Bai taking the initiative to chat with him, it was like starting a conversation.

"After the floods, people began to contract diseases on a large scale. At first, their limbs became weak, then they had difficulty breathing, and finally most of them foamed at the mouth and died."

When such a heavy topic was brought up, the expressions on both of their faces were a little sad.

"Has your Majesty ever sent people to the Jiangnan and North counties to provide support?" Shi Bai asked him.

"After receiving the news, His Majesty sent more than half of the imperial doctors from the Imperial Hospital to provide support, and also sent people to transport relief money and food. They have already reached Jiangbei, and I believe they will arrive in Jiangnan North County in the near future."

While Gu Xian'an was chatting with him and looking at the account book, he suddenly touched a half-dried ink mark between his fingertips.

The movement of turning the pages suddenly stopped, and Gu Xian'an's eyes turned cold: "Shang Shu of the Ministry of Revenue, I would like to ask you, when was the amount of money and food shipped to the Jiangnan North County for disaster relief recorded?"

"The Ministry of Household Affairs has always received His Majesty's order to record money and grain payments. After counting the money and grain required, it will be recorded in the book."

"Can the accounts be left in other hands?"

"Generally, it is handed over to the person who escorts the money and grain, and they register it, and then the Ministry of Household Affairs conducts verification and review."

Gu Xian'an's fingertips fell on the half-dried ink, and he didn't ask any more questions for a while.

The allocation of money and food for disaster relief was at least half a month ago. If the Ministry of Household Affairs had recorded this, the relevant ink should have dried long ago, but...

The half-dried ink he touched on his hand was obviously written today, or even not long ago.

Someone in the Household Department is embezzling money!

This realization made Gu Xian'an a little frightened. He forced himself to look at the account books calmly and asked Shi Bai: "Is there no backup of the account books in the Account Department?"

"Yes." Shi Bai said, "Please, Prime Minister, please wait a moment while I go to the inner room to look for it."

Shi Bai turned around and went to the inner room to find a backup account book. Gu Xian'an closed the account book at hand, looked around at the other people in the household department, and followed Shi Bai inside.

The Ministry of Household Affairs has always been a rich place in all dynasties. Everyone is trying to squeeze themselves in and get a piece of the pie.

Because of this, people like Shi Bai who can uphold their true intentions are so precious in the entire household.

Shi Bai was flipping through the backup account books in the inner room. The more he flipped through, the more anxious he became. He kept mumbling: "It's obviously here, it's obviously here, I put it here with my own hands..."

Gu Xian'an looked at Shi Bai who was getting more and more anxious, squeezed the account book in his hand, said "sorry" to him in a low voice, and ordered in a cold voice: "Shi Bai, the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue, forged false accounts, colluded with others to embezzle money and food for disaster relief, and transferred Its arrest!”

"Master Imperial Master, have you brought me what I want?" Yan Qingning looked at him with a smile and tilted her head to ask him.

"Whatever your Majesty wants, I will naturally get it." Shen Zhuoan consciously bowed his head in front of him and respectfully handed the account book stolen from the Ministry of Revenue to Yan Qingning.

Yan Qingning took the account book from his hand and inadvertently touched Shen Zhuoan's fingertips.

Shen Zhuoan's body suddenly paused, and after concentrating, he quickly retracted his hand.

Seeing that he didn't have much reaction, Yan Qingning flipped through the account book and asked casually: "What kind of reward does the Imperial Master want?"

Shen Zhuoan's movements paused again, and the darkness in his deep eyes deepened: "Can I ask for any reward?"

"Of course." Yan Qingning looked at him with a smile: "As long as I have it, as long as the Imperial Master wants it, I can give it to you."

Shen Zhuo'an's chin was hooked by him, and he raised his head forcibly. The ends of his eyes turned crimson when Yan Qingning pressed them with his fingertips, making him look a little pitiful.

"If I want your Majesty's position, will your Majesty be willing to give it to me?"

As soon as he said these words, the atmosphere between the two became stagnant to the extreme, and it was unbelievably dull.

Yan Qingning grabbed his collar and pushed him down, with cold eyes: "Master Imperial Master, do you really dare to ask for it?"

"Begging for this position in front of the emperor, does the Imperial Master know that this is a serious crime against the nine tribes?"

Shen Zhuo'an was forced to bend down, his face still cold: "I have always known."

"Those who commit rebellion, usurp the throne and seek power, according to the laws of the Yu State, should have the nine tribes killed and beheaded in public to serve as a warning to others."

Yan Qingning grabbed his collar and continued to push it down, bringing the distance between the two closer: "Since the Imperial Master knows this, how can you still dare to say such a thing?"

"Your Majesty, what I just said was just a joke." Shen Zhuoan lowered his eyes and did not look at him: "I want to ask for other rewards from your Majesty."

Yan Qingning pinched his face and forced him to look at her: "Master Imperial Master, what do you want?"

Shen Zhuoan's eyes were forced to fall on his face, slowly moving down to his lips.

"Your Majesty, I would like to ask you for a kiss."

Xiaobai: [Task target love value +5, current love value is: 35. 】

Yan Qingning held his face and pressed her lips to it, touching him lightly before pulling away in time.

He pressed his fingertips on Shen Zhuo'an's lips, his face was very close to his, and he smiled with unknown meaning: "Master Imperial Master, I will give you what you want."

"Everything you want, I will give you..."
