The female general was reborn in the enemy's house? They all die!

"You want to change the accounts?"

Zhou Xu was so shocked by Rong Sheng's words that he almost jumped up: "What a joke, the Ministry of Revenue's accounts are considered state secrets, how can they be changed at will?!"

"Master Zhou, please be at ease."

Rong Sheng had expected Zhou Xu's shocked reaction. She said calmly, "I know the accounts of the Ministry of Revenue are very important documents, but since they are important, they cannot be lost."

As she spoke, she took out a silver dollar from her bosom and asked, "Master Zhou, can you remember when this silver dollar was made?"

"Is this from... the treasury?"

When Zhou Xu saw that it was silver from the national treasury, he was immediately surprised.

He quickly took the silver dollar from Rong Sheng and looked through it in his hand.

After a moment, as if he had thought of something, he looked up and asked, "This is the relief money for the famine in Yuzhou County three years ago. How come it is in your hands now?"

When Rong Sheng heard this, he was shocked. Instead of answering, he asked, "Sir, do you still remember how much money the emperor allocated for disaster relief that year?"

"I remember that the famine in Yuzhou County was very severe that year. In order to appease the people and prevent the victims from wandering around and causing chaos, the emperor ordered the allocation of 200,000 taels of silver."

"It's just that," Zhou Xu recalled, stroking his chin, "the army transporting the silver was attacked midway and lost almost half of the disaster silver."

"The emperor ordered an investigation, but the clues were inexplicably interrupted one by one. In the end, the emperor had no choice but to throw the leading soldiers into prison, and the matter was over."

"I see." Rong Sheng nodded vaguely. It seemed that the robbery was most likely caused by the Lu family.

"You haven't answered me yet. Where did you get this silver dollar?"

The reason why Zhou Xu was anxious to find out the source of the silver was because official silver would not be circulated among the people at will.

He still wanted to find the whereabouts of the silver through this silver dollar.

If he could really find it, the emperor would definitely reward him.

"Master Zhou, you may not believe this, but not only this silver dollar, but also tens of thousands of taels of silver from the national treasury are now hidden in the hands of the Lu family."

"Lu family?!"

Rong Sheng's words shocked Zhou Xu so much that his jaw almost dropped to the ground. He quickly lowered his voice and warned, "You better be careful with your words. Once the crime of embezzlement is established, it is a capital crime. Lord Lu has been the Minister of Finance of the court for many years. You can't slander him with just a few words."

Rong Sheng glanced at Zhou Xu's expression and found that his surprised expression was indeed not fake, so he said in a deep voice: "Sir, how dare I talk nonsense about such a large number of silver dollars without solid evidence? Didn't you find any clues when you sorted out the accounts of the Ministry of Revenue with Lord Lu?"

"this......"

After Rong Sheng asked this, Zhou Xu looked down at the silver dollar in his hand and felt a little uncertain.

Every time the imperial court allocated funds to local areas, local officials had to verify the receipt and finally submit the account documents with their seal to the capital for Lord Lu to review.

The final accounts of the Ministry of Revenue were kept by him most of the time, and Lord Lu only asked about them occasionally.

He likes to cling to the powerful, but that's also because the Zhou family is considered middle-to-lower class among the powerful people in Beijing, and he is determined to find a backer just to protect himself.

But since he took office as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, he dared to say with confidence that he had no ambiguity about the job in his hands, and had not embezzled a single cent from it.

He nodded again and looked at the silver dollar in his hand, his expression darkening.

If what these two said was true, and Lord Lu really pocketed the disaster relief money, he must have colluded with the officials below. Otherwise, the amount of money was so large that it would be easily exposed.

However, Lord Lu, who has been an official for many years, knows how serious a crime it is to embezzle money from the national treasury.

In this case, he must make sure the accounts are flawless.

In other words, even if we were to look at the details of the past few years again, we might not be able to find any evidence to prove that he embezzled the disaster relief funds.

"Are you sure there is something wrong with Lord Lu?" Zhou Xu collected his thoughts and asked solemnly.

"I'm sure," Rong Sheng said firmly, "If you don't believe me, Lord Zhou can follow me to the place where the silver was hidden and check it on the spot."

"Okay, I'll go with you now." Zhou Xu's eyes moved slightly, as if he was convinced.

"Now?" Rong Sheng raised her eyebrows slightly. She didn't expect Zhou Xu to be so decisive. "Sir Zhou, don't you want to check the accounts first?"

"It's useless," Zhou Xu shook his head. "If Lord Lu really embezzled money, he would definitely not leave any evidence in the accounts."

"Oh, that's what Lord Zhou said." Rong Sheng nodded in sudden realization.

After all, she had only been busy fighting on the battlefield in her previous life, so she didn't really understand these things about civil servants.

After a while, after discussing it, the few people quickly left the side room and went out through the side door of the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Rong Sheng walked in front and relying on his memory, he quickly arrived at Yancui Pavilion which had been closed for several days.

She split open the back door of Yancui Pavilion with her bare hands, and then turned around and said, "Master Zhou, please."

Seeing Rong Sheng's rough skills, Zhou Xu hesitated for a moment, then took a big step over the threshold.

In the backyard of Yancui Pavilion, the fallen leaves on the ground are deep enough to cover people's ankles.

Zhou Xu walked blankly to the center of the courtyard surrounded by trees. After taking a quick look around, he looked back in surprise and asked, "Where is the silver?"

"Master Zhou, please step back. The silver is buried underground."

Rong Sheng replied solemnly and quickly came to a corner of the courtyard.

With her qi sinking into her dantian, she raised her hands slightly and performed her technique again.

Under the shocked eyes of Zhou Xu and Lu Yue, hurricanes rose up around Rong Sheng, his clothes fluttered in the wind, and the fallen leaves in the yard were also stirred into layers of red waves.

Surrounded by maple leaves, Rong Sheng's thin body stood firmly on the ground like a stabilizing force in the strong wind.

At the same time, a deep pit was created in the field under her feet by the strong palm wind.

After an unknown amount of time, Rong Sheng finally regained his breath and the courtyard gradually returned to calm.

"Mr. Zhou, it's done."

Lord Zhou was stunned by the scene just now. He was good at writing and had indeed never seen any military scene up close.

Just now, he pointed a sword at Rong Sheng in the Ministry of Revenue. He was forced into this situation.

Zhou Xu brushed off the fallen leaves and dust on his body, and walked tremblingly to Rong Sheng. However, he did not look at the deep pit at first, but asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Does Feng Zhongpei teach martial arts in addition to medical skills?"

"Uh..." Rong Sheng's face froze after hearing this. He thought for a moment and said, "Of course. There is nothing in this world that my master can't do."

"So that's how it is..." Zhou Xu took it seriously and nodded heavily.

Seeing that Zhou Xu was not in a hurry at all, Rong Sheng signaled Lu Yue to lift one of the wooden boxes.

"Master Zhou, why don't you take a look at what's in this box? It will definitely give you a surprise."
