After I killed him for 9,000 years, he was reborn.

"It's official business, but also personal..."

Li Lianggong's heart just settled down when he heard Meng Qisui talking about official business, but when he heard the word personal, Li Lianggong's heart accelerated to his throat again.

“Private affair?

What affair?

What kind of affair do I have with this cold-faced private devil who can freeze people to death?

Could it be that Meng Qisui wants to teach me his unique skill of skinning people alive?

Tsk, as someone who manages money and grain, I don’t want that kind of thing…”

Although he was complaining madly in his heart, Li Lianggong still had a smile on his face. He turned his head slightly and said to his precious daughter Li Shiliu behind him, "Shishi, Daddy and Lord Meng still have business to discuss, so you should go back to your room first.

Oh, remember to ask the kitchen to check what to have for dinner, or else we can stew the last turtle in the backyard pond."

In order to prevent other people's pigs from eating his own cabbages, the Minister of Revenue Li Lianggong did not want to leave Li Shiliu, who liked to play the pig and eat the tiger, here to be remembered by the shameless old widower Meng Qisui.

"Here..."

Li Shiliu, who didn't act like a troublemaker at all, responded obediently and went out.

Looking at the back of his beloved daughter Li Shiliu as she left, Li Lianggong, who always felt that the atmosphere between Meng Qisui and his daughter Li Shiliu was a little weird, finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Master Meng, this is not the place to talk. Let's go to the study and talk."

Li Lianggong and Meng Qisui walked side by side and went straight to Li Lianggong's study. Li Shiliu, who was hiding at the corner, watched his father and Meng Qisui go to his father's study. He turned around and left without saying a word.

After arriving at the study, Li Lianggong asked his personal servant Tongqian to serve tea and then left, guarding the door of the study.

After seeing the servant leave, Li Lianggong and Meng Qisui were the only ones left in the study. Meng Qisui then started to talk about business.

"I do have something I would like to ask Minister Li for help with.

Ever since the emperor issued an order to throw the Minister of Works into jail, I have taken over the case. Yesterday, in front of the emperor, Minister Wang confessed.

The Yellow River bursting its dikes this time was more of a man-made disaster than a natural disaster. The Water Conservancy Supervisor of the Ministry of Works was indeed corrupt and derelict in his duty, allowing people to build a dam with sand and mud. As a result, when the flood came, it was impossible to stop it.

The Emperor was furious about this matter and asked me to investigate it thoroughly. Unfortunately, the Water Conservancy Supervisor of the Ministry of Works could not bear the punishment and both he and his wife committed suicide. I have not had time to find the account book of the Water Conservancy Supervisor of the Ministry of Works, or where the money he embezzled went.

The Emperor was very concerned about this case and sent Shangshu Wang from the Ministry of Works to the court. However, taking into account the complicated relationships among the aristocratic families and the lack of evidence to prove that Shangshu Wang had directly intervened in the Yellow River dike bursting case, the Emperor ordered his subordinates not to punish Shangshu Wang.

The case has been delayed for some time. I am afraid that if time goes on, the money will be transferred away, so I have no choice but to ask the Emperor to intervene personally.

The emperor’s power is unpredictable, and Minister Wang confessed after seeing the emperor.

The emperor was furious after reading Minister Wang's confession. Minister Wang wrote three full pages about the officials and meritorious nobles involved in it.

This matter is of great importance. The emperor means that if all the people on the list are dealt with impartially, it may cause turmoil in the court, but this is not a reason for those people to go unpunished.

The emperor wants to keep it a secret for now, and let you and I work together to find the people on the list one by one and find a way to make them return all the money."
