Chapter 967 Queen Mother 7
As long as something happened to him or her, he would push others to block the knife, no matter how serious the other person suffered, he would not care at all.
Suddenly being named, Zhou Si was shocked, and he lowered his eyebrows and said with a pleasing look: "Empress, the Ministry of Revenue Affairs is complicated. You are anxious. I think it will take a few days to completely sort it out."
"Oh?" Jiang Chan raised her eyebrows: "I think Mr. Zhou is busy with so many things every day? Why did I hear that Mr. Zhou was still enjoying flowers in Huicui Pavilion last night?"
"Mr. Zhou, the flowers in Huicuige must be particularly extraordinary." The British Duke stroked his beard, "I just neglected the matters given by the Empress, and did not take the orders of the Empress to heart because of this."
Zhou Si knelt down with a pounce: "Empress forgive me, it is because the empress has not done his best..."
Jiang Chan smiled: "It's okay, Lord Zhou is busy, Ai's family is trying to share the worries of Lord Zhou. Eunuch Xu, you will take five or six people to the Ministry of Revenue, and you will sort out all the documents and data of the Ministry of Revenue this afternoon and send them to the Imperial Study Room.
.”
"As for Lord Zhou," Jiang Chan thought: "I guess Lord Zhou was confused by the fans of Huicuige yesterday. His old eyes were blurred and he couldn't see the numbers clearly. So I'll go home and rest for a few days. When will I start and listen to the sorrow again?
Home arrangements.”
Zhou Si hurriedly kowtowed: "Grandmaster forgive me, I know that I am wrong, I wish you forgive me!"
Jiang Chan suddenly corrected her face: "Mr. Zhou, what I don't like most in my life is mediocrity and inaction. If you want to sit firmly in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, you can show your real talent and work hard. I'll always be in front of the Ai family.
What is crying poor?”
"As an official, I haven't completed the things I told the Shangfeng, but I have time to go to Huicui Pavilion. How can such a person stay in an important position as the Minister of Revenue?"
Jiang Chan spoke mercilessly. If this happened to civil servants in modern times, the establishment would be cancelled in minutes. How could it be like now? It would be a romantic thing to say?
"Drag it down!" Seeing Zhou Si lying on the ground, Jiang Chan smiled slightly, picked up the Buddhist beads again, looking particularly harmonious.
After Jiang Chan took Eunuch Xu away, the remaining officials shrank their necks together: "How many are this?"
The young empress dowager was jailed and searched the house after a disagreement. The young empress dowager looked kind, but her methods were not gentle at all. When she thought about Zhou Si going to Huicui Pavilion last night, she knew that the empress dowager had a lot of eyeliners.
Seeing Zhou Si being dragged down while wailing, Jiang Chan did not immediately arrange the position of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, but instead, the former Minister of the Ministry of Revenue Lu Jing, took the lead. This position is too important, she must find a good candidate.
Anime.
In the afternoon, Eunuch Xu brought about a dozen eunuchs to the Ministry of Revenue and copied all the stacks of account books according to the Arabic numerals taught by Jiang Chan.
In the evening, all the accounts piled up on the desk were delivered to the Imperial Study Room.
Jiang Chan opened her eyes and couldn't help but sneer. She was more professional in making fake accounts, and some things could be seen at a glance. For example, whose eggs are so expensive, one tael of silver per person?
Thanks to his strong mental calculation ability, Jiang Chan had an answer after reading the account book. Eunuch Xu and the little eunuchs were busy all afternoon, and Jiang Chan finished reading them all at around 7 o'clock in the evening.
Qingzhu came over and rubbed her shoulders: "Grandma, let's take a break."
"Don't worry." Jiang Chan leaned on the chair, "Eunuch Xu, send all the Ai family on this side to the Ministry of Revenue. He will give the past memorials and honest explanations. Otherwise, he will send it to the Ministry of Justice directly."
Looking at the account books that were as high as a hill, only a few books were left aside, Eunuch Xu couldn't help but be amazed. Is the Ministry of Revenue going to be a major cleanup this time?
"Yes, Empress!" He called more than ten eunuchs and carried the accounts back to the Ministry of Revenue. The officials of the Ministry of Revenue were all there. After all, Zhou Si had just been beaten during the day, and few people dared to go back now.
.
Even if they were pretending, they were all pretending to be diligent. Seeing Eunuch Xu bringing the eunuchs over, Lu Jing walked over quickly: "I wonder if my father-in-law came here so late, what important things should he give?"
Eunuch Xu shook the whisk: "Our family has nothing to say, I hope, these are all sent by the empress after seeing them. The empress told me to tell you honestly what you are enclosed, otherwise you will go to the Ministry of Justice.
The prison said go!"
As soon as these words were said, several officials' expressions changed. They picked up the account book on it, and the purpose was to get one or two silver dollars. They were specially wrapped up by Jiang Chan, and the official's expression became even more bitter.
This is why he also saw that it was inappropriate. Which eggs are so expensive, one tael of silver per person? But this matter was caught by the Queen Mother. Isn’t this a ready-made braid to give people?
Seeing these people's expressions constantly, Eunuch Xu said with a sharp voice: "The Empress has told me that if I confess myself, the Empress is magnanimous and if I still hide it, the Ministry of Justice will be idle."
Is the Ministry of Justice idle? The Ministry of Justice is not idle at all. Liu Cheng, with a group of officials from the Ministry of Justice, has been busy dealing with the cases of Wei Furen and others since yesterday.
There is evidence given by Jiang Chan, and the list of accounts and gold, silver and jewelry found from Wei Furen and others' homes, which is indeed conclusive.
So to now, the Ministry of Justice is still working overtime, intending to pry open the mouths of Wei Furen and other rats, so they will definitely not be able to take away any secrets.
After seeing off Eunuch Xu, officials from the Ministry of Revenue were full of bitterness.
Lu Jing frowned. He was the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He had been suppressed by Zhou Si for so many years and could not stand out. Unexpectedly, Zhou Si was beaten up once. He temporarily served as the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. He must take advantage of this time to do a good job.
Performance.
Yesterday, Jiang Chan promoted a new official and he realized that the Empress Dowager promoted officials who were down-to-earth and practical. This was an opportunity, and he must seize it.
Besides, for so many years, just because he is not from the Left Prime Minister, if he hadn't been upright, he would have been unable to survive in the court.
Seeing that the other officials' faces were blue and white, Lu Jing sighed: "Let's deal with the matter at hand, the empress is kind-hearted. If everyone explains it clearly, it won't be very serious.
The consequences.”
He looked through the account book sent by Jiang Chan and others, and made comments during the period, all of which were all pointed out. He had to think about some unreasonable aspects, but he didn't expect that the empress dowager would point it out.
At night, the officials of the Ministry of Revenue did not go back all night, and their eyes were red. Before Jiang Chan came to court, Eunuch Xu sent a stack of memorials: "Empress, this is the memorial that the Ministry of Revenue just sent.
.”
