”Minister”
”Sir Hu”
Hu the Scholar's face was filled with a slight smile as he welcoating the Ministry of Revenue all gathered around and expressed their condolences to the recovered MinisterThe Minister of Appointshu, was not an exceptionHis old face was filled with sincere concern and worryThe Overwatch Council investigating officials had carefully helped block Minister Fan froer to learn whether or not the court was truly investigating the Ministry of RevenueDid the E as Fan Jian was in court, and the Eas Fan Xian was still alive, no official in the court dared to treat Minister Fan lightly
Thus, the current scenario had a preposterous sense of coated, was instead being asked after by everyone and carefully protected, particularly the investigating officials from the Overwatch CouncilLed by Mu Tie, the First Bureau had always been, and still was, the yaedHe was their superior's father, so how could they dare to do otherwise?
The Crown Prince's face turned green then whiteWatching the scene in front of hireat sense of unease welled in his heartFan Jian had claimed illness for many days and did not come to the Ministry of RevenueToday he had arrived and seeazeThis usually secretive and unassu official seemed to have some kind aura around hi Kingdoly stand upA warly said, ”Minister, are you feeling better?”
The Crown Prince was not afraid of Fan Xian, and he did not care about the Overwatch CouncilAs one of the royal faon chair, it was necessary for him to show a certain respectThe old Fan family and their old Li family's relationshi+p was too deepIn Danzhou, there was still the old wo from a distanceThe Emperor was not sure how his father felt toward that wet nurse
Fan Jian gave an ashamed san because of hness and Sir Hu had to tire yourselvesIt is truly ed some pleasantries, and each returned to their own seatsAlthough Fan Jian belonged to the side being investigated, there had been no publicthe Minister of RevenueHeanyone take over his position
This was the Ministry of RevenueThis was Fan Jian's territory
…
…
After everything had recovered its peace, only then did everyone turn their gazes to the vice-director Fan Li
No everyone's eyes were the sashu's were filled with schadenfreudeThe Crown Prince was hesitatingHu the Scholar was coldThe Overwatch Council officials watched with furrowed eyebrowsOnly Minister Fan's face was peaceful as if he never had the thought about howLi could is, the Crow Prince had understood everythingFan Jian was a shaan to investigate the Ministry of Revenue…actually, it began a few years ago when the Crown Prince had stretched out his and for a loanFa Jian had coldly and clearly saw this scene, and then had used ruthless methods to quietly suppress theso, he had purposely left a nondescript and unassuently shaken, it would land on one of the seven departments
Thus, not only had he helped the Crown Prince hide it, he also got hold of soainst hi also hides the officials on the Crown Prince's sideFroness and was covered up unnaturally wellSo well, that even Fang Li thought there wouldn't be any proble to it was the collapse of the Board of Rites and the Crown Prince's trace of stupidity
Only Fan Jian was clear about the entire process, and he was unusually shrewd and ruthlessHe didn't directly throw this out to attack his enemy, rather, he placed the loose thread in the wild and left a slight traceFor example, the winter clothes the soldiers wore in the Northern snow and coe an to investigate the Ministry of Revenue, they found this loose thread and began to gently tugIn the, they pulled out their own beltThis was a ploy that had been planted for years
Fan Jian did not have to do anythingHe only had to wait until he was being threatened and create so-forgotten belt with strengthIt was a good ploy
The investigation targeting the Board of Rites had already begunAlthough after Guo You was strangled in the ie of personnelThe docu abilities of the court's investigating unit and Overwatch Council's meticulous search, the transfer form the Board of Rites had made out and receipts the Ministry of Revenue had always secretly kept wereof silver had indeed been sent to the Board of RitesThe question here had the Board of Rites sent the 400,000 liang that had been split into 14 batches to repair the autumn exa patrolled the various places under heaven and afterward joined the Hall of Governmental AffairsHe knew that the various student residences in the various provinces and Roads were still ra and broken downMany of the autu rainThus, his expression becalierHe asked the Board of Rites' official in front of hio to?”
Hu the Scholar turned his body slightlyHe glanced at the Crown Prince and sighed
Everyone in the hall are of the situation in the court a few years agoThe Board of Rites had always been the Eastern Palace's back garden and did not have the daring to falsely request 400,000 liang and spend itEveryone could guess that this cache of silver must have flowed toward the Eastern PalaceSince it has been traced to the Eastern Palace, it seemed that it was difficult to proceed with the matter
Hu the Scholarprobleate the whereabouts of this 400,000 liang of silver”
The Crown Prince felt his heart juical”
Mu Tie of the First Bureau of the Overwatch Council did not have the privilege to sit beside these officials, so he was standing to the sideHe looked at Fan Jian's expressionHe suddenly opened his mouth”The silver did reach the Board of Rites, however, the official that handled this matter died in the autumn examination case the year before last”
The Crown Prince was silentGuo You was deadGuo Baokun was goneNow the Overwatch Council had confirmed the death of the person who had handled this matterEven if the Eldest Princess' side knew that he had so of silver, they would not be able to find any evidence to give to Hu the Scholar, so his was slightly reassuredAlthough reassured, he still couldn't help feeling a bit sorrowful and angryAunt! Why did you do this?
Unexpectedly, Mu Tie's next words h the Crown Prince's heart
He only heard him say, ”But, there are always traces to be foundScholar, do you think the Overwatch Council should go investigate the Board of Rites?”
Investigate the Board of Rites?
Everyone in the hall was startledHe wanted these wolves and tigers of the Overwatch Council to investigate the Board of Rites? The court investigating the Ministry of Revenue would clearly ryIf the Overwatch Council investigated the Board of Rites under Sir Fan junior's control, the poor officials of the Board of Rites ht not survive
However, Mu Tie's request seemed appropriate
Fan Jian slowly stroked his beardHis face was expressionless but he was thinking that the brain of this trusted aide of An Zhi's seeuess my intentions
Fan Jian's intentions were simpleIf the Ministry of Revenue wanted to protect itself, it had to drag out the battle lines and pull inAfter all six ministries had problems found with them, the extremely wise Emperor couldn't remove all six lanced at Fan Jian and felt great admiration for this old foxHe quickly shook his head and rejected the idea”The court explicitly stated to investigate the Ministry of RevenueIt would not be good for the ripples to extend too far”
Fan Jian smiled superficially and said, ”Makes sense…makes sense”
Everyone could hear the shu's face flushed redHe knew his objection made no sense since the Ministry of Revenue's deficit iated
Hu the Scholar's expression was also very painedTrying to mollify the situation he said, ”Let's discuss a bit o and asked for an iate the Board of Rites, then in the end it would certainly come to the Crown PrinceBefore they went to the palace and asked for the edict, as the leader of the investigating officials, Hu the Scholar did not dare ritted his teeth and said, ”The matter of the Board of Rites will eventually have to be investigatedHowever, there has to be an orderThe matter of the Ministry of Revenue deficit has not yet been resolvedIf the investigation is expanded too broadly, it will likely be an obstruction to His Majesty's edict”
Fan Jian rehness hed in his heart and said, ”For the o the Palace later to listen respectfully to the imperial wishesWe will follow the Crown Prince's wishes and continue with the investigation of the Ministry of Revenue”
…
…
If the investigation continued, there would certainly be more problems found with the Ministry of RevenueThat 400,000 was just the tip of the icebergThe Crown Prince did not believe the Fan family could be so clean in the Ministry of Revenue
