County Magistrate Zhou continued to speak, his eyes peeking at Tuoba Jing's face.

However, with his level of intelligence, how could he see through Tuoba Jing's feelings?

Tuoba Jing's lips curled up into a smile. He thought that his silver had taken effect, and slowly turned to action, then continued: ”I don't know what Seventh Prince's appetite is, it's just that I must still remember this favor Seventh Prince has given me. In fact, in the end, we are still a family! ”

”Oh? ”Family?” This time, Tuoba Jing was serious. If this was really someone that belonged to Su Moyun —

He had to deal with this disaster thoroughly, so as to not delay Moyun's future.

”The time for Seventh Prince to marry the young miss of the Prime Minister's Residence is just around the corner, the young official is also pleasantly surprised, I can only brazenly think of asking the Prime Minister's in-laws for a drink!”

Thinking about it, because he had not read for a few days, County Magistrate Zhou started to panic, and started to randomly use the idiom, regardless of its meaning, he will first explain it before mentioning it.

As County Magistrate Zhou said this, he straightened his waist and muttered to himself non-stop: ”This official is unfortunate, he is the younger brother-in-law of the Prime Minister's Mansion!”

”It seems that all your silver has been given to the Prime Minister's Estate.” Tuoba Jing sneered, he picked up the silver notes on the table and flicked it a few times, looking extremely serious.

Although she did not know where the rumors came from, if Su Moyun heard the rumors and ignored them, wouldn't he not be able to explain her wrongdoings?

It wasn't easy for him to get closer to Su Moyun, so what was the Prime Minister's Palace doing here?

In an instant, the loathing towards the Prime Minister's residence in Tuoba Jing's heart rose to another level.

”Seventh Prince has misunderstood, how can I have any silver? ”He's just a good official with two sleeves and a light breeze. Even when you see my official uniform, you still see that it's worn out!” County Magistrate Zhou stood up and pointed to a patch on his knee, he did not know if it was just put in, but it was a bit out of place on the brand-new official uniform.

Only County Magistrate Zhou felt that he could hide it like this.

Tuoba Jing unhurriedly poured himself a cup of tea and lightly sipped on it. He raised his eyes to look at the extremely proud County Magistrate Zhou and said softly: ”Did I wake you up?”

It was clearly just a few light words, and Tuoba Jing was even smiling, but for some reason, County Magistrate Zhou felt a chill behind his back, and did not dare to say a single word. With a thump, he kneeled onto the ground, and lowered his head, unable to squeeze out a single word.

”Tell me, where did all the money you've collected over the years go?” Three years in Qingzhi County, a hundred thousand taels of snow silver. It was easy to get some money when one was seated on an official's seat.

If he knew how to restrain himself, then it would be fine, but some people were greedy and would need more silver after that, so he actually planned on stocking up on starvation. In the end, he managed to lure Tuoba Jing, the God of Slaughter, over.

”How can I have any silver!” This little official's days are as clear as water. Forget about silver, I don't even have rice to drink from a porridge. I am so poor that even the sound of tinkling water could be heard. If he really told Tuoba Jing about the location of the silver, he would be dead for sure, the people in the Prime Minister's residence would definitely not let him off.

Tuoba Jing smiled and nodded, he extended his hand and grabbed the teacup, and the teacup immediately broke.

He held the broken piece in front of his eyes for a few moments, then lowered his head to look at County Magistrate Zhou who was on the ground, and softly asked. ”I'll give you one more chance.

Tuoba Jing never requested for evidence before, even if it involved the Prime Minister, he would report it directly to the Emperor when he returned. As for what the Emperor was going to do, that was up to the Emperor.
