Chu Lingyue, the third prince of the Daiying Kingdom and the son of Concubine Guo, was second only to the prince in the favor of the Holy Emperor.

Those who coveted the throne of the prince regarded the sick and weak prince as a thorn in their flesh and wished they could replace him.

He didn't panic at all when the Holy Master suddenly called him by his name. He took half a step forward without any surprise, revealing a face that was resolute but with a hint of femininity.

"Back to my father, I believe that the key to repairing the Yongshou Palace lies with the Ministry of Household Affairs. As for what Tie Shangshu said about the empty treasury, I have a way to explain it."

Chu Qin's tone of surprise was mixed with a hint of relief, and his eyes looking at Aiko were full of encouragement.

"My minister believes that the delay in collecting the tax arrears in various places is due to Mr. Tie's lack of ability. The position of Minister of the Ministry of Revenue should be filled by someone who is capable."

"The Third Prince's words are a bit biased. As we all know, Mr. Tie has been working hard and working hard since he took up the post of Minister of Household Affairs. Although he has no great achievements, he has no faults. It would be a bit unkind to dismiss him from the official position like this."

The speaker was Shanwu, the only general with military power in the Liuying Kingdom.

Shanwu was eight feet tall, with a strong back and a strong waist. He was an upright person with a clear mind. He was also the most powerful and loyal follower of the prince.

In his life, he despised the intrigues and villains the most, especially the third prince who always targeted the prince.

He knew very well what Chu Lingyue had in mind when she said what she just said.

The Ministry of Household Affairs is in charge of the country's economic power and must not be reduced to a money bag for some people who compete for fame and fortune.

Although Tie Hongji's ability is not outstanding, he is more upright and honest, so he must not let the third prince's conspiracy succeed.

Tie Hongji calmly cast a grateful look at him. After all, not everyone had the courage to offend the third prince who was in the limelight in person.

"What Qing Shan'ai said is true. Yue'er's proposal is indeed a bit childish, but it is not completely without merit."

"The Holy One is wise." The flattery of Shi Kelang, the official minister, made Chu Qin very satisfied.

"Shi Aiqing, do you have any ideas?"

"Going back to your Majesty, I think we can let the Ministry of Revenue allocate funds first, so that the Ministry of Work and Rites can prepare for the repair of Yongshou Hall. Then Tie Shangshu will organize the officials of the Ministry of Revenue to go to various places to collect taxes and money according to the situation."

"This way, the Queen Mother's birthday will not be delayed.

Secondly, it can solve the problem of tax arrears in various places and effectively replenish the national treasury.

Thirdly, we will not really ignore those places that are suffering from disasters and difficulties, and it can better reflect the love of the Holy Spirit in the hearts of the people."

Chu Qin nodded in affirmation: "What do you think, my dear friends?"

When Anlehou saw Qin Chu looking at him, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "I think this method of Shi Shangshu is feasible."

"Where are the others? Do you have any different opinions?"

The third prince looked at General Good, with a proud smile on his lips, and undisguised provocation in his eyes.

The good general was furious, but he had no legitimate reason to oppose Shi Kelang's proposal.

After the morning court, Tie Hongji returned to the Ministry of Revenue with a heavy responsibility.

As the left minister of the Ministry of Revenue, Qin Mufeng gave full play to his high-spirited and upright character and let other colleagues choose the area of ​​his choice first. In the end, he was "forced to choose" Xuzhou, which no one wanted to go to.

"Mu Feng, then I'll have to make a trip to Xuzhou."

Qin Mufeng didn't feel guilty at all when faced with Tie Shangshu's apologetic look: "Master Tie is serious in his words. He is doing things for the Holy Lord without any grievance."

Tie Shangshu: "He is worthy of being the most talented man in the Kingdom of Liuying. You all should learn from him."

Everyone: "Yes!"

"You have a heavy responsibility here, and the tax calls to the bank must be reasonable and legal.

We will be ruthless against those places that have the ability but deliberately default on their tax arrears, and there will be no mercy."

"Of course, for those severely affected areas, detailed investigations and verifications must be carried out and clear records must be kept."

…

Xuzhou is located in a mountainous area more than 300 kilometers south of Lijing. The people there are strong and fierce, and it is surrounded by mountains. The so-called poor mountains and harsh waters lead to unruly people.

This is also the reason why all the officials from the Ministry of Revenue keep away from it and no one wants to come.

Yun Xisheng sat helplessly on the carriage and made the final struggle: "Qin Mufeng, you are the one who has the mission. There is really no need to drag my whole family along with me."

Qin Mufeng gently took off her fingers one by one from the car door.

"Qin Er, let's go."

"No, you... public is public, private is private. It's not good for people to know that you carry private goods, it will affect your future." Yun Xi said righteously, as if I was doing it for your own good.

"It doesn't matter! It's a long way to go, and my husband is really worried about leaving you alone in the Marquis's mansion."

Just kidding, if it weren't for her, it would be enough to just send Dark Dragon's people to investigate a small case in Xuzhou. Would he have to go around such a big circle and go there in person?

"...No, why don't you let me say hello to the Yun family and Bai Chen before leaving?" As for being so anxious?

"Madam, you don't know. My husband is on a business trip this time and I have a tight schedule. I don't dare to waste time."

"But don't worry, I have already asked the butler to take care of what you just said before departure."

Qin Mufeng has a clear mind, and everything he says is reasonable and coherent, making it impossible for anyone to find a single fault.

Yun Xi didn't know why, but she felt that something was wrong. She couldn't think of anything to say to persuade him, so she followed him on the road with a look of resentment.

It wasn't until soon after that she saw the well-prepared gifts and supplies hidden in the carriage that she suddenly understood.

She pointed to the thing she had just turned out and looked directly into his eyes: "What happened suddenly? No time to prepare? Huh?" Haha! You really can't believe what the dog man said.

The smile on Qin Mufeng's face froze for a moment: I was careless!

"...If I said, these are all coincidences, would you believe it?"

"I don't believe you! You clearly had a plan ahead of time."

"Okay, I did do it on purpose. You only gave me three months, and I don't want you to waste your time on returning to Yun's house and meeting Bai Chen." Is that wrong?

Yun Xi suddenly lost her temper. This realization made her lose all her good mood in an instant, and she began to worry about her wavering heart.

Qin Mufeng panicked when he saw that her face was not very good-looking. He felt a little uncomfortable and at the same time he became more determined in his choice.

Thinking of what he overheard that day, he steeled himself and made a bold decision.

"Actually...I was there when you met Bai Chen yesterday."

Yun Xi frowned slightly: "You were following me? That's not right, we were there at the time."

When she said this, she suddenly remembered something, and suddenly her eyes widened and she looked at him in disbelief: "You are the person eavesdropping on the roof?!"

"it's me."

The air fell into a deathly silence again. Yun Xi looked at him with complicated eyes, thinking over and over in her mind whether she had said anything wrong.

"Xi'er, are you telling the truth when you say you regard him as your brother?"
