Chapter 6 — Brother Poinsettia Forced Me to Replace Him as Official

Then, this reigning Poinsettia, a genius who only took three years to enter the Cabinet, the youngest Minister in the Cabinet —— Slowly sat up, without any change on his face, and said one sentence very calmly:

"Oh, what about that? I haven't started the investigation yet."

My reason immediately stopped.

"Tham Tri Hanh! Are you still human? You asked me to take your place in the court, but I haven't even done my official duties? You want to kill me, right?"

Older brother raised his hand to rub his temples, looking innocent:

"I thought I could just stand there and listen today, but who knew His Majesty would call the roll——"

"You are an important official in the court, but don't you know that you will be called?!"

I grabbed the inkstone on the table and immediately wanted to throw it at him. He turned around to avoid it, stood up and brushed off his clothes, finally looking a bit serious.

"Okay, okay, don't rush."

He walked to the bookshelf and conveniently pulled out a book.

"The Household Ministry's books, two days ago I ordered someone to copy a copy, I just haven't looked at it yet."

"So now you watch it right away!"

"What's the hurry?"

He opened the book, glanced at a few lines, his fingertips skimmed over a few numbers, and suddenly smiled faintly. I immediately stopped by:

"What's going on?"

"The Household Minister Qi Wenyuan, there is a problem with the relief funds he has been responsible for in the past three years, the books are completely inconsistent."

He conveniently crossed a few numbers.

"On the surface, it looks like a place where there was a loss, but in reality, that money never left the capital at all."

"Come on, tomorrow you'll come to court in my place for another day. You just need to present this copy."

"Will you still go tomorrow?!"

"Even days."

What he said was extremely eloquent and very reasonable. I took a deep breath. Take another deep breath.

"Tham Tri Hanh, I tell you, this is the last time."

He nodded like a chicken pecking rice:

"The last time, absolutely the last time."

I believe he is strange. The next day, I brought the report written by my brother Tham Tri Hanh and once again stood in Kim Loan Palace. This time I came prepared, my heart was much more stable, and I was no longer nervous and scared like the previous times. Sure enough, His Majesty called out again:

"Tham Tri Hanh, has the case of the Ministry of Health come to fruition yet?"

I raised my head and puffed out my chest, respectfully presented the report with both hands, imitated my brother's obnoxious but "everything is in the palm of your hand" look, and said in a resounding voice:

"Your Majesty, I have investigated clearly. The Household Minister Qi Van Uyen, in the past three years, in the name of natural disaster relief, secretly kept 170,000 taels of white silver. This money has never left the capital from beginning to end, all of it flowed into three commercial stores under his name -—"

We read each article one by one, item by item, and continue reading down. Read extremely fluently, every sentence and every word is strong and clear, echoing throughout the main hall. The whole court was silent. The face of the Household Minister Te Van Uyen changed from red to white, from white to blue, from blue to purple, as unique as a color palette. His Majesty was extremely happy, and immediately patted the dragon's sentence:

"Good! Tham Tri Hanh certainly did not disappoint my expectations!"

In my heart, joy blooms. Although it's a merit This is not mine. But this acting is mine! Just as I was preparing to attack the city and retreat, quietly leaving, trying to stay as discreet as possible, when ——

"Master Shen."

A voice rang out from behind. That voice was as gentle as jade, but it carried some brooding and some incomprehensible teasing. I turned my head, facing a pair of peach blossom eyes filled with laughter. The person who came was wearing a dark red official robe and a jade belt on his waist. What should I say about his appearance? So beautiful that it doesn't look like a normal person.
