My father is Jiajing

Chapter 252 Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng is not a good person

After hearing what Sun Yingkui said, Hai Rui's brows furrowed visibly, and he obviously also heard Sun Yingkui's intention to procrastinate.

If I really leave like this, I will definitely not see a penny of the money.

So you can't leave!

Hai Rui said, "Please ask the Minister to tell me clearly when the Ministry of Revenue can give the Ministry of Works the money for the capital expansion that was supposed to be given to the Ministry of Works. The prince has ordered me to supervise this matter, so I cannot return with an ambiguous answer."

Hai Rui was immediately choked by Sun Yingkui's words. He had been an official for so many years and had never been blocked at the door by anyone to ask for payment. Now that he was suddenly blocked by Hai Rui, he was a little at a loss for a moment.

After a while, Sun Yingkui finally got over the embarrassment of being blocked at the door, and said, "The person in charge of the expansion of the capital city who is in charge of connecting with the Ministry of Works is Fang Dun, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Revenue. You go find him."

Although Hai Rui did not ask for the money, as soon as he heard what Sun Yingkui said, he knew that this was Sun Yingkui's excuse. Once he really left Sun Yingkui and went to Fang Dun, Fang Dun would definitely pass the buck and pass the matter on to someone else.

In this way, when Hai Rui came back to find Sun Yingkui, Sun Yingkui would definitely disappear, and he would never see him again.

Even if the money arrives by then, it will inevitably delay the construction of the capital's expansion, and it may not be the full amount.

Therefore, today Sun Yingkui must give a definite letter or write a note, otherwise Hai Rui will never leave easily.

Hai Rui said, "Your subordinate can go to see Minister Fang, but I am no longer an official of the Ministry of Revenue. If I go to see Minister Fang without the order of the Minister of Finance, it may be difficult for Minister Fang to open the treasury and hand over to the Ministry of Works. Therefore, I dare to ask the Minister of Finance to write a warrant for me so that I can contact Minister Fang."

Sun Yingkui immediately showed some anger when he heard Hai Rui's words, "Don't tell me you still don't believe me?"

Looking at Sun Yingkui who suddenly got angry, Hai Rui was not afraid at all and still had that calm feeling.

Hai Rui bowed to Sun Yingkui and said, "Please ask the Minister to write an order for me, otherwise I will not be able to communicate with Minister Fang."

Sun Yingkui felt a pain in his heart when he saw Hai Rui being so stubborn. He was a minister of six ministries, but he couldn't even gain the trust of a small judge in a royal palace, and a temporary judge at that.

Sun Yingkui said angrily, "Hai Rui, you are too presumptuous! I have good intentions in telling you the way, but you are here to use me as a pretext? What kind of rules are you following?"

Sun Yingkui's angry voice immediately attracted a large group of Ministry of Revenue officials who were eavesdropping outside.

The officials from the Ministry of Revenue who were lying on the wall heard Sun Yingkui's angry voice, and they all showed excited expressions.

"Come on, come on! Hai Rui and Zhong Cheng are fighting!"

These people were not satisfied with just listening to it themselves, and quickly called other colleagues to lie down against the wall and listen together, just to watch the fun.

For a moment, everyone in the Ministry of Revenue excitedly put down their work and lay down outside Sun Yingkui's office in layers, listening to the noise inside.

Facing Sun Yingkui's fury, Hai Rui said calmly, "Secretary, according to the Ministry of Revenue regulations, any amount of money exceeding 5,000 taels must be signed and sealed by the Secretary before it can be entered or taken out of the Ministry of Revenue's vault. The capital's expansion project costs a huge sum of 1 million taels of silver. If Minister Fang dares to take an official in and out of the vault without the Secretary's order, he will be punished with death!"

"Does the Zhongcheng intend to disregard the Ministry of Revenue's rules and treat the national treasury as his own property and use it verbally at will?"

Hai Rui brought up the Ministry of Revenue's rules and regulations again, and Sun Yingkui was speechless all of a sudden. He could only point at Hai Rui in anger and yell, "You you you..."

Hai Rui remained unmoved and continued to ask, "Please tell me clearly, Minister!"

Sun Yingkui yelled angrily, "How dare you!"

When the officials of the Ministry of Revenue standing near the wall outside the office heard Sun Yingkui's angry scream, they all nodded involuntarily, and then raised their thumbs tacitly.

They all seemed to admire Hai Rui, who was in Sun Yingkui's room at the moment, and completely forgot the fear they had experienced in the past year when they were under the control of the Ministry of Revenue regulations while Hai Rui was observing and learning politics. "This Hai Rui is really fierce! How dare he treat the Minister of Justice like this!"

"Yeah, I didn't expect that. I thought he knew his limits and wouldn't do that to Zhong Cheng, but I didn't expect that I was so short-sighted."

A group of people outside were whispering about the current confrontation between Hai Rui and Sun Yingkui.

Hai Rui remained unmoved after being yelled at by Sun Yingkui, and was not intimidated at all by the powerful Shangshu's aura.

Hai Rui still said to Sun Yingkui in a dignified manner: "Would you please follow the Ministry of Revenue's rules and write a decree for me, and use the Ministry of Revenue's seal as proof?"

Sun Yingkui was almost driven to vomit blood by Hai Rui. He knew that in the previous year, many treasurers in the Ministry of Revenue had been disciplined by Hai Rui using various Ministry of Revenue regulations, and these people had come to him to complain.

At that time, he just sighed softly and said a few bland words of comfort as if it had nothing to do with him. But he never expected that Hai Rui would do this to him the next day after he left the Ministry of Revenue.

At this moment, Sun Yingkui finally understood the sadness of those officials in the Ministry of Revenue who were controlled by Hai Rui with rules.

Sun Yingkui snorted and said angrily, "No money! The Ministry of Revenue has no money! Even if I wrote you a warrant and used the seal of the Ministry of Revenue, do you think you can transfer the silver from the silver vault? The silver of the Ministry of Revenue has been spent long ago, and the Taicang Silver Vault is now an empty silver vault!"

When the people outside the house heard Sun Yingkui's almost rogue roar, they couldn't help but reveal admiring looks. They had been officials for so many years, but they had never heard of anyone who could force the six ministers to this point.

But Hai Rui did it.

Facing such a scoundrel like Sun Yingkui, Hai Rui remained unmoved and said, "Minister, please be careful with your words! If the Taicang silver vault really becomes an empty vault, do you know what the consequences will be? I am just following the rules, please forgive me."

After saying this, Hai Rui bowed again.

This bow made Sun Yingkui stand there in a daze, and a feeling of powerlessness suddenly arose in his heart.

Sun Yingkui said, "Whatever. I admit defeat, okay? I'll write you a warrant and give it to the Ministry of User Affairs for stamping. Is that all?"

In the end, Hai Rui still said in a serious tone: "Zhongcheng is helping me according to the rules. How can you say I admit defeat? Zhongcheng, please don't use such words."

Sun Yingkui was finally taught a lesson by Hai Rui. At this moment, he really regretted how he could be so mean and talk so much nonsense.

It would have been better to write him a warrant and use the seal earlier and let him go find Fang Dun. There are still many procedures to go through later. Why do I have to argue with him about these things here?
Sun Yingkui spread out a piece of paper from the Ministry of Revenue, then picked up a pen and began to write an order for Hai Rui. After he finished writing with a flourish, he immediately searched for the Ministry of Revenue seal beside him and prepared to use it.

As a result, he accidentally dropped the copy of "Jin Ping Mei" he was reading onto the ground, and as luck would have it, a page of erotic illustrations was facing upwards, and it was exposed in front of Hai Rui.

Hai Rui glanced at her briefly, then immediately looked away, not wanting to look at her inappropriately.

Sun Yingkui quickly picked it up and closed it, then hastily stamped the warrant and handed it to Hai Rui, saying as if to drive him away, "Go away!"

Hai Rui put away the warrant and bowed slightly, "Thank you, Minister."

Then, just before Hai Rui left, he said to Sun Yingkui with concern: "Zhongcheng, you must take care of your health and don't overwork yourself."

Just like that, Hai Rui left Sun Yingkui's office, leaving Sun Yingkui standing there awkwardly with a red face, tightly clutching the embarrassing copy of "Jin Ping Mei" in his hand.

Sun Yingkui was furious and said, "This Lanling Xiaoxiaosheng is really a piece of shit. He actually wrote such an obscene book. He is unworthy of being a scholar!"
