After the failed attempt to pretend to be dead, the sickly child was favored by the treacherous mini

The impeachment of several key officials in the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War during two consecutive morning court sessions had left most officials in this divine city confused.

Especially since the news of a great victory in the anti-Japanese war in the east was just reported not long ago, the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue should have been meritorious officials. How come several officials were impeached one after another?

For an emperor who loves money and has a strong desire for control, those who can become key ministers in the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War must be people who are deeply trusted by Xia Hong.

Even in the minds of the civil and military officials in the court, rather than saying that the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War were in charge of the national treasury and the world's military power, it would be better to say that they served as the stewards and guards of Xia Hong's private treasury.

Which family head is so kind that he would suddenly attack his housekeeper and guard whom he has always trusted?

Even though they couldn't figure out the whole story, it didn't stop the civil and military officials in the court from guessing that this god would bring about a huge hurricane.

No one can guarantee whether they are involved.

The city of Luoan has never had any permanent friends, nor any permanent enemies.

The matter is now being investigated by Shen Jinmo, which proves that Shen Jinmo, who has recovered and returned, has even more power in his hands.

It is so big that it can directly affect the two core departments of the imperial court.

Judging from Shen Jinmo's past style of doing things, anyone who passes through Shen Jinmo's hands will either die or become disabled.

These officials who wanted to kill Shen Jinmo last year now pretended to be indifferent and unwilling to go along with him, but they were secretly sending those rare and precious things to Xie's house one after another.

They didn't ask Shen Jinmo to explain the whole process, they just wanted to know whether they would be involved.

After all, who among the civil and military officials in the court doesn’t have some connection with money?

If Shen Jinmo could reveal some information that could help them get through this disaster safely, it would be worth any price.

But who knew that just as they delivered the gifts to Xie's house, they thought they would be able to meet Shen Jinmo soon, but Shen Jinmo delivered the gifts to Xia Hong without moving them.

He didn't say who bribed him, only that Xie Nanxing felt sorry for the hard work of the soldiers on the front line and hoped to give them more meat.

As for whether these rare treasures can eventually fall into the hands of the frontline soldiers, that is Xia Hong's business.

But Shen Jinmo's own attitude towards this matter has been made clear.

Shen Jinmo is now absolutely subordinate to Xia Hong. He will not do anything behind Xia Hong's back, not even accepting a gift from a court official.

And in Xia Hong's eyes, this matter had another meaning.

Real power is more attractive to Shen Jinmo than gold and silver.

Although all the gold and silver in the world could not belong to Xia Hong, the power in the world was decided by Xia Hong alone.

Therefore, for a time, the harmony between the monarch and his subjects reached an unprecedented level.

The more this is the case, the more people will want to follow Shen Jinmo's path.

Shen Jinmo had just returned from investigating a case in the suburbs with his guards. Taking advantage of the late hour, someone stopped Shen Jinmo in a secluded place.

Shen Jinmo glanced at the person who was blocking his way. Tian Ding stopped all the servants and came up to Shen Jinmo alone: ​​"Sir, please give me your orders."

"You must personally deliver the 250,000 taels of silver for the front line to the East Territory overnight and hand them over to General Xiao Han."

"Yes, I will not go back to the Guards Department. I will leave for the border now."

Tian Ding then led all the guards to the eastern border. Even if they were to deliver the memorial day and night, it would already be more than half a month late compared to the last time the memorial arrived. Three memorials demanding payment had already been delivered.

If Han Zhou had not taken the lead, the silver, which was delivered half a month late, would have caused the Huwei Army to go hungry.

The difficult part of the 250,000 taels of silver was not Xia Hong's 50,000 taels, but the 200,000 taels from the Ministry of Revenue.

Even the Minister of Revenue couldn't understand why Xia Hong would completely empty the national treasury for a war.

He originally thought that a maximum of 100,000 taels could be withdrawn from the national treasury, but in fact there was only 100,000 taels in the national treasury.

As for the current investigation against his Ministry of Revenue, he thought that it was due to the 100,000 taels. As more and more evidence surfaced in recent days, he had to pay the money himself to fill the hole.

Shen Jinmo jumped off the horse and walked with his hands behind his back towards the sparsely populated path in the field.

The thousand-mile horse, which had long since recognized its master, kept a suitable distance, following the two men not too far or too close.

"Please, Lord Shen, tell me how I can get out of this situation?"

The moon was as cool as water. Shen Jinmo lowered his head and looked at the shadow of the person behind him elongated by the moonlight.

"I heard that your disabled son once spoke nonsense in front of Xie Nanxing?"

The reckoning will come later, but how could Shen Jinmo let Xie Nanxing be scolded for nothing?

"The boy is ignorant. I will punish him when I get home today."

The eldest son in the family has already paid a heavy price for this matter. Although he has saved his life, he now lies in a wheelchair every day and cannot even control his urination and defecation.

Lord Luo once had a crazy idea that when he got the chance, he would make Xie Nanxing pay with blood and die without a burial place.

But now it seems that he can't wait any longer.

Compared with his own life and the prosperity of his family, sacrificing a disabled son is nothing.

Shen Jinmo was not satisfied, but the action of Shen Jinmo withdrawing his hand from the whip handle made his attitude clear.

Even though they were walking on a narrow country path, Shen Jinmo's steps were still steady, completely different from Lord Luo who was walking behind him, cautiously lowering his head and had to jog to catch up with him.

Shen Jinmo has always been different from these people.

"Lord Luo."

Bowing and walking to Shen Jinmo's side, Lord Luo stepped directly into the mud with his official boots.

Even though there was disgust in his eyes, the smile on his lips was attentive and servile: "Hey, hey, I'm here, please give me your orders."

"You can think of all kinds of ways to create this opportunity to meet me. You really deserve to live a few more days than most officials in the Ministry of Revenue."

Those who handed money to Shen Jinmo's mansion, those who intercepted Shen Jinmo on the streets during the morning court session, and those who disturbed Xie Nanxing every day when he went to Prince Ming's mansion to accompany his studies were all too stupid.

They are so stupid that they are not worthy of the chance to live that Shen Jinmo left for them.

However, there are many people as smart as Lord Luo.

And Shen Jinmo would not give them a chance to live just because they were a little smarter.

Because the official position to be vacated by the person who is about to die has already been decided.
