"General Wanyan, isn't what you said contradictory?

You yourself admit that your data differs from the book amount by 1,518 taels. Doesn't that just prove that there is something wrong with your accounting?

You don't think you can win, do you? Haha..."

Although Zhang Xingguo was not very good at calculating, he had a very sharp mind and could immediately notice the contradictions in Wanyan Hongze's words.

He gave Wanyan Hongze a cold look, with an arrogant attitude and an attitude that looked down on everyone.

"That's right! Even a fool would know that you lost!"

"Maybe he really doesn't know how to do numbers? Otherwise, how could he not understand such a simple principle?"

"It seems that the Loulan people are not that good! After all, they are inferior to us Daye!"

As soon as Zhang Xingguo finished speaking, all the civil and military officials who were eager to watch the fun immediately joined in the commotion.

Without exception, those words were full of ridicule and contempt for Wanyan Hongze, and they were not polite at all.

Even so, Wanyan Hongze remained calm and composed, as if he was not affected by anyone at all.

His surprising calmness actually made the young man in white next to him completely anxious.

"Don't go too far! Don't think that you can do whatever you want just because you won the competition!"

The young man in white was so angry that his eyes were blurry and his brain quickly went blank. He raised his hand in the air and gnashed his teeth in hatred.

What completely confused everyone present was that the young man in white was so angry that he seemed to have already acknowledged that Daye was the winner.

But just as he finished speaking, the calm Wanyan Hongze suddenly walked up to Zhu Yunhao and said confidently:

"Who said we, Loulan, lost? I didn't admit it!"

When these words were spoken, everyone present was in tears and laughter, and they all agreed that Wanyan Hongze's head was filled with water and he could no longer see the reality.

"General Wanyan, you just admitted that your calculation amount is indeed different from the book amount.

If this isn’t a loss, then what is it? So what if you don’t admit it?”

Zhong Shanzhu couldn't hold it in any longer, so he walked straight up to Wanyan Hongze and spoke with disdain.

Wanyan Hongze didn't care and said calmly:

"Don't you suspect that there is something wrong with your account books?"

Wanyan Hongze spoke calmly, as if he was confident that he would win.

Upon hearing this, everyone present couldn't help but burst into laughter, and no one believed Wanyan Hongze's words.

"What a joke! The account books of the Ministry of Revenue have always been in the charge of Lord Li Yi. If there is a problem with his account, then how did he get the position of Minister of Revenue?

Did you seal it yourself? Haha..."

Zhang Xingguo felt very unbelievable and immediately stood up to retort, his face full of mockery and contempt.

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Zilei quickly echoed them:

"That's right! General Wanyan, you are a real man, what's wrong with admitting defeat? It's not shameful! Haha..."

Seeing this, Du Qingwan, who had always been doubtful, suddenly had a new idea.

She seemed to see some clues and was convinced that Wanyan Hongze would win this game.

"General Wanyan, you just said there is something wrong with the Ministry of Revenue's account books?

This matter can be big or small, so don’t make rash comments.”

When Zhu Yunhao heard Wanyan Hongze say that there was a problem with the Ministry of Revenue's account books, he instantly lost his composure.

How could he care who wins or loses?

If there are mistakes in the account books of the Ministry of Revenue, it means that there is something wrong with Li Yi, the Minister of Revenue, and he is a parasite of the Daye Dynasty.

"Emperor Daye, if you don't believe what I say, you can send a few more people to check it a few more times.

If I am not mistaken, the data that Minister Li just calculated is 100% flawed."

Wanyan Hongze was full of confidence when he said this.

Upon hearing this, everyone present immediately looked at Li Yi.

Li Yi looked a little guilty. He took three steps back and trembled all over.

Seeing this, Zhu Yunhao began to feel suspicious, his face gradually became gloomy, and he looked like he was about to explode.

“Your Majesty, since General Wanyan refuses to admit defeat and insists that there is something wrong with Minister Li’s account book, it is not that he made a mistake in the calculation.

In my opinion, it would be better to let someone who knows how to calculate the bills come and review them, so as to clear Minister Li's name, what do you think? "

Worried that Zhu Yunhao didn't believe Wanyan Hongze, Du Qingwan quickly walked up to him and spoke with a fake smile.

Hearing this, Zhu Yunhao pondered for a moment and quickly called Eunuch Liu:

"Eunuch Liu, please ask Minister Zhou and Minister Liang to come over. I want them to carefully calculate these two account books for me.

Li Yi, if there is any problem with the account book, I will make you lose your head!"

Zhu Yunhao's voice was extremely cold and deep, and he looked like he was going to make Li Yi suffer.

Li Yi panicked and quickly knelt down to beg for mercy:

"Your Majesty, please calm down! I really didn't cook the books!

It was him! He deliberately framed me! I am innocent! Your Majesty! "

Ignoring Li Yi's cries, Zhu Yunhao kicked him away.

His face was extremely dark, and he scolded in a deep voice: "Waste!"

"Your Highness..."

The young man in white thought that Wanyan Hongze was looking for an excuse because he had made a mistake in calculating his account books, so he hurried forward.

But Wanyan Hongze just smiled without saying anything, and quietly winked at him, indicating that he should not be nervous for the time being.

His cold gaze involuntarily fell on Du Qingwan, and the corners of his lips curled up subconsciously, with a hint of gratitude vaguely revealed on his face with distinct features.

Du Qingwan didn't pay much attention to it, just smiled indifferently and sat back in her seat.

"Your Majesty, Minister Zhou and Minister Liang have arrived."

At the same time, Eunuch Liu also called Minister Zhou and Minister Liang. After reporting, he quickly retreated behind Zhu Yunhao.

Zhu Yunhao raised his eyes and glanced at the two trembling people, angrily threw the two account books on the table, and said coldly:

"Lord Zhou, Lord Liang, please check these two account books carefully for me.

If you make a mistake in your calculations, I will chop off your heads!"

Minister Zhou and Minister Liang naturally did not dare to fool around, and hurriedly took the account book and prepared to check it.

"Your Majesty, rest assured. We will investigate thoroughly!"

Minister Liang finished his words with a trembling voice, then sat down at the table and started to calculate the accounts with Minister Zhou.

The scene was plunged into a strange immersion, and one could hear a pin drop.

At this moment, Li Yi's heart was in turmoil and he was extremely frightened.

What he was worried about right now was not only that there might be problems with these two account books, but more importantly, he was worried that after the truth came out, Zhu Yunhao would order a thorough investigation of all the account books in the Ministry of Revenue, and then execute all nine generations of his clan.

Of course, he can only pin his hopes on Minister Zhou and Minister Liang now, hoping that they cannot find out what the problem is.

But Li Yi's wishful thinking was wrong.

It only took the time of an incense stick for Minister Zhou and Minister Liang to finish the accounting of the two account books.

"My dear ministers, how is the account book going?"

Zhu Yunhao saw Minister Zhou and Minister Liang stand up, and couldn't wait to know the result, so he asked quickly.

The two of them bowed deeply to Zhu Yunhao.

"Reporting to the Emperor, there are indeed major problems with Minister Li's two account books. General Wanyan's calculations are accurate."

Minister Liang bowed his head and bowed deeply, responding with great fear and trepidation.

When mentioning that there was no mistake in Wanyan Hongze's calculations, Minister Liang put in his best effort to report it truthfully.

In fact, he didn't know whether this was the result Zhu Yunhao wanted, and he didn't know whether he would be beheaded.
