Mind reading, the emperor saw my fist hard

[The daughter of a poor family, the maidservant in the mansion, the woman kidnapped from the street... Is this still the capital of Daqian? Didn't the inner guards find out about these things? ]

Neiwei answered categorically: No, Neiwei did not exist before you appeared.

Moreover, the position of the Langzhongling of the Ministry of Personnel was not low, so a small matter like raping a woman would never reach the government office in the capital and would have been dealt with long ago.

While answering Lord Xu's question in his mind, the inner guards quickly entered the room and handed a stack of papers to Emperor Xuan.

This stack of papers was temporarily pulled out from a table by the leader of the internal guards, and it was filled with all kinds of romantic stories.

The leader of the internal guards also had a large stack of supplies on his chest to prevent any emergencies.

Emperor Xuan looked at the words "Dielianhua" and "Qiujiangyue" written on the paper in his hand and couldn't help but twitch his lips. The internal guards were doing their work more and more perfunctorily.

But he still gave the order expressionlessly.

"Hei Guangzhi! Take him to jail and postpone the trial."

"Is Ma Tan, the head of the Ministry of Rites, here?"

A middle-aged man rolled out from the crowd,

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty is here."

"Since you can't even handle your family affairs, you should quit your job and go home..."

[Hey! A head of the Ministry of Rites could embezzle so much money. ]

Ma Tan...Ma Tan wanted to slap himself. Why did he do something else but give his own daughter away? This time, he didn’t have to play the Nine Clans Elimination Game.

There is no problem in playing Candy Crush by yourself and your family.

The rest of Emperor Xuan's words were stuck in his mouth. He originally thought that he just couldn't manage his household affairs well, but he dared to embezzle.

Someone come and tell him what this Ma Tan is in charge of.

[Ma Tan was in charge of banquets. He was in charge of every banquet from beginning to end. Every time the palace held a banquet, Ma Tan would embezzle a sum of money.]

[Eggs sold outside for five cents each, but he bought them for one ounce of silver each, which was several hundred times the price.]

Seeing this, Xu Jinyu suddenly remembered the likes maniac in China, who was also tricked by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

[Tsk! It's cheaper than the one Qianlong bought. Qianlong bought it for 30 taels of silver each. That one was the real cheat.]

Emperor Xuan raised his eyebrows: This is not the worst injustice I have suffered.

And who is Qianlong?

[A handful of green vegetables earns a few taels of silver, a deer earns hundreds of taels of silver, and a jar of wine earns even more. The price is raised several times, and a little water is added to the wine. Does the emperor know that the wine he drinks is mixed with water? Hahaha...]

Emperor Xuan: Was there water in the wine I drank?

Zuo Xiang: Why didn’t I taste it?

Langzhong Ling of the Ministry of Rites: I said that the wine at the Dragon Boat Festival banquet tasted wrong.

Censor: What do you mean by water mixed with wine? I think wine was mixed with water.

[Hahahaha... This Ma Tan is also a talent. He adjusts the water ratio in the wine according to the official rank. Officials above the third rank don't add water to the wine, officials above the fifth rank add a little water, and officials below the fifth rank add water depending on their mood on the day.]

[Anyway, no one at the royal banquet would have thought that the wine was mixed with water, so they could only think that there was something wrong with their tongue.]

The doctor of the Ministry of Rites, who had a problem with his tongue, was furious: Ma Tan was even betraying his superior.

The Censor rolled up his sleeves and said: My position is not very high, but I can impeach all officials.

[Ma Tan, the head of the Ministry of Rites, has only been in office for three years, but he has already earned nearly 500,000 yuan in assets. No wonder they say that a clean magistrate can earn 100,000 silver coins in three years. Tsk tsk tsk...]

[With so much money, the three children born to his first wife were not fed enough, forcing the eldest child with a disabled hand to do hard labor. Miss Ma had to make ends meet by doing embroidery.]

Emperor Xuan once again covered his chest with his hands, unable to breathe due to the heartache: That is mine, the 500,000 family assets are mine.

Do you know why I am so stingy when giving rewards to the concubines in the harem?

I am poor! I am extremely poor!

The inner treasury is as poor as the national treasury!

The next moment, Emperor Xuan reached out his hand to the inner guard behind him, and the inner guard took out a stack of papers from his chest in good preparation.

Emperor Xuan glanced at the contents on the paper and said, "Very good, this time it turns out that flowers fall and birds fly away."

"Come here, Ma Tan has embezzled a huge amount of money and has been sentenced to immediate execution. The Ma family's property will be confiscated and put into the national treasury. The men of the Ma family will be exiled to Lingnan, and the women will be confiscated into the Jiaofang Bureau."

Ma Tan was dragged away limply, without even the thought of arguing.

There was so much silver in the treasury at home that it overflowed, and he had never hidden it. If he had known this earlier, he would have hidden the silver in the mansion when Lord Xu was an official.

"Then play music, then dance."

Emperor Xuan was in a particularly good mood as he thought about the 500,000 taels of silver that he was about to receive, and he gave orders loudly.

The next moment, Emperor Xuan heard Xu Jinyu's deep voice again.

[How unlucky this Miss Ma is to have such a father. She doesn't have a good life, but she does have a place in the Jiaofangsi. "

Emperor Xuan paused and glanced at Miss Ma who was also collapsed on the ground.

Miss Ma stared at the sky with lifeless eyes, her eyes were full of confusion. She just wanted to escape the fate of being given away, and gritted her teeth to seduce His Majesty. It would be best if she could enter the palace to intimidate her father's second wife so that she would not harm her brothers again.

How did it turn out like this?

The men of the Ma family were exiled, and the women were sent to the Jiaofangsi.

No matter how you look at it, not being accepted into the Jiaofangsi is worse than being someone's concubine.

The children of the original wives of the Ma family are indeed miserable. After thinking about it, Emperor Xuan added,

"The three children of Ma Tan's first wife were pardoned and allowed to fend for themselves."

"Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty, for your grace."

Without being reminded, Miss Ma immediately got up from the ground and kowtowed to Emperor Xuan. Now she didn't want to think about anything else and just wanted to avoid the fate of being sent to the Jiaofangsi.

[Hey! This Miss Ma is even better at using an abacus than she is at embroidering handkerchiefs. She can use the abacus very fast. I want to bring her to my county lord's mansion and teach her modern accounting methods and Arabic numerals.]

[A super powerful accountant is rising, hahahaha...]

Emperor Xuan's eyes turned and thought about modern accounting methods and Arabic numerals. From what Xu Jinyu said, they should be useful to the Ministry of Revenue.

The Ministry of Revenue has countless bad accounts every year. This modern accounting method and Arabic numerals should be able to improve the situation.

But there is no rush now...

Miss Ma looked at Xu Jinyu with flickering eyes. After the banquet, she went to the county lady's residence to recommend herself.

[Hahahaha... As expected, nothing can stop a girl's passion! ]

This turn of events nearly broke Emperor Xuan’s waist.

The next moment, Emperor Xuan’s waist was almost broken.

A woman in green leaned on Emperor Xuan, and Emperor Xuan was almost knocked to the ground.

As for Eunuch Liu and the leader of the Imperial Guard, they were inexperienced and were so absorbed in listening to the gossip that they did not notice anyone approaching Emperor Xuan.

The woman in green gently held the corner of Emperor Xuan's clothes with one hand, revealing a panicked look like a frightened deer.

"Thank you, sir. If it weren't for you, I would have almost fallen down."

After saying this, she looked at Emperor Xuan with tears in her eyes.

My waist!

Emperor Xuan held his old waist and wanted to roar to the sky.

Seeing that something was wrong with Emperor Xuan, the leader of the imperial guards pulled the woman in green away, and Eunuch Liu supported Emperor Xuan.

[Hahahaha... This is a real seduction, a real affair. I only seek wealth and glory, not a trace of true love.]

Emperor Xuan held his waist and asked, "Do you want this romantic encounter?"

“Sizzle... sizzle... la la la...”

A strange voice was heard, and all the civil and military officials looked in the direction where the voice came from.

What I saw was Xu Jinyu's extremely surprised expression.

[System! You have energy! ]

【System! System! 】

The system is completely silent.
