"Now that you've said this, if I still insist on stopping you from going, wouldn't people think I'm too heartless and unreasonable?

Go quickly, but be careful. When you walk on the road, remember to cover your face with something so as not to scare others!

Also, once you've properly treated your wound, you must return immediately. As long as I haven't left this place, you absolutely cannot leave without permission. You must keep this in mind. Do you understand?"

Wan Qingyan stared at the Minister of Revenue who had already surrendered in front of her with a sharp gaze. A barely perceptible ruthlessness flashed across the depths of her eyes, and the corners of her lips rose slightly, outlining a cold sneer.

At this moment, Wan Qingyan had no intention of taking the life of the Minister of Revenue immediately. He just wanted to give her a small and insignificant punishment first!

"As you command, Your Highness!"

After hearing Wan Qingyan's permission to leave, the Minister of Revenue's heart, which had been hanging in his throat, finally settled down a little!

She secretly breathed a long sigh of relief, then once again bowed deeply and respectfully to Wan Qingyan, then turned around slowly as if walking on thin ice, and limped hurriedly towards the direction of the Imperial Hospital!

Wan Qingyu's previous work was a complete mess. He only knew how to use conspiracies and intrigues to engage in power struggles. He also used public money to make friends with his own forces and knew how to whitewash the situation and hide the problems.

As the figure of the Minister of Revenue gradually disappeared from sight, Wan Qingyan took a deep breath and refocused her attention on the mountain of accounts before her. Her fingers flipped through the yellowed papers, her eyes scanning every line of numbers and records!

As time went by, Wan Qingyan's frown grew deeper and deeper, and the shock in her heart grew stronger and stronger. She found incredulous that the deficit of the Ministry of Households had reached such an alarming level!

Those huge holes were like bottomless abysses, devouring the country's wealth and the blood and sweat of the people. The money flowed into the hands of officials of all ranks, aristocratic families, and imperial princesses!

Thinking of this, Wan Qingyan couldn't help but feel speechless about Wan Qingyu. She had thought that Wan Qingyu still had some ability in government affairs, but she didn't expect that all her skill points were spent on conspiracy and power struggles, while her job was a mess!

Wan Qingyu not only squandered the Ministry of Revenue's public money to win over his own power, but also went to great lengths to whitewash the situation, trying to bury these serious problems so that no one would notice.

Unfortunately, money matters can be concealed temporarily, but cannot be hidden forever. When Qingzhou needed disaster relief funds, the problems of the Ministry of Revenue were exposed. The empress then let her take over, hoping that she could turn the tide!

"My third sister, you really left me a mess!"

Wan Qingyan frowned and cursed under her breath with an angry look on her face. She held the pen tightly in her hand, and because she held it too hard, the pen broke with a "click"!

She knew very well that if she couldn't find out the truth about these deficits as soon as possible and take effective measures to make up for them, the empress would doubt her ability, and she would miss an important opportunity!

But then again, the more difficult the problem is, the more likely it is that it will be a great opportunity for her to demonstrate her strength.

After all, if things were done beautifully, it would naturally demonstrate her extraordinary talents. Even if it was not resolved satisfactorily in the end, at least it would not make the situation too embarrassing!

Time passed by so quickly that before anyone knew it, night had quietly fallen. Officials of all ranks were already exhausted, so tired that they couldn't even straighten their backs.

However, Wan Qingyan was always concentrating on the accounts, carefully checking every income and expenditure without stopping for a moment, with no intention of stopping to rest!

Although these officials were complaining in their hearts, no one dared to complain, let alone leave their post without permission to rest for a while.

They can only force themselves to cheer up and continue working. They are exhausted both physically and mentally and have to bear tremendous pressure. The feeling is as painful as being in purgatory.

At this moment, deep in their hearts, they longed for Wan Qingyan to finish his work quickly and let them go home to rest!

"Well, let's stop here for today. We'll continue tomorrow. Also, I'll give you one last chance to turn from evil to good!

Tomorrow, if anyone voluntarily admits to corruption and returns the stolen money in full, I will let them go and give them a light punishment. If they refuse to admit their guilt and stubbornly resist to the end, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Wan Qingyan stood up suddenly, like a tall green pine tree, with a cold smile on his lips. That smile was like a sharp sword, piercing the hearts of the officials.

Wan Qingyan's eyes were filled with cruelty, like a ferocious beast, scanning everyone present. His harsh warning was like a heavy hammer, hitting the hearts of the officials hard. The warning in his words was obvious!
