Wan Qingyan carefully took out the account book that she had hidden in her bosom and respectfully presented it to the empress sitting on the phoenix chair with both hands. This time, she wanted to drag down the insidious bitch Wan Qingyu and make sure she didn't try to do anything behind her back!
The empress raised her hand slightly, signaling the maid beside her to take the account book and hand it to her. After the account book fell into the empress's hands, she just casually flipped through a few pages, as if she had already known the contents by heart.
Afterwards, the empress waved her hand lightly and put the account book aside. After all, she had long been aware of the corruption problems in the Ministry of Revenue. Even if she didn't look through the account book herself, she had an idea in her mind!
"Xiao Wu, if you were asked to handle this matter, how would you handle it?"
The empress didn't beat around the bush and directly stated her purpose, which was to let Wan Qingyan handle the matter.
As the saying goes, there is no construction without destruction. To some extent, the raging fire in the Ministry of Households turned out to be a good thing, giving her a good reason to completely eliminate this cancer of the Ministry of Households!
Wan Qingyan nodded slightly and replied seriously, "Mother Queen, I personally went to the Ministry of Revenue yesterday to check the accounts. The results were truly astonishing.
It's true that if you don't check, it's fine. Once you do, it's shocking! The Ministry of Revenue has piled up a mountain of bad debts, and the severity of the situation is beyond imagination."
Wan Qingyan paused for a moment, then continued indignantly, "My daughter, yesterday I admonished many officials from the Ministry of Revenue in person, ordering them to honestly confess their crimes and return all the stolen money!
I didn't expect that as soon as my daughter said this, the Ministry of Revenue would suddenly have that horrific fire. What's even more strange is that this fire only resulted in the death of one of the Ministry of Revenue's assistant ministers. The problem is already obvious!"
Wan Qingyan briefly recounted to the empress what had happened in the Ministry of Revenue yesterday, with hints everywhere between the lines.
She knew very well that the empress was as clear as a mirror and understood everything, but she pretended not to know, and her own purpose was equally straightforward!
If the empress hopes that she can successfully accomplish this matter, she must give her enough power, otherwise, this matter will be difficult to advance. Once she is given power, the space she can flex her muscles will be greatly increased!
"Xiao Wu, if I leave this matter entirely to you, how confident are you that you can handle it well?"
The empress leaned forward slightly, holding her chin with one hand, and her sharp hawk-like eyes shot straight at Wan Qingyan. The expectations and exploration contained in her eyes were almost obvious, without any concealment.
Wan Qingyan met the Empress's burning gaze and replied calmly, "Reporting to the Queen Mother, I am fully confident in this matter and will go all out to live up to your trust.
However, my third sister has been in charge of the Ministry of Revenue and must be well-informed about the relevant matters. My daughter intends to go and ask for advice to learn more about the situation, but this may involve some unexpected problems..."
Having said this, Wan Qingyan suddenly fell silent, her eyes narrowed slightly, revealing a gloomy look!
He also naturally mentioned Wan Qingyu, and when he talked about the critical moment, he paused awkwardly, waiting for the empress to take the initiative to ask!
"Xiao Wu, you've learned to be cunning. I understand your difficulties, but I'm giving you some authority this time. If you find out that the princess is involved, you can detain them first.
But you cannot torture or punish them. If there is any progress, you must report it to me immediately. Do you understand?"
The empress had already made her words clear, and then she stood up from the noble phoenix chair, walked quickly to Wan Qingyan's side, reached out to help her up, and patted her shoulder respectfully.
"Mother Queen, I will definitely live up to your expectations and handle this matter properly. Just wait and see the results!"
Wan Qingyan seized the opportunity and threw himself into the empress's warm embrace. He rubbed his head against her chin affectionately and started to act coquettishly!
In addition, she understood the empress's hidden meaning, which was that she could be given power and allowed to take action against those imperial princesses who were usually high and mighty.
Although they could only be detained temporarily and could not be truly harmed, Wan Qingyan was already delighted by this delegation of power!
"Xiaowu, you're already such a grown-up, why are you still acting like a spoiled child? Okay, go get to work! I'm waiting for you to give me a satisfactory result. Don't let me down!"
The empress smiled dotingly, reached out and gently patted Wan Qingyan on the back, and whispered in her ear to tell her to hurry up and do her thing.
Wan Qingyan knew that he had acted coquettishly enough, so he obediently loosened his arms that were tightly around the empress's waist, and a sweet smile bloomed on his face.
She bowed respectfully to the empress and replied in a sweet voice, "Yes, I'll do it right away." After that, she turned around and walked out of the hall with brisk but firm steps.
The empress stood quietly in place, her eyes following Wan Qingyan's figure as she walked away until she completely disappeared from her sight.
At this time, the empress slowly withdrew her gaze and whispered softly: "Xiao Wu, please don't let me down..." Although her voice was soft, it was full of deep expectations and concerns!
At this moment, the system that had been observing in secret finally lost its temper and popped its head out, saying anxiously, "Host, how do you plan to deal with this matter?
And I'm not nagging on purpose, Ye Yuanan's breath and heartbeat are really getting weaker and weaker. If I don't go over and check on him quickly, I'm afraid something big will happen!"
The system was extremely anxious. It was really worried about Ye Yuanan, fearing that he would really die.
When Wan Qingyan heard what the system said, she immediately slowed down her pace. She now understood the system's temper.
If Ye Yuanan was not in extreme danger, it would not have asked her to visit him again and again. It seemed that she really had to take the risk and go to the Ye Mansion to visit him once in the next two days.
"I see. I'll find a chance to visit him in the next two days."
After Wan Qingyan quickly replied to the system, she quickened her pace again and headed towards the Ministry of Revenue. She wanted to meet these ruthless old hands who disregarded human lives and destroyed evidence!
Now these officials from the Ministry of Revenue have been confined in the office of the Ministry of Revenue. Since the empress did not convict them, they were not thrown into prison, but were first confined together and awaiting interrogation.
"You really gave me a surprise! I asked you to confess your crimes of corruption, but you burned the account books and even murdered the Minister of Revenue. You are so bold!"
