Forcing me to keep vigil for your childhood sweetheart? Then I'll leave you.

"I didn't expect that a woman like you could care about the affairs of the court?"

Lin Yi was pleasantly surprised, "I didn't expect the emperor to be so open-minded..."

"If only the people today were like the emperor!"

He made a casual complaint.

If he had asked women to participate in government affairs like the emperor did, he would not have been banned from selling sanitary napkins!

Upon hearing this, Prince Qing was startled, but Huangfu Qingling did not react much.

"These are all trivial matters. I just want to know how to confirm it."

Huangfu Qingling saw Lin Yi's relaxed look and felt that he should have more ways.

“No need to confirm.”

“Whoever has the account book should start with that person.”

Lin Yi spoke lightly.

"The Minister of Revenue, who is in charge of the account books, has already been questioned, but he can't get anything out of him."

"The Minister of Revenue also interrogated him briefly earlier, and the result was the same."

Huangfu Qingling explained, "According to you, the one who is in charge of the account books is the one who embezzled the national treasury?"

"Brother, this is a false account. Nothing real will appear on it!"

Lin Yi explained, "Only by catching the one who controls the dark accounts can we know everything!"

"But what about the dark account?"

Huangfu Qingling's face suddenly became puzzled. "Looking for a hidden cause is like looking for a needle in a haystack."

The secret account will definitely be hidden, and it will be extremely difficult to find it!

"As you can see, the Yang account is just an estimate, and there may be a deficit of 264 taels."

"But to know the exact amount of the deficit, we still have to look at the hidden accounts."

Lin Yi thought for a moment and slowly explained, "We need to find the Yin and Yang accounts and compare them. Then it will be clear who got the money in the Yin account."

"I understand what you mean."

"But how do we find the hidden accounts?"

Huangfu Qingling asked.

"The account books should all be in the Ministry of Revenue."

"Go to the Emperor and ask him to temporarily seal off the Ministry of Revenue."

Lin Yi slowly said, "Separate everyone into separate rooms and scare them one by one!"

"how do I say this?"

Huangfu Qingling suddenly became curious.

"Seizing all the account books in the Ministry of Revenue will give those old men in the Ministry the illusion that the Emperor has evidence!"

"And then they were separated just to prevent them from asking questions."

Lin Yi sighed, but considering that this was an ancient story, he was quite patient. "Do you know that two peaches can kill three warriors?"

"If two peaches are shared among three people, it will inevitably lead to a fight, and in the end, the three people will die in anger over the two peaches."

Huangfu Qingling nodded slightly, "Does this have anything to do with the current problem?"

"Of course there are. You can just go and scare people by telling them that someone else has already confessed. As long as they confess, you can guarantee that the incident has nothing to do with them."

Lin Yi smiled and said, "This is called bluffing!"

Huangfu Qingling was also amused after hearing this, "Could it be that officials in the court would also fall for this kind of scheme?"

"I don't know if it worked or not, but with so many people in the Ministry of Revenue, there's bound to be someone who falls for it, right?"

Lin Yi put away his smile and suddenly became serious. "Sister, let me tell you, embezzling over two million taels of silver is definitely not something that can be done by one person. He must have accomplices to distribute the money to the relevant people."

Suddenly Huangfu Qingling realized that she was being childish.

A corruption case with such a large amount of money lost, if one person could pull it off... I'm afraid he must be a Daluo Jinxian.

"Starting from the Ministry of Revenue, scare them one by one. As long as we find one person who has confessed, we can find the second and the third."

"Then follow the clues and catch a long list of them, right?"

Lin Yi leaned back in the rocking chair, drank some ice water, and let out a long sigh.

Huangfu Qingling immediately had an idea about the case.

"By the way, since the emperor is so happy...I actually have something I want to ask for your help."

After hearing Lin Yi's words, Huangfu Qingling thought that her identity had been exposed.

"Can you go back and ask the Emperor for me?"

"I previously opened a shop selling sanitary napkins, but people insisted I was violating moral standards!"

His last words actually made Huangfu Qingling breathe a sigh of relief. "Since the emperor can allow women to participate in politics, then there shouldn't be any problem for me to sell sanitary napkins, right?"

"Besides, sanitary napkins are good for women's bodies!"

……

Lin Yi's words made Huangfu Qingling feel a little sympathetic.

After all, her youngest sister also bought some sanitary napkins and felt that the effects were good after using them herself.

"Why do you think a woman like me can participate in politics?"

Huangfu Qingling was neither hurried nor slow. She covered her mouth and chuckled.

"If you're allowed to investigate such a massive deficit, you must have considerable power!"

“Doesn’t having power count as participating in politics?”

Lin Yi said seriously that although he had temporarily put aside the sanitary napkin business, it was always a good thing to have the opportunity to do it again.

"Why do you want to go into the sanitary napkin business so much?"

After Huangfu Qingling laughed, she asked seriously.

"I believe that women and men should be equal in the world."

"It's just that the body structure is a little different."

Lin Yi expressed his own ideas about gender equality.

This shocked Huangfu Qingling greatly.

Not only is he smart, he even cares about women.

He can make amazing things with his hands and help the army win battles...

"I need to think about this."

Huangfu Qingling did not agree immediately, but she had already accepted Lin Yi in her heart.

If there were no such constraints between men and women, why would she pretend to be a man and become the emperor?

“I’m glad you considered it!”

Lin Yi smiled immediately, then took out some instant noodles from the box beside him and said, "Have some noodles."

As he said that, he put the pancake into the boiling hot pot water.

“Is this instant noodles?”

Huangfu Qingling had heard from Prince Qing that these instant noodles saved the northern army.

But she has never seen instant noodles in real life.

"Yes, this is instant noodles. Last month, the army was short of food and it was Lin Yi who helped solve the problem."

Prince Qing also agreed.

"Lin Yi, I have an idea. Selling sanitary napkins alone is indeed difficult to be accepted."

"Why don't you sell these instant noodles along with bicycles or something?"

Huangfu Qingling suddenly had an idea.

If an imperial decree was issued to only allow Lin Yi to sell sanitary napkins, it would probably not be accepted by the people, or even the court officials.

But if they are sold together and in a less conspicuous location, they can get away with it!

Just issue another decree to express your agreement.

"Yup!"

Lin Yi also figured it out instantly.

If you open a women's store, you will be watched everywhere by these old scholars. Wouldn't it be better to open a large supermarket yourself?

His thoughts suddenly became clear, and he nodded slightly. "That's a good idea, but as for those sanitary napkins and the like... I'd like to ask you to do me a favor and ask the Emperor to grant me permission to sell them on a special basis!"

"That's natural, but please don't use sanitary napkins as a sign to sell it anymore."

Huangfu Qingling said, and slowly stood up, "Okay, the meal is over, I have to go back."

Prince Qing immediately stood up and opened the door for her.
