Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 496.2: End of Matter, The Cause and Effect Becoming Clear

Luo Pei Shan’s fingertip tapped against the table. He although wasn’t in the Ministry of Revenue, but towards the situation in the various ministries, he actually had a clear understanding inside. In other words, regardless of which ministry he’s tossed into, he’s all able to swim about smoothly. The grains the Ministry of Revenue collected every year, other than when initially entering the granary, there were at least two re-inspections afterwards. The time of re-inspection is before the next batch entered the granary. Just, it’s impossible for grains to just enter and not come out. Some granaries, without even waiting for re-inspection, were already empty. The people responsible for stocking and the people in charge of re-inspecting were not the same. However, those that genuinely re-inspect every sack earnestly for the most part didn’t exist, so to want to make moves here truly was too easy.

And the ones that had problems, in the next year, just say, ‘water had leaked in’ and such excuses to have the fake grains taken care of, switching with new ones. All is well in the end.

“Because there’s a problem, that’s why you just investigated?”

“Yes.”

“You also aren’t young anymore, yet still handle matters like a youngster, impulsively doing whatever comes to mind. Have you ever considered, if by chance those people behind the scenes were to detect, you might even attract killers, even bringing disaster to the whole family. Did you ever think of these?”

“Father, I naturally thought of these. Prior to investigating, I’d made preparations. Even the account books in the Ministry of Revenue, I also just looked over everything, and not specifically picking one kind. When looking over, I also never once made records, so won’t get noticed by anyone. When leaving the capital, I also found a reasonable excuse and didn’t mention to anyone either. Even the servant boy at my side didn’t know what I was doing. Moreover, I didn’t leave the capital for long either. Reasonably speaking, in that bit of time, one simply isn’t able to found out anything.”

Luo Pei Shan was a bit surprised, “Then how did you investigate?”

Luo Rong Yan suddenly rubbed his nose, feeling a bit awkward, “Father, about that, regardless of where, there will always be those that dwell the streets, no? These people know many things, and perhaps even they themselves don’t know that those things have value. In any case, it’s nothing more than just spending a bit of money.”

Luo Pei Shan smiled. It’s no wonder this son of his would feel embarrassed. This son has always been noble like the clear moon, sometimes even like an immortal sage, always disdaining to associate with many people. Letting him go come in contact with those people indeed was a bit hard to imagine. But, to be able to go this far, it was more than enough to see his determination. However, he could also tell that this second son, when truly wanting to do something, he wasn’t stubborn and inflexible, and also sufficiently cautious. In the beginning, this son was also the one he was the most optimistic about. Afterwards, having no other choice, he could only give up. But now, he instead gave him a big surprise, just hope that he won’t once again turn back.

“Alright, leave this matter to me, I will take care of the follow-up matters. As for credit and whatnot, don’t count on it. Since you really want to work, later I will slightly change your post. Don’t think about too good of a post, you merely just won’t be that idle anymore. The Ministry of Revenue this time will have big adjustments, the positions afraid won’t be filled for a while. As such, on matters concerning the war in the northwest, if able to make some contributions, then after the war, perhaps you will still have a place.”

“I will listen to father.”

“If you’d long listened to me, would you still be like this now? Would your daughter have even needed to acknowledge an adopted mother in order to become a wangfei?” Luo Pei Shan said with a harsh tone.

Luo Rong Yan closed his mouth and didn’t answer. Continuing like this, he would just be an unfilial son and a failing father.

“Enough, go back and rest.” When mentioning the various aspects of the past, Luo Pei Shan began disdaining him again.

Just, after Luo Rong Yan left, Luo Pei Shan also began worrying. The origins of this ‘account book’, exactly how should he fabricate? How should it appear in order for it to be reasonable?

After pondering for a while, there wasn’t any good methods, thus he just tossed aside, deciding to just give it to Jin Qinwang later. The grandson-in-law, it’d be a waste to not use. Moreover, they were all serving him, so when encountering troubles, if not looking for him, then who? Towards giving his ‘master’ trouble, this kind of thing, Head Minister Luo also had no qualms whatsoever.

When Li Hong Yuan received the thing, especially after learning it came from his father-in-law’s hands, he truly was somewhat surprised. This father-in-law of his can be considered ‘just that when silent, but shocking with a cry’?

However, regardless of which, with this thing, the fish that can be dragged out can be much bigger. As for how to let it appear reasonably, heheh, wasn’t it already said, looking for someone to shoulder the pot, this kind of thing, Jin Qinwang has always been skilled in. However, it can’t be brought out as is. The state of affairs right now wasn’t suitable for too big of a disturbance. At least, the Head Minister of Revenue needs to stay. That’s why, don’t look at how the Head Minister of Revenue appeared dejected, who knows what he’s thinking inside. However, even if keeping him, it’s still at most keeping until after the war in the northwest.

Li Hong Yuan moved the brush, changing certain areas. Afterwards, he tossed to the people below to transcribe a copy, “When finished, ‘send’ it to Rouge Pavilion’s Yun Niang.”

Jing Wan lit a candle for this formerly renowned Princess Heyang that will soon be dragged into the waters. The world long didn’t have her legends, just earning a bit of money to spend, yet still got dragged out for a stroll, getting involved in the muddy waters. The previous night was still perfectly fine, yet the next day, just discover such a shocking thing on one’s table, don’t know whether or not she will be furious.

Yun Niang rather didn’t explode in anger, just that ever so charming face was somewhat malevolent. The hell, she was already at such an age, yet still unable to have peace.

However, the matter had already fallen on her head, and no matter what, this was still her country, so she naturally won’t allow those vermins to endanger this piece of land.

Pacifying the anger inside, and without saying a second word, Yun Niang directly looked for Luo Pei Shan. It can’t be helped, who let her and Luo Pei Shan be ‘old lovers’. When there’s something, of course it’s looking for someone familiar. Don’t even need to waste much breath, just directly throw it over.

In other words, after going in a circle, this thing still ended back in his hands. Luo Pei Shan’s expression really was a bit interesting.

However, as Luo Pei Shan listened to Yun Niang randomly fabricate this account book’s origins, he felt even more peculiar inside, forcibly controlling the expression on his face, superficially nodding and agreeing.

And in front of Luo Pei Shan, Yun Niang also wasn’t that seductively blooming flower either, her temper quite violent, pushing up her sleeves and slamming the table, not the least bit like a woman.

Luo Pei Shan felt his head ache. Speaking of which, people like Yun Niang were the type he was the worst at dealing with. That’s why, regardless of whether it was several decades ago, or now, every time facing, he can only willingly admit defeat. This woman, if able to avoid, he would all avoid as much as possible. Of all the people Jin Qinwang can pick, how come he just picked her? This was retaliating against him for having this hot potato thrown to him(LHY)?

Alright, regardless of whether or not this potato was scalding previously, after going in a circle, Luo Pei Shan no longer felt anything holding it in hand.

After Yun Niang left, Luo Pei Shan, because of noticing that the booklet had changed, just flipped through it, discovering the changes, and very quickly understood Jin Qinwang’s intentions.

Luo Pei Shan stroked his beard. Say, as such a youngster, when handling things, how come just this efficient and unscrupulous? Sometimes, even they these old man all can’t compare. Facing this kind of Jin Qinwang, it was practically feeling that he was more like an emperor than Le Cheng Emperor, and moreover, was the one that was sitting on the throne, towards the matters of the world all skillfully handling. He was practically born to rule.

Just, as Luo Pei Shan was leaving the study, he discovered that everyone’s gaze towards him was seemingly a bit strange.

They all carried a bit of an inconceivable look. Especially the servant girls, when looking at him, it was practically just like looking at a heartless bastard, carrying a bit of anger, and also a bit of an indescribable disappointment.

Head Minister Luo expressed, it really was strange. What did he do for each and every one to look at him like this? Moreover, a bunch of servants looking at their master like this, how was that appropriate?

“Grandfather, heard that the woman you raised outside came looking? We all thought you were a good one, but never thought that at such an age, you actually, actually………If grandmother were to know, how heartbroken would she be.” Luo Jing Bo and his brothers came together, and Luo Jing Bo, probably because of Jing Wan’s influence, towards Luo Pei Shan, he didn’t fear as much as before, occasionally even able to ‘bluntly speak out’. And right now, for the sake of backing his grandmother, he truly wasn’t the least bit polite.
