The emperor slapped the table to smash it, this scene frightened Chen Xiao, I didn't see it, the emperor is still a master?

He himself was a martial artist in the early stage of the Internal Force Realm, but he was sure that it was impossible for him to slap the table, let alone smash the table, or leave a handprint on the table.

And the emperor, a slap to pieces? How awesome?

But he didn't know that the Emperor's table was made of hard ironwood, not as hard as real iron, but it was definitely hard enough.

This kind of wood was still made into such a large table, but it was smashed with one palm.

This is no longer something that can be explained by the deep internal force!

The emperor snorted and said to Chen Xiao: "You go back first, see if you can investigate some more things." ”

Seeing that the emperor was still angry, Chen Xiao nodded and didn't say anything, so he turned around and left.

After Chen Xiao left the palace, he returned to the household department.

It's just that as soon as he entered the Hubu compound, the Hubu Shangshu and the two waiters, as well as the Jinbu Shilang and the Yuanwailang, immediately rushed up.

Moreover, there were many small officials and some officials around, all of whom surrounded Chen Xiao.

Looking at this scene, Chen Xiao knew that they were going to make trouble for themselves!

"Master Chen, you seem to be very busy in the past two days!" Tobe Shangshu spoke.

Chen Xiao smiled: "It's very busy, Lord Shangshu, do you have any advice?" ”

"Advice? Don't dare, it's just, the official heard that you were corrupt? So, come and check it out! Tobe Shangshu said.

Chen Xiao was stunned, what do you mean?

Hube Shangshu snorted and waved his hand to the little official behind him:

"Go in and find out the recent account books of salt tax and tea tax, and the official will check it."

Chen Xiao frowned, probably understood.

These guys are going to charge themselves with corruption?

Soon, the official came out and said to the head of the household:

"My lord, I didn't find it!"

Hubu Shangshu stared at Chen Xiao and said, "What about the salt tax account book?" ”

Chen Xiao said: "I don't know! ”

I thought, "Shall I tell you, at the Emperor's?"

Tobe Shangshu snorted coldly and said, "It doesn't matter if you don't hand it over, anyway, it's all the same." ”

Chen Xiao was very calm and said, "Lord Shangshu, what kind of song is this?" ”

The head of the household department said to Chen Xiao: "This official has investigated, and the salt tax and the tea tax and iron tax are actually not at all the same as those recorded in the account book of your gold department. ”

Chen Xiao said: "So what? ”

Jin Bu Shilang said: "Chief Chen, the matter of collecting salt tax, this official was entrusted to you to do, and the official found that the accounts were wrong, and you can't hand over the accounts now, are you really corrupt?" ”

Hubu Shangshu immediately spoke: "Bold Chen Xiao, you actually embezzled and made false accounts? ”

Chen Xiao smiled when he heard this, and then said, "Awesome, is this going to forcibly detain these sins on me?" Lord Shangshu is really amazing!

But also, this household department, you have the final say, you say that I collect these taxes, then no one dares to say that I didn't collect them, right? ”

Hubu Shangshu took two steps forward, put his ear against Chen Xiao and said:

"If you want to blame, blame you for being too ignorant, you blocked our financial route, and we will give you a dead end......"

Chen Xiao replied: "Who gave whom a dead end, it's not necessarily!" ”

Tobe Shangshu sneered: "Hmph, Jinbu Shilang said that there are more than 20,000 taels in the accounts that do not match the actual taxes."

Boy, now our household department says that this tax is collected by you, guess you, will you die? ”

Chen Xiao was now glad for a while, but fortunately, he gave the account book to the emperor in advance.

I'm afraid these guys still think that they are investigating?

I felt a little funny in my heart, but Chen Xiao didn't show it, but continued to cooperate:

"What do you want?"

"It's easy, I'll kill you!" Tobe Shangshu said.

The right attendant also spoke: "Chen Xiao, we warned you early on that you are too bad at being a person, you said that you, as the official of the household department, you have to check the official of the household department."

You ask, which of these people present is not greedy? This time, it's not that we won't let you go, it's our entire household that won't let you go! ”

Chen Xiao nodded slightly: "I can see it!" ”

"Now, whatever our entire household says, you are what you are, your life and death are in our hands!" Shiro Kanabe sneered.

Chen Xiao pouted: "However, I was very busy some time ago, and it was impossible to collect taxes, you said that I collected taxes, who would believe me?" ”

"You think we're stupid? Hmph, now, we're going to take you down and imprison you in the household department, and in two days, we can say, you're going to collect taxes! Tobe Shangshu said.

Chen Xiao couldn't help but ask: "But, there are no account books?" Why do you say that taxes are wrong? ”

Tobe's right attendant said, "Idiot, why do you have to have an account book? Let's just say it's okay for you to destroy the books?

As for why we say that the tax is wrong, just count the tax paid by the salt merchants, and then compare it with the tax and silver of the Ministry of Gold, and you can see how much silver is missing? ”

Shiro Kanabe added: "Didn't your restaurant make a lot of money? When the time comes, we will ask Your Majesty to investigate you, and go directly to your restaurant to search for more than 20,000 taels of silver you earned, and say that it is the part you embezzled, and you say, you are not dead? ”

Chen Xiao nodded admiringly and said, "Amazing, the last director of the Ministry of Finance, that's how he took the blame for you, right?" ”

"Hmph, now that you know, you made the same mistake? Oh, that's no wonder we're not going to do it! ”

Chen Xiao said: "Okay, it seems that I will definitely die, so, after two days, what are you going to do?" Let the people from the Criminal Department arrest me? ”

"We plan to sue Your Majesty directly about this matter, so two days later, you will wait to be convicted by Your Majesty in the court!" Zuo Shilang spoke.

Chen Xiao sighed: "It seems that I am finished this time!" ”

"Haha, boy, now you know you're scared? You can't fight us! Tobe Shangshu laughed.

Chen Xiao lowered his head with a painful and regretful face, and almost couldn't hold back his laughter.

I thought to myself, you idiots, and you plan to say that you will be collecting taxes for the next two days?

As everyone knows, the account books have been read by the emperor, and you are still falsifying here to let Chen Xiao collect taxes?

However, Chen Xiao is also very much looking forward to it, and he is very much looking forward to two days later when they arrest him and sue him in court, saying that he has collected taxes and embezzled in the past two days.

I don't know, what a wonderful scene it will be.

So, he was very cooperative and said, "I have given up resistance now, you are too powerful...... Lock me up......"

So, the Hubu Shangshu and the others thought they were right, tied Chen Xiao's hands, and locked him in a room to guard him.

Hubu Shangshu did what he said, and took great care to close Chen Xiao for two days.

On the third day, Hubu Shangshu opened the house with a smile and said to Chen Xiao:

"Chen Xiao, Chen Xiao, today, it's your time of death!"

Chen Xiao lowered his head and smiled quietly, thinking to himself, whose death date is still unknown!
