Chapter 263 When the Cannon Fodder Prime Minister is Discovered in Man's Clothing (24)
"It hurts~"
A soft cry of pain escaped from the carriage, stopping Chu Yinci and Yan Cheng who were waiting outside.
Xia Mochi cried out in pain? Did Sui Sui hit him or something? They could actually hear a strong sense of pleasure in his voice.
The two men looked at each other and then their eyes quickly turned away again. They both gritted their teeth and suppressed the urge to beat up the bastard in the carriage.
Even Chu Yinci, who was always calm, did not hide such thoughts.
Less than half a minute after the shout, a large hand with lightly calloused palms lifted the carriage curtain, making it easier for the person inside to get out of the carriage.
Sui Yu got off the carriage and hurried towards the government office. No matter who it was, none of the three of them wanted to pay attention to them at the moment.
Because their identities had not been exposed, they stopped at the corner gate when they came to the government office this time, so they would not be easily noticed.
Walking quickly towards the meeting room behind the court, Sui Yu glanced at the extremely luxuriously renovated mansion and knew that the previous county magistrate had spent a lot of money on it.
It seems that the people from the Ministry of Revenue and the Ministry of War in the court have served as county magistrates in Ningguang.
The only thing they have in common is the most hidden thing, which they hide so that no one can see it - they are rich.
The most fashionable woven satin in Shengjing City was even used by those people to make shoe uppers.
It looks good, but the money...I'm afraid they will have to spend half a month's salary to buy one.
Although Sui Yu was thinking in a thousand ways, she did not show any of it. She took the plaster handed to her by Yan Cheng to eliminate the redness and swelling on her lips and applied it. When she entered the conference room, she was once again the powerful minister close to the emperor.
Inside the meeting hall.
The commander who had led the troops to capture people was also there. When he saw Sui Yu come in, he stood up and bowed, and the sound of his armor colliding was very dull.
"Greetings, Prime Minister."
Sui Yu raised her hand and pressed it down, motioning them to sit down.
Now in the entire room, apart from her and Chu Yinci, there were only the commander and the official who was currently in charge of the Ningguang government office.
"Following your Excellency's suggestion, we have already conducted a thorough review of the problematic accounts. We have also sent personnel to investigate the mansions of the major Ningguang families. These are a compilation of our recent findings."
Sui Yu took it and flipped through the booklet which was clearly organized and contained all the discoveries. She looked at the official who took over with approval.
She has always had an excellent memory. As long as she has met someone before, she can know his identity in a moment by recalling his identity.
"Are you from the Ministry of War, or the Duke Dingguo's Mansion?"
Xia Mochi suddenly tensed up and was the first to argue, "He was just a small soldier my grandfather used to lead. We didn't have much contact normally."
But please don't misunderstand me and think that he was sent here to monitor Sui Yu because he was worried about him investigating the case. "It must be a coincidence, just a coincidence."
Sui Yu glared at him sharply, and Xia Mochi, who was about to say a few more words, was instantly speechless. He pursed his thin lips and stopped talking.
When Xi Cui was asked, he was secretly surprised. How come it was so easy for the Prime Minister to tame the young master after such a short time?
It is indeed a thundering measure.
"To the Prime Minister, I was indeed a soldier in the Dingguo Army before, but later due to injuries I could not go to the battlefield, so I could only seek a sinecure."
"The Ministry of War is not an idle position. The safety of the entire Great Yong Dynasty is in your hands." Sui Yu flipped through the booklet with a calm tone.
Complete praise will have different meanings when heard by people of different identities.
There have always been conflicts between civil officials and military officials in the court. One is radical while the other wants a more peaceful situation, so there have been many quarrels.
What's more, the Prime Minister and Duke Dingguo, one is the head of the civil officials and the other is a military general. Didn't you see that the young master always contradicted the Prime Minister in the court before?
Therefore, when Xi Cui heard Sui Yu's words, it was like a faint knocking.
"Your Excellency is joking. If the court is stable and His Majesty governs the country wisely, then only civil officials and military officers like us can have the courage to take up our posts and do our work."
Sui Yu raised her eyebrows and stared at him for a moment. When she saw no trace of guilt on his face, she smiled faintly, "Then this time, regarding the Ningguang incident, we will have to rely on your Majesty's national prestige."
"Exactly."
He greeted people with a smile, and before they knew it, the conversation had turned several corners, and all the subsequent matters had been finalized.
Yan Cheng, who didn't quite understand the roundabout words, looked serious and wrote down every word, waiting to find... He looked around and decided to ask Sui Hao for help.
Xia Mochi looked calm, but his eyes were distracted. He understood!
Wasn't Sui Yu's words a disguised defense against the Duke of Dingguo's Mansion? Then what should he do?
As Xia Mochi was thinking, his vision suddenly went dark, and he felt that the road ahead was difficult.
