Chapter 56 Yun Zheng, the little bad guy who makes trouble

The two were very close, their breaths could be smelled and their skins touched.

Yun Zheng opened her big black eyes, looking pitiful. She was wrong! She was just angry for a moment!

The warm breath sprayed on Li Wuyang's palm, bringing a tingling sensation and making his heart beat irregularly.

He suddenly let go, moved his body back, and put his right hand into the wide sleeve, but he could still feel the remaining heat.

The heartbeat was thumping and deafening.

Yun Zheng didn't notice anything unusual at all. "Your Majesty, I shouldn't have spoken carelessly. I will be more careful with my words and actions in the future."

"Um."

The voice was very low. Yun Zheng felt a little strange and looked up. The man still had an indifferent expression, but his ears were red.

She didn't think much about it, her eyes rolling around, "You're so nervous, it can't be true..."

Li Wuyang glared at her unhappily and said, "Shut up. Be more careful next time."

"Yes, yes," Yun Zheng agreed, but her curiosity grew even stronger. Could it be that she had guessed it right? As an emperor, who would abandon him? It was impossible.

"One last question, did the Emperor...withhold that money?"

Li Wuyang remained silent.

Yun Zheng understood immediately. Even if the shares of those who impeached were all confiscated and transferred to the Mingjing Division, it would only be one tenth.

No wonder the dog emperor agreed so readily and even kept most of the money for himself.

She rolled her eyes in anger. The dog emperor was so greedy that he ruined her good game.

No, she can't swallow this!

Make trouble, make trouble, make trouble!

Just as the court was about to be dismissed, officials came out in groups of three or four, still discussing the newly appointed Lord of Jinyun Township. They said it was unbecoming for him to show up in public and he must be impeached.

The Minister of Revenue walked in the middle with a serious expression on his face, and no one dared to approach him.

A carriage slowly approached, blocking everyone's way.

Everyone stopped in curiosity. Whose carriage was it? Why was there no emblem?

The carriage stopped, the door opened, and a serious-looking maid stepped out. "Master, we're here."

A slender white hand stretched out, attracting everyone's attention.

Then, a stunningly beautiful face appeared in front of everyone, attacking everyone's vision.

It’s beautiful, so beautiful, gorgeous and bold, breathtakingly beautiful.

An official's eyes lit up and he stepped forward, "Excuse me, who is this lady from?"

Nanny Li introduced calmly, "This is my master, the Lord of Jinyun Township."

It was like a thunderbolt hitting everyone's head. What? She was the woman who had caused a public outcry and been madly impeached in recent days?

No one told them that she was so beautiful!

But why is she here?

Facing the gazes of the officials, Yun Zheng was not intimidated at all and looked calm and composed.

An imperial official stepped forward and asked loudly, "Are you the Lord of Jinyun Township?"

Yun Zheng glanced at him calmly and asked calmly, "Yes, what do you think?"

The censor shouted, "You are a girl, yet you are out in public, hanging out with a bunch of men. You have no sense of shame. How did your parents raise you? Your upbringing is terrible."

His colleagues also stepped forward to criticize her, "As a merchant's daughter, you must have been poorly educated. Go back to the Pingxi Marquis's mansion and reflect on your mistakes. Don't go out again. Otherwise, we will scold you every time we see you."

"Yes, we will keep an eye on you every day and impeach you."

These face-to-face attacks were filled with malice and condescending arrogance.

Yun Zheng is a person who becomes stronger when facing a stronger opponent, so he laughed on the spot.

"Oh, are officials so heartless? They took a large sum of money from me and still scolded me? I might as well feed them to a dog. At least the dog would wag its tail at me."

The censors were furious, as if they had been deeply humiliated. "Who took your money? Stop talking nonsense."

"Don't think you're great just because you're rich. We have backbone and we don't care about your little money."

That little bit of money? Yun Zheng raised an eyebrow and said loudly, "This time, I will take out 4.8819 million taels of silver and distribute it to the six ministries, nine ministers, and the sixteen departments of the Mingjingsi..."

Well, she doesn't know anything! She only knows that she gave out money and was upset about being impeached, so she came here looking for an explanation.

Yes, that's it.

This attracted everyone's attention, and they gathered around. How much? Nearly five million taels of silver? Divide it all among them? Did I hear that right?

Before Yun Zheng could finish her words, the Minister of Revenue rushed over and took the initiative to greet her. "Village Master, why are you here?"

Yun Zheng looked at the nervous Minister of Revenue and understood what was going on.

"Sir, you are in charge of this matter. Tell me, did I pay 4,881,900 taels of silver?"

There were both whole and fractional numbers, which didn't seem to be made up, so the officials began to believe it.

The Minister of Revenue broke out in a sweat and said, "If you have anything to say, let's find a place to talk."

The Minister of Industry and his men gathered around him, "Come on, explain it clearly in front of everyone. What's going on? Is there really such a sum of money?"

Since it concerns their own interests, no one can stand by and watch. They all gathered around and asked for an explanation.

Yun Zheng was surprised. "What? They haven't distributed it yet? This is inefficient."

"This...that..." The Minister of Revenue had a lot of grievances, but nothing he said would be right at this moment.

You can't accuse the king of being a coward and putting the silver into his own private treasury for his own enjoyment, right?

"Please tell me." All the officials were so anxious that they jumped up and down.

Yun Zheng knew the emperor wanted to withhold the money, but on what basis? He wouldn't allow her to divorce, yet he felt comfortable using her money to enjoy himself. He could only dream.

"Why are you pretending? Each department gets 200,000 yuan, and the Ministry of Revenue and the Mirror Bureau, which contributed, get double that, which is 400,000 yuan. Everyone gets a lot of money, and you took the money and impeached me. How shameless! Humph."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar. So much silver!

Everyone was anxious, "We didn't take the money, don't talk nonsense."

Yun Zheng pretended to widen her eyes in shock, "Ah, you didn't get the money? Lord Shangshu, you haven't distributed it yet?"

An official asked, "Sir, is there really such a sum of money?"

So, where did the money go? Could it have been embezzled by someone?

No, that's their money!

The Shangshu felt bitter in his mouth. What could he say?

"This is the money given to us by the head of Jinyun Township. Why did you withhold it? Did you swallow it yourself?"

Some low-ranking officials were extremely anxious. Their salaries were low and their lives were very tight. “Give money, give money, give money.”

The Minister of Revenue was surrounded by the crowd and couldn't get away. He was anxious and helpless. "Quiet, listen to me. This money can't be distributed for the time being."

"Why?"

"This..." The Minister of Revenue was sweating profusely. He winked at his subordinates and told them to go and get help.

Yun Zheng ordered the carriage to retreat quietly to an inconspicuous corner and watched the show silently.

The corners of her mouth rose slightly. Go ahead and make a fuss. Make it a big deal and let the whole world know about it. Hahahaha.

Your Majesty, take this!
