"Why not let his men go?"
By then...
Su Lijin's eyes flickered slightly as she thought of something.
After thinking about it, Xiao Shengxing finally nodded: "That's fine."
The next day, the court immediately discussed the locust plague in Quanzhou. The ministers discussed it and thought about countermeasures.
"Prime Minister, Quanzhou has suffered severe damage this time. I intend to send disaster relief funds there to provide support. Do you have a suitable person to escort the funds?"
On a high seat, Xiao Shengxing seemed to be asking for advice.
Zhang Wenfeng was delighted when he heard this and quickly said, "I think the inspector of the Ministry of Revenue could be the one to escort the disaster relief silver. He happens to be working there, and the silver can be taken from there, so there's no need to transfer it to someone else."
This inspector from the Ministry of Revenue is his confidant.
Xiao Shengxing stared at him with his dark eyes, but did not speak.
He had not expected that the Prime Minister had quite a few hands in the Ministry of Revenue.
A moment later, just when Zhang Wenfeng thought the emperor had other intentions, unexpectedly, Xiao Shengxing nodded and said, "Okay, then send the official recommended by the Prime Minister."

"What's going on?" he cursed.
There was no sound outside. The inspector from the Ministry of Revenue stuck his head out in confusion, but when he saw the situation outside, his face turned pale.
The guards fell to the ground, and a dozen masked men dressed as bandits were staring at him fiercely.
"Ah!" He let out a scream, but before he could finish the scream, a huge force hit him and he fell down.
Su Lijin came out and took off her face veil: "Take all the money with you."
Losing disaster relief money is a serious crime. After waking up, the inspector from the Ministry of Revenue quickly reported it with a pale face.
He reported that his phone was intercepted by bandits.
Xiao Shengxing's dark eyes remained still, suppressing the undercurrent in his heart: "Pass on my order, go and suppress the bandits immediately."
