Princess Kangding was still staring at Xiao Fan, with many thoughts in her mind.
Nowadays, the refugee issue is what your father is always worried about, and he can't rest day and night.
If Xiao Fan could really take on all of this, as well as the labor and food wages for repairing the fortifications in the north, then even if Xiao Chengshan embezzled as much as he could, it would still not be enough!
I'm afraid I'll have to spend a lot of money!
Is Xiao Fan really willing to do this?
Xiao Fan really didn't want to care about what these two people were thinking at this moment. He took a deep breath and spoke again, "Princess Kangding, Miss Liu, I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."
After saying that, Xiao Fan didn't waste any more time and turned around and left.
He has to go back quickly now and tell his cheap father!
Otherwise, who knows what else could go wrong?
He doesn't want to suffer any more accidents!
Xiao Fan left just like that, and the officials from the Ministry of Justice looked at each other in disbelief.
What Xiao Fan said just now really shocked them. Taking the lead in disaster relief requires real money!
Kang Ding and Liu Pingping's eyes met, and they both snorted coldly and stopped talking.
Kangding turned around and left.
It’s obvious that Liu Pingping is not a good person. She even seduced Xiao Fan. It’s so infuriating just to watch!
Liu Pingping was naturally dissatisfied with Kang Ding, so she stood up and left. She thought that the young master must be informed of this matter as soon as possible!
Xiao Fan returned to the Xiao Mansion and quickly found Xiao Chengshan.
At this moment, Xiao Chengshan was in the study, holding a white silver ingot in his hand, his eyes full of greed.
"Oh, these are all my treasures!"
Xiao Chengshan spoke with a smile.
He believed in only one thing, that is, money can make the devil work.
In his heart, the status of this silver is second only to Xiao Fan!
Over the years, Xiao Chengshan has been making money without any scruples. As for the rumors in the court, Xiao Chengshan is not unaware of them, but he just doesn't care.
His Xiao family has many followers in the court, and their connections are complicated. Even if the emperor wants to touch him, he has to think carefully!
"Oh, now that this money is in my hands, don't even think about getting it out again!"
Xiao Chengshan spoke, his eyes full of undisguised greed.
At this moment, the door of the study was pushed open and Xiao Fan came in hurriedly.
As soon as he came in, his eyes fell directly on Xiao Chengshan.
"Father, something terrible has happened!"
"What's the rush?"
Xiao Chengshan couldn't help getting angry when he saw his son's unstable behavior.
"You said you're not young anymore, when will you be more sensible?"
"Father, don't worry about your silver!" Xiao Fan didn't want to waste any time. Seeing that Xiao Chengshan was still holding the silver in his hand, Xiao Fan gritted his teeth and said, "Our Xiao family has been noticed!"
"What do you mean?" Xiao Chengshan was puzzled.
Xiao Fan didn't waste any time. He quickly told Xiao Chengshan what had just happened in detail.
After hearing this, Xiao Chengshan smiled, "Fan'er, calm down. This is nothing. Over the years, our Xiao family has gone through all kinds of storms."
"As long as Dad is here, these things will never leave the Ministry of Justice!"
Xiao Chengshan is very confident.
You know, he has embezzled a lot of money over the years, but when did something really go wrong?
In Xiao Chengshan's view, Xiao Fan's words were nothing but rumors.
Xiao Fan naturally saw through Xiao Chengshan's thoughts. He couldn't help but raise his voice, "Now this is the order from the Emperor himself!"
As he spoke, Xiao Fan took a deep breath and continued, "Father, I've already spread the word in the Ministry of Justice. All the money our Xiao family has embezzled over the years must be used for disaster relief. In addition, we will also be responsible for the labor and food wages for the repair of the northern fortifications!"
Xiao Fan directly told his plan.
When Xiao Chengshan heard Xiao Fan's words, his face turned pale and his body trembled uncontrollably. "What did you say?"
Xiao Chengshan looked incredulous.
Why did he embezzle so much money in his life? Wasn't it just to leave some wealth for his good-for-nothing son?
As a result, Xiao Fan actually squandered it all?
Xiao Chengshan felt his vision going dark.
Xiao Fan quickly supported Xiao Chengshan, "Father, please think carefully. If we can't get this money out, our entire family will be executed!"
"No matter what, this silver must be taken out!"
Xiao Fan kept talking, trying hard to make Xiao Chengshan hear the crisis clearly. As he was talking, Xiao Fan suddenly found that Xiao Chengshan was silent.
He quickly looked over and saw that Xiao Chengshan's face was pale, his mouth was open and his breathing was getting more and more rapid. He was about to faint.
"Dad, please don't faint!"
Meanwhile, at the palace.
"You said that Xiao Fan really wants to donate all the silver and use it as food and wages?" In the imperial study, Emperor Showa looked at Princess Kangding with disbelief in his eyes.
Princess Kangding nodded seriously, "Father, why do I feel that Xiao Fan and Minister Xiao are different from Zhou Zhe?"
"They seem to care about us Dayan very much!"
Princess Kangding spoke and expressed her thoughts in detail.
Emperor Showa couldn't help but frown when he heard what Princess Kangding said. This matter was indeed as Kangding said.
During this period, he has received hundreds of secret reports, all of which are about Xiao Chengshan's corruption.
Each piece of evidence is conclusive and even shocking.
Of course, he had heard about Xiao Chengshan's corruption, but he never paid much attention to it.
In his opinion, even if Xiao Chengshan was corrupt, how much could he have embezzled? When the water is too clear, there will be no fish.
But no one expected that in the past ten years, Xiao Chengshan had embezzled tens of billions of taels of silver!
You know, the treasury of Dayan may not be able to have this much in several years!
It was precisely because of this that he decided to investigate Xiao Chengshan!
But no one expected that asking Kangding to go to the Ministry of Justice would cause so much trouble.
At this moment, he couldn't help but think about so many things!
"Kangding, in your opinion, what is the intention of the Xiao family?"
Kangding stood opposite with mixed feelings.
"Father, I don't quite understand, but Xiao Fan seems to have changed a lot in the past half month. If the old Xiao Fan were investigated, I'm afraid he wouldn't make such a decision."
"I'm wondering if the Xiao family... is deliberately hiding something?"
"You mean, hiding your incompetence?" Emperor Showa raised his eyebrows.
Princess Kangding raised her eyes and said seriously, "Father, as the saying goes, great men hide themselves in the court!"
Emperor Showa was shocked.
"Could it be that Xiao Chengshan and Xiao Fan, father and son, are using themselves as bait to stir up trouble in order to save Dayan from disaster?"
"Your Majesty, this is what I think." Princess Kangding nodded heavily.
