This was definitely the fastest the court officials had ever run away from the morning court session in the Great Gan Kingdom.
The Minister of Revenue ran ahead, followed by a group of ministers.
The Minister of Works was also rushing home.
Although silver notes are important, the wife he married with such a large dowry is equally important.
However, the Minister of Works was also followed by a group of ministers.
The ministers have already discussed and agreed to split into two groups and exchange information later.
When the Minister of Revenue returned to his doorstep, he belatedly realized that a large group of court officials were following behind him.
He quickly pulled his foot back from the doorway.
He turned around and asked the ministers behind him in confusion.
"Ministers, what are you doing following me?"
"Oh, I have frequent and urgent urination and can't hold it in. I've come to your house to borrow your toilet."
"What?" The Minister of Revenue opened his eyes wide in surprise.
He subconsciously looked up at the court officials behind him.
"And what about you?"
A unified voice rang out, "I need to pee frequently and urgently, I can't hold it in, can I use your outhouse?"
The ministers, without any politeness towards the Minister of Household Affairs, rushed in to find the toilet.
"Slow down, slow down! My outhouse, my outhouse..."
The Minister of Revenue remembered the gold he had embedded in the wall of the latrine and was so frightened that he hurriedly chased after him.
Meanwhile, when the Minister of Works returned home, his wife had already burned down the bedroom.
Upon seeing the Minister of Works return, his wife pretended to cry and threw herself into his arms.
"Master, waaaaah..."
"The fire spread rapidly and quickly, and our bank notes and deposit slips are gone..."
The Minister of Works felt a slight sense of comfort looking at the jewelry box his wife was holding.
The banknotes are gone, the house is gone, but thankfully the wife is still here.
Fortunately, the lady knew to hide some of the banknotes.
The Minister of Works calmed himself down before pointing to the jewelry box his wife was holding.
“Madam, it doesn’t matter if the house burns down, just give me the jewelry in your hand.”
Upon hearing the Minister of Works' words, the Minister's wife, who had been nestled in his arms like a little bird just a moment ago, suddenly became a sore spot.
The next second, without any hesitation, he grabbed the jewelry box and slapped it at the Minister of Works.
The court officials watching the spectacle: Wait, why did they suddenly start making a move?
Is the Minister of Works really that powerless in his family?
Just as the court officials were happily gossiping about the melons...
The jewelry box in the hands of the Minister of Works' wife suddenly fell to the ground, scattering all the jewelry inside.
This startled the wife of the Minister of Works, who hurriedly went to retrieve the jewelry box.
The onlookers' eyes widened instantly.
It's almost here, almost here, the silver notes hidden inside the jewelry box are about to be discovered.
At this tense moment, the wife of the Minister of Works suddenly screamed in terror.
"Ah, silver notes, silver notes, where are my silver notes?"
"The silver notes I hid in the lining of my jewelry box."
The wife of the Minister of Works searched frantically.
Upon hearing this, the Minister of Works sensed something was wrong and quickly stepped forward to help search.
"I told you not to take my silver notes, give them back! I told you not to take my silver notes, give them back!"
The wife of the Minister of Works vented her anger directly on the Minister of Works.
The couple started fighting right there in the yard.
The spectacle was so captivating that even the ministers watching the drama were thoroughly entertained and burst into laughter.
So the Minister of Works is henpecked, huh? Hahaha...
Similarly, things aren't going well with the Minister of Revenue either.
A large group of ministers crowded into his house looking for a toilet.
He built a golden outhouse, and it's gone.
When the Minister of Revenue arrived, all that was left was an outhouse.
When the Minister of Revenue saw this, his eyes turned red with anger.
He pulled out a thick stick and shouted.
"Give me back my gold!"
The court officials, having found nothing, fled in terror.
It's a miscarriage of justice; when they arrived, it was just a latrine.
The two families of the Minister of Works and the Minister of Revenue were at loggerheads.
But things aren't going well with the Duke of Zhenguo either.
Feeling he had lost face, the Duke of Zhenguo went home, loosened his belt, and wanted to hang himself, hoping to give Emperor Tai'an a warning.
It was Prince Li He of Jin who rushed over and quickly ordered his men to put the unruly Duke of Zhenguo down. He then comforted him at length, and the matter was finally settled.
The Minister of the Court of Judicial Review would be even more tragic.
Originally, only he and his wife knew about his previous health problems.
Now, the entire imperial court knows.
He even bestowed ten dancers upon her to go home and have children... Waaaaaah...
When the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review returned home, his son, Xu Wanzhou, the Vice Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, also woke up.
Just then, the emperor's reward and imperial edict arrived.
The wife of the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review gave him a strange look.
"Sir, would you like me to have the kitchen make you some soup?"
"After all, ten is still a bit too many."
"It's perfect that your son is taking over your position, so you can just relax at home and enjoy your retirement."
"When my sister has her baby, I'll take care of her during her postpartum period."
The words of the wife of the Minister of Justice are truly hurtful.
The two had already fallen out because of their son.
Xu Wanzhou took over the position of Minister of the Court of Judicial Review, and the Minister's wife could no longer bear it.
That old man, relying on his higher official rank than his son, is constantly tormenting his son.
Now it's finally their turn to be in charge.
On the other side, there's Wan Shan, the Minister of the Court of Imperial Sacrifices.
His feet were incredibly itchy, so he went home and asked a doctor to examine him. It turned out he had athlete's foot.
