While the Minister of Works was struggling to save his own life, [back in his hometown, the Minister of Works had adopted a millstone as his godmother. Later, when he became a high-ranking official, the line of people wanting to adopt that millstone as their godmother stretched all the way to the next province, and many more came seeking her out. In short, the Minister of Works now had at least an army of his own, if not an army.]
The quiet atmosphere among the group was inexplicably tinged with a strangeness.
Emperor: ...Ahem, so what's the difference between one army and another?

By this time, the messenger had lost patience. "Sigh, can we confiscate their property or not? Emperor, please say something!"
The emperor was enjoying watching his minister's misfortune when he heard Chuanwen's thoughts. He glanced at the little girl beside him and saw that she was about to rob the house if he didn't confiscate it soon. The emperor was speechless.
Confiscating their property is out of the question, after all, he still has to consider the Minister of Works' reputation, since they are sworn brothers, haha!
