"Master Shen, are you feeling guilty? We are talking about your case. Did you manage to complete the task assigned by the Emperor?"
"Master Shen, if you have done it, come and question me later."
Shen Zhixiu looked puzzled. "If I succeed, what will Censor Li do?"
Li Jing was questioned repeatedly by him and blurted out, "If Lord Shen succeeds, I will do anything."
Shen Zhixiu nodded with satisfaction. "That's it. If I succeed in this matter, Censor Li will use all the cash in the palace to provide disaster relief."
Li Jing was stunned. "What if you can't do it?"
Shen Zhixiu looked at Li Jing with a smile.
"If I can't do it, I'm willing to take out all the cash of the Shen family."

Li Jing stiffened his neck and said, "Let's gamble. I hope Lord Shen won't regret it."

It is rare for the Ganyang Palace to have such interesting moments. Everyone watched intently, afraid of missing anything.

"I accept the bet. As for the deadline... today is it."
