Chapter 117
"Lord Xie, would it be convenient for you to show me around your residence?" Li Tianyou suddenly asked, looking at Xie Jincheng.
Want to take a stroll around his residence?
Xie Jincheng didn't know why, but he felt something was off.
However, it seems like I can't refuse this offer.
“If Lord Li doesn’t mind the simplicity of the residence, I, Xie, will show you around,” Xie Jincheng quickly said.
His mind was racing, thinking about the recent audit in the imperial court.
"Lord Li, aren't we checking the Ministry of Revenue's accounts recently?" Xie Jincheng asked in a low voice as they walked.
Anyway, this is my own home, and the man in front of me is my good brother's father-in-law, so I'll consider him one of my own for now.
Xie Jincheng then asked without hesitation.
"Investigate!" Li Tianyou found this Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel quite interesting; he actually asked him directly.
"So you've come to my house to check the accounts?" Xie Jincheng asked jokingly.
To his surprise, Li Tianyou just rolled his eyes at him, thinking to himself, "How can someone ask me such a blunt question?"
How am I supposed to explain this?
The Emperor sent him here privately.
However, he had already secretly gone to the home of Lu Zhengyu, the Minister of Personnel.
As for the Xie family, the main reason he didn't come secretly was because he was familiar with the Xie family.
It's better to come openly than secretly.
"Wow!" Looking at the silent Li Tianyou, Xie Jincheng realized that he had guessed correctly.
It seems that the Emperor's ostensible purpose in inspecting the Ministry of Revenue's accounts was actually to visit the homes of officials in the Six Ministries to check on their situations. No, it's likely that he visited not only the homes of officials in the Six Ministries, but probably every official in the capital.
Thinking of this, Xie Jincheng felt a chill run down his spine, thinking to himself, "The Emperor's move is brilliant!"
Fortunately, Xie Jincheng was honest and upright, and whatever was in the courtyard was the legacy left by his ancestors.
"Are you scared?" Li Tianyou asked, raising an eyebrow.
"What am I afraid of? Others should be worried, right?" Xie Jincheng said with a touch of smugness.
"Yes, I hope Lord Xie will continue to maintain this." Li Tianyou observed the Xie family, but it was really just a formality. They already knew which family had problems and which didn't.
He had already secretly arranged for someone to take him to check it out.
After all, the two bodyguards Xu Heming gave him were quite effective; they could enter their residence without anyone noticing.
Compared to Li Tianyou's smooth progress, things were much more difficult for Xiao Guozhi.
When those people heard that he had come to their door, they basically refused to let him in. He didn't even have the right to enter the mansion, so how could he know what problems were going on in their mansion?
Xiao Guozhi realized that if things weren't going well on his end, then Li Tianyou must be in an even worse situation.
After all, Li Tianyou was unfamiliar with the capital city.
I did manage to visit the residence of Minister Wen of the Ministry of Works, but there wasn't much to see there.
Right now, he was trying to find a way to go to the home of Liu Bozheng, the Minister of Justice, since the two houses were close by.
However, he was unable to find a way to enter the mansion.
I was squatting by the side door, trying to come up with a solution.
Suddenly I saw a car parked at the side gate.
The man knocked on the door twice, and someone came out and welcomed him inside.
Xiao Guozhi's eyes widened when he saw this. He had just tried to enter through the main gate, but they had directly rejected his invitation.
