Chapter 256

Li Si naturally heard the meaning in Feng Quji's words, and his face darkened slightly.

However, since Feng Quji had already obtained Made Ying Zheng's regard, he naturally wouldn't care about Li Si's verbal attacks.

"When the boat reaches the bridge, it will naturally go straight; why should Magistrate Li care?"

After speaking, he walked directly past Li Si toward the front, leaving only a back view.

Li Si's face darkened completely, and a ruthless light flashed in his eyes.

He thought he had tightly pressed Feng Quji under his feet.

Yet he hadn't expected that one day, this Feng Quji would actually be able to turn things around.

Gloomy.

"I will let you clearly understand."

"People who fall into the mud, even if they return to the imperial court, still cannot shake off the mud spots on their bodies."

Until Li Si completely left this place, in a corner, Ying Mo walked out slowly.

After the court was dismissed, he followed the flow of people and walked out slowly, and without any surprise, he saw Li Si and Feng Quji.

Seeing Li Si's expression, he knew that in a moment, he would definitely have a dispute with Feng Quji.

When he was still the First Prince, he clearly understood the disputes between Li Si and Feng Quji.

But regarding this matter, Ying Mo did not intervene too much.

In his cognition,

survival of the fittest was the long-term plan.

"A bit interesting."

The corner of Ying Mo's mouth moved slightly.

Perhaps, he could utilize this Feng Quji.

………

"Bastard, is this the method you handed over to me?"

Made Ying Zheng heavily threw the memorial in his hand onto Li Si's head.

His chest rose and fell sharply, and blue veins burst on his forehead, showing Made Ying Zheng's anger at this moment.

Ever since Li Si became Prime Minister, he had never seen such a furious Made Ying Zheng.

A hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

Subsequently, Li Si comforted himself, defaulting Made Ying Zheng's capriciousness to the side effects of the elixir.

"One hundred thousand tax silver, after leaving the city gate, it completely disappeared."

"Yet you tell me they all fell into the river and were washed away by the current."

Made Ying Zheng was truly somewhat angry this time.

Severe drought in the northwest, in order to appease the people of the northwest.

The national treasury even took out 100,000 silver as disaster relief silver.

But just after this disaster relief silver left the city gate, it encountered a group of robbers blocking the road and robbing it.

Subsequently, this disaster relief silver was directly knocked into the moat and completely disappeared without a trace.

Li Si lowered his head and knelt on the ground.

He was also very innocent.

He also had some thoughts about that sum of silver.

But thinking was just thinking about taking a portion of it; he had never thought about taking all 100,000 silver into his hands.

But even if he wanted to embezzle this money, he would absolutely not take action against this silver just as it left the city gate.

Li Si's mind was also racking its brains, thinking about who would take action against this silver.

"Your Majesty, I have already sent people to dredge the moat, but I didn't find a single piece of silver."

Watching Zhang Han walked in from outside and said to Made Ying Zheng.

At this moment, in the study, only Made Ying Zheng, Watching Zhang Han, and Li Si, who was kneeling on the ground, remained.

Li Si listened quietly to the heavy, labored breathing coming from Made Ying Zheng above.

After a while, the heavy breathing seemed to calm down a bit.

"Li Si, I give you three days; if you cannot find back this 100,000 silver."

Made Ying Zheng did not say the rest of the words.

But Li Si clearly felt the threat in Made Ying Zheng's words.

He also hadn't expected that he would be so unlucky during this period.

First, the power in his hands was divided by Feng Quji.

Causing him not to control the people below as strictly as before.

It was hard to handle the northwest affairs and get some appreciation from Made Ying Zheng.

Yet he hadn't expected another blow to the head.

100,000 tax silver.

It is feared that his entire official position will be completely stripped away.

Li Si clearly understood the severity of this matter.

At this time, he had no mind to think about other things, only wanting to find all 100,000 tax silver as soon as possible.

"Please rest assured, Your Majesty; this subject will definitely find back this 100,000 tax silver as soon as possible."

Li Si knocked his head heavily on the ground and guaranteed in a low voice. 753

Made Ying Zheng didn't care at all about the military order Li Si had signed.

After hearing Li Si's words, he just waved his hand and let him leave the study.

After Li Si had just left, the fury on Made Ying Zheng's face eased a bit.

"You looked at me a few times just now; what exactly is the matter? Speak."

Watching Zhang Han had been by his side for some time.

Made Ying Zheng still had some understanding of him.

"Your Majesty, that batch of silver, this subject had originally sent people to swap it away."

"But it was robbed during the transportation process."

When Watching Zhang Han said these words, he knelt directly in front of Made Ying Zheng.

A trace of shame appeared on his face.

His Majesty handed such an important matter to him, but he had messed it up.

That was a full 100,000 taels of silver.

And this silver was indeed the disaster relief silver Made Ying Zheng handed over to the northwest to handle the people.

Thinking that because of his negligence, the people in the northwest would be destitute,

Watching Zhang Han felt that he had no face to live in this world anymore.

After listening to Watching Zhang Han's words, Made Ying Zheng's figure paused,

"What did you say?"

The tone was filled with undisguised anger, completely different from before.

The previous fury was something Made Ying Zheng had disguised.

But now, his voice was calm, yet it couldn't hide the anger in his tone at all.
