The Peerless Demon of Martial Arts

Chapter 694
Feng Yueqing said: "I want you to bring all the accounting books of the account department for the past three years, isn't it the only one?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Feng, our household office is not as lucrative as you think, it's a Qingshui office. There is only one account in total. You are in business, so naturally you know that the general account will not be too much."

With a sharp mouth, Feng Yueqing opened the account book, and saw that the content on it was very perfunctory: the Qiantang water conservancy project cost 70 taels of silver.Disaster relief in Henan cost 50 taels of silver.

"This is the account book. What about the details?" Feng Yueqing asked, "Don't think I don't know. This is a false account. What I want are specific accounts, accurate to every plant and tree."

The other party laughed: "You are really an expert in business, but you have also served as a fourth-rank magistrate after all, so you should understand the principles of officialdom."

"Then I want to listen to it. What's the reason?"

"I don't know." The man threw out the words: "Since you are the Minister of the Household Department, you must know more than me. You should read it yourself."

With his photographic memory, Feng Yueqing swept through the accounts, which can be said to be full of loopholes.These people refused to strike up a conversation with him, and he assured Li Tianxing that this would definitely be done.Going to Li Tianxing now would make him seem incompetent. In the afternoon, he went to discuss with Tian Haofeng.

Tian Haofeng did things very neatly, he changed the entire staff of officials without requesting an order.

These are all newcomers, and the other two were selected from local officials. It is considered polite to see Feng Yueqing: "Master Feng."

"Is Tian Shangshu there?"

Tian Haofeng has already heard the voice from outside: "Hey, isn't this Mrs. Feng, please do it inside."

Feng Yueqing put the account book in front of Tian Haofeng: "I have convinced these guys, the account book given to me must be fake. They are all Xu Guolu's cronies, what I said to the emperor is a bit exaggerated."

"How is it? It's not going to end well, is it?"

"I want to replace everyone."

Tian Haofeng said: "Do you want to learn from my official department? It's not feasible. The people in the official department were originally Zhou Ge's elders. After Master Zhou resigned, these people have no backbone. It is easy for me to change. But you are different. If you want to change people, they have Xu Guolu behind them, so it's not easy. The emperor has to help you with this matter."

"The day before yesterday, I made a guarantee for the emperor. Now I tell you, the emperor thought I was incompetent. I came here to tell you, Mr. Tian, ​​that you are the top leader in the appointment of officials, but I want to change people here. As long as you don't come out to object, let alone one Xu Guolu, I'm not afraid of ten Xu Guolus."

Tian Haofeng said: "The emperor asked me to fully support you, of course I have no problem. Are you... sure?"

"Let's go and have a look."

In a day's work, Feng Yueqing selected a few clean and honest officials from Tian Haofeng's list of officials, but he couldn't get a few important people. Two of them were the No. Left in the cold, he is only a sixth-rank official up to now.

The next day, he led people to the Yamen of the Ministry of Households, and even brought troops over.

"You guys, from now on, you are no longer from the Household Yamen, so go away."

These words sounded harsh, more powerful than the emperor, one sentence would make people go away, and there was no need to investigate what mistakes they made.

A servant scolded on the spot: "Feng Yueqing! I'm rough on you! You're an old man, you've only been here for a few days? What right do you have to talk about here? You really think you're someone. I'm in the household department I've been here for three years, but I haven't seen a person like you! A prisoner is here to attack people!"

Feng Yueqing said: "That's right, I'm a criminal officer, but I'm the head of the household department now. If you don't know how to obey orders, it's fine, and you insult me ​​in public. Come here—pull out, beat twenty big boards hard, and punishment."

The soldiers dragged him out, beat him in the yard, and yelled in pain: "Ouch—help—Old Xu Ge, help! Feng Yueqing—you must die!!"

The soldier said in a low voice: "Master Feng, he is an old man of Xu Ge, and it depends on the owner to beat a dog. Isn't this too much?"

"It's okay. If there is a problem, I will take care of it. You can fight boldly."

Feng Yueqing glanced at the people around him: "What's the matter? I told you to leave the household department, can't you hear me? Does everyone have to come and suffer the [-]th board?"

The story of him brutally beating the servant in the household department was widely circulated in the government and the public, which especially annoyed several elders.After all, this kind of thing was unprecedented, which made Mr. Xu Ge very embarrassed.

"Elder Ge, this Feng Yueqing is too arrogant, he doesn't take you seriously at all."

Xu Guolu put down his teacup: "His surname Feng is now in full swing, and he is surrounded by the emperor, so he is naturally arrogant and domineering. The same is true for Chen Shaoyou, who insulted his boss in public. How can I talk to the emperor? He did it wrong first."

"Old Ge, this guy replaced the six servants of the household department at once, and all of them were replaced by his people in a blink of an eye. If things go on like this... this... the people in the official department have also been replaced by Tian Haofeng, and the people in the military department are not us. Yes, the Ministry of Rites and our people are still here, but it is not of much use."

Xu Guolu said: "Let's go to see the emperor together, there are many of us, let's see what the emperor has to say."

Ever since, led by Xu Guolu, more than 60 ministers knelt outside the hall, facing the sun, refusing to get up, almost like forcing the palace.

Li Tianxing played chess with Tian Haofeng inside, enjoying himself.

"Your Majesty, what Xu Guolu did is to demonstrate to you." Tian Haofeng looked out the window: "This man is a veteran of the fourth generation, and has many disciples. Offending him and spreading it outside will not be good for the emperor's reputation."

Li Tianxing looked at the chessboard: "Feng Yueqing was supported by me. He has his own skills. I said that as long as it is for business, I will not intervene. Besides, no one was killed, so he just hit a guy's board." Well, I can play as usual. If you don’t even have this bit of courage, then you will still be so obedient in the future. Sigh, it’s up to you to play chess.”

Just like that, Xu Guolu and others knelt until dark.

Li Tianxing was very depressed: "Tian Haofeng, you are a capable person I invited from outside. To deal with these officials, your brain is better than Tian Haofeng. Come and give me an idea, how to make Xu Guolu shut up from now on."

"Is the emperor telling him to shut up forever, or does he not want to see him again?"

There is something in these words, Li Tianxing doesn't want to kill people, he just said: "Tell him to shut up."

Tian Haofeng said: "Xu Guolu is the most concerned about face. He thinks he is an important minister of the court, and he was once the number one scholar. To deal with such a person, the most important thing is to use etiquette, justice, and shame."

"Oh? It seems you have an idea."

That's right, what Tian Haofeng meant was that there are so many concubines in the harem, if you send one to Tian Haofeng randomly, as long as people see him, his face will be disgraced and he will be ashamed to see others.

Li Tianxing laughed loudly: "Scholar Tian, ​​you are so funny, he is almost 70 years old, such an old man, you can find a woman for him, can he play?"
