Liu Zhenghui came, but he was full of resentment.

Someone had informed him just now, but he ignored it.

Another minister came to talk to him, and year after year, he had opinions.

"Meet Liu Shangshu."

Fang Yuan stood up and saluted.

I thought that this Liu Zhenghui would be really resentful.

I just don’t know if he will dare to act like this later.

"Sit down."

"If you have any accounts, hurry up and settle them. I'm very busy."

Liu Zhenghui waved his hand without even looking at Fang Yuan.

He placed the general ledger on the table next to Fang Yuan and sat down.

Liu Yichen didn't give Fang Yuan any good looks and just sat aside.

The joke Fang Yuan made with her just now has already spread, saying that she has thoughts about married men.

"I will check the general ledger later. There are two bills that Liu Shangshu needs to take a look at."

Fang Yuan looked at the total bill and ignored it.

Instead, he asked the person behind him to take out two ledgers, namely the two bills that Fang Qingping discovered.

"You want me to look at one or two bills?"

"Shilang Fang, do you know how busy I am?"

Liu Zhenghui's face suddenly darkened and he looked at Fang Yuan dissatisfied.

If it weren't for the fact that Fang Yuan came here on behalf of the Ministry of Household Affairs, Liu Zhenghui would have scolded Fang Yuan for not knowing what to do.

Except for the general ledger, which needs to be checked by the Minister in person, other bills have dedicated people to communicate with the Accounts Department.

"Shilang Fang, are you looking for trouble?"

Liu Yichen also said dissatisfiedly.

"Liu Shangshu, let's take a look first and then talk."

Fang Yuan took the account book and handed it directly to Liu Zhenghui.

Liu Zhenghui snorted coldly and finally took the account book handed over by Fang Yuan.

I didn’t take it seriously at first, but after seeing the bill clearly, my expression suddenly froze.

Liu Yichen naturally noticed the change in his grandfather's expression, and turned his head to look at the bill.

Seeing this, Liu Yichen's expression also changed.

"What does Liu Shangshu have to say?"

"Is this bill correct?"

Fang Yuan smiled slightly and said.

"It's just a bill, how can I remember it so clearly?"

"Yichen, go down and check to see if there is any problem."

Liu Zhenghui snorted and said.

It was just a bill, he really couldn’t remember it that clearly.

But this bill is different and involves the issue of compensation for those who died in the line of duty.

He remembered that during this year, a total of thirty-six people from the Ministry of Punishment died in the line of duty.

However, Fang Yuan's record here is fifty-two, which is a full number of sixteen people.

There is a high probability that the Ministry of Accounts will not make mistakes in the accounts, which means that the Ministry of Punishments will falsely report the amount.

There were a total of 16 people who made false reports, which means they made a false report of about hundreds of thousands of copper coins.

This is a huge amount of money, but I don’t know it at all, which is the most terrible thing.

"There is another one here, take this one down and check it."

Fang Yuan's smile became even brighter.

If you don’t immediately say there’s no problem, then there is a problem.

Liu Zhenghui frowned and looked at the bills in another account book.

At this sight, Liu Zhenghui's expression changed again and his eyes widened.

After a while.

"Ahem, Yichen, there is a bottle of good tea in my office. Bring it out to entertain Mr. Fang."

Liu Zhenghui sighed in his heart.

I lament that today is a difficult day.

Only by entertaining Fang Yuan well can big problems be reduced to minor problems.

This time, the Ministry of Punishment was in trouble. I just hope that Fang Yuan can give it some time and not expose it so quickly.

If it is exposed, the court will immediately hold the Ministry of Punishment accountable, and he, the Minister of Punishment, will be responsible.

If it is exposed later, he can use this time to find out the person who caused the obstruction, recover the money, and turn the big problem into a trivial one.

"Okay grandpa."

"Shilang Fang, wait a moment."

Liu Yichen guessed that there was something wrong with the bill.

Fang Yuan did not dare to show his dissatisfaction, and his attitude became friendly.

"Shilang Fang, it may take some time to find out these two bills. Can you give the Criminal Department some time?"

Liu Zhenghui poured tea for Fang Yuan himself and said politely.

The change in attitude before and after made the two officials who accompanied Fang Yuan stunned.

"If you can't help it, how can you endure Liu Shangshu pouring tea?"

"It's just that Liu Shangshu doesn't mind my low status anymore?"

Fang Yuan snatched the teapot from Liu Zhenghui's hand.

Without agreeing to the other party's conditions, Fang Yuan cannot bear the other party pouring tea.

This is the living room of the Criminal Department. If someone sees you like this, it’s hard to say what kind of words will come out.

"Shilang Fang is young and promising. He is already a fourth-rank official at a young age. I admire him deeply. How can I dislike him?"

Liu Zhenghui braved his conscience and said.

After saying that, he couldn't help but be stunned and nodded in agreement with what he said.

He had never disliked or looked down upon Fang Yuan. Today, he was dissatisfied with Tang Jian and found a minister to deal with him.

Originally, the Ministry of Household Affairs was the second most powerful department under the Ministry of Personnel. If Tang Jian did this again, his reputation and power would far exceed that of the other four departments.

"Isn't that right?"

Fang Yuan doesn't quite believe him.

I don’t know how many officials in the court feel that they are too young and not worthy of sitting in the position of Minister of Household Affairs.

Liu Zhenghui is an old man. He is a founding hero and has made great contributions to sit in this position.

This kind of person will most look down on someone like Fang Yuan, who seems to have little merit, sitting in such a high position.

Of course, there are always surprises in everything, and Fang Yuan cannot say that Liu Zhenghui really looks down on him.

"Here comes the good tea."

Liu Zhenghui is about to speak.

Liu Yichen came back with tea.

She was not alone, but also brought two officials with her, returning with hot boiling water.

When you bring back good tea, you will naturally bring boiling water to make tea.

Therefore, Liu Zhenghui, who wanted to flatter Fang Yuan, did not speak.

Soon, a strong aroma of tea floated in the hall of the Criminal Department.

The two people brought by Fang Yuan seemed to have never collected such good tea, and they both looked intoxicated.

"Let's all sit down and try Liu Shangshu's good tea."

Fang Yuan chuckled.
