432: C432 Moody Su Shiren

C432 Moody Su Shiren

In the main hall, only the emperor, Su Shiren, and the ministers of Ministry of Revenue were left.

Although the emperor had left them behind, the ministers of the Ministry of Revenue were extremely relaxed.

They did not see His Majesty smiling.

It was obvious that there were benefits to be given to the Ministry of Revenue!

How could they not feel relaxed!

"Kou Yinhuo!"

Su Shiren's gaze swept towards the Ministry of Revenue's Assistant Minister, Kou Yinhuo.

"This official is here!"

Kou Yinhuo immediately bowed when he heard this.

The corners of his mouth could not help but curl up. His Majesty was the first to call him. What did this mean?

It meant that he valued him!

How could Kou Yinhuo not be happy?

It was worth mentioning that this Kou Yinhuo had just said it when the ministers were bootlicking Su Xingyu. "He really deserves to be called crown prince. With such filial piety, which prince can compare with him?" The master of this sentence!

Kou Yinhuo lowered his head, full of joy.

What would His Majesty say to him?

If nothing unexpected happened, it would be a reward.

Didn't our Ministry of Revenue go to Zinan County to give a disaster a while ago?

His Majesty probably did it for this matter.

This is the reward that we deserve!

Kou Yinhuo thought to himself. He had already begun imagining the scene of him getting promoted and making a fortune in his mind.

"Dear Minister Kou!"

"A while ago, you went to Zinan to gift a disaster to someone. It was you, wasn't it?"

Su Shiren asked.

As expected, his words mentioned the matter of giving gifts to the disaster.

"Yes, this official!"

"This official has traveled through mountains and rivers, day and night, traveling all the way... Although I am exhausted because of this, this official is willing to endure it!"

When Kou Yinhuo heard this, he immediately replied "humbly."

When he heard this, Su Shiren asked in a meaningful manner.

"In that case, it must have been hard on you, Minister!"

Kou Yinhuo almost laughed out loud.

Good, he had a good impression of the king in front of him.

He had really earned a lot!

However, although he was overjoyed in his heart, a solemn expression appeared on his face instead.

"This official did not work hard!"

"Serving the universe, serving His Majesty, it is this official's duty!"

When these words came out, the originally smiling Su Shiren's expression instantly became gloomy.

A gloomy voice came out of his mouth.

"Kou Qing is truly the role model for the ministers of Universe Dynasty!"

"His expression is as one and his words are agreeable. Very good, very good!"

"He spent three days to deliver a disaster, and his income was in the millions!"

"Such a good job. Even if it was me, I wouldn't feel tired, and I would gladly endure it!"

Su Shiren's voice was not loud, but it sounded gloomy.

Kou Yinhuo who was originally secretly delighted instantly turned numb.

His brain went blank, and his body felt as if it had been struck by lightning. He just stood there in a daze!

His Majesty... actually knew?

Not only Kou Yinhuo, but the other ministers of the Ministry of Revenue also had pale faces. They were all scared out of their wits!

No matter which era it was, or which generation it was, corrupt officials would always exist!

No matter how wise the emperor was, no matter how bloodthirsty the emperor was, he would never be able to kill corrupt officials!

As an ambitious and ambitious person, Su Shiren actually did not hate corrupt officials!

As long as corrupt officials were capable of doing things, he would basically turn a blind eye.

After all, when the water was clear, there was no fish!

He understood this principle!

The Imperial Court had allocated fifty million to Zinan Prefecture for this disaster.

Kou Yinhuo had corrupted a million.

The other Ministry of Revenue officials, including all the officials in Zinan Prefecture, had taken another 4 million.

In other words, there were 45 million left for the disaster.

This speed was within Su Shiren's acceptable range.

Originally, he would not reveal this matter.

After all, although the Ministry of Revenue was greedy, their abilities weren't bad.

Especially this Kou Yinhuo. Although he looked like he had no moral principles, he was actually a practical person.

Unfortunately, this was what Su Shiren originally thought!

But now, it was different!

Who said... This Kou Yinhuo was just spouting nonsense earlier!

Su Shiren would never show mercy to anyone who dared to touch Xingchen's son!

"Your... Your Majesty!"

Kou Yinhuo opened his mouth nervously. His voice was trembling.

Su Shiren looked at Kou Yinhuo with a gloomy expression.

He was silent for a moment and slowly spoke.

"Speak!"

"What do you think Zhen should do with you?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Kou Yinhuo, who was originally trembling, immediately heaved a sigh of relief.

Since His Majesty had asked this question, it meant that his life was saved.

However, it was inevitable that he would be dismissed.

After all, His Majesty rarely asked about matters of greed.

But once he asked... that would not be a small matter.

"This official is guilty and has failed His Majesty's expectations!"

"This official is willing to dismiss the official and return home!"

Kou Yinhuo knelt down and prostrated on the ground.

The surrounding Ministry of Revenue officials looked at Kou Yinhuo with sympathy.

Unfortunately, they couldn't even protect themselves now. Who would dare to plead on Kou Yinhuo's behalf?

"Dismissed?"

"That's good too..."

Su Shiren heard this and muttered to himself.

When the ministers heard this, they all heaved a sigh of relief.

This meant that His Majesty would not expand the scope of the corruption case.

Even Kou Yinhuo, this fellow who ate a large portion of the money, was only a dismissal.

The rest of them, at most, would be demoted and penalized.

"Thank you, Your Majesty..."

When Kou Yinhuo heard this, he was just about to say thank you, Your Majesty, for not killing them.

However, before he could finish, he heard His Majesty's gloomy voice.

"Someone come!"

"Kou Yinhuo is greedy for millions of yuan, and he is a man of honor to the people!"

"Yes!"

"Order, take away the Kou family. All one hundred and eighteen Kou family members will be banished to Barbarian Ridge!"

Su Shiren's gloomy voice had just been heard.

A few expressionless guards with sabers immediately flew out from the darkness and dragged Kou Yinhuo out like tigers and tigers.

The poor Kou Yinhuo was stunned.

He would never have thought of this.

What really caused him and the Kou family to fall into an irrecoverable situation wasn't corruption!

Rather... He spoke without restraint!

"How dare you say that my Xingchen's son is unfilial!"

"Then Zhen will let your Kou family go to Barbarian Ridge to perform filial piety for you!"

Looking at Kou Yinhuo who was dragged out like a dead dog, a trace of ferociousness flashed across the corner of Su Shiren's mouth.

The other Ministry of Revenue ministers had long been scared silly.

All these years, His Majesty had become more and more kind.

It made them forget that His Majesty had climbed up a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, step by step!

He was a bloodthirsty person!

We are really muddle-headed!

"Northern Guo Xia!"

Su Shiren turned around and looked at the Ministry of Revenue's Shang Shu, Northern Guo Xia.

When Northern Guo Xia heard this, he immediately shivered and knelt down.

"This... This official is here!"

Su Shiren stared at Bei Guo Xia a few times.

"Your assistant minister is greedy."

"You Shangguan, you have a responsibility that cannot be shirked!"

"You don't have to be the Minister. Go and take over Kou Yinhuo's position."

"Be a good assistant minister, we'll talk after you clean up the Ministry of Revenue!"

Hearing this, Bei Guo Xia didn't even dare to fart and agreed obediently.

Although... he felt wronged!

In the entire Ministry of Revenue, he was the most honest.

Otherwise, even Kou Yinhuo, the assistant minister, would be greedy for millions of calamity silver.1

No matter how he looked at it, this Shangguan would need at least two million yuan.

In this way, the entire corruption case would have more than five million.

Of course, Su Shiren also knew that Northern Guo Xia, the Minister of Ministry of Revenue, was wronged.

But there was nothing he could do. His subordinate had made a huge mess. If Shangguan did not take the blame, who would take the blame?

Only by punishing you could the entire Ministry of Revenue be shocked.

Otherwise, just Kou Yinhuo alone would not be able to deter those who were hoping for luck!

Although Su Shiren's original intention was to vent his dissatisfaction towards Kou Yinhuo.

But since he had already made his move, he might as well settle the matter of Ministry of Revenue's corruption at the same time!

This was Su Shiren. Even if he wanted to vent his anger, he still had a clear goal!
