I have a role in the heavens

It turned out that the letter just said one thing. It was that the southern state capital near the Great Zen Temple suffered from floods and snow disasters one after another last year. There was no harvest and people died of hunger everywhere. Originally, the imperial court had allocated food and grass for disaster relief. The prince was still responsible for this matter at the time. Yang Gan and the assistant of the Ministry of Household Affairs did not expect that the relief food and grass had not arrived. The victims were angry and went to the government to argue. The local government framed the remnant party of the Dazen Temple for causing trouble, calling it a civil commotion. Jiagou and several nearby villages were suppressed and massacred. All men, women, old and children were nailed to the ground with bamboo sticks. The innocent lives became a stroke of credit in the prince's credit book. Emperor Qian praised him for his promptness and resoluteness in doing things.

Previously, the man Yang Gan's carriage encountered was one of the victims who had narrowly escaped death. Because he had practiced some martial arts in the Great Zen Temple, he traveled thousands of miles and was hunted down several times before he escaped to Yujing City and wanted to file a complaint. , I didn’t expect to be stopped outside Yujing City. I managed to escape to the overpass with serious injuries, but I couldn’t survive in the end.

The next day, Yang Gan came to the lobby of the Ministry of Revenue early and was sitting on the table. A group of officials from the Ministry of Revenue below him looked at Yang Gan quietly. Yang Gan's whole body was exuding chills and he looked at the ministers from the Ministry of Revenue with a cold face.

Everyone was shocked. They didn't know what happened to the cold-faced prince today, so they could only look at Yang Qian carefully.

Yang Qian withdrew his indifferent gaze, looked gloomy, and said in a cold voice.

"Last year, when the south was hit by a disaster, who was responsible for the allocation of food and grass for the disaster relief?"

Yan Kuan, the Minister of Household Affairs, bowed out of the queue and replied to Yang Qian.

"Prince Jade, I assisted the prince in handling this matter!"

The Minister of Hubu is an important official of the second rank in the imperial court. He is second only to the Secretary of Hubu in the Hubu and is an adjutant.

Yang Gan sneered, took out an account book from his sleeve, threw it in front of Yan Kuan's eyes, and said coldly.

"You don't have to use the prince to pressure me, just take a good look at this account book!"

Yan Kuan raised his eyes and glanced at the angry Yang Gan, then picked up the account book from the ground, put it in his hand and flipped through two pages. Cold sweat suddenly broke out on his forehead. The accounts were done so smoothly that even the accountant with many years of experience would find it difficult to spot flaws. However, every transaction in this account book was calculated clearly and accurately, so how could he not be frightened.

Yang Gan looked at Yan Kuan who was even trembling. His palms were placed heavily on the desk in front of him. There was a loud "bang" and the desk collapsed.

All the household officials were startled, and Yan Kuan trembled violently. He could no longer hold the account book in his hand and fell to the ground.

Yang Gan's face was dark and his eyes were full of anger. He stared at Yan Kuan who was standing and said angrily.

"Before the five million taels of disaster relief grain and grass left the capital, you scraped off a layer of oil and water, leaving only three million taels. Another layer was scraped off along the way, and there were still two million taels left. When we arrived in the south, They even intercepted all the food and grass provided for the disaster relief, leaving nothing behind. You guys really cooperated flawlessly. In the end, you directly labeled the victims as rioters and suppressed them all. Do you really think that Daqian has no law and justice?"

Hearing such evil words, Yan Kuan was so frightened that he collapsed, fell to his knees, and kept kowtowing to Yang Qian to beg for mercy.

"Your Majesty, this matter is not my fault alone. For the sake of the prince, please spare me this time!"

Yang Gan was immediately furious. He stood up directly, walked to Yan Kuan, squatted down, stretched out his hand to pinch and lift Yan Kuan's chin, and looked at the round face in front of him, with deep disgust flashing in his eyes. Staring fiercely at Yan Kuan's little eyes, his voice sounded like it was coming from hell.

"You don't have to use the prince to pressure me. My father ordered me to be in charge of the household department. Even the prince can't reach out randomly. Otherwise, how will I be in charge of the household department? Do you think that's right?"

A trace of fear flashed in Yan Kuan's eyes, and he felt a biting chill in his heart. His body tightened and he did not dare to answer. His whole body was shaking and sweating like rain.

Yang Qian let go of the hand holding Yan Kuan's chin, took out a handkerchief from his sleeve in disgust, wiped it, threw the handkerchief to the ground, stood up, and ordered sternly.

"Come here, pull Master Yan down and steam him. I want to see how much people's fat and oil can flow out of him?"

Yan Kuan suddenly became incontinent and collapsed on the ground. A ball of yellow liquid flowed out from under his body. The smell was so fishy that people couldn't help but cover their mouth and nose.

The other officials of the Ministry of Household Affairs were also shocked and looked at Yang Qian in shock. Wang Zheng, the Secretary of the Ministry of Household Affairs, immediately stood up and stopped him.

"Your Majesty, this must not be done. The imperial court has its own laws. Mr. Yan is a second-rank minister. Even if the crime is worthy of death, he should be punished by your Majesty. How can such violent torture be used?"

Yang Gan held his nose with his hand, glanced at the ministers of the Ministry of Revenue, smiled coldly, and said in a deep voice.

"If you are not convinced, you can ask my father for a copy at any time. But today I am determined to kill Yan Kuan. You all should go to watch the ceremony and see with your own eyes what the consequences will be if you eat the inside and outside of the court's laws as if they were nothing. Don't think that There is a master behind you who can support you, so I won’t dare to deal with you!”

"Come here, why don't you drag Yan Kuan down and steam him!"

"My lord, please spare my life. I don't dare to do it anymore. It was the prince who ordered me to do this!"

Yan Kuan shouted heartbreakingly and even pulled the prince out, not caring about what to do in the future.

Yang Qian was unmoved, his eyes were cold and ruthless, and the imperial guards outside the door walked in.

The lobby of the Ministry of Finance was originally set up in the palace. The Imperial Guards were ordered to pull Yan Kuan, who was crying heartbrokenly, to the square outside the Ministry of Finance. They lit a fire nearby and placed a large stove on top of it. Steamer, put the tightly tied Yan Kuan inside, and close the lid of the steamer.

Yang Gan glanced at the ministers of the Ministry of Revenue and forced them coldly.

"Everyone, let's go out together and open your eyes, so as not to do things without any scruples in the future!"

All the officials of the Ministry of Revenue turned their attention to Wang Zheng, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and asked him for the idea.

Yang Gan also cast his gaze at him, with coldness and murderous intent in his eyes, heading towards Wang Zheng.

Wang Zheng's heart felt cold, and he did not dare to openly oppose Yang Gan. He sighed, looked a little older, and walked outside.

Upon seeing this, all the officials from the Ministry of Revenue followed closely behind, with a trace of fear and apprehension on their faces. Their steps were light and they did not dare to make any strange noise.

Yang Qian smiled coldly, strolled leisurely, and followed him out.

Everyone stood in the square, looking at the steamer above the blazing flames. Their faces turned pale, their bodies were swaying, and they did not dare to keep looking at it.

When the other six ministry officials saw the household officials gathered in the square and a huge steamer, they thought they were preparing some delicacies, so they all left the room and stood in the distance to watch.
