The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance could not tell that the emperor was asking for money in a roundabout way.

However, now that the account book in his hand has been found to have errors, and his hair is being pulled. If he still insists that he can't get the money out, then His Majesty is afraid that he will be held accountable for making false accounts. This problem may be big or small, it all depends on how the emperor investigates it. The younger one just laughed it off, while the older one's family was ruined.

Sweat broke out from the back of the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue. After a while, he reluctantly said: "In this case... Rong Weichen will go back and check the account books before reporting to Your Majesty."

Mo Xiao raised his eyebrows: "Why, these account books are all falsified, so can't you get a penny out of the account?"

This is a clear threat.

However, the Minister of the Ministry of Finance had previously insisted that he had no money. Now he suddenly said that he had money. Wouldn't that be a slap in the face?

The Minister of Revenue took a deep breath, hesitated for a while, and then said: "Is there still some room left in the account?"

Mo Xiao's eyes became much kinder: "That's very good."

The Secretary of the Ministry of Finance immediately breathed a sigh of relief, bowed to Mo Xiao, and said in a deep voice: "Wei Chen will go back and reorganize the account books."

Mo Xiao didn't leave him alone and waved him away.

As soon as the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue left, Mo Chengning, who had been pretending just now, immediately stopped pretending. He threw down the account book in his hand and stood up. His eyes were bright: "This old bastard has to suffer a lot."

"It's frustrating to deal with him for so long."

That old guy was like a loach with slippery hands. He wanted money without risking his life. He was a very bachelor. Every time he got angry, Mo Xiao and his son beat their chests, but there was nothing they could do.

There was also a smile in Mo Xiao's eyes: "His account is impeccable. You can find flaws in it, which is very good."

Mo Chengning definitely did not mention the sleepless nights he had spent these days, and only said with some pride: "What is true is true, what is false is false, and what is false cannot be true."

Mo Xiao: "Good boy."

The father and son looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

Mo Xiao sighed: "Finally, I pried his mouth open, and I can get some money out of it. No matter how much it is, it's a good start."

Mo Chengning nodded: "Father, don't worry, there is definitely money in the Account Department's account, and I will definitely find it for you."

With that said, he walked to the ink flute table and reached out to flip through the scroll: "Did that bastard Tuoba Xuan really draw people? I want to see how brave he is."

As soon as the scroll was opened, Mo Chengning's expression changed, and he turned around and walked out: "I'm going to kill him now."

Mo Xiao grabbed Mo Chengning and pointed at the mole at the corner of the person's eye in the painting: "Look at this."

Mo Chengning huffed and looked over, his expression paused.

The person in the painting is 90% similar to Lin Jiuqing. But adding a small mole at the end of the eye covered up the similarity. After all, Lin Jiuqing's eyes were clean and there was no mole.

Mo Xiao said calmly: "He is quite clever. He left himself a way out and did not finish the matter completely."

Mo Chengning snorted: "If it weren't for this mole, if this painting spread, my mother's reputation would be ruined."

Mo Xiao: "I won't let this happen."

Mo Chengning stared at the painting with a dark face for a while, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "I will tolerate him for a while longer. After I blow up the money from the household department, I will slowly deal with him."
