Quick Wear: Crazy Criticism of Villains Asking for Stickers
Chapter 263 The Prime Minister is arguing with the Regent again 12
"Boom boom——" This... Just saying something like that and there's thunder? That's too much!
Seeing his depressed expression, the Minister of Revenue wanted to laugh but didn't dare to: "This subordinate came to apologize. In the case of the disaster silver, it was indeed my subordinate who was indiscriminate and wrongly accused Lord Li."
Li Qing raised her hand and asked him to sit down: "It is a great virtue to correct one's mistakes. Sir, you don't have to feel sorry for this. It's just a small matter. I can't accept this gift. You should take it back."
"In this case, I will not be polite to the Prime Minister." The Minister of Revenue is a straightforward person. If he is not needed, he will take it back and will not make excuses.
"However... although this matter has nothing to do with the Prime Minister, you have embezzled a lot of money in the past. If I find evidence one day, I will show no mercy!"
The Minister of Revenue's words were really unpleasant, no wonder even the Regent was reluctant to take money from him.
"Oh... How is that possible? I have never been greedy..." Fearing that there would be another thunder in the sky, Li Qing did not finish his words:
"I am a good official after all. You will know it later, sir."
The Minister of Revenue couldn't stand his shamelessness, so he left without saying a few words, and took the gift home intact. He was much poorer than the Prime Minister, so why should he give money to others? Humph...
A month later, the disaster silver case finally came to a conclusion.
The person behind the scenes turned out to be Marquis Anguo. The Regent used this as an excuse to find out more crimes committed by Marquis Anguo.
Especially the prince of Anguo Marquis, who raped women, occupied fertile land, oppressed the people...his crimes were too numerous to count. In the end, the Anguo Marquis's mansion was sentenced to confiscation of property and exile.
Prefect Cai was standing in the woods outside the capital city, carrying a small bag on his back, crying loudly and bowing to Li Qing repeatedly, thanking him for saving his family.
The 10,000 taels that Magistrate Cai had embezzled had long been secretly distributed to the people without keeping a single cent. He had always been a good official. In addition, he was under threat, so Xie Zhao's punishment for him was to confiscate half of his property.
Li Qing really couldn't understand why Xiao Pang had so many tears. Just as she was about to take out her handkerchief, Xie Zhao interrupted her:
"Why are you crying? Hurry up and leave. Also, go back and send your property to me, otherwise, I will send you into exile with the Marquis of Anguo!"
"Okay, okay... Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Prime Minister Li. I'll take my leave and see you again if we're lucky enough..."
Prefect Cai climbed into the carriage with his bag, lifted the curtain and wanted to wave to Li Qing, but he saw the Regent snatched Prime Minister Li's handkerchief, smelled it and stuffed it into his arms.
Prefect Cai: “…” These eyes have seen too many things they shouldn’t have seen. I hope I won’t be robbed and killed along the way!
The grove was very quiet, so Li Qing and Xie Zhao disguised themselves and went into the city for shopping.
Xie Zhao stayed in the palace all year round and rarely wandered around during busy times. The two of them walked from the east to the west of the city and bought a lot of miscellaneous little gadgets.
"Qingqing, are you tired? Let's go to the teahouse in front and take a rest?"
"Well, let's go."
Xie Zhao ordered a pot of good tea and a few plates of peanuts and melon seeds. The two of them sat in the private room on the second floor and chatted. After the actor finished singing, the storyteller came on stage.
"In the last chapter, Prime Minister Li was wearing a thin red shirt and was punished by the mistress to kneel in the small garden. It was late and the dew was heavy. A young man in white came quickly in front of him and helped him up. Prime Minister Li's feet went weak and he fell into Su Shaoqing's arms..."
Prime Minister Li on the second floor was shocked by these words: "???" What's going on? There are fan fictions in this era! Or is it him and Su Zijin! ?
The waiter next to him thought it was the first time he heard it, so he kindly explained it to him.
Since the court laws were relatively open-minded towards the common people, there were many such small stories involving royal family members and high-ranking officials. As long as they were not too excessive, no one would punish them.
After the waiter left, Xie Zhao was so angry that he wanted to go down and kill someone. These people wanted to die, why didn’t they make up the story about him and Qingqing? It was obvious that they were a couple!
Li Qing grabbed his wrist and said, "Don't worry, don't worry. Most storytellers are not that brave. Find out who did it and solve the problem from the source."
Xie Zhao hadn't even finished his tea when he pulled Qingqing out of the teahouse and returned to the Prime Minister's Residence through the back door. He held Qingqing in the room and kissed and hugged her for a long time before he felt a little better.
Li Qing's mouth was broken by his biting: "Just be quiet for a while!"
"I can't stop. I've drunk all the vinegar in the capital. I need to eat some meat to relieve the acid! Qingqing... I pretend to be unfamiliar with you and quarrel with you during the day, but can't I do something serious at night?"
"This is not a serious matter!"
Unfortunately, Li Qing couldn't control this jealous mad dog at all. That night, the candle in the Prime Minister's room burned for half the night...
Xie Zhao returned to the palace at night to take a nap. At dawn, he woke up the little emperor and went to court. He also ordered the secret guards: "Huiying, suppress the rumors about Prime Minister Li and Su Zijin! Find the culprit!"
The morning court began and all the ministers came to see the emperor.
Li Qing, as the head of all officials, led everyone from the square to the hall. However, he yawned with every step, his steps were unsteady, and he walked from side to side. No one among the ministers behind him reminded him to pay attention to his image.
The reason was simple. The prime minister had been too annoying recently. All the civil and military officials in the court had been insulted by him. They were very angry but they couldn't scold him. Seeing that something was not right with Li Qing today, everyone was a little happy.
However, they were not the biggest victims. Prime Minister Li's favorite person to criticize was the Regent, and the two of them often stabbed each other in the heart.
Speaking of which, everyone is inexplicably a little worried, worried that one day they won’t be able to see the prime minister in court, but will instead find an unclaimed body in the city!
Out of concern for his colleagues, the person behind Li Qing poked his waist with a tablet and said, "Prime Minister, are you ill?"
"Hiss..." Li Qing turned around and said through gritted teeth: "Don't touch a man's waist casually!"
The official behind: “???” You are not a grown-up girl, why are you being so pretentious?
Li Qing rubbed his waist with one hand. Today's work was more stressful than going to the grave. He must scold a few more people later to adjust his mentality.
"Your Majesty, I have something to report. Recently, there have been some rumors about the Prime Minister and Su Shaoqing in the capital. In my humble opinion, this matter is detrimental to the reputation of the officials in the court and should be stopped immediately!"
As soon as the Minister of Rites finished speaking, all the ministers looked at Li Qing with strange eyes. The Prime Minister's walking posture... was very wrong!
But Su Shaoqing hasn't returned to Beijing yet, no way... is the Prime Minister having an affair!
Li Qing rarely responded: "The Minister of Rites is right, it should be stopped. I am about to be wrongly killed."
Xie Zhao, who was sitting above, coughed lightly, feeling a little guilty, but not much:
"This is a matter concerning an important official in the court, and the people really shouldn't be allowed to make irresponsible comments. The Ministry of Rites should come forward and explain the matter clearly, stating that the Prime Minister and Su Shaoqing are just colleagues. Anyone who dares to talk nonsense again will be punished by going to Jingzhao Prefecture!"
The rumors were suppressed at lightning speed. The people in the capital did not take them seriously in the first place and were soon attracted by other new things and no longer paid attention to the prime minister's romantic rumors.
