Chapter 269: Willing (First Update)

The Minister of the Revenue presented the account books of the revenue department's expenditures over the past three years to the Emperor the next day.

As the Emperor was flipping through the account books, his expression grew darker and more displeased. Unbeknownst to him, he was shocked to discover that just in these three years, nearly ten million taels had disappeared into Marquis Nanping Residence and the Pingxi General's Residence.

Such a colossal amount... How had he allowed this to happen throughout these years?

The Emperor slammed the account books down and ordered sternly, "Summon Yan Li and Yan Lin to me."

The eunuch complied and immediately dispatched someone.
