Chapter 303.1: Turning Into Child's Play

The threat couldn't be more obvious. The calves directly trembled, not just these accountants, but also the officials to the side.

Eunuch Mu seemingly didn't disdain making the matter big, sinisterly looking to the crowd of officials, "Wangye's meaning is just, whenever these account books are entirely sorted clearly is whenever everyone can return home. If one day won't do, then just two days; if two days won't do, then just three days; three days won't do, then just four five six days. One will eventually be able to have it all sorted out clearly. Of course, the ones with no problems can go back, but the ones with problems, probably will have to move to another place to live."

The black clad guards were just standing to the side, and at the doorway of each side room, there was also a person guarding. Inside were four partitioned compartments, the side room door kept open, the situation inside obvious at a glance. This level of strictness was practically countless times more serious than the imperial exam. In the majority of the officials' hearts, there was just one thought left: 'It's over, it's over, thoroughly over!'

(T/N: The side wing is referring to the row of rooms on the east and west side of the main building of a courtyard, usually just extra rooms for various uses and often used as guest rooms.)

"Wangye, letting accountants other than the ones from the government offices check the accounts, is it not somewhat inappropriate?" Inspector General Su stood out and said.

The others all inwardly nodded in their hearts. Letting these people get involved, wouldn't it make everyone all aware of the state's financial situation?

"If imperial father blames, naturally there's this prince taking responsibility, so needless for everyone to worry."

Inspector General Su retreated back, no longer speaking. One has know, this Chongzhou Fu's accounts doesn't have anything to do with him at all.

The accountants went forwards to take the account books while trembling in fear, afterwards, entering the side rooms in order, beginning to calculate. One has to know, these people were all kinds of outstanding talents, and similarly produced quite a few fake accounts before. The twists and turns inside, they most likely all knew. This while, before even flipping through that many, their foreheads were already starting to sweat..........

Li Hong Yuan also very much had the leisure mood to accompany them in waiting. With the scorching sun directly overhead, Li Hong Yuan propped up a super large umbrella above his head. Iced heat-dispelling soup, fresh fruits, the guards swaying the fan..........In comparison the others were just extremely miserable. If there weren't this contrast, perhaps one would feel a little better............

The living Enma, the living Enma, regardless whether it was his crude methods that disregarded everything, not scared of offending anyone, or his vile personality that completely didn't have the others taken seriously, all in all had these two words manifested vividly and thoroughly without exception. Try switching with someone else, never mind the other princes, afraid even Le Cheng Emperor all won't be this extreme, and this ruthless.

Li Hong Yuan waved his hand. Eunuch Mu immediately just gladly and diligently ran to fetch a portion of the already audited account books. The problematic areas were already marked out, appearing rather obvious at a glance. Li Hong Yuan casually flipped through, though one was unable to make out any indications from his face. After flipping through one, he just tossed to one side, then started flipping through the next one, "Your guts are actually much smaller than what this prince had anticipated."

Is this considered a praise? Can one because of this just slightly relax a breath? Jin Qinwang as expected was one that didn't understand common affairs, not knowing the value of gold and silver?

Gong mama came over, "Wangye, it's time for the afternoon meal. Wangfei sent this servant to come ask, where should the meal be arranged?"

"Is there a need to arrange it somewhere? Each person, one bowl of noodle soup, can just eat while holding it, still need to arrange it somewhere?"

Even the corner of Gong mama's mouth couldn't help but twitch. Wangye, do you need to be this harsh? It's just a meal, that's all. Going this far, aren't you afraid of getting cursed in all kinds of ways by this many people? Alright, all say, disasters last for thousands of years. This disaster among disasters, would the people cursing him even be few? And one didn't see any damage in the slightest either. "Yes."

After sitting for a little while longer, Li Hong Yuan slowly got up. Clearly, it was preparing to go back and enjoy his delicious meal.

Before even taking a few steps, there was already a large group of people coming over carrying the meal in hand. Walking before Li Hong Yuan, they properly greeted, and among them, there was no lack of the beautiful servant girls previously left behind here. But, at present, not a single person whatsoever dared to have any inappropriate actions, let alone trying to seductively charm the master.

"Wangye, wangfei said this meal certainly will be arranged here, so sending someone to come ask was rather excessive, and thus ordered us to send it over."

Speaking of which, in the end, they've been husband and wife for more than two months now. In addition to being together day and night, the feelings warming quickly, and the things that should be said, and shouldn't be said, all candidly said, the tacit understanding was also gradually forming. Just like right now, Gong mama still haven't gone back, yet Jing Wan immediately just guessed what Li Hong Yuan might do, so might as well just directly make the final decision. And Li Hong Yuan, seeing these dishes, also roughly understood Jing Wan's meaning, letting out a cold snort, and leaving.

The servants just followed wangfei's orders and swiftly propped up the table, one by one having the dishes arranged. It can be said to be aromatic and delicious looking.

In addition to this fine wine, the fragrance further uncontrollably made its way into the nose. The group of officials looked to one another, swallowing their saliva. So do they eat or not eat? The morning meal still haven't been eaten, just rushing out the door as soon as possible, so their stomach was already singing the empty city stratagem.

The one taking the lead, without a doubt, was still Inspector General Su. Although he can't interfere in Shannan Prefecture's affairs, but just based on rank, he was still the highest. Shannan Prefecture's Inspector General and Governor-General still haven't arrived yet. It was said that Shannan Prefecture's Governor-General went to the other various fu to patrol, and still haven't been found. And the Inspector General also just happened to not be present. Who doesn't know that for these people, it was hiding every day they can, and probably when they truly are unable to continue hiding will they finally show themselves.

Inspector General Su just said, "To not eat, wouldn't that be wasting her Highness wangfei's kindly intentions." Thus, everyone began eating without the slightest pressure.

Soon after, it was sending food to the various accountants, and naturally needed to be a grade lower. It couldn't be helped, the problem of status was placed there. No one would feel it was wrong. If Jing Wan were to argue, then that would make people feel baffled. In contrast, even if the meal was a grade inferior, it was also rare for the various accountants to be able to eat something like it, temporarily tossing aside the worries and opening their appetite.

Afterwards, this flock of black clad guards naturally can't be left out either, separating into groups and going to eat in order. Don't blame Jing Wan for being bias, this group of brethren's meal was even better than those officials'.

Of course, with this many people, to want to fill everyone's stomach, that bit of space in the back kitchen was far from enough, temporarily building a cooking station. Afterwards, it was just the various officials providing people and providing support. Speaking of which, having lent people to Li Hong Yuan, yet one still needed to suffer hardships, needing to feel apprehensive, how can it just be summed up as miserable?
