Chapter 8: Minister of Works Zhao Chang

Xiao Fan was overjoyed when he returned to his own courtyard.

In his opinion, Arabic numerals are just like that. It is worth exchanging one or two taels of Enlightenment Tea. Enlightenment Tea can help him understand the skills faster.

The sooner his strength improves, the safer it will be.

Another ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Fan did not cause trouble except for occasionally strolling on the street. His idea was very simple, just stay here for a year and a half.

As long as his cultivation level can improve, and the lifespan of a Martial Emperor-level figure can reach up to two thousand years, there is no need for him to rush around.

"System, sign in!"

Xiao Fan said in his mind after taking a shower and changing clothes.

"Signing in successfully...Congratulations to the host for getting a bottle of Perfect Returning Pill. Taking one pill can increase your cultivation level by one year."

"The effect of more than ten pills is halved."

"The elixir has been stored in the system space."

The system voice sounded.

Xiao Fan's mind sank into the system space, and he quickly saw the bottle of pills. There were twenty pills in this bottle.

"Taking all the pills in this bottle will add a total of fifteen years of cultivation. It's not bad, it's better than the last time."

Xiao Fan thought to himself.

He didn't expect to win the big prize after just two or three serious draws.

"System, how is this different from the cultivation level in the lottery?"

Xiao Fan asked in his mind.

The system said: "The cultivation level can be improved directly. The cultivation level can be improved in a very short time. You can only take one pill of this kind every day."

"In addition, the direct cultivation can only be used by the host yourself. The elixir you get can be used by others."

Xiao Fan nodded secretly, that's why.

"If the situation is critical, it would be better to get the cultivation reward directly. In my current situation, it would be better to get the pill reward."

Xiao Fan thought to himself.

After all, he is in the Prince's Mansion and is not in danger so easily. No one suspects that there is something wrong with the Prince yet.

Qin Xuan used powerful treasures, and his acting skills were too strong.

Xiao Fan has been in the Prince's Mansion for three years, but he didn't notice it before.

"Bastard thing!"

In the Prince's Mansion, Qin Xuan's face was gloomy.

He asked his two cronies to learn Arabic numerals and new methods of checking accounts, and they found several bugs in just ten days.

One of the moths is still in the court and holds a high position.

"Father, I have something to report."

Qin Xuan went to the palace and met his father Qin Zhentian.

"Xuanxuan, why are you so angry?"

Qin Zhentian smiled.

In his place, Qin Xuan became her original appearance.

"Father, Xiao Fan taught me a new counting method——"

Qin Xuan told Qin Zhentian what Xiao Fan taught him.

"Father, I asked a few of my cronies to check some account books, and I found that several people had committed a lot of corruption. The corruption of Zhao Chang, Minister of the Ministry of Industry, was very serious."

Qin Xuan said and took out a piece of information from the space treasure.

"Father, please take a look."

Qin Zhentian looked at it again and frowned.

He knew that Zhao Chang, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, was corrupt, but Qin Zhentian never expected that Zhao Chang's corruption was so serious.

"Xuanxuan, are you sure it's correct?"

Qin Zhentian said in a deep voice.

Qin Xuan nodded: "Father, Zhao Chang is the Minister of Industry after all. I was afraid of making a mistake, so I checked it myself."

"He embezzled more than 80 million Tianlong coins."

Qin Zhentian's face was gloomy.

Eighty million yuan has been found out, and there must be many more that have not been found out. The amount of Zhao Chang's corruption may be as high as hundreds of millions of Tianlong coins.

"Father, Zhao Chang has corrupted so much. Our Tianlong Empire has been corrupted by those corrupt officials and we don't know how much!"

Qin Xuan was very angry.

There is no doubt that the Tianlong Empire is very powerful, but the treasury is not very full, and there is not enough money to solve many problems.

If there were not so many borers, or if there were fewer borers, the situation of the Tianlong Empire would be much better, and the treasury would be much fuller.

"Xuanxuan, I didn't expect Xiao Fan to be so talented."

"When you ascend the throne, you can reuse him then! Forget it now, it's better for him to keep a low profile now."

Qin Zhentian Dao.

Qin Xuan nodded: "Father, this is what I think. Don't spread the simple counting method Xiao Fan said."

"We secretly audited the accounts and weeded out some corrupt officials."

Qin Zhentian nodded slightly: "Xuanxuan, please investigate secretly first. Zhao Chang and the others won't move for the time being. Your marriage is the most important thing."

"Um."

Qin Xuan nodded.

It was only a little over a month before she married Jiang Yuli, and time was already very tight. This was really not the right time to start a big fight.

Zhao Chang is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and his involvement in corruption is definitely not small. At this time, there is a big earthquake in the officialdom, which may affect her wedding.

"Is Jiang Yuli not too repulsive?"

Qin Zhentian asked.

Qin Xuan shook her head: "She still understands the general situation and is not very repulsive. Xiao Fan's performance is not bad."

Qin Zhentian said in a deep voice: "Xuanxuan, you must seize the time to familiarize yourself with various government affairs. There is not much time left for you."

Qin Xuan looked at her father in surprise.

"Father, why do you say that?"

Qin Zhentian's eyes showed worry: "Father, I always feel uneasy lately."

"Father, you need to retreat earlier and attack the later period of Emperor Wu with all your strength. After you get married, you will have to formally handle various government affairs."

"There will be no problem in a year and a half. My father will pass the throne to you. My father must strive to reach the late stage of Emperor Wu within two years."

Qin Xuan was a little nervous.

"Father, is the situation so urgent?"

She originally estimated that her father could still reign for six or seven years, and three to five years would be no problem, but she didn't expect that there would only be one and a half years left.

Many people dream of becoming an emperor, but Qin Xuan really doesn't.

Qin Zhentian frowned: "After all, it has been six years since our ancestors entered the ancient secret realm. The longer we stay in it, the more dangerous it becomes."

"It's most likely that something happened to our ancestors."

Qin Xuan consoled her: "Father, don't worry too much. We in the royal family have many experts, and our ancestors are not the only ones."

"Um."

Qin Zhentian nodded slightly.

"Don't cause any problems there. As long as your identity is not exposed, the royal family will be able to stabilize and the situation will be controllable."

"Father, I know."

…

The residence of Zhao Chang, Minister of the Ministry of Industry.

"master."

When the third manager of Zhao Mansion came to Zhao Chang, he saluted respectfully.

Zhao Chang's mansion is not small, and there are three general managers.

The third manager, Jiang Jingwu, has the lowest position on the surface, but he is trusted by Zhao Chang the most and is secretly responsible for some things that are not on the table.

"Is something wrong?"

Zhao Chang opened his eyes and said.

He is in the training room and he hates being disturbed when he is practicing.

"Master, there is indeed something going on."

Jiang Jingwu said.

Zhao Chang did not get up immediately. He continued to practice, and a huge flame dragon hovering around him entered his body.

Zhao Chang is the Minister of the Ministry of Industry, and he is also a powerful warrior at the level of Emperor Wu.

There is only one step away from Emperor Wu.

It's a pity that if you are lucky, you can take this step immediately. If you are not lucky, you may not be able to take it even if it takes hundreds of years.

"What's up?"

Zhao Chang, who had finished his work, asked.

Jiang Jingwu said: "Sir, His Royal Highness the Prince's audit found you, and it seems that he also used a new method of auditing."

"Um?"

Zhao Chang narrowed his eyes.

"Sir, the prince went to the palace today."

Zhao Chang's eyes flickered.

The prince went to the palace at this time and might have found out something.

"Where did he get his new accounting method?"

"Sir, Shen An said it was provided by Xiao Fan, the prince's attendant." (PS, Shen An's identity will be revealed later)

Zhao Chang snorted coldly: "The little prince's attendant, he is looking for death!"
