Chapter 5158: What's the matter with Mr. Bai?

"The emperor rewarded you with his favor, not to let you do whatever you want. If you want to take advantage of the power of others, you will die!"

"Just focus on doing your job well. You are not a minister yet, and you don't have that much power!"

Seeing the public's criticism, even the two officials of the Sixth Princess who stood on Ye Wudao's side remained silent.

Ye Wudao looked calm and said lightly: "I didn't use the emperor to put a hat on my colleagues, nor did I use the power of others to threaten you. If you really want to think so, then I can't do anything."

Speaking of the latter, Ye Wudao's tone was also a little excited.

"Colleagues can also report me. Everyone can see whether I did something wrong or you did something wrong. I want to see who can cover up the sky of Shenxia with one hand!"

"I want to know, this official shoulders the imperial order, who dares to leave me aside?!"

Hearing this, everyone fell silent. Although the emperor is about to abdicate, he is still a mountain that no one dares to ignore or offend.

Now the Ministry of Industry has made it clear that Ye Wudao cannot be put to death now. This must be the intention of the Fifth Prince.

In the final analysis, no one can figure out the emperor's thoughts. Even the high-ranking Wu Shangshu has a somewhat uncertain expression. Obviously, he can't guess the emperor's thoughts and dare not do anything rashly to Ye Wudao.

After thinking for a moment, he said: "Okay, it's not a big deal. Why bother arguing? At present, there is really no more land. There are only 500,000 square meters."

"Wu Qingyan."

Wu Qingyan stood up and bowed: "Your subordinate is here."

"You deal with 250,000 square meters of land."

"Yes!"

Wu Shangshu frowned slightly and shouted a little unhappy: "Ye Wudao."

Ye Wudao smiled, also stood up and bowed: "Your subordinate is here."

"You also deal with 250,000 square meters of land."

"Yes."

Then, Wu Shangshu said: "This 500,000 square meters of land, the division of the area and other information will be sent to your house, I'll give you five days to negotiate a good price. The Ministry of Finance and the Imperial Palace will also send people to hand over to you. "

"We need to cooperate with them in everything. After all, my Ministry of Works is mainly responsible for building fortifications. The leasing and selling of the land in the imperial city has reached the edge of my Ministry of Works' responsibilities, so we need to be careful."

Wu Qingyan nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Lord Shangshu!"

"Well, there is no other business today. Everyone should retreat and handle their own work well. Some people should not think that they can stretch their hands too long and act recklessly. Today's rampant will surely receive due retribution tomorrow."

Wu Shangshu left a meaningful threat and stood up and left.

Today's meeting of the Ministry of Works is actually not important to others. The main thing is to give the right to lease and sell these lands to Wu Qingyan legitimately.

Obviously, Ye Wudao had no chance, but he took out the jade ruyi and was so arrogant that the officials of the Ministry of Works were a little scared, so they didn't say much.

Wu Shangshu was even more helpless. He couldn't figure out the emperor's thoughts at all, and didn't know what the emperor's attitude towards Ye Wudao was. Seeing Ye Wudao so unscrupulous, he was also secretly wondering in his heart whether Ye Wudao's behavior today was also instructed by the emperor.

Of course, being able to reach the position of a minister is naturally beyond the reach of ordinary people. He must know that the emperor doesn't care much about Ye Wudao.

But it's better to be safe than sorry.

If he accidentally offends the emperor because of this matter, it will not be good for the fifth prince. If it ruins the fifth prince's big event, it will be difficult for him to end it after the sixth princess becomes a princess.

So he still agreed to the suggestion of letting Ye Wudao dispose of half of the land.

...

After leaving the Ministry of Works, Ye Wudao returned to his own mansion.

Not long after, Bai Yuxin, who didn't know where he got the information, came to see him very quickly.

"What's the matter, Lord Bai?" Ye Wudao looked confused.
