"I never expected that such a day would come." Yue Shan stood in front of the main entrance of Prince Chen's Mansion with mixed emotions.

"Who can imagine this?" Chen Wangqi's second son stood in front of him with a pale face, wearing shackles and chains, trying to keep calm.

However, his slightly trembling body had betrayed him.

"The old prince taught me to be loyal to the country." Yue Shan avoided the other party's sight: "I did it."

"Hehehehehe." The other party gave a low and mocking laugh: "Really?"

During his lifetime, King Chen always felt that Yue Shan was his.

Along with many people including Yue Shan, King Chen thought that they were his own people.

It's a secret, it's a network, it's an investment.

There are not a few people like Yueshan who were born in poverty and were given the opportunity by King Chen to have the life they have today.

But when faced with the inexplicable crime of "regicide and usurping the throne," none of these people dared to say a word of justice.

No one in the court, not even the princes, dared to say anything.

Because the late emperor is really dead.

It was real, he was assassinated alive in public!

Someone must be responsible for such a big thing.

And the status of the person carrying it cannot be low.

If it's too low, you won't be qualified to carry it.

According to the practice of the previous emperors before the Young Emperor, it is actually good to push it to foreign countries and launch a war by the way.

But since the new emperor has the ability to push the matter to the five princes, and the other princes have also shut their mouths, then the matter must be done by these five princes.

When such a big thing is committed, no matter who dares to say anything fair, the outcome is already doomed.

It's just that no one in the entire Prince Chen's Mansion would have thought that Yue Shan would be the one carrying out the task of ransacking the house.

"It's useless for anyone to say anything about such a big matter." Yue Shan could only apologize: "But there is a legacy of blood in the palace."

The other party looked over.

Yue Shan explained in a low voice: "Qin Fuzheng had communicated with the sixth lady in the house earlier, maybe half a year ago."

The other party was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes widened in astonishment: "What did you say?"

"Half a year ago, Qin Fuzheng promised the Sixth Young Lady that when the house was ransacked, he would protect the Seventeenth Young Master."

A chill ran from the tailbone to the back of the head.

Chilling all over: "Half a year ago?"

"Half a year ago!"

He gritted his teeth: "You! You betray the Lord and be ungrateful!"

Yueshan sighed.

While sighing, he slapped the other person on the face, leaving bloody marks on his handsome and pale face.

"ungrateful!"

"And that bitch!"

"I have received all the favors and honors from my family, yet I collude with outsiders and plot against my own blood relatives."

"Killing our ancestors and uncles is unkind and unjust!"

The other party was in extreme pain, looking up to the sky and hissing, his face was ferocious and twisted, his teeth were clenched, and his eyes were bleeding.

Yue Shan sighed and grabbed the account book.

With a gentle wave of the other hand, the door of Prince Chen's Mansion opened, and the people from the Supervision Department and the censors filed in.

"The house was ransacked."

The people sent by the imperial court brought with them carloads of shackles and shackles. In addition to the people wearing the shackles, what they wanted to take away was mainly various property.

House deeds, land deeds, pearls, jade, antiques, cash, antiques, grain, seals.

These are all money.

Searching homes is a technical job.

Also a fat guy.

As a close subordinate of the new emperor, Yue Shan was able to get this job at this critical moment, so naturally he was not a vegetarian.

"Tell brothers, don't be in a hurry to get it in your small pocket."

"Your Majesty, by your grace, promised that there would be some natural waste in the process of searching the house."

"You can report the loss later."

"Your Majesty gave it a nice name for these losses."

"It's called administrative attrition."

"The upper limit is 10% of the total."

"Brothers, first search everything, put it in the warehouse, and compile a booklet. It won't be too late for everyone to lose it."

"But if someone loses it early, then don't blame Yue for not having eyes in the guillotine under his hand."

"Also, the people in the mansion cannot be wasted casually."

"These are also money."

"It belongs to the imperial court, not to the brothers."

"After this is done, brothers remember to pay taxes."

"After paying the tax, Mr. Yue invited the brothers to have a good time in the Grand View Garden for three days."

Yue Shan shouted loudly, and Yazi and Fanzi's men worked harder.

Confiscation of homes is a common thing.

But raiding the palace is not something that can be done casually.

It has been more than a hundred years since the founding of Dayun, and no one in the past has raided the palace of any prince.

"Yue Du." His subordinate Fanzi brought the secret accounts of the inner palace to Yue Shan: "These are the various properties of Prince Chen's palace."

"So many?" Yue Shan was surprised: "I knew that the palace was the richest place in the world, but I didn't expect that there are so many property accounts."

"This is not the accounts of the industry." Fanzi whispered: "This is the name of the industry and the list of those in charge."

Yue Shan was stunned: "That's it?"

"That's just it." Fanzi nodded: "There are too many account books, and the cars are being loaded in the basement."

"Heh..." Yue Shan took a deep breath: "That's fine, that makes sense."

"Brothers, after finishing this job, they have earned all their lifetime expenses."

"Loss." Fanzi reminded carefully.

"You're right, we need to pay more attention to the losses." Yue Shan put his hand on the account book and said slowly: "This amount is not small when you think about it. You can sort it out quickly. I will report to His Majesty the Emperor first and ask.

It would be more appropriate to ask how much we have lost."

If the amount of money is too large, they, the petty officials, would be wary even if they could take it.

Fanzi smiled and said, "Then Governor Yue should say a few more kind words to the brothers."

"Don't worry, this is natural." Yue Shan patted the other party's shoulder: "Go and do the work."

…

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?" Qin Zheng led the crowd, facing Gu Feixue who had no image of an emperor, and did not care about the other party's loss of etiquette, his face was ashen, so he asked.

"What do you mean?" Gu Feixue crossed her feet, her sandals dangling on her delicate white feet: "Don't you understand? Add a tax."

"Your Majesty, it is okay to increase taxes."

"But this administrative loss..." Qin Zheng took a deep breath and resisted the urge to scold his mother: "Does your Majesty know what this means?"

"What do you mean?" Gu Feixue laughed: "Don't you know what it means?"

"Old Minister, of course I know it."

"That's why I have to ask His Majesty."

"What does this tax mean when it is implemented?"

"It's just a tax increase."

"But Your Majesty." Qin Zheng suppressed his anger: "If taxes are increased, then this 'administrative loss' is legal."

"So what?" Gu Feixue asked confusedly: "Can it be said that because it is illegal, it can be banned?"

Qin Zheng took a deep breath.

Of course he knows what it is.

Of course you know what this means.

Of course, we know that even if it is illegal, this kind of loss is simply inevitable.

But how can this be said?

How can it be recognized as legitimate?

If this continues, will the country have a future?

Is there any hope for politics?
