Liu Yongming waved his hand to tell him to stop talking. Ding Xu was also very understanding and did not explain further.

Liu Yongming said: "Don't explain, I won't listen even if I explain. I didn't think that you were all honest officials, and I didn't intend to arrest you all and punish you. I gave you time to make amends, which is considered to be giving you a chance."

. But I hate others lying to me the most! Anyway, you will all be my subordinates in the future. If you tell me honestly, can I watch you die? Why did you lie to me? It seems that I have to make a decision for you.

A few rules!"

Ding Xu immediately responded: "Sixth Master, you said that the rules you set will become law from now on! They will be punishment! We will all follow them!"

Liu Yongming said: "First, I have collected the account books of each department, each supervisor, each hospital and each room! Don't check the accounts. During the inventory, you said that the account books were missing or destroyed, let alone missing a page or something.

No matter what the reason is, my king, as long as something like this happens during the accounting, the person involved will be prepared to bury his whole family in a mass grave."

Ding Xu responded: "If someone has bad intentions and deliberately disrupts other people's accounts... you know, the personnel in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are complicated, and there are often conflicts between members..."

"I don't care! The account book is your life! If you don't look at the account book well, it only means that you don't care about your own life! Don't tell me about what you have and what you don't have!"

"Yes, yes!" Ding Xu responded repeatedly.

Liu Yongming added: "Second, no fire or water leaks should occur in any warehouse or room! Which room has an accident, the owner of that room will kill a clan! The subordinates will kill him! The relevant servants will be exiled to the border camp as slaves forever.

You are not allowed to return to your hometown.”

Ding Xu was shocked and stopped interrupting.

Liu Yongming added: "Thirdly, from today on, all the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs can only take benefits from me, and can only take rewards from me. If others come to visit and want to give you some gifts, I advise you.

Don't accept it! Let me find out, chop off one of your hands, and don't let me bother you!"

Liu Yongming looked at everyone sitting here, laughed and said: "I have taken the initiative to give you money to make up for your shortfall. Some of you may feel that I am a taken advantage of. I just said these cruel words, maybe some people will

I feel that this king is trying to scare you. In order to prevent you from feeling this way, I have to establish my authority!"

Liu Yongming glanced at the man lying on the ground, pointed with his finger and said: "This man's hands and feet are not clean, and he also lied to me. I can't expect him to make up for the shortfall in the grain depot immediately, so I sent a few

I personally went to his home and sent his wife and concubines to Green Qi Pavilion. I think I can start receiving guests in three or four days. The income from receiving guests will also make up for the shortfall. You can also go and play when you have time.

Play, make up for the loss sooner and finish the job sooner!"

Ding Xu's eyes widened and he didn't dare to breathe, because they knew very well that Liu Yongming's serious expression now was really not a joke.

Liu Yongming snorted and said: "Don't think that your greed for money has nothing to do with your wife and children. They have enjoyed blessings they shouldn't have, and they should pay them back! This man just confessed that it was because his son owed gambling debts outside.

, so he was greedy for ink. I thought about it, since it was his son who caused trouble to him, and the culprit is his son, then let’s deal with his son first, so..."

Liu Yongming glanced at Bu Qingyun, who responded: "It has been sent to be skinned according to Master Six's instructions."

Everyone was startled when they heard the word skinning. One of the doctors was so frightened that he fell backward, lost his balance, and fell under the table.

Other officials nearby quickly helped the person up.

Liu Yongming said to Bu Qingyun: "After peeling the skin, stick it with hay and place it at the entrance of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Let it be used as a doll for everyone to play with on weekdays. As for this person, his son has accepted the crime, so he naturally does not need to die.

, but I still feel that I am giving him too much advantage! I am afraid that he will not remember the principle of 'Don't stretch out your hands, otherwise you will be caught', so asking him to use one hand is not too much. Bu Qingyun!"

"Yes" Bu Qingyun responded and walked to the official's side.

Liu Yongming said quickly: "Wait! There will be a banquet here soon! Who can eat and drink after seeing those bloody people! And I heard that Lu Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites also booked a banquet here today, so don't disturb him

. It’s better to take him down and do it. If he can’t bear the pain and dies, just pull him out and bury him.”

Bu Qingyun asked: "Sixth Master, generally people who have been severely punished are weak and lifeless, and their Qi pulse will be intermittent. Suddenly it is difficult to tell whether they are dead or not."

Liu Yongming rolled his eyes at Bu Qingyun and said: "What's the difference between bloody things? If you think he can't survive, just take him and bury him! No matter what!"

Bu Qingyun responded, took the leg of the official lying on the ground and dragged him out.

The official looked frightened and kept struggling, but to no avail.

After Bu Qingyun took the person away, Ye Changqing stood up, walked to the door, closed the door, and then returned to his seat.

Liu Yongming smiled at everyone and said: "Okay, I've said all that needs to be said. If you have any questions, you can ask them. After everything is settled, we will start the dinner!"

Ding Xu calmed down and said: "Sixth Master, then... what if... the deficit is not enough..."

Liu Yongming smiled and said: "Selling things, houses, sons and daughters, that's your business too. I have already given you a chance. If you can't pay the account within three days, if I think you are still diligent in doing things,

Maybe I will help him pay it back. If I think that person is greedy... Haha, in short, don't blame me for being cruel."

"Sixth Master, please...please give me a longer time limit."

Liu Yongming looked at Ding Xu and asked with a smile: "How much do you owe? I think you are a good person, so I will help you pay back some."

Ding Xu immediately responded: "The small debt owed by Xiaguan is not something that Liu Ye needs to worry about. Master Liu, you have already thought enough about Xiaguan, so of course Xiaguan can't ask for too much. You are acting with a public heart and for the sake of

The purpose of organizing the Ministry of Internal Affairs is not to deal with anyone specifically, so I thought...it would be better to give it some more time, so...you see..."

Liu Yongming laughed a few times.

Ding Xu also has some small shortcomings, but unlike others, he is because others are greedy. If he is not greedy, he will appear to be incompatible with others.

In this way, his colleagues in the Ministry of Internal Affairs will not regard him as one of their own, and only if he is also greedy will his subordinates listen to him.

For Ding Xu, his greed was a last resort, and the little money could be easily repaid.

What he just said was really not for himself, but for the sake of the people below.

Liu Yongduo smiled and said: "Ask me, the king? If you can ask for it, they will definitely obey you in the future. If you can't ask for it, they will probably blame you, and it will be difficult to coordinate the official affairs of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in the future. I think the king

You are a nice person, and you are related to the Queen Mother, so after thinking about it, I might as well agree to it. Those who caused the undue deficit in the accounts should take out all the remaining wealth in the family within three days, and borrow what they should.

Please, don’t let me know that you owe money to the Ministry of Internal Affairs and you still have money hidden at home.”

Ding Xu said: "Why is it still three days? Mr. Liu, is it... is it too short? Look..."

"I have three days for you to sell the property! If you want to pay back the money, you should do it within a month! If it has not been paid after one month, I don't want to repeat what I said before."

Ding Xu asked: "What if...what if it is some items? They are sold and cannot be brought back."

"It's best if you can find it back. If you can't find it, just discount it to the market price. I run a pawn shop in Chang'an City. I will know the market price of any item when I ask. You can't hide it from me. You have to know it yourself. One month.

Not enough time?”

"Enough! Enough!" Ding Xu responded repeatedly.

"Any question?"

Ding Xu turned his eyes and looked at the doctors on the big table. Those people were silent, so there was no other problem.

At this time Ding Xu responded: "No problem."

Liu Yongming smiled and said: "In that case, let's have a dinner."

Ye Changqing had already sat back beside Liu Yongming from the door.

After hearing Liu Yongming's instructions, he stood up again, left his seat, walked out of the private room, and exchanged a few words with the servants outside.

When Ye Changqing came back and sat down again, the waiters had already delivered the dishes to the table.

The dishes on the big table and the small table are actually the same, and the portions are not bad either. It's just because there are more people sitting on that side and fewer people sitting on this side.

Exquisite food was served, but no one used chopsticks to eat.

That's because Liu Yongming hasn't picked up the chopsticks yet, so they don't dare to eat first.

Liu Yongming looked at everyone and said with a smile: "It seems that I am sitting here a little too much, making you very reserved."

Ding Xu immediately said: "No, no, no, it's because you, Master Six, have a distinguished status. If you don't move, we don't dare to move. This is etiquette."

Liu Yongming smiled and said: "You just need to eat and drink well, and order all the dishes you want! I won't stay here to hinder your fun. There is a beautiful woman waiting for me in the Jiaofang Department!"

Liu Yongming stood up as he spoke. Just as he was about to leave, he remembered something again.

He took out a small lucky bag from his arms and said: "I have just frightened everyone. Where there is punishment, there must be reward. But I didn't bring anything out today. I got two stones the day before yesterday and warmed them on my body."

Two days.”

Liu Yongming took out the two Shoushan Huangtian stones from the small lucky bag and said, "Manager Ding, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will have to rely on you in the future. I will reward you with this small stone."

Ding Xu said, stood up, held it with both hands, and took it respectfully.

Liu Yongming said to Ye Changqing again: "Mr. Ye, I will have to work hard to check the accounts and inventory in a few days, so I will give you this one."

Ye Changqing responded: "Thank you Master Six for the reward."

Ye Changqing had just received the Shoushan Stone on his side, and Liu Yongming hurried away on the other side.
Chapter completed!
