The scheming empress starts by conquering men

Her tone was full of blame and questioning.

Shao Chaogan's face suddenly turned dark, and she slammed the table with her hand.

"Xin Yinzhen, you are so bold, you dare to pretend to obey but actually disobey!"

"You wrote to me in secret that this matter was of great importance and no one was willing to work on it, right?"

While Shao Chaogan was talking, he took out the secret letter from his arms and slapped it on the table.

"Look, this is the secret letter you wrote to me!"

Fortunately, she had previously believed that Xin Yinzhen was an honest and upright official.

On the way here, she told His Highness more than once that Xin Yinzhen was an honest person and would never collude with His Highness to be corrupt or protect the officials.

In the end, she was hit hard in the face again, and this time the swelling was quite severe.

She wanted to see how Xin Yinzhen would argue!

Xin Yinzhen was so frightened that she suddenly stood up and knelt on the ground, her mind full of the lawsuit.

"My Lord, please spare me, Your Highness, please spare me!"

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault. I was blinded by money. Everything is my fault! It has nothing to do with others. It's all my fault..."

Shao Chaogan was stunned for a moment and thought, something is wrong. Could this guy have some difficulties? Why would he confess so quickly?

She didn't even make an excuse. This is totally unlike her personality as rumored. At least, she would have made some excuses for herself, right?

Is there another hidden story?

Shu Feng was slightly stunned, then he thought of something and looked at Shi Haiying next to him, his eyes became a little gloomy.

If she hadn't worked with Xin Yinzhen for a long time, she would have been almost deceived by her acting skills. She believed she had her own difficulties.

She probably wanted Shi Haiying to be a scapegoat again.

Shi Haiying lowered his head timidly and said nothing.

She understood. She understood that Xin Yinzhen probably wanted her to take the blame.

God knows how hard it was for her to get this official position?

She had finally become an official, but she didn't expect that after such a short time, she would have to take the blame and resign?

I can't see her, I can't see her. It's not her fault, it's not her fault.

Shi Haiying kept begging God to let her go just once!

If the adults asked her to take the blame, she really couldn't refuse.

Her entire family is still in the hands of the Xin family. She will definitely not be able to escape from Xin Yinzhen's clutches, but she doesn't want to take the blame!

Although she had carried it more than once or twice, this time the matter was a bit serious and she couldn't carry it.

Shaodian Sishui didn't care about what they said and spoke in a cold and calm voice.

"You are the governor of a state. The mistakes you made naturally have nothing to do with others. It is naturally your fault."

Xin Yinzhen's false confession was suddenly interrupted and she swallowed it back.

Originally, according to what she said, most people would ask her if she had any difficulties.

Or maybe there was someone behind her forcing her to do this.

Otherwise, why didn't she quibble and admit it so quickly?

At that time, she could say that she was threatened by Shi Haiying and describe Shi Haiying as an unforgivable person.

At that time, she would plead for leniency and ask His Highness to punish Shi Haiying lightly.

But what she never expected was that the Sixth Prince actually forced her to plead guilty on the spot.

Does she still have a chance to fight back and bite back those who slandered her? Of course not.

Xin Yinzhen closed her eyes, gritted her back teeth, wailed shamelessly, then knelt on the ground and kowtowed hard.

"Your Highness, please spare my life! It's all my fault. I was wrong. Please give me a chance to make a new start. Please give me a chance, Your Highness!"

Shu Feng: “…” Is this still the prefect who cares most about his face?

Shi Haiying: “…” Ah, Your Excellency is admitting your guilt just like that?

Shao Chaogan: "…Shameless! You bastard!"

She kicked Xin Yinzhen on the shoulder and knocked her to the ground.

After Xin Yinzhen stood up, she quickly knelt and crawled towards Shaodian Sishui, grabbing her skirt and shoes and begging for mercy.

"Your Highness, please spare me. I really didn't mean it. Please forgive me this time...ah..."

He looked aggrieved, with tears and snot running down his face.

There was no trace of his previous upright appearance. He now acted like a cowardly villain, even worse than the treacherous ministers.

Shaodian Sishui almost couldn't hold back her laughter and laughed out loud, looking at Shao Chaogan with interest.

The two looked at each other, and Shaodian Sishui asked, "Is this what you call upright and incorruptible?"

In her opinion, even treacherous ministers are a hundred times better than her.

The treacherous flatterers still have brains and can flatter. Look at her, she is a complete fool who only cares about making money without considering the consequences.

Shao Chao turned his head awkwardly and sighed heavily; "Alas!"

She really didn't expect that people could disguise themselves like this, even she was fooled.

Shaodian Sishui withdrew his gaze and looked at Xin Yinzhen who was holding her feet and begging for mercy.

"I hate those who pretend to obey but actually disobey, and you..."

Her eyes were like ice and her voice was cold and stern.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, please forgive me this time. I am obsessed with money and I am blinded by greed!"

She was interrupted before she could finish her words, and saw Xin Yinzhen holding her ankles and begging for mercy.

Shaodian Si Shui became interested, playing with the teacup in her hand, staring at her with charming eyes and a smile on her lips.

"It's not impossible to spare your life, but I have something to ask for your help."

Is there still room for maneuver and hope?

Xin Yinzhen's panic was relieved a lot at once.

Just like a drowning person grabbing a straw to float, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, he will hold on to it desperately.

"Your Highness, you said that I will do my best until my death. No matter what it is, I will do it for you."

As long as she doesn't die and as long as she doesn't lose her official position, she will do anything!

"It's not a big deal. I just dug out some gold from my salt mine, and those unruly people ignored the contract and secretly hid my gold."

As she spoke, she took out the contract from her arms and showed it to Xin Yinzhen.

"According to the provisions of the contract, regardless of the working hours, all the items dug out from the mine belong to you. If I secretly take anything from the mine, not only will you be unilaterally in breach of contract, but I will also have to pay you a fine of ten fine coins."

"So, I am now going to sue those people for breaching the contract and hoarding the gold."

"According to the regulations, I have to terminate the contract with them and ask them to hand over my gold. They also need to pay me a fine of ten fine coins."

When Xin Yinzhen took out the signed certificate, his head exploded.

How is it possible to dig gold out of a salt mine?

Does this statement treat her as a fool?

However, Xin Yinzhen did not dare to argue and took the contract with both hands with a smile.

When she saw the names and fingerprints signed on the contract, her smile was uglier than crying.

Not only did she know all the people who signed their names on it, but also people from her family branch!

What should we do?

Oh my God! She finally had a chance to survive, but she turned the knife against her own people.

How could she have any reputation in the future? I guess those unruly people would definitely turn against her!

But if she doesn't point the butcher knife at them, she will become the one under the butcher knife.

When those troublemakers talk about this in the future...she will have no future at all!

When you die, who will remember who you are?

In order to save her own life, Xin Yinzhen gritted her teeth.

"Don't worry, Your Highness. If these unruly people dare to violate the contract, I...I will definitely take care of it for Your Highness."

"Very good, you are a good officer."

Shaodian Sishui explained with a smile between his eyebrows, and suddenly remembered something and looked at Shufeng.

"Oh yeah, what was that little thief's name?"

Shu Feng was slightly stunned; "Your Highness, call me Xiao Man."

"The mine is short of inspectors. Go ask him if he's willing to work as a clerk in the mine. It'll cost him five buckskin coins a month. If he wants to mine, he'll get more money."

what?

Everyone was shocked!

Let men be clerks? Even in the mines, there has never been a saying that men can be clerks.
