Chapter 688 A Step-by-Step Thrill 60

Insolence! How dare these ignorant lackeys be so audacious... Yinzhen slammed his fist on the table in anger, his eyes blazing with fury, veins bulging on his forehead.

As someone who loves business and has an exceptional sensitivity to numbers, his anger burned even more fiercely after he carefully reviewed all the documents at hand.

Especially when he saw the data provided by Lin Jiu, which was almost entirely composed of numbers, Yin Tang directly realized just how greedy these bondservants were.

What he found even more intolerable was that the documents revealed that the Imperial Household Department not only embezzled tribute but also replaced the good items with inferior ones, keeping the good ones for themselves while giving the inferior ones to the imperial family.

At this thought, a ridiculous scene would involuntarily appear in Yinzhen's mind: his father holding a worn-out bowl, his face beaming with satisfaction and joy.

In contrast, the bondservant servants of the Imperial Household Department held large bowls inlaid with gold and jade, their faces filled with disdain and contempt...

He dared not think about it, and could not think about it. Yin Tang shook his head vigorously, trying to dispel the jumbled thoughts in his mind.

However, although his emotions had calmed down a bit, his resentment towards these bondservants and the Imperial Household Department remained undiminished. He absolutely could not forgive them easily and had to punish them severely to quell his hatred. Even executing their entire families would not be excessive.

After all, what servant would dare to bully their master? What's happening right now is a living example!

The bondservants from the Imperial Household Department were originally meant to serve them, but now they're living better than their masters!

"Ha," Yinzhen sneered.

One of the "masters" in the story of the slave who bullied his master, Yin Tang, had eyes as dark and gloomy as the clouds before a storm, as if they were about to pour down at any moment.

At this moment, he rubbed his fingers together, sharpening his knife as he prepared to attack the bondservant!

Seeing this, Lin Jiu remained unusually calm and composed. It seemed that he had anticipated everything that was happening, or even that he was completely confident.

After all, she knew all too well the distinct and ruthless nature of the Aisin Gioro family members: they loved them so much they wished for their lives, and hated them so much they wished for their deaths.

Therefore, these wrappers were destined to meet their doom...

Sure enough, in the days that followed, although Lin Jiu did not pay much attention to this matter, he still heard news about the major reshuffle of the bondservants.

It turns out that the incident had become so big that dramatic raids were taking place every day.

However, it is worth noting that the target here is not the families of high-ranking officials, but rather the servants who serve them.

Especially within the royal family, almost every day, chests piled high with gold, silver, and rare antiques and jade artifacts could be found in the servants' quarters...

Ordinary people who witnessed these farces couldn't help but drool with envy, their eyes wide open and their faces filled with jealousy and hatred.

There are so many rich people in the world, why can't there be one more?

As the saying goes, some are happy while others are sad. When large numbers of lackeys were punished for their crimes and their property was confiscated, those originally empty warehouses instantly became full.

At this moment, the members of the imperial clan felt both angry and overjoyed;

At the same time, a suffocating and oppressive atmosphere permeated the entire palace.

Whether they were palace maids or eunuchs, everyone was trembling with fear, walking on thin ice, afraid that they might become the next target of severe punishment if they were not careful.

The clan of Consort De, of the Uya clan, was the hardest hit this time, and Consort De must have been the most distressed among all the concubines.
