I Am A Corrupt Official, Yet They Say I Am A Loyal Minister!

our Majesty’s question, there is absolutely no such thing! Sir Yao’s words are completely groundless!”

Yao Zheng angrily pointed at Lin Beifan and said, “Lin Beifan, do you dare deny it?”

Lin Beifan remained composed and said, “I have not done anything wrong.
How can I admit to something that I haven’t done?”

Yao Zheng grew even more furious and said, “You dare to quibble?”

Lin Beifan countered, “Mr.
Yao, you keep accusing me of embezzling money from students.
Let me ask you, whose money did I embezzle?”

Yao Zheng shouted, “The son of the Minister of Personnel, Gao Tianyu, and the son of the Deputy Minister of Personnel, Bai Yulang…”

He listed their names one by one, speaking with conviction.
Lin Beifan then asked, “How much did I embezzle?”

“I don’t know the exact amount, but it definitely exceeds two million taels!” Yao Zheng shouted loudly.

Lin Beifan chuckled and said, “Sir Yao, you accused me of embezzling money from these students, and the amount reached 2 million! The question is, 2 million is not a small amount, where did their money come from?”

“Their money is, of course, from…”

Yao choked and his face turned paler, sweat dripping down.

Looking up, he saw all the high-ranking officials staring at him with very unfriendly and warning eyes.

Looking up again, he saw the empress looking at him with a playful gaze.

This was a hot potato!

A hot potato that no one could touch!

Once it was revealed, either everyone would be doomed or they would just have to drink three cups and let the matter pass!

But no matter what the outcome, the person who personally revealed this hot potato would definitely end up dead!

“Sir Yao, please speak up, where did their money come from? They are all good students who don’t produce anything and are busy studying every day.
Where did they get so much money from?”

Yao’s face turned even paler.

“And their fathers are all here, all honest and upright officials, with not much money in their hands.
How much money could their children possibly have?”

Yao’s face turned even paler.

“I believe that all the gentlemen here today will lead by example and educate their own children well! They will definitely not let their children do anything wrong, so they cannot possibly have any money on them! Since they have no money, how could I have embezzled anything?”

Lin Beifan spread his hands and said, “Gentlemen, am I right?”

At this point, even if they didn’t want to, everyone had to speak up for Lin Beifan.

“What Director Lin said is true! How could my son have money?”

“Usually, I lead by example and educate my descendants carefully, never neglecting even a bit!”

“I know my son well, he is not that kind of person and would never do anything wrong!”

“So…” Lin Beifan took advantage of the situation, pointed at Yao Zheng, and said loudly, “Lord Yao is just talking nonsense, trying to confuse right and wrong!”

Yao Zheng was already paralyzed on the ground.
