After The Disabled God Of War Became My Concubine [BL]

(Chapter 17)

Jiang Suizhou naturally did not know how Huo Wujiu received that secret letter scolding him. He happily basked in a round of idleness in the Ministry of Rites, then returned to his house and went to his study.

Due to that day's conversation, Ji You's attitude towards him became much better. Today, Ji You also lent him two books, saying that they were for him to read.

Of course, it was two books of unofficial history.

Jiang Suizhou was not very fond of unofficial history because of his personal experience, so after thanking Ji You's kindness, he collected the two books and put them on his desk like nothing.

Who would want to read them? He didn't want to take the risk of somehow transmigrating again.

What was more, he had other things to do --

For example, the secret letter that the two ministers sent him.

He was extremely cautious and put the letter away when he received it early in the morning. It was only now when no one was around that he unfolded and read it.

--Similar to his conjecture, the letter did not provide much useful information.

These two courtiers were not high officials, but happened to be in the Ministry of Works. Therefore, when the Ministry of Works took over this project, they figured out the budget amount and the person in charge with some inquiries. They also did some calculations for Jiang Suizhou, and figured out how much spoiles Pang Shao could get here.

The amount was really hefty.

The two courtiers must have felt anxious because of this, and asked him in the letter if they should plant some of their own people in the project.

Jiang Suizhou fell into deep thought.

According to his current understanding of the original owner, he would definitely do something. Even if there would be no return or even loss, he must try it.

But Jiang Suizhou knew that it was all useless.

Pang Shao would never let any official he was not comfortable with handle the money. Thus, even if they slipped their own officials in, they could never touch the money allocated by the court. In this case, all their spies could do was to collect evidence of corruption and report it to the court...

But, how was the relationship between Pang Shao and the Emperor, and how was his relationship with the Emperor?

This was obviously courting destruction.

Moreover, the officials who have been inserted would be pushed to the cusp of the storm, making it easy for Pang Shao to persecute them.

Before transmigrating, he had read history books and found that a lot of Southern Jing officials suffered accidental deaths in certain projects, and those accidents were left unsettled.

Jiang Suizhou did not dare to risk lives.

He pondered for a moment, and read the letter carefully. He wrote down some numbers and names, and then put the letter into a secret compartment on the side of the table.

There were already a lot of letters in there.

All of them were saved by the original owner. Jiang Suizhou took a lot of effort to find this secret compartment.

He also roughly determined the original owner's sphere of influence based on the letters in it.

Most of the information collected in the letters stored there were fragmentary and of little reference value. But according to the positions of the officials who wrote the letters, it was clear that these people had little real power in their hands, and these fragmentary and pitiful pieces of information were the results of their best efforts.
