Golden Vase Pavilion.

Within the private room of the tavern, Jian Yinsan and Yan Linghu sat facing each other.

Compared to the previous few times of generous hospitality, there were neither fine wines nor beauties this time, and the air was somewhat oppressive.

Jian Yinsan’s cheeks were gaunt, his expression despondent, looking as if he had lost his soul.

During this period, he had been cooperating with investigations at the Judicial Inspector Office.

Although no substantial evidence of embezzlement was found against him, through the confessions of subordinates and scrutiny of official documents, he was ultimately charged with dereliction of duty and corroding government politics.

His salary was suspended for half a year, his rank was demoted from a Secondary Fifth-Rank to a Sixth-Rank, and he was reassigned to the Experience Department to oversee logistics, while the tasks related to the Government were handed over to Li Kui.

From then on, there was no place for him within the Fire Department!

Completely ousted!

"Vice Thousand Households Jian, oh, that’s not right, it should be Jian Doushi now."

Yan Linghu shook his head and sneered, "Initially, you personally promised me that it would take no more than two months to bring down Chen Mo, but what’s the result? Not only did you fail to accomplish the task, but you’ve dragged yourself down instead."

Jian Yinsan’s face flushed with embarrassment, and he said in a low voice, "Indeed, there was a hiccup, I never expected the Six Gates to assist Chen Mo with the case, forcing his case closure rate to soar..."

"Enough, I didn’t call you here to listen to your explanations."

Yan Linghu waved his hand impatiently, "I won’t make life difficult for you either. Just return the silver you took from me in full, and I will pretend nothing ever happened."

So he was here to collect a debt?

Jian Yinsan looked slightly constrained.

Indeed, he had embezzled quite a bit over the years, but to hit the Divine Sea Realm, he nearly invested it all into Spiritual Marrow and Alchemy Pills.

Last time Chen Mo even "extorted" three thousand taels from him, and with the bribes he spread around recently, his savings were drained; now he couldn’t even produce a hundred taels...

"What, Lord Jian still wants to default on the debt?"

Yan Linghu’s eyes narrowed slightly, a dangerous glint flickering within.

Jian Yinsan swallowed, finding it hard to speak, "Young Master Yan is mistaken, I have no such intention, it’s just that things have been quite tight recently... cough cough, although I fumbled this time, please rest assured, young master, there will be long days ahead, I definitely won’t let Chen Mo off the hook!"

The Experience Department, mainly responsible for the archiving of official documents, records of affairs, and transmission of intelligence.

There was plenty of room to trip up Chen Mo!

Yan Linghu glanced at him disdainfully.

Such a fool, even now he fails to see the situation clearly.

Chen Mo had taken down the Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, and Lv Bojun had not made any move till now, which was enough to illustrate the problem!

Even a second-grade official had to compromise, yet a mere Sixth-Rank official still harbored delusions of thwarting Chen Mo?

"What you want to do is none of my concern, I just want to retrieve my silver," Yan Linghu said indifferently.

Jian Yinsan did not expect his attitude to change so quickly, and with a troubled expression, he said, "But I really can’t right now..."

"If you have no silver, you can compensate with other things."
