Loyalty in the Time of Tyranny Chapter 127

At the end of October, Zhao Fu fell ill again and missed the morning court.

Li Xiaoren, the director of the Imperial Observatory, and monk Shanting prayed for the emperor in the Funing Palace every day. In the palace, Taoist priests with big noses in Taoist robes and bald monks in monk's robes could be seen everywhere.

This time Zhao Fu's illness was so severe that except for a few first-rank ministers, all other officials did not see him. Not to mention Adrian Tang, even Su Wenyun did not get to see Zhao Fu.

That day, Adrian Tang returned home from the Censorate and saw Lin the Accountant, Mason Yao and Tang Juan checking the account books.

When the three saw Adrian Tang, they immediately handed him the account book for him to read. Adrian Tang flipped through it casually and was surprised to find that the profit for this quarter was nearly 20% more than usual. He called Tang Juan to the study and asked him carefully, only to find out that the extra 20% profit was not because of the increase in total income, but because of the reduction in costs.
