Chapter 373 Old Problem

The five ministers left the palace dejectedly.

Before getting on the car, the Minister of Revenue asked the Minister of Personnel with an unwilling look on his face: "Are we just going to let it go?"

Before the Minister of Personnel said anything, the Minister of Rites said: "I can't just let it go. The reception of historians still depends on Mu Nanjin."

Other ministers also said that they couldn't give up because of a small setback.

The Minister of Personnel suggested: "Let's go to the Ministry of Justice to see the situation and make a decision. What do you think?"

"Okay."

The other four ministers nodded in agreement.

After two cups of tea, five carriages stopped at the gate of the Ministry of Justice.

The Minister of Personnel got off the car and immediately said to the guards at the gate: "No need to inform, we will go in and find the Minister of Justice."

"Yes."

The five ministers walked into the Ministry of Justice and immediately felt that the atmosphere of the Ministry of Justice was different from before.

The officials of the Ministry of Justice used to run past them in a hurry as if they had wind under their feet.

Even when they saw several ministers coming, they hurriedly bowed and left.

The officials of the Ministry of Justice are very leisurely nowadays. Some of them stand in front of the flowers and count the petals, while others sit in the pavilion and drink tea and chat, as if this is a leisure teahouse, not the Ministry of Justice.

The five ministers looked at each other, then quietly came to the window of the study of the Minister of Justice and secretly looked through the window gap.

Mu Nanjin sat in the seat of the Minister of Justice and wrote furiously, and his thoughts kept coming out, doing two things at the same time to the extreme.

[Are the officials of the Ministry of Justice so leisurely that they have time to drink tea and chat? ]

[Seeing them laughing so happily in harmony, I, a busy man, really feel unhappy. ]

[I really want to rush to the left and right assistant ministers and tell them...]

"Ahem..."

The Minister of Justice suddenly coughed twice to interrupt Mu Nanjin's thoughts.

Mu Nanjin glanced at the Minister of Justice, and after confirming that he was fine, he continued to think about [Left Assistant Minister and Right Assistant Minister...]

"Cough cough cough..."

The Minister of Justice coughed a few more times to interrupt Mu Nanjin's thoughts.

Mu Nanjin looked up at him.

The Minister of Justice took the teacup and drank a sip of tea very leisurely.

Mu Nanjin continued to work.

[Right Assistant Minister and Left Assistant Minister...]

"Cough cough cough cough..."

Mu Nanjin frowned: "If you feel unwell, go see a doctor."

The Minister of Justice put down the teacup and waved his hand: "It's an old problem, it's okay."

[Aren't your old problems moles, farts and constipation? ]

[When did you have a cough? ]

The Minister of Justice: "..."

Suddenly, there was a "puff." and laughter came from outside.

The Minister of Justice and Mu Nanjin turned their heads to look outside the door, only to see the other five ministers walking in.

The Minister of Justice looked surprised: "Five gentlemen, why are you here?"

The Minister of Personnel smiled and said: "We just happened to be free, so we agreed to come and see you."

The Minister of Justice stood up to greet them: "My study is full of case files, and there is really no room to entertain you. I can only ask you to sit in the corridor outside."

"We just came to see you, you don't need to entertain us, you sit, you sit."

The Minister of Justice: "..."

I always feel that the person who came is not friendly.

Before leaving, the Minister of Personnel held the Minister of Justice's shoulder to prevent him from getting up.

The Minister of Revenue touched the box beside him and said, "Are they all filled with case files?"

The Minister of Punishment replied, "Yes."

After reviewing the case files in his hand, Mu Nanjin put down his pen and saluted to the adults, "Hello, adults."

The Minister of Rites smiled kindly, "Mu girl, we are all family. You don't have to be so polite to us. Go back and do your work. Don't worry about us. We will take a look at it casually."

The Minister of Works pointed to the box and said, "Mu girl, you won't have to read all the case files in the box, right?"

The Minister of Punishment felt that if he answered this question, he would be asking for trouble, so he simply kept silent.

The Minister of War said to Mu Nanjin: "You have worked hard, girl. It is really tiring to work in the Ministry of Justice. There are endless files to read every day. It is better to work in our Ministry of War. You don't have to read files that are so many words that it gives you a headache, nor do you have to spend too much brainpower. We are usually only responsible for selecting some military officers and going to places like the Weapon Bureau. Only when there is a war, our Ministry of War will be busy."

The Minister of Revenue snorted: "It's as if the Ministry of War doesn't have to work. I don't know who is often exhausted like a dog."

The Minister of War sank: "Minister of Revenue, please be careful with your words."

The Minister of Revenue didn't take him seriously and turned to look at the other side.

The Minister of Rites smiled and said: "Speaking of relaxation, it is still our Ministry of Rites that is relaxed. Girl Mu once had the experience of accompanying envoys to play around every day, or accompanying envoys to eat and drink. Do you think this is very relaxing?"

Mu Nanjin thought of the past and nodded.

[It is indeed easier than reading case files. As for eating, drinking and having fun...]

The Minister of Rites said happily: "Look, Mu Yatou thinks our Ministry of Rites is relaxed."

The other five ministers: "..."

The Minister of Works sneered: "Relaxed? Which of the six ministries is relaxed? If you make a mistake, you will lose your head."

The Minister of Rites did not dare to speak again.

The Minister of Punishments stood up and said: "My lords, you are not here just to see whose official duties are easier, right?"

The Minister of Personnel smiled: "We heard you say that Mu Yatou is helping you review the case files, so we came to see. Speaking of which, Mu Yatou has not been to our Ministry of Personnel, right? You are welcome to come to our Ministry of Personnel anytime."

The Minister of Works smiled and said: "Our Ministry of Works also welcomes you."

The Minister of War also rushed to say: "Our Ministry of War also welcomes you, it's best to go and take a look tomorrow."

The Minister of Punishments finally understood.

These old guys are trying to snatch people from him.

He said unhappily: "Mu girl has to deal with the case files and won't go anywhere."

The Minister of Revenue snorted: "Mu girl is free to go wherever she wants. Do you want to lock Mu girl up in the Ministry of Justice?"

The Minister of War echoed: "The Minister of Revenue is right."

The Minister of Justice: "..."

He regretted it.

He regretted showing off to other ministers.

Now they are all running to snatch people from him.

[These ministers have always avoided me but suddenly they are so enthusiastic about me. There is something wrong, definitely something wrong. ]

[Let me see what they want to do. ]

The five ministers were nervous.

[Hey, why didn't they mention the reason why they came to the Ministry of Justice? ]

[Am I overthinking? ]

The five ministers breathed a sigh of relief.

The Minister of Personnel said again: "We have things to do, so we won't bother you."

The Minister of Punishment said unhappily: "No."

When the Minister of Personnel and his companions walked away, the Minister of Punishment said to Mu Nanjin: "They are just a bunch of bad old men, don't pay attention to them."

Mu Nanjin didn't answer him, but thought in his heart [You old man, you leave all the work to me, isn't it bad? Humph. ]

The Minister of Punishment was ashamed.

He said he would not pay attention to the Minister of Personnel and his companions, but it didn't mean that others would not come to him.

The next morning, the carriage of the Minister of Personnel stopped at the gate of the Mu Mansion.
