Chapter 374: The Cunning and Bad Old Man (Part 2)

Mu Nanjin came out of the Mu Mansion and saw the Minister of Personnel standing next to the carriage and greeted her: "Good morning, Mu girl."

She raised her eyebrows in surprise: "Why is the Minister of Personnel here?"

"Let's get in the carriage and talk." The Minister of Personnel lifted the curtain to let her see the furnishings inside: "I have prepared breakfast, let's talk while walking."

Mu Nanjin saw all kinds of exquisite food in the carriage, and the aroma of porridge made her sit in the carriage involuntarily.

But she didn't start eating right away. She looked at the Minister of Personnel and said, "You are being nice to me for no reason."

The Minister of Personnel served her a bowl of porridge and said sincerely, "I really just want to take you to the Ministry of Personnel. I don't have any bad intentions."

Mu Nanjin drank a mouthful of porridge and asked, "Why do you want me to go to the Ministry of Personnel?"

"It's because the emperor ordered you to help the Minister of Justice review the case files, but didn't order other people to come to our Ministry of Personnel to help me work. I feel unbalanced and want you to go to the Ministry of Personnel to annoy the Minister of Justice, this bad old man."

Mu Nanjin thought this reason was ridiculous and didn't quite believe what he said.

The Minister of Personnel knew that she would not believe him, and said, "You don't know how bad the Minister of Justice is. On the first day you went to the Ministry of Justice, he went to the other five ministries to show off that someone helped him with his work. I was so angry that I dragged you to the Ministry of Personnel to stroll around, so as to make the Minister of Justice anxious."

Mu Nanjin: "..."

[Just for this childish reason to bring me to the Ministry of Personnel? ]

"I have already treated you to breakfast, you must do me this favor."

Mu Nanjin thought for a while and said, "How about I spit it out and give it back to you?"

The Minister of Personnel said unhappily, "You spit it out and give it back to me? Isn't it disgusting?"

"If I give it back to you, I won't feel disgusted."

The Minister of Personnel played tricks: "I don't want you to pay it back, I just want your help. You can go to the Ministry of Personnel for an hour and then go back."

[It's not impossible, just to make the Minister of Justice anxious, and see if he dares to be so leisurely in front of me. 】

The Minister of Personnel heard this and took the opportunity to say, "If you don't say anything, I will take it as your consent."

Then he said to the driver, "Old Wu, hurry up."

"Yes, sir."

Old Wu sped up the horse.

Two quarters of an hour later, the carriage was outside the Ministry of Personnel.

The Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel, who was walking back and forth outside the door, saw Mu Nanjin and the Minister of Personnel coming, and hurried into the Ministry of Personnel and said to other officials, "Mu Nanjin, they are here, everyone get ready."

The officials of the Ministry of Personnel quickly sat back in their seats.

When Mu Nanjin entered the courtyard, the right assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel stood at the door of the secretarial office and asked loudly: "Have you investigated the case of Zhao Anmin, the county magistrate of Fu County?"

The official in the room replied: "It seems not."

"If yes, then yes. If no, then no. What do you mean by "it seems not", who did you send to investigate the county magistrate of Fu County? Three months have passed, and no one has investigated Zhao Anmin, the county magistrate of Fu County? If we don't know his official rank and his true ability, it is difficult to decide whether to transfer him."

"Hurry up and find out if there is any document investigating Zhao Anmin, the county magistrate of Fu County. Zhao Anmin, the county magistrate of Fu County, Zhao Anmin, the county magistrate of Fu County, don't make a mistake."

When Mu Nanjin entered the courtyard, he heard the name of Zhao Anmin, the county magistrate of Fu County.

[Is the Ministry of Personnel so unreliable? They don't even know whether they have investigated Zhao Anmin? 】

The official in the clerk's office asked, "Is it Zhao Anmin, the magistrate of Fu County?"

The right assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel said, "Yes, it is Zhao Anmin, the magistrate of Fu County."

"Wait a minute, I'll look for it."

Mu Nanjin listened to them shouting, and his mind was full of Zhao Anmin, the magistrate of Fu County.

【This Zhao Anmin is capable, but too honest. Although he is popular with the people, he does not understand the ways of the world and is not liked by his superiors. It is difficult for him to be promoted unless someone helps him behind the scenes. But he is a poor boy from the countryside, and no senior official is willing to help him. 】

As her voice fell, the official in the clerk's office shouted, "Got it, got it, found it."

"Okay, give me his documents quickly."

"Okay."

The right assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel left with a document.

Then, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel ran out of his own office and asked the office where all the officials worked together: "Where is the document of Nie Shan, the prefect of Chengzhou Prefecture? Have you sent someone to investigate?"

"Who? Tell me again."

"Nie Shan, the prefect of Chengzhou Prefecture, Nie Shan, the prefect of Chengzhou Prefecture, I am so anxious, I can't find his document, did you not give it to me?"

"I did investigate, but I think the things in the document are different from the rumors, so I didn't give it to you."

"Since they are different, why don't you investigate more times?"

"Chengzhou Prefecture is too far away, and it would be a waste of time to send someone there again."

"He is on the list of promotions. How can you promote him if you don't know his situation? You should tell me how he is different from the rumors."

"The document says that he loves the people like his own children, puts the people's affairs first in everything, and says that he is honest and humble..."

[Bullshit. 】

[Nie Shan is a bully who likes to squeeze the people's money, and he will swallow up most of the government's funding. ]

[Such a hateful person is still on the list of promotions. There must be something fishy. The superior who put him on the list of promotions must also have problems. ]

The left assistant minister of the Ministry of Personnel said: "Okay, don't say anything, just give me the documents."

For the next hour, Mu Nanjin listened to the officials asking about the results of the investigation of a certain official in a certain city.

The Minister of Personnel sighed: "There are too many things recently, so everyone is busy. Okay, it's been an hour, I won't keep you, otherwise the Minister of Justice will rush to me with a knife to ask for me."

Mu Nanjin: "..."

[Just let me go like this? ]

[Really asked me to come for a walk? ]

Mu Nanjin was sent to the gate in a daze and sat on the carriage of the Minister of Personnel.

Then, the officials of the Ministry of Personnel came out.

"Lord Mu, I'm sorry for not welcoming you today. Welcome to come again next time."

[Lord Mu, please come more often. ]

[Lord Mu, why don't you stay a few more hours before leaving. ]

[Lord Mu, see you next time. ]

The warm farewell made Mu Nanjin even more confused.

[I didn't talk to them, but they came to see me off so warmly. ]

[Are all the people in the Ministry of Personnel so hospitable? ]

Everyone suppressed their laughter and continued, "Lord Mu, remember to come again."

Mu Nanjin nodded subconsciously, and returned to the Ministry of Justice without understanding the situation.

The Minister of Justice, who had been waiting for her to go on duty, asked anxiously, "Girl Mu, why did you come at this time? Did something happen?"

Mu Nanjin said, "Nothing."

[It's better not to tell him about going to the Ministry of Personnel. ]

[If he knew that I was treated with food and drinks there, he would probably be angry to death. 】

The Minister of Punishment was so angry that his teeth were about to break. He cursed the Minister of Personnel in his heart: a cunning and bad old man

On the second day, the Minister of Revenue also came to the Mu Mansion.

Mu Nanjin, who had just left the house: "..."

My dears, please give me a monthly ticket
