Slacking Off and Gossiping: The Court Officials Are Not Amused

Jiang Yueyang, a 21st-century office worker, died from a cerebral infarction after working overtime and staying up late. In her dying moments, she bound to a 'Gossip System'.

She then...

Chapter 230: Fortune and Honor in Danger

Jiang Yueyang started writing again, and replied, "To enter the Supervisory Department, you need to have two basic conditions: strong case-solving ability and a strong family background. You don't quite meet these two conditions.

The officials of the Supervisory Department are supposed to do the righteous things that others dare not do. If they don’t have a strong family background, how can they suppress the local monsters and demons? "

The system agreed, "An official like Xu Zheng, who is from a poor family and has no power at all, would probably be assassinated on his first day in office."

Xu Zheng: “…”

Xu Zheng lowered his head. Although the truth was unpleasant, Lord Xiao Jiang was right.

If you want to enter the Supervisory Department, it is not enough to have ability, you also have to have something that makes people fear you.

Besides, his abilities are average.

Woo woo woo... I overestimated my own abilities.

Jiang Yueyang continued: "These two conditions are only the most basic. The most important thing is to have an absolutely righteous heart and absolute loyalty to Daxia."

These words suddenly shocked the two people present. Xu Zheng murmured, "Is there... such a person?"

"Yes, but very rarely."

Pei Yan asked: "Does Master Xiao Jiang have a candidate in mind?"

"Yes, but I don't know if they are willing to change jobs." Jiang Yueyang shook his head and said, "It's too early to say this now. The Supervisory Department may not be established."

Pei Yan nodded slightly, then bowed and said, "I will go out to work first."

Jiang Yueyang nodded and continued writing quickly.

Xu Zheng stood there for a while and then asked, "Master Xiao Jiang, is there anything I can help you with?"

Jiang Yueyang paused, then raised her eyelids and looked at him with sparkling eyes, "Can you draw?"

Seeing her expectant look, Xu Zheng scratched his head awkwardly and said, "Your subordinate...Your subordinate cannot draw."

The light in his eyes faded, the smile on his lips fell, and Jiang Yueyang said in a sad voice: "Is that so..."

"Although I can't draw, I have done a good job in the work of the pavilion. Earlier, I saw Master Pei carrying a lot of work in. I may be able to help Master reduce some of the workload."

Hearing this, Jiang Yueyang became happy again.

"Will this be too much trouble for you? You have your own work to do."

Xu Zheng shook his head repeatedly, "No, no, I have completed my work. Besides, as a subordinate, I should share the worries of my superiors."

"Then... I'll trouble you then." Jiang Yueyang pushed the stack of books beside her forward a little, "Take a look at the work here to see if there is anything you can do."

"good."

Xu Zheng immediately walked over and looked through the books. Inside each book was a note stating the work content.

Some work needs to be done by Jiang Yueyang personally, while some can be done by others.

After Xu An finished flipping through the pages, he pulled out seven books and said, "Master Xiao Jiang, I can help you with these, but I can't do the rest for you."

Although there was still a lot left, Jiang Yueyang was already very grateful.

"Master Xu, is there anything you want?"

"Last time...the beef jerky that Lord Xiao Jiang gave me was very delicious." Xu Zheng blushed in embarrassment.

"No problem. I'll have someone send some to you when I get back."

Xu Zheng's face lit up with joy, "Thank you, sir. I will go out to work right away and make sure everything is completed today."

“That’s not necessary…”

Xu Zheng was so happy that he didn't hear Jiang Yueyang's voice. He turned around and walked out with the seven books in his arms.

Jiang Yueyang looked at Xu Zheng who walked out of the office quickly and murmured: [Xiaogua, how long do you think it will take him to complete those tasks? ]

[Hmm...it'll be the afternoon anyway.]

[Is it bad to let others do the work for you while you leave early? ]

[What do you think? ]

Jiang Yueyang groaned in annoyance, "I was thinking of going back after I finish writing the regulations of the Supervisory Department."

The electronic sound of the system carried a hint of gloating, [Host, be more open-minded, there is always gain and loss. ]

Outside, Xu Zhengcai walked to his seat and sat down, and a group of people surrounded him.

There are many people in Wenyuan Pavilion who want to move up, but if they stay in Wenyuan Pavilion, they are destined to stop there.

"How is it? Did Master Xiao Jiang tell me how to get a job in the Supervisory Department?"

Xu Zheng did not hide anything and repeated Jiang Yueyang's words to them.

"Is the request so high?"

"The Supervisory Office is actually similar to the Censorate, but in addition to supervising all officials, the Supervisory Office also has the power to judge and punish all officials, so it seems to have greater power."

"It also means that this job is dangerous and you could lose your life at any time."

"That's why you need strong abilities and background!"

"Lady Xiao Jiang is now a favorite of His Majesty. Following her will definitely bring you a bright future, but it will also be full of dangers."

“Wealth and honor are found in danger.”

The sand in the hourglass flows slowly downwards, like the stream of time, disappearing silently.

In a blink of an eye, it was lunch time, and the palace servants brought warm working meals to the officials of Wenyuan Pavilion.

Jiang Yueyang twisted her sore neck, put down the pen in her hand and leaned back.

"Phew! I'm so tired!"

In just over an hour, she had finished writing all the regulations of the Supervisory Department and copied a book.

The reason why she is so efficient is that she was a Chinese in her previous life. Who hasn't tried to copy a test paper dozens of times?

Copying books is no big deal!

After resting for a while, Jiang Yueyang opened the lunch box, took out the dishes inside, and started to enjoy lunch.

Today's meal tasted just average. After taking two bites, she put down her chopsticks, stood up and walked outside.

The system reminded: [Host, people are working hard for you, it would be bad for you to leave early.]

[Who said I was leaving early? I just wanted to stretch my muscles. My butt hurts after sitting for too long.]

The Wenyuan Pavilion officials who were still eating: "..."

Jiang Yueyang's inner voice continued to come out, "The stools in Wenyuan Pavilion are too hard. I have to bring a cushion next time. Hmm... I also have to bring a better ink stick. The ink here is not smooth enough."

As she was talking, she accidentally saw Xu Zheng eating and working not far away.

She frowned slightly, then walked over.

"Master Xu." She sat down in front of Xu Zheng, "When it's time to work, you should work hard, and when it's time to eat, you should eat well. If you do this, I will feel stressed."

"Master Xiao Jiang..."

"Eat well."

"yes."

Xu Zheng put down the work in his hands and began to concentrate on eating.

Jiang Yueyang smiled with satisfaction, then nodded slightly to his colleagues who were looking over at him.

At this time, the system said with a little surprise: [Host, I found an interesting person. ]
