373. Chapter 373 Old Problem



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

Before the Minister of Personnel could say anything, the Minister of Rites said, "I can't just let it go like this. The reception of the envoy still depends on Mu Nanjin."

Other ministers also said that they should not give up just because of a small setback.

The Minister of Personnel suggested: "Let's go to the Ministry of Justice to take a look at the situation before making a decision. What do you think?"

"good."

The other four ministers all nodded in agreement.

Two cups of tea later, 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 ourselves."

"yes."

When the five ministers walked into the Ministry of Justice, they immediately felt that the atmosphere there was different from before.

The former officials from the Ministry of Justice ran past them in a hurry as if they had the wind.

Even when he saw several ministers arriving, he hurriedly bowed and left.

Today's officials of the Ministry of Justice are very leisurely, some of them stand in front of flowers and count petals, while others sit in the pavilion drinking tea and chatting, as if this is a leisure teahouse rather than 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 gap in the window.

Mu Nanjin sat in the seat of the Minister of Justice and wrote furiously, his inner thoughts pouring out continuously, trying to do two things at the same time to the extreme.

[Are all the officials in the Ministry of Justice so idle that they even have time to drink tea and chat? ]

[Seeing them laughing so happily in harmony really makes me, a busy person, feel unhappy. ]

[I really want to rush to the Left and Right Ministers and tell them...]

“Ahem…”

The Minister of Justice suddenly coughed twice, interrupting Mu Nanjin's thoughts.

Mu Nanjin glanced at the Minister of Justice and confirmed that he was fine, then continued to think about [the left assistant minister and the right…]

“Cough cough cough…”

The Minister of Justice coughed a few times, interrupting Mu Nanjin's thoughts.

Mu Nanjin looked up at him.

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

Mu Nanjin continued to work.

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

“Cough cough cough cough…”

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

The Minister of Justice put down his teacup and waved his hand: "It's an old problem, it's nothing serious."

[Aren’t your chronic problems moles, excessive farts, and constipation? ]

[When did a cough appear? ]

Minister of Justice: “…”

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

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

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

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

The Minister of Justice stood up to greet them: "My study is full of case files, and I really can't make room to entertain you gentlemen. I can only ask you to sit in the corridor outside."

"We just came to take a look. You don't need to entertain us. You sit down, you sit down."

Minister of Justice: “…”

I always feel that the person who comes has bad intentions.

The Minister of Personnel walked over and held the Minister of Justice's shoulders to prevent him from getting up.

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

The Minister of Justice replied, "Yes."

The Minister of Rites smiled amiably: "Girl Mu, we are all family. You don't have to be so polite to us. Just sit back and do your thing. Don't worry about us. We will just take a look around."

The Minister of Industry pointed at the box and said, "You are not going to read all the files in the box, are you?"

The Minister of Justice inexplicably felt that answering this question would only bring trouble to himself, so he simply kept silent.

The Minister of War said to Mu Nanjin, "You've worked hard, girl. It's really tiring to be in the Ministry of Justice. There are endless case files to read every day. It's better to be in the Ministry of War. You don't have to read too many case files that give you a headache, and you don't have to use too much brainpower. On weekdays, we are only responsible for selecting military officers or visiting places like the Weapon Bureau. Only when there is a war, our Ministry of War will be busy."

The Minister of Revenue snorted: "You talk as if the Ministry of War doesn't have to work. I wonder who is always so tired."

The Minister of War frowned and said, "Minister of Revenue, please be careful with your words."

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

The Minister of Rites said with a smile: "Speaking of ease, our Ministry of Rites is still easy. Mu Yatou has experienced it herself. Every day, I accompany the envoys to play around, or accompany the envoys to eat and drink. Do you think this is easy?"

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 now."

The other five ministers: "..."

The Minister of Industry sneered, "Easy? Which of the six ministries is easy? If you make a mistake, you will lose your head."

The Minister of Rites didn't dare to say anything else.

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

The Minister of Personnel smiled and said, "We came here to see you because we heard you say that Mu Yatou was helping you review the case files. By the way, Mu Yatou has never been to our Ministry of Personnel, has she? You are welcome to visit us anytime."

The Minister of Industry smiled and said, "We in the Ministry of Industry welcome you, too."

The Minister of War also rushed to say: "We in the Ministry of War also welcome you, it's best to go and have a look tomorrow."

The Minister of Justice 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: "It's her freedom to go wherever Mu girl wants. Do you want to keep Mu girl locked up?"

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

Minister of Justice: “…”

He regretted it.

He regretted showing off to other ministers.

Now they are all coming to snatch people from him.

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

【Let me see what they want to do. 】

The five ministers became nervous.

[Eh, why didn't you 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 other things to do so we won't bother you."

The Minister of Justice said unhappily, "No."

After the Minister of Personnel and his men walked away, the Minister of Justice said to Mu Nanjin, "They are just a bunch of bad old men. Don't bother with them."

Mu Nanjin didn't answer him, but thought to himself, "Isn't it bad for you, an old man, to leave all the work to me? Humph."

The Minister of Justice was ashamed.

He said that he would ignore the Minister of Personnel and others, but that doesn't mean that others won't come after him.

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

Please give me a monthly ticket. Please give me a monthly ticket.
