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



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

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

Mu Nanjin saw all kinds of delicious 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, "It's nothing but courtesy."

The Minister of Personnel poured her a bowl of porridge and said sincerely, "I really just want to take you to the Ministry of Personnel for a look. I have no other bad intentions."

Mu Nanjin took a sip 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 did not order anyone else from the Ministry of Personnel to help me with my 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, so he 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 he had someone to help him with his work. I was so angry that I dragged you to the Ministry of Personnel to make the Minister of Justice anxious."

Mu Nanjin: “…”

[Are you really bringing me to the Ministry of Personnel for this childish reason?]

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

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

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

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

The Minister of Personnel said: "I don't want you to pay me back, I just want your help. Just go to the Ministry of Personnel for an hour and you can go back."

[It's not impossible. It's a good opportunity to make the Minister of Justice anxious. Let's see if he dares to be so leisurely in front of me.]

Upon hearing this, the Minister of Personnel 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 quickened his horse's pace.

A quarter of an hour later, the carriage stopped outside the civil service department.

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 quickly ran into the Ministry of Personnel and said to the other officials: "Mu Nanjin, they are here, everyone hurry up and get ready."

The officials of the Ministry of Personnel quickly returned to their seats.

When Mu Nanjin entered the courtyard, the Right Assistant Minister of the Ministry of Personnel stood at the door of the clerk's office and asked loudly, "Has the case of Zhao Anmin, the county magistrate of Fu County, been investigated?"

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

"If there is, there is. If there isn't, there isn't. What do you mean by 'seemingly not'? Who did you send to investigate the magistrate of Fu County? Three months have passed, and no one has investigated the magistrate of Fu County, Zhao Anmin? If we don't know his official rank or his ability, it will be difficult to decide whether to transfer him."

"Hurry up and look for the document about the investigation of Fu County Magistrate Zhao Anmin. Fu County Magistrate Zhao Anmin, Fu County Magistrate Zhao Anmin, don't make a mistake."

As Mu Nanjin walked into the courtyard, he heard the name of Zhao Anmin, the magistrate of Fu County.

[Is the Ministry of Personnel so unreliable? Have they investigated Zhao Anmin and didn't even know about him? ]

The official in the clerk's office asked, "Is this 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 all he could think about was Zhao Anmin, the magistrate of Fu County.

[This Zhao Anmin is capable, but too honest. Although he is popular among 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. However, as a poor boy from the countryside, no senior official is willing to help him.]

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

"Well, give me his papers."

"good."

Then, the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel ran out from his secretarial office and asked the officials, "Where is the file of Nie Shan, the prefect of Chengzhou Prefecture? Has anyone been sent to investigate?"

"Who? Say it again."

"Nie Shan, the prefect of Chengzhou Prefecture, Nie Shan, the prefect of Chengzhou Prefecture, I'm so worried. I can't find his documents. Did you not give them to me?"

"I did investigate, but I felt that what was said in the document was different from what was rumored, so I did not give it to you."

"Since it's different, why don't you go investigate a few more times?"

"Chengzhou Prefecture is too far away. It would be a waste of money to send someone to investigate."

"He is on the promotion list. How can we promote him if we don't know his situation? You should tell us how he is different from what is rumored."

"The document says that he loves the people like his own children, and always puts the people's interests first. It also says that he is honest and humble..."

【fart.】

[Nie Shan is a bully who likes to squeeze the people's money. He would swallow up most of the government's funding.]

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

The Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Personnel said, "Okay, stop talking, just give me the document."

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

The Minister of Personnel sighed, "There have been too many things going on lately, so everyone is so busy. Well, it's been an hour, I won't keep you any longer, otherwise the Minister of Justice will rush over with a knife and ask for my life."

Mu Nanjin: “…”

[Just let me go like this? ]

[Are you really looking for me to go shopping? ]

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

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

"Master Mu, I'm sorry for not welcoming you well today. You are welcome to come and play again next time."

【Master Mu, you should come here more often. 】

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

【Lord Mu, see you next time.】

The enthusiastic farewell made Mu Nanjin even more confused.

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

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

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

Mu Nanjin nodded subconsciously, and still didn't understand the situation when he returned to the Ministry of Justice.

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

Mu Nanjin said: "It's okay."

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

[If he knew I was eating and drinking there, he would probably be pissed 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 evil old man. On the second day, the Minister of Revenue also came to the Mu Mansion.

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

Darlings, please give me a monthly ticket
