Chapter 102: Too much of a dog! Shameless!
Lord Jiang was sweating with anxiety and quickly bowed, explaining, "I absolutely did not mean that. It's just that your father and I are colleagues, and I subconsciously treated you as a junior and didn't think too much about it."
Yun Zheng frowned. "You mean I think too much, my thoughts are complicated? Are you implying something?"
This is what Lord Jiang meant, but you must not admit it.
"Absolutely not."
Yun Zheng pouted, "You're so simple-minded, and all you care about is bullying your colleagues. How can you be a good official?"
Lord Jiang had only heard of her name and scoffed at her arrogance. It was only then that he realized how difficult Yun Zheng was. "Whether I am a good official or not is not up to you to decide."
Yun Zheng nodded seriously, "Yes, that's right."
Just as Lord Jiang breathed a sigh of relief, Yun Zheng said, "So, I'm going to have someone investigate you. It's best if you haven't done anything immoral. Otherwise, expect to be impeached and removed from office."
Who can withstand scrutiny? Lord Jiang was furious. "Women are not allowed to meddle in politics. Even if you are a princess, you cannot interfere in the affairs of court officials."
Yun Zheng said with a smile, "Why is it a matter of the court? Am I not seeking revenge for a personal vendetta?"
She talks about taking revenge so openly, no one else can do that.
Lord Jiang: ...How shameless!
He could only turn to look at Father Yun, "Master Yun, please take care of your daughter. This is outrageous. Aren't you afraid of being noticed by the censor?"
How could Yun Zhanpeng possibly help him? "I've taught her since she was little that a person should be sharp, have edges and corners, and have a stand."
Yun Zheng explained, "In other words, if you don't agree, just fight! Even if you beat others up and make them cry, you can't let yourself be wronged."
Lord Jiang: ...Damn it, there is no normal person in the Yun family.
"Only women and villains are difficult to raise."
After saying this, he turned and left.
Yun Zheng shouted at his back, "Yes, yes, I am a woman, and you are a villain."
Lord Jiang paused and almost fell.
Yun Zheng ignored him and took out the snacks with a smile, setting them on the table. "Dad, try some. They're delicious."
Yun Zhanpeng picked up a piece of dessert and took a bite. "Why are you here all of a sudden?"
Yun Zheng looked around. The warehouse was not big. The display shelves were filled with account books. There were only two desks by the window, and no other officials were seen.
"I came to take a look at your office environment. Your colleagues don't seem very friendly."
Yun Zhanpeng didn't care at all. "It's okay. I've encountered much bigger difficulties before, and I still managed to get through them, didn't I?"
He has always been very tenacious and indomitable. He had been tempered by his previous business practices, trying to please officials everywhere and being bullied by all kinds of people.
Yun Zheng gave him a thumbs-up. "Dad, do you know what I admire most about you? It's that you never lack the courage to start over again. That's the most valuable thing."
Yun Zhanpeng smiled happily, he liked to hear this.
Yun Zheng accompanied her father for a snack, then stood up and said, "Dad, according to the rules, I should go visit the head of the Internal Affairs Department."
Since we are already on their territory, we should at least meet them and find out their attitude. After all, my father works for them and there is a possibility of cooperation in the future.
Yun Zhanpeng also stood up and said, "I'll go with you."
Yun Zheng waved her hand. With him around, some things were harder to say.
"No, no, go ahead and do your work. I'll go by myself."
She walked out of the house and Zi Yan, who was guarding the door, immediately followed her.
The Imperial Household Department was divided into seven departments and thirteen courtyards, and each department was scattered and occupied a large courtyard.
Yun Zheng looked around at the environment, her mind racing. Wherever she went, many people pointed and talked about her, but she didn't care.
The chief steward of the Imperial Household Department was named Zhang. He occupied a large courtyard by himself and was lazily sitting on a soft couch, drinking tribute tea and eating the most precious fresh fruits. He looked so leisurely.
At this moment, there was a noise outside, "Master General, Princess Jinyun wants to see you."
Manager Zhang frowned and said, "Just say I'm busy with official duties and don't have time."
He is the emperor's confidant and naturally knows a lot of inside information.
The emperor originally wanted her to come and assist him, but she was ungrateful and refused.
He felt unhappy when he thought about how he had missed many opportunities to make money and could not make any contribution.
As soon as he finished speaking, the door was forced open and Yun Zheng rushed in accompanied by Zi Yan.
The steward jumped up suddenly, straightened his clothes, and looked extremely ugly.
"How did you get in? Princess Jinyun, this is not the place for you."
Yun Zheng glanced around the room. The room was really big, and the furnishings were magnificent, everything was a tribute.
"Manager Zhang, you're enjoying it! This Yishan black tea was just delivered as tribute. The emperor just got to drink it, but you've already had it."
Zhang Zongguan's expression changed slightly. "It is the Emperor's grace. Please return."
Yun Zheng had already figured out his attitude. It seemed that he had the same idea as the emperor before. He wanted the benefits and the credit. He just treated her as a tool to be used, not even worthy of having a name.
She refused, which was ungrateful.
Yes, the Imperial Household Department is responsible for the royal family's food, clothing, and shelter. The steward is the emperor's foster brother. They grew up together and are the emperor's most trusted person. Even the prime minister has to be polite when he sees him.
"Okay, please tell the emperor this to his face. I promise I will never set foot in the Imperial Household Department again in my lifetime."
Manager Zhang's face changed. This was a threat. She would never set foot in the Imperial Household Department again, and naturally she would not care about the affairs of the Imperial Household Department.
However, the emperor still expected her to help the Imperial Household Department find some ways to make money and enrich the emperor's private treasury.
If he ruins the emperor's good deeds, he will also be in trouble.
"Princess Jinyun, your father is still in the Imperial Household Department."
This was also a reminder to Yun Zheng that her father was in his hands, so she should be careful with her words and actions.
Yun Zheng didn't care at all. "It's okay. I can help him find another seat. The emperor is a very easy-going person."
Is the Emperor easy to talk to? Zhang Zongguan was so angry that she laughed. She was the first person to say that.
Yun Zheng spoke frankly, "If anything happens to my father here, I'm going to make a scene. A big scene. And then, Manager Zhang, don't blame me for going crazy."
Well, she was just helping her father to deal with his immediate superior and asking his immediate superior to protect her father.
Manager Zhang: ...What the hell, is this how it's done?
"Am I afraid that you might make a scene? I am the emperor's foster brother."
Yun Zheng nodded seriously, "I know. You and my father are the same. We both came in through the back door."
Manager Zhang felt his blood boiling in his chest, and he really wanted to curse.
He was chosen by the emperor, while Yun Zhanpeng relied on his daughter to get to the top. They are different!
"you……"
There was a commotion outside, and a yamen runner rushed in in a panic, "Oh no, Master Chief Steward, something's happened to Master Yun Zhanpeng."
Yun Zheng's expression changed drastically, and she grabbed his clothes fiercely, "What happened?"
"The warehouse is on fire, and Master Yun Zhanpeng is inside."
"Boom!" Yun Zheng was struck by lightning, her eyes went dark, her body swayed, and she almost fell down.
Zi Yan held her, her eyes full of worry, "Master."
Yun Zheng bit her lip hard, and blood flowed out. The pain made her sober up a little, and she pushed Zi Yan away and stumbled out.
Manager Zhang's face changed drastically. Oh no, something big is going to happen.
"Call everyone to put out the fire, quickly."
