The mad concubine of the group loves the world

Chapter 273

Yao Songming hastily had his dinner, it was already the next hour, he knew that his father was worried about Yan Yin, he didn't dare to delay for a moment, so he told his mother and wanted to set off for the yamen of the household department.

But as soon as he stepped out of the gate, he heard the voice of his younger sister Yao Shuiyue from behind:

"Brother! Wait a minute, brother."

Yao Songming turned his head and saw that his younger sister Yao Shuiyue was only wearing a pleated skirt of sapphire blue gauze, and she didn't even wear a cloak over the same elegant moon blue plain bead-trimmed jacket.

He was afraid that his sister would catch a cold, and he couldn't hide the blame in his words:

"Yue'er? It's so late and it's cold, what are you doing out there? Go back quickly."

But Yao Shuiyue chased after her elder brother regardless, and handed a food box in front of him, holding her small nose and muttering:
"My mother said that my brother didn't eat well for dinner, and she was afraid that you would starve at night, so I sent me silver silk rolls and sauced elbow flowers. I also know that you have not been to the yamen of the household department for a long time, so you must not know that it is Master Cui tonight. She is on duty in the file warehouse, and my mother specially prepared eight-treasure gourd duck and winter bamboo shoots with shrimp roe, and asked you to bring them to him as a supper."

After hearing this, Yao Songming sighed and was about to take the food box, but saw Yao Shuiyue take it back suddenly, pouted: "But I see that my brother doesn't appreciate it, so I'll keep it for myself~"

Seeing his younger sister gesturing to leave, Yao Songming's tone suddenly softened: "How can you be ungrateful? I have to thank Mother and Yue'er."

After passing the food box to the servant next to him, he took off his indigo cloak with bamboo leaf pattern and put it on Yao Shuiyue's shoulders: "Before going out, remember to add some clothes."

"Isn't it because elder brother is in a hurry?" Yao Shuiyue smiled sweetly, and then unwrapped a small wine bag from the side of his waist as if conjuring, "I secretly made it for elder brother, I didn't choose Shaodao baijiu in case you drank too much Something was wrong, the weather was cold, so I put Tusu wine to drive out the cold."

"Well, thank you Yue'er." Yao Songming nodded and took the wine bag and held it in his hand.

He turned around and was about to get on the carriage, but was stopped by Yao Shuiyue: "Brother! I heard from my father that you drank with the brothers from the Lu family last night..."

"Yue'er!" Yao Songming hurriedly stopped his younger sister's question, looked around and saw that there was no one around, then turned back and told, "You are discussing marriage now, you must not open your mouth and keep saying that you are brothers from the Lu family. If you let others listen, You have ruined your reputation and no one comes to propose marriage, what are you going to do?"

"How could..."

Seeing her elder brother's face turning cold suddenly, Yao Shuiyue paused again, and asked tentatively, "I just want to know, is Princess Yan's injury better?"

"Go back quickly." Hearing this, Yao Songming hated iron and steel, but he turned around and got into the carriage without answering.

But when he lifted the curtain, he saw that his younger sister was still looking forward to it, so she couldn't help but replied, "I don't know, but I heard from her elder brothers that she is awake, so don't worry."

Hearing this, Yao Shuiyue's eyes lit up immediately, she nodded with a smile: "Okay, I'll go back now."

Seeing her turn around and run away, Yao Songming looked at the wine bag in front of him and pouted.

She just wanted to inquire about Princess Yan's news, but my sister learned to do what she likes.

If you marry someone in the future and ask yourself to do things for your husband's family, you may have to use some crooked brains.

The carriage passed through several intersections and arrived at the Household Yamen outside the palace wall on the east side of the palace.

After reporting his name and verifying his token, Yao Songming took the food box and went straight to the document library in the backyard.

"Master Cui! Master Cui!" He walked briskly through the long corridor hung with plain lanterns, but just in time to see Master Cui locking the file vault heavily.

Before Yao Songming could open his mouth, Cui Jin, the head of the Guangxi Cleaning Department with a face full of bitterness and hatred, waved to him: "The thing you are looking for is not here, go back as soon as possible."

"Why did Master Cui say that?" Yao Songming was anxious.

"Oh! Why are you asking so many questions, let's go!"

Seeing that the other party didn't want to answer at all, he just pushed himself away, and he understood why his mother sent these few side dishes.

Immediately put on a smiling face and shook the food box: "Your Excellency has been busy all day, you haven't had dinner yet, my mother's eight-treasure gourd duck is a must!"

"Hey!~" Master Cui's brows were filled with worry, "You have a future, I really don't want to eat it!"

The two entered the side hall next to them, served some snacks, drank wine and clinked glasses, and chatted over the wine if they had something to say.

No wonder Master Cui disliked everyone today.

It turned out that two hours ago, the account books, inventories, and files of the Shanxi Qingli Department in the case file library for nearly 20 years were all transferred by Lu Yunli, the Minister of Criminal Affairs.Not to mention the release records of Yanyin, even the records of household registration population, land taxation, money and grain storage, there is not a single piece of paper left.

"Isn't the original of the household inventory list never loaned out? Where did he get the right?"

"He came with the imperial decree in person, how dare I neglect it?" Master Cui took a sip of his wine and bit an elbow flower, "But it's okay, he can guarantee that he will return it within three days."

Just as he was talking, Yao Songming put down his wine glass and went out to the Ministry of Punishment.

Wearing official robes, Lu Yunli was sitting in front of the long case in the back hall of the Yamen of the Ministry of Punishment. He was not surprised by Yao Songming's arrival.

He only motioned for him to find a chair to sit down, and then moved his fingers to He Xixian, Yin of Shuntian Mansion, who was bowing beside him:

"Next volume."

"Hey~ here it is." He Xixian held his breath and hurriedly handed over a file, "This is the murder case of the Bliss Temple in the south of the city. The thief smashed the brothel and killed the son of Dingbeihou. Because he had doubts about the cause of the suffering master's death, he was killed by the wolf cubs of Danba Qibu, but the people behind it were real."

Seeing Lu Yunli frowned slightly when he was flipping through the file, He Xixian broke out in a cold sweat, staring at the mung bean-sized eyes so that he didn't even dare to fart.

"It's property and human life."

As Lu Yunli spoke, he handed the file to a chief officer of the Ministry of Criminal Justice: "Lead someone to detain the suspects recorded in these cases, and interrogate the [-]th official secretary of the Criminal Transfer Department and the chief officer one by one, and record all the confessions in the case. "

Then he looked at the other head of the Criminal Department: "Take the actuary from the Thirteenth Cleaning Department of the Household Department to calculate the property losses at the scene of the crime, and submit a detailed list."

"Yes."

The two heads of the criminal department led the order to withdraw, followed by dozens of officials from the criminal department and the household department who came out of the side hall. They met Yao Songming, saluted one by one, and then withdrew together.

This was beyond Yao Songming's expectation.

It turned out that not only the case files of the Ministry of Household were originally transferred to the Ministry of Punishment, but even the actuary of the Thirteenth Cleaning Department of the Ministry of Household was called over overnight.

And what made him really realize the seriousness of the problem was that the Langzhong of the four major clean-up departments of the Ministry of Officials, Wenxuan, Yanfeng, Jixun, and Kaogong, also sat in the hall.There is a three-foot-square sandalwood box next to them, presumably it must be the copybook of the Ministry of Officials about the selection and assessment of Shanxi officials.

Looking at the rest of the officials of the Ministry of Criminal Affairs who were sitting sideways, although he couldn't remember his name, some of them looked familiar.It was only after seeing the other party's eyes dodging that they realized that they were the ones who had just gone to their own house to propose marriage?
The reception was originally orderly, but it was because of these people's chaos that the scene was chaotic!
Just when Yao's mansion was besieged by people proposing marriage, the people from their criminal department secretly transported all the documents here.

At this point, Yao Songming finally understood that this Lu Yunli really played a lot of tricks!
Seeing that everyone retreated one after another, and there were only two people left in the hall, he couldn't hold back his anger any longer, and walked up to Lu Yunli and questioned:
"The final general knows that Master Lu has always been ruthless and impartial in handling cases, but if so, how can he ignore the lifelong affairs of his younger sister? In vain, I thought that Master Lu is an upright gentleman!"

"Heh..." Lu Yunli waved his hands after listening, "Don't dare, dare not. Let's not talk about other things in the yamen."

Without waiting for Yao Songming to reply, he waved his sleeves and smiled and asked again: "Is the physical evidence at the scene of the Temple of Bliss crime scene in Yao's hands?"

Seeing Yao Songming's expression froze, Lu Yunli waved his hand again:

"Forget it, I don't need these officials either. However, in the autumn of the fifth year of Jingde, the Shanxi Yanzhi Bank's inventory is not in the household department's archives. I want to make it clear to you."
