Chapter 580 Rat Infestation
The two of them followed the servants into the imperial study room. In the imperial study room, behind the large desk, the new emperor was sitting there in a dragon robe, holding a memorial in his hand, frowning, shaking his head and sighing while listening to it. When someone came in, he put the memorial aside, looked up, saw Yuan Mu and Mu Liuyun behind him, and smiled very kindly.

"It turns out that Zizhong is here! You are still punctual as always! This is the pusher mentioned in your qualifications who has helped you a lot?" The new emperor called out cordially when he opened his mouth. After reading Yuan Mu's words, his attitude was very affectionate.

Yuan Mu and Mu Liuyun knelt down and saluted according to the palace rules. Yuan Mu nodded when he heard the new emperor's words and replied, "Exactly."

When Mu Liuyun heard the new emperor mentioning himself, he quickly bowed lower: "My humble servant pays homage to His Majesty! I wish His Majesty all blessings!"

The new emperor didn't find anything strange about Mu Liuyun's trembling. He just nodded and waved to the servants below, "Show a seat for the prince and son of the county, and bring me a pot of my new good tea."

These servants are indeed serving the nobles in the palace, and they are more than ten thousand times quicker and smarter than ordinary servants. As soon as the new emperor ordered them, chairs were moved over there immediately for them to sit down, and tea was also delivered after a while .

The new emperor waited for the servants to pour tea for Yuan Mu and the others, and waved for them to leave. The servants retreated obediently, and closed the door of the imperial study room. Only Yuan Mu, Mu Liuyun and Duan Si were left in the room. The new emperor behind the desk.

Just now, Mu Liuyun took advantage of the time when the new emperor was reading the memorial and ordering his servants to sneak a few quick glances at him. He saw that the present-day sage was born full of heaven, because he and Yuan Mu were brothers again, and his appearance was somewhat different. It's similar, except that the eyebrows and eyes are softer than Yuan Mu's toughness, and it doesn't look sharp, but it looks amicable.

Although he is a brother and a real relative by blood, the emperor's status is noble after all. Even if he treats Yuan Mu with kindness, Yuan Mu still abides by the etiquette and does not appear presumptuous at all. He began to report to the new emperor in a serious manner. During this period of time, many matters handled by the Criminal Division were extremely detailed in all aspects.

Sitting aside and listening silently, Mu Liuyun couldn't help feeling a little proud in his heart.

The Criminal and Prison Division of Jingji Road has a wide jurisdiction. It has to be in charge of the prisons of the counties and counties along the road, supervise the rape and robbers, review the unjust cases, and supervise the officials everywhere, and even the taxation. It can be seen.

However, Yuan Mu is able to do everything with ease, without omissions in every aspect. Now sitting in front of the new emperor, he is also familiar with all kinds of affairs in the Criminal Division and all aspects of the state capitals on Gyeonggi Road. This is not the case. Anyone can do it casually, if they are not talented, no matter how much effort they put in, it will be in vain.

I have to admit, my vision is really good...

When the new emperor listened to Yuan Mu's report, he was also very serious. While listening carefully, he would also ask some questions along with Yuan Mu's statement. After receiving Yuan Mu's clear answer, his face gradually showed satisfaction. expression.

"That's right! You have Zi Zhong to serve as a prison officer on Jingji Road for me. I feel at ease! This is not only to relieve my worries, but also a blessing for the people along Jingji Road!" After listening to Yuan Mu's recent events, Xin Emperor Longyan was very happy, nodding in praise.

At the same time, he did not ignore some of Mu Liuyun's actions that Yuan Mu mentioned repeatedly during the process, so he turned his attention to Mu Liuyun who was aside, "Zi Zhong is not only talented, but also quite talented." The talent of Bole, knowing people well, being able to discover talents and appointing them properly, is very good! I just heard that many of these unjust and strange cases are all thanks to the great help of this Mutui official, otherwise it would not be so It’s easy to ascertain the truth.”

"That's true!" Yuan Mu praised Mu Liuyun in front of the new emperor, but he was not polite, "If it weren't for the assistance of Mu Tui, I'm afraid that each of these cases would take a lot of trouble, and if I'm not careful, I'm afraid it will be a big deal. Let people be fooled!
When His Majesty looked through the minister's memorial later, he could see how important the role Mu Tui played in this. "

The new emperor looked at Mu Liuyun appreciatively, and nodded. Mu Liuyun was still very nervous and restrained. She knew that Yuan Mu's good words to her were all foreshadowing the rewards of the new emperor later, but as for the ineffectiveness , now no one can tell.

After talking about the work report, the new emperor was in a good mood, and began to chat with Yuan Mu about family affairs.

"The Duke of Zhongyong hasn't come to the palace much recently, and I'm a little busy, so I haven't had time to ask him how he is doing." The new emperor said to Yuan Mu, "How is the old Duke?"

"Returning to Your Majesty, my father is fine. There is only one thing that has caused him some worries in recent days. The house at home has not changed much for many years. I don't know when, there are often mice in the dark place of the house. Activity."

"Oh?!" The new emperor frowned, "The old county king, did he ever try to get rid of those annoying mice?"

Yuan Mu shook his head: "Father said that there are only a few mice, but they only ate a few taels of rice bran. For this reason, the servants in the family were made to spend a lot of time trying to catch the mice. No one is safe. The gain outweighs the loss, so just ignore it.

As a result, this procrastination has been delayed until now, only to find that the rat problem in the house is getting worse and worse. Those big rats have become a climate, moving in the dark, gnawing the cloth and clothes in the house, and removing the stored food in the warehouse. Let it go, I'm afraid it will start to gnaw on the pillars and beams. "

The new emperor frowned, and sighed slowly: "Then you have to persuade the old county king when you go back. The rat problem can be big or small. If you want to keep a little leftovers, you will toss the whole family to make peace. It's not worth it, but if it has reached such a rampant point, then it must be dealt with! Otherwise, I'm afraid it's your house, and it will be handed over to those rats."

"Your Majesty's words are very true! I also think so." Yuan Mu nodded and responded.

Just as I was talking, the voice of the servant came from outside the door: "Your Majesty, Lan Jieyu is here and wants to see you... Hey! Lan Jieyu, you can't just break in like this! The Emperor is summoning Mr. Yuan... ..."

Before the servant could finish his words, the door of the royal study was pushed open, a beautiful woman in flamboyant dress, who was crying like pear blossoms with tears in her eyes, ran in from outside, she seemed to ignore the servant's reminder, rushed in and rushed straight Xiang Shuan fell to his knees with a plop in front of the case, crying, "Your Majesty! You must be the master of this concubine, save my life!"
