After my voice was eavesdropped, I became the favorite of the imperial court.

The five ministers left the palace dejectedly.

Before getting on the bus, the Minister of Hubu asked the Minister of Libu with a look of reluctance: "Is this how we let it go?"

Before the Minister of Personnel could say anything, the Minister of Rites said: "I can't just let it go. I have to rely on Mu Nanjin to receive Shi Chen."

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

The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel suggested: "Let's go to the Ministry of Punishment to take a look at the situation and then make a decision. What do you think?"

"it is good."

The other four ministers all nodded in agreement.

After two cups of tea, five carriages stopped at the gate of the Criminal Department.

The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel got out of the car and immediately said to the guard guarding the door: "There is no need to report, we will go in and find the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment ourselves."

"Yes."

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

The former officials from the Ministry of Justice hurried past them as if there was wind at their feet.

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

Today's officials of the Ministry of Punishment are very leisurely. Some stand in front of flowers and count flower pieces, and some sit in the pavilion drinking tea and chatting, as if this is a leisure teahouse, not the Ministry of Punishment.

The five ministers looked at each other, then quietly came to the window of the study room of the Minister of Punishment and secretly looked through the window crack.

Mu Nanjin was sitting in the seat of the Minister of Justice, writing furiously, and his thoughts kept coming out, trying to achieve the ultimate in dual-tasking.

[Are all the officials of the Ministry of Justice so free that they still have time to drink tea and chat? 】

[Seeing them smiling so happily makes me, a busy person, really unhappy. 】

[I really want to rush to Zuo Shilang and Right Shilang and tell them...]

"Cough cough..."

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

Mu Nanjin glanced at the Minister of Punishment and made sure that he was fine, then continued to think about [Left Minister and Right...]

"Cough cough cough..."

The Minister of Punishment coughed a few more times to interrupt Mu Nanjin's thoughts.

Mu Nanjin looked up at him.

The Minister of Justice took a sip of tea from his tea cup very leisurely.

Mu Nanjin continued to work.

[The right minister and the left minister...]

"Cough cough cough cough..."

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

The Minister of Punishment put down his tea cup and waved his hand: "It's an old problem, it's okay."

[Aren’t your old problems like moles, fistulas, excessive farts and constipation? 】

【When did you get one more cough? 】

Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice: "..."

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

The Minister of Punishment and Mu Nanjin turned to look out the door and saw five other Ministers of the Ministry of Justice walking in.

The Minister of Punishment looked surprised: "Five adults, why are you here?"

The Minister of Civil Affairs smiled and said, "We happen to be free, so we made an appointment to come over to see you."

The Minister of Punishment stood up and went to greet them: "My study is full of case files. I really can't make room to entertain you all, so I have to sit down in the corridor outside."

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

Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice: "..."

I always feel that the person who comes here is not good.

Before leaving, the Minister of Libu held down the shoulders of the Minister of Criminal Affairs to prevent him from getting up.

The Minister of the Ministry of Finance touched the box next to him and said, "Are they all filled with case files?" The Minister of the Ministry of Justice replied, "Yes."

After Mu Nanjin finished reviewing the case file in his hand, he put down his pen and saluted all the adults: "I have met all of you."

The Minister of Rites showed a kind smile: "Mu Yatou, we are all our own people. You don't have to be so polite to us. Just sit back and go about your business. Don't worry about us. Let's take a look at it as we like."

The Minister of Industry pointed at the box and said, "Won't Mu Yatou have to read all the files in the box?"

The Minister of Punishment inexplicably felt that answering this would be causing trouble for himself, so he simply remained silent.

The Minister of the Ministry of War said to Mu Nanjin: "Thank you for your hard work, Mu Yatou. Speaking of which, being in the Ministry of Justice is really tiring. There are endless case files every day. It is better for us in the Ministry of War. We don't have to read so many case files that are a headache. It takes too much mental energy. We are only responsible for selecting military attachés or visiting places such as the Ordnance Bureau. Only when there is a war, our military department will be busier. "

The Minister of Hubu snorted: "It sounds like the Ministry of War doesn't have to work. I don't know who is always tired like a dog."

The Minister of the Ministry of War lowered his face: "The Minister of the Ministry of Hubu, please pay attention to the words you use."

Shangshu Hube didn't take him seriously and turned to look the other way.

The Minister of Rites smiled and said: "Speaking of relaxation, we in the Ministry of Rites are relaxed. Mu Yatou once experienced it. She accompanied the envoys to play around every day, or to eat and drink with the envoys. Do you think this is very easy?"

Mu Nanjin couldn't help but nodded as she remembered what happened in the past.

[It is indeed easier than reading case files, as for eating, drinking and having fun...]

The Minister of Rites said happily: "Look at Mu Yatou, you think our Rites department is relaxed."

The other five ministers: "..."

The Minister of Industry and Commerce scoffed: "Easy? Which of the six films is easy? If you do something wrong accidentally, you will lose your head."

The Minister of Rites did not dare to speak out again.

The Minister of Punishment stood up and said: "Sir, you are not here just to compare whose official duties are easier, right?"

The Minister of the Ministry of Personnel smiled: "Didn't we come over to take a look after you said that Mu Yatou was helping you review the case files? Speaking of which, Mu Yatou hasn't been to our Ministry of Personnel yet, right? You are welcome to come and sit in our Ministry of Personnel at any time."

The Minister of the Ministry of Industry smiled and said: "We at the Ministry of Industry also welcome you."

The Minister of the Ministry of War also rushed to say: "We at the Ministry of War also welcome you, it is best to go there tomorrow."

The Minister of Punishment finally understood.

These old guys are trying to steal people from him.

He said angrily: "Mu Yatou has to deal with the case files and isn't going anywhere."

The Minister of Hubu hummed: "Mu Yatou is free to go wherever she wants. Is it possible that you, the Punishment Department, still want to lock Mu Yatou?"

The Minister of the Ministry of War agreed: "The Minister of the Ministry of Hubu is right."

Shangshu of the Ministry of Justice: "..."

He regretted it.

He regretted running to show off to other ministers.

Now they are all coming to snatch people from him.

[These ministers have always avoided me but suddenly became so enthusiastic about me. There is something wrong, there is definitely something wrong. 】

[Let me see what they want to do. 】

The five ministers became nervous for a while.

[Hey, why didn’t you mention the reason why they came to the Criminal Department? 】

[Am I too worried? 】

The five ministers secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The Minister of Civil Affairs added: "We still have things to do, so we won't disturb you."

The Minister of Punishment said angrily: "I won't send it."

When the Minister of Personnel and others walked away, the Minister of Punishment said to Mu Nanjin: "They are just a bunch of bad old men, don't pay attention to them."

Mu Nanjin didn't answer him, but thought to herself, "You little old man, why don't you just leave all the work to me?" snort. 】

The Minister of Punishment was ashamed.

He said that he ignored the Minister of Civil Affairs and the others, but that didn't mean that others wouldn't get involved.

Early the next morning, the carriage of the Minister of Civil Affairs stopped at the gate of Mu Mansion. (End of chapter)
