Chapter XXVII

It's getting late, and it's hard to go back today.

When the master came, he didn't expect it to be so late, but after a brief introduction, he joined the ranks of the officials to check the accounts. Looking at the demon who looked at King Rui, there was no movement, he sat in the chair leaning over, holding the tea in one hand and snorting lightly, what the hell is this thing for?!

In the lobby of the household department, boxes of old accounts were turned out. Each person has his own task to verify the income and expenditure of each item. They now have two tasks, one is to find out whether there are court officials who have privately received from their subordinates through the past years, and report the news. This is to clean up the chess pieces that have been buried inside. The second is to calculate how much balance there is in the treasury and whether there is any disposable money to be transferred to Nanyin County for disaster relief.

These two items are now urgent and should be addressed as a matter of urgency.

But I am a master who can't check the accounts, but this matter can't be publicized, I don't know if Zhou Xiaochuan will check the accounts, but this King Rui must be on par with the master.

King Rui saw the man with the tea, and he was a little clumsy at a rare sight.

On weekdays, he looks like he is not smiling, and he is always hand-to-hand wherever he goes, and he is resolute. During the years of being an attendant, he fulfilled all the requests of the imperial brother word for word.

More than ten years of acting in the same way, and then he failed.

Dying, in danger, but in the end survived. After surviving, he changed, and for the first time, he did not complete the task of the imperial brother according to the regulations.

It is very strange to see him trying to cover up and pretend to be calm and composed.

Xiao Ye is not a great god, and he will not be all-encompassing, but I just know one person, and he is very proficient in this way.

"I wonder if the prince can be honored for a moment?" I thought that seeing the embarrassing scene he had not encountered in a hundred years would be a great joy in life, so it could be regarded as a flavor adjustment.

"It's okay, it's okay, Xiaochuan, you can retire in advance." If he fled without a fight, such a thing would never have happened to Zhou Xiaochuan, but if it weren't for this, it would be very interesting.

"Thank you."

If I'm not mistaken, Master, there should still be someone with me in those secret guards, although they don't dare to follow too close in the General's Mansion, and if they are not careful, they may be discovered, but outside, if no one follows, I will not believe it.

"Sayoko is there?" Look around the corner where no one is watching! Towards the Void, call twice.

"Your Excellency, please command."

It's really Sayoko! This should be the person they have internally designated to stay behind and protect me secretly.

"Go to the building, please Ruyun when it gets dark, change into men's clothes and guard at the entrance of the official department, waiting for my order."

Take advantage of the night to pull Ruyun to work overtime. After all, a woman entering the Ministry will bring gossip to Ruyun, so it's better to hide it.

"Yes, my subordinates will do it."

After about an hour and a half, I went inside again. There was no shortage of the mountain of books. But those who are overworked look tired, and it is just useless to continue to do it.

"All of you colleagues have worked hard today, put aside the work at hand for the time being, and we will continue tomorrow." The ten-day limit set by the emperor didn't make people sleepless, did it?

"Thank you, Lord Wang, the next official will retire." Everyone in the ministry also knew that this was not a task that could be completed in one day, but because Lord Rui, who usually left early, was still here, he had to do it.

The boss spoke, and he could leave. Although I know that the disaster is urgent, it cannot be solved overnight, and it is useless to stay here to do useless work, so it is better to go back to rest and recuperate.

Now that I'm hungry, it's time to eat. Lord Rui is also a human being, so he is naturally more expensive, and he can't be slack. He doesn't care about himself, and some people around him take care of the identity of the prince and always have to persuade him.

If he is gone, it will be much easier to do, and I can inform Ruyun outside the wall.

"Xiaochuan, you haven't ridden a horse, do you want to go back with this king?"

The master doesn't go back now, even if he goes back, his hitchhiker, the master doesn't have the slightest intention of taking a ride.

"Thank you for the prince's kindness, please take the first step, Xiaochuan wants to pace back, and the prince is worried."

Seeing that in the farewell of the ministers, Lord Rui also retreated. I don't know if the young master is a thief, but at this time, he doesn't care about it, compared with his life, he will talk about the rest.

Give Sayoko a signal and let him lead Ruyun to come. He is also fast, in the name of bringing me food, he came in generously, don't say that she looks very calm, she is really a woman who has seen the world and experienced ups and downs.

"Ruyun, did you hear what Sayoko said?"

"Yes, it is not too difficult for the master to explain things, but it takes time for subordinates, and there are not a few people who have recorded the account books of the officials."

"How long will it take you?"

If she is the only one, as vast as the Hanhai account book, it is natural to consider giving people enough time to find out clearly.

"You know, you'll only have three nights." In the daytime, I will definitely not expose Ruyun in front of people, the royal secret guard, even if it is a royal relative like King Rui, he can't reveal half a point. Only this night, in the name of staying up late and working overtime, I can buy some time for Ruyun here.

I can't work overtime every day, and in the long run, I will inevitably be observed by someone who cares, and then I don't know where the veil of the secret guard will be lifted. Ruyun is the owner of the home-away building, she is also the secret operator of many wine shops and teahouses, and even Rouge Willow Lane, Xiang Mansion, in this mixed field of dragons and snakes, she has shown her face, and the people who come to these places are unknown juniors, and there are not a few rich and noble people.

These fields are the source of intelligence, if the clouds are out of the water, then the intelligence of the entire dark line will be exposed, and when the time comes, everyone will be in danger, and the trust in the monarch will be completely corrupted.

Thinking about it like this, the master's plan was a little desperate, and this also pulled Ruyun Xiaoyezi, and he was very unhappy.

"My lord, you have used this meal first, and your body must be carefully maintained now."

Okay, okay, you know, I secretly brought you here, and you still want to bring me food.

"My lord, these are not sent by Ruyun, I just met with the people from the General's Mansion in front of the door, and they asked me to bring them here for you."

Sayoko set the dishes and chopsticks and explained. I didn't feel the instantly embarrassed air behind me. Ruyun's face turned red, so he turned around, picked up the account book and studied it by himself, Master, I don't want to be here with a pestle, which makes other girls uncomfortable. So he took a snack and went out.

"My lord, you can use these meals ......"

"Sayoko, it's all up to you."

Ran away from the wilderness, but I didn't think that there was still a person guarding the door.

Aoyama waited in a carriage.
