Xiao Yan looked at Lu Jia.

With such handsome facial features, how can he give birth to such a vicious heart, and it is strange that people like it.

"Okay, so what do you want to do first?" Xiao Yan asked.

"Zha Liangxiao, has the prince already found out?"

Xiao Yan propped up the table with his elbow, "Zha Liangxiao, I'm here to check, let me ask you what you want to do?" ”

"Overhead Household Department Shangshu."

If someone else said this, Xiao Yan would think that this person was bragging or talking nonsense, but it was Lu Jia who said it...... He rubbed his fingertips and twisted his fingers, "Need my help?" ”

"No, each does his job."

Obviously, he didn't talk about anything, but when he came out of the household, Xiao Yan was as energetic as if he had poured three bowls of chicken blood.

"Lord Xiao? Why did you come to our household again? ”

I was coming out of the gate of the Household Mansion.,I met the Household Scholar who was about to come in.。

Skinny talked to him without smiling.

Because the third brother was arrested, it was found that there were several people from the household department behind him, Xiao Yan recently investigated the household department very tightly, and the household department Shangshu naturally did not have a good face towards him.

Xiao Yan looked calm, "My fair lady, good gentleman, who let you have a beautiful little female official in your household!" ”

Leaving the next sentence, Xiao Yan turned his feet and left.

Hubu Shangshu looked at Xiao Yan's back, frowned, and when he entered the Hubu Mansion, he summoned his relatives to step forward, "What is Xiao Yan doing with that dog?" ”

"Looking for Lady Lu Official" replied truthfully.

Tobe Shangshu raised his eyebrows in some surprise, "It's gone?" ”

Qin Sui shook his head, "It's gone." ”

Tobe Shangshu wondered, "He didn't go to the back room, and he didn't say who he wanted to interrogate?" Who are you talking to? ”

"I didn't do anything, I went directly to the female official Lu, and I didn't stay long, and the kung fu of about a cup of tea came out, and I heard the servant who was waiting over there say, vaguely like he mentioned something about the raw silk of the Zhenguo Mansion."

Tobe Shangshu was stunned for a moment, and then sneered.

"This dog has a very smart nose, but it smells of raw silk, but it doesn't matter, he checked and checked, it was found on Lu Qingshan's head, Lu Qingshan is the in-laws of Rong'anhou's mansion, when the time comes, Rong'anhou will naturally clean him up, don't bother us."

Hubu Shangshu felt more and more that accepting Lu Jia, a female official, was a good deal.

Not only did he get a lot of affordable silver tickets, but he also had contacts with Lu Qingshan that could be attacked, retreated, and defended.

"Adult ......"

Just when Tobe Shangshu was thinking about beauty, his personal entourage called him with hesitation.

"How?" Tobe Shangshu lifted his eyelids and looked at him, "I have something to say." ”

"Recently, the household department has been a little strange. ”

"Strange?"

"Our government has been divided into three major factions in the past, one is about to retire, one is the new young officials, and the other is the middle layer, which is familiar with the yamen, and there is no hope of promotion.

But in order to maintain the last glory, the new wave always wants to maintain a good relationship with adults in order to gain the favor of adults.

But recently, I found out that this doesn't seem to be the case. ”

"Isn't it?" Hubu Shangshu has been busy arranging hundreds of thousands of taels of silver tickets at home out of thin air recently, and he doesn't care so much about the affairs of the Hubu.

The biggest thing is that various departments distribute Yulu, and the most difficult Jingwei camp Liang Xiao has already pushed it to Lu Jia, what else can there be a big deal.

Hubu Shangshu was full of suspicion.

"I don't know if it's too much to be lowly and distracted, but I always feel that the gang of people who want to sue the old and the newcomers are joining forces to squeeze those middle layers."

In the end, it was the new officials who solved the problems of the merchants, but the most slippery ones in the middle not only did not reap the benefits from the merchants, but instead complained with the merchants.

There have been several incidents, one of which almost killed someone. ”

The oil and water in the household have always been thick.

Not to mention anything else, the exorbitant taxes alone and the large shops in Kyoto are enough for the officials who collect the taxes to make a lot of money.

Generally, part of this kind of thing is in the hands of middle-level officials, and part of it is used by the head of the household department as a means to buy people's hearts and minds to entrap those newly recruited officials.

In order to balance the entire household and achieve a state of mutual balance, the emperor turned a blind eye to this, as long as the upper and lower levels could contain each other.

Can ...... now The newcomers are working with the old ones?

"Are you sure?"

He shook his head, "I'm not sure, it's just a feeling." ”

As he was talking, a middle-aged man came in outside, "Lord Shangshu wants to call the shots for the lower officials!" ”

Hubu Shangshu turned his head to look over, and saw Gao Zhun, the right attendant of the household, coming in from the outside with miserable eyes, walking inward, crying, "I can't live this day!" ”

Tobe Shangshu: ......

Do you want to reconcile or what?

"What's wrong?" Tobe asked.

Although this right attendant is also a middle-level official, he usually has a good relationship with the head of the household, and he has eaten and drunk together a few times in private.

"The merchants in charge of the three officials under my command have all clashed with the three officials today, not only have the taxes not been collected in full, but the other party has also said that they will never hand over the taxes to them, saying that they are the moths of the imperial court.

He also said that he would make a fuss about all the extra taxes that have come up in the past few years, so that everyone can see our faces and so on.

My lord, who is stumbling me behind my back?

It's not just about ruining our reputation, it's about putting the whole household to death!

I also ask that the adults will preside over justice. ”

The right waiter complained about Ai Ai's grievances, and the head of the household department was loud when he heard it, coupled with the words he had just said in person, he couldn't figure out for a while whether it was the household department's own people or who was outside who was stumbling behind it.

can only appease the right waiter first, "Don't worry, I'll check this matter, and I will definitely give you an explanation, our household department has always been in harmony with everyone's well water and not river water, and now there must be a reason for the problem, don't worry." ”

"Can I not be in a hurry, it seems that when the accounts are summarized, the taxes on our side cannot be collected, how to summarize them at that time!" The right squire is not in a hurry, he is simply anxious to spit fire.

Shangshu of the Criminal Department said: "It's useless for you to be in a hurry, it's not early today, you go back first, I'll check first, and I'll tell you after the check." ”

Hubu Shangshu said all this, and the right waiter couldn't say anything more, so he could only retire.

"Tall, sir."

came out of the gate of the Yamen of the Ministry of Household and was stopped by Lu Jia.
