Each government office has its own rules. You can't just come if you want to.
Let's just say that the Ministry of Households is in charge of the world's money and food. If you pick up a bamboo slip anywhere, it might record the tax revenue of an important town. How can you just get in if you are not an official of the Ministry of Households?
Tao Shaozhang was very embarrassed. He was wearing a fourth-grade official robe and carrying a gift, standing at the door of the government office, feeling aggrieved like a child weighing 140 pounds.
He couldn't figure out why Chen Yan wanted to trick him?
Didn't I say before that what Chu Qing wrote was all nonsense, but now...
"Brother Tao?"
With a soft call, Tao Shaozhang turned around numbly and saw Chen Yan walking from a distance with a smile on his face.
He raised his legs, took a running start, rushed over, and grabbed Tao Shaozhang's lapel, all in one movement.
Tao Shaozhang growled: "Why are you teasing me!"
Chen Yan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and gently pushed Tao Shaozhang away: "Playing, where do you start talking about this?"
"Mr. Chu, that Mr. Chu is your arithmetic instructor at the Ministry of Household Affairs!"
"Yes, that's right. The accounts that were handed over to you a few days ago were verified by Director Chu."
Tao Shaozhang's eyes were blood red: "But earlier, you clearly said that the Xiao County accounts he verified in my Tao Mansion were nonsense!"
Chen Yan smiled bitterly: "That's because I'm stupid and can't understand."
Tao Shaozhang: "..."
At this moment, Tao Shaozhang had all his thoughts on his mind.
The relationship has been turbulent for a long time. It's because you're not professional enough. It's just because you pretend to be an expert with me.
It has to be said that Tao Shaozhang was under particularly great mental pressure during this period.
From the beginning of the year to now, he has been thinking about the accounts of Xiao County all day long. When he thinks of the Li family bullying and harming the people, he wants to stab someone, but his father dissuades him, his colleagues are puzzled, and the superior officer thinks he is nosy.
Even his friends in Shilin, who often walked around with him, avoided him.
The more this happened, the more Tao Shaozhang wanted to prove to everyone that he was right, that he, Tao Shaozhang, was right, and that he, the young minister of Dali Temple, was willing to plead for the people of the world.
It's a pity that the professionalism is not the same. He, the young minister of Dali Temple, is engaged in "criminal investigation", and Li Lin, the master of Xiao County, is an "economic criminal". Let alone finding evidence, he doesn't even know how Li Lin embezzled money.
We only know how greedy we are, how we are greedy, and how much we are greedy, but we don’t know at all.
Now, finally, there is a dawn, there are "experts", and then, there is no more.
"I told Teacher Chu this morning to ask him to go find..." Chen Yan was not a fool. He immediately realized when he saw Tao Shaozhang's expression: "Brother Tao, could it be that you have already seen that you...you two had a quarrel?
!”
Tao Shaozhang nodded aggrievedly.
It wasn't that there was a quarrel, it was that guy's guard who almost stabbed me twice.
Mr. Tao was a humble gentleman. He did not hide anything, did not add jealousy, and told the whole story in detail.
After hearing Chen Yan's words, his back molars felt a little dull, which made him angry.
"The misunderstanding started because of you!" Tao Shaozhang was also quite shameless and said angrily: "Go and help me explain. Go, go now."
"this…"
Chen Yan's face was full of embarrassment.
Tao Shaozhang took a breath of cold air: "Are you even afraid of this little official?"
Chen Yan forced a smile and chuckled.
Even I am afraid, I am the most afraid, okay!
Among the people in this household, as long as they don't go to court, no one is afraid of him. It's true that this guy is capable, and it's true that he has a vicious mouth.
They are all civil servants, they are all members of the scholarly community, and they are all from mixed cultural circles. Swearing is one of the necessary skills and means of making a living for everyone.
The result, when Chu Qing taught arithmetic, it really opened everyone’s eyes. Let’s just say that on the first day of teaching arithmetic, many officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs were scolded as suspicious of life, and there was even one in his forties.
After being scolded by Chu Qing for half an hour because he couldn't calculate the salaries of the officials, the 20-year-old boss wanted to write his resignation and submit a letter to resign. Everyone tried to persuade him for a long time.
When other civil servants curse, at most they are attacking your character from the moral high ground.
Chu Qing didn't think so. He just took out other people's self-esteem, tore it up and threw it on the ground. Then he stomped on it, and then yelled "hepei" after stamping on it. This was not the end, and he also asked everyone to "hepei" together.
Normally when meeting Chu Qing, this guy could break his heart with just three words no matter what the matter was. If he were to plead with Tao Shaozhang, Chen Yan could no longer imagine it. Chu Qing's words were so damn depressing.
Seeing the embarrassment on Chen Yan's face, Tao Shaozhang looked arrogant: "I don't care, this matter started because of you, you have to help me deal with it!"
Chen Yan accidentally caught a glimpse of the gift and slapped his forehead: "Brother Yu, I thought of it. Brother Tao, did you bring any money?"
"money?"
"Yes, take them all out."
"But you want to give money to Mr. Chu?"
"That's true."
Tao Shaozhang frowned: "Isn't this an insult to others?"
Chen Yan was very angry.
It was also humiliating. In the morning, this guy almost put his hand in my pocket in order to get money.
"Just listen to me."
"Okay, please don't try to trick me again." Tao Shaozhang had no choice but to become a doctor. He called the attendant and took out all the three guans of money he had brought with him.
After getting the money, Chen Yan laughed and said, "Follow me to the Yamen."
The two of them walked into the Hubu Yamen office one after the other.
When he arrived at the door of the class room, Chen Yan knocked on the door: "Chu Shucheng, it's me, Chief Chen."
Without waiting for a reply from inside the room, Chen Yan pushed open the door and entered.
Chu Qing was yawning with his legs crossed. He curled his lips and before he could speak, Chen Yan spoke first.
"Master Tao heard that Chu Shucheng is worried about the repair of Taowu Palace. He is willing to donate generously to help your Chu Mansion make up for the shortfall."
Chu Qing quickly sat up straight: "How many bags have been removed?"
Chen Yan smiled slightly and placed the three pieces of money on the table.
Tao Shaozhang, who originally followed in, had a flattering smile on his face, but when he heard about "renovating Taowu Hall", his face suddenly changed.
"Chen Yan, what do you mean? The Taowu Palace is in a deficit. Could it be that the Chu family father and son embezzled money? If so, I will definitely imprison the Chu family father and son unselfishly!"
Chen Yan was ready to turn around and kick Tao Shaozhang.
Sure enough, before Chen Yan could speak, Chu Qing sneered and pointed at the door: "Get out!"
When he cursed "Go away", Chu Qing did not forget to put the three pieces of money on the table into his sleeve.
Chen Yan smiled bitterly, turned around, and then told the whole story.
After hearing this, Tao Shaozhang blushed and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in.
Taking a deep breath, Tao Shaozhang looked expressionless as he bypassed Chen Yan and came to Chu Qing.
Chu Qing grabbed the paperweight on the table, ready to strike first at any time.
Unexpectedly, Tao Shaozhang smiled, his smile became more and more flattering, and even his voice was full of flattery.
"Hey, Mr. Chu, you and I hit it off right away. It's just a small misunderstanding. I, no, Brother Yu knows that you and Master Chu Wensheng are both loyal and patriotic. How can you be greedy for black money and silver?
, Don’t be angry, don’t be angry, Brother Yu, I’m just joking with you, don’t be angry, you’ll be so angry that Brother Yu will feel guilty.”
Chu Qing snorted coldly and pointed to the door again.
Tao Shaozhang gritted his teeth and kept his smile unchanged: "Mr. Chu, aren't you thinking about your sister-in-law? Can I introduce you to her someday?"
Chen Yan was stunned.
Shaozhang...you have changed. Your character, integrity, and uprightness have changed. You are too...too arrogant.
"Your sister... you, the Tao family, can keep it for yourself and take your time." Chu Qing glanced at the gift and said angrily: "Discount it."
