Chapter 27 The official office checks the accounts

Chapter twenty-seven

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

When the young master arrived, he did not expect that it would be so late, but after a brief introduction, everyone in the official department joined the ranks of checking the accounts. Looking at King Rui, the monster has not made any movement yet. He is sitting sideways in the chair, holding tea in one hand and sipping lightly. What on earth is this guy doing? !

In the lobby of the Ministry of Accounts, boxes of old accounts were unearthed. Everyone has their own tasks and verifies all income and expenditure one by one. They now have two tasks. One is to find out through the exchanges over the years whether there are court officials who have communicated privately with the subordinates and leaked information. This is to clean up the chess pieces buried inside. The second is to calculate how much balance there is in the national treasury and whether there is any money that can be allocated to Nanyin County for disaster relief.

These two items are urgent and must be dealt with as a matter of priority.

But I am a master who doesn't know how to check accounts, but this matter cannot be made public. I don't know whether Zhou Xiaochuan knows how to check accounts, but this Prince Rui is definitely on par with me.

King Rui was holding the tea and saw the man out of the corner of his eye, looking a little clumsy in a rare way.

On weekdays, he has a serious look, and wherever he goes, he is quick and decisive. During these years of serving as an attendant, he fulfilled every request of the emperor's brother without missing a beat.

He behaved the same way for more than ten years, and then he failed.

Dying, in danger, but finally survived. After surviving, he changed. For the first time, he failed to complete the emperor's brother's mission as required.

It was very strange to see him trying to conceal himself and pretending to be calm and composed.

I'm not a master, and I don't know everything about it, but I happen to know someone who is very proficient in this.

"I wonder if your lord, would you please excuse me for a moment?" I thought that seeing him in such a difficult situation, which he had not seen in a century, would be one of the great pleasures in life, so this was also a good way to spice things up.

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Xiaochuan, you can just resign in advance." If he fled without a fight, such a thing would never happen to Zhou Xiaochuan, but if it wasn't for this, it would be very interesting.

"Thank you."

Master, if I remember correctly, there should still be someone from that group of secret guards by my side. Although they did not dare to follow me too close in the General's Mansion, as they might be discovered if they are not careful, but outside, if you say If no one follows you, I will definitely not believe it.

"Is Sayoko here?" Looking for an unattended corner! Facing the void, call twice.

"My lord, please give me your instructions."

It’s really Sayoko! This should be the person they designated to stay and secretly protect me.

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

Taking advantage of the darkness, he dragged Ruyun to work overtime. A woman entering the official department would eventually bring gossip to Ruyun, so it would be better to hide it.

"Yes, my subordinate will do it now."

After about half an hour of fussing, I went inside again. There are also mountains of account books. But those who were overworked looked exhausted, and it would be useless if they continued to work.

"My colleagues have worked hard today. Let's put the work at hand aside for now. We will continue tomorrow." The ten-day limit set by the emperor didn't make people sleepless, right?

"Thank you, Your Majesty. I will resign." Everyone in the staff also knew that this was not a task that could be completed in one day, but because Prince Rui, who usually left early, was still here, he had no choice but to do it.

After the boss has spoken, you can leave. Although we know that the disaster is urgent, it cannot be solved overnight. Staying here is useless, so it is better to go back and rest.

Now that I'm hungry too, it's time to eat. Prince Rui is also a human being, so naturally he is much more precious and cannot be neglected in the slightest. He doesn't care about himself. There are many people around him who care about his status as a prince and always want to give him some advice.

If he leaves, this matter will be much easier to handle, and I can also notify Ruyun outside the wall.

"Xiaochuan, you have never ridden a horse. Do you want to go back with me?"

The young master is not going back now. Even if he goes back, the young master has no intention of taking a ride on him.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness. Your Majesty, please go ahead. Xiaochuan wants to walk back, but I'm sorry, Your Majesty."

As the ministers said their goodbyes, Prince Rui also retreated. I don't know if the young master's guilty conscience could be seen by others, but at this time, he didn't care about so many things. Compared with his life, let's talk about other things.

Give Xiaoyezi a signal and ask him to lead Ruyun to come. He was quite fast, and came in generously under the guise of delivering food to me. Not to mention her calm demeanor, she was indeed a woman who had seen the world and gone through ups and downs.

"Ruyun, did you listen to Sayoko?"

"Yes, it is not too difficult for the master to explain, but it takes time for subordinates, and there are many people who are recorded in the official account books."

"How long do you need?"

If she was the only one with such a vast account book, she would naturally have to consider giving people enough time to find out clearly.

"You know, in this case, you only have three nights." I will definitely not expose Ruyun in front of others during the day. The royal secret guard, even a relative of the emperor like King Rui, cannot reveal anything. Only this night, I can fight for some time here for Ruyun in the name of staying up late and working overtime.

It's impossible for me to work overtime every day. If things go on like this, I will definitely be observed by someone who is interested. At that time, I don't know where the secret guard will be unveiled. Ruyun is the owner of Binzhirugui Building. She is also the secret manager of many wine shops, teahouses, and even Rouge Liuxiang and the Prime Minister's Mansion. She has appeared in this crowded place, and the people who come to these places , there are unknown people, and there are also many people who are rich and powerful.

These places are the source of intelligence. If Ruyun comes out of the water, the entire hidden intelligence will be exposed. At that time, everyone will be in danger, and the trust in the monarch will be completely destroyed.

Thinking about it this way, the young master's plan was a bit desperate, and it also got Ruyun Sayoko, who was very sorry.

"Sir, please use this meal first. Your body must be carefully taken care of now."

Okay, okay, Ruyun, do you know that I secretly brought you here, but you still wanted to bring me food.

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

Sayoko explained as she set out the bowls and chopsticks. He didn't feel the awkward air behind him at all. Ruyun's face turned red, so she turned around, picked up the account book and went to study it on her own. It's not good for me to stay here and make other girls feel uncomfortable. Then he took a snack and went out.

"Sir, please use these meals ... "

"Sayoko, I leave it all to you."

I ran away, but I didn't expect that there was someone guarding the door.

Qingshan was waiting in his carriage.
