Chapter 498: something is wrong
Chapter 498 Something is wrong
Imperial Palace.
Six Offices.
The book offices of the six departments of the Ministry of Officials, Libing, Criminal Work, etc. are all centralized here.
Everyone sat comfortably in their seats, with documents on the table and a cup of tea in their hands. Their leisurely attitude was like that of a retired old man sitting under a big tree in the yard enjoying the cool.
Pei Yi sat in her seat, holding a pen and lowering her head to write the official document from her boss.
Her appearance of scribbling is really incompatible with the lazy and leisurely surroundings.
The book office of a household department next to it joked: "Our Master Pei is really a model of the Six Departments."
Even if the words are not meant to be sarcastic, they are still a bit uncomfortable.
Pei Yi had no choice but to put down the pen in her hand, and said with a light smile, "I'm afraid of being scolded by my superiors. The sooner I finish it, the sooner it will be easier."
"You don't understand now." The secretary of the Ministry of Finance kept his buttocks on the bench, held the edge of the bench with both hands, moved his feet quickly, and quickly moved to Pei Yi's side. It is to urge us to finish it quickly, but if you rush to finish it for him, he can arrange new things for you immediately, and you obviously rushed a file according to his request, hey, they will put it aside for you , don’t even look at it.”
Although Pei Yi had heard about this kind of situation, she was still surprised when she heard the person say such a thing.
She was a little surprised and said: "It's not possible. Since Shangfeng is in a hurry, it must be something urgent."
"Hey, that's not the case." A secretary of the Ministry of Rites next to him was holding a teacup, with piercing eyes, and said with a leisurely smile, "I went to the peak to show that I have great energy. Keep urging you to do things quickly, otherwise how can he show that he can control you? Hey..."
He sighed faintly, glanced outside the palace door, and made sure that there were no important figures coming recently, then leaned slightly in Pei Yi's direction, and said in a low voice: "The documents requested by Shangfeng, eight out of ten are all used. No. To put it bluntly, they just don’t want you to be idle, so they arrange things for you.”
Pei Yi really didn't expect that the internal administration of Da Zhou would be so loose and slack.
She closed the unfinished file and said with a mocking smile: "So, I have to take a good rest first."
"Isn't it?" The Secretary of the Ministry of War on the side also laughed, "The faster you do it, the more work you do. The slower you do it, the less work you do. Anyway, Shangfeng just wants us to have something to do every day." , you just do one job for a day, and Shangfeng has no reason to say anything about you."
Pei Yi smiled inexplicably, nodded and seemed to agree: "Li Erlang, you are right."
A group of people had a great time, and they talked about whose tea tasted better, where new tea was served, and who drank tea the most.
A group of officials even talked about it during their duty, and discussed the tea scriptures.
Pei Yi looked at this scene with cold eyes, and her heart was racing.
The villain in her heart silently rolled her eyes, raised her head to support her forehead, and stared at the sky speechlessly.
This situation made Pei Yi feel very uncomfortable. She stood up and walked to the window to get some air.
As a result, at this moment, she saw a little **** poking his head at the entrance of the hall.
Pei Yi knew this little eunuch, and Xun Huan usually called this little **** to pass her a message.
She looked back at the adults who were still happily discussing the tea scriptures, then she walked to the door with a face full of helplessness, and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?"
The little **** lowered his voice and reported calmly: "The Governor of Jingzhao has caught a new spy, and that spy slanders the adult as a woman."
Pei Yi's pupils shrank suddenly, and her expression relaxed after a moment of sullenness, she nodded and said, "I see."
She took out a piece of silver from her purse and handed it to the little eunuch, and said calmly, "Thank you, Eunuch."
The little **** shook his head and refused to accept it, and said honestly: "Xun Sijie has already given me money. I can't accept money from adults."
Pei Yi thought the little **** was quite interesting, and asked with a smile, "I don't know what to call your father-in-law?"
Although the little **** also came to send messages to her before, but it was just a few moments, and she didn't ask the little eunuch's name.
The little **** naturally understood the change in attitude, and said very respectfully: "My surname is Gao, and my name is Xiangde. There is no character. Just call me Xiao Dezi."
Pei Yi did not follow his words, but said: "Courtesy cannot be broken. Eunuch Gao, I will rely on you a lot in the future."
Eunuch Gao was very happy, knowing that he was going to be reused, so he immediately agreed with joy.
Pei Yi sent Eunuch Gao away, and then turned back to her seat, all she could think about was the news that Eunuch Gao just brought.
Someone even said she was a woman.
Is it because her daughter's body has been exposed in front of some people, or is it because someone is deliberately releasing smoke bombs to test her?
If it's just a temptation, then everything is easy to say.
But if it has already been exposed, it will be another plan entirely.
Pei Yi was full of thought.
Her appearance is quite different in the eyes of the adults in the room.
The Secretary of the Ministry of Officials sat closest to her and had the hottest chat with her just now. At this moment, he was the first to take the lead in teasing: "Why, someone caught Xun Sijie stealing incense and jade?"
The secretaries of the Six Offices all knew that the little **** was the one who sent messages to Pei Yi, and every time it must be related to Xun Huan.
They didn't think that Pei Yi was conspiring with Xun Huan, it was all done too aboveboard, and Pei Yi had a reputation for flirtatiousness.
After going back and forth like this, the secretary in the office couldn't help but feel that the little **** was responsible for helping Pei Yi and Xun Huan pass on the love words.
Pei Yi heard the question from the Secretary of the Ministry of Officials, she just shook her head with a wry smile, but she didn't say what it was.
The more she frowns, the more everyone feels that their guess is solid.
The Secretary of the Criminal Ministry, who had not talked to her very much, took the initiative to comfort her at this time and said: "Master Pei, this matter should be taken care of. Between 'friends', the most important thing is to treat each other with sincerity. If you keep thinking To ask him to be loyal only to the 'friendship' between the two of you is to add to his own distress."
As soon as he said this, a book office next to him laughed and booed: "Oh, Mr. Sun is showing his own experience. People who come here are different. This kind of open-mindedness and broad vision is really a role model for everyone to learn from." .”
The secretary of the Ministry of Criminal Justice was not angry, but just gave the booing secretary a half-anger look, shook his head with a smile, and didn't reply.
Pei Yi took a second look at the secretary of the Ministry of Punishment, and couldn't help feeling a little more complicated.
It has long been heard that masculinity is prevalent in the upper circles of Dazhou. Now that I am in this atmosphere, I know how serious this atmosphere is.
During the duty period, he publicly teased about men's affairs, I'm afraid it was the only one in the officialdom of Da Zhou.
