Things were getting out of control, and officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs were furious.
Chen Yan's popularity in the household department was not very good. It could even be said that he didn't even have a single close friend.
But he was still an official of the Ministry of Household Affairs, and even Wu Kan, who usually had the least dealings with Chen Yan, cursed him repeatedly.
This is the Household Department, where there are internal struggles, but once they face other government offices and external forces, they will abandon their past grudges and unite as one. No matter whether they are right or wrong, or whether they are right or wrong, they must maintain their will. He doesn't care about right or wrong, he can't let his own people suffer!
This situation is actually very common in other government agencies, of course, excluding the Ministry of Works.
But even though other government offices are extremely united in facing the outside world, none are as exaggerated as the Ministry of Revenue.
The official duties handled by the Ministry of Revenue on a daily basis are too special, that is, they are specifically designed to offend people. The accounts have been checked, but if the things within the scope of the duties are not checked clearly, the emperor will scold them, and if they find out something fishy, the officials will hate them.
Another is that Wei Changfeng has extremely strict requirements on the conduct of the Ministry of Household officials. They must not line their own pockets or use their power to oppress others. This also leads to the fact that they cannot make friends at all and can only handle everything in a business-like manner.
This also leads to the fact that the more officials hate the people in the Ministry of Household Affairs, the more ruthless others are, the more ruthless they will investigate. To put it simply, screw you, you all have to scold me anyway, so why not investigate and punish you!
Then it became like this. When everyone should fight among themselves, they should fight among themselves, but if others bully their colleagues, that’s not allowed!
Even though there are many bosses below fifth rank around, the people in Jingzhao Mansion really don't dare to do anything.
Because not everyone can be an official in the Ministry of Household Affairs. Basically, they are proficient in arithmetic and are highly sophisticated talents.
In addition, the boss of the household department is Wei Changfeng.
Among the six ministers, Wei Changfeng is the strongest, the most explosive, and the most unreasonable. It can be said that the other five ministers combined cannot defeat Wei Changfeng!
Sometimes, Wei Changfeng would stand guard at the entrance of the palace and do whatever he said. His quality was extremely low.
A few years ago, there was a new young official in the Ministry of Revenue who no longer wanted to work. He was under too much pressure. The people who were audited scolded him every day in the school. This guy's mental endurance was also very poor. The Ministry is looking for someone to change the government office.
Then Lao Wei went to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, grabbed the collar of the right minister's neck and told him that he would burn down the house of anyone who dared to approve this boy's "transfer application".
After going to the Ministry of Civil Affairs, Wei Changfeng directly arrested the officials who were targeted by the boy in his capacity as minister, euphemistically saying that he was absconding out of fear of crime.
There is a raging army and a raging group of generals. What kind of leader there is, there are what kind of subordinate officers.
Chu Qing was so excited to see it. He really didn't expect that these officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs were even more explosive than the Tao family farmers.
The officers of Jingzhao Mansion had their faces sprayed with spittle, and they were yelling and cursing outside the government office.
The officers and soldiers did not dare to push or push, let alone use knives. They were very helpless when they were gathered together.
Li Xunnan was obviously the leader, explaining something loudly and waving the documents in his hand, but no one cared about him at all.
The furious Li Xunnan finally couldn't help but push the head of the household department in front of him, and the result was that he was shocked.
The Ministry of Housing official who was pushed lay down on the ground, rolled his eyes, and said he couldn't get up.
Then...the yelling and cursing got louder.
Chu Qing was secretly disappointed, he thought everyone was going to take action.
But at this moment, Chu Qing discovered something.
Chen Yan was gone. Such a big living person was nowhere to be found? !
Li Xunnan was surrounded in the middle, looking back and forth. He probably realized that Chen Yan was missing, and his expression changed drastically.
"The criminal has run away. The criminal has run away. Sirs, please don't stop me. The criminal has run away."
He shouted several times in succession, but the Ministry of Revenue officials turned a deaf ear and became even more energetic. They held out their chests and did not make a move. They just pushed forward to prevent the men and horses of Jingzhao Mansion from moving.
Chu Qing, who was on the periphery, had sharp eyes. He was 100% sure that these officials from the Household Department had done it on purpose. Many of them were looking back while arching forward, as if they were also looking for Chen Yan.
It wasn't until several officials confirmed that Chen Yan had indeed disappeared without a trace that they dispersed with a few more curses.
Some people dispersed, others stopped making trouble, and walked back to the government office cursing as if nothing was wrong, leaving only twelve people from the Jingzhao Mansion whose faces were sprayed with saliva, messy in the wind.
Li Xunnan roared: "What are you still doing? The criminal has run away, hurry up and chase him!"
The twelve people dispersed in a hurry and ran in all directions.
Chu Qing hurriedly returned to the government office and saw all the officials from the Ministry of Revenue gathered together. They did not look as arrogant as they did outside just now, with sad expressions on their faces.
"My lords, this..."
The old boss who usually clicks the hair on weekdays came over and gave a wry smile: "Teacher Chu has just joined the household department not long ago. There are some things you don't know yet. This kind of thing happens from time to time."
"Ah?" Chu Qing was confused: "There is always someone coming to the Ministry of Finance to pick up people?"
"That's not true. It's that our Ministry of Revenue always offends people. I don't know how many of those officials who were dismissed, dismissed, or even executed because of our unselfishness and selflessness brought it upon themselves. It's because of this that we It is common for people in the Ministry of Household Affairs to be troubled and even falsely accused."
Wu Kan walked out and said angrily: "Chen Yan, that scholar who has no strength to tie a chicken, how can he have the courage to kill someone? Even if he had a few quarrels with others and his face turned red, he must have been framed."
Chu Qing was embarrassed to say anything.
Yes, I would get red-faced after quarreling with someone, and then get so angry that I would bully the loan shark.
The old boss was calm and explained: "Listen to what I said, there are military soldiers coming to Jingzhao Mansion. It must be a big case. I will wait here for Mr. Wei. Mr. Chu will teach you to make good friends with Chen Yan. You will leave the Yamen Office immediately." Go to Dali Temple and look for Shaoqing. Go to court every day. Dali Temple Qing and Shaoqing can go together alone. If you are lucky, Dali Temple Shaoqing Tao Shaozhang and Master Tao will be in the government office. He and Chen Yan are sworn friends. , tell him about this!"
Without any hesitation, Chu Qing nodded, bowed his hands to everyone, then ran out of the office, called Fu San, and hurried to Dali Temple.
At this time, in an alley around the corner, a man dressed as a scholar was secretly watching Chu Qing's back with a thoughtful look on his face.
This person is none other than Zhang Yun, who met Zhou Hu last night. He is also a counselor of the Li family, and his external identity is the third housekeeper of the Li family.
He had been guarding here when Jingzhao Mansion came to fetch people.
Not only did he witness everything just outside the government office, he even saw how Chen Yan "escaped", but it played into his hands, so he didn't tell Li Xunnan.
Instead of chasing Chu Qing, Zhang Yun quickly walked in the opposite direction and chased Chen Yan.
After arriving in Beishi, Zhang Yun finally found traces of Chen Yan.
At this time, Chen Yan had already taken off his official robe. What surprised Zhang Yun was that this guy was now wearing short clothes, just like ordinary people.
This means that this guy is not only wearing an official robe on a hot day, he is also wearing a set of regular clothes under the official robe, as if he knows to "disguise" at any time.
He didn't dare to pursue him too close for fear of being discovered, and also because there were too many people around.
But when he saw that Bei City was also the most crowded place, Chen Yan stopped, turned around, and smiled.
Zhang Yun had a look of horror on his face. The other party had long known that he was following him!
Instead of running away, Chen Yan walked over with a smile.
Zhang Yun turned his palm and grabbed a dagger in his hand.
Chen Yan stood half a meter away and cupped his hands: "What's your surname?"
Zhang Yun's face was expressionless: "A nobody, not worth mentioning."
Chen Yan sneered and looked past Zhang Yun to his back: "Do you think you can catch me with a dozen thugs?"
Zhang Yun was slightly startled and turned his head subconsciously.
Behind him, except for some common people, there was no one else.
Zhang Yun's heart thumped, and he turned around again, but what came his way was a handful of dust, which flew into his face.
"Fuck you!" Chen Yan flicked his vaginal foot, quickly and accurately, hitting Zhang Yun's crotch.
With a muffled groan, the blind Zhang Yun covered his crotch and fell to the ground like cooked shrimps, sucking in the cold air. The pain was so painful that his soul trembled.
The people around him screamed and retreated. Chen Yan disappeared again.
