"Old dog Qin? What are you doing?" Is the door of the teahouse a decoration? Do you need to go through the window to drink tea?

Qin Mufeng walked over with an indifferent expression and poured himself a cup of hot tea like no one else.

A set of movements that are smooth and flowing, showing a cool and noble air while still being pleasing to the eye.

Mu Bai saw some traces of dust on the hem of his robe, and teased him with a smile: "Did you just become a thief?"

"……Um."

"ha?"

"No, you admitted it? Did you hear what I said clearly? You just said yes." Mu Bai's eyes widened in shock, looking like he was in disbelief.

Qin Mufeng calmly drank a sip of hot tea, feeling warm in his chest, and his fast heartbeat slowly returned to normal.

He put down the tea bowl under Mu Bai's gaze that was partly puzzled, partly incredulous, and partly self-doubtful.

"If you are deaf, go to Dr. Long. If you are blind, go to Dr. Ming. If there is no problem, just talk about business."

Listen to what people say?

Mu Bai was half choked by his words and quickly drank a glass of water to calm down.

Qin Mufeng rarely compromised under his offensive look of "Can you be a human being?"

"ask."

"...I said you really became a thief just now? As the old saying goes, a good thief never leaves empty-handed. Where are your results? Take it out and let me see." The treasure that makes you Qin Laogou not hesitate to become a thief to get your hands on it.

, I have to take a good look.

"No. Let's get down to business. Can the Xuzhou case be confirmed to be true or false?"

"What do you mean not? You don't want to show me, do you? Or are you no longer brothers?"

"..." Qin Mufeng was so noisy that he had a headache: "...No, I was caught by mistake."

"How is it possible? How can it be possible with your skills?!"

"I was eavesdropping on the roof and accidentally made some noise, which was discovered by King Chen. Do you have any objections?"

Mu Bai was stunned for a moment after hearing this.

"...No, no more." Isn't it true that he has a broken sleeve?

Brothers who have been growing up, they know each other's virtues very well, and Qin Mufeng knew from the look in his eyes that he didn't hold it in well.

"I advise you to quickly pour out the useless shit in your head and pour it out for me."

"...How to speak?" What's in your head is shit.

"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, why don't I tell you business?"

Qin Mufeng silently withdrew his eye knife.

"The case of missing children in Xuzhou is probably very problematic."

"How to say?"

Not long ago, Anlong passed through Xuzhou and found that people often reported missing children.

Originally it was not a big deal, but the worst thing is that human traffickers are rampant. The strange thing is that the person who reported the crime reported the crime first, and then closed the case later.

An Long felt that something was fishy, ​​so he sent a secret message to Qin Mufeng to report the abnormality.

There happened to be a good brother in the circle of Lord Mubai II who was dawdling in the Ministry of Punishment, so Qin Mufeng just made the best use of it.

In order to complete the tasks given to him by Qin Mufeng these days, he has been fooling around with each other a lot. He just drank with him countless times, and of course the results were quite remarkable.

"I took a peek at the case file sent by the government. According to the records in it, I can see that the missing person records are almost all copied from the same model, with only one exception."

Qin Mufeng's hand on the tea bowl was tapping casually. Hearing this, he raised his eyelids and glanced at him: "What's the exception?"

"The child died. The closing statement stated that he accidentally fell into the water and drowned."

"What's so strange about this?"

"Listen to what I have to say!"

"The strange thing is that there is a note on it. It probably means that the parents at home couldn't bear the shock and left together, so the column for claiming the body is empty and no one signed."

Qin Mufeng's handsome eyebrows frowned, and his eyes became visibly serious.

"Do you suspect there is something wrong with the Xuzhou prefect?"

"Is it okay? I think there's a big problem here. Don't tell me you can't see the depth of the water here?"

Qin Mufeng glanced at him and didn't answer. Instead, he asked an irrelevant question.

"I remember that last time the Holy Father asked all localities to pay back the taxes owed to the Ministry of Household Affairs. Xuzhou has been defaulting on the payment due to disasters, right?"

"yes."

"Wait a minute! Mu Feng, don't you want to investigate it yourself?"

"The border is not peaceful, and there will be a battle between Liu Ying and Han Da. If we don't take advantage of the peace to recover the money owed to the Ministry of Revenue from various places now, we will be in trouble when the war comes."

Yes! He just asked a redundant question.

The next day...

In the morning meeting at the main hall, Murong Hai, the Minister of Rites, proposed to renovate the Yongshou Hall in the name of the Empress Dowager's birthday.

The Kingdom of Liuying claims to govern the country with filial piety, and Murong Hai's proposal is reasonable and reasonable.

The Emperor Chu Qin readily agreed and ordered Murong Hai to work with the Minister of Industry and Commerce to consolidate the required resources and budget, and jointly submit the report to the Ministry of Household Affairs, who would then review it and allocate the required money.

As soon as Chu Qin finished speaking above, the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue hurriedly stood up.

Tie Hongji gritted his teeth and said with a face of embarrassment: "Your Majesty, the people in various provinces suffered from natural disasters the year before last year. Your Majesty mercifully reduced the taxes of the state capitals in the disaster-stricken areas.

However, there are still many places that have not paid their tax arrears for a long time. Now that the national treasury is not rich, I may not be able to..."

As soon as Tie Hongji finished speaking, Shi Kelang, the Minister of Civil Service, jumped out at the look of the third prince.

"Tie Hongji, it's okay for you to be so impatient and like an iron rooster. Now that the Queen Mother's birthday is coming, the Holy One just wants to repair the Yongshou Palace to show his filial piety, but you are pushing back and forth. What are you thinking about?"

Xingxing, the Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, also followed suit: "That's right, the provinces were indeed severely affected by the disaster last year, but you, the Ministry of Revenue, can't even come up with this little money, right?"

Su Chengfeng, the imperial censor, was not to be outdone and said: "Your Majesty, I suggest that the Supervisory Yuan conduct a thorough investigation into the corruption of officials in the government."

Tie Hongji immediately became anxious upon hearing this, and immediately started quarreling with him despite the fact that the Holy Emperor was still in the main hall.

"Su Chengfeng, what do you mean by this? You don't break the law by talking, but you can fart without restraint, right?"

"Your Majesty, it is my duty as an official to give advice. Tie Hongji humiliated and slandered me. Please make the decision for me!"

Tie Hongji's face turned red with anger, and he pointed at his nose and yelled: "You old man who confuses right and wrong, why don't you complain first? Do you dare to say that you were not insinuating that I am greedy?"

"If you are upright, you are not afraid of a slanting shadow. If you are not greedy or possessive, why would you be afraid of investigation?"

Chu Qin saw that the morning meeting had turned into a mess, and the noise was as noisy as a vegetable market. He couldn't help but shouted angrily: "That's enough! Look what you all look like? This is the morning meeting hall, not a vegetable market? Is there anything left?

The consciousness and rules of being a courtier?"

The Holy One was angry, and everyone fell silent for a moment. The thick-necked and blushing person who had been arguing just now shut up for a second, for fear of accidentally being the one who stood out.

Chu Qin looked at the main hall that had regained its solemnity and quietness and relaxed his eyebrows with satisfaction.

"Yue'er, what do you think?"
