After rebirth, I joined forces with my mortal enemy to seek revenge.

The scribe from the Hube Duzhi Division on the side listened to her words. Then he looked at Wai Lang, a member of the household branch, and saw that he nodded. Then he went to the public room to get the account book and handed it to Pei Jiaoran with both hands.

Take the account book. Pei Jiaoran looked at Xia Houzhen and Yuan Wailang with a smile, and opened the account book under the different eyes around them.

Like Yanziku, detailed records were kept in the accounts of the Ministry of Accounts and the Salt and Iron Department. Taken together, it is exactly the same as what Yan Ziku recorded, and there is no mistake.

"After checking the account books, there are no errors. However..." Pei Jiaoran stopped on his lips and looked at Xia Houzhen meaningfully, "There seem to be omissions in the account books provided by Yanziku, the Ministry of Accounts and the Salt and Iron Department."

As soon as he said this, the expressions of Xia Houzhen, the officials from the Ministry of Revenue and the Salt and Iron Department all changed.

Looking at the changes in the expressions of the three of them, Pei Jiaoran's eyes showed coldness.

The three companies compete for profit and use all possible means to seize wealth from each other. In particular, Yanziku once submitted a petition to Yanshang on the grounds that the Ministry of Revenue had accumulated a lot of debt, and requested that the 80 yuan collected by the Ministry of Revenue be cut off to 15 yuan for Yanziku.

Of course, this matter was eventually rejected by the Ministry of Revenue with a strong attitude, and they gritted their teeth and paid off the money owed to the Yantai Treasury within one year.

From the current point of view, I am afraid that Yan Zikuo will be instigated by others and target the taxes under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Household Affairs. As long as the Ministry of Household Affairs does not pay back the money, Yanziku can ask the Ministry of Household Affairs to cut fifteen cents from the Momomomomoney to them.

On the surface, it has indeed reduced the burden on the Ministry of Household Affairs, but in fact, the people behind it have extended their hands to taxation in other names.

There is currently no war on the border, and the towns in Heshuo are quite peaceful and defensive. Although Yanziku was not rich, it was by no means short of money.

The idea of ​​Yanziku is to change the quota into a share. This is basically a loss for the Ministry of Household Affairs. Once they suffer a loss, Zuo Zangku cannot store it, and they can only add more drawings on top of the Mo Qian.

But for the common people, this is a bad thing.

"Does Pei Shiyu have evidence? If there is no evidence, please don't slander him." Xia Houzhen said dissatisfied.

Pei Jiaoran smiled when he heard this, "If there are any mistakes or omissions, let someone from Bibu come and find out."

"August is coming soon. Does Pei Shiyu have to cause trouble at this time?" Xia Houzhen narrowed her eyes and spoke coldly.

"Since everyone has determined that there is something wrong with the account books, why can't the Yushitai deal with it impartially?" After receiving the tea from the palace attendant, Pei Jiaoran opened his lips and blew away the fog on it, took a sip of the tea, and said slowly: "It can't be done. Since the capital is about to be drawn up, why don't we just let the traitors do whatever they want and disrupt the rules of our court?"

Even though Xia Houzhen's job is Tongping Zhangshi, the Minister of War, he has the title of deputy envoy of Yanziku. Not to mention the prime minister's power, his official rank is much higher than Pei Jiaoran. But despite her status as a censor, she was able to control him.

No matter how dissatisfied he is now, he can only endure it. To avoid being caught by the Yushitai.

After receiving Pei Jiaoran's instructions, the servant guarding the door immediately went to Bibu's public house and invited Su Zhi's officials over.

Bibu's vitality has been severely damaged since he was impeached by Pei Jiaoran through the list given by Sun Dun. Nowadays, many places are short of people. The person on duty tonight is a bookkeeper in his thirties named Lu.

The chief register is below a few people. As soon as Chief Lu came in, he bowed quite cautiously.

"Today I took the liberty of looking for Master Lu's account book because there were differences in the account books between the Ministry of Revenue, Yantie and Yanziku. That's why I specially asked Bibu to check it, so as not to hurt the harmony of the three divisions. If there is really any flaw, the censor will Taiwan should handle it fairly." Pei Jiaoran said with a gentle smile.

Hearing this, Chief Lu frowned, glanced at the account book held by the clerk from the Ministry of Revenue, and bowed his head.

Seeing Chief Lu taking the account books and leaving, Xia Houzhen looked unkind and said, "Pei Jiaoran, you neither reported this matter to the Yushitai nor to the Political Affairs Hall. What on earth do you want to do?"

"Don't worry, Minister Xiahou. I will report this matter to Taiwan Master Cui and the Political Affairs Hall later." Pei Jiaoran smiled, but his eyes were so cold that it made people tremble.

Xia Houzhen's eyes showed disgust, but he couldn't do anything to Pei Jiaoran. After taking a deep breath, he walked away with all the officials from Yanziku.

The staff of the Ministry of Revenue and the Salt and Iron Department looked at each other in disbelief and turned to look at Pei Jiaoran.

Sensing everyone's gaze, Pei Jiaoran stroked his sleeves with both hands.

"It's getting late, please take a rest early. Pei will leave first." Pei Jiaoran smiled and left.

Although it was said that supervising the household department was an important matter, the imperial court did not stipulate that Yushitai should accompany them around the clock. After arranging for the officials to take turns to change their posts and keep an eye on it, Pei Jiaoran returned to the Yushitai to rest. Come back tomorrow morning.

As soon as it dawned, Pei Jiaoran got up. The written document was written first and handed over to Wei Taiduan.

After reading the document she submitted with a frown, Wei Taiduan squinted his eyes with deep meaning, "When did you write this document?"

"Last night. The incident happened suddenly. I didn't have time to inform you and your husbands, so I took the decision without permission and ordered Bibu to check the accounts of the third division." Pei Jiaoran lowered his head and said respectfully.

She acted like she had no choice but to kill first and then show off.

Wei Taiduan frowned deeper.

"In this case, you have to urge Bibu to find out where the mistakes are as soon as possible." Wei Taiduan's eyes turned to her and his tone was low, "Qingjia, I know you are quite capable. But here Offending too many people in the bureau will not be good for you."

Pei Jiaoran looked at his nose with concern, and frowned, "Thank you very much for your teaching. I will keep it in my heart."

Her face was submissive and gentle, but it made people wonder where to start.

"By the way. Wang Xianggong sent me to ask you before, are you very close to Li Xiujing? His term of office is approaching, where do you think he is suitable for transfer?"

Pei Jiaoran frowned and pursed his lips unconsciously. She sighed: "He is a junior officer and a senior minister, and he doesn't have many close friendships. If we really want to talk about friendship, I'm afraid it's not as good as Yuan Shiyu." She said with doubts in her eyes: "Don't Wei Taiduan know that he and Yuan Shiyu Were we classmates before? It's best to ask Yuan Shiyu about this."

Pei Jiaoran's dark eyelashes hid the strange color in her eyes. She didn't know why the two parties suddenly became interested in the relationship between Li Xiujing and her. Generate interest.

But rather than pushing Li Xiujing to Wang Yu's command, she was more willing to let him be on the same side as her. Only in this way can we make better use of him for profit.

Looking up, he saw the disappointment flashing across Wei Taiduan's eyes, and Pei Jiaoran curled his lips.

"Since you have asked the Ministry of Biology to coordinate and review this matter, let's continue with your idea." After putting the document away, Wei Tai said: "I will submit this document to the Minister of Finance for you. But the summer tax has just been collected. Come up, the August accounts are coming soon. It won't be of any use to you if the matter has escalated so far, so don't make it difficult for Yan Ziku to handle it."

Hearing the implication of Wei Taiduan's words, Pei Jiaoran did not expose him, but just nodded, "Don't worry, I have a sense of discretion."

Although his implication is that he should fulfill his duties as censor by himself and not get involved in the struggle for profit among the three divisions. But where the fire will burn is not up to you.

"Go back to the household department and keep an eye on it. Send someone else to inform Yuan Yan and ask him to go back to the Yushitai."

"Here."
