The officials of the Ministry of Hubu heard that the new minister of the Ministry of Hubu was Pei Jiao. Everyone rushed to wait at the door of the public house of the Ministry of Household Affairs. So as not to make this ghost unhappy.

Entering the household office, Pei Jiaoran looked at the people in front of him with a kind face and said with a smile: "Good morning, everyone."

"Servant Pei." Everyone bowed in unison.

The current Minister of Household Affairs is away, and Pei Jiaoran is the leader of the Household Department.

After gathering his clothes and sitting down, Pei Jiaoran immediately brought over the account books that Bibu had collected. He also told everyone else to go about their business at hand and not to pay attention to her.

The clerk just came in carrying a stack of books that reached to the top of his head. Then a man came from the door menacingly, knocked the clerk to the ground, and even the books were scattered on the floor.

Looking up and catching a glimpse of the visitor's uniform, the clerk was startled and hurriedly knelt down to apologize. But the man didn't even look at him, he raised his foot and stepped directly over the threshold, and finally stepped on his hand hard.

Although the clerk was in pain, he did not dare to shout due to the identity of the visitor. He had to grit his teeth and kneel on the ground.

"Lieutenant Tian." Pei Jiaoran called out, looking up at the person coming.

Lieutenant Wen Yantian looked at her and sat down gracefully. The bright light armor on his body is quite eye-catching in the sunlight that sneaks in.

Pei Jiaoran stood up and walked to the door, squatting down and picking up the book with the clerk. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of the red and swollen clerk's left hand. He took the ointment from his sleeve pocket and handed it over.

"Even if you are in a weak state, you must take good care of yourself." Pei Jiaoran said warmly.

After hearing her words, the clerk was stunned. But before he could thank him, Pei Jiaoran quickly packed up all the books scattered on the floor and sent him down to apply for medicine and rest.

"Pour some tea for Lieutenant Tian." Pei Jiaoran stood up and said warmly.

The servants waiting outside the door heard the order and left. Not long after, he came back with tea. He carefully poured a cup of tea for Lieutenant Tian and stood aside with his head bowed.

He turned his head and glanced at the tea beside his hand. Lieutenant Tian took the tea and looked at it carefully, showing disgust on his face. He spat into the tea several times and stirred it with his fingers.

"Do you think this tea is drinkable? Is this how the Ministry of Finance treats guests?" Lieutenant Tian glanced at the servant who brought the tea, and said maliciously: "Come and drink this tea yourself and see if you can drink it. .How dare you use such tea to fool this lieutenant."

The servant was stunned for a moment and looked at Pei Jiaoran hesitantly. It seems that he doesn't know whether he should pick up the tea or should he quickly pick up the tea and get another cup.

While he was still hesitating, Lieutenant Tian was already looking at Pei Jiaoran with tea in his hand and sneered, "Why don't you try it yourself, Minister Pei?"

Ever since the last incident, the two of them had become inseparable. Now she has transformed into the Minister of Household Affairs. A year ago, he was a green-robed censor, and in the blink of an eye, he became a high-ranking official in Shenfei. I don’t know why His Majesty thinks so highly of her and leaves such a big matter as Duzhi to her. It’s really annoying.

Seeing that both the chief officer and the servants were silent, Lieutenant Tian suddenly became angry, raised his hand and threw the cup, turned around and left with a flourish of his sleeves.

"Lieutenant Tian, ​​are you leaving now?" Pei Jiaoran blocked his way with his arms crossed, the smile on his face deepening.

"What do you want?" Lieutenant Tian stared at her and said angrily.

Signaling the servant to close the door and leave, Pei Jiaoran sat down and looked at him with a smile, "There must be a reason why the lieutenant is here today, right?"

Lieutenant Wenwen Tian narrowed his eyes. He originally came here today to take the opportunity to beat Pei Jiaoran. Then he forced her to accept another account from the Shence Army, but she didn't expect that this guy would not get in, and wouldn't give her any face.

"Three months ago..."

As soon as he opened his mouth, Pei Jiaoran interrupted him and sighed, "I just came to the Ministry of Household Affairs to take over Duzhi, and there are still many things I don't know about. Lieutenant, why don't we talk about it in a few days? Not to mention that there seem to be many people in the Zuo Shence Army. , trapped in a deficit case."

"Pei Jiaoran!" Lieutenant Tian shouted.

Lieutenant Tian reached out to grab Pei Jiaoran's collar, but she grabbed her wrist instead. She applied force on her wrist and stared at Lieutenant Tian's face in pain with a smile on her face.

"Lieutenant Tian." Pei Jiaoran raised his eyebrows and said softly, "Next time you disrespect me, I can't guarantee whether you can keep your hand."

"Bitch..." As soon as the word "bitch" came out of his mouth, the strength in his hand became a little stronger. Lieutenant Tian instantly turned pale and hurriedly begged for mercy.

A smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and Pei Jiaoran let go of his hand. But his eyes still stopped on Lieutenant Tian's face.

Taking a deep breath, Lieutenant Tian left angrily. As soon as he left, people from the public room next to him started pouring out.

More than ten people from the household department immediately surrounded Pei Jiaoran. He looked at her with concern, but she just smiled. There is no embarrassment on his body.

Pei Jiaoran was not surprised at all by his admiration for the officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs.

There were people in the court who hated the eunuchs very much, and there were also people who colluded with the eunuchs for power, profited from them, and gained power, even sacrificing their daughters for glory. As for the superficial harmony, it is just a show, so as not to end up in a tragic relationship with the eunuch.

And she is the most special one among them. She doesn't care about the consequences of clinging to her eunuch. But she must use this move to establish her authority in front of everyone in the household department.

"Okay, what are you doing here?" Pei Jiaoran put his hands behind his hands and glanced at everyone, "Go and do your work. I have nothing to do."

All the officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs looked at her silently, and then they all bowed and bowed. Their household department is in charge of Duzhi, but they haven't been as tough as today for a long time.

Even the former Li Shilang had to lower his head when facing the eunuch. Not to mention that the previous minister and eunuch were like a nest of snakes and rats. This may be the benefit of having joined the Yushitai and being appointed to the Zhongshu Province by His Majesty. He has the confidence to do anything.

Everyone left one after another, and Pei Jiaoran's eyes fell on the little official whose hand was stepped on by Lieutenant Tian just now.

"Is your hand okay?" Pei Jiaoran smiled and asked with concern.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Pei. I have nothing to do with my resignation. Is it okay?" The clerk looked at her and said worriedly: "Aren't you afraid of offending Lieutenant Tian and suffering his revenge?"

Afraid? Why should she be afraid of him?

Pei Jiaoran raised his lips and smacked his lips lightly, "This is the public house of the 24th Department of Shangshu Province, the Ministry of Household Affairs. It's not his Shence Gongsha, so why should I be afraid of him?"

As if he was shocked by her words, the clerk lowered his head and said, "I will take your words to heart."

After listening to his words, Pei Jiaoran nodded. He turned around and returned to the minister's public room.

Her eyes fell on the broken porcelain on the ground, and the corners of her lips raised a slight arc.

With the tacit approval of Emperor Wei, Jianzhu had been in power for more than ten years, and he was arrogant and domineering.

But the virtue of a gentleman can only be cut off after five generations, let alone such an existence as eunuch?

"Sweep the floor clean." Pei Jiaoran ordered the servants outside. After thinking for a while, he said: "Go get a basin of water. It's too dirty."

After speaking, Pei Jiaoran walked to the window and pushed it open. The wind still blows in and disperses the stale air in the house.

The servant heard the order and quickly came back with water. Pei Jiaoran put his hand into the basin.

She washed her hands seriously, as if she wanted to wash away something.
