When Pei Jiaoran had almost finished drafting the plan, Cui Xiancheng and Chief Gao also came back. He glanced at the dusty two people, motioned them to sit down, and called the servants to pour tea for them.

The warm fragrance of tea fills the room.

Looking at the tea soup in the cup, Cui Xiancheng praised: "The tea from Mingfu tastes really good."

Director Gao also echoed the praise.

"You two have worked hard on this trip. If you like it, how about I give you two cans later." Pei Jiaoran took a sip of tea with a kind smile on his lips, "Consider this as a thank you gift this time."

Cui Xian Cheng waved his hands hurriedly, "The Ming Dynasty has made serious remarks. This is a matter within the lower official's duties."

Pei Jiaoran smiled, but his eyes were expressionless. Although she likes sweets, she doesn't care about her appetite most of the time. Now that the county government is in the midst of hiring new people, she continues to be willing to hire them even though both of them had neglected their duties in the past. Naturally, he will not be stingy in giving small favors.

"Ming Mansion, I inspected the canals in various places in the city according to your instructions. I found that it is suitable to dig another canal near the East Branch Canal." Cui County Prime Minister handed the map to Pei Jiaoran.

Cui Xiancheng's idea coincided with hers, and Pei Jiaoran showed approval, "After the censor leaves, I will go with you to see the situation nearby."

"Eh? The imperial censor is coming soon. Is there anything I need your help with?" Master Gao said with a smile on his face, "The censor shouldn't be able to find anything."

"No. Master Gao is so brave. He actually dares to do something under the eyes of the censor."

The censor is already on the way, so he will do anything at this time. Wouldn't it be like throwing yourself into a trap? What's more, she is not wrong, so there is no need to fear the censor's inspection.

Chief Gao said in panic: "The Ming government has misunderstood, and the official has no such intention."

Glancing at the two of them, Pei Jiaoran sighed lightly. It seems that Cui County's Prime Minister can count on one or two things, and Chief Gao will have to keep a closer look. This person is too opportunistic.

Looking down at the map presented by Cui County Prime Minister, Pei Jiaoran's eyes showed appreciation. Although the map in my hand is rough in workmanship, it has been carefully marked out on how to dig ditches and which direction can best irrigate the fields.

Pull out the plan you made and compare it with the map in front of you. Pei Jiaoran nodded.

"Cui County Cheng did a good job." Pei Jiaoran said warmly.

"The Ming Dynasty has been overly praised." Cui Xiancheng smiled, "If it weren't for the Ming Dynasty's planning, how could I have accomplished this?"

Several people flattered each other. They are all veterans in the officialdom, and the atmosphere was not so dull for a while.

As the dusk grew darker, Pei Jiaoran became more and more kind-hearted.

"Okay. It's getting late, you two should go back and have a rest." Pei Jiaoran smiled and smiled.

"Yes, I am resigning."

After seeing the two people off, Pei Jiaoran put away the map and plan. Walking to the window, he put his hands behind his hands and looked at the sky where the afterglow had faded. He rubbed his eyebrows and sighed.

After standing for a while, Pei Jiaoran ordered his servants to go to the public room and bring Chu You's unfinished official documents for review. It wasn't until she was very hungry that she went to the kitchen to cook a bowl of braised noodles.

When the servants came in to remove the bowls and chopsticks, Pei Jiaoran was still sitting in front of the desk, reviewing the official documents of the county, and said with concern: "Mingfu, you should also take a rest. You haven't stopped since you came back. How can you be like this?"

"Spring plowing is around the corner, and many things have been prepared in advance." Pei Jiaoran smiled and waved his hand, "Go and rest, I'm fine."

By the time Pei Jiaoran finished handling the affairs at hand, it was almost time.

After hastily washing up, she dragged her tired body to the bed and closed her eyes to sleep.

After sleeping for a few hours, the skylight fell on me again. Pei Jiaoran opened his eyes and looked at the light leaking on the case. He rubbed his groggy head, got up, washed up, and put on official clothes.

Just as he was preparing to eat the meal, a servant came to deliver a message. It was said that the censor had arrived, and the governor invited her to go to the state house.

Hearing this, Pei Jiaoran put down his chopsticks and took a deep breath, "I understand."

After packing up again, we headed to the Governor's Mansion.

It was a coincidence that she came just in time to catch up with Zhou Xie to entertain the censor. However, today's meal in Zhouxie was not considered rich. Perhaps because of the censor's surprise attack, Zhouxie did not dare to be extravagant and wasteful. In addition, there are regulations in this dynasty, and the censor must not touch meat when he visits various places. Violators will be dealt with according to the law.

With the censor present, everything in the state must be done according to the rules. Otherwise, the Yushitai might use this to impeach you.

After saluting, Pei Jiaoran walked to his seat and sat down. She frowned, she never expected that Yushitai would send him.

Everyone is afraid of the censor. They all ate without saying a word, and they didn't dare to make any inappropriate sound. They were even careful when bumping the dishes.

Pei Jiaoran frowned as he sipped the sesame porridge from the bowl. After drinking the porridge, I felt much warmer.

After the meal, the servants came in quickly and removed the dishes.

All the officials and assistants in the state looked reserved, waiting for the censor to speak. Only Pei Jiaoran and Li Xiujing looked calm.

The censor first on the right looked at Li Xiujing and nodded to him.

Li Xiujing nodded, "Pei Ming Mansion will stay, and everyone will go back to their respective apartments."

After receiving the order, everyone stepped forward one by one to salute and say goodbye. Then walk away.

There were only three of them left in the house.

After looking at the two of them, Pei Jiaoran lowered his head and looked at the table.

"Li Qishi, let's talk somewhere else," the censor said.

Hearing this, Li Xiujing made an invitation gesture and invited the two of them to his study to talk.

Li Xiujing led the way. Pei Jiaoran and the censor followed him.

After entering the house, Li Xiujing called the servants to serve tea to the three of them.

"The Censor's Office has received a report. Jinchang County Lieutenant Li Qian was derelict in his duties and was corrupt. Does the Pei Ming Mansion know about it?" The Censor took a sip of tea and said slowly.

"Huiyuan Censor, it was Li Qian who made the accusation." Pei Jiaoran took the letter from his sleeve and handed it over, "It was Li Qian who was ineffective in supervising the people. He knew he was wrong, so he is now submitting a letter of guilt. One letter."

Yuan Yushi frowned. Looking at Pei Jiaoran, who looked calm and calm in front of him, he silently opened the book in his hand.

In a first-hand pavilion style, he stated his dereliction of duty regarding Li Qian. The words were sincere, and there was a look of sincere admission of mistakes between the lines.

He really couldn't find anything wrong with this letter of sin. He bet that even if they were sent back to the Yushitai, those people would not be able to make a mistake.

Putting down the book of guilt in his hand, Yuan Yushi glanced at Li Xiujing and then turned his eyes to Pei Jiaoran's head. There must be something fishy between these two people.

"Prince Li, can you go out for a while? I have something to say to the Pei Ming Mansion." Yuan Yushi said with a smile.

"Yuan Yushi, what do you want to do?" Li Xiujing stared at the person in front of her as if facing a formidable enemy, "She is the county magistrate under my rule, why can't I be present?"

"The censor is asking routine questions, and irrelevant people are not allowed to be present." Censor Yuan answered seriously.

Pei Jiaoran lowered his head and stroked his sleeves, shaking his head. I thought to myself: "Why did Yushitai send this idiot?"

After looking at Pei Jiaoran who looked calm, Li Xiujing glared at Yuan Yushi and reluctantly opened the door and left.
