Live together with Qing

"Master Cheng's official seal is missing?"

Wei Changsheng was a little dazed when he first heard the news. During this period of time, there were so many documents. Mr. Cheng and his official seal became the object of competition among various ministries. The next time, the four departments of the subordinates specially arranged for people to stay at the gate, and when they saw Mr. Cheng's sedan chair, they immediately reported it.

During this process, Wei Changsheng used a bit of ingenuity, and the little birds he sent out figured out the course of action of Mr. Cheng, and they were always able to block Mr. Cheng at the door one step ahead of his colleagues.

Every time he sees an adult, he will show a bright smile, bend over, and offer his hands. At this time, an adult will say coquettishly, you little cunning, and then take off the official seal and hand it to him, making him so angry A team of staff blows their beards and stares.

Also because of this, several things that Wei Changsheng was in charge of were carried out quite smoothly.

As a result, the news from the palace today said that the official seal of Mr. Cheng was lost?The old man couldn't sleep or eat, closed his door and thought about his mistakes, he read his own book in the court hall, it was rare that even Murong Duan didn't make trouble this time, he received the imperial edict together with the Minister of Justice and began to search for a seal.

The large seal of the Yizhi Shangshu is made of pure gold, with a wide border. The nine-fold seal script in Zhu Wen is "the seal of Yizhi", the back is cast with a rectangular straight button, and the left side of the button is chiseled "made by the Ministry of Rites". If it is completed, it will take more than a month at the fastest to work on another one of the same kind.

During the period when the official seal was lost, Yizhi had to go to the palace to borrow the emperor's jade plate, but every time Yizhi Shangshu had to bring the documents that needed to be stamped into the palace in person, and the hand-sealed civil official appointed by the emperor watched Yizhi Shangshu stamp it with his own hands. Put on the jade plate, and after completing the recording, immediately take the jade plate back.

How much time will it take to come and go!

Not to mention that there are a lot of complicated official documents in the routine work of Yizhi, not to mention that there are often urgent documents during this special period, Mr. Cheng will never be embarrassed to go to the palace several times a day to see the faces of civil servants.

Wei Changsheng's eyes darkened, it's over, why didn't he expect this to happen, now the estimated completion time may be in jeopardy.

"Changsheng, the judiciary summoned you to investigate in the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment." His colleague Wang Muren trotted all the way to report the news. He and Wei Changsheng had the best time on weekdays, and they were relatively close.

"Me?" Wei Changsheng fell into the clouds and asked casually, "Have everyone gone?"

"No, I'll call you." Wang Muren wiped the sweat from his forehead. He was slightly fat and had a dark complexion, but he was honest and popular.Wei Changsheng simply pretended not to know that his aunt was Chen Shilang's cousin.

Just looking for me?Wei Changsheng was stunned for a moment, recalled his itinerary for the day, made sure that there was no braid that could be caught, so he asked Wang Muren to go directly to the yamen of the Ministry of Punishment.

If he knew what would happen next, he would definitely blame himself for not paying attention and eating two extra bowls of rice at noon.

"You are Wei Changsheng?" Guan Ting, the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Punishment, was a black and thin middle-aged man with a broad forehead, a tall nose with a hook, and looked a little unfriendly.He used to perform quite well in the Ministry of War, and was recommended by Murong Duan to the Shangshu of the Judiciary, and then sent to the Ministry of Punishment. He solved several difficult and serious cases as soon as he arrived, and gradually emerged, all the way to the position of deputy minister.Right now, the position of servant of the Ministry of Criminal Justice is vacant, and he is in charge of investigating the case of Yizhi's loss of seal, and the emperor appointed Murong Duan to supervise the handling of the case.

"I'm Wei Changsheng." Wei Changsheng stood respectfully under the hall, bowed his hands and saluted, and when he saluted Murong Duan, he deliberately covered his face with his sleeve, not wanting to see that annoying face, and then I couldn't help but take a peek from the gap in the sleeve, just one glance, my heart beat so fast that I even despised it.

It's okay, what's the matter with being so handsome!

Wei Changsheng himself has no rank and doesn't need to go to court, so he hasn't seen Murong Duan for a long time.Hearing that his own elder sister Murong Jin was betrothed to the current crown prince, it not only honored the Murong family's lintel, but also illuminated Murong Duan's official career.

Seeing Murong Duan's high-spirited look, Wei Changsheng got angry, thinking in his heart, if he knew he would see him today, why didn't he put on a mask last night, and now he is ashamed, he must be secretly laughing at him.

Murong Duan looked at Wei Changsheng, who hadn't seen him for a few months, the Pianpian boy became more upright and handsome, his speech and demeanor faded away, free and unrestrained, standing there shining like a gem.

"Where did you go yesterday, please tell me in detail." According to the size of the official position, the official assistant minister was originally waiting for Murong Duan to say a few words, but the latter just shook his head slightly to himself, indicating that he could start asking questions.

Where did you go yesterday?Wei Changsheng felt vigilant when he couldn't understand it. After thinking about it carefully, he explained it eloquently.

"I work as a guest catering during the day, and my colleagues can testify for me. I haven't left Yizhi for half a step. In the evening, I drank some wine with some friends, and I was in Taohuawu..." When he said this, he suddenly felt a little guilty. He took a quick look at Murong Duan, but found that Murong Duan's eyes were not looking at him at all. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief, but felt a little entangled.

Taohuawu is a place where flowers and wine are drunk, this place was found by Wang Muren, who said that he knew the boss and could get a discount on drinking, anyway, he didn't want girls, so why not spend less money.

"Ahem." The Deputy Minister couldn't help interrupting him. Court officials were clearly not allowed to go to Huajie and Liuxiang, but this was just a superficial rule. As long as no one reported and no troubles occurred, the Ministry of Criminal Affairs wouldn't bother to investigate.

"You're going to drink, are there any witnesses?" Murong Duan finally opened his mouth.

"Uh, yes, my colleague Wang Muren can testify, and two of his friends are also with him, whose names I don't remember." Wei Changsheng felt like he was breaking the can.

"How long have you been drinking?" Hearing Murong Duan's pressing question, Guan Ting suddenly felt the chill beside him, and couldn't help shivering. This silly boy insisted on admitting the violation with his own mouth, and he didn't even look at who was sitting in the hall. Now it's okay to be less punished.

The court itself started from the grassroots, and would always be more tolerant towards new colleagues with no background. In addition, he had heard a lot of comments about Wei Changsheng.

"Drink until Haishi..." Wei Changsheng frowned, "Maybe later, anyway, the rooster just crowed when we returned."

"You have been with those people all the time, and you haven't separated halfway?" Guan Ting took over the conversation and continued to ask. The drinking time is indeed long enough. If Wei Changsheng's words are true, there is no suspicion.

"I drank a drink, and I don't remember much about it later, but when I woke up, they were still sleeping, and I went back to the hotel by myself."

Guan Ting suddenly had an itchy nose, covered his face and sneezed. "You live in a hotel? There is no fixed residence in the capital?"

"I haven't had time to look for it yet..." Wei Changsheng smiled helplessly. Since he entered Yizhi, he basically has no free time, and he hasn't even visited the capital much. Where did he find the time to find a house.

"I don't have time to look for a house, but I have time to drink flower wine?" Murong Duan's voice was full of turmoil, ready to explode.

Wei Changsheng didn't know whether he should be angry or ignore it. Who was going to interrogate him?

"Master Shi Lang, Lord Shang Shu, do I want to answer this question?"

The court admired Wei Changsheng for ignoring the word "deputy", but this question, he turned his head and glanced at Murong Duan, this lord's face was like burnt charcoal.

"Master Shangshu, this question is very important, you must answer it."

The official level crushes people to death.I endure.Wei Changsheng snorted.

"I'm too busy these days, and I spend most of my time living in the Ministry. The hotel can be settled on a daily basis, which is more economical, and..." He looked directly at Murong Duan's eyes, his bright eyes cut water, revealing a coldness. "After the ceremony, I will go back to my hometown to observe the funeral, and I won't have time to deal with the affairs of the house."

Lao Tzu's parents are dead, you, a rich son, should be satisfied.Wei Changsheng gritted his teeth.

The court was a little stunned that Wei Changsheng was so frank.Regarding the death of his parents, the court also knew about it. He saw Murong Duan and Cheng Li argue with his own eyes in the court that day. In his words, Murong Duan was quite contemptuous of Wei Changsheng. As expected, it was the Murong family, He Sheng, and Wei Changsheng.

After Wei Changsheng finished speaking, the atmosphere in the hall was gloomy, the autumn wind blew through the clothes, and everyone felt a little sad.

"Ahem." Guan Ting interrupted the silence, "I asked Wang Muren to come here to confront you, are you willing?"

Wei Changsheng was about to nod his head, but the next words of the official court beat him to pieces. "Yesterday we asked Mr. Cheng carefully, and he told us that you were the last person who asked him for an official seal, and you never returned it."

what?

Wei Changsheng's complexion suddenly turned gray, his eyes widened, "This is impossible, Mr. Cheng made a mistake."

"This." Guan Ting glanced at Murong Duan, "Master Murong was there at the time, and Master Cheng really said it himself."

"Then I will confront Master Cheng." Wei Changsheng spoke too quickly, his voice trembling.He had never met Cheng Li yesterday at all, let alone asked for an official seal.

"Presumptuous!" Murong Duan was furious, "What is the identity of Mr. Cheng, you dare to let him confront you in court?"

"Then Mr. Cheng made a mistake. I didn't look for him yesterday. My colleagues can testify." Wei Changsheng looked at Murong Duan stubbornly, and leaned forward slightly.

Murong Duan's annoyance persisted, he ignored Wei Changsheng's words.

"Wei Changsheng, we are investigating your whereabouts with your colleagues yesterday, please stay calm."

When Wei Changsheng heard Guan Ting's words, the blood all over his body rushed to his forehead, and several veins burst out.He pursed his lips tightly, afraid that he would want to curse when he opened his mouth.

He obviously just arrived at the yamen, and the Ministry of Criminal Justice said that he had asked his colleagues to investigate his whereabouts after only asking how long. Isn't it true that he has already been labeled as guilty?How will he deal with himself when he goes back?

"My lord, Wang Muren will bring it here." The yamen servant cautiously went to the hall to report.

Oh, this speed, I'm afraid it wasn't arranged early in the morning.

"pass."

As soon as the words were finished, a fat figure of Wang Muren appeared at the door, he was chanting words, his small eyes did not dare to look directly at the hall, his footsteps were flimsy, and he even turned a blind eye to Wei Changsheng who was standing on the side.

"Wang Muren, tell me about your itinerary yesterday."

"Sir, my lord, I left Yizhi yesterday, so, I went home, and my family can testify for me."

"Oh?" Guan Ting deliberately lengthened the ending, and turned to look at Wei Changsheng with an expression of disbelief.

Wei Changsheng's lips moved a few times, his face was livid, but he still didn't speak.Maybe Wang Muren was afraid that he would be punished for drinking flower wine, maybe Wang Muren also speculated that Wei Changsheng didn't tell the truth and made up his own confession, maybe...

It's too tiring to guess what other people are thinking.

When Wei Changsheng was still Wei Yingcai, he encountered something similar to today.

At that time, he was reprimanded by the department head in public, saying that he did not submit the report in time. He kept silent, and immediately opened the inbox, and found that he had sent the report to a colleague whose email address was only one letter different from the supervisor’s name. The relationship is good, but he watched himself being scolded without any response. Could it be that he didn't receive the email or didn't open it, otherwise it wouldn't make sense to see his jokes like those dead people?

After thinking about it, Wei Ying lost her mind, and immediately ran madly to the IT department, determined to find out the truth.The colleague in charge of the mailbox said that this kind of thing needs to be authorized by the headquarters, and he rushed to write an email to the headquarters. After going around for a day, IT finally agreed. It turned out that the email arrived at the mailbox of the colleague at 10 pm the day before. , [-] minutes later, the email was forwarded by a colleague to his private mailbox, and the original email was immediately deleted.

At that time, there were 20 hours before the deadline requested by the supervisor the next day, if he could remind himself in time...

Wei Yingcai didn't know until a long time later that after she was scolded so badly by the supervisor that she left the meeting angrily, this colleague quietly walked up to the anxious supervisor and handed in a proposal that was somewhat similar to her own idea, which the supervisor readily accepted.

When Wei Yingcai ran to the supervisor with the investigation report provided by the IT department, and wanted to argue for himself, the supervisor slammed a sentence on his head lightly, which was deafening, "It's fine if I didn't check this low-level mistake. The interpersonal relationship is still so bad, shouldn't you reflect on yourself?"

When Wei Yingcai came out of the supervisor's office, the colleague looked at him with a smile on his face and asked him how he was. He squeezed out a smile and tightly clenched the paper in his hand.

It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge.
