Lu Yilan did not hesitate, he just bowed and said, "I obey your command."

The queen smiled in relief, "Letting the Minister of Rites go with you will also be a helper."

When Lu Yilan heard this, he suddenly smiled and said, "Mother Queen, I have another candidate to recommend. Is that okay?"

The Queen showed an interested expression, "Oh? It's rare to find someone you like, tell me about it?"

Lu Yilan did not explain much, but said lightly: "The Duke of Ying's Mansion, Wen Chengming."

The Queen thought about it and finally recalled this person from the depths of her memory. "The one who was tested under you? If you think he's okay, then take him with you. Is there anything special about this Wen family kid?"

It was very rare to be specifically named by Lu Yilan. The Queen subconsciously felt displeased when she heard that Wen Chengming seemed to have bad conduct, but she did not show it.

Lu Yilan said calmly: "He is just a little clever. If he does well this time, it will be a test for him."

Wensier had no idea what was happening in the palace. At the moment, she was holding a file and dozing off on the table.

Reading the case files was really a chore. The documents inside were obscure and difficult to understand. After a while, she was so sleepy that she couldn't open her eyes.

Wen Si'er's head was shaking and he was about to fall down.

With a "bang", a folding fan hit her forehead. Wen Si'er was startled and stood up suddenly, covering her head.

"who!?"

When she raised her head, she met Lu Yilan's peach blossom eyes, which seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

"You are in such a good mood. Did I ask you to come to the palace to sleep?" Lu Yilan played with the folding fan in his hand, glanced at her indifferently, and said, "Bai Yunxiao, record him for blatant dereliction of duty and deduct points from the assessment."

Wen Si'er rubbed his forehead with his teeth bared, and was so angry that his head was smoking.

He treated himself like a coolie to look after these broken things, and he even remembered her for it! ?

Wen Si'er quickly stopped Bai Yunxiao who was about to take notes, and gave Lu Yilan a fawning smile.

"Um... Your Majesty, I have read too many files, so I am taking a break. I am not guilty of such a serious dereliction of duty... Please be magnanimous and don't hold it against me."

Lu Yilan looked at her flexible appearance with interest and raised an eyebrow, "Oh? Have you seen a lot?"

Wen Sier nodded repeatedly.

Lu Yilan smiled coldly, then casually pulled out a book from the file, took a look at it, and asked, "Then tell me the details of the official salt smuggling case in Yuzhou, the government office, ten years ago."

Wen Si'er breathed a sigh of relief. She had read this article.

She didn't even think about it and spoke without thinking, "There are a total of 38 people involved in this case, including 22 government officials and even the county magistrate, who are involved in smuggling salt..."

She recounted incessantly what she could remember about the case file, and when she finished, the air fell silent.

Bai Yunxiao stood behind and looked at her in shock.

Just now he quietly took a look at the file in the prince's hand, and found that what Lord Xiao Wen said was exactly the same!
Lu Yilan's frivolous expression turned slightly serious. He glanced at Wen Si'er and said nothing. He just casually took a book from the file and continued to ask: "Eight years ago, Liangzhou..."

He drew four booklets, and Wen Si'er answered the questions in each one perfectly. Lu Yilan was finally sure that this was not a coincidence.

In such a short time, he actually memorized all the files he had read. With such ability, how could he be the unlearned man as said in the capital? Wen Chengming had indeed been hiding his abilities. His martial arts, medical skills, photographic memory... What other surprises did he have that he didn't know about?
Lu Yilan's expression changed several times, and Wen Si'er had been watching his expression carefully, fearing that this man would cause trouble for her again if he was unhappy with something.

To her surprise, Lu Yilan actually put the booklet down with a friendly expression and said for the first time, "Not bad."

Wensel widened his eyes slightly.

It’s hard to imagine that these two words came out of Lu Yilan’s mouth. Can he actually spit out ivory from his mouth?

Wen Si'er knew that this hurdle was finally passed, and he was delighted. Just as he was about to bow and thank him, he heard Lu Yilan say lightly, "I underestimated your ability before. In this case... Bai Yunxiao, go get all the remaining files in the warehouse. I think Lord Wen should be able to finish reading them quickly."

Wensel: ...

Love is waiting for her here! ?
The servants in the palace moved quickly. By the time the files were brought in pile by pile, Wen Sier found that he had no place to stay.

It will take a long time to see so many of these!

Wen Si'er gritted his teeth and cursed in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face. He had to respond politely and show his loyalty.

Lu Yilan looked at her slightly distorted appearance and his mood suddenly improved a lot.

"By the way, I have another good news."

Wen Si'er immediately looked up at him warily. The good news that this dog man said must not be good.

"The Queen is going to give you a task. If you do it well, your assessment will be halfway successful."

This was really tempting. Wen Sier raised his eyes and asked cautiously, "What errand?"

Lu Yilan waved his hand, and Bai Yunxiao immediately handed over a case file. Wen Si'er raised his hand to take it, glanced at it, and his expression changed several times.

"Xuzhou? Corruption and bribery?" She looked at Lu Yilan in disbelief, "How could this job fall on me?"

Lu Yilan said lightly: "Of course I asked for it for you. If you are grateful, then kowtow and thank me."

Thank you so much!

Wen Si'er felt that his hands holding the case file were getting hot, and he wanted to throw this hot potato away.

It sounds simple to investigate and punish officials for corruption and bribery, but the local tyrants in this area all protect each other. If she, a newcomer with no background or status, goes there, wouldn't that be courting death? ?

No one in the court is willing to take this kind of case. Not only is it a thankless task, but it is also easy to offend people. You may even lose your life if you are not careful. It must be that he has realized that he is helpless and is deliberately pushing himself out to offend others!
Wen Sier showed a fake smile, "Your Majesty, I am not very knowledgeable and I am afraid I cannot handle such a big task."

Lu Yilan was not annoyed, he just said "Oh" lightly, and said leisurely: "That's fine, if you don't go, I'm afraid you won't be able to get the official seal."

Wen Si was a little crazy.

Whether he could be reinstated was still firmly in Lu Yilan's hands. This time, he had to go even though he knew it was a dangerous place!

She gritted her teeth and squeezed out a word.

"I am grateful for your kindness, Your Majesty. I will go through fire and water without hesitation." (End of this chapter)
