Chapter 369 The Turtle in the Urn
When Mu Jiaojiao saw the pile of account books piled up in front of her, she was angry and funny.

"That's it, you took advantage of their unconsciousness and moved all the ledgers and food back?"

"That's right!" Cui Pu lay proudly beside her, "It's called surprise and surprise! This time we acted very quickly, and with Wang Shiqi pointing at the side, we directly collected all their small ledgers. Now, I have all the evidence for the bad things they did in Yangzhou Mansion. I don't believe it, but now they dare to go crazy in front of me!"

Mu Jiaojiao looked at him helplessly. "I thought you'd get into a fight with them when you went yesterday."

"In the past, I would have done this. But now that I am a magistrate, if I still do this kind of thing, wouldn't that hurt my face? Besides, fighting with that kind of person is taking my identity Come to lift his face, I'm a fool to do such a thankless thing!"

"You finally understand." Mu Jiaojiao let out a long breath, and then patted his head, "Congratulations, your temper is quite mellow."

Cui Pu looked at her unhappy. "Look at your tone, it sounds like I was so reckless before."

"You weren't considered reckless before, but it's true that you often couldn't hold back your temper." Mu Jiaojiao said.

Cui Pu pouted, but he also knew that what she said was the truth.In the past, just like Mu Jiaojiao said about his daughter that day, he had a temper that would explode on the spot.Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to sleep at night!
It's cool to do that, but there will be endless troubles.

It's also because of his luck that he can cleverly find excuses almost every time to get things over.Otherwise, he would have died so many times by now!

But people always have to grow.He also can't keep dragging others into the water just because of his own temper.Therefore, in the ups and downs of the officialdom for nearly eight years, the edges and corners of his temperament were gradually smoothed out in the collisions and blows again and again.Of course, the main reason is - he has become a father!

In addition to this in Mu Jiaojiao's stomach, he has three children, and he can no longer do it as he used to.He wants his children to establish a stable and honest father image, let alone allow his wife and children to be coerced into private revenge because of his relationship.

Today, he could actually have a big fight with Wan Tianci on the spot, let out a sigh of relief for the people, and breathe a sigh of relief for himself.But what next?It is bound to be an endless tug of war.In the end, the best-case scenario is that Wan Tianci's status as head of grain was removed, but the grain handed over to the court still had to be harvested.And if this matter gets more and more troublesome, the father and brother in Chang'an City will have to run back and forth for him again.But now, Dad is no longer Zuo Pushe.My elder brother has just passed the filial piety period, and has just returned to Yushitai to work.Let them worry about him at this time, it is not just as simple as making father and brother worry, but it is very likely to implicate brother who has just returned to the court!

May I ask, which Shangguan would be willing to see his subordinates running around all day long for family matters?Especially Cui Fu is now in Yushitai, which has always been proud of everyone's self-discipline and integrity!

In reality, he had to compromise.

If Mr. Cui Ge knew about this, he should also praise him for his progress!
After going through all this in his mind, Cui Pu stood up and stretched himself: "It's getting late, I'm going to do something in the government office. You just wait here today, there will be fun to watch in a while!"

Mu Jiaojiao yawned and shook his head helplessly.

Wan Tianci and his party waited until the afternoon to come.

As soon as the talent arrived at the gate of the government office, he was stopped by Hu San, who was carrying a big knife.

"Who is coming? Sign up to come!"

Say your name!The last time we went to drink at Wei's Restaurant, wasn't it you who escorted Cui Pu there?We met at that time!Now you are still pretending to be strangers, what do you mean?
Wan Tianci was furious.But now that the account book is in the hands of others, he has to bow his head.

Then he squeezed out a smile and said, "I am Wan Tianci, the chief grain officer who came to Yangzhou to collect grain this time, and now I have something important to meet with the prefect Cui."

"Prefect Cui is busy this afternoon! I don't have time to see you." Hu San said coldly.

He went to Tianchang County with Cui Pu yesterday, but he saw the faces of this group of people clearly.Of course, when he went to move things at night, he also put in a lot of effort.Later, after moving the account book back, he also listened to Cui Pu and Wang Shiqi talk, and learned that this group of people had greedy so much in less than a month, and he was so angry that he could not Cut them into ten thousand pieces on the spot!
So now, it's good that he can resist and just give this person a cold face.

But Wan Tianci didn't think so.

Since Li Linfu gained power, his status has also risen accordingly, even in Chang'an City, there are people scrambling to curry favor with him every day.After he got the position of grain chief from Li Linfu this time, until today, no matter where he went, he was flattered desperately, and he was used to such days.But now, this mere yamen servant in front of him actually dares to flirt with him?
That is to say, now he has something to ask for from Cui Pu, so it is inconvenient to have an attack.But when this matter is over, let's see if he doesn't catch this bastard and make his skin cramp!
But now, he still had to hold back his anger, and asked in a low voice: "Then I don't know when Cui Zhifu will be free? Why don't you go and inform him first, if you know I'm here, he might come out to see me .”

"Impossible." Hu San refused coldly.

"You!" Wan Tianci almost lost his temper, Hu San glanced at him, "The magistrate has urgent matters to do now, so he has no time to pay attention to you. If you are really in a hurry, please leave a post, and I will pass it on to you later. The magistrate. When he sees it, he will reply to you."

It was because he was anxious that he rushed to the gate of the mansion to wait.If you go through the process of posting, you will have to go up for at least two or three days.By that time, Cui Pu must have already cleared up the account books, so he can only let him figure it out!
"No! I have something to tell Prefect Cui about food requisition. It's urgent! I must see him now!" Wan Tianci yelled.

Hu San just glanced at him lightly, and simply ignored him.

Wan Tianci was so angry that he almost wanted to curse.At this pass, I saw a person walking from the side.

"Ah, isn't this Wan Liang Chang? Why are you here? At this time, shouldn't you be collecting grain in Tianchang County?" The person who came was Xiao Si'er.As soon as he opened his mouth like this, he gave Wan Tianci another layer of anger.

Why did I come here, don't you people all know it well?Now that it's so easy to grasp this handle, you guys are making fun of me?

But he still suppressed his anger: "I heard that Cui Zhifu wants to count the data of grain collection over the years, so I will see if he needs my help."

"Wan Liangchang, you are so warm-hearted. The prefect must be very grateful to you when he finds out!" Xiao Si'er laughed quickly, "In that case, you can come in with me! Let's sit down and have a cup of tea first, and wait for the prefect to finish his work." He will definitely come to talk to you about the matter at hand."

Anyway, this kid still knows the height of his eyebrows.

Wan Tianci breathed a sigh of relief, and then gave Hu San a vicious look——I have written down this account!Later, I will find you to settle this account!

Hu San stared back without showing any weakness—write it down and write it down, who is afraid of whom?

The bastard!Wan Tianci cursed in his heart.

But soon, he knew that Hu San was not considered a bastard, the real bastard was his master, Cui Pu!
After leading people to the government office and placing them in a side hall, Xiao Si'er hurriedly asked people to bring them a cup of tea and some refreshments.

"You guys wait here first, and now I'm going to report to the magistrate. He will come over after he finishes his work."

Then, this group of people started to wait stupidly.

After drinking a cup of tea, Cui Pu did not appear.The refreshments ran out, but no one was there.

Knowing that Cui Pu is deliberately leaving them alone, they can only bear it now!
But after holding back for more than an hour, they couldn't take it anymore!

Wan Tianci winked, and immediately someone rushed out.But before reaching the door, two figures flashed outside, firmly blocking their way.

"What do you mean? We want to see Prefect Cui!" Wan Tianci said coldly.

"The magistrate is busy, and he will come to see you when he is done."

This sentence again!But he doesn't believe it!

"I'm going to see him now!"

"No! The prefect is busy!"

"What is he up to?"

"Is it possible that outsiders like you can inquire about the prefect's affairs at will?"

"you--"

Wan Tianci wanted to say more, but saw the two people blocking the way directly showing two gleaming broadswords: "Return to me one by one, be honest, don't move around! If you move around again, don't blame us You are welcome!"

It's over, they have been fooled again!
Seeing this scene, Wan Tianci yelled in his heart that he was not good—he should have stood at the door and refused to come in!In the end, he was deceived by Xiao Si'er's smiling face, and followed him in foolishly.

Now they are the turtles in the urn, waiting to be slaughtered by others!
