After one stick of incense, all five people came back, one person at a time.

In this way, Li Hui stood up and began to assign tasks to the seven people.

"Each of you should check these account books by yourself first. After confirming that there are no problems, I will verify it and then contact Mr. Liu. Once one of the accounts is unclear, they say that the 'three fires of a new official' will be burned at that time. Don't blame me for being merciless.

Also, from now on, you guys can ask for leave from me, whether it’s sick leave or personal leave. Those who apply for sick leave must have a document written by the imperial physician. As long as the personal leave is reasonable, the official will grant it. But if you want to show off your power like this today, don't say that I am messing with you. "

Spoiling? !
All seven people were stunned, even Liu Berson was stunned.

Shouldn't this word be used by women? Why did the dignified Minister of Household Affairs use it so naturally?
Although he was asked to "temporarily take over", everyone knew that this position belonged to him.

Liu Berson could just hand over the things and leave, but now it seems that he can't leave. He may have to be pushed out to cause a fire. He has to think of something for himself.

After hearing Li Hui's operation, some people were happy for him, while others were angry after hearing it.

The old ladies of the Su and Gu families couldn't sit still and sent letters to the Li family one after another, but all they received were rejections. Since Cheng Xue sent away Li Zhong, Guo Dake and the others, she has been teaching the five girls to read and read medicine every day, just like practicing in seclusion, without going anywhere. In addition, the Li family does not need outsiders to deliver food, it is all provided by the farm.

In this way, there is no way to meet him by chance.

At the last moment, Liu Berson finally took the lead in confessing several problematic accounts.

When Li Hui saw him, he didn't give him any trouble. Taking advantage of the fact that there were only two of them in the room, he whispered:

"I also want Mr. Liu to escape unscathed, but if these accounts are submitted, it will definitely not happen. Please give me some guidance, so I can find another way."

Liu Berson's Adam's apple moved slightly, and his face was filled with death. He finally understood, and Li Hui himself knew that these things could not be taken to the court now. After all, they were not strong enough to move them down. But once he tells what he knows, it will be a dead end.

Seeing the smile on his face, Liu Berson let out a long sigh.

"Master Li, once this path is given to you, I will really be dead."

"In this case, Mr. Liu, there is no need to rush back to his hometown. Our court does not stipulate that you must leave the capital immediately when you return home. You can stay longer, preferably until next year's martial arts exam."

Focusing on the "martial arts test", Liu Berson had an enlightenment. After leaning forward and whispering a few words, he solemnly warned:
"...Master Li, you must be careful. The people there are by no means idle. It is said that there is a killer battalion from all over the world to patrol."

"Have Master Liu been there?"

"I'm not afraid of Mr. Li's jokes. I'm not qualified. Even Cui Shangshu has never been there."

"That's it. Thank you Mr. Liu. You can go back and rest. You don't have to come over tomorrow. I will take my time to look at these accounts. There is no rush."

Liu Berson laughed and called him an "old fox" and left the household department without an official title.

Although there is still a gap in my heart, at least my life is saved, my family is saved, and my property is saved.

Next, Li Hui broke all the account books he was responsible for into whole parts, and took advantage of the clear table to recalculate and copy all the account books. This copying also meant that the previous confusing accounts were completely confused, but he singled out all those involving the Su and Gu families.

After taking it home, she immediately found Cheng Xue, pointed to the several allocations from Luoxia Town above, and said:

"Do you still remember Luoxia Town?"

"Remember, the late empress opened a bathhouse over there that is similar to a steam room. Do you mean these places are related to the late empress?"

"It's almost ten," Li Hui told frankly.

Cheng Xue did not deny it after hearing this. He would investigate it anyway and told her that he was just giving her a vaccination in advance and not to be confused again when the truth came out. Although she cannot guess the true identity of the original person now, one thing is certain, she is definitely related to the late empress. Of course, this is nonsense.

There were a lot of parties a year ago, but Cheng Xue didn't go to any of them. Li Yue picked a few people with whom he had a good relationship and went there, and didn't show up at all the others.

On New Year's Eve this year, the Li family has more children than last year, including Li Heng, Li Yue and his wife, and Luo Zi. Li Huai and Li Tian couldn't come back, but their things and letters from home were still intact.

After eating dumplings at midnight, Wen Tian took Li Heng and Luo Zi to the yard to have fun. Li Yue and his wife returned to the hospital to rest, and Yan Yixin drank too much.

In the main room, Cheng Xue leaned in Li Hui's arms and asked:
"With the opening of the seal on the eighth day of the lunar month, are you going to be busy?"

Li Hui said "Hmm" and hugged her tightly, and then said after a while:

"If you're bored at home, how about you disguise yourself as a bell doctor? Ask Bai Wei and Cheng Xi to accompany you."

"No, I will be very busy after the new year and plan to open a women's health center. Zhu Xuan and Ran Hong are both interested, and Mrs. Zhou is also interested in it."

What she can do here is limited, but she will do her best to create value, at least not to be a woman with her palms up.

Li Hui heard her arrangement and rubbed her neck coquettishly.

"My wife is so capable, so my husband can just eat soft rice with confidence."

"Eat, I can support you. How long do you plan to stay in Hubu?"

"I really don't know. It depends on how long he wants me to stay. According to me, I want to leave now and go to the Ministry of War."

Only in front of her could he speak unscrupulously. God knows how much he suffered when he faced those monsters and monsters in the household department years ago. He said something about his mouth behind his back, so why not say that they themselves are annoying!

While the two were chatting, Tiandong hurried in, bowed his hands and said:

"Master, madam, the roasted tail sent by the palace has arrived."

"Are you sure you gave it to me?" Li Hui was puzzled.

To be fair, only second-rank officials and above are qualified, and he, a third-rank minister, had no chance at all.

Tiandong nodded heavily and said again:
"It was delivered by Marquis Zhenyuan himself, and he is now in the front yard."

In the late evening, the Marquis came to deliver roasted tails, which was really a proper weasel giving New Year greetings to the chicken.

Cheng Xue tugged on his sleeve uneasily, and Li Hui kissed her forehead without avoiding others.

"Be good, don't worry, I'll be right back."

"He must have bad intentions. If he really said something, you must not be angry."

"Okay, I will listen to my wife." After Li Hui said that, he got up and went out.

Cheng Xue sat on the kang without moving for a long time, and finally picked up a medical book to stabilize her mood. But no matter how much she forced herself, it would not help. She was flustered, upset, and restless, and it was impossible to suppress it.

I went to the ground to put on my shoes, walked to the dressing table and took out the jade pendant from the bottom of the box. I rubbed it in a daze, always feeling that the truth would be revealed before long. But she didn't know exactly when. She just hoped that it would come as late as possible...
