Chapter 155
Since he had to take Hanzhi and a dozen other female officials who were in charge of the account books, Yiman simply took along all the ceremonial officers and arrived at the Hubu Yamen in a grand manner.

The Hubu official who saw Yi Jia early informed Liuzhou, the Hubu minister who was on duty.

When Man arrived, Liuzhou was greeting her at the door, "I'd like to see you, the eldest princess."

Along the way, many students from poor families who had heard the news followed Yijia. For a while, many people gathered around the door of the Hubu government office.

Yiman supported Ji Lan's hand and got out of the car, with a slight smile in his eyes, "Master Liu, please forgive me."

"Thank you, Princess." Liuzhou looked back and saw that there were many people following him, "Princess, what's the matter with coming here?"

Yiman lowered his eyes and smiled, "I want to check the basic account books."

Liuzhou was in trouble. Isn't this the harem interfering in the government's affairs? "This - eldest princess, does your majesty know about this?"

Yiman shook his head slightly, "Your Majesty, I don't know, but I am not here to check the accounts related to the Household Department, but to check the accounts related to the Inner Palace and Taichang Temple."

The warehouses are all next to each other, who knows what they are going to check?
Liuzhou was silent for a moment, and his peripheral vision drifted away. Apparently someone was looking for the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

"Princess, will you come back later after I have asked your Majesty?"

With a helpless sigh, he turned around and glanced at the gathered people, took two steps closer, and lowered his voice, "You should have heard about my temperament. I heard that your young master molested the seventh prince's sister, and we are in the same group. "

Liuzhou suddenly froze and looked at the indifferent girl with complicated eyes, as if he was seeing a beast under the abyss.

"The princess is right. Princess, please come in."

With a smile and a wave, Hanzhi entered the government office with a dozen female officials.

"Thank you, Mr. Liu, for reciprocating your kindness. I will definitely help your young master resolve this matter."

Liuzhou's eyes wandered and he cupped his hands, "Thank you very much, Princess."

I had long heard that the eldest princess had intervened in the government affairs through the hands of the prince, and even the prince's people in the court were willing to listen to her orders.Today, you can intervene in the affairs of the Ministry of Justice just by opening your mouth. Could it be that the eldest princess has already intervened in the affairs of the government?

Liuzhou thought more and more and did not dare to neglect. He quickly summoned his subordinates to follow the eldest princess.

"Princess, this is the important area of ​​the warehouse. No unauthorized entry is allowed on weekdays. The account books that the princess wants to check are on the right. I will go and call some accounting clerks."

Yiman glanced at the warehouse and saw Hanzhi nodding, "No need, these female officials of this palace are all experienced in it, so they won't delay the government office's work. Mr. Liu, please leave if you have nothing to do. I'm waiting here, won't you?" Running around."

How could such an important place like the warehouse allow an outsider to check out the details? Just as Liuzhou was about to refuse, he saw Lu Bo leading a group of young eunuchs to surround the warehouse.

"This - the eldest princess."

Yiman patted Liu Zhou on the shoulder, "This is also for the safety of the warehouse. If Mr. Liu doesn't want to go out, just wait here with me."

Liuzhou waved his hand quickly, "I still have government affairs, please resign, resign."

Watching Liuzhou leave, Lu Bo walked to Yiman and said, "Princess, what if Your Majesty blames me?"

Yiman sneered, "The queen is grounded, and the emperor brother is implementing the New Deal. I heard that the Duan family is entangled with some second-rate families and causing trouble. If he punishes me again at this time, he will be like slapping himself in the face. The emperor brother will implement the new deal." It’s even more difficult. As long as he still wants to implement the Chunko New Deal, he will not attack the imperial brother’s side again.”

Yiman turned around and saw that Hanzhi and his men had already laid out their tools and made their arrangements.

"Princess, I have taken a brief look at the accounts. There are really many accounts. I don't know if I can finish them all through the night."

"It's okay, Hanzhi, just do your best. There's no need to check this year's matters, only those related to flood control the year before."

"Yes, servant girl understands."

The sound of the abacus sounded, and Yiman took two steps outside, "I have never been to the government office before. I'm going to take a walk around."

"Princess, will this slave follow you?"

"You stay here guarding the cold branches. Don't let anyone disturb you. Ji Lan will follow." "Yes."

The master and servant covered the wall of the warehouse and walked on the stone road.

The summer grass was lush, Ji Lan protected Yiman inside, "Princess, there are mosquitoes here, let's go back first."

Yiman suddenly heard the sound of rings colliding with each other. He took two steps forward and saw a small official diligently leading Zhou Yu forward, who was dressed in white. The two of them bumped into each other.

Their eyes met quickly, Zhou Yu lowered his eyes with a smile, raised his hands and saluted, "See you, Princess."

This was the first time they met after he brought her back to Qingsi Palace last time. Although they also passed letters because of Chunke's new policy, they were all related to government affairs and the Zhou family.

Yiman looked away stiffly and said, "Master Zhou, please get up."

The air was silent for a moment, and even the clerk on the side felt something was wrong after being frightened, and huddled aside with his head lowered.

Ji Lan's eyes moved around the two of them and pulled Yiman's sleeves.

Yiman suddenly noticed something strange about himself, frowned, and raised his eyes with sharpness in his eyes, "Young Master Zhou has no official position, what's the important thing for you to come to the Hubu Yamen?"

Zhou Yu's eyes contained a faint smile, with a quiet softness, "I am sorting out the Zhou family tree. There are some branch branches with huge numbers and official status, so I just came to the household department to handle it."

"Son—"

When the little official saw that Zhou Yu didn't hide anything and told the truth directly, his heart suddenly tightened.

Yiman didn't expect that he would tell the truth. He was trying to defend by attacking, but she didn't expect that the other party would defeat her with his sincerity.

"Then, Mr. Zhou, please do as you please."

After speaking a little, he lowered his head slightly.

The smile in Zhou Yu's eyes deepened. When he saw a host of masters and servants blocking the narrow bluestone road, he stepped directly into the weeds next to him without warning, and his white clothes were immediately stained.

When the clerk saw Zhou Yu stepping on the grass and walking straight forward, he had no choice but to lift up his official robe and follow him quickly.

Yiman glanced at it and took two steps forward, "Is anyone gone?"

Ji Lan looked back twice, "I saw it, princess."

Yiman responded and walked straight back to the warehouse.

Seeing the princess coming back with a straight face, Lu Bo didn't know what happened. He looked at Ji Lan and saw Ji Lan shaking his head, so he didn't speak.

Yiman sat on the chair and sighed.Suddenly, she thought of the Zhou family tree mentioned by Zhou Yu. At this time when Chun Ke's new policy was being implemented, she couldn't allow her not to think too much about it.

It sounds like he intends to split the Zhou family and draw all the distant branches of the Zhou family out of the Zhou family in Jindu.But doing so will inevitably greatly reduce the power of the Zhou family. Isn't he afraid that the emperor will take advantage of Chunke's new policy to completely destroy the Zhou family?
"Princess, there is a problem here."

Yiman was awakened and suddenly looked up at Hanzhi.

"So fast?"

"This slave was worried that there would be no time, so he recorded things backwards. Before he even started counting, there was a problem here."

Yiman only saw dense numbers, "What's the problem here?"

"Although this was the money that came out of the palace to control the floods, it doesn't match the money flowing out of the palace. There is a lot more money here."

Yiman looked at Hanzhi doubtfully, "Not a lot, but a lot?"
