Chapter 471 Does He Have It?
Entering the Ministry of Justice from the main gate, the first thing you see is a bright meeting room. This hall is connected from front to back and from left to right, and is used by officials of the Ministry of Justice to discuss matters or rest.
There are left and right wing rooms on both sides of the hall. One is the place for atonement, where the redeemer pays silver after being approved; the other is the hall for receiving officials from all walks of life.
Crossing the hall and heading inside, to the left are the twenty-four departments of the Ministry of Justice. This is where the officials are the most numerous and the most diverse. Each department has doctors, assistant doctors, directors, etc., who are in charge of the financial affairs of the twenty-four states of Southern Commerce.
To the right, there are four more departments, each with a doctor, a deputy doctor, a chief clerk, etc.
The first department is the Ministry of Justice, which is headed by the Minister of Justice and two Vice Ministers. It is in charge of all matters of the 24 departments of the Ministry of Justice and the other three departments, including the review of proposals submitted by the Dali Temple. It is the most powerful department in the Ministry of Justice.
The Second Department was in charge of the criminals coming to Beijing from all over the country, the confiscation of property, and the whereabouts and names of all officials' families after the confiscation of property.
The Sansi Bibu was in charge of collecting fines and redemption of stolen goods from officials throughout the Southern Merchants' world. The Redemption Office was one of the three departments under it. Under it was a special official named Ji Li, who was specifically responsible for examining the financial transactions between the Southern Merchants' treasury and the six ministries.
The Sibei Simen was in charge of the registration and taxes of all the people coming in and out of the country's checkpoints. Under it were the Siwu and the Dianfang, which were responsible for the sending and receiving of documents and the storage of files.
Jiang An was going to the Ministry of Justice.
She grabbed a passing official and asked him to lead the way.
The official was grabbed by the collar, and when he saw that it was a young man with rosy lips and white teeth, he tried to break free with a look of impatience.
"Whose family are you from? How dare you trespass into the Ministry of Justice? I'm very busy and don't have time to play with you!"
The little girl used force with her hands, and the official's feet left the ground.
She said leisurely, "I am not some young master. I am going to the Ministry of Justice to take up my post today. I can't find where the Ministry of Justice is. You come and lead the way."
"what?!"
The moment Jiang An let go of his hand, the minor official knelt down.
The little girl was so scared that she took a step back, looking puzzled, "What are you doing?"
She was just looking for someone to lead the way, it shouldn't be that serious.
"It's okay, it's okay~"
The official smiled with a worthless look on his face, brushed off the dust on his official robe, and said with a smile as if it was smeared with honey, "This humble official first met the county lady... ah no..."
"When I first met the Minister, I was filled with admiration and could not help but feel… could not help but feel!"
"Minister...Sir!"
"Please come this way~"
This ancestor dared to confront the prime minister in the court. I heard that Minister Bai’s arm condition has worsened again!
He was really afraid that the county lady would be unhappy and he would not see the sun tomorrow.
It is really difficult for these small officials to make a living!
Along the way, he was seen smiling like a flower and looking flattering.
Colleagues passing by expressed their disdain for his behavior.
I don't care at all, they will regret it soon!
"Sir, the Ministry of Justice is in front of us. I am a lowly official and cannot enter, so I will send you here..."
He watched Jiang An leave, and did not forget to introduce himself, "Sir, I am the head of Peizhou Division..."
"Peizhou, it's Peizhou!"
Don't forget!
Jiang An walked in, thinking: Are the people in the Ministry of Justice so kind and enthusiastic?
After entering the Ministry of Justice, the girl noticed that every person in official robes she met was in a hurry and full of resentment.
Seeing this, Jiang An even took a half step back and looked at the plaque again. It was definitely the Ministry of Justice...
She thought she had entered the underworld!
"that…"
"I…"
The girl stopped three people, and all three of them said the same thing: I'm busy, find someone else.
Jiang An's last bit of patience was exhausted...
The gloom in her round eyes gradually darkened. You don't have time to pay attention to her, right? Okay, okay!
Jiang An looked around and found a table with some miscellaneous items on it...
I saw a little girl in black strode over and punched the table into pieces without any warning.
The loud noise and sawdust fragments successfully caused the documents, papers, and pens in the officials' hands to fall to the ground.
They looked towards the source of the sound blankly and swallowed at the same time.
The table that Jiang An smashed was sent by the Ministry of Industry. It took seven or eight people to move it in. Later, because it was too big, it was left idle.
Now... he was beaten to pieces by a punch? ?
The little girl shook the numb back of her hand and frowned, showing her rebelliousness.
"You all have heard it by now..."
She smiled and introduced herself, "I am the newly appointed Right Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice. I would like to ask if anyone is free at the moment... to show me the way?"
Jiang An smiled kindly and kept turning his wrist.
In the crowd, two officials looked at each other from a distance.
"grown ups!"
The two of them stood up and saluted Jiang An cautiously.
"My name is Zhao, I am affiliated with the Ministry of Justice, my official title is Langzhong, I am at your disposal..."
Another followed suit, "My name is Wang, I am in the Ministry of Justice, I am a civil servant, I will obey your orders."
"I didn't know you were going to take office today. I'm sorry for not coming to greet you. I hope you'll forgive me."
Just as Doctor Zhao was about to take Jiang An to see the Shangshu, a voice was heard not far away.
The man's voice was rough, arrogant and angry, "Who is it! Who smashed the table!"
"You're causing trouble in broad daylight in the Ministry of Justice. You're asking for your life!"
Jiang An narrowed his eyes and just watched him curse quietly.
Judging from the style of his official robe, this person should be the Left Vice Minister of the Ministry of Justice.
Jiang An remembered seeing this face at the morning court session.
The day before, during the morning court session, the little girl stood in the middle of all the officials and performed a morning court drama. It was impossible for this person not to recognize her...
There is only one possibility, he did it on purpose to intimidate me.
Isn't this a coincidence~
The smile on the little girl's face grew bigger and bigger, "It's me."
She just spoke lightly, her round eyes staring straight at the left minister who had a cold face.
"grown ups…"
Doctor Zhao quickly stepped forward to introduce him, "This is the newly appointed Right Vice Minister. I am just about to take him to meet you and the Minister."
"So it's the Right Minister..."
"I am so short-sighted that I really didn't see it."
The Left Assistant Minister laughed, but the contempt in his eyes was almost overflowing.
The little girl found it interesting. Why did this man think he had the capital to be so contemptuous in front of her? Was he mentally ill?
Or do you think that as the Right Vice Minister, she should endure his bullying?
That's really unfortunate...
Jiang An reached out and easily pushed Doctor Zhao away, saying, "Then Minister Zuo's eyes really need to be treated by an imperial physician."
"Oh, I almost forgot that the rank of a minister does not allow me to order people around in the palace..."
"But it doesn't matter. Since we are colleagues, I am happy to help the Minister."
You have to understand clearly, Jiang An held the position of Right Vice Minister not because she could only be the Right Vice Minister, but because the position of Right Vice Minister was the only one vacant in the Ministry of Justice!
What's more, she is not only the newly appointed Right Vice Minister, but also the County Princess personally appointed by His Majesty, and her rank is equivalent to that of a second-rank official. Even if the Minister of Justice is here, they will have to discuss this matter separately!
Taking a step back, she has a father behind her who commands a large army and is a king!
Does he have it?
Minister Zuo looked at her with disdain. The little girl simply didn't take him seriously at all.
