I Became the Devil Queen's Heart Demon novel Chapter 134

Chapter 134: Chapter 96 Empress, Don’t Look Back, I am the Emperor!_3

On the distant street, two sedan chairs came slowly, followed by several junior officers.

The sedan chairs stopped in front of the entrance, and the followers drew back the curtains, and two men clad in brocade official robes stepped down.

A man dressed in red attire was Deng Hongtao, the Director of the Personnel Department, responsible for the assessment and evaluation of officials and was the principal executive officer for this imperial inspection.

The other man, adorned in a blue robe embroidered with silver pheasants, was Yu Huai, Ministry of Personnel Officer, primarily in charge of supervising the inspection process to ensure objective and fair results.

"Mr. Deng, Mr. Yu."

Lord Jian had been waiting early at the entrance and quickly came forward to greet them.

"Lord Jian."

Deng Hongtao nodded slightly.

Yu Huai, on the other hand, was expressionless and completely ignored him.

Lord Jian, unfazed, smiled and said, "I know the two of you are busy with official duties and still need to inspect other government offices after this, so I would not dare delay. Shall we begin straight away?"

Seeing his eagerness, Deng Hongtao had a measure of him, "Then please, Lord Jian, lead the way."

"This way, please."

Lord Jian led everyone towards the Ding Fire Department Office.

Along the way, he whispered, "Mr. Deng, about the matter I troubled you with last time..."

Deng Hongtao, without diverting his gaze, replied indifferently, "Rest assured, I will enforce the law impartially and ensure there are no errors."

Lord Jian’s smile grew even brighter, "That is good, very good."

Everyone arrived at the Ding Fire Department Office.

Chen Mo was seen sitting nonchalantly on the office chair with Li Yuan standing with hands behind his back.

"Chen Mo, when meeting two officials from the Ministry of Personnel, you should stand up and pay respects..."

Just as Lord Jian was about to scold, Yu Huai, who had been stern-faced until then, stepped forward with a friendly smile and said,

"This must be Hundred Households Chen, the famous case solver? I have heard so much about you!"

"Hundred Households Chen solves cases divinely, his insights are like torches, and he has foiled the Demon Clan’s conspiracies numerous times, truly a pillar of support for Great Yuan!"

"Having you is Great Yuan’s fortune!"

?

Lord Jian’s smile twitched at the corners of his mouth.

How could this man have two faces? He’s too good at buttering up!

Ministry Personnel Officer belongs to the official faction, the same group as his father... Chen Mo knew very well, and bowed his hands, "This must be Mr. Yu? You flatter me, it’s merely my duty. I am but a brick of Great Yuan, ready to be placed wherever needed."

Yu Huai, moved, said, "Mr. Chen, you are truly modest..."

"Cough, cough."

Not able to stand it any longer, Lord Jian cleared his throat loudly as a reminder, "Gentlemen, shall we get down to business?"

Yu Huai glanced at him, snorted coldly, and remained silent.

Chen Mo waved his hands and said, "Bring out the case records and account books, let’s assist the two officials in their investigation."

"Yes."

Li Yuan responded.

Soon, the piles of case files stacked up on the table.

Deng Hongtao motioned with his hand, and the junior officers came forward and began to categorize and tally up the cases.

Lord Jian’s mouth curved into a cold smirk.
