After all, the imperial envoy cannot appear out of thin air, and he might just be here to cause trouble.
Guan Ning sensed his wariness and laughed: "Hahaha!"
"Master Li, you are really quick-witted."
"But don't worry, I'm not here to cause trouble for your clan affairs office. The trouble I caused in the Ministry of Justice was caused by that old man Zhou Chaoxian."
Upon hearing this, many old foxes in the clan office looked at each other in bewilderment. This young man was really brave enough to directly call Zhou Chaoxian an old thing.
Everyone knows what group is behind Zhou Chaoxian.
Upon hearing this, Li Yunzong hesitated for a moment, but finally made way.
"Master Guan, please, let's talk inside."
"Come here, serve tea."
"Yes!"
Seeing that the other party gave him face, Guan Ning naturally couldn't just go in and attack, as it would seem too tough. He still had to be polite. After all, having too many enemies was not a good thing, and it was even more irrational.
"please!"
"please."
The clan palace is spotless and covers a large area. Its internal layout seems to be based on some kind of star layout, and it is very solemn and dignified.
The real situation of the Zongrenfu cannot be seen from the lobby in front. One can only see that every passage is guarded by a large number of guards, and the situation is very strict.
At the end of a passage there may be a person who was once a great man, but was imprisoned there.
The tea was served steaming hot.
Guan Ning and Li Yunzong sat on the left and right, while those elders of considerable status could only stand.
At first glance, Guan Ning's age is really too different. He is in his twenties and has directly been promoted to an imperial envoy. He is dressed in an official robe, looks handsome and heroic, and is full of youthful toughness.
If you go up a level, only the young prime minister can surpass him.
"Sir Guan, why don't you just tell me directly how you need my cooperation?" Li Yunzong went straight to the point.
Guan Ning put down his teacup, raised an eyebrow, and said, "I wonder if Your Excellency could let me see the attendance of the clan officials?"
Li Yunzong frowned. Attendance?
This was obviously a personnel change in the Ministry of Clan Affairs, but he also knew that Guan Ning was sent by His Majesty, so he waved his hand without delay.
His attendants immediately went to get it.
Soon, three files were brought over.
"Master Guan, all personnel transfers are recorded here, including the horse supervisor."
Guan Ning flipped through the records and paid special attention to the records of the horse bureau. The clan court's carriages were used almost every day, but after flipping through them, Guan Ning did not see any records of any movements in the second half of that night.
There was total silence.
"Huh." Guan Ning suddenly made a sound, and his sharp eyes noticed a line of words in a horse monitoring book.
"Why are there traces of alterations on it?"
The so-called horse supervisory department was a place in ancient times that was specifically responsible for managing carriage frames. In particular, it was a high-ranking unit like the Imperial Clan Court. The style, size, and usage of the carriage frames were strictly regulated.
As for the horse monitoring book, it is naturally similar to an account book. Anyone who uses it will have the time clearly recorded.
Li Yunzong frowned immediately and took it personally to have a look. There were indeed traces of erasure on it. Although there were not many, they were still very obvious if you looked carefully.
For the Zongrenfu, which has strict rules and pays attention to neatness, this is undoubtedly a low-level mistake.
He immediately looked to the side: "Where are the people from the horse guard? Where are they?"
"Your Excellency, the Shaoqing, the Horse Supervisor, Master Park, is not here," someone said.
"Call him here immediately!" Li Yunzong's face looked unhappy. After all, the imperial envoy was here. If something went wrong, he, as the Shaoqing, would be embarrassed.
"Yes!"
Guan Ning looked at Li Yunzong closely twice. There was no evasiveness in his eyes when he spoke, only a nervousness as if he was protecting his reputation. No matter how you look at it, he doesn't look like someone who would be involved in a corruption case.
Therefore, he did not suspect the entire clan office, but instead focused more on the altered horse monitoring book.
He drank tea and waited quietly.
Li Yunzong bowed and said, "Master Guan, don't worry, if there is anything wrong with anyone from my clan affairs office, I will not cover it up."
