Chapter 14: The Legendary Six Doors

Uncle Qian Desheng of the Qian family rented a donkey cart. Huaixiu and Xiaoren sat on the board outside the cart, extremely excited.

"Look, that's Yongchang Shipyard over there, the biggest customer of our De Sheng Workshop." Qian Desheng exuded a proud look all over his body.

"Wow..." Xiaoren opened his mouth wide, and Huaixiu looked around. On one side of the pier, there were dozens of boats, large and small, with countless craftsmen working non-stop on the boats and ashore.

, transporting, looking from a distance, looks like a group of ants.

Qian Desheng's workshop made nails and anchors. He kept explaining to Xiaoren that the nails Yongchang needed were all custom-made. Of the hundreds of nail shops in the capital, less than five received orders from Yongchang, which proved that

The craftsmanship of De Sheng's workshop is outstanding, "Now the workshop is in need of manpower, Xiaoren, you must learn this craft well."

Xiaoren was listening carefully and agreed casually. He then pulled Huaixiu to look east and west, pointing and muttering.

"This child." Uncle Zhang accused, and Uncle Qian smiled and said, "Unexpectedly, the children are like this for the first time. By the way, Amei has been very good in recent years..."

The two elders were walking on the road from Tongzhou to the capital, pulling their family's donkey cart. The road was so wide that it was staggering, and there was an endless stream of vehicles coming and going. After about an hour, they arrived at the "Chaoyang Gate" in the capital.

, the tall city wall made people's necks sore when they looked up. The vehicles entering the city were lined up for several miles. They waited for another half an hour before they were able to enter the city gate. Huaixiu had only been to Jiangxi once.

The prosperity of Zhouzhou City and Capital City can be compared to that of Jiangzhou?

What the merchants on the ship said is no exaggeration. Along the way from Chaoyang Gate, there are many restaurants and shops, carved cars and BMWs vying for each other, trucks passing by, people from all walks of life gathered in the capital, and entertainers and entertainers walked along the streets.

Performers, people carrying burdens walking through the streets...people coming and going from north to south, there are a lot of people with different accents.

"Ah, monster?" Xiaoren exclaimed.

A man with blond hair, blue eyes, and a black robe passed by their donkey cart, saluted and smiled at them, and Xiaoren was so frightened that he grabbed Huaixiu's arm tightly.

Huaixiu was also stunned.

Qian Desheng smiled and said, "The missionaries from the Netherlands look like they're scaring you."

There were also many people from the Western Regions dressed in strange clothes, leading camels, walking in rows, and the camels jingling. These were things Huaixiu Xiaoren had never seen before. The hard journey for half a month was replaced by curiosity.

Passing by the Central Government Office, Huaixiu clearly felt that the atmosphere here was much more serious. She saw the Dali Temple and the Jingzhao Mansion, and her heart skipped a beat. The big six-open door and two mighty stone lions stood at the door.

, I can’t help but feel that the yamen in the capital are magnificent.

"Uncle De Sheng, where are the six doors?"

Qian Desheng smiled and said, "Andingmen, Ping'an Street."

Stability, peace, and extraordinary meaning. Huaixiu thought, and his heart suddenly boiled with excitement.

"Uncle, Huaixiu goes to Liumen as a police officer."

"I know, I know, Xiu'er, please listen to my uncle and don't become a policeman. It's so dangerous. Your father is the one who spoils you. My daughter, I won't let her suffer like this."

"I'm not bitter." Huaixiu couldn't explain to the two elders that he was actually very happy to be able to do what he liked. "Besides, there are so many people who want to enter Liumen but haven't had this opportunity yet, so I have to cherish it."

.”

To become a police officer in the Six Gates, one must have recommendation documents from various yamen, either from the public sect, or a person who is particularly favored and has detective ability or potential.

Huaixiu had to beg his father for a long time before he got the recommendation letter.

But the next day, Huaixiu was slapped in the face.

When she excitedly rushed to the six gates to sign up, she saw groups of people walking out of Ping'an Street.

Is it too late?

Why do these people have disappointed looks on their faces?

Could it be that the exam is over and they are candidates who failed the exam?

Huaixiu stopped a person to ask. The person was surprised to see that she was a girl, and asked, "Are you coming to sign up too?"

"Um."

Seeing Huaixiu's face full of expectation, he said happily, "Girl, go and see for yourself."

What does this mean?

"Get out of the way, get out of the way..."

There was a sound of copper bells, and several dung trucks passed by Ping'an Street. The stench was so strong that everyone stayed away, and disappointment, sighs and complaints came one after another.

The further he walked, the narrower and deserted the road became. Huaixiu finally saw a... workshop with a "Six Doors" plaque.

Isn't it a workshop? On the left is a tile-burning workshop, and on the right is a coffin workshop.

Six doors are sandwiched in the middle, two doors are open, there is not a single yamen servant, let alone the majestic stone lion.

There was only a notice posted on the wall, and several people stood underneath it, talking about it.

"Let's go, let's go."

"If there is no rank and salary is reduced, who will come to Liumen as a police agent? It is better to live happily in one's own county government office."

"No, look, does this count as a yamen? Isn't it just a workshop? It's a pity that I spent so much on this trip."

"I heard that the imperial court intentionally removed the Six Gates, and all the former police officers with connections have gone to the Third Division."

"No wonder, there is no one left. Today is the last day to register. There are so many people who have come but not yet left."

"I think six doors will become no doors."

...

"Shut up." Suddenly, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl in purple came up with a sword in her hand and a stern look on her face. She said to the people under the notice, "Like you, all you want is promotion.

If you want to get rich, you are not qualified to come to Liumen."

Even Huaixiu felt a little ashamed after hearing these righteous words.

Those people were irritated and said, "How could you get so arrogant as a yellow-haired girl? When I was chasing the criminal, you were still calling me daddy at home."

The girl sneered, "Really? Then let me see what you are capable of." After saying this, Danfeng glared, pulled out his sword with a bang, and stabbed several people.

Is this open? Huaixiu immediately took two steps back.

Those few people didn't avoid it, thinking how could a dignified man of seven feet be afraid of a little girl, and even wanted to teach her a lesson. Some people tried to persuade her, "Forget it, forget it, why bother with the same level of experience as a yellow-haired girl."

Although she is a "yellow-haired girl", her skills are good, and the long sword in her hand makes her moves easy. Not only did these people underestimate the enemy, but they were also not good at their skills, and they were beaten to pieces. "That's all." The girl's face was full of sarcasm.

"You are like you, you still want to get into the sixth door? Even if you don't quit your job and get a salary reduction, you won't be able to enjoy it." One of them turned red with anger, unconvinced, and continued to attack the girl.

"If you don't admit defeat yet, don't blame me for being rude." Within a few moves, the girl snatched the opponent's sword and completely humiliated the opponent. "So vulnerable." She held the sword.

, just as he was about to break it, he saw a gray-clothed figure flash past, and a powerful gust of wind hit the girl. The girl quickly blocked it and took several steps back. When she came to her senses, the two swords in her hand were gone.

Her sword clanged into the wooden door, and the other one fell into the hand of the gray man.

Huaixiu was also surprised. The man in gray was even more skilled in martial arts and snatched the sword with lightning speed.

"Who are you?" The girl was shocked and angry.

The man in gray was only a boy in his twenties. He ignored the girl and returned the stolen sword to her.

"Thank you, Young Master Jiang." The man thanked the young man.

"It turns out they are a group." The girl said. She looked up at the sword on the door. Naturally she was not convinced, so she said to the young man, "I want to compete with you."

"Yuzhu, don't be rude."

A woman in her thirties walked out of the six doors. She was wearing a yamen official uniform, a military officer system, with sword sleeves and narrow waist, dark red and gold embroidery, a horizontal sword hanging on her waist, and a heroic appearance. Everyone present except Huaixiu and the young man seemed to

They all recognized her and immediately saluted the woman, "I have met Sheng Changsi."

Huaixiu was startled, Chief Sheng? Could it be Si Sheng Lingrong, the director of the Guangming Department under the Six Gates? The young man also seemed slightly startled.

There are four divisions in the six gates, namely the Mingjing Division, the Zhengda Division, the Qingzheng Division, and the Guangming Division. Each division has a chief. Because the chief of the Guangming Division is a woman, it set a precedent for the six gates to accept female agents.

But when he saw Sheng Lingrong cupping his fists and saluting everyone, "My nephew Hu Yuzhu is rude, I hope you won't be offended."

That girl in purple is Sheng Lingrong's niece? No wonder.

"My nephew has met his aunt."

"Yuzhu, I still haven't apologized to everyone."

Hu Yuzhu was happy and saluted everyone.

Everyone no longer cares about it, "Sheng Changsi, is what this notice says true?"

"Of course it is true." Sheng Lingrong said, "So, please consider carefully whether you want to enter the Six Gates."

A few people discussed for a while, "In this case, I'm afraid six doors are not suitable for me, so I'll leave now."

Sheng Lingrong nodded, made a gesture of invitation, and then glanced at Huaixiu beside him.

Huaixiu quickly bowed and said, "Li Huaixiu of Jiangzhou has met Sheng Changsi."

The young man was about to leave with him, but after hearing Huaixiu's words, he stopped and turned around to look.

"Li Huaixiu?" Sheng Lingrong seemed a little surprised, "But Li Huaixiu who solved the resurrection case on the passenger ship?"

Everyone was shocked, including Huaixiu himself, who thought to himself, how could he know about the Six Gates in such a short period of time? Then he thought, it is not surprising that the Six Gates knew such a large intelligence network.

"...The common people were just hit by mistake..." Huaixiu blushed a little and his heart beat.

Sheng Lingrong said, "I know that your father is a police officer in Shi'an County. You must have asked for Six Doors when you came here, but the notice on the wall also made it very clear that the Six Doors Police Officers are no longer awarded the title of guard. You are

Do you want to stay or leave?"

Huaixiu glanced around, as if everyone was waiting for her answer.
