He looks extremely ordinary, with nothing outstanding about him. Even his face, except for a slight vicissitude, doesn't have much that deserves attention. Moreover, with a sixth-grade official position, standing behind his superior officer, he seems to be an invisible person.
Will attract anyone's attention!
"Okay, everyone, don't be stunned. Let's drink! Go drink!" Zhou Qiping saw that everyone was stunned, so he shouted and asked the officials to drink.
Next, all the gods began to build relationships and persuade them to drink. After all, this was the critical moment to curry favor with the gods and strengthen the cohesion of subordinates. No matter how high the rank of gods were, they would not waste this opportunity.
Of course I would not stay where I was. I filled my glass and walked towards Lou Pingtao.
Lou Pingtao was wearing the official uniform of the Xingli Department. The chief officer of the Xingli Branch had just had an argument with me, so when I walked over, the chief officer of the Xingli Branch frowned and said warily: "Officer Xia Tian,
What do you want to do? If you have any objections to what I just said, I suggest you talk to Zhou Tianguan and tell me. Even if you are a third-level Taoist, you must abide by the laws of the Divine Court, right?"
"Feng Shangshen, do you have such a small belly? I asked Xia Guan to go over and apologize to you. Why? You toasted me with a glass of wine and refused to accept it?" Heizi laughed. This is the fourth-level chief officer of the official department.
My name is Feng Haohai.
I secretly thought that Heizi was indeed smart, and these words dispelled Feng Haohai's vigilance.
"It turns out that Kong Tianguan sent him here. If I had told him earlier, I thought he was here to cause trouble, haha..." Feng Haohai smiled awkwardly and then breathed a sigh of relief. In fact, he was quite afraid of me.
Heizi also took advantage of the situation and brought a glass of wine over. He drank with Feng Haohai first, and then introduced me to a series of officials, including Lou Pingtao of course.
With Heizi leading the way, Feng Haohai didn't dare to put too much arrogance. After all, they were all colleagues. Although the official department was like a giant, he was also frightened to have me, a third-level Taoist subordinate, under him.
Heizi chatting with Feng Haohai naturally created an opportunity for me. I picked up the wine again and drank with all the officials from the administrative department except Feng Haohai. These officials from the administrative department did not dare to be displeased at all. After all, the chief officer also
Some are afraid of me.
Some people are afraid, and some people think that I have the ability, and it is inevitable that there will be gods who fawn over me. After all, not only do I have a superior Taoist body, but I have even landed a sixth-grade official position, and my future prospects are limitless.
Because I wanted to make friends, more and more gods came to toast me. Plus, I was smiling and good-spoken, so I quickly became familiar with a group of gods. Even Lou Pingtao among them would not refuse to say a few words to me.
talk.
But what surprised me was that the conversation with him was unremarkable, without even the slightest disturbance. I really don’t know how such a boring immortal communicated with others and how he rose to the sixth level of immortality. In fact, the immortals here have already
Everyone is a genius in the officialdom. If they can reach this stage, they will not be dumb, but this Lou Pingtao is really a boring gourd type.
Of course, I will not let go of the opportunity now, so whenever I chat with someone and have a few words with them, I will say a word or two intentionally or unintentionally. If I pass by their interface in the future, I will go in to ask for a cup of tea, a drink or something intimate.
of.
If I talk too much, no one will doubt me, and often if I say this, they will say that they welcome me. In this way, it will be normal to go to Lou Pingtao later.
Except for a few officials who harbored grudges against me, most of them had slightly changed their minds, even if it was just superficial. There must be a smile in officialdom.
After the night banquet, I found out from Heizi where Lou Pingtao lived, and then returned to the area.
After dawn, I asked Bai Ruqi to prepare some gifts and planned to go see my mother, because this matter had been postponed again and again, and it would be easy for the elderly to misunderstand me if I didn't go.
However, just when I was about to change into my official uniform and go out, something suddenly sounded in my mind. I immediately walked out the door and raised my head. The sky was full of colorful lights. It seemed like there was some divine sign shining from the sky.
Falling!
Soon the guardian at Jiewu quickly flew to me and said in a panic: "Lord! It's a divine envoy! It's a divine envoy! A divine envoy is coming!"
I was shocked, and then said: "Open the boundary gate first, and we will go and greet you personally."
Not only me, but all the guardians saw this sign. They all ran away from the practice and asked what happened.
Bai Ruqi and her maids, including Qingcheng Ruoxue, also came out and went with me to greet them. Du Fenghua was not in the circle because he was escorting Zhao Qian and others to their post.
When they arrived at the Jiewu side, three divine envoys and several followers were already standing there. The leader was wearing an official uniform and holding a cluster of the Divine Emperor's decrees in his hand.
"Xia Yitian, the criminal officer of the Sixth-grade Criminal Law Hall, received the decree!" The official said calmly, and I took a look. The official uniform he was wearing was of the third-grade, and he should be the legendary imperial minister.
I hurriedly prepared to bow to meet him, but the official showed a hint of embarrassment, as if I didn't understand the etiquette. Qingcheng Ruoxue came over quickly and whispered a few words in my ear.
I suddenly realized it and quickly asked her to direct Bai Ruqi and others to perform various rituals to receive the order, such as lighting incense and laying out various ritual utensils.
Then these messenger priests were invited to enter the main hall, and then follow Qingcheng Ruoxue's instructions to accept the God Emperor's will.
It was still a lot of unfamiliar ancient sayings, and I had no idea what they meant. After I finished reciting them, I was still confused. If Qingcheng Ruoxue hadn't called me up, I would have just knelt down and worshiped there.
"Chen Xia Yitian! Accept the decree!" I shouted, and then quickly greeted the priest.
The priest knew that I didn't know the etiquette, let alone what I was talking about, so he was quite friendly and called a group of people behind him to come forward holding various plates covered with yellow cloth, and then said: "Xia Guan, from now on we will be together in the court."
Now that you are an official, you were promoted to the sixth rank in the Divine Court. I have heard about you for a long time and paid very close attention to you. I didn’t expect that not long after, you actually jumped to the third level. This is also quite rare in the Divine Court.
, the key is your third level. Some immortals may not be able to reach such heights even if they work in the divine court until their death."
"I... got promoted? Third rank?" Although I roughly guessed that it must be a promotion, I didn't expect that I would be promoted to a third rank officer. This is equivalent to being in the same rank as Ye Hua, and because I am still working in the Palace of Criminal Law
.So we can say that he is half a civil servant, right?
"That's right, Xia Guan, you are now an official of the third rank. In the future, we will be officials in the same dynasty, so we have to move around each other. By the way, I am a close friend with Liu Rong and Liu Tianguan of Yanzheng Palace, and I also know each other with Zhu Daoqing of Shenxiao Prefecture.
"After that, Xia Guan went to his post to have a drink with the two of them. Don't forget to call me Tang Xueyang." The official deliberately got closer to me.
"Okay. Thank you Tang Tianguan. I will definitely have a drink with you when I go back to report on my work this time." I said quickly, and then asked Bai Ruqi to take out the remaining pieces of eighty-nine-grade one-year fairy energy at home, and then put them in gift boxes.
Orders were assigned to these officials.
Tang Xueyang was smart. After accepting the gift, he immediately ordered the officials behind him to bring the things to me, and then said by the way: "Here are your official uniforms, seals, and the third-level immortal energy plate that you have been awarded for three years, and some others."
The reward, whatever it is, is written in the document. After you go to the Xinglu Hall to report your work, you can go to the Supervisor to receive it."
"What about my current world..." I asked quickly.
"It must be handed over. After all, this is just a place where you live temporarily, right? Of course, if you have a subordinate of a sixth-grade official who can accept your fate, you can take over it directly." Tang Xueyang reminded me.
Where could I go secretly to steal a fifth-grade subordinate? But I was thick-skinned and said, "Is there a problem if I let a ninth-grade official watch? She doesn't have a place to live anyway."
Tang Xueyang pondered for a while and said: "Since you are a third-grade official, you are qualified to choose the mountain and sea realm. If you are willing, you can use the mountain and river map to take this realm away. It is true that it takes a little trouble, but as long as it is you,
It shouldn’t be a problem. By the way, Officer Xia, I have to return immediately to report on my work, so I won’t disturb you anymore. If there’s anything you don’t understand, I’ll be waiting for you at the center.”
This divine envoy had to go back and report on his duties, so I couldn't keep him, so I sent him outside Jiewu.
As soon as I saw off Tang Xueyang, people in the main hall cheered, and they were all excited that I had become a third-rank official.
But as soon as I closed the gate of Jiewu, a group of officials from the Tingyi Department came outside. The one at the head of the group looked fierce, as if I owed them millions!
The leader was the one who said last night that he would take me back for interrogation!
