Chapter 647 Three things to do when a new official takes office
The sky has just dawned, the winter sun has not yet risen, and many people have gathered outside the gate of the Spring Breeze Courtyard.
The clothes on these people are either red or green, and the patches on their clothes are embroidered with animals.
"The hard days are finally over, alas..."
"You guys are lucky enough to work under Song Sizheng, and she will take care of you. Those of us assigned to other places are just like children without a father and a mother."
"Come on, you guys are pretty good too. We were transferred to Leng Can and Jian Yuancang, and our feet were full of little shoes. We were as busy as our grandchildren every day, and we didn't give any rewards based on our merits. You know we
How did you get here all these years?"
"Last time Mr. Li came back, I didn't go to the wine shop, but Jian Yuancang scolded me for half an hour. Damn it, that grandson is really nothing."
"Then Jian Yuancang... tell me, was it casually injured by Master Zhou, or was it ordered by Li Sizheng?"
"Based on common sense, it's impossible. Who is the leader of Renzhou? A dignified first-class life magician and the leader of the Shanming Sect. He is an equal to Zhao Shoufu, but... Mr. Li is too unusual, so I can't be sure.
.”
"In the past few days, not to mention the night guards, the entire court and even officials from various states have gone crazy and are all speculating about what is going on."
"It is said that even the senior officials of various ministries and cabinet elders are discussing this matter. Anyway, the cabinet elders all praised Li Qingxian for being neither humble nor arrogant in front of the two bosses, which is rare."
"Yes, news came from the cabinet last night, unanimously agreeing that Mr. Li will be appointed as the Chief of the Patrol Department."
"It's really impossible for Mr. Li Marquis to take charge of the patrol department. Civil and military orders dictate that there is no objection. The devil wants to object, but it's useless."
"I don't ask for anything else. I just ask you to transfer me from Jian Yuancang's service and escape from the sea of suffering. I will set up a longevity tablet for Mr. Li Hou."
"Jian Yuancang won't get stuck on you, right?"
"That's what I'm afraid of, so, alas..."
"Don't worry, we old people in Chunfengju don't know what kind of person Mr. Li is. Back then, he quietly penetrated the Demon Sect's Criminal Department. Later, he opened his own place in Qiyuan City, and now he has taken the patrol from the mouth of the King of Chu.
Si Sizheng, do you really think it’s a coincidence that he became Si? If he doesn’t want it, no one can give it to him. If he wants it, no one can take it away. When Mr. Li comes back, we old people from Chunfengju will support him.
He has to help us when we drink. As for Jian Yuancang, even if you give him a hundred courages, he won't dare to blow up."
"If you think about it carefully, Jian Yuancang's several attempts were easily repelled by Lord Li."
"Yeah……"
"Yes Yes Yes……"
Around Chunfeng Jujiu, many current patrol department officials nodded without saying a word.
"Ahem, brothers, although we are following Mr. Song, we all admire Mr. Zhou and Mr. Li. When the time comes, don't forget to give us a message."
"Don't worry, Song Sizheng's people are our own people. Mr. Song helps us a lot. Besides, Song Sizheng and Mr. Li have a good relationship. Both of them have dined at Mr. Song Yunjing's house. I heard Mr. Li also called
There is Sister Zhengyanxue from Song Dynasty."
"It's good to be a family..."
Everyone stopped suddenly and looked at each other.
"Song Sizheng is not married?"
"Not married."
"Li Sizheng is not married?"
"Not married."
"Oh..." There were similar tacit smiles on everyone's faces.
Several old people shook their heads, and one of them smiled and cursed: "Stop being so careless and work hard for Li Sizheng. It's better than anything else."
Everyone was talking and laughing, the door opened, and Zhou Hen stood in front of it.
"I've met Mr. Zhou." Everyone bowed down and bowed.
Zhou Hen nodded and said, "Master Li, please come in."
A group of people followed Zhou Hen into the courtyard gate and poured into the study. The crowd was like a bundle of straw, packed into the small Chunfengju study. Several low-ranking officials stood helplessly outside the threshold.
Li Qingxian sat on the chair where Zhou Chunfeng had sat, raised his head, and scanned the officials.
All the officials bent down, lowered their heads, and their eyes dropped.
Li Qingxian's right index finger slowly slid across the edge of the table.
After a long time, he slowly said: "It stands to reason that when I took the position of Chief of the Patrol Department at a young age, I should have restrained my sharpness, kept a low profile and bided my time. I understand the truth, but now, there are monsters in the north and west, and there are monsters in the south.
There are countries, there are evil spirits in the country, and the world is not peaceful. I, the Inspector, work for the emperor, the court, and the people. It is the emperor's sword. If it is a sword, it cannot be hidden in the sheath. If it is a sword, it will be stained with blood.
You guys think so, right?"
"What you say is absolutely true!"
"My lord's words awakened the dreamer!"
"My lord, young and old, you can see the true meaning!"
Li Qingxian added: "Our patrol department cannot and cannot take care of some internal and external troubles, but we cannot ignore the things that are under our control. A few days ago, someone actually used the Masked Spider at the foot of the Imperial City, in the majestic city of God.
, leading people into a conspiracy, and the victim was apparently an imperial merchant from Jiangnan Trading Company! How could such an important matter be ignored? The first thing I did when I took office was to use this matter as a guide to eradicate the evil forces in the city of God.
!You go back now and discuss a charter to resolve this matter. Let me talk about four points first. First, investigate who violated Tianwei, ignored the law, and used the Masked Spider in the City of Gods. Second, go to the Black Lantern Division and find
The method to rescue Shen Xiaoyi. Third, send people to the Tianming Sect to issue a notice, ordering them to come to the Patrol Department to explain the situation within three days. If they fail to do so within three days, they will be responsible for the consequences. Fourth, the city of God is full of filth and evil. In order to show that our Patrol Department
Use thunderous means to find several evil forces and sweep them away tonight with lightning speed."
All the officials were frightened, and for a moment they didn't know how to reply.
Especially Fei Chunfengju, who frowned but did not dare to say anything.
Cao Ming raised his head. He was the director of the patrol department. He was Si Zheng's deputy, equivalent to deputy Sizheng. He followed Zhou Chunfeng and later served under Song Yanxue, and he was also familiar with Li Qingxian.
"Lord Sizheng, the other three items are not difficult. But finding out about the Tianming Sect is probably very difficult. The Tianming Sect has always set their sights on the top and ignores all departments and ministries. If we go, I'm afraid we will have to go to heaven.
be snubbed."
"It's better to have a chance than to stay at home and be a loser!" Li Qingxian suddenly raised his voice and said, "In the whole world, it's the king's land; on the shore of the land, it's the king's ministers! As long as you do things for the emperor, as long as you do things for the court,
Regardless of the Tianming Sect or the Earthly Ming Sect, treat everyone equally, no one is superior or inferior!"
"Yes. I will send someone to make arrangements immediately."
"Go ahead and have a meeting in the afternoon. I want to see the detailed regulations on these four things."
"I'll take my leave!"
Everyone said goodbye one after another and walked out of Chunfeng Residence, with only a few people staying outside the door.
After walking far away, one person sighed: "These things seem simple, but each one is more difficult than the last."
"In this place where filth and people gather, who doesn't have a big tree behind them? If the leaves are moved, the branches will crackle down, and no one will feel comfortable."
"Yes, but to be honest, these are what we should do."
"I think this is quite good. It's the same style as Mr. Song. Mr. Song went directly to the Prince of Chu's Mansion to arrest people. It's very satisfying."
"Yes. Lord Si Zheng is right. We are the emperor's swords. If they are not stained with blood, how can we be used as swords? To put it bluntly, the reason why Night Guard was abolished is because we are not good as swords."
