An official from the Criminal Department of the Great Li once made a very vivid metaphor. Every self-report file in the archives of the Survey and Grinding Division is a short but extremely exciting biography of an assassin.
In an ordinary market inn in the capital city of Qiu State, Su Lang had changed his clothes and returned to this place. There was also disciple Gao You in the room, sitting upright. After all, he was worried that something might happen to his master when he went out, so he couldn't recognize his master for a while.
God, I will bear the blood feud. I haven't learned any true skills yet, so I will embark on the road of avenging my master from now on.
Su Lang took out a wooden box from the package and took out the Four Treasures of the Study. After sitting down, he began to study ink. He closed his eyes and rested for a moment. He dipped his pen in the ink and began to write on the paper about Qiu Guo's trip to the capital and the brothel assassination.
Records of experiences and experiences.
Without asking any questions, Gao You sat on a bench, looked at Su Lang's back, and finally couldn't help but asked softly: "Master, what are you writing?"
Su Lang said: "A detailed record for review by the Da Li Criminal Department."
Gao You said oh, not daring to ask any more questions.
Su Lang hesitated for a moment, then waved to Gao You to sit at the table, and handed over the two pages he had written just before Huang Jie was attacked by the brothel oiran. Su Lang said: "Remember to forget after reading.
"
Gao You carefully read the two pages. In addition to learning swordsmanship and stretching his muscles, he naturally learned some words during this period. The young man said casually: "Master, if it were me, I would have to be extra careful about this oiran."
Su Lang's expression did not change and he asked: "Why?"
Gao You said: "This Huang Jie is obviously an expert in assassination, but in this room with the smallest number of people, the oiran who spends three hundred taels of silver for a night's sleep accidentally woke up? Don't believe it, don't believe me.
She's just a frightened courtesan. Besides
Well, be careful. You can bet on your luck by going to a gambling house, but in this kind of job where your head is tied to your waistband, you can't just gamble your life casually. Since you can't kill someone casually, you have to knock her unconscious immediately.
If the oiran is really a bad person, suppose Huang Jie or
It's either carelessness, or the two parties have known each other for a long time, but they are worried that the walls have ears. For example, master, aren't you just watching him from outside? It doesn't seem right. If they recognize each other, then the oiran can just pretend to be asleep. Can't our martial arts masters gather their voices to make a sound?
It's wrong to speak secretly online, again
No, what if Huang Jie and her were old friends? Storytellers don't always say that they can't help themselves. For example, Huang Jie actually had the worst guess, that her identity as a spy had been exposed, and she had to choose one of the two.
There is only one life left...Master, I was just making random guesses."
In the alley of the boy's hometown, there are many cheap brothels, and prostitutes who sell their goods outside the door, so when I saw the three hundred taels of silver per night written on the paper, my eyelids trembled.
Is that courtesan a woman made entirely of gold?
In the past, when he and Wan Yan passed by the door, they would call them aunt, or the women who called aunt. The young man originally had an ambition to save twenty or thirty taels of silver and send it to them. Master had heard about this,
It's just a show of sincerity. I won't give you even a tael of silver.
Su Lang smiled, nodded and said, "My master did not misjudge you. You are indeed a good material to be a spy."
There is no need for this kid to read what I write later. As for the truth, the Investigation and Grinding Department of the Ministry of Punishment has its own concerns.
Gaoyou scratched his head.
Su Lang deliberately frowned and asked with an unhappy expression: "Why do you have so many strange ideas?"
Gao You looked embarrassed and said truthfully: "Master, being a pickpocket is not easy. Wan Yan and I have been doing this since we were six years old. But without the guidance of a master, we are all self-taught, and we can't judge others."
, if you don’t strike quickly, you will be beaten.
, it was common for him to be slapped around in circles. Wan Yan was kicked very hard once, which caused the root of the disease. So every time he suffered a loss and was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, after that the two of us would
You have to add it all up and think about it carefully."
Su Lang smiled and said: "It's true that he is the number one scholar."
Gao You felt relieved. As long as his master didn't expel him out of the house, it didn't matter if he looked down upon him a little.
Su Lang then told the apprentice more about the inside story, "Huang Jie was keeping an eye on those dignitaries of the Qiu Kingdom to kill, so I was responsible for keeping an eye on Huang Jie, in order to prevent accidents and escape some fish that slipped through the net.
Or those officials who have no money to eat or drink?
There may be experts hiding around the police officer. Of course, I also have the intention of supervising Huang Jie to prevent him from having any evil intentions or prohibited actions. The records he submitted to the Ministry of Punishment and the content I gave must be in strict accordance with every detail.
, that’s right, if an official from the Investigation and Grinding Department of the Ministry of Punishment discovers a loophole, it will be re-examined as usual. If it’s a minor case, we need to go to the Ministry of Punishment in Beijing. If it’s serious, someone will be sent directly to us to ask us face to face. Military selection of the Ministry of Punishment
Si Langzhong is the one who is responsible for keeping an eye on me. Zhao Yao, the Minister of Punishment, is an official who keeps an eye on these officials. As for who is responsible for keeping an eye on Zhao Yao, is there such a number one figure in the court now?
,God knows."
Gao You was amazed, "Come to think of it, that Minister Zhao is really a great official."
Su Lang smiled and said, "That's right."
Gao You asked curiously: "This time we attack Qiu State, we have many masters from Da Li?"
Su Lang nodded and said: "Weishi is just a person who does specific things and does not participate in the planning, but it is simple. To give a rough estimate, there are about 500 people in the two lists. Weishi and Huang Jie belong to Dali
Several members of the secret government agencies, including the Bing and Punishment Departments, plus the monks who were temporarily transferred from the military garrison in three states including Hanzhou, whether overtly or covertly, there should be three
About a hundred people.”
Gao You was shocked and said: "So many?!"
Su Lang smiled and said, "Is that much?"
Gao You said cautiously: "With a 50% discount, it will be more than enough to kill all the officials and soldiers in Qiu State within one day, right?"
Su Lang smiled and shook his head.
Gao You asked: "Master, did I say it wrong?"
Su Lang put down his pen and said seriously: "Who is responsible for killing whom does not all depend on the level of the realm. This is one of them. Just like the teacher thinks you are suitable for this profession, it has little to do with Gao You's level at the moment. Every scene
Assassination must not only be done safely and ensure the outcome, but also give Huang Jie and others some experience. This is the consistent purpose of the Dali Criminal Department to train spies. For example, Huang Jie
Jie worked in a brothel for several years in the most despicable profession, which was a kind of experience to become familiar with all kinds of people and the world. In the future, he will change his territory and identity, for example, he will play the role of a rich man who spends a lot of money, or a prince and grandson who wallows in makeup.
His conversation, knowledge, and demeanor are definitely capable of doing the job. He will only act more realistically than he really is. This is the second point."
"The most important thing is the third point. In the future, the 'Huang Jie' people, or you, Gaoyou, can all be officials, and your status will change from dark to bright. Although you are not from the clear path of taking the imperial examination.
, but the Dali Dynasty has two promotion routes specially set up for you. You may even have the opportunity to take charge of the government one day. As far as I know, the person with the highest official status has already become the governor and county governor of the Dali Dynasty.
There seems to be another deputy general from Qizhou."
Su Lang smiled and said: "It is said that our Minister of Justice, Ma Shangshu, has said that there are two types of officials, those who are good at studying and those who are practical in affairs."
However, Master Shangshu added another sentence after that, I am the kind of official who is very good at reading and more pragmatic in work.
Gao You was happy when he heard this, "That Ma Yuan, as I know, is a well-known official. He is the head of the Ma family in Poyang, Shangzhu Kingdom. We in the capital say he is the illegitimate son of Mr. Guan."
Su Lang did not reprimand this apprentice for speaking out loud, no matter how big or small.
Gao You was stunned for a moment, his expression became complicated, and he said softly: "Master, when I used to talk to Wan Yan and the others, every time I mentioned the matter of Ma Shangshu, I always thought it was just a joke to amuse people. Now that I have recognized Master, I know that Zhao
The servant's absence
After seeing the comparison, I suddenly felt that Ma Yuan, since his official hat was bigger than that of Zhao Shilang, must be an extremely scary person. Maybe I would meet Ma Shangshu one day in the future, and he would be able to speak with his tongue.
You can’t straighten your hair.”
Su Lang also found this statement interesting, "It's okay, the chance is slim anyway, and it's hard to be embarrassed. I have never met Ma Shangshu as a teacher, and I have never had the opportunity to chat in person."
Su Lang instantly reached out and grabbed the scabbard on the table, and made a silencing gesture towards his disciple.
There was a gentle knock on the door outside the house. Su Lang changed his voice and pretended to be lazy and asked: "Who?"
There was a charming voice outside the door that could make a man shed a few bones after listening to it, "Master, guest officer in the house, do you want your sister to come in to warm the bed? The price is negotiable..."
The woman laughed to herself as she spoke.
Su Lang looked helpless, but he still breathed a sigh of relief.
With high oil pressure and a low voice, he said in surprise: "Aunt Zhou?!"
Su Lang quickly put away the few pages of paper and hid them in his sleeves. He looked at the wooden box on the table, hesitated for a moment, then opened the door and found that it was indeed Zhou Haijing.
Next to her was a handsome man with a smile, and a purple wine gourd hanging from his waist.
Su Lang was greatly surprised and immediately held up his hands and said: "The second class of the Criminal Department serves Su Lang and has met Cao Shilang."
In the corridor outside the house just now, was it Zhou Haijing who helped Mr. Cao hide the sounds of his breathing and footsteps? Or was it?
Cao Gengxin returned the gift with her hands raised, "I'm glad to meet you. I've heard the name of Qingzhu Sword Fairy for a long time, and it's like thunder to my ears. Miss Zhou and I happened to be passing by, so I wanted to bother you."
It was hard to say who was so irritated with whom. Su Lang turned sideways and let them walk into the house. He gently closed the door. Knowing that too much words would lead to misunderstandings, Su Lang stopped talking.
Cao Gengxin looked at Gao You, held up his hands again, and said with a smile: "Hey, this little brother, at first glance, he is a young handsome man with official aura."
Gao You had already realized what was going on and got up. Without the need for Master to remind him, he had already moved away from the table and stood over the bed.
When he heard the conversation from "Cao Shilang", he didn't know how to respond for a moment, so he had to look at the master, but Su Lang didn't hint anything.
The young man was confused, Minister? Where is the Minister? From the Qiu Kingdom? He can't be as high an official as that Minister Zhao, right? Are all officials so careless? Then Wan Yan and I, aren't we?
Are you born to be a high official? Forget it, Wan Yan, an unloyal bastard, has already gone to the mountains to become a god.
Cao Geng smiled and asked: "Brother Xiao Gao, after seeing Mr. Chen, can you straighten your tongue when speaking?"
Gao You asked in confusion: "Which Mr. Chen?"
Cao Gengxin smiled and said, "He has been to your alley and looked for your Aunt Zhou."
Gao You immediately became happy, "The minister is talking about him, Sect Master Chen. I recognize him. Why don't I recognize him? He is a master of martial arts at first glance. He doesn't talk less... He doesn't talk too much either. Anyway, he is a very amiable person."
The guy wearing cloth shoes, I heard Aunt Zhou say that a thief is as rich as a rich man, oh, if his wealth is not revealed, he will live in the world.
Cao Gengxin laughed and said: "Then what are you afraid of, Master Ma? When we meet in the future, ask him directly if he is the illegitimate son of Mr. Guan. I have been curious about this for many years. If you get the answer, little brother, please remember to tell me."
Just say it."
Su Lang understood instantly and almost couldn't hold back the curse. Was it really him? Did he really take it seriously?
The Green Bamboo Sword Immortal then changed his mind and thought about it. In that sword competition that year, was he still honored despite his defeat?
Even though he knew that the other party was a minister, Gao You couldn't get scared and whispered: "I'm not a fool."
Su Lang was afraid that Gao You would say the wrong thing, so he had to bite the bullet and introduce with a smile, "Gao You, this Minister Cao is the Minister of Civil Affairs of our Li capital city, not from the Qiu Kingdom."
Gao You glanced at Cao Gengxin's wine gourd, let out a laugh, and said shyly: "Master, I guess you have guessed it, I don't dare to take it seriously."
Cao Shilang, the Ministry of Personnel, is known to everyone in the capital. He is a first-class origin, a second-class talent, a third-class official, and a low-class character. He is a drunk woman and is notorious for not doing his job properly. To put it bluntly, it is ugly.
Yes, he has a bad street reputation. However, young scoundrels like Gao You, who make a living on the ground, are very envious whenever they talk about this minister Cao, who seems to have only one good quality: being approachable.
It is said that Minister Cao started to sell erotic pictures when he was a child. Rumors spread among the people in the capital city, and it is unknown whether it is true or not.
Cao Gengxin sat on the bench, holding the back of his head with both hands, and leaned back as a habit. He was startled, and quickly sat upright. His face was a little embarrassed, and he said: "I am the least popular in Jianzhou.
It is true that a few officials were demoted, but more officials were promoted. Although people like Huang Jie made some mistakes and were not experienced enough in doing things, their achievements were real.
To be honest, I have to get promoted. In the end, I was about to be scolded by several senior officials. I guess if I even dared to say anything back, they would put a knife to my neck. By chance, Miss Zhou found you.
With such an acquaintance here, let's go here to hide in peace. Let Zhao Shilang go up alone and be exposed to the spitting stars."
After all, Gao You had never practiced Buddhism. The young man just thought that Cao Shilang's words were funny, so it would be a pity not to become a storyteller.
However, Su Lang knew exactly what kind of relegation would make several generals, including General Hanzhou, furious and would not hesitate to directly confront a minister of the Ministry of Personnel with the surname of Shangzhu Kingdom. In short, this
This time, the knife was not only used against Qiu Guo, but also within the officialdom of Hanzhou, Great Li.
Zhou Haijing laughed and said: "The swords were at war, and we almost started fighting. A big man was hiding behind two ladies. He was really brave. Look at what Zhao Yao did. He was also a minister. He didn't retreat but advanced. He stretched out his hand.
He pointed at the faces of the governor Situ Xiguang and the Hanzhou general Lu Song and cursed them endlessly. Do they dare to talk back? Zhao Shilang scolded those two frontier officials as if he was scolding his grandson."
Cao Gengxin raised his head and took a sip of wine, and said helplessly: "It's so irritating to compare people to each other. Damn it, from now on I'm going to work as an errand in the Ministry of Punishment, and this place in the Ministry of Personnel will burn my ass."
Su Lang asked tentatively: "Is the position going to be filled next? Will someone still need to keep an eye on it for a while?"
Zhou Haijing clicked his tongue in surprise.
Cao Gengxin nodded and said: "Those vacant positions have lost the official title of the old master. Whether they are capital officials or local military generals, there are one or two candidates who have been booked long ago to take their place, such as Chief Assistant Zhuang Fan.
Give way to General Dou Mei
Everyone in the Qiu Kingdom's temple is fighting for his position. There is also Han E who has just ascended the throne and happens to be the emperor and his courtier. Therefore, it can be said that the Qiu Kingdom's court and local officialdom are relatively simple. As for the immortals on the mountain,
The government and Jianghu sects are even more
It's easy. It's not a big deal. Of course, there are some positions that no one can replace in the short term, which will be more difficult. For example, in various academies, it will take more energy to clear the opposition. Except for those who have poured in
Qiu Guo's government and the public only need to follow the script
Storytellers, I guess you still need some catchy folk songs, plus a few widely circulated prophecies, but it's okay, and it's all within the expectations of the Imperial Prefecture. As for the effect, it's true
It will take another two or three months to see."
Gao You is listening to the Book of Heaven.
Su Lang's mood was extremely complicated, and he said in a forced tone, "I can't imagine it."
Cao Gengxin smiled and said, "Everyone has their own reasons for not believing it."
In Dali Capital, Yu Yu only said that he was in charge of the twelve Earthly Branches. Recently, Yu Yu was almost torn to death. And how could the prince Song Xu be so good?
When Cui Guoshi was here, there was no leakage, and everything was running smoothly.
Without Cui Guoshi, it has only been a few years since some places in the Great Li Dynasty began to...
Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s not talk about anything far away. Let’s just talk about those secretaries in the Imperial Prefecture. Whether it’s Zhou Haijing from the Earth Branch lineage or Huang Meixian, the deputy general of Hanzhou, killing them is as easy as squeezing a chicken to death, but if
Really reached officialdom?
What's more, it is a joke for those who practice Taoism to insist on being far away from the world of mortals, having a Taoist heart that is not dusty, and a body and spirit that are not entangled in the world.
Cao Gengxin looked as usual and asked: "We have also arranged to meet two distinguished guests here. Su Gongfeng, do you mind if we occupy the magpie's nest?"
Su Lang stood up and said with a smile: "Since we have not received any additional transfer orders from the Ministry of Punishment, my disciple Gao You and I need to leave the capital immediately."
Cao Gengxin smiled and said: "This little brother, please train Su Gongfeng well and learn a strong skill. Next time your master and apprentice go to the capital to report on their work, you can come and sit with me. Anyway, the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Personnel are both in Nanxun.
It’s just a few steps away from the square.”
Su Lang clasped his fists and said goodbye, "Definitely."
As soon as the two masters and apprentices left, two others came from behind.
The handsome young man wears a folding fan in his back collar, like a bohemian nobleman, and the woman next to him wears a power fence and looks like a maid.
He was the young minister who was "roll-called" in the court. He was born in a poor family, a young prodigy, and the number one scholar on the gold medal list. He entered the Hanlin Academy, served in two departments and gained experience, and rose through the ranks. In his thirties, he became the minister of the First Division.
Except for being almost appointed as the Prince Consort by the old emperor, Shao Wanling's career had no twists and turns.
And this sword-holding maid, named Wei Xianrou, led three people in succession to teach the nun, the young queen mother, and the young emperor.
Both of them are genuine natives of Qiu State.
A man took a huge risk and took the initiative to send a secret letter to the Ministry of Justice of Dali on the second day when he became the minister of the Ministry of Personnel of the Qiu State.
One was a spy of the Da Li Criminal Department at the age of twelve. He had a household registration in Jiaofang in the capital. He was especially good at folding long sleeves and was amazing to everyone.
The common people don't need to know too much inside information. Qiu Guo's temples and temples are all clear and they just know everything.
Zhou Haijing sighed with emotion, "I originally thought that Su Lang was a noble man and not suitable for officialdom, but I was mistaken."
Cao Gengxin smiled and said: "If you are not high-ranking, you still have to look at what others are doing. To say the least, in officialdom, you can flatter the superiors but not bully the inferiors. Even if you are a capable person, I can't say that you will definitely have a successful career. Anyway, I am very optimistic about this person.
Qingzhu Sword Immortal. Next time we meet at the Libu Yamen, I must ask about the details of the sword competition at the villa."
Zhou Haijing sneered: "Are you boring?"
Cao Gengxin said: "Su Lang is only a marginal figure in the officialdom, so many of his ideas are still taken lightly."
Zhou Haijing was surprised and said: "Cao Gengxin, don't belittle others and praise yourself, and deliberately pretend to be on my side!"
It was rare for Cao Gengxin to say a few tough words to her, so he said angrily: "I have been afraid of being an official since I was a child, so on this matter, I spit on my nails, and I am very strong. Do you think
I was working as a kiln supervisor in Huaihuang County, and I was just hanging around every day. In that place, anyone could gain a foothold. Wu Yuan and Yuan Zhengding were both very smart people, right?
I am the only one who has survived a nail and a somersault."
Zhou Haijing sneered and said: "Since you are afraid, then you still want to be a shitty official. It doesn't hurt to stand and talk, so why are you talking here and making sarcastic remarks?"
Cao Gengxin smiled bitterly and said: "It's not just the Jianghu and love scenes that can't be controlled by one's own control."
There was a knock on the door, and Zhou Haijing raised his chin. Mr. Cao quickly opened the door and showed his dignity to the imperial minister.
But he saw that Cao Gengxin straightened his collar seriously, went over there to open the door, and said with a smile that you two could come in. It was probably Shao Wanling who saw this powerful minister of the First Department of the suzerain and had no intention of moving, so he
She gave up the idea of closing the door and walked to the table first. Wei Xianrou picked up the power fence, gave Cao Gengxin a blessing, and followed Shao Wanling to stand at the table.
Cao Gengxin closed the door, looked serious, turned around and cupped his hands and said, "Nice to meet you."
Zhou Haijing was very surprised. He was so polite for the first time. Could it be that our Minister Cao is possessed by someone?
Cao Gengxin got straight to the point and asked: "Shao Wanling, are you angry because you were not asked to fill the vacancy of Minister of War immediately?"
Shao Wanling shook his head and said: "I am not suitable to be in charge of the Ministry of War. It is not just a matter of age and qualifications. I am only suitable for the Ministry of Personnel or the Ministry of Punishment. I will be promoted to Minister in a few years without any problem."
Cao Gengxin nodded, "I came here for an appointment today. The Imperial Master asked me to send a message to ask you whether you would like to serve in the General Affairs Department of Dali Capital City. It just so happens that the General Affairs Department will have some major changes in the position in the near future. Those vacant positions will
There is a suitable position for you among the positions available."
"Of course it's impossible to have the same rank as Qiu Guo. After all, it's too eye-catching. It may have a big or small impact on your future career development in the Dali Dynasty, as well as your reputation in the government and the public in your hometown.
There are hidden dangers. But I, Cao Gengxin, can guarantee here that as long as you go to the General Affairs Department and have some ability, you will have some commensurate real power."
Zhou Haijing was quite surprised. He even said it to this extent. He just didn't tell Shao Wanling that he went to the General Administration Department of Dali and became a successful person, right?
Unexpectedly, Shao Wanling's eyes were firm and he shook his head and said, "I'm looking for an official position, but I'm not asking for an official position in Dali. To be honest, even if Minister Cao kidnaps me to the capital of Dali today, I won't be an official. Not even that country's official.
The master is standing here in person, and I still say the same thing!"
After a moment of silence, Shao Wanling said slowly: "Today I can rebel against the emperor Han Jun who is justly sitting on the throne. If one day Hanzhou officials become the same as Qiu State, I will rebel against the suzerain country, and it will be you who rebel against it.
Da Li Dynasty. Of course, your Da Li officials are too powerful, and some of them are too smart when they are officials. Maybe one day, I will end up quietly and suddenly dying, and I must be a very deserved death?
It doesn’t matter, it’s not a pity to die.”
Having said this, Shao Wanling laughed at himself and endured it again and again. Finally, he couldn't hold it back and swore, "Damn it. It's not a pity to die after being talked about by those guys who don't want to die. It doesn't sound like that."
What good words you said have changed their taste."
Cao Geng thought for a moment, raised his hand and slapped the table, smiling brightly and said: "A soldier is determined to be a man of the Tao, and he is polite here."
Wei Xianrou's eyes lit up when she heard this.
Cao Gengxin quickly complained: "Some words are too taboo. Don't tell me. You have to tell the Imperial Master in person."
Zhou Haijing put his hand to his mouth and whispered to the young woman who looked very shy: "That comment was made by the Imperial Master, and Minister Cao just borrowed it."
Cao Gengxin was thick-skinned. He didn't care about such words to undermine him in person, and said to himself: "It's really not good to be an official if you are too good at it."
Shao Wanling said: "After all, there are only a very small number, otherwise I wouldn't..."
On the contrary, Minister Cao became even more depressed. He waved his hand and interrupted Shao Wanling. Let's not talk about this for the time being. He took out a second-class offering plaque from his sleeve, handed it to Wei Xianrou, and explained, "This should be Zhao Wanling from the Ministry of Punishment."
Yao personally brought it to you, but he can't get away now, so I will do it for you."
Wei Xianrou immediately took out the third-class innocent card from her sleeve and exchanged it.
Zhou Haijing is a very attentive woman, and she can tell that Wei Xianrou is hiding something on her mind.
Cao Gengxin hung it around his waist. Seeing several people's surprised looks, Cao Gengxin asked, "What are you doing? It's against the law. I can't just have fun."
Wei Xianrou said softly: "Shilang Cao, in accordance with the regulations of the Ministry of Punishment of Dali, wearing the "nothing" badge without authorization is not only a violation of the law, but also the crime is not small."
A soft and timid demeanor, a soft and timid tone of voice.
Cao Gengxin waved his hand, "I am a popular person next to the Imperial Master, and I am also Zhao Yao's good brother... It's not against the law to brag, right?"
A palm pressed down on Mr. Cao's shoulder, and the man smiled and said, "It's not illegal to brag. You might as well make a draft."
Cao Gengxin turned his head and said with a smile: "Why did the Imperial Master come here in person?"
In addition to Chen Ping'an, there was also a girl in a mink hat with rosy cheeks, and a young man with a yellow hat, green shoes and a green bamboo cane.
Zhou Haijing hesitated for a moment, then stood up to greet the guests.
The other two stood up like jumping.
Chen Ping'an ignored Minister Cao and smiled with them, "I've met Minister Shao and Wei Chongfeng. They have worked hard these years."
Shao Wanling bowed silently.
Wei Xianrou subconsciously returned the gift with her hand, then immediately withdrew her hand and gave a blessing.
Cao Gengxin wanted to stand up to express his gratitude, but Chen Pingan pushed him back to the bench with both hands.
Chen Ping'an explained with a smile: "In addition to boarding the Dali military sword boat to see what I'm doing, I came here to the capital to meet two new Dali spies named Ma. They were forced by me.
I am for the Criminal Department of Dali, so I can’t be laughed at by Minister Zhao. Of course, the main thing is to get familiar with Minister Shao and Wei Gongfeng, and I guess Minister Cao is not good at lobbying either."
Cao Gengxin said: "Master Imperial Master, I even gave you those eight words of evaluation, but I still couldn't impress Shilang Shao."
Shao Wanling said with a smile: "It's okay if I don't say it, but what Cao Shilang said, if I am a fan of officials and casually go to the capital of Dali, wouldn't it be misjudged by the imperial master? I guess my future will be in trouble, maybe Cao Shilang also needs to eat something."
Hanging from the head?"
Cao Gengxin rubbed his chin, "That's true. I'm really not suitable for officialdom. I can't get around you people."
Wei Xianrou's face was expressionless, but she was extremely surprised in her heart. How could Cao Gengxin dare to talk to this great Lixin Imperial Master like this?
"You all sit down and talk."
Chen Ping'an said: "Wei Gongfeng, this incident in the Qiu Kingdom, the deployment of the Da Li Bing Xing Department was actually relatively hasty, and I was trying to catch the duck. You are the well-deserved first contributor. The entire sword boat is unparalleled.
If you have any objections, I was with Jianzhou. I originally wanted to directly upgrade you to the first-class enshrinement, but Zhao Yao refused to nod, saying that once this opening was opened, a large number of punishment department enshrinements would be enshrined in Hulu.
Hua Lao, I think it is a shortcut for special promotion. It is easy to lose the sense of proportion in doing things, and it is bad for you to learn poorly. Zhao Shilang is in charge of this line, and he said so. I think it does make sense, but Zhao Shilang also
I took a half-step back and said that in the future, he would personally handle affairs with Wei Gongfeng, thus completely bypassing the various departments of the Ministry of Justice. Zhao Yao will discuss with you the specific details of the doorway here in the near future."
As soon as she heard the name "Wei Gongfeng", Wei Xianrou stood up suddenly.
She was in high spirits, pursed her lips tightly, shook her head or nodded slightly, and her ears were as bright red as the smallest flaming cloud in the world.
Chen Ping'an shifted his gaze and asked with a smile: "Shao Wanling, do you really not want to go to the General Administration Department of Dali Capital?"
Shao Wanling stood up, shook his head, and asked tentatively: "Can you please help me congratulate the eldest grandson Shangshu?"
Cao Gengxin could not hold back his laughter. Well, the Imperial Preceptor is also a poor lobbyist.
Chen Ping'an nodded, "No problem, I'll definitely put in a nice word for you. I'm naturally far inferior to you in my formal talk and official tone, but I'm not a layman either."
Cao Gengxin glanced at Mr. Shao and scolded you for being ignorant. Shao Wanling looked at Mr. Cao and said that you are not upright.
Chen Ping'an said goodbye and left the inn with Xiao Mo and Xie Gou. In the secluded alley near the inn, their figures all rose up from the ground, turning into three bright sword lights, like a rainbow splitting the sky, heading straight for
The Yufang Sect of the leader of the Immortal Family of Qiu State.
Previously on the sword boat, Cao Gengxin wiped the soles of his feet and escaped, while Zhao Yao was still confronting Situ Xiguang and Lu Song's group of officials.
It is only said that the six doctors who were practicing in Qiu Guochao were promoted two times and demoted two times, and the remaining two were directly taken away by the Ministry of Punishment.
They didn't notice at all that on the other side of the huge map, there was a man in green shirt who had been standing for a while with his hands behind his back.
When they realized something was wrong, Chen Pingan was asking about some marching instructions with Huang Meixian, the deputy general of Hanzhou, and then Chen Pingan just talked to Zhao Yao about Wei Xianrou's unusual promotion.
Situ Xiguang and Lu Song, several important local ministers of Dali who were regarded as the Supreme Emperor of Handzhou, did not dare to speak.
They were not afraid of the swordsman or Yin Guan's status, but they were afraid of a new national master whose behavior was too much like Xiu Hu.
In the past, "So if you disagree with my political views, then you are wrong."
Now, "To the Dali Dynasty, I am a help in times of need. To me, Chen Ping'an, the Dali Dynasty is the icing on the cake. You must be aware of it."
The sun is getting higher, there are no clouds in the sky, and the sky is blue. I can see the immortal ashram in the distance. The mountains are like clusters of swords, and they come into view. One of the peaks has a strange color, like a lady's hairpin.
Immortals who practice Taoism and live in seclusion live in seclusion here. They come out of the mountain occasionally, either to protect the country or to be worshiped by wealthy families.
The three visitors began to enter the mountain. The stream followed the mountain, and people walked along the stream. The mountains were covered with mist, and the water and clouds were shining on their clothes.
Walking on the mountain road, Xie Gou grinned and said: "Sir, have you really not met the Ma brothers over there in Qiu Guo's capital? It will definitely be interesting to meet them. I took a peek a few times before, tsk, it's amazing, what a comparison.
A person whose heart is as solid as a rock must look at it with admiration."
The two brothers in the capital of Yuxuan Kingdom, Ma Chuan and Ma Bi. Their situation may be even more miserable than that of the few in Fuyao Sect today. After waking up from the dream, they died? Even the dream of being reincarnated as an animal
, had already thought about it for them. Want to shave your hair and become a monk, escape into Buddhism, and escape from the world of mortals? How could such a good thing happen? Chen Pingan had already let them do it, which completely blocked their escape route.
Xie Gou started to open his mouth wide, and the sound echoed in the empty valley. She asked Xiao Mo to try it too. It was very fun.
Xiao Mo was talking about business with his young master, "No one died. It's a miracle."
Chen Pingan said: "Everyone who is not a human being is like a mirror. Within the established rules, they must ensure that everything is done beautifully and without any flaws. After all, His Majesty the Emperor, the Imperial Preceptor's Office, and the Liubu Hall officials
, those who are qualified to attend the Imperial Study Room’s small court meeting will all watch their every move.”
Xiao Mo asked: "Sir, what will happen next among the three branches of criminals, soldiers and officials?"
Chen Ping'an said: "Just watch."
Xiao Mo said: "What can Xie Gou and I do?"
Chen Ping'an said: "The existence of you two Taoist couples is the greatest deed."
Xiaomo nodded.
Xie Gou put on a stern face and turned his head, imitating the grin of the millet grains as big as the dustpan.
In the branches of the Yufang Sect, many members of the Ancestral Hall died silently today. They were either Taoist wizards who had high hopes for the Taoist master Fu Xian named "Ling Gao", or they were members of the highly respected secluded Ancestral Master.
Pass it on personally, and then pass it on to your disciples.
From the beginning to the end, the old immortal did not explain a single word. He had accumulated great power. The patriarch personally went out to clean up the family. Who dared to question, and was he really not afraid of being wiped out? Pang Yun, who pretended to be Yuanying, was the nephew of the head master.
So what if Xian Yi died and the old man claimed to be in the Jade Pure Realm in his own dojo?
Previously, Fu Xian took a direct descendant down the mountain to the capital of Qiu Kingdom. As a result, the only disciple who came back was the disciple who hurriedly rushed to the wind with a sad expression. He staggered across the threshold of the hall and knelt down in the Patriarch Hall, sobbing.
It is said that the master has returned to Daoshan on a crane. It is rare for him to leave the seclusion and preside over matters.
The Patriarch's face was gloomy. He said that this kind of dog who failed to achieve anything but failed was almost ready to destroy the 700-year-old foundation of my family's Taoism. Why did he mention it? If he died, he would die. He removed his seat and died there.
The outside is clean and trouble-free. Don't expect to have a hanging portrait in the ancestral hall and have to remove the name from the genealogy!
Na Huo Ling was briefly interrogated and went through the motions. Pang Yun comforted and encouraged this guy who was surviving the disaster, just to tell him not to think too much and just treat it as a worldly experience that sharpened his Taoist heart. Now we
It is a critical moment for Yufang Sect to hire people.
Pang Yun even thought of it on the spur of the moment and accepted a closed disciple, who turned out to be an inconspicuous servant in the outer sect. It was a great blessing that the carp jumped over the dragon's gate!
Inside the Patriarch Hall, there was an unidentified girl with a round face. She did not sit down, but wandered around in the lobby, reading the couplets and touching the gold-lacquered pillars. Pang Yun did not introduce her origins, leaving it up to everyone to guess.
go.
Her surname is also Fu, but she comes from the Shen Gao Sect. She is in the Golden Core realm and is a swordsman.
Pang Yun only needs to know one thing. Her great-grandfather, who has passed away, was the evangelist of Qizhen, the emperor of Shengaozong.
Fu Ji has a high seniority in the Shen Gao Sect, and she also has the status of a monk accompanying the army in Hanzhou, Great Li. To stay here in the Yufang Sect, she needs to wait for several juniors from the same sect to arrive here. They are from several immortal families elsewhere.
The sect is busy, so I don't think there will be any mistakes. I am not very young, but I am used to the old world of the world.
Fu Ji took a look at the hanging portraits of the ancestors of the Yufang Sect.
She had no reason to think of Sister He who had gone to Luzhou, Beiju to establish a sect.
Sister He is a genius in cultivating Taoism, and she used to be in charge of specific affairs of Shen Gao Sect, but she often feels tired easily when Taoists look at mountains and rivers.
Over at the Yufang Sect's mountain gate archway, a pair of young men and women with similar looks removed their invisibility skills, pressed their cloud heads, and floated down.
The man wears a Taoist crown on his head, with a jade tree facing the wind, and a black demon-binding rope wrapped around his waist. The woman's face is stern and extremely cold, and a green and yellow bamboo whip hangs from her waist to beat ghosts.
The two immortals, who didn't know whether they were siblings or not, seemed to be waiting for someone and were not in a hurry to climb the mountain. This made the concierge monk, who was both ashamed and longing, say, "The mountain is closed today and we will not entertain guests."
", they had no choice but to swallow it back into their stomachs gently.
Soon there was a young god with red lips and white teeth. He also wore a hibiscus Taoist crown. He drove a dazzling glow and quickly circled the mountain tops. He pulled out a colorful ribbon like it was in the air. When he arrived at the mountain gate, he landed with a bang.
A roll to disperse the dust.
When the young man saw him, he made a habit of joking, "Short-legged coquettish guy, he has a lot of fairy spirit."
The young Taoist boy laughed loudly, and with short legs, he shook his waist. He was about to say something dirty, but the woman gave him a cold squint and had to shut up.
Having already seen the three Taoist priests of the Shen Gao Sect, Xie Gou asked out of curiosity: "Mountain Master, I never asked, what are we doing here?"
Chen Pingan put his hands in his sleeves, thought for a moment, and said with a gentle smile: "This is a strange story from many years ago."
