In the dusk, at the east entrance of Donggang Town, Lin Xi bid farewell to the Department of Justice to Jiang Rui, who was in trouble.
This season is when the plum blossoms along the Xizi River are ripe. In previous years, it is a rainy season, but this year the rain is even worse than before. It was only sunny for a moment in the afternoon, and the raindrops were falling in the dusk. It can really be described as "rainy".
Jiang Rui had a breeze in his sleeves and was frugal to the extreme. When he came, he only brought a book boy in green with him. When he left, he didn't tell anyone. He dressed lightly and simply rode on horseback. He wore a raincoat in the rain and didn't attract anyone's attention.
But when he left, there was a young man beside him, Wang Buping.
Wang Buping and Lin Xi only had a friendship for a few days. However, because of some things that happened in these few days, Lin Xi has become one of the most respectable people in his mind. Now that they are about to part ways, when he thinks of this "Master Xiao Lin" in the people's mouth
"In the turbulent situation, when he thought about what kind of successors were waiting for this young man after he left, his mood became indescribably agitated and heavy.
"Master Lin, take care." For a moment, seeing Lin Xi standing in the rain curtain holding an umbrella to say goodbye, he choked up and could not speak.
"Let's go."
Jiang Rui glanced at Wang Buping who was choked and speechless, nodded to Lin Xi, and left on horseback.
Except for special practitioners in Yunqin, there are two ways for ordinary people to enter the official career. One is to take the imperial examination at various levels, and the other is to first become a member of each department and be promoted according to merit. This method is simple to say
The point is to first do odd jobs in some departments of each company. After all, many departments still need some handymen who do practical work. After serving for a certain number of years or with good performance, they can accumulate merit and gain titles, and then they will be officially included in the list.
After examination by the Ministry of Personnel, he was promoted to a formal official.
The promotion of soldiers in the border army followed this path.
As a mainstay among civil servants, Jiang Ruishi was very opposed to this second way of becoming an official.
In his opinion, to be fair, this method is certainly more conducive to selecting talents, fairer, and can highlight some talents who cannot take exams but can work hard. However, Yun Qin Chongwu, this method has made many reckless men who only know how to march and kill people
It is easier to get ahead, and in the past one or two decades, due to the long-term peace in Yunqin, many officials have begun to enjoy leisure and work, and it is an indisputable fact that the trend of corruption is prevalent. Under such circumstances, this second way of becoming an official is even more important.
It is beneficial for some officials to buy | sell | officials and cultivate close trust.
As long as they are determined and trained by superior officials, if ordinary students perform well and become non-commissioned officers, there will be no problem at all.
Wang Buping was just an umbrella maker. He had no outstanding skills in martial arts or martial arts. It was impossible to stand out in the scientific examination. Therefore, the path Lin Xi asked Jiang Rui to take for Wang Buping was exactly the second way.
Because of his displeasure with this second way of joining the officialdom, and his almost intuitive dislike for Lin Xi, his attitude when leaving could not help but be a little too indifferent.
It wasn't until the outline of Donggang Town behind him was completely annihilated in the rain and dusk that the old man, who was upright and obeyed the law to the extreme, realized that his emotions should not be involved in his feelings for the young man next to him.
He raised his eyebrows, turned to look at Wang Buping who was following him, and said: "It is easy to make an umbrella for one person, but it is difficult to make an umbrella for the whole world. Since you followed me out of Donggang Town, watch carefully.
, learn from it, and make a good big umbrella to protect the people of Yunqin from wind and rain in the future."
…
In the Lu Dongling Mansion, five or six officials from various departments whose ranks were above that of the town governor were waiting in the center of a hall tacitly.
At this moment, some of Jiang Yanguan's impeachment documents should have been on their way to various departments in the province. Due to various interests, although some officials in Lu Dongling were unable to stop these impeachment documents, they had already drafted documents in order to counterattack.
And they tried their best to keep the storm as small as possible. As for the arrest of the Donggang Town man, it became the focus of many people's criticism.
Even if they did not have direct friendship with Xu Ningshen, because there was no stain on Jiang Yanguan's body and nothing to attack, these officials used the most common method in officialdom battles to attack the person he had protected this time.
Lin Xi's stain was used to show Jiang Yanguan's somewhat unfair handling of the matter.
This kind of method can often make it possible for one party to hit a hundred blows with a stick, but in the end it will end up with two sides hitting fifty big blows on one side and twenty big blows on the other.
Moreover, the military knows that these officials have always felt that the civil and military imbalances in the Yunqin court have always been aimed at the military. Therefore, the military has been very aggressive in dealing with some officials and officials in recent years, so these five or six people are waiting for the mausoleum.
Among the officials who gave the supervisory approval, there were two officials from the Military Supervisory Office and the Department of Justice, who were just waiting to see Lin Xi's miserable ending.
Different from the information obtained by Lien Zhanshan and others, in fact, in addition to the three crimes that Lin Xi was convicted of, the memorial of the Department of Internal Affairs also added him with one of the crimes of unfavorable supervision of subordinates and abuse of power.
The crime of obstructing normal freight.
This charge is that when the cargo was unloaded at the port of Donggang Town, the inspectors who were originally arrested were often absent. Moreover, after the floating corpse case occurred, Lin Xi imprisoned Heng Rongchang's ship without definite evidence, which greatly affected the situation in Donggang Town.
Freight transportation caused considerable tax losses to the court.
The crime listed does indeed exist and is extremely difficult to excuse.
Therefore, according to their judgment, it was considered light to demote Lin Xi from the tenth rank to the tenth rank and fine him one year's salary.
These officials were not made to wait long. It took less than ten seconds for all the documents to be delivered. There was a sound of footsteps, and a thick-browed middle-aged soldier wearing black leather armor quickly walked into the hall and handed Lu Dong.
Mausoleum Governor Li Xiping's approval for the submission of the memorial was handed over to these waiting officials.
The official from the Military Supervisory Office smiled slightly at this colleague who also belonged to the Zhengwu Division. However, after just glancing at the document, his smile completely turned pale and froze on his face. He lost his voice in disbelief: "Why?
Will this happen?"
Seeing this reaction, the other officials quickly looked at the approval in their hands. Upon seeing it, they all stood up suddenly and were extremely shocked.
Lu Dongling Mausoleum Governor Li Xiping is a real veteran of the frontier army. He was promoted to the position of Mausoleum Governor solely because of his accumulated military exploits in the border army. Like most frontier army generals, his temper has never been very good.
Usually many of the words used are not precise and a bit vulgar.
Many times, some officials did something that was not to his liking, and were often scolded. But at this moment, when these officials with pale faces looked at the approvals in their hands, all they could see in their minds was Li Xiping's angry and fierce shouting.
scene.
The ink on these reviews was also dripping with ink, and the ink was not evenly ground. In many places, it even turned into a ball of ink due to excessive force.
"How many heads have you grown? How many heads can you chop off?"
"Even if you have a few heads and are not afraid of death, are all the things in your heads still full of shit?"
"Even if what's in your head is shit, are your eyes still blind? The deadline for solving the case is seven days. It was already deliberately making things difficult. Donggang's arrest of Lin Xi only took one day to solve the case, and it was solved so thoroughly. Such a case was solved.
It's a shocking case, but instead of mentioning a reward, you want to impeach him?"
"Lin Xi has only been in Donggang Town for a few days. He solved a major case just after he took office, which is enough to prove his extraordinary bravery and wisdom. If the subordinates under the jurisdiction are ineffective and some of the arrests are lazy, it is also because the previous arrests and the supervision of the superior officials were ineffective, and they can rely on
On his head? As for Heng Rongchang, if a murder case is discovered at the port, it is feasible to seal the port for investigation. Moreover, Lin Xi solved the case in just one day. This only shows that he is effective. This day can also hinder your internal affairs.
To what extent is the case? Besides, others Heng Rongchang has not sued, so it is your turn to sue?"
"This matter is a serious dereliction of duty by the Military Supervision Office. They want to punish those who have made great contributions to prevent the world from feeling cold. How long has Yingoufang been in existence without a trace of news coming out? The arrest in Qinghe Town has been involved. It must be necessary.
It's a heavy sentence, but this Yingoufang is in Donggang Town. Even if the Donggang Town Governor and the town police are not involved, they will know nothing? Even if they really know nothing, they are really stupid and should move their butts.
Moved."
"The current Holy Master has been strictly inspecting the administration of officials in recent years. If Lin Ti arrests such a person, he should be promoted as an exception!..."
Looking at the words summed up in the reply, seeing the ink balls that represented anger, and seeing the four words "extraordinary promotion" at the back, the officer from the Military Supervisory Office felt dizzy in his head, as if his body was
He shook and almost fell to the ground.
He still couldn't figure it out, what happened to Lord Governor Ling?
No matter how angry you are, you should suppress the impact in a small way... Except for those officials involved in the case who cannot be saved, the other impeached and involved officials should be able to save one by one. However, the approval of Lord Ling Governor,
It turned out that it was not enough, and more people were named, and not only Lin Xi was completely saved, but Lin Xi was even rewarded greatly.
"how so?"
When these officials couldn't figure it out, in the yamen of Lingdu Mansion, the short Li Xiping looked extremely stern, but his body was trembling slightly because of the excitement of his mood.
"You idiots! You don't know who he is, but I do!"
Probably thinking about the reactions of those officials after receiving his approval, Li Xiping couldn't help but let out a deep and sharp shout in the empty government office.
If it were another mausoleum governor, or even the provincial governor, they would not know Lin Xi's identity at all.
But Li Xiping knew it, because Lin Xi was recommended to participate in the Qingluan Academy exam based on his recommendation. Moreover, the current eldest princess ordered him to recommend her.
In the whole Yunqin, who's opinion is more important than that of Emperor Yunqin and the eldest princess?
Moreover, when Lin Xi left Lu Dongling, he was just an ordinary country boy, but when he came back, he was already a powerful practitioner. What happened in the past six months?
Moreover, the eldest princess hated official corruption the most, and she had already passed through Lu Dongling and warned him. Even if someone immediately threatened to remove the governor of his mausoleum and wanted to deal with Lin Xi, he would rather lose his official position than dare to do this.
