Chapter 21 Inspections
Prefect's Yamen
At this time, the gate is open, two lamps are hung in the corner of the eaves, the entrance is a brick road, and the two yacha are hanging with swords, standing left and right like nails. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Thirty-three people passed the gate in the order of the list, and the new recruits smiled, some were solemn and reserved, and some pretended to be contemplative, Pei Ziyun swept his eyes and looked up: "Ma Ji is the third on the first list." ”
The second place is Chen Nan, the second place in the Wenyan. ”
This young man has a graceful demeanor, his eyes are like ink, Pei Ziyun secretly thought: "I don't know the channel method at present, or I can see the truth and the void, but even if I don't have the channel method, I am still a rich and noble person from the face." ”
As for the first place, it was Gu Xianggao, a boy about thirty years old, who was not familiar with it, and after reading it, his eyes crossed and saw Zhang Yuyu ranking third in the second list.
"Hmph, as a Daomen, I was rejected by the dragon qi, and I was able to rank third on the second list, which is already very good for my network prestige. ”
"The dragon has a spirit, and if you have not entered the Daomen, you may be able to take the exam, and it is difficult to raise people after you have entered the Daomen. Under Pei Ziyun's gaze, Gu Xianggao led everyone to the front hall.
There are two people on the first list, and the second list and three lists are arranged in three columns.
A scribe shouted: "Gu Xianggao, the head of the current department, leads the new talent to meet the Lord of Futai!"
At the moment, Gu Xiang bowed down, and the rookie behind him also went to the prefect to pay homage, which thanked the prefect for his admission, and also set the names of teachers and students, which are all rules.
"Meet Hakusho-sama!"
Farewell, everyone.
"Meet the masters!"
At the salute of the three bows, Xiucai stood up, the prefect smiled, and said to everyone to study hard, and everyone listened to the teachings under the eaves.
The prefect spoke very briefly, and then Xuezheng spoke, which was also very brief, and there was no room master to speak after speaking, and the music rose, and everyone entered the banquet, which was in accordance with the ancient rites, the elders and the young, the dignity and humility, the three songs, the guest of honor answered, and all had a set of etiquette.
After the banquet, the prefect did not speak, and everyone saw Xuezheng one by one.
For the first three, Xuezheng is a lot of encouragement, and the rest will comment on one or two sentences.
Pei Ziyun stepped forward and found that the prefect, Xuezheng, and Fang Shi were all very concerned, Xuezheng asked casually, Pei Ziyun answered on the spot, there were no mistakes or omissions, and he saw that Xuezheng was relatively satisfied, and said, "You are only fifteen years old this year?"
"Yes!"
Xuezheng said: "I can't see it, I read your article, and I thought it was an old showman......
The latter words were not spoken, but he looked at Pei Ziyun carefully, Pei Ziyun felt a pang in his heart, so he had to smile bitterly and give his hand: "The student's family is poor, and what he learns is also to learn from the township Xiucai, and if he can't learn, please forgive me." ”
Xuezheng heard this, Wen Sheng: "Well, it is not easy for you to get to the tenth exam this time, the official has read your papers, and the article is okay, but since you have won the show, you have to cultivate your self-cultivation, and it is always right to cultivate your qi." ”
"Thanks to the teachings of the adults, the students will continue to work hard. Pei Ziyun could only thank him, and smiled bitterly, in fact, Xuezheng said that there was a shabby atmosphere in his writing, so he had to nourish his qi and be graceful.
It seems that although Lao Xiucai's literary style is good, but the resentment of Huaicai is actually very taboo in the examination room, and the more obvious it is, the more he doesn't take it - he can win, which is already considered luck.
There was nothing to say below, and after the banquet, some people still stayed in the house, and some people went back to the county and their hometowns, and Pei Ziyun went all the way back to his hometown.
Jiangning County
Pei Ziyun took a break in the county inn, and then went with Tang Zhen to meet the county order and the county scholar, which naturally does not need to be said, the county order finally said: "County students, it depends on you, the literary style of this province is not very prosperous, so there is an order above, Xiucai can give five acres, tax exemption ten acres, these must be done in the near future." ”
Pei Ziyun thanked him, Tang Zhen smiled and bowed, and he didn't say much, only one "yes", because although his family is not a big landlord, he also has 100 acres, and he doesn't care about how many acres he has.
The two of them went out of the yamen of the county government, it was raining, the cool breeze was agitated, and the wine woke up a little, Tang Zhen smiled: "Brother Pei, are you still going to live in the county for a few more days?"
Pei Ziyun was stunned for a moment and said, "No, Brother Tang will go by himself, I will finish one more thing in the county, and I will go back to my hometown immediately." ”
Tang Zhen was not reluctant, he called the ox cart, and the ox cart shouted and went away.
At this time, Pei Ziyun also called an ox cart, but said: "Go to the inspection department!"
The oxcart driver was stunned, and looked at Pei Ziyun wearing a talented green shirt, so he answered, and went, this spring rain is like silk, and there are few pedestrians in the alley, only listening to the sound of hooves stepping on muddy water.
After a long time, the ox cart stopped, and the coachman said, "It's here!"
In the drizzle, Pei Ziyun got out of the car, glanced at it, and saw that this was the style of a small yamen, gave money, and lifted his feet up the stairs.
The inspection department does not have a knife guard, but there is a gatehouse, with a post to enter, the entrance is a couplet on the column, see a pair of wood embedded on the pillar: "Deceive people as if you deceive the sky, do not deceive yourself; ”
There was a servant leading the way to a large room in front.
The door saw that the case file was placed on the table, and at this moment, the inspector was wearing a Jiupin official uniform and was checking, and a long knife was hanging behind the inspector.
At this moment, when he entered the room, the official made a clear sound, and the man said, "Please sit down, wait a moment." ”
There were two hospitality chairs in front of the desk, and a tea table was placed in the middle, Pei Ziyun sat on it, but after a while, the official came, served tea, and really left.
When Pei Ziyun looked at it, he saw the inspection face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, with some murderous aura, his body was straight when he was sitting, he was holding a file annotation, and his writing was wide open and closed, as if he was using a knife.
Seeing that the approval was finished, he raised his head, and Pei Ziyun said, "The student meets the adult." ”
The inspector glanced at Pei Ziyun in front of him, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Pei Xiucai, I don't know what happened to Pei Xiucai, you suddenly came to visit today?"
The inspection department has been there hundreds of years ago, mainly for the state and county to catch thieves, at the beginning of the grade is not into the stream, to this dynasty, Taizu has not yet called the king, in the occupied area to build the inspection department, most of them are the town inspection division, indicating that the inspection division attaches great importance to the inspection department, Taizu called the emperor, the country generally set up a large number of inspection divisions, has been institutionalized, standardized, generally located in the Guanjin artery, under the jurisdiction of the local state and county, command the archers, inspection exchanges, crack down on smuggling, arrest thieves, and set the inspection is from the nine products.
Although the rank of the inspection department is not high, it occupies an important position in the county: "The state and county archers are arrested, and the people are safe." ”
This time, Pei Ziyun came, just for this "arrest of thieves", and then stepped forward to make a gesture, and got down to business: "My lord, before the student left for the prefectural exam, there were black wind thieves who came to the village to blackmail, and the law and order was not very stable. ”
When the inspection heard this, it turned out that this matter was pondering for a while.
Da Xu Chuli, the world is uneasy, there are a few thieves in the county, the inspection department is this responsibility, but the inspection department is not a short time to encircle, the township is the first to send archers to inspect, but the village is remote, no one goes, there are black wind thieves raging.
Since Pei Ziyun fell for Xiucai in this village, he betrayed his favor and sent someone to inspect for a period of time, so he said: "Xiucai came for this matter, and he should be allowed, but the world is just beginning, and the army is in the mainland, and there is a shortage in this remote place, so these thieves are wreaking havoc, and the official is very uneasy." ”
Speaking of this, he paused for a while before continuing: "Since there is danger in the village where Pei Xiucai lives, I will send someone to inspect it, but there are not many people." ”
"Of course, these are people who have been disarmed and retreated, although there are not many, I think this black wind thief will not dare to harass, after a while, this official will encircle and suppress the thieves one by one, and return a peace in the county and township. ”
Pei Ziyun is overjoyed, he is just a showman, this inspector is willing to admit his feelings, and he is willing to send a few people, which is already to give face, or for the sake of his youth, he may have to be promoted.
It was said that this inspection must also be an officer who had changed careers, and acted decisively, so he called a servant to come and ordered a team of archers to be notified to come, and after a while, someone came as ordered.
Pei Ziyun looked at it fixedly, and saw that the captain was burly, with a knife at his waist, his face was cold, and a long scar cut his face, with a hideous look.
The inspector looked at the captain and ordered: "Cao San, this is Pei Xiucai, you take a team and escort you to Woniu Village, and when you arrive, organize the village Yong on the spot and set up an inspection." ”
"No!" this Cao San must have been discharged from the army, and he responded loudly.
Cao San and Pei Ziyun went out, and Cao San said: "Pei Xiucai, if you want to go to Woniu Village, our team has to be busy with luggage and weapons, you go back to the inn first, and tomorrow morning, we will set off together!"
"This is natural!" Pei Ziyun said, seeing this person turn away, seeing his figure, he couldn't help but secretly ponder, revealing a sneer.
At the beginning of the world, the soldiers were like wolves and tigers, if the world was peaceful for 30 years, how could they be so rebellious?
But now what I want is this.
"Zhang Yuyu, you are a disciple of the Holy Prison Gate, this incident of the Silver Dragon Temple, after thinking about the cause and effect, you will understand that it was a set set by you, presumably these dozen or so talents have become the outer disciples of your Holy Prison Gate. ”
"Outer disciples, usually minions, entrenched in counties and townships, give blood transfusions to the Daomen!"
"Those who are gifted practice the Tao and enter the inner door. ”
"This is none of my business, but you designed me, and this Silver Dragon Temple is too dangerous for women's reputations, so it must be removed. ”
"This is a matter for the future, and now we must first uproot the Black Wind Thief, who bears the brunt of the attack. ”
"In the previous life, the original owner faintly heard the rumors, saying that the Black Wind Thief was also a minion raised by you, and it was too dangerous to have to be pulled out. ”
"The most important thing is that it is said that the Black Wind Thief also has a loose cultivator, who is your guest, and my task will have to be found on you. ”
"Zhang Yuyu, you calculate with me, and I repay you!"
Thinking of this, a small white plum appeared in front of him, and quickly enlarged, turning into a translucent data frame, floating in the field of vision with a faint sense of light, and the task appeared.
"Mission 1: Save Ye Su'er (Completed)"
"Task 2: Exam for Xiucai (to be completed)"
"Mission 3: Obtain the Ascetic's Sustenance (Unfinished)"
