Now seeing Xia Ru's good-tempered appearance, Yao'er secretly breathed a sigh of relief, a talkative Shangguan is always easy to get along with, but Xia Ru looked at her with a strange look, as if she had been famous for a long time, at first glance, she was very curious and playful, Yao'er noticed his eyes, and intuitively thought that it was because of his gossip.

But if you look closely, Yao'er can't see any warmth, envy or disdain in Xia Ru's gaze, Xia Ru's gaze has a taste of exploration, his eyes seem to contain some secrets, but it has absolutely nothing to do with what he likes to see.

Xia Ru quickly retracted her strange eyes and started talking to her seriously. Yao'er only learned what it means to be unseemly, and Xia Ru has already understood all about her resume, and she is even more familiar than Yao'er herself.

When it comes to business, his tone becomes sharper, without a word of gossip, and every question seems to be thoughtful and interlocking, and unconsciously makes your thoughts follow his thoughts, and there is no thought of resistance at all.

Yao'er couldn't help but secretly break his heart, this person is worthy of being a big man who has been immersed in officialdom for decades, although he is far less powerful than the nouveau riche who came to Zhongzhong like Yushitai, but he is sharp and introverted, and the city government is quite deep. After Xia Ru asked Yao'er about some things he needed to know, he said solemnly: "The king has summoned this official and talked about you, and the king has great expectations for you!" ”

Yao'er heard him mention the king, and owed slightly.

Xia Ru said again: "The crime committed by my own Yamen Shangshu has greatly damaged the vitality of this Yamen. Many positions are still vacant, with a shortage of staff and a backlog of cases. It's too late to deal with it, now that you are here to assist the official, the official is also very happy, and hopes that Changshi can fulfill his duties in office. Be diligent in political affairs, honest and honest! ”

Yao'er said: "The lower official respectfully obeys the teachings of the servant!" ”

Xia Ru nodded, and said: "There are four divisions under this ya: Kou Qing Palace Division, Metropolitan Officials Division, Bibu Division, and Division Division, and the Langzhong, Wailang, and Principals of each Division. They will always deal with you, and the ruler has summoned them, and you will see them. Get acquainted with each other! ”

Yao'er hurriedly got up and said, "Thank you for your help!" ”

Xia Ru said to a public servant waiting in front of the hall: "Call Cui Liangyu and let them in!" ”

After a while, Xia Ru had been summoned in advance. The four divisions, the outsiders, and the principals who were waiting under the door walked into the lobby one after another. Xia Ru stood up and introduced them one by one, such as Cui Liangyu in the right lang of the division, Sun Ye in the middle of the Duguan Lang, and Pi Huan in the middle of the Bibu Lang. Simon Langzhong Yan Hexi. Executioners, Wai Lang Zuo Yingtang, Cao Wushuang, etc.

There are four Lang Zhong and eight foreign officials in these departments alone, not to mention the sixteen directors, Yao'er listened to Xia Ru's introduction, and barely remembered the few officials of the Criminal Division he was in charge of, and the names of the officials of the other departments didn't matter, so he just bowed his hand first in a daze.

These officials were smiling when they saw Yao'er, and they were very enthusiastic about her, especially the few Lang Zhong of the Fourth Division. Talking cordially with Yao'er, laughter is popular. The lobby suddenly became lively.

Langzhong Cui Liangyu is about forty years old, with a slightly fat medium figure, big ears, and a blessed face, because he is in charge of Kou Qing's palace division with Yao'er, and they have the closest relationship with each other. In addition, among the four divisions, Kou Qing Gongsi is the leader, and he also has the highest status among his colleagues, so he laughs especially loudly.

"The name of Changshi, I have heard of it a long time ago, and I am deeply honored to be able to work with Changshi Tongya in the future, Changshi has just taken office today, and there are various rules and regulations, regulations and processes to be familiar with, then two days, after two Japanese officials are the east, I invite all colleagues to the banquet together, and hold a table for our Changshi to receive the wind."

Cui Liangyu said with a smile, arched his hand to Xia Ru again, and said, "I hope that the waiter can also appreciate it!" ”

Xia Ru smiled slightly, stroked his beard and said: "The old man is not good at drinking, and he doesn't like to talk and laugh, and when he puts aside his business, he is a stuffy gourd, won't it make you unhappy when he goes?" The official will not participate, if you and other colleagues are willing to have a lively time, it is up to you to go, but don't drink too much, which will affect the next day's office! ”

The officials laughed, saying "don't dare", Xia Ru smiled and said, "Okay, call you over, meet each other, get to know each other first, and the time to deal with each other in the future will be very long." Everyone has seen it, so let's disperse. Cui Langzhong, the affairs of the department should be dealt with, and you will also explain it to Changshi! ”

Cui Liangyu said repeatedly: "It is my duty! Bound! The waiter is busy, I'll wait for this to retreat! ”

Everyone saluted Cui Shilang, hugged Yao'er out of the office hall, and when they arrived at the corridor, all the officials confessed their crimes to Yao'er with a spring breeze, and then dispersed, and Cui Liangyu in the right lang of the executioner and Zuo Yingtang, Cao Wushuang and the four directors accompanied Yao'er back to Kou Qing's palace.

The whole yamen has a three-hall courtyard along the central axis, and the center point of the three-hall courtyard has a set of main buildings, which are the lobby, the second hall and the third hall of the yamen, and the offices of each department are arranged on the left and right across the courtyard. The Kou Qing Palace Department is the core department of the Kou Qing Palace, with the heaviest authority and the most complete staffing, so it has the largest building complex in the second courtyard.

Entering from the side door, there are countless courtyards in the large courtyard and small courtyard, which are the offices of officials such as the foreign officer, the director, the history of the order, and the history of the order. There is a large compound in the middle, which is the signing room of Changshi.

Entering the vermilion lacquer gate, you will see a complete relief mural on the whole wall opposite, in the painting is a strange beast surrounded by auspicious clouds, the shape resembles a unicorn, the body is as strong as a cow, the forehead has a single horn, the majestic is majestic, it is said that it can distinguish between right and wrong, can recognize good and evil, loyal and treacherous.

The four corners of the courtyard are each placed with a large water tank for fire extinguishing, there are water lilies planted in it, the green lotus leaves are spread all over the water surface, and a laurel tree is planted in the middle of the courtyard.

Cui Liangyu said with a smile to Yao'er: "Changshi, the signing room on the left is where the office is located, after learning that Changshi is about to take office, the official has been carefully cleaned, come, let's go in and sit, the officials of the department will come to see you soon!" ”

Yao'er followed him into his signing room. I looked at each room first. In the middle hall, there are two reception rooms, large and small. The left and right wings have ear rooms for the secretary and servants, and there is a large room for each of them. One is used as a private inner study, and the other is used as an office room, which is also separated by a sitting screen and a smaller space, with a built-in bed, where you can take a nap at lunch.

The two of them sat down in the study and only laughed and talked for a moment. In addition to the two members and four directors of the Kou Qing Palace Division, the subordinates of the palace secretary have just met, and the other nineteen order histories. Thirty-eight Shuling Shi, six pavilion chiefs, and ten Zhanggu came in batches to meet them.

Yao'er met them one by one. Unexpectedly, a division under Kou Qing Palace, there are more than 50 officials alone, if you add those servants and servants, this Kou Qing Palace Division is afraid that there will be hundreds of people? Think about it. This division is in charge of the prisons of the whole country. I was relieved.

Every time a group of people came in, Cui Liangyu introduced it to Yao'er. These people came forward to meet them, Yao'er said a few words of encouragement, this toss, and when all the officials finished meeting, it took nearly an hour, and when these people were all dispersed, suddenly a scribe wearing a green robe and a thin bamboo pole floated into the door. whispered a few words to Cui Liangyu. Cui Liangyu smiled apologetically at Yao'er when he heard this. got up and said, "There is a 'middle matter', which has been ten days. It must be 'ticked' today. Let's deal with it! ”

Yao'er couldn't understand these terms for a while, so she hurriedly got up and said, "Brother Cui, please!" ”

Cui Liangyu smiled at him and arched his hand, and left with the thin bamboo scribe. Yao'er smiled and watched him leave, very happy in her heart. Originally, she arrived at a strange yamen and came into contact with some completely unfamiliar affairs, which made her very apprehensive, but she didn't expect her colleagues here to get along so easily, and the tension in Yao'er's heart was swept away.

She sat quietly in the room for a while, there was no movement in the room, Yao'er couldn't help but feel a little strange in her heart, she got up and left the inner study, paced to the middle hall and looked out, only to see the door of Cui Langzhong's signing room opposite, people coming in and out, lively and extraordinary.

Not only the staff of the department, the history of the order, the secretary office, and even the officials of the Ministry and the Ministry of Justice, but also the Lin'an Mansion, the Shangqing Yuan, the Imperial History Observatory, and even some dusty servants who came from other places to hand over the case files, all went in and out of Cui Langzhong's signing room, but his own dignified chief Shi was cold, and the smile on his face couldn't help but be a little stiff.

"Maybe it's because their new officials have taken office, they don't know that the head of the department has taken office, I don't have a clue about all kinds of affairs, and I really can't do anything now."

Yao'er comforted herself like this, but when she saw those officials of the department who had just come to see her, once she came out of the opposite room and saw that she was standing on the opposite hall, her face showed a slightly unnatural look, and she deliberately avoided her gaze, and Yao'er gradually understood.

Kou Qing's palace secretary is generally concurrently served by Changshi, which is equivalent to a high match, and Yao'er parachuted down halfway, which is equivalent to blocking Cui Langzhong's promotion path, how can there be no hatred in his heart and not play some tricks......

For a long time, Yao'er has either dealt with people in the rivers and lakes, or dealt with the military generals of the imperial court, and then those powerful people in the court, but the temperament of these people is between the people in the rivers and lakes and the military generals, Yao'er's experience in dealing with such civil officials and yamen is unprecedented, and now she has seen it.

Yao'er stood there quietly, thought about it for a while, and suddenly smiled: "These readers are really interesting!" ”

……

Yao'er didn't stand in the hall for long, she slowly paced to her office, sat down behind the bookcase, put her hands to the side of the table, and suddenly felt that something was missing. Both hands gently stroked the black lacquer, smooth and flat tabletop, and Yao'er suddenly smiled dumbly: "Yes!" The four treasures of the study are missing. ”

Thinking about it carefully, Fang Cai seems to be the same in the study on the other side, although there is no case, but even the four treasures of the study, paper, ink, pen and inkstone, although this room seems to be fully furnished, but it is empty, there is no useful thing, this ...... It's too obvious, right?

Haruka sighed, stood up, and walked around the back of the screen, where there was a single couch for her to rest temporarily. The bedding on the couch is complete, and it is clean and dry to the touch, it seems that it has just been changed for her, look at this appearance, they just want to put her in the air in official affairs, and they don't want to embarrass her as for all kinds of treatment.

Yao'er took off her official boots, and she was not afraid that the official clothes would be wrinkled, so she lay down on the couch, pillowed her arms behind her head, and closed her eyes. Thinking about what happened to Fang Cai, Yao'er couldn't help but laugh at herself, she really couldn't blame others for this, it was she who thought things simple.

Not to mention others, at least Cui Liangyu, the right man in the company, how could he be so welcoming to the arrival of her little girl?

In other words, he worked hard for many years, and there was a vacant position in front of him, and he was only one step away from being able to sit on it with a little more effort, but a person came down out of thin air and cut off his hope. This person is not only a junior, but also has no achievements in this industry, and is even more hateful a woman, is he convinced?

However, if it was just Cui Liangyu making a fuss alone, looking at this situation, it was the entire Kou Qing Palace that joined forces to give her a face as an outsider. If it was the entire Kou Qing Palace that joined forces to squeeze out her, could it be that this was from Xia Shilang's instructions, and Cui Liangyu was just an executor?

Yao'er thought about it for a long time, but she couldn't figure it out. She had just arrived, and she didn't know anything about Kou Qing Palace, and now although she understood that people didn't welcome her arrival, she couldn't immediately figure out who was leading the way.

If you want to say that Kou Qinggong is a monolith, she doesn't believe it, as long as there is fame and fortune there, which yamen is not fighting for power and profit, forming gangs? Kou Qing Palace is no exception, and now it is just that in the face of this outsider who rode on everyone's head, everyone temporarily cooperated and hated the same enemy.

"It's going to be hard for me, huh! Who's afraid of whom! Sister, I'm up for the battle! ”

Yao'er sneered: "I think when I first entered the palace, those sisters and brothers who were in trouble with slaves were also embarrassed, and the existing lives were lost in Huangquan, and some became my best friends, but it's a pity, the main hall of this Kou Qing Palace is full of gentlemen, and there is only one woman!" Otherwise, it's better to find someone to talk to......"

At the door, a yacha walked in quietly, looked in, but didn't see the shadow of the new chief historian, only heard someone behind the screen holding a woman's voice, humming and singing: "Say you're stupid, you're not stupid, but you act like a big fool!" Be careful, let's cut the cold melon with a knife, and chirp ......" (to be continued......
