Qingyang County, all Chen Xiao's enemies all know that Chen Xiao did not pass the exam.

Therefore, they are all gearing up and ready to clean up the Chen family.

Especially Luo Qianqian and Wei Dianshi, they can't wait to eat the Chen family and Chen Xiao alive.

Now, without any worries, they no longer forbear, and began to attack the Chen family from all aspects.

And at this moment, the Chen family.

Chen Wenshan heard the news that Chen Xiao was not promoted, and he only sighed and said:

"Alas, I should have guessed a long time ago, how could our Xiao'er be lifted? If you really win the lift, I Chen Wenshan will eat poop upside down! ”

Chen on the side frowned: "What's wrong with not hitting?" Just because I didn't win doesn't mean my son isn't good! ”

"That's ......" Chen Wenshan nodded, but sighed again:

"I didn't get promoted, I didn't have the opportunity to be an official, hey...... I'm afraid my Chen family is ...... finish."

As soon as he finished speaking, a subordinate came in and said, "Oh no, master, we have two shops, which have been seized by the yamen." ”

Chen Wenshan's face changed: "How can this be?" ”

"Master, they said that there is a problem with our shop, and it may be suspected of smuggling salt, and it needs to ......be investigated," replied the man.

Chen Wenshan was stunned: "My cloth shop is suspected of smuggling salt?" He's neurotic? ”

This is obviously to deal with him Chen family, and Chen Wenshan is not a fool, so he understands it very well.

But what could he do? The more he has been an official, the more he understands how easy it is for the yamen to deal with him.

"That's it, you can't fight...... I hope they can show mercy and don't let our family be too miserable......"

……

Imperial Capital!

Chen Xiao is now a lifter, or the head of the first Jieyuan, this big ups and downs has made him slow down for a long time.

That's not all, I was chatting with Long Jiuling in the restaurant, and the officials suddenly came to the ministry, and after seeing Chen Xiao in the room, he took out a document, which was actually a document to appoint him as the official of the Imperial Capital Mansion.

This made Chen Xiao stunned again, even if he was the head of the first Jieyuan, it was impossible to be an official from the sixth grade, right?

This pusher, in the Imperial Capital Mansion, is basically ranked fifth.

In front of him, there is the Zheng Sanpin Imperial Capital Mansion Yin, the Zheng Fourth Rank Imperial Capital Mansion Cheng, the Zheng Fifth Rank Imperial Capital Mansion Zhizhong, and the Sixth Rank Imperial Capital Mansion General Judgment, and then there is the official from the sixth grade.

This is not a petty official, Chen Xiao really couldn't believe it, and read the documents again and again, so he was sure.

Then he took a deep breath and accepted it gladly.

"Master Xie Yuan, the Ministry of Officials informs you that you will go to the Ministry of Officials tomorrow to receive the official printing documents and official uniforms, and take office immediately." The little official spoke.

Chen Xiao gave the little official a few taels of silver and said, "Thank you!" ”

After the little official left, Chen Xiao smiled and said to Long Jiuling: "Fortunately, I am not dishonored!" ”

Long Jiuling was also very happy: "I knew that you would definitely pass the exam." ”

In the evening, Chen Xiao cooked by himself, and after having a delicious meal with the fat man of Long Jiuling, he continued to do business.

At this time, Xiao Er said that the guest on the second floor came again.

Chen Xiao went to the private room on the second floor, glanced at the emperor, and said, "I invite you to drink the wine for free today!" ”

"Something good?" The Emperor smiled.

Chen Xiao said: "Guess? ”

"Lifted?" The emperor said.

Chen Xiao was stunned: "You also know?" ”

"Haha, I guess you're probably still an official." The Emperor said.

Chen Xiao was surprised: "Brother Niu, I'm going to go to the Imperial Capital Mansion to serve as a magistrate." ”

"Well, good job. By the way, that Imperial Capital Mansion Yin doesn't seem to be a good thing. The emperor said.

Chen Xiao nodded: "It's almost, anyway, the general judgment of the Imperial Capital Mansion is not a good thing." ”

"You're a magistrate now, do you want to investigate them? If they're guilty, you're doing a great job! The Emperor began to guide.

Chen Xiao said: "What the do you still need to talk about? Lao Tzu tells you that Lao Tzu is an official just to clean up these bastard things. The water in this officialdom is too deep and muddy.

My father was a county magistrate, because he offended someone, and he was dismissed without investigating whether he was guilty or not, so ah, this imperial capital is sentenced, and the government Yin has problems, and if it is not good, it will be more involved. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Xiao sighed: "Hey, what am I telling you to do with this, you know a hammer." ”

The emperor took a deep breath and said, "The water in the officialdom is so deep and muddy that I can't see it clearly......"

Chen Xiao drank a glass of wine: "Of course you can't see clearly, I can see clearly, since Lao Tzu has also entered this pool of water, you have to stir it up, either it will become more and more muddy, or, it will become clear!" ”

The emperor smiled: "Ambitious." ”

Chen Xiao smiled and continued to drink with the emperor.

Today, the emperor paid attention, didn't drink a few glasses, and left the restaurant.

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, Chen Xiao went to the ministry.

The Yamen of the Ministry of Officials is very large and magnificent, and after entering, countless officials are busy.

He identified himself, was taken to register by the officials, and after receiving the official seal and official uniform and documents, he returned to the restaurant.

Looking at the documents and official seals in his hands, Chen Xiao was full of emotion.

Immediately changed into an official uniform in the room, and asked Long Jiuling to see if it fits.

The official uniform is the same as that of the Ming Dynasty, the six-rank official is a cyan official uniform, and there is a round complement in front of the belly, and the complement is embroidered with the six-rank official heron.

After wearing it, Chen Xiao looks more youthful and energetic, and has majesty.

Straighten up your clothes and put on your hat again.

This official hat is also the same as the black gauze hat of the Ming Dynasty, low in front and high in the back, and there is an oblong oval wing on the left and right of the head, with a net scarf in the hat and a hair tirdle.

Not to mention, as soon as you wear the official uniform and the black gauze hat, you will have an aura immediately.

Long Jiuling looked at Chen Xiao's appearance, and was in a daze for a while, because Chen Xiao was quite handsome at the moment.

The fat man was also surprised and said, "Ah, it feels very good!" ”

Chen Xiao smiled and said, "I have to go to the government to report." ”

"Now that you're an official, you can't lose your faction, I'll hire you a carriage." The fat man said and went.

Not long after, Chen Xiao took a carriage to the yamen of the imperial capital.

Outside the huge Imperial Capital Mansion, Chen Xiao got out of the carriage and strode into the gate of the Imperial Capital Mansion, and the left and right soap officials bowed down one after another: "My lord! ”

Chen Xiao tried not to let himself have any smug expression, but just hummed.

Entering the mansion, a small official immediately came: "I've seen adults, but I don't know ...... adults."

"This official is the newly appointed pusher!" Chen Xiao spoke.

"Oh, Master Tuiguan, your Yamen Punishment Hall is on the west side of the Yamen." The clerk replied.

The magistrate has a separate small yamen, which is the Torture Hall, and Chen Xiao will have to work in the Torture Hall in the future.

So the little officer took him with him.

When he arrived at the Torture Hall, Chen Xiao looked at the yamen, which was not bad, and nodded with satisfaction.

The little official said: "Master Tuiguan, you are here first, a few younger." Go and call your officials and see you! ”

Chen Xiao nodded: "Okay, you should pretend to be forced...... Oh no, it should be seen! ”

So the little official left, first went to the prison department, and said to the newly appointed prison officer: "Lord prison, the new magistrate is here, you go and see it!" ”

The new prison is Li Pingzhi, he also came in the morning, and he was chattering in the small office room of his prison director, and when he heard the words to meet the magistrate, he quickly nodded and came to Chen Xiao's yamen.
