Chapter Fifty-Seven: Return to the Heart

In the next two or three days, Jiang Xiaobai only did two things. The first is to settle Shen Yu and Liu Lingba's family, and the other is to stay in the room and look through the various files stored by the White Tiger Ya

Jiang Xiaobai knew in his heart that it was far from enough to just know the current situation, if he wanted to gain a firm foothold here and govern this department well, he must thoroughly understand Baihu Ya from the roots.

And the dozens of files piled up on the desk in front of him helped him get a good glimpse of the whole picture of the White Tiger Ya.

These pamphlets clearly record the history of the White Tiger Ya from the early days of its establishment to the decades before its abandonment, the events it has experienced, and the cases it has handled, all of which are recorded in detail.

From these files, Jiang Xiaobai understood the wind and rain that a special institution has to face, not only the swords and blood on the surface, but also the conspiracy and tricks in the secret. Looking further back, he was even more surprised to find that in the past few decades, the great turmoil that has occurred in the martial arts that has endangered the imperial court has been all caused by the White Tiger Ya to turn the tide and defend the stability of the Yue Kingdom. It is no exaggeration to say that the White Tiger Ya was the nightmare of the martial arts counterforces at that time, and all the plans and conspiracies that tried to rebel were stifled one by one.

It's hard to imagine how such a prestigious and hard-working institution could have decayed into what it is today. If it was really a sentence from the imperial court, it began to be deserted, then the Yue Kingdom would inevitably be too unloading and killing donkeys.

Perhaps, the last volume of the dossier will have an answer.

And when Jiang Xiaobai opened the last volume of the file, he found that it was only a simple record of "Yonghe twenty-one years, Baihu Ya made immortal contributions", and there was nothing else.

"Yonghe twenty-one years..."Jiang Xiaobai roughly calculated, it was fifteen years ago. But what happened to the Yue Kingdom fifteen years ago, and why did the White Tiger Ya, who had made immortal achievements, not be rewarded, but began to be deserted? Why are there no detailed records of the twists and turns in the archives?

Out of curiosity, Jiang Xiaobai kept this mysterious year in his heart, and only then did he stretch his waist, and then heard a knock on the door: "Director Jiang, the commander has invited the adult study." ”

Jiang Xiaobai closed the file, a smile appeared on his lips, this Shi Wenfu finally couldn't sit still.

....

The study room mentioned here is not a study in the real sense, but a place where the commander and the envoy do daily errands and give orders, in modern terms, that is the exclusive office of the commander of the White Tiger Ya, and the subordinates are never allowed to enter without permission unless they have consent.

The room is very spacious, and there are many large bookshelves placed on all sides, all of which are pitch black, looking simple and elegant, and it has been some years. In the center is a large black bookcase, on which there is a row of iron arrows, black and cold, symbolizing the majesty of the commander.

And directly above the bookcase, there is also a plaque, engraved with the four big characters of "Rest and Calm People".

When Jiang Xiaobai walked into the house, Shi Wenfu was wielding ink, and Shao Yifei, the director of the four places, was watching from the sidelines. I don't know if they were too focused, neither of them looked up, and neither of them seemed to notice Jiang Xiaobai.

Seeing this, Jiang Xiaobai knew that Shi Wenfu was deliberately drying him, and he was not in a hurry, so he just stood aside with a smile and waited.

After another half an hour, Shi Wenfu finally put down his pen and ink, admired the words he had just written, and after being intoxicated for a while, he raised his head, saw Jiang Xiaobai, his face was surprised, and he said in surprise: "Master Jiang is here?" I didn't say anything when I arrived. ”

After that, he patted his head and said with a smile, "Look at it, it's all my fault!" I just have this hobby.,I accidentally fell into a trance.,I didn't notice you're coming.。 ”

Jiang Xiaobai saw it in his eyes, and he laughed in his heart, this Shi Wenfu has no political achievements as an official, and he acted well, so he laughed lightly and replied: "I have just arrived at the humble position, and I can't bear to disturb when I see my adult so attentive." ”

After hearing this, Shi Wenfu thought that Jiang Xiaobai was hindered by his official rank and did not dare to complain, so he nodded proudly and said slowly: "Director Jiang has been in the White Tiger Ya for two or three days, but are you still used to it?" ”

"Everything is good, thank you for your concern." As soon as Jiang Xiaobai raised his hand, he smiled evilly, "In the past few days, I have been busy studying all kinds of archives in the yali. If I could, I would like to be as casual and elegant as an adult~"

When Shi Wenfu heard this, he secretly thought in his heart: "Okay, you Jiang Xiaobai, this is ridiculing the official for making ink and ignoring political affairs?!" ”

Immediately, his brows furrowed, and his face sank: "Leisurely and elegant? Hmph, I don't think that's what you think! ”

Jiang Xiaobai smiled faintly: "I don't really understand what adults mean. ”

"Recently, there have been more people in the ya, and there is less silver in the account room..."Shi Wenfu raised his eyebrows and looked directly at Jiang Xiaobai, and said coldly, "I don't think you don't know what's going on, right?" ”

Of course, Jiang Xiaobai knew about this, what Shi Wenfu said was Bai Qi and the others and the one hundred and forty or fifty taels of silver advanced to Liu Lingba, and he also expected that Shi Wenfu would definitely not be able to sit still after knowing about it, and wanted to talk to him.

However, Jiang Xiaobai didn't intend to explain in detail, but replied with a light smile: "Lord Hui, personnel and money are all within the responsibilities of subordinates, and all lowly duties are also recorded. If you suspect that I am enriching my own pockets or abusing my power for personal gain, you can check the personnel files and account books."

When Shi Wenfu heard this, he suddenly became angry in his heart, of course he had checked it, otherwise he would not have known about it. This is also where he is extremely dissatisfied with Jiang Xiaobai, as a principal, he didn't report before and after the work, which simply didn't take him as a commander!

Shi Wenfu had a dark face and suddenly got up: "What's the matter with those two women?!" I wanted to go and see it yesterday, but I was stopped from the door, saying that no one was allowed to approach without your order. ”

At this point, he slapped the table and said angrily, "Do you still take my commander in your eyes!" ”

Is this talking about Shen Yu and Liu Lingba's mother? Jiang Xiaobai raised the corners of his eyebrows, and it was indeed his arrangement to let Bai Qi and Liu Lingba guard the door, in order not to disturb them.

In this regard, Jiang Xiaobai had already prepared his words, and replied with a light smile: "My lord, please calm your anger, those two women are important witnesses in a single case. The lowly duty is entrusted by others, to protect the two of them, offending the adult, it is not the will of the lowly duty, and I hope that Lord Shi will forgive me. ”

Shi Wenfu was dumbfounded for a while, but he secretly thought to himself in his heart: "Joke! If the White Tiger Ya has handled a case, how can I not know it? He immediately smiled coldly, "Oh? Tell me who commissioned it. ”

Jiang Xiaobai raised his hand and replied, "Lord Hui, that person once told me to keep this matter a secret. ”

Shi Wenfu hadn't spoken yet, and Shao Yifei, who was standing on the side, had already shouted: "Master Jiang, pay attention to your attitude of speaking, the person sitting in front of you is the commander of the White Tiger Ya!" ”

Jiang Xiaobai's expression was indifferent, and he raised his eyebrows and asked, "Then what is the attitude of Director Shao to speak to me?" ”

"You!" Shao Yifei glared angrily, wanting to say something, but he felt speechless, and finally only turned into a cold snort.

Jiang Xiaobai smiled secretly in his heart, a reckless man is a reckless man, although he is also in the main position, but he is the nominal deputy commander! Shao Yifei's anger is tantamount to lifting a stone to shoot himself in the foot.

Shi Wenfu glared at Shao Yifei fiercely, signaled not to talk nonsense, and then said gloomily: "Master Jiang, no matter who you are entrusted with, but this is the White Tiger Ya after all!" If you don't say it, you're hiding it, and the ruler will punish you. ”

After speaking, Jiang Xiaobai's face suddenly showed a twisted expression, and he said, "My lord... Really want to know? ”

"What do you say?!" When Shi Wenfu saw Jiang Xiaobai's embarrassment, he thought that Jiang Xiaobai couldn't lie, but he didn't feel refreshed, and he was a little more majestic when he spoke. He was already dissatisfied with Jiang Xiaobai, and at this time he was already thinking about how to declare his personal vendetta.

I heard Jiang Xiaobai sigh: "Since that's the case... That humble duty can no longer be hidden..."After a pause, he suddenly smiled, "It's the Criminal Health Division." ”

"Punishment. Criminal Health Division?! Shi Wenfu opened his mouth, his face full of consternation. He didn't want to believe it, but thinking of Jiang Xiaobai's airborne identity, he had a little more doubts in his heart. Squinted at Fanjiang Xiaobai, he couldn't help but think: "Could it be that this kid is really from the Criminal Department?" ”

made a decision right away, before Jiang Xiaobai's background was clarified, it was better not to tear his face, because of the criminal department, he couldn't afford to provoke him.

While thinking about it, seeing that Jiang Xiaobai was also looking at him at this time, with a slight smile on his face, Shi Wenfu finally understood, it turned out that Jiang Xiaobai's embarrassment was all pretended, just to play tricks on himself.

"How can it be!" Shi Wenfu was annoyed and ashamed, and scolded angrily in his heart, but he held back his temper and asked, "Really?" ”

"Your Excellency can send someone to the Criminal Health Department to ask about it, and you will know whether what you say is true or false." Jiang Xiaobai smiled and replied lightly.

The reason why he was brought out of the Criminal Guard Division was because before today, he had already figured out Shi Wenfu's temperament to Xiao Nengshou - bullying the weak and fearing the hard, and the Criminal Guard Division was the best shield.

There are two reasons, one is that after the desertion of the Siya, the Criminal Health Department has become the most powerful secret official agency in the Yue Kingdom with the support of the Criminal Department. The second is that because of the rules of the secret officials' institutions, it is impossible for Shi Wenfu to go to the Criminal Health Department to find out the truth of this matter.

Sure enough, after Shi Wenfu heard the Criminal Health Division, his face softened a lot for a moment, and he chuckled: "That's not necessary, this official believes you." Merely... If there is any such matter in the future, you need to report it to me, after all, I am still the commander of the White Tiger Ya. ”

Hearing this reply, Jiang Xiaobai knew that Shi Wenfu had compromised, so he said respectfully: "Yes!" The teachings of adults are kept in mind. After that, he laughed lightly again, "There is still something to do with the lowly position, if the adult has nothing else to do, then the lowly position will be retired first." ”

Although the words were respectful, Shi Wenfu didn't have a taste in his ears, but he still held back his temperament, waved his hand and said, "Go down." ”

As soon as Jiang Xiaobai left, Shao Yifei couldn't help but say angrily: "Damn, what a thing!" I don't think he takes you seriously at all! ”

"Newborn calves are more than fearful!" Shi Wenfu snorted coldly, a chill flashed in his eyes, "Yifei, go check the bottom of this kid, I want to see who is supporting him!" ”

....

Jiang Xiaobai did have something to do, because he received a banquet from Zhao Shun.
