There was an uproar in the hall, and Xiao Nengshou was even more shocked when he saw Jiang Xiaobai's black tiger order, slapped his head, and said secretly in his heart: "Isn't it usually quite eye-catching, why did you miss your eyes this time!?" Oops, it's over now..."Thinking of what he had said to Jiang Xiaobai before, Xiao Nengshou felt that his scalp was numb, and he couldn't wait to shave his ears on the spot.

A trace of anger flashed on the middle-aged man's face, and then he smiled and said: "It turns out that it is really Master Jiang's business, why don't you say hello when you come, welcome, welcome... We are Shi Wenfu. ”

Fang Cai still had a threatening face, and in a blink of an eye, he was full of smiles, this set of officialdom is very skilled. Jiang Xiaobai secretly sneered, but still had a faint smile on his face, and bowed: "Master Shi." ”

At this time, the other three people standing in the main hall also introduced:

"Si Wei, now he is the director of the second department."

"Three principals, Fang Yun."

"The former deputy colonel of the Yingzi Battalion, the current head of the White Tiger Ya, Shao Yifei."

The indifferent attitude is surprisingly consistent, especially Shao Yifei, the director of the four places, and the original official position is also reported in the introduction, and the provocation is self-evident.

Jiang Xiaobai smiled indifferently, hugged his fists one by one, and said: "No matter in terms of age or qualifications, you are all my predecessors, please give me more guidance and help in the future." ”

"Alas, Director Jiang is modest, and he can serve as one of the directors of our White Tiger Ya at a young age, which can be said to be young and promising." Shi Wenfu smiled and said, "Director Jiang has just arrived, so today I will let someone take you around the yali and familiarize yourself with the affairs." After saying that, he pointed to Xiao Neng Shoudao, "Neng Shou, take Director Jiang to visit." ”

"Ahh I?! "Xiao Nengshou even has the heart to cry now, there are more than 30 people in the hall, why did they choose him... But he had no choice but to say, "Yes..."

After a few people exchanged greetings again, Shi Wenfu ordered everyone to disperse. Jiang Xiaobai walked up to Xiao Nengshou with a smile on his face, put one hand on his shoulder, and asked with a smile, "Boss Xiao, where are we going first?" ”

Xiao Nengshou listened, only to feel that Jiang Xiaobai's hand on his shoulder seemed to weigh a thousand catties, his body was weak, and he almost fell to the ground, and hurriedly said: "No... No... You're the boss. After that, he knelt down again and said, "My lord, spare my life!" The subordinates are all unintentional, and they don't mean to offend you! Adults don't remember villains, the prime minister can hold the boat in his belly, so spare his subordinates this time! ”

"Oh? Listen to the meaning of your words, if I don't spare you, it seems that I have no stomach? Jiang Xiaobai asked again with a smile.

"It's... Top dog! I didn't mean that..."Xiao Nengshou said with a bitter face.

"Okay, I didn't blame you in the first place." Jiang Xiaobai lifted Xiao Nengshou with one hand and said with a smile, "Hurry up and take me to the yali for a walk." ”

Along the way after that, Xiao Nengshou was trembling, and secretly observed Jiang Xiaobai's expression from time to time. Based on his cognition, Jiang Xiaobai should be angry at his disrespectfulness before he can be... But the new director always had an inscrutable smile on his face, and he was neither punished nor blamed, which made him even more unsteady...

Although Xiao Nengshou was apprehensive all the way, his "tour guide" was very competent, and he explained the operation and role of various departments in the yali in great detail. After listening to his explanation, Jiang Xiaobai also had a deeper understanding of the White Tiger Ya, and at the same time, he couldn't help but sigh.

Today's White Tiger Ya has outdated equipment and insufficient manpower, not to mention that even key departments such as the Intelligence Department, the Criminal Trial Department, and the Supervision Department are also on hold, not to mention logistics departments such as the Training Department and the Pharmacy Department. After years of abandonment, this special institution full of historical heritage has lost its former pomp, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a waste waiting to be rebuilt.

...

After the two returned to the room, as soon as Jiang Xiaobai sat down, Xiao Nengshou had already made tea and served it, and said diligently: "Boss, please use tea!" ”

Jiang Xiaobai bowed slightly, took a sip of tea, and said, "Why is the White Tiger Ya called killing, is there any reason for this?" ”

"This name didn't come in the first place, it was given later." Xiao Nengshou has completely lost the aura he had when he first saw Jiang Xiaobai, and his attitude was very respectful, explaining, "When the White Tiger Ya was first built, the personnel were all people from the rivers and lakes. At first, the White Tiger Ya was once looked down upon, because the royal family, officials, and even other people in the three yamen at that time did not think that the yamen composed of a group of dissolute and unruly Jianghu people could do anything in an orderly manner. ”

"They may have forgotten that Emperor Yue Hao was able to fight a bloody way at the southern end of the Central Plains, relying on this group of unruly Jianghu people." Jiang Xiaobai smiled.

"Not really!" Xiao Nengshou continued, "After that, the performance of the White Tiger Ya can be said to have slapped these people in the face. With the conscientious efforts of the ancestors, the White Tiger Ya has handled countless cases, repeatedly performed miraculous feats, and has been in the limelight for a while, and even has a faint tendency to become the head of the four ya. At this point, no one dared to look down on the White Tiger Ya for half a point, and the White Tiger Ya also won the reputation of killing. ”

When Jiang Xiaobai heard this, he also felt a lot of emotion in his heart, such a prestigious institution, how can there still be half a shadow of the past...

After pondering for a while, Jiang Xiaobai said again: "Since the White Tiger Ya has such a glorious history, why do you say that you came to the White Tiger Ya because I carried it a little?" ”

"This..."Xiao Nengshou's expression was twisted, and he said with some embarrassment, "I'm afraid that you don't like to hear the boss..."

Jiang Xiaobai glanced at it and said, "If you say it, you can say it." ”

"Yes!" Xiao Nengshou smiled bitterly, "In fact, the royal family has always regarded Qinglong as the head of the four ya, and the investment in the white tiger yaya is the least. At that time, the ability to overwhelm the other three was also due to the painstaking struggle of the ancestors of the past generations. Although the White Tiger Ya has made countless contributions, the Royal Family's investment in the Four Yas, the White Tiger Ya is still the least. Therefore, in the past few years since the imperial court successively restarted the four ya, the reconstruction of the White Tiger Ya was the slowest, and the rest of the three yaya have been rebuilt, but the White Tiger Ya is still such a depressed scene... The officials who were arranged by the imperial court to serve in the White Tiger Ya saw that this was the case, and they were naturally unlucky, so they planned to live a comfortable life of receiving the leaders and drinking tea and amusing themselves. ”

The royal family's approach to the White Tiger Ya may not be understood, and some people will shout injustice for the White Tiger Ya, but Jiang Xiaobai is very clear about this. Although the Yue Kingdom is based on martial arts for a living, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the excessive power of the rivers and lakes will inevitably become a problem for the imperial court. And the White Tiger Ya was originally formed by a group of martial arts people, and the power was so special that it was impossible for the royal family to let it sit big.

Some people may wonder if the imperial court is so afraid of the White Tiger Ya sitting big, why did it have to be set up in the first place, and the three Ya will be over directly. At first, Jiang Xiaobai didn't understand, but after thinking about it carefully, he was relieved. At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the royal family of the Yue Kingdom was far from being as centralized as it is now, and the establishment of the White Tiger Ya was to check and balance the remaining three Ya, and the second was to appease the martial arts forces at that time, so as to tell everyone in the rivers and lakes that they would not do anything about the Yue family going to cross the river and tear down the bridge.

Perhaps worried about Jiang Xiaobai's mood after hearing this, Xiao Nengshou added: "But don't be sad, boss, although our Baihu Ya is not as good as before, the case-handling methods, training systems, coercive confession methods, and pharmaceutical formulas left by our ancestors are all completely preserved." The boss has taken on the role of a principal at such a young age, and he must be able to make a difference. ”

"Less sycophants." Jiang Xiaobai scolded with a smile.

Although Xiao Nengshou's words are mostly polite, what he said is not wrong. Although today's White Tiger Ya has outdated equipment and insufficient personnel, what remains is the core part. Whether it is an army or an institution, as long as its soul is still there, it will never fall to the point of collapse.

By now, Jiang Xiaobai finally understood the meaningful words of the third prince.

Although the imperial court does not attach importance to the White Tiger Ya, his "relational household" should be able to ask for some resources from the hands of the third prince, the royal family. After all, the third prince placed him in such a special institution as the head of the department just by one side, and he will definitely have his selfishness.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xiaobai also had some confidence in the future, so he asked again: "Among the powers of the four ya, which part of the white tiger yaya is responsible for, and what are my responsibilities as the head of this place?" ”

"Originally, it was responsible for monitoring and dealing with the uneasy forces in the rivers and lakes, but after the restart of the Siya in recent years, it is not so clear, protecting royal officials, dealing with enemy spies, and supervising hundreds of officials in the imperial court are all within the scope of authority." Speaking of this, Xiao Nengshou seemed to have a dry mouth, so he looked at the teacup on the desk.

Jiang Xiaobai smiled after seeing it and said, "Drink." ”

Xiao Nengshou hurriedly poured himself a cup of tea, and after drinking it all, he said: "As for the responsibility of a principal, he is in charge of money, silver, personnel, and assisting the commander to preside over the daily operation of the yali, so it can be said that he is the deputy commander of the yali." ”

From this point of view, the down-and-out White Tiger Ya is much more powerful than it was in the glorious period, and the weight of a principal in the Ya is far heavier than imagined.

Jiang Xiaobai nodded, and suddenly changed his words, and said, "Lord Shi seems to have a big opinion of me?" ”

Jiang Xiaobai asked this for no reason, he is not a fool, he naturally knows that there are struggles everywhere above the officialdom. From what Gu Feng said, it can be known that although the White Tiger Ya is in depression today, there are many people competing for his position. One of his airborne main things must have violated the interests of some people, and the best reflection of this is the attitude of Shi Wenfu, Shao Yifei, Fang Yun and others towards him in the main hall.

Shi Wenfu's words at the beginning, although they seemed to be joking, could make people preconceived, so that the subordinates in the yali had a bad impression of him. This is also why he appeared in a fanfare way to break Shi Wenfu's seemingly joked trap.

If he wants to gain a firm foothold, he Jiang Xiaobai must understand the deeper situation in the White Tiger Yali, and Xiao Nengshou is a good starting point. Because judging from his words and deeds, Xiao Nengshou seems to be very disgusted with officials like Shi Wenfu.

Seeing that Xiao Nengshou's expression suddenly became nervous, but he only muttered for a while, and then lowered his voice and said: "Boss, I really don't know if I ask others about this, but I know it very well... In this position of the principal, Lord Shi has been planning for his nephew for a long time, and the relationship between the officials has also been dotted a lot. Now that you are the boss, you have taken this position, do you think he can be comfortable? ”

After that, Xiao Nengshou added: "What I said is not to stir up discord, it is all true..."

Xiao Nengshou is not a fool, he naturally understands the meaning of Jiang Xiaobai's words, that is, to seize power! Shi Wenfu has been planning for the position of a principal for so long, but he was snatched out of thin air by the young man in front of him, if you want to say that this new chief has no background behind him, then no one will believe it. Since they all have to face standing in line, it is better to choose a young, backgrounded, and ambitious Jiang Xiaobai than to choose an official like Shi Wenfu to eat and wait for death in the White Tiger Ya. Therefore, without hesitating for too long, he submitted his nomination.

"I believe in you." Jiang Xiaobai smiled and said, "I also asked casually, I didn't expect you to really know." ”

Hearing this reply, Xiao Nengshou's heart finally breathed a sigh of relief, and at the same time, he was also glad that Jiang Xiaobai accepted him, and his face regained a little pride, and said: "Boss, I don't dare to say anything else, but I can't find a second one in the capital for this know-it-all skill." ”

Jiang Xiaobai let out an "oh" and asked with a smile: "Then do you know that a few days ago, the Ding of the Zhao Mansion in Zhengyangmen, Kyoto, beat a woman on the street?" ”
