"Lu Jin, the word is good at thinking, Nanzhili Suzhou Mansion people's family, born in the 21st year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty......" With the slight movement of the wrist, a column of neat small letters flowed out of the pen, and the person who wrote the pen was Lu Jin.

Although he already had the intention of being a low-key person and not fighting with those officials in the yamen, he did not do nothing because of this, and was a waste wood waiting for death. Lu Zhen knew very well that if he wanted to continue to live well in the Daming realm without being recognized by others in this capacity, he had to master some things that belonged to this era, and understand everything about the original Lu County Order in more detail and comprehensively, so that he could pretend that people could not see too obvious flaws.

Fortunately, because of his family history, Lu Zhen has practiced a good calligraphy since he was a child, which can come in handy at this moment, without having to cram. However, after reading some of the contents of the books left by Lu County's order, he was a little embarrassed.

thought that with the abundant supply of paper in later generations, he would not be much weaker than the other party in calligraphy, but it was not until he saw some of the things that Lu Xianling wrote on weekdays that he realized how arrogant he was. Those small block letters that are all over the paper, like printed letters, are really heartbreaking.

In fact, this is indeed Lu Jin's underestimation of the ancients, you must know that the scholars who can get results in the imperial examination are all good writers, otherwise no matter how good your article is, that messy writing will not enter the examiner's eyes at all, and you will be eliminated directly. Although there was no later pavilion style at this time, scholars, especially candidates, had already developed the habit of writing in small block letters as neatly as printed matter.

And this Lu County Commander has brought this habit of examination to life and work, and all the books are neatly written. So if Lu Zhen wants to dress him up, he must learn this word as soon as possible.

Fortunately, Lu Jin's calligraphy skills are not weak, and with more practice, he can make do with the words, but he is not so smooth when writing. At this time, Lu Zhen was practicing calligraphy in his public house, but what he copied was Lu County's order.

The so-called confession is the official's letter of appointment and proof of identity, and when the official takes office, it is by virtue of this and the documents of the boss's yamen that he can be recognized. There is not only the official's name and place of origin, but also a rough description of his appearance and height, which is an effective means of preventing counterfeiting in ancient times without camera technology.

Now Lu Zhen has copied and told himself in small letters, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone, not only practicing calligraphy, but also memorizing some specific situations of Lu County's order, so it will be much easier to deal with official things in the future. Of course, these are far from enough, and he still has to explore the rules in some officialdom to get used to it, so during these days, he still has to be low-key and more low-key.

Soon, a piece of paper was written all over it, and after drying the ink on it and examining it carefully, a satisfied smile appeared on Lu Jin's face. After a few days of practice, his handwriting is already seven or eight points similar to Lu County's order, and fortunately, the other party has always written neatly, otherwise it would not be so easy to learn to imitate.

Just as he smiled and picked up the tea bowl on the side and was about to take a sip of tea to rest, a greeting suddenly came from outside the door: "Zheng Fu of the Xiaguandian Shi asks to see the county lord." ”

Lu Zhen was obviously stunned for a moment, when these so-called subordinates came to see him before, they all pushed the door directly and entered, and there was really no one who was as respectful and behaving as in front of him. And as far as he knew, compared to Hou Xiancheng and Shen Zhushu, Zheng Dianshi, who had never dealt with him much, had more influence in the yamen.

According to the rules and regulations of the county yali, the canon is the second official ranked after the main book, so he is always called the fourth lord by people inside and outside the yamen - the county order is the eldest master, the county is the second master, and the main book is the third master - this position is in charge of the county's prison soldiers and bandits, which is equivalent to the later director of public security, plus the militia captain, but in fact, his authority is greater, and sometimes even many cases are directly judged by the canon.

As far as the situation in Guangling County is concerned, Zheng Fu, who inherited the position of classic history from his father, is not only very familiar with people inside and outside the yamen, but also has a close relationship with the generals stationed in the city.

You must know that this is the border land of the Ming Dynasty, and the power of the army here is really not small, and the magistrates who can befriend it and be maintained by the generals naturally have more power, enough to suppress the few officials above.

Therefore, Zheng Dianshi, who is now the de facto leader of Guangling County, asked to see him so politely, which really surprised Lu Jin. But soon, he reacted again and said busily: "Zheng Dianshi is polite, please come in and speak." ”

After another answer, the door was opened from the outside, and a thin man in his thirties with a pale face came to Lu Jin, and bowed with his fists in his hands.

After inviting the other party to sit down, Lu Zhen asked: "I don't know why Zheng Dianshi came to see me today." ”

"One of the reasons why Xia Guan is here is to greet your lordship. The previous time the adults disappeared, the lower officials and others were really confused, and many people were sent to look for them inside and outside the county for two days. And after you came back, my lord, because of your injuries, the lower officials did not dare to disturb at will, until today I learned that you have recovered, and then I came to greet you. Zheng Fu said with some concern.

"It's called Zheng Dianshi and you to worry about it, this official actually has no problem with his body, but this head is still a little uncomfortable, so in the future, you will have to worry about things in the yamen."

"Don't dare, this is what the lower officials should do." Zheng Fu smiled modestly and asked again: "In addition, the people in the yamen were also very concerned about the disappearance of the adult before, but they don't know where the adult went in the past three days?" When he said this, his eyes couldn't help but stare at Lu Jin.

This question made Lu Jin's heart twitch, and he was really afraid that the other party would see his flaws. But at this time, there was no other way to choose, so I could only force it and say: "It's strange to say, because of the injury on my head, I can't remember what happened during those days." In fact, not only this, but also many past experiences, I feel a little confused......"

"Is this the case?" A strange light flashed in Zheng Fu's eyes, and he looked at Lu Zhen carefully a few times, and then said: "Then the adult has to find a doctor to take a look, this matter can't be careless." ”

"Thank you Zheng Dianshi for your reminder, I can reflect on this." Lu Zhen nodded in agreement. He didn't want to get too involved in this matter, so he changed the subject and asked, "I wonder if you have anything else important to do besides this?" ”

"Oh, I almost forgot if I didn't mention it." Zheng Fu stood up as he spoke, took out an official document from his sleeve and handed it over: "This is the card voucher for the next Yacha to go to the township below to do business, and I hope that the Lord will use the seal to give instructions." ”

The so-called card ticket is a certificate that proves that the person who goes to the office below is a person in the government, just like the certificate of a certain unit in later generations. However, this card is a one-time ticket, and it is often necessary to recover and destroy it after completing the errand. This is to prevent those officials below from harassing the villagers with chicken feathers as arrows.

Moreover, this card must also have the official seal of the county magistrate, otherwise if you don't have a card or don't have a seal on it, you will be regarded as a thief by the people in the countryside, and you don't have to bear any responsibility if you are beaten to death. This is also the power that the imperial court gave to the local county order to control the officials under it.

However, as far as Lu Zhen knows, most of the cards and tickets in the county are issued by Zheng Dianshi, the fourth master, and they are also stamped with his seal, which is also one of the reasons why his county order has been completely set aside, because the villagers at the bottom actually recognize this kind of card tickets. And now, Zheng Fu actually took the card ticket to reprint himself, which is really a little strange.

But Lu Zhen couldn't figure out why the other party did this, so he had to follow his wishes, stamped the card ticket with a bright red county seal, and then handed it back.

Sure enough, Zheng Fu didn't have any joy at this, just took it casually, put it back in his sleeve, and wanted to leave.

Just as he walked to the door, he suddenly thought of something again, and suddenly turned around again: "My lord, there is one more thing I want to ask you." ”

"You say." Lu Zhen replied casually.

"Seeing that the New Year Festival is approaching, but the supplies of the imperial court have not yet arrived, so the lower officials are thinking about allocating some food or wine from the county treasury to reward the garrison in the city, I don't know what the adults think?" When he asked this, Zheng Fu's eyes suddenly narrowed, and he stared at Lu Jin's face carefully, as if he wanted to see something change from it.

Lu Jin was a little confused about this, he didn't have much power in this matter, it was all Hou Xiancheng's work. Of course, in front of the other party, he couldn't say that, so he said: "The border army protects the safety of my place, and if you treat them well, this official can naturally allow it." However, the matter in the county government warehouse is still under the care of the county government, you can discuss it with him first. ”

Seeing that he was just stunned and responded so calmly, Zheng Fu was both a little surprised and a little relieved: "Could it be that he really forgot everything before?" This is also a good thing, at least you don't have to bother to take any more risks......" thought in his heart, but his mouth became more and more respectful: "In this case, the lower officials will thank the soldiers first." After saying that, he turned around and went out.

Seeing Zheng Dianshi leave, Lu Jin's heart was puzzled, the few things he said today didn't seem to have much to do with his county order, so where was his real purpose? Could it be that the other party really saw his own problem and came to test it?

Thinking about it like this, it makes Lu Zhen feel even more pressure, and it seems that he has to continue to learn more about the situation of Lu County's order, so as to deal with future changes.

Thinking of this, he picked up his pen again and practiced calligraphy.
