Hearing Qin Lin admit that he was a disciple of the medical hall, Zhang Gongyu and Shi Wei were stunned at first, and then looked at each other and laughed: both of them guessed that Qin Lin was an acquaintance of the other party, or a master of the Jinyi Wei system, or a Tianhuang nobleman of the Jing King family, but they didn't expect him to be a white ding.

"Qin, little brother Qin can bluff this official," Zhang Gongyu pointed at Qin Lin and laughed, and said to Shi Wei: "Looking at this son's bearing, is he just an apprentice in the medical hall?" ”

Shi Wei nodded reservedly, as a hundred households in brocade clothes, he looked at people very accurately, but he didn't expect to make a mistake in Qin Lin, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, but fortunately, he was also an unusual person in a hundred households in brocade clothes, and immediately lifted this layer, with no expression on his face, and laughed with Zhang Gongyu.

Since he was Bai Ding, the title of "Qin Gongzi" was changed to "Little Brother Qin", but the suspicion of Qin Lin's identity was removed, and he knew that he was the people under his rule, and the two adults were a little closer to him in words.

"Little Brother Qin is so capable, he is really condescending in the medical hall, this official wants to invite you to be a famous criminal teacher......" Zhang Gongyu suddenly paused when he said this, and his brows furrowed slightly.

He originally wanted to invite Qin Lin to be the master of the criminal name, but after thinking about it, the current master of Shaoxing is a veteran copywriter, and the official documents submitted to the Huangzhou Mansion and Huguangcheng to announce the political envoys relied on him to write, and he was extremely experienced in the correspondence with documents and officialdom rules, and these things were really inseparable from him.

Then he changed his words and said, "How about being a torture chamber officer?" ”

Shi Wei's throat moved, he wanted to say something, but when he heard Zhang Gongyu say it first, he couldn't help but regret it a little, and looked at Qin Lin with a stare to see if he agreed.

Hiss~ Niu Dali, Cui Zhutou, Jiao Chengzuo and others gasped in shock, and several catchers whispered: "It's the secretary, not the warden and the secretary?" Did we hear you right? ”

Although the officials are officials without grades, the power is not small, the Beijing court has officials, households, rites, soldiers, criminals, and workers six departments, and the local county government has six corresponding rooms, the central government is responsible for the management of a department of the senior is called Shangshu, the local supervisor is called the secretary, and the criminal room secretary is the "criminal department Shangshu" of a county in this state.

What's more, there are only the officials and deputy wardens in charge of the six rooms of the state government, adding up to a total of twelve people who are regular officials, in addition to nearly 100 people's clerks and helpers are non-economic officials, and the names of the regular officials must be reported to the household department for the record, and in the future, they will be qualified to be promoted to the main book, judge, push official, and other miscellaneous officials, and non-economic officials can only reach out to catch some bad rules and regulations, and there is no chance to be promoted.

Zhang Gongyu opened his mouth and asked Qin Lin to be the secretary, who was not only a regular official, but also the supervisor of the torture room. Many of the clerks in the state government have white beards and haven't gotten a warden yet, how old is he to become a clerk? At the age of sixteen or seventeen, he became a priest, and it is certain that he will become a county clerk of seven or eight grades after more than ten years, the chief bookkeeper or the official of the seventh or eighth grade.

The fish jumped over the dragon gate, everyone sighed, Zhang Gongyu paved a golden officialdom shortcut for Qin Lin with a word.

The secretary of the torture room who came with him secretly sighed that he was unlucky, and just gave Hu Si Servant five taels of silver to beg him to take care of him, and then Hu Si Servant was dismissed by Master Zhang with a word, and the five taels of silver had to be counted as filling the dog hole; Fortunately, the new secretary is here, and on the way back to Zhou City, he stammered in front of everyone, maybe he will look at him differently in the future?

Cui Zhutou is shrewd, obedient and obedient, as if the eldest master of Zhizhou originally wanted to give Qin Lin the position of the famous master? That's even more terrible, the secretary is a subordinate of Zhizhou, and the master is called a friend of the scene, and the relationship between the master and the master is between friends and guests, if the six-room scribe is the shadow of the six central Shangshu in the place, then the master is close to the master and master in the court.

This young man is incredible! Cui Zhutou decided to be polite to Qin Lin no matter what, maybe he would pinch his own rice bowl in the palm of someone's hand.

The envious eyes of everyone gathered on Qin Lin's face.

Unexpectedly, he didn't bow and thank the old man of Zhizhou as much as others imagined, but lowered his head and thought about something.

"Hurry up and agree," Lu Yuanzhi pulled his arm behind him, and the little fat man was more anxious than him: "Brother Qin, you are only seventeen years old, if you become a priest now, after more than ten years of qualifications, it is appropriate to be a seven-rank promoter in your thirties!" ”

The officials who were born in the Ming Dynasty can chant the wind and make the moon, and the miscellaneous officials have busy business, so the promotion of the young and strong will be fast, Qin Lin started as a priest at such a young age, and it can be said that ten years later, a position of the seventh grade is nine out of ten.

Qin Lin raised his head, his eyes were extremely clear and clear, he respectfully bowed to Zhang Gongyu, but his answer surprised everyone:

"Thank you for the grace of the eldest master, but I am young and shallow, and I want to experience a few more years in the medical path, so I also ask the eldest lord to take back his life."

Shi Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and lowered his head to think about something.

Zhang Gongyu was taken aback, stared at Qin Lin for a moment, and when he saw that Qin Lin's eyes were not evasive, and his expression was neither arrogant nor humble, he confirmed that this was not a false prevarication.

"The young man is really ambitious, although he can be an official from a background, he is not the right path after all, no wonder Brother Qin looks down on him. You Huguang land has many outstanding people, Guixiang Party Jiangling Zhang Gong Juzheng, born as a second-class jinshi, and now lives in the position of Zaifu to hold the right handle Heng Kuang Fu Chaogang, it can be said that the pearl and jade are in front, you naturally want to see the sages and think......"

Zhang Gongyu will be wrong, seeing that Qin Lin's temperament is heroic and introverted, and he is quite generous between his pitches, he also thinks that he is a well-educated scholar, because Master Zhang himself is an official who was born in the top three jinshi, so he is very appreciative, and he can't wait to accept Qin Lin as a protégé.

This old man was a little confused, and he didn't think about it, if Qin Lin wanted to take the path of the imperial examination, why should he stay in the medical hall? You should go to a state school to study after taking the exam!

He was talking to himself, and suddenly remembered the beautiful talk of Gu Luan, the governor of Huguang, who gave the young Zhang Juzheng a belt, and immediately untied his silver sash and gave it to Qin Lin: "When it comes to seeing the sages and thinking about it, the official remembers the story of the Gu Pavilion Department giving Zhang Jiangling a rhino horn belt. Hehe, I'm afraid that the silver and jade flower belt of the five-grade official will not be worthy of your fame in the future, and you have to tie a gold belt and a jade belt! ”

Qin Lin only felt funny, his handwriting was similar to that of a chicken catching a dog, and his ancient literary skills were not good, and if he wanted to be admitted to the Jinshi exam, he was afraid that the age of Fan Jinzhong would be in vain.

However, since Master Zhang was so enthusiastic, he was also disrespectful, and accepted the silver flower belt after repeatedly thanking him.

This is even more terrible, starting from Cui Zhutou, all the people and others treat Qin Lin differently, you must know that although Zhang Gongyu is mediocre, he is a winning general in the field, and he was born in the top three jinshi, since he said that Qin Lin will be admitted to the jinshi in the future and be a big official, then he will not leave ten.

Only Chu is talented, Huguang people are admitted to the Jinshi to be a big official in the court, and now the first person in the court, Zhang Juzheng, who the Wanli Emperor called "Mr. Taishi Zhang Taiyue", is Jiajing Ding Weike Jinshi, a native of Huguang Jiangling! Do you know that today's young man is not another Zhang Juzheng decades later?

The eyes of the people looking at Qin Lin changed, and even Cui Zhutou didn't dare to look directly at him.

Shi Wei was very sorry, and thought to himself: "I wanted to invite this little brother Qin to serve in the Jinyi Guard, but I also have a capable subordinate - Lao Tzu's group of brothers are all people who lick blood with knives, but such a scheming and resourceful genius to solve the case is very rare." ”

But Zhang Gongyu preemptively invited Qin Lin to be a scribe, he had to keep silent, and finally Qin Lin refused, Zhang Gongyu said that he would be a high school jinshi in the future, and he also untied the silver flower belt as a gift.

Although Master Zhang was dumbfounded, he was admitted to the Jinshi and was a good hand in Jinyi, but he couldn't recognize a few baskets of big characters, so he was convinced, and he had to swallow Qin Lin's words back into his stomach.

Under the envy of everyone, only Qin Lin himself couldn't cry or laugh, and he didn't know what to say about Zhang Gongyu, a foolish official. Shi Wei's words stopped a few times, and he saw it clearly, if it weren't for Zhang Gongyu's nonsense, Shi Wei would probably have proposed to solicit it in the name of Jinyiwei!

Zhang Gongyu and Shi Wei were about to leave, Qin Lin vigorously invited the two Shangguan to his house for dinner, and at this time, they were already hungry after a delay for most of the day, so the two Shangguan happily went to the banquet.

Niu Dali was overjoyed, he was a small Zhuang squad leader of the promotion of the wine, even the two old masters of the criminal name and Qian Gu did not come, and the six-room priest also found some excuses to shirk, only some secretaries, fast catchers, and the township land security, the chief came to drink, so there was no face.

Now there are the lord of the state governor and the brocade guard Baihu to congratulate, although he has no knowledge and can't think of the phrase "Peng Shen is shining", he has already laughed from ear to ear.

Zhang Gongyu even took off his belt, and the handmaid folding fan of Tang Bohu's authentic handiwork was given to Qin Lin, but what made him strange was that the seven-star sword was also placed on the ground, and the catchers only tortured the Chen leather maker to find the dagger that committed the murder, and did not care about the sword.

"Oh, Mr. Qin likes this sword, just take it back," Cui Zhutou was very generous, and he tried his best to prepare to please Qin Lin.

Qin Linqi said: "Isn't it included in the official treasury as evidence?" ”

Cui Zhutou, Niu Dali, Jiao Chengzuo, and the secretary of the torture room all laughed kindly: "Mr. Qin is a well-educated person and a talented person, of course he doesn't know the conventions in our yamen. ”

It turned out that the local government of the Ming Dynasty took "political and criminal simplicity" as the first priority, to put it bluntly, it was not to make trouble out of nothing, and it was also to implement this proposition in the name of the crime.

For example, if this murder case is reported as it is, the punishment will be based on the affairs, experience, and governor of the Prosecutor's Department, and a number of idle officials who like to make trouble out of nothing will have to carefully pick out the words and review them for you one by one.

Therefore, no matter how difficult the case is, the official document submitted above is only a few sentences: "Someone killed someone for something at a certain time and place, and the offender confessed, the murder weapon was presented in court, and there were a number of witnesses."

Cui Zhutou wiped the seven-star sword clean, sheathed it together, and gave it to Qin Lin with both hands.

Knowing that this sword was extremely sharp, Qin Lin did not have a long body now, he had empty moves but his strength was not good, and he had offended the White Lotus Sect, and he really needed a sword to defend himself, so he accepted it with a smile.

There was a soaphorn tree in the corner of the courtyard, Qin Lin brandished his sword to cut a horizontal branch to try how sharp it was, but he didn't expect to cut off the thick branch of his arm like cutting tofu, and the blue and faint sword body buzzed with a long sound, but the vibration transmitted to the palm of his hand was extremely light.

"Congratulations to Mr. Qin," Cui Zhutou exclaimed in surprise, "This is a sword that blows off hair and sharpens iron like clay!" ”
