The matter of the horse being tied up, because Hu Tong, the squire of the Criminal Department, moved to the residence of Zhongshu Province, and the emperor pursued the responsibility of an official, and the turmoil subsided.

But there is such a story circulating in the capital:

After the horse was tied up by the female thief and taken to the broken temple in the mountain outside the city, it can be said that it was a life of nine deaths, thanks to the horse's kung fu, and the IQ was relatively high, after several rounds, the woman was slaughtered, after returning to the city, the officers and soldiers went to search the mountain but found that the body of the female thief had already been eaten up by the jackal, only a few white bones remained, as for the identity of the woman, it really became a mystery.

Of course, this is the most basic story, the people's ability to spread the news is really strong, and some good people add oil and vinegar to the story, so that there are several versions, all kinds of brave horses, what used a meteor hammer to beat the female thief into meat sauce, and the silver moon knife chopped her into meat filling, but in short, people are convinced of the thing: the female thief was indeed killed by the horse.

What Xu Chen wants is this effect, this kind of thing, once it is passed on to ten or ten, it will become true, this can also be used as a trick to deceive Qiu Ling's sect leader, she is safe for the time being.

I'm afraid that this woman will be hot-headed, and she will kill Hu Tong with a sword, and it will be bad if there will be a storm in the city at that time, Hu Tong, of course, Xu Chen has the greatest resentment, even if he is instructed by Yang Guozhong, it is really difficult to understand the fact that he will die if he doesn't fix this guy.

The living house is a six-rank official, but he stayed in the capital, Hu Shilang was not worried about his future, and with Yang Guozhong here, he would naturally not treat him badly.

This turmoil has come to an end, Xu Chen rested for two days, he was generally busy with the affairs of the branch, although the land in the East Market was coiled, Xu Chen still had to go to see in person, how the hotel should be built, there was no effort at the moment, and he still had to go to work.

Yang Guozhong's rules, officials have a rest every three days, and they are not very tired from the last shift, in the past, this old guy set a two-day rest, but the working hours are so much, it is too leisurely.

I came to the official office early this day, and entered the courtyard of the official office of the Ministry of War, which was very deserted, and the main building of the Ministry of War was naturally the building where Xu Chen worked, and there were five or six bungalows in several small buildings next to it, and the courtyard was very large.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were six departments and twenty-four divisions in three provinces, and there were four divisions of the military department, the staff, the driving department, and the treasury department under the command of the military department, and four directors of the military department, two people each from the staff, the driving department, and the treasury department. There is one person in each of the staff and the outside man, who is in charge of the map, the city god, the town, the beacon, the distance of the road to prevent people, and the naturalization of the four people.

One person in charge of the driving department, one person in charge of the chariot, the car, the post, the stable, the horses, cattle and miscellaneous animals, the treasury Rao is so, the palm of the hand, the book of honor.

The Tang Dynasty's military system has been around for a long time, but with the destruction of the Juntian system, the military system is difficult to continue, the management of the military registration of the military is cumbersome, and the phenomenon of desertion is extremely serious in recent years, Emperor Li San changed the military to recruitment, that is, the establishment of an orthodox army, which is of course a good thing for the military department, so although the annual military registration statistics are prosperous, they can also get accurate military registration information.

The main building of the military department is naturally a place where some people with higher grades go to work, and the officials also go inside to sign in, Xu Chen came early this day, the courtyard is still deserted, and he just wanted to enter the main building, but he saw that there was already a person sitting in the lobby of the department.

After going to work these days, Xu Chen came very early every day, and he had already paid attention to the person in the treasury, and asked others about this person.

There are not many people coming, Xu Chen came here so early, just to get more familiar with the environment and read some information, Yang Guozhong's working time is too short, and he will often be called to eat by the palace at noon, and there is too little time to study.

Xu Chen is a new official, so he naturally has to be diligent, although he has some opinions on this Xu Shilang in the current military department, he doesn't dare to say it, mainly because this horse is so young that people grit their teeth and envy it, but this person is good friends with Shangshu, just like the future military department, this kid wants to become the boss.

It's normal to encounter small troubles, Xu Chen looks rigorous and studious, and there is no big official frame at all, which makes the officials feel a little good, I don't really convince him, Xu Chen has a smile, a hello, but it will have a great psychological effect, approachable, amiable (is it so old) image will be more or less spread.

People will only wonder if he is here to play in circles, whether he can sit still with such a big official, wait and see.

Xu Chen turned his head and walked into the staff division, and the palm Gu was drawing some maps at this time, and he didn't notice Xu Chen who came in.

After standing for a while, looking down at the man's drawing, he took the pen for a while, bit the pen for a while, and then turned around, he saw Xu Chen, who leaned down and looked at the appearance carefully, he was startled, and hurriedly got up and said, "Xiaguan ......"

Xu Chen waved his hand and motioned him to continue, this person is in his twenties, which is rare in the military department, and he does have an old-fashioned face, the kind that does not smile, to be precise, facial paralysis.

Xu Chen heard that he was very good at drawing and his painting skills were very superb, but this person did not understand the world, only took care of his own affairs, never flattered, and often contradicted his boss, so he did it for a few years, and he was not promoted.

Most of the time I hear how a person is not flattering, the first impression is that this person is pretending to be forced, pretentious, but this palm is notoriously offending people, it is said that the last time the staff of the department of the birthday banquet, the staff will give some gift money, but this palm is a poem, the man is ashamed of the red face.

In the poem, he is scolded for being in charge of the family, which is either a mother's birthday or a sow's birthday, and even his own life can remember the wrong opportunity, which is nothing more than thinking about the bribe.

This young man is so bold, and the principal doesn't dare to do anything with him, but also because this palm is a bit talented, and just for the drawing of this map, it is really difficult for him to do it without a job.

"Did you come so early?" Xu Chen sat down and said with a smile.

Usually no one cares about this palm, and suddenly such an official came, so that the person was not embarrassed, but he felt that this squire was a little more approachable, he was not afraid of any big official, he just felt that this squire was a little unaccustomed to not taking a shelf. The main thing is to show off his power with a stinky face every day.

He has naturally heard of this squire, it is said that he is a concubine who even Yang Guozhong dares to offend, and his good feelings have increased a little, and when he sees Xu Chen sitting down, he does not dare to sit down, and he naturally has to follow the etiquette in the officialdom, not a grade, of course, he can't sit on an equal footing, so he said; "Not really, it's just that there are too many sent to the border town these days, and the lower officials just want to finish it as soon as possible."

The two of them just chatted without a match, but at this time Prime Minister Yang's family was very busy, and several officials from the Ministry of Officials, Zhongshu Sheren, and Menxia Province were all called to his house, because this old man wanted to gather a group of heroes to discuss the appointment of some officials.

Everyone knows that these are just passing scenes, and Prime Minister Yang's list has already been drawn up, maybe whoever gives more money this time will be at the top...... (To be continued.) )
