County Lieutenant Deng really knows a little about the ancient officialdom of Danqing ,——, calligraphy and painting is a scholar's business, and he can understand a little bit about it. He only glanced at it, and then found the inscription of Tang Sima, and carefully identified it, and sure enough, it was the two words Tang Lin. He recognized Tang Lin's words, and he also knew that Tang Lin's calligraphy and painting were unique, and he was very famous. The artistic conception of this landscape brushwork is similar to the paintings of Tang Lin he has seen, and it should be his own handwriting.

As soon as he saw the word Tang Lin, County Lieutenant Deng's whole body seemed to have fallen into an ice cave.

What kind of person is Tang Lin? How could he, the county lieutenant of Deng County, not know what to do in the officialdom for a long time? Before this Tang Lin became Sima of Yizhou Mansion, he was an absolute high-ranking official - the secretary of the criminal department of the third grade, Doctor Jin Ziguanglu!

The Criminal Department is one of the six central departments of the Tang Dynasty, responsible for formulating and revising laws and regulations, managing prisons throughout the country, assessing criminal officials, and selecting relevant outstanding talents. Therefore, the Criminal Department is actually equivalent to the current Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, the Organization Department of the CPC Central Committee (the evaluation and appointment and removal of judicial personnel at the provincial and ministerial levels), the Ministry of Justice, and half of the Supreme Court. And Dali Temple is only equivalent to the other half of the Supreme Court. Therefore, in terms of level, the Shangshu of the Criminal Department is the third grade, while the Dali Siqing is only from the third grade.

A few days ago, this Tang Lin offended the emperor for some reason, and was demoted to Yizhou as a Sima, becoming the deputy of the assassin history. However, according to the rules of officialdom, local officials dare not really treat the degraded officials in the capital as deputies, because there are many reasons why these degraded officials are demoted, many of which are due to deep-seated power struggles, and it is difficult for outsiders to know the Tao, therefore, because of the changes in the situation of power struggles, these degraded officials are likely to make a comeback, and there are too many such cases. Maybe one day someone will go up again and step on your head, but isn't that asking for trouble for yourself?

Yizhou has a metropolitan governor's mansion, which commands Yi, Mian, Jian, Jia, Ling, Mei, Qian, and Qiong, and supervises the governor's mansion of Nanning, Nanning, and Huidu, and the governor of Yizhou also serves as the governor of Yizhou, which is equivalent to the commander of the military region and the mayor of Yizhou, which is a standard prince. is such a big official, County Lieutenant Deng has seen more than once that in front of Tang Lin, this governor and assassin has a very kind attitude, and even has some humility. The dignified governor and assassin of the history is like this, not to mention that he, a small county lieutenant from the ninth grade, can he afford to provoke this degraded official Tang Sima in the capital?

His own reliance is just Zhong Facao of the government, from the seventh grade, he has also seen that his backer Zhong Facao does not even dare to come out of the atmosphere in front of Tang Lin, let alone his little sesame official?

I didn't expect this kid to climb such a big tree, my God, County Lieutenant Deng felt cold all over, if he made Tang Sima know what he was doing, he could click off his own nine-grade petty official even with his life!

The more County Lieutenant Deng thought about it, the more frightened he became, so he pretended to be calm and stroked his beard, but he didn't notice that his beard was trembling. He barely squeezed out a smile, pointed to the big tree in the woods with Tang Lin's name inscribed, and said, "Tang Sima's inscription is here." Huh"

Xiao Jiading saw that he was afraid of becoming like this, and his heart was even more funny, no wonder, he was the director of a county public security bureau who might offend a member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee, so it was strange that he was not afraid. Hurriedly went up to take a closer look, and suddenly realized: "Oh, it turned out to be here, I wasted half a day, and I found it on the top of the mountain, but I didn't expect him to write here." Really, who would have thought. ”

County Lieutenant Deng smiled and said, "Although Tang Sima is in a high position, he is very humble, so naturally he will not inscribe his name on the top of the mountain. - Well, Brother Xiao, I handed over Jiang Zhongyuan's case to you, originally because I admired your criminal law attainments, so I wanted to put pressure on you, but just now I pondered for a long time, and I felt that Jiang Zhongyuan's case was a homicide after all, and you just came, I'm afraid that this burden is too heavy, so forget it and let someone else handle it. I'll ask Judicial Xu to arrange another case for you. ”

Xiao Jiading heard that he didn't even say anything about his own official, and directly said that I was obviously afraid of going home, so he said: "It's good, I obey the arrangement of the county lieutenant." ”

"Well, you go and call Judge Xu, I'll tell him."

"Yes!" Xiao Jiading folded the painting and turned around to leave, but County Lieutenant Deng stopped him again: "Wait a minute." ”

Xiao Jiading stood still and turned to look at him.

County Lieutenant Deng's face was as calm as possible, and he beckoned: "Come here!" ”

Xiao Jiading hurriedly walked to his bookcase. County Lieutenant Deng turned around, opened a box behind him, took out an inkstone and a few brushes from it, put them in front of Xiao Jiading, and said with a flattering smile: "You will be a scribe in the future, we must have a pen and inkstone to take advantage of when we are copywriters." This inkstone is a Chengni inkstone produced in Yuzhou, this is produced in Houdian Village, and it is still good, which can be regarded as a small gift for you to catch the wind. ”

The director gave gifts to his subordinates, which is so unusual. Xiao Jiading smiled secretly, and hurriedly thanked him and put it away.

County Lieutenant Deng hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Well......, Tang Sima is busy with business, and you don't want to talk about this case in front of him today, okay?" ”

Xiao Jiading couldn't help laughing, and said with a little trepidation: "It's good." ”

Xiao Jiading came out with an inkstone brush, returned to the torture room, and told Sima Xu Houde that County Lieutenant Deng was looking for him. Xu Houde went out, and Fazuo Dong Zhong saw him coming back with a bunch of things, and asked, "Hey, so many things?" Newly bought? ”

"No, the county lieutenant Deng sent me just now, saying that I just came and didn't have a pen and inkstone, so he gave me these." Xiao Jiading is not a flamboyant person, but it depends on the occasion, remembering the gloating eyes of these people in front of him just now, he is angry, he is not polite to them, he will shoot when it is time to make a move.

As soon as he heard this, all the scribes in the room showed surprise on their faces, Dong Fazuo glanced at it, and shouted out in surprise: "Oh, this is the pen of Chengni Yan and Houdian Village in Yuzhou, they are all of the highest grade, and these things can't be taken down without ten yuan!" Gee! ”

A kind of scribe all gathered around, talking and talking, looking at Xiao Jiading's eyes suddenly became complicated, some felt that County Lieutenant Deng was deliberately confusing Xiao Jiading, so that he could handle the case obediently, and some felt that it was impossible, there was no need for County Lieutenant Deng to take such a valuable thing to let his subordinates handle the case, there must be something strange in it. Some thought that Xiao Jiading might have some big background, so it was better to be cautious and not to cause trouble. As a result, looking at Xiao Jiading's gaze, most of them became flattering.

At this time, Xu Houde came back, and as soon as he entered the door, he patted Xiao Jiading's shoulder with a smile and said, "Brother Xiao, County Lieutenant Deng considered that you had just arrived, and it was not appropriate for you to undertake too difficult tasks, so I said, Jiang Zhongyuan's murder case will not be handed over to you to handle, and I will give you another case." ”

At this moment, the people in the house were stunned again, and they didn't expect that when Xiao Jiading came back from a trip to the thatched house, things would change a lot, and he got valuable gifts, and he unloaded the bone case that was caused by the disaster.

After Xiao Jiading sat down, Zhu Haiyin at the table next to him winked at him and secretly picked his thumb. Meaning, big brother, you're awesome!

According to Xu Houde's instructions, the clerk in charge of internal affairs soon sent another case to Xiao Jiading. Xiao Jiading took a brief look, it was an ordinary debt dispute, and it was easy to handle. However, he was not in a hurry to write down his opinions, because he was about to disperse.

At this time, County Lieutenant Deng followed another old man in an official robe and walked in. County Lieutenant Deng's face was ugly, he wanted to laugh and cry, and it was difficult to describe what his expression was, but the old man, who was full of spring breeze and smiling, stood at the door, looked at a room of scribes, and asked, "Which one is Brother Xiao?" ”

County Lieutenant Deng hurriedly looked at Xiao Jiading and said, "Master Wen, Brother Xiao is there." ”

The main book? Could it be that this smiling old man is the chief bookkeeper of the county government?

The main registrar is in charge of a county's inspection, supervision and printing and some judicial functions, and is similar to the current director of the office of the county party committee in terms of function. But the rank is not as high as the current director, only one level higher than the county lieutenant, and it is under the ninth grade.

Although the official is small, he is also an official, and the arrival of his own little scribe will not alarm him, right?

Xiao Jiading was pondering, and the master of the text had already stepped forward and came to Xiao Jiading's face, with a smile on his face, and arched his hand: "Brother Xiao, congratulations!" ”

Congratulations? Xiao Jiading was a little inexplicable, and hurriedly returned the salute and looked at him with an inquiring expression.

The main book of the text said: "That's the case, the original executive clothes of the Kang County Order, jointly sponsored by Tang Sima and the Kang County Order, and approved by the Ministry of Officials, will be appointed as the county lieutenant of Yizhou Daojiang County." At the same time, Tang Sima recommended you to be the executive of the Kang County Order, and the Kang County Order accepted it very happily, and in the future, you will be the executive of the Kang County Order, isn't it gratifying? Haha"

The executive clothes of the county order, to put it bluntly, are the personal secretary of the county party secretary, although they still belong to the officials, but how can the personal secretary next to the head of a county be comparable to ordinary scribes? Although the main book is the secretary of the county order in the real sense, and the main book can be said to be the top boss of the county order, after all, the county order is the person next to the county order, and he can often talk to the county order, so although he is the master bookkeeper, he still has to tell Xiao Jiading the good news in person.

The reason why he wanted to come in person was not only that Xiao Jiading would become his top boss in the future, but another important reason, that is, the person who sponsored Xiao Jiading was Tang Lin of the government Sima! What is the origin of Tang Lin, he knows very well that there is such a big backer behind a county magistrate, does he dare to stand in front of Xiao Jiading?
