Hearing the words of the master book, Xiao Jiading was stunned for a moment, Tang Lin? Mansion Sima? He just used his landscape painting fox fake tiger to suppress the county lieutenant Deng, that was just a lie he made up, he didn't know Tang Sima of the government at all, how could he sponsor himself as the personal secretary of the county order?

Although Xiao Jiading's brain turned quickly, he couldn't figure out the mystery for a while.

However, he now understands why the county lieutenant Deng would be like that, to say that the lie that Xiao Jiading made up just now and interacted with Tang Sima County Lieutenant Deng would rather believe it, and now, Tang Sima recommended Xiao Jiading as the executive of Kang County, which made him believe it completely. No wonder the embarrassed look on his face.

The personal secretary of the county magistrate is naturally a fat shortage, but also has a great future, from the last Kang County Order, the executive clothes directly from the official and become the county lieutenant can know the way, in the future, their own road can also be completely from this road into the stream and embark on the official career, do not need to participate in the strict imperial examination. So Xiao Jiading was naturally very happy in his heart, but he just smiled on his face, and there was no surprise, as if he had already known the way, and arched his hand: "Thank you for telling me in the book." ”

Xiao Jiading's expression made the smile on the face of the master book even brighter, and it could even be understood as a kind of stammering, and said: "Tomorrow, you come directly to my signing room, and I will take you to see the county order and tell you what you have to do in the future." All right? ”

His tone was very polite, like an official talking to a little scribe.

Xiao Jiading hurriedly bowed down and agreed.

The master of the text took out Xiao Jiading's road guide and a waist card from his sleeve pocket, handed it to Xiao Jiading, and said: "By the way, when County Lieutenant Deng sent someone to send your road guide to register and make a book, I just learned about it, so I changed the waist card to the one who held the clothes, because I was busy with things, and I only sent it to you now." ”

Xiao Jiading hurriedly took the waist card and the road guide.

The main book of the text said: "You are now the executive of the county order, it is possible that the county order will let you work overtime or something, and you must have a place to rest, so I have arranged a place for you to live next to the flower house outside the county order, you just move to live." I'll have someone clean up your office for you. Let's talk about it specifically. ”

"Yes! Thank you very much for the book. ”

The main book of the article said to the county lieutenant Deng: "Wait a while, you will take Xiao Zhiyi around and get to know everyone." ”

County Lieutenant Deng hurriedly agreed.

The writer smiled and bowed his hand, said goodbye and left.

After he left, County Lieutenant Deng, Xu Justice, and Dong Fazuo hurriedly came over to congratulate him, and Xiao Jiading hurriedly returned the salute one by one.

County Lieutenant Deng had regained his composure, with a smile on his face, he bowed his hand to Xiao Jiading, said a word of congratulations, and then solemnly said to Xu Justice, who was beside him: "By the way, the case between Uncle Xiao Zhiyi's maid and the Zhao family should be handled according to Xiao Zhiyi's opinion,—— the maid is a member of the Xiao family, just like the Xiao family's cattle and horses, the calf and pony born are naturally his Xiao family, and the child born to this handmaid and the Zhao family should belong to the Xiao family." Why don't you understand such a simple truth? ”

Judicial Xu was a little dumbfounded, this case was rejected by County Lieutenant Deng after reading it, and he said at that time that this child was the flesh and blood of the Zhao family, of course it should belong to the Zhao family, why did it become his own fault now? However, where did he dare to distinguish with the leader in charge, he could only claim that it was Ha Lu Ha Lian.

County Lieutenant Deng looked at Xiao Jiading, and said with a somewhat inviting smile: "Xiao Zhiyi, do you think it is appropriate to deal with it like this?" ”

"Very good, I thank the county lieutenant for enforcing the law impartially for my cousin."

"It's easy to say, it's easy to say."

Xiao Jiading suddenly remembered the case that Yu Gui said at dinner in the morning, so he said lightly: "By the way, yesterday I saw an old man named Yu Gui at the yamen, he was kneeling and crying at the yamen, I asked what was going on, he said that one of his cows accidentally fell to death, and the yamen convicted him of manslaughter and did not execute, but his cattle were confiscated from the official." There is no criminal law for this kind of thing, and I am also thinking about it in my heart, so when I met Tang Sima last night, I asked him about this case. He said with a smile that although there is no specific provision for this situation, the law has long been clear, only criminal tools can not be used to obtain officials, and in the case of cattle killing, cattle are only the object of crime, they are victims, how can they become criminal tools. Since it is not a tool of crime, it should not be confiscated from the official, but should be returned to its owner. Tang Sima was still very unhappy and asked where this case was, how could it be handled like this......

As soon as they heard Xiao Jiading's words, County Lieutenant Deng and Xu Judicial became nervous, their faces turned red, and their eyes looked at him.

Xiao Jiading smiled slightly and said, "I said that I was just thinking about it like this, and I don't know if there is such a case in the Ludao Yamen." His face softened a little. ”

County Lieutenant Deng and Judge Xu both breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at each other, and County Lieutenant Deng smiled and said, "Thank you Xiao Zhiyi for your kind words, I will immediately ask them to return the confiscated beef to the original owner." Huh"

Xu Judicial whispered: "But the beef has already been divided......

County Lieutenant Deng turned his head and glared at him fiercely, then turned his head to Xiao Jiading and said, "This matter will definitely be dealt with, don't worry." ”

"Then I'm going to be the county lieutenant Xie Xie for that Yu Gui, alas, it's pitiful, I'm just soft-hearted, and I can't listen to others crying. Hey. ”

"Xiao Zhiyi is kind-hearted, and he has to have such compassion when trying a case. Brother Xiao was promoted to the position of deacon, and he will have to deal with people from all walks of life in the future, so I will take you to meet with people from all walks of life in the county government first, get to know each other, and do things in the future. ”

"Thank you, Lieutenant."

"Our brother, you're welcome."

County Lieutenant Deng took Xiao Jiading and first went to visit the county Chenglian Zhaohui, the old man was very enthusiastic, patted Xiao Jiading's shoulder and said that he would work hard, and the future was immeasurable. Then County Lieutenant Deng took him to meet another county lieutenant, Wen Youde.

Shaocheng County belongs to Shang County, and there are two county lieutenants, who manage the six rooms of the county government respectively, which is equivalent to being in charge of the leadership. Among them, Wen Youde is in charge of the three rooms of officials, households, and rites, and Deng Quansheng, the county lieutenant, is in charge of the three rooms of criminals, soldiers, and workers. Of course, the important things in the six rooms all require the nod of the county order.

Wen Youde speaks slowly, he looks like an old pedant, and he is also very enthusiastic about Xiao Jiading.

County Lieutenant Deng introduced him to his executive clothes, Xing Xuzhong. Xiao Jiading heard Du Erniu's grandfather say that this person is proficient in criminal law and is the right-hand man of Deng County Lieutenant. After all, it was a peer, Xiao Jiading greeted him very warmly, but Xing Xuzhong just bowed very respectfully, and did not actively respond to Xiao Jiading's enthusiasm, looking a little indifferent. Many people with the ability have this virtue, and Xiao Jiading doesn't care about it.

Lieutenant Deng led him to the five rooms of officials, households, ceremonies, soldiers, and workers outside the torture room, and met with the secretary of each room and the deputies and scribes below. Then I went to the county warehouse and met with the governor, the city order, and the soaps. Then I went to the third class of the county government and the prison, and saw the head catcher, the fast catcher, the soap duty hall, the prison guard, the question, and the white straight. Later, he went to the school in Yamen and met with the doctors, teaching assistants, and students in charge. One or two hundred people from the whole yamen met with each other. These people looked at Xiao Jiading, and most of their eyes were in awe and envy, of course, there were also jealousy and indifference.

After turning around, it was almost time to disperse, and County Lieutenant Deng sent him back to the execution room, Zhu Haiyin offered to take Xiao Zhiyi to his residence in Yamen, County Lieutenant Deng agreed, and then said goodbye and left.

As soon as Xiao Jiading came back, a room full of torture room scribes rushed over to say hello to Xiao Jiading, the smiles on their faces were very strange and frightened, they all regretted in their stomachs that they had not seen Xiao Jiading's arrival clearly, so they showed such an expression, and they didn't know if the county magistrate would retaliate against him in the future.

The scribes of the Tang Dynasty are different from the current civil servants, civil servants are iron rice bowls, while the scribes of the Tang Dynasty have a time limit, generally five years, and after the expiration of the county decree, they can continue to work for five years, otherwise, they will roll up and get out. And when the expiration of the county order will not continue to be retained, because the county order basically does not deal directly with the scribe, so how the scribe performs, the county order only depends on the people below to report, at this time, the county order around the clothes, that often plays a decisive role. So, while congratulating Xiao Jiading, these scribes were thinking about how to give Xiao Jiading gifts in order to redeem their bad impression in Xiao Jiading's mind.

The sound of the scattered cloud board sounded. These scribes all nodded and looked at Xiao Jiading, waiting for him to go out first, so that he could get out, Xiao Jiading saw Zhu Haiyin squeezing his eyes with him, and knew that he had something to say, so he said to those scribes: "You guys go first, I still have something to do." ”

The scribes took their leave and walked out. Before Xu Judicial left, he smiled and said to Xiao Jiading that the case handed over to him did not need to be handled, just go back and hand it over to the internal staff. Unexpectedly, Xiao Jiading went to the Yamen torture room and handed him two cases, but they were not completed, and the family was promoted. When luck came, the mountains couldn't stop it.

After the scribes left, only Zhu Haiyin and Xiao Jiading were left in the house.

Only then did Zhu Haiyin step forward and arch his hand: "Congratulations, big brother!" Congratulations, big brother! Let's go, let's go to the Jade Building and celebrate the eldest brother! ”

The previous incident happened too suddenly, and Xiao Jiading hadn't figured out what was going on. Now, Zhu Haiyin mentioned Jade Building, and his eyes immediately lit up, could it be that this matter was a favor from Ya Niang? There is this possibility, because this Tang Sima is Ya Niang's guest, and he has also inscribed a lot of calligraphy and paintings for her. It shows that the relationship between the two is good, but they are just promoting a scribe, this kind of thing is too pediatric for the dignified Sima, and Ya Niang should be able to talk about such a thing.

Did she help her? If that's the case, I have to really get to know this Tang Sima through him. This kind of relationship, if you don't go, that's a big fool.
