Chapter 176: Dali Temple
Wu Yongan was originally a temple of Dali Temple, and the official worship was from the six products.
It's a pity that his days as a temple minister were very short, and the Gao family's power in the court was gradually inferior to before, and his official position was suspended.
Later, because of a mistake in a case, he was demoted to two levels, and now he is a judge.
However, according to the precedent, most of this denigration is temporary, and if there is no mistake or omission in the next errand, after a year and a half, it will go back.
There are some petty officials in Dali Temple who are good at sycophancy, and they still call Wu Yongan Wu Sicheng.
But everyone in this precedent, who has worked hard step by step to climb to this son, how can Wu Yongan be compared with someone like Wu Yongan who is not justified and takes advantage of the situation to climb?
Wu Yongan is not completely incompetent, but he is just a little 'unworthy'.
A few days ago, the original temple was retiring from illness, and this son was vacant.
The position of the temple is the seventh product, a total of two people, Wu Yongan also knows that the position of the temple is a little difficult to do, so he plans to slowly figure it out, first ask for the position of the temple is in hand.
He couldn't keep busy with his own affairs, and was called by Qiao Shi to go to the Lingge to talk about it, saying that he should be wary of Wu Punishment and not let him have good fruits to eat.
Wu Yongan didn't bother to pay attention to Qiao's thoughts, although he didn't like Wu Punishment, he didn't care about it more. Besides, Wu punished the new Dali Temple, according to common sense, it was enough to give him a small eight products. But there was no example of Jinshi Erjia entering Dali Temple in the past, Wu Yongan thought, at most, it was only a seventh grade.
Although he is also a judge from the seventh grade, Wu Yongan has always felt that he is just a hidden dragon in the abyss, and he never treats himself as a commentator.
"The woman's view is really boring." Wu Yongan remembered Qiao's instructions and said disdainfully.
The thin papier-mΓ’chΓ© lattice window couldn't block the sound coming from outside, Wu Yongan heard the sound of Bai Si Zheng talking to people, he and Bai Si Zheng were familiar with each other, and he had just asked him to inquire about the news of the vacant official position the day before yesterday, so he hurriedly put down his pen and walked out, and said with a smile: "Bai Si is positive." β
Bai Si was instructing his entourage to take his baggage to the room first, and when he saw Wu Yongan, he was a little more surprised than him, and greeted him, saying, "Wu Pingshi, why are you here?" β
When Wu Yongan heard this, he was puzzled: "Today's case file has not been sorted out, I am here, otherwise where else can I be?" β
Bai Si Zheng laughed and said, "Wu Ping is diligent, but I thought that your brother would come to Dali Temple for the first time today, and you might come along." β
Wu Yongan frowned slightly, and quickly let go and smiled: "He's not young anymore, and he's not a child anymore, so where can I follow." β
"Well, it's always different when you're new here. But it's okay, I see that he is at ease, he slipped away in the courtyard by himself, and now he has gone to see Lord Siqing. After all, he is a second-class Jinshi, and he is a protΓ©gΓ© personally selected by Siqing, which is not ordinary, and it is rare for us to see Lord Siqing at ordinary times. β
As soon as the White Temple entered the temple gate, he saw a tall figure with broad shoulders and a narrow waist, standing in front of the shadow wall and looking at the horns of the head of the hedgehog that shrugged its shoulders and raised its waist.
The hedgehog is an ancient mythical beast, covered in dark hair, with eyes full of gods, long horns on its forehead, understanding human nature, and being able to speak. When the eyes are wide open, they can distinguish between right and wrong, right and wrong, and when they encounter cunning and deceiving, they are furious, and they use a single horn to knock them to the ground and devour them.
The hedgehog on the shadow wall is lifelike, and the sinner who was knocked to the ground by him and is about to die is also vividly carved, Wu Punishment can see it fascinatingly, but he also noticed that someone is approaching behind him, turned around, and took a look at Bai Sizheng.
Bai Sizheng prides himself on having sharp eyes, but he is also confused by the completely different temperament of Wu Zhizhou, and it was not until he reported to his family that he recognized him as Wu Yongan's younger brother.
"Speaking of which, looking at your brothers in such a close way, they are quite similar, but their temperaments are very different, and I don't even realize it for a while."
When Bai Sizheng talked about Wu Punishment, his tone was calm, and he occasionally stroked his beard and smiled, as if he had a good impression of him.
Wu Yongan also acted like a brother, and said with a fake smile: "My younger brother's temperament is a little weird, if there is something in his words, I hope ......
Before he finished speaking, Bai Sizheng waved his hand vigorously and said, "I don't think he's weird, maybe he has a little temper towards those close to you." is indeed born with a cold face, but he is very handsome! The manners and words are also decent and polite, I look like a good boy, those rumors are really nonsense, rest assured, I think he is good, Lord Siqing must also like it. β
Bai Sizheng knew the inside story of the other brother's wall, and as he spoke, he patted Wu Yongan on the shoulder to show comfort.
Wu Yongan subconsciously grinned, his smile was bitter and sour, and he was hypocritical.
"The former Rituo White Temple was asking me about that, what news is there now?" Wu Yongan was next to Bai Sizheng and said in a low voice.
He eagerly wanted to take the stack of case files in his arms for Bai Sizheng, and Bai Sizheng waved his hand slightly, signaling that it was not necessary.
"I also asked when I was in the way, but although the position of the temple is set by two, the top is not in a hurry. We don't have much to say, do we? β
Wu Yong'an was half cold, but he wanted to be a temple, but it was so difficult to do, the ceremony was also sent, and the money was used, and he didn't know where it was blocked, so he couldn't do it for a long time!
I think that he wanted to be the position of the temple at the beginning, and it was not just a matter of a few words from the Gao family, the sky in the court became too fast, and the stomach was not yet hot! The man has already been driven down.
Wu Yongan couldn't help complaining about Gao Man, but thinking of her credit for dissuading General Wu from divorcing his wife a few days ago, he couldn't say anything, so he could only sulk.
Bai Si is being entangled by Wu Yongan like this, and he is also a little impatient, but he has always been a good person, and he has always spoken softly.
"Now it's almost time for lunch, if you go to find your brother, maybe you can meet Lord Siqing. If Lord Siqing asks you casually, we can be regarded as placing an order in front of Lord Siqing, is this reasonable? β
Wu Yongan was a little hesitant, although he had no direct conflict with Wu Punishment, but he was one with Qiao's and Wu Yongjun, even if Wu Yongan just didn't like Wu Punishment and didn't hate him, but at this moment, he was a little embarrassed to ask him to touch Wu Punishment's light.
Bai Sizheng sensed something wrong from his words and expression, so he didn't say anything more, and left without saying anything.
Wu Yongan returned to the desk and sat down, always restless, repeatedly making mistakes in the pen, gritting his teeth, or according to what Bai Sizheng said, he went to Wu for punishment.
Along the way, he stopped and stopped, turned back and forth, opened his mouth to ask people and couldn't ask, but he was also hit by mistake, and met Wu Zhi and Yan Siqing coming out of the conference hall together, and were about to go to the dining room in the back.
Wu Zhi and Yan Siqing are generally tall, but their appearances are very different, one is white and cold, and the other has a big black face. It's just that the frowning look at people is very similar.
Wu Yongan saw Wu Punishment, as if he was dumb, and he couldn't say a word for a long time, but Wu Punishment glanced at him strangely, and turned his head to Yan Siqing and said, "This is my second brother." β
Yan Siqing glanced at Wu Yongan and said, "I know, the son-in-law of the Gao family." β
At the beginning, when the Gao family took advantage of Yan Siqing's trip to Beijing to review a major case, they transferred Wu Yongan from the inspection department to Dali Temple with the help of Shaoqing of Dali Temple.
Although the Dali Temple under the Inspection Department was transferred from time to time, Wu Yongan climbed too fast. Degrading him to a commentator, although it is a good trend, it is also Yan Siqing's please.
Wu Yongan's face was red and white, red because he felt ashamed, and white because he was afraid.
Up and down Dali Temple, who is not afraid of Yan Siqing, who does not recognize the six relatives who started the case?
But Wu Zhi just got the blue eyes of the king of Hades, and he had the honor of eating at the same table.
"Did the second brother also go to the dining hall?"
Although Wu Punishment doesn't look down on Wu Yongan's life, the two have never really faced a conflict of interest.
Although Wu Yongan watched everything, he didn't hurt him in the end.
Wu Zhi didn't want to deliberately humiliate Wu Yongan, so he didn't have to say it to death, and he would do it absolutely nothing.
"Yes." Wu Yongan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Wu Zhiken talking, and followed them as if he was on the way, and sneered: "I don't know what dishes are available today." β
Wu Punishment was the first day he arrived at Dali Temple, so he naturally couldn't answer what he said, Yan Siqing didn't like him, and it was impossible to answer, so Wu Yongan was left dry.
As soon as I entered the dining hall, there were already a few people eating, and when I saw the three of them coming in, I couldn't figure out the situation, so I just said: "Yan Siqing'an." β
A few petty officials of the same rank as Wu Yongan saw that he was also following behind Yan Siqing, and couldn't help but whisper.
Wu Yongan regards himself as superior, and he has always been arrogant to them, and the relationship is not good, and there are many other people, so he is a little excluded. Wu Yongan noticed the gaze of those people, and couldn't help but feel a little proud, and walked with his head held high.
Yan Siqing probably really appreciated Wu Punishment, and personally explained the situation of this dining hall to him with great interest.
"The meals in the canteen are all according to the official rank, two liters of seven to nine grades of white rice, one liter of noodles, and three spoonfuls of oil. There are some dishes and fruits in the fourth to sixth grades, and the rice noodles are also finer. The further up the road is more abundant. β
Wu Zhi smiled rarely, and said to Yan Siqing: "What about Lord Siqing's meal?" β
He smiled a little moist, which made Yan Siqing think of his son, and he also smiled, patted Wu Zhi's back, and said: "Today's dining hall has not prepared your share, and it can't make you hungry, so I'll take you to taste it!" β
As he spoke, he took Wu Zhi towards a private room guarded by a special person in the dining hall.
This private room only needs three grades and above officials can enter, in addition to the banquet and entertainment, generally only Yan Siqing can be used, even if it is the two young masters in the Dali Temple, they can only use the private room next to it.
Seeing Wu Zhi and Yan Siqing walking in, Wu Yongan didn't think about it, and subconsciously wanted to follow up, but was stopped by the guards at the door.
"Huh?" Wu Yongan's head suddenly burst into commotion, and his face was as red as a pig's kidney.
Wu Zhi heard the sound, turned around to look, and saw the door slowly closing, and the expression on Wu Yongan's face was really embarrassed to the point of being beyond measure.
