Chapter 10 The Elders of the Rivers and Lakes
In the early summer of Jingshi, the sound of cicadas is not harsh, and the night is still a little cool.
When Lu Hanjiang and his entourage returned to the Yamen, the guards guarding the door had already changed twice, and under the lights, the prestige of Beizhen Fusi was undoubtedly revealed.
"Lord Lu." The guards on either side bowed their heads and saluted, but the hands holding their swords did not leave.
"Hmm."
Lu Hanjiang turned over and dismounted, and the two black-robed chief flags ushered in from under the door, one led his horse, and the other stepped forward and said softly: "Lord Wu is already in the lobby, please go quickly." ”
Wu Qiming, one of the two pacification envoys of Jinyiwei, is in charge of the Beizhen Fusi and is Lu Hanjiang's boss.
This time, the matter in Huashan made a lot of noise, and the dead Jiang Xiao was also Wu Qiming's subordinate, so he had to come forward.
Lu Hanjiang took three steps and walked in two steps, entered the lobby, and found that in addition to the pacification envoy Wu Qiming, there were also two old acquaintances, Deputy Qianhu Liu Yishou and Deputy Qianhu should be safe.
Jinyi Wei thousand households, set up 14 people, the official position is five products, the so-called deputy thousand households, there is no limit on the number of people, it is from the five products, it is considered a thousand households.
Historically, when there is a vacancy in thousands of households, they are selected from among the deputy thousands of households, and there are rarely skipping promotions or external transfers.
Seeing them appear here, Lu Hanjiang probably understood Wu Qiming's intention today.
"I've seen adults." Lu Hanjiang clasped his fists and saluted.
"Well, you're here." Wu Qiming sat in front of the case, and when he saw Lu Hanjiangzhi, he put down the wooden card in his hand, got up and left his seat.
Lu Hanjiang glanced at it, the wooden plaque was written with Jiang Xiao's name, and then looked at the wall behind Wu Qiming, there were only thirteen wooden plaques left.
Wu Qiming was not tall, he was over forty years old, his temples were already gray, and he could not see the domineering spirit of practicing martial arts on his square face, and he spoke in a gentle manner, compared to Jinyiwei, he seemed to be more like a civil official.
However, Lu Hanjiang knew that his boss would be a storm when he made a move.
It's a literal storm, Wu Qiming is good at light skills and hidden weapons, and he doesn't know how many deadly things are hidden in his body, once he shoots, he will either die or be injured.
"Jiang Xiao's matter is known to the official, Huashan, you handled it very well." Wu Qiming first praised it without saltiness.
In fact, Wu Qiming didn't care much about Jiang Xiao's death, the backstage of Jinyiwei was the hardest in the entire rivers and lakes, but there were many lawless madmen in the world, so he had long been used to seeing life and death.
Speaking of which, this is not the first time he has received the news of the death of his subordinates, but this time it is only a thousand households who have died.
"As for those two little babies, tomorrow Nansi's people will take them away from you, and this matter has been transferred to them, so you don't have to worry about it anymore." Wu Qiming casually finalized the arrangements for the two children in Shangjidao.
"Humble duty understands."
Jinyiwei North and South Zhenfu Division, roughly classified as the South Division, the North Division, but sometimes the two Divisions will also work together to handle the case.
For example, in this Huashan incident, finding out the details of people from all walks of life and collecting intelligence is the job of the Nanzhen Fusi, and when it comes to going to the door to ask for an explanation, it is the people from the Beizhen Fusi who are arranged.
Then, Wu Qiming handed a blank wooden card to Lu Hanjiang and said, "You have worked hard all the way, rest for a few days first, and then take charge of the assessment of taking over the thousand households." ”
Standing behind Lu Hanjiang is Meng Yuan, the commander of Jinyiwei, which is not a secret within Jinyiwei, and Wu Qiming can be said to take great care of him.
In addition to the normal rest, there are no detailed regulations for trimming or holidays in the regulations, and it all depends on how Shangfeng arranges.
Moreover, under normal circumstances, the assessment of thousands of households is handled by the pacification envoys, one is for martial arts considerations, and the other is that it can also be used to leave a feeling of support and cultivate some cronies.
Now Wu Qiming has handed over the assessment work to Lu Hanjiang, although there are only two people to choose from, but Lu Hanjiang can earn a lot of favors.
"Master Xie's cultivation."
Wu Qiming patted Lu Hanjiang's shoulder closely, said a few words of encouragement, and left the lobby.
The remaining two deputy Qianhu looked at Lu Hanjiang's gaze, in addition to being very respectful, there was also a deep envy, with the backing of the Jinyi Guard's commander, Feihuang Tengda was just around the corner.
"I've seen Lord Lu."
Lu Hanjiang looked at these two people, they were both Jinyiwei who were resident in Beijing, and they saw him a lot on weekdays, and they knew each other well.
Their ability, Lu Hanjiang never doubted, they can achieve the position of deputy thousand households, not to mention how powerful the basic ability is, at least it will not be mediocre.
Therefore, the assessment of Jinyi Wei Qianhu is mainly focused on one point, that is, the fist is hard enough.
In previous years' assessments, it was nothing more than picking some tricky cases, and then letting these deputy thousands of households handle it, and whoever did it beautifully would be promoted.
Lu Hanjiang was the same at the beginning, the difference is that when he was assessed, he was the only candidate.
After a large number of these two people, Lu Hanjiang said: "You go back first, and come back in two days." ”
"Yes."
The two saluted and stepped back, Lu Hanjiang turned to look at the wooden plate of Jiang Xiao on the case, alone, he walked over and picked it up and hung it in the empty space on the wall.
He shook his head again, took the wooden card off, and put it back on top of the case.
"Lao Jiang, ......"
......
Lu Hanjiang has a mansion in Beijing, and three in and three out is not small, no matter how big it is, with his status as a fifth-grade official, he is not qualified to live.
He had not yet taken a wife, and there was only him and a butler and a few servants in the courtyard, which was the simplest among his colleagues.
Because of the private agreement with Shang Jidao, Lu Hanjiang naturally couldn't throw the two children to the Jinyi Wei Yamen, so he brought them back to his home and temporarily arranged for them to stay for one night.
The next day, the person who picked them up came, never expected that the person in charge of handing them over would be Qiao Shifang, Lu Hanjiang gasped, and felt that his teeth were very sore.
Qiao Shifang, a native of the capital, an official to Jinyi Wei Qianhu, belongs to the Nanzhen Fusi, and is the kind of person who stays in the Beijing division when he has nothing to do, and he has to stay in the Beijing division even more if he has something.
This is not the key, Qiao Shifang This guy is the person of the Four Princes.
It may be a little inaccurate to say this, after all, the four princes and the original Lu Hanjiang are the same kind of people, they are outliers in the system, and they belong to the fanatical spiritual Jianghu people, even if you are a person with a big stone in his chest, he can call you a brother and sister.
But the fact that Qiao Shifang is a friend of the four princes can't be faked, and it is common for two prodigal sons to go to the Qinglou together.
The four princes don't like literature and love martial arts, one has no power and the other does not form a party, and they want to go to the rivers and lakes to roam the rivers and lakes, but unfortunately they can't even get out of the capital for many years.
The relationship between him and Qiao Shifang is also on the surface, so it is not a taboo.
Lu Hanjiang looked at Qiao Shifang with a smile on his face, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, in the end, he pretended to be an old man who was not as good as the real old Jianghu.
He has always been curious about what Shang Jidao has, and he actually dared to entrust the two children to Jinyiwei, he never thought that there would be a prince, so it seems that this fourth emperor is not as simple as it seems.
What made Lu Hanjiang even more helpless was that he was unknowingly pulled onto this thief ship by the bastard Shang Jidao.
