Today's weather in Tiandu City is exceptionally good, and the sky is as blue as a piece of pure and clear glass.

A fairy paper crane flew through the neighborhood, flew over the downtown sky, sprinkled with extraordinary light particles along the way, and finally turned a graceful arc over the royal street, and flew into the Vientiane Shrine, which symbolized the power center of the Daheng Dynasty......

"That illegitimate son of the Gu family, can he go to Tiandu City today?"

In the center of the two-zhang square lotus platform, a middle-aged woman is meditating.

But the heavy curtain obscured her true face, revealing a mysterious majesty to her image.

Kneeling in front of the lotus platform was a woman in a white dress and palace costume.

The bandeau was pressed very low, and a line of snow-white gutter was clipped.

The person is also extremely beautiful, with a sharp melon seed face and faint distant mountain eyebrows. A pair of peach blossom eyes are faint and cold, as if drunk but not drunk, revealing an unpredictable hazy beauty.

"Returning to Your Majesty, I received a report from the secret agent, since the Gu family left Ningzhou, he took a boat all the way to the north, and just entered the waters of the White River yesterday, and should be able to report to the Guangming Temple this morning."

The woman in the white dress replied unhurriedly. Her voice, like her temperament, was cold and cold.

In the curtain, Queen Dugu muttered for a few breaths, and said quietly:

"Now the situation is turbulent, and the shark people of the East China Sea and the Chenyue people are eyeing each other. The witch people in southern Xinjiang have repeatedly rebelled. The beast barbarians in the north are even more ready to move. Even at the foot of the capital on this day, there have been endless tricks in recent years. ”

"Now is the time to employ people, and the north cannot ignore the heat for a day! But the widow's own family has always regarded this Gu Changan as a thorn in the flesh, and sometimes even the widow can't help but feel that there is a bit of a fuss. In order to stabilize Gu Yanlie, and in order to block the family's leisurely mouth, the widow had to let this Gu Changan go to Guangming Temple for some training. ”

Speaking of this, her words changed abruptly: "Qiushui-kun, what do you think of the decision of the widow?" ”

Qiushui Jun smiled, and his voice was as clear as snow: "Her Majesty the Queen of Heaven is wise and martial, how can I, as a servant, talk about it?" ”

Queen Dugu sneered: "Baili Qiushui, you and your brother Baili Qiuyang are really more and more similar, both upright and feminine. ”

Baili Qiushui smiled, but he didn't catch the topic, but asked: "Since His Majesty the Queen of Heaven arranged for the Gu family to go to the Guangming Temple for training, what about after he goes?" ”

Queen Dugu said: "Then it depends on his own creation." If he proves himself to be a malleable talent, the widow will continue to protect him. If he is just a mediocre talent, then he will live and die. ”

At this moment, the paper crane flew in through a large openwork window and spun around the dormitory, soaking out graceful and light spiritual particles.

Baili Qiushui exclaimed: "There is a letter coming!" ”

In the curtain, Queen Dugu said indifferently: "Open it and take a look." ”

Baili Qiushui stretched out her snow-white and luscious right palm, and the fairy paper crane landed in her hand leisurely.

Then she opened the paper crane, and the beige letterhead was blank, but soon lines of black writing appeared on the paper.

After reading it, she was taken aback: "There was an explosion in the batch of boats from Ningzhou!" ”

……

A paper crane flew out of the Vientiane Shrine, flew over the neighborhood, flew over the downtown area, and finally landed in the Guangming Temple compound, which symbolized the highest judicial body of the Daheng Dynasty......

In the Hanging Mirror Hall, a big calloused hand dismantled the fairy paper crane.

After reading the content of the letter above, the reader's face suddenly tightened, and the two thick eyebrows were tightly locked into a "one" word.

In the next moment, he was furious and violently overturned the big sandalwood table in front of him!

A set of precious blue and white porcelain teacups, teapots, and tea trays all flew out, and all the tea sets "Ping Langlang" were smashed to the ground, and the light brown tea was also spilled on the ground.

The blue-robed officials present were almost frightened and lowered their eyebrows, and the two trembled!

Han Dongting threw the letter aside, angry and helpless: "Quickly call the bad people, and let them go with our night envoy to wipe the ass of the people of Jingzhao Mansion!" ”

A blue-robed official immediately walked out of the crowd and ran to convey Han Dongting's order.

Suddenly, a guard hurried into the Hanging Mirror Hall, saw the fallen sandalwood table and the mess on the ground, and couldn't help but report in a trembling voice: "Han ...... Han Shaoqing, there are newcomers from Ningzhou who came to take up their new positions. ”

Han Dongting's anger still did not subside: "Xia Xiaocicada, right? Bring someone to me. ”

The guard took Gu Changan into the Hanging Mirror Hall.

Gu Changan saw the tea table and broken tea set on the ground, and saw a middle-aged official in a scarlet robe and embroidered pigs on a sandalwood chair in front of him, looking at him gloomily, and suddenly felt a little bad.

"Clerical?" Han Dongting slightly restrained his anger and stretched out his hand to Gu Changan.

This person should be Han Dongting, the Shaoqing of today's Guangming Temple, who is known for his vigorous and resolute temper. In the flow of thoughts, Gu Changan politely handed over the letter of recommendation from Ningzhou Thorn Shi and the approval of the ministry, and then waited anxiously on the side like a little Mengxin who came to the job interview.

Han Dongting looked through the ten lines at a glance, but he shook his head again and again, and asked sharply: "I said that I would report at the end of the hour, why was it too late?" ”

Gu Changan said in a low voice: "Back to Han Shaoqing, a boat exploded on the way, and it was delayed for some hours because of the rescue......"

"Being late is being late, and you dare to quibble?!"

Han Dongting was furious, and smashed Gu Changan's letter of recommendation and the approval of the ministry to the ground, his face was as red as burning: "Our Guangming Temple is too small to accept your big Buddha, where did you come from today, go back!" ”

Gu Changan was stunned on the spot.

The guard who led Gu Chang'an in was also stunned and said, "Han Shaoqing, this Xia Gongzi has the approval of the Ministry of Officials......

Han Dongting grabbed the guard by the collar, lifted him up an inch like a chicken, and shouted angrily: "Those miscellaneous hairs in the official department are also qualified to criticize me Han Dongting!" With that, he left the guards aside and walked out angrily.

A group of night envoys then left the Hanging Mirror Hall.

Miscellaneous footsteps.

The letter of recommendation and the approval document brought by Gu Changan were stepped on a few footprints.

Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi......

Gu Changan was about to bend down to pick up the letter of recommendation and the approval of the ministry on the ground, but there was already a big hand with a rough and thick calloused hand that picked up the two documents first, first patted the shoe print on the soil, and then put it in front of him to read.

Gu Changan was stunned for a moment and looked carefully.

The man was dressed in a short brown official coat and had a "rotten fishing net" draped over his left shoulder. Thick eyebrows and big eyes, unshaven beard, and the greasy face seems to have not been washed for many days. The men around him also wore a similar "rotten fishing net" draped over their left shoulder, all of which looked like an organization.

This person said with a grin: "Xia Xiaochan, once used to be the law of Ningzhou, and has handled thousands of large and small cases and has never missed...... Gee! Looks like a talent. ”

Immediately, he picked his lower nostrils with the little finger of his right hand and looked directly at Gu Changan: "How about it, I think you can't go to this palm night, are you interested in joining us bad people?" We're short on manpower right now, and we need talent like you! ”

"Bad guy ......"

Gu Changan played with these three words in his mouth, and was a little worried for a while.

Before he entered Beijing thousands of miles, he had learned that today's Guangming Temple is mainly divided into two groups of people, one group is the night envoy, and the other group is bad people.

The palm of the night envoy has the state establishment of the Daheng Dynasty, is a person who eats public dinner, has official rank and grade, wears a sky-blue embroidered official robe, and wears a stainless steel moon blade long knife at the waist.

And the bad guys...... In fact, it is similar to the auxiliary police who ran errands and miscellaneous jobs in the previous life, there is no establishment, and there is no way to be promoted.

Gu Chang'an was naturally extremely disgusted in his heart, he was also the son of a dignified Gu family, and under the instruction of Queen Dugu, he went thousands of miles into Beijing to come to Guangming Temple to experience it, but he couldn't become a civil servant, but he was pulled on the thief ship of temporary workers.

Is it appropriate to carry my knife to kill chickens for you?

Seeing Gu Changan's strange expression, the head of the unscrupulous person laughed and said: "The world thinks that unscrupulous people are at the bottom of the market, like to scan grease on the mosquito legs of small traders, like to accept bribes from the black-hearted bosses of underground gambling houses, and like to turn the clouds and rain in the dilapidated kilns, in fact, ......."

Gu Changan said casually: "Actually, what? ”

The bad guy smiled slickly: "Actually, it's all true!" ”
