To tell a joke, the officials promised that the officials recommended by the ministry would not be greedy.

It's as if the cat seller tells the buyer that the cat doesn't steal.

Just listen to it, it's not worth believing.

However, the world is like this, the world is as black as a crow, and Fang Jue didn't think that everyone was Bao Qingtian.

can be used, there is no big problem, the entire officialdom atmosphere and the rule of officials are clear, and it is not something that Fang Jue can influence.

Fortunately, today's Great Xia is not too bad.

In the past six months, Fang Jue has not heard of any senior official in the capital who has been dismissed and investigated for corruption.

"Young Master Walk Slowly......"

After having lunch at the ministry, Fang Jue took Dianyi and left.

Shangguan Ding personally came out to see him off, after all, the official is a first-class official, and this is also the basic etiquette.

"Young master, the food in this ministry is good, not to mention the delicacies of the mountains and seas, but it is also a little bit of the taste of drunken immortal buildings."

Dian Yi drove the car, holding a toothpick in one hand and picking his teeth, and praised it.

"It's all official masters, how can they not understand enjoyment, this official is never a Qingshui Yamen, even if it is placed on the flying dragon sea cucumber, I will not be surprised." Fang Jue said lightly.

After a meal, as soon as he let Dian eat, Fang Jue only ate and was not hungry, because these so-called delicacies were still lacking in his opinion.

The taste is not enough, and it can't compare to the chef of Fangjiazhuang.

"Young master, let's go back now?" Dianyi threw away the toothpick, held the reins with both hands, and turned his head to look at Fang Jue in the carriage.

"No, don't go back yet, go to the criminal department."

"The Criminal Department?" Dianyi wondered, "What are you going to do in that place, bad luck." ”

Fang Jue glared and said, "Su Lin, the secretary of the Criminal Department, has spoken for me, and he still has to go and thank you." ”

……

The Yamen of the Criminal Department.

The distance between the six departments is not too far, and the distance from the official department to the criminal department is only half an hour.

Fang Jue happened to take a nap in the carriage.

"Young master, it's almost there." Dian heard it early in the morning, and the snoring sound came from the carriage, and he was almost in front of the criminal department.

Fang Jue had already woken up, so he tidied up his clothes, took out a small mirror, and looked at his hair to see if it was messy.

It's too chaotic, it's very rude to go to meet people, and it will collide with people's good luck.

People in this era all believe in this, and Fang Jue also has to pay attention to it.

"Dare to ask which old man's carriage it is?" In front of the criminal department, the government soldiers saw that a carriage had stopped, so they came up with eyes and asked.

Dian Yi: "My young master is the young master of the dynasty. ”

Fang Jue was also walking out of the carriage and had a face-to-face with the soldiers of the Criminal Department.

"It turned out to be the young master...... the soldier hurriedly said, "I'm going to tell you about my humble position, and ask Lord Shangshu to come." ”

"Go ahead." Dianyi waved his hand.

It's not like waiting in front of the gate of the Criminal Department, a distinguished guest like Fang Jue, no matter whether the Shangshu of the Criminal Department has time to see it or not, he has to take it to the back hall of the Yamen first.

Under the guidance of the soldiers of the first house, Fang Jue and the two went to the back hall to have tea, and as soon as the tea came up, they heard a burst of footsteps.

"What kind of wind is blowing the young master to my criminal department today?"

Su Lin walked in with a smile, not as unsmiling as usual, and quipped: "It's the New Year soon, is the young master here to visit the door, or is he here to catch people?" ”

"Haha......" Fang Jue was stunned when he heard this, he knew that Su Lin was joking, and the Criminal Department was also very busy during this time.

Because at the end of the year, many people want to fish people out, after all, the New Year is the biggest festival, and it is the best time to make some means and silver to fish people.

At the end of each year, the prison of the Criminal Department will clean up some prisoners who are not seriously responsible, and those who are about to reach the end of their sentence can be released as appropriate.

The reason is also very simple, the crime rate will increase during this time, and if some people are not let out, they will not be locked up in prison.

"If I'm really here to catch people, what will Su Shangshu do?" Fang Jue teased.

Su Lin had already approached and said, "Then how can the lower official have to give the young master a face?" Say, who are you going to fish? ”

"Haha......"

Fang Jue shook his head, stopped joking, and arched his hand: "I came to thank you on purpose, Su Shangshu has not thanked me for speaking up for me in the court." Take advantage of the approaching end of the year, come out to hang out and have a meal by the way. ”

"Rubbing rice?" Su Lin said with an embarrassed face, "Whoever comes to the Criminal Department to eat, they all say that they are unlucky." ”

Isn't the meal of the criminal department equal to the prison meal?

So on weekdays, there are many people who come to do errands, but there are really few who come to eat.

"If it doesn't matter, let's taste the prison food of your criminal department." Fang Jue laughed.

"The young master said in vain, how can you say this, this is unlucky." Su Lin hurriedly corrected.

However, knowing that Fang Jue was not here to fish for people, Su Lin was in a much better mood, with Fang Jue's status, if he really spoke, he would have to consider it.

"Yes, yes, it's unlucky, then I won't talk about it."

The two of them had already greeted and sat down.

There was a tea table in the middle, and a small official came up to the front and brought a set of teacups to Su Lin.

After a few weeks of the ceremony, the two of them drank tea before they started talking again.

"The young master is really polite, the lower official is in the position of the secretary of the criminal department, naturally he is respected by the laws of Great Xia, and the young master doesn't have to care too much."

Surin is still a very principled person, although sometimes, he has to think about the overall situation, but in general, he can still stick to some guidelines.

Fang Jue smiled, took out a small box from his arms, and pushed it in front of Su Lin.

Seeing this, Su Lin immediately became alert, squinted his eyes and pointed to the box: "This is?" ”

"Count it as a thank you." Fang Jue said bluntly.

"How does this work!"

Su Lin exclaimed: "This is not good, the lower officials are just impartial and righteous, not have any plans, and if it is passed on...... Doesn't it make people stain the innocence of the young master? ”

Cherishing your wings is the most important code of conduct for law enforcement officials.

In particular, in the face of a new official who is not familiar with him and has no intersection.

If this box contains something of great value, then Su Linke can't say clearly, and his servants may go to the cabinet with a twist.

"It's not anything of value, I took it from the household." Fang Jue reassured him.

Su Lin said suspiciously: "The household department brought it?" ”

He was even more surprised: "What can the young master take away from Yan Papi?" ”

Norichi listened from the sidelines and almost laughed.

It seems that this Yan Shangshu's slamming of the door is really known to the whole city.

"I'll have to see." Su Lin stretched his hand, shook off his sleeves, and slowly opened the box with both hands.

He was very curious about what Fang Jue could get from Yan Lanfeng's hands.

Whether it's expensive or not, you have to satisfy your curiosity first.

"Lord Su, please." Fang Jue made a gesture.

It is rude to open the gift in person, but Su Lin has already said it directly, obviously to prevent accidentally accepting too expensive gifts.

So if you want to take a look at it first, return it if it's valuable, and accept it if it's not too precious, so as not to be too unkind.

It's just that as soon as Surin opened the box, he was stunned.
