The banquet lasted until it was about to disperse, and at this time, Wu Hanlin stood up and clapped his hands.

The noisy hall suddenly fell silent.

However, some officials drank too much, and they were shouting and drinking crazy, so the officials next to him immediately grabbed him by the collar and opened the bow left and right to give him a few big mouths to make him sober up.

The drunken official looked at Wu Hanlin who stood up in shock, and hurriedly thanked the official who slapped him, and sat down with his neck bent.

Wu Hanlin said: "Everyone, you are full of wine and food, and this official is here to introduce another friend to you." ”

The handsome middle-aged man with a feminine face sitting at the bottom of him stood up and saluted everyone.

Wu Hanlin continued: "This is the county king of my court officials, Wang Da's temperament is weak, he is not good at overflowing words, and he is not good at becoming the focus of attention, so he did not let this official make a special introduction before. ”

Knowing the identity of everyone, the officials in the room were full of energy, just like a group of male fighting cocks when they saw a little hen.

This is a high-ranking official of the ministry!

Since the Sui and Tang dynasties, the Ministry of Officials has been listed as the head of the six departments of Shangshu Province, which consists of the Department of Officials, the Department of Seals, the Division of Honors, and the Department of Examination and Merit, which are in charge of the appointment and dismissal of officials in the world, examinations, promotions, awards, transfers and other affairs.

In other words, although it is mainly up to the emperor's will whether everyone here will be promoted or demoted in the future, the emperor must listen to the relevant reports if he wants to make a judgment on their promotion.

As the saying goes, there are people in the court who are good at doing things, and there are people in the ministry who are good at being officials, and even though the officials are not high-ranking officials, as the people around the officials and scholars, they have great energy.

As long as they mention their names in the ears of the officials from time to time, so that the superiors can remember that there is such a person as themselves, it will play a big role at the critical moment.

Wang Zhijun was indeed as low-key as Wu Hanlin said, he saluted the officials, and then retreated with a smile.

Wu Hanlin stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Lord Wang and His Royal Highness the Prince of the World came to our Shangyuan Mansion this time, firstly, to inspect the merits of our hundred officials, and secondly, to read out an appointment on behalf of the Son of Heaven. ”

Saying that, he stretched out his hand and said, "Lord Wang, please." ”

Wang Zhijun took out a holy decree from his sleeve and said in a deep voice: "Listen to Wang Qilin, the iron captain of the Heavenly Prison Shangyuan Mansion, come out to listen to the decree!"

Wu Hanlin and Taiba stood on either side of him, one right and one left.

Wang Qilin stepped forward and knelt down to salute: "Xiaguan Wang Qilin, long live my emperor, long live, long live, long live!"

Wang Zhijun opened the holy decree and said in a suppressed voice: "Haotian has a fate, and the emperor accepts it!"

"The peace of the country and the prison of heaven are covered and the discipline of the court is all due to the ability ......"

Wang Qilin vaguely felt that these words were a little familiar, he still didn't understand what they meant, but he heard a key word 'Bronze Captain'!

After reading the decree, Wang Zhijun said, 'Please accept the decree', and handed over the decree to him.

Wang Qilin thanked the emperor for his grace and carefully put away the holy decree.

Come on, there's one more heirloom.

Wang Zhijun said with a smile: "Congratulations to Lord Wang on his promotion to Bronze Captain, Lord Taiba, this Lord Wang is the fastest person to be promoted in the Heavenly Prison, right? ”

A smile appeared on Taiba's face, and he said: "Lord Wang is shrewd, capable, loyal and patriotic, not only a talent of my county, but also a talent of my Han Dynasty. ”

What can Wang Qilin say? He can only sincerely say that what you said is right.

Liu Wen also came over to toast him, and this time he took the initiative to toast for the first time in the entire banquet.

The eyes of the officials in the room were red.

They couldn't help but wonder, what were they doing when they were the age of this kid?

Then after thinking about it, they found that they were either studying the sages or boiling their qualifications in various small places, and they didn't have the official fortune of Wang Qilin, and they sadly found that they were not as handsome as him at that time.

This group of officials who are usually majestic and majestic felt a deep sense of frustration, and they suffered a dimensionality reduction blow!

The reading of the holy decree was regarded as a beautiful tail for this dinner, Wu Hanlin announced the end of the banquet, and Wang Qilin was surrounded.

The officials sold him well, and as usual, they entered the link of introducing the object:

"I heard that Wang Tongwei is still a single Langjun? I have a daughter who is very beautiful, do you want Wang Tongwei to go to my mansion to have a look?"

"A strange man like Wang Tongwei marries a wife not only by his appearance, but also by his skills. Lord Wang, it's not a secret, the official's sister is a cultivator like you, and she has cultivated well, and she has just entered the Five Rank Realm......"

"Lord Song is sixty-nine years old this year, right?

"Zeng has a lot of mouths, as the so-called female junior holds gold bricks, and the female college is crushed to death by 30 gold bricks, what does it matter if you are older. But Lord Zeng, you don't have a daughter in the boudoir or an unmarried sister at home, so what are you going to do?"

"I have a promising son at home!"

Wang Qilin was stunned.

Lord Zeng hurriedly added: "Who said that I can only introduce my daughter-in-law to Lord Wang? This official wants to introduce a confidant to Lord Wang, my son is both civil and military, and he can write books and go to the end of the world with a sword. ”

"How do you pay it?"

All the officials were muffled, they looked at each other in horror, and some were already muttering 'insulting Sven'.

Wang Qilin smelled it, and the last thing was said by Xu Da.

He was not carried away by these beautiful words, this will make him still wonder, the above said that he became a copper captain, so where is he a copper captain?

There are two copper captains in one county, and the number of copper captains in the county is full, namely Zhao Lin and Zhu Yuan, so who is going to be transferred or is he going to go to other places to be a copper captain?

He hoped that he would not be transferred away again, although he really wanted to go to the end of the world with a sword to see the prosperity of the world, but he couldn't go too fast.

At the end of the feast, the officials finally went back to their homes to find their mothers.

Wang Qilin still didn't know where he was going.

He went to ask Wang Zhijun, but Wang Zhijun didn't know, that is, he asked him to get up and go to the capital as soon as possible, and the saint had other arrangements for him, and how to arrange it was to listen to the holy decree when he arrived in the capital.

In this way, he returned to the fifth flavor in a daze, and found that the fifth flavor had already closed, after all, it was the second half of the night.

So he waited until the next day in a daze, and after the fifth taste opened the door, he went directly to collapse in the arms of Suisui Niangzi.

A broad, towering and soft heart.

He was enjoying himself and noticed that something was pushing his calf, he looked down and saw that Eight Meow stood up and pushed him with his front paws, and winked at him: Dad, hurry up, it's the cub's turn.

Wang Qilin didn't kick it, which proved that he was full of sincere love for this cub.

Suisui asked him softly, "What's wrong with Shichiro, why are you so depressed?"

Wang Qilin said weakly: "I need AV, no, comfort, lady, Lang Jun, I need comfort." ”

"What the hell is going on?" asked Suisui Niangzi.

Wang Qilin said: "I went to a dinner tonight, it was a dinner party to receive the prince of Huan Wang, you know that the prince of Huan Wang came to our Shangyuan Mansion, right? ”

Suisui Niangzi suddenly, she stroked Wang Qilin's short hair and said, "Is he making trouble for you at the banquet?" Is he still warning you in private to let you leave the slave house?"

Wang Qilin said: "He wants to harm me. ”

Suisui Niangzi smiled and said with great interest: "Then how about the two of us join forces to assassinate him tonight? and then go away, the slave family knows many places, no matter how powerful the emperor in this world is, he will not want to find us!"

"No, no," Wang Qilin waved his hand, "We can't run now, because Lang Jun and I have been promoted again." ”

Suisui Niangzi was stunned, and silently pushed him away and walked to the back kitchen.

Wang Qilin asked, "What are you going to do?"

Suisui Niangzi said without looking back: "Go and talk to Bao Da and them, pack your things and get ready to go." ”

Wang Qilin chased after him and saw an old man in the backyard sneakily following a diner into the toilet.

He wondered if he had run into a thief or a pervert, so he quietly followed him and eavesdropped outside the toilet.

Then I heard a voice that lowered his voice: "This brother, the old man is proficient in the world's swordsmanship ninety-nine, but a few days ago, he lost his body for a while and owed people money and was trapped here." Now it takes ten gold baht to get out of trouble, I hope that Brother Tai can help him, as long as Brother Tai helps the old man get out of trouble, the old man will ensure that you become the first swordsman in Shangyuan Mansion afterwards!"

"Get out!"

"Listen to me, hey, if you don't listen, forget it, why do you still use urine?

Wang Qilin was stunned when he heard it, what are you doing here?

He waited outside the toilet, and soon the sneaky old man came out.

Seeing his appearance clearly, Wang Qilin was happy: "Hey, White Ape Gong?"

The old ape raised his head and said, "Don't call me Bai Ape, I insulted this name, I have changed my name now, I am called Bai Gan!"

"Nothing?"

"Eight years in vain. ”

Wang Qilin was surprised: "Yo, it's very fashionable, and you have a four-character name?"

The old ape muttered, "You can say whatever you like, anyway, the ape has lost its light, and only darkness remains." ”

After saying this, he left, picked up a big broom and began to sweep the floor.

Wang Qilin felt that this product was too alive, he laughed and said: "Let's stop playing dumb riddles, you say frankly, what's the matter, why did you work here for eight years?"

The white ape stood up with the big broom, leaned on it and looked at the blue sky melancholy: "That's a long ...... to say."

"That's a long story short!"

"Oh, to put it simply, I owe ten gold baht to the proprietress who made me work in the shop for eight years before I could be free. ”

Wang Qilin said: "You are a master of swordsmanship, it's not easy to get ten gold baht?"

The white ape man hung his head and said, "It's not easy, because the proprietress doesn't allow me to leave this shop, so I can only ask the diner for ten gold baht." But these people don't know Taishan, they don't believe me, no matter what I say, they don't believe it, they don't lend it to me!"

"If you don't borrow it, you will rob it!"

The white ape shook his head and said: "Robbing others will cause a loss to the Dao heart, and it will be difficult to enter the Dao in this life, and it will be a loss for ten gold baht to lose the Dao heart?

Wang Qilin said: "Then you show these people your skills and let them know how powerful you are, so that they won't lend you ten gold baht?"

The white ape shook his head again and said, "The proprietress said that if I dare to show my cultivation in the store, she will poke me to death with chopsticks!"

He thought that Wang Qilin didn't know how powerful Sui Sui was, and deliberately lowered his voice and added: "This boss lady is a powerful character, her cultivation is very high, higher than me!"

Wang Qilin said: "Taller than you is a powerful character? ”

Hearing this, the white ape was angry to death: The truth you tell is so hurtful!

Wang Qilin glanced at him and gave him a look: "It's better to be like this, how about I borrow you ten gold baht to escape the shackles of the boss lady?"

The white ape said happily, "Okay." ”

But he immediately became vigilant: "You must have the conditions? Aren't you? You Wang Qilin is not a good person. ”

Wang Qilin sighed and said: "I'm just a good person, otherwise based on what you just said, I would have poked a hole in your body with chopsticks." ”

"Then will you lend me ten gold baht unconditionally?" said the White Ape Princess, rejuicating.

"I don't want to," Wang Qilin said, "If you have the conditions, you have to work for me, but it's not for nothing, I have twenty silver baht a month." ”

The white ape spat and swept the floor with a broom.

Wang Qilin asked, "What's the matter? I'll increase your income twenty times." ”

The white ape turned around and grinned at him: "Am I stupid for you to be an old ape? The danger of working for you is 200 times higher than sweeping the floor here! I am shrewd old ape!"

Wang Qilin said: "In this way, our business is easy to discuss, how much salary do I give you, are you willing to do it with me?"

The white ape man rolled his eyes and smiled slyly: "Ten gold baht a month!"

Wang Qilin shook his head and said, "What about dreaming! Then you can work here for nothing for eight years, maybe you will die in less than eight years, so that you can be liberated in advance." ”

The White Ape Gong said proudly: "I am a companion sword ape, and my lifespan is five hundred years, and now a hundred years have not passed, so what if I wait for another eight years?"

Wang Qilin asked curiously, "Is the companion sword ape also a spirit animal?" Then why are you so weak?"

The white ape ignored him, and this truth hurt people again.

Wang Qilin said: "It's better to take a step back like this, and I'll give you a gold baht a month, how about it? You can be freed from working under me for ten months." ”

The white ape shook his head and continued to work.

Wang Qilin sighed and said: "Eight years, when you enter the rivers and lakes again in the future, get together with old friends, when the time comes, they will ask you, saying that they haven't seen you for eight years, how did you live?"

"How do you answer? Eight years, do you know how I've spent these eight years? I sweep people every day!"

When this word spreads to the rivers and lakes, it will be interesting. ”

The white ape stood up and said, "One gold baht is not enough, five gold baht a month!"

Wang Qilin said: "Okay, then I'll lend you ten gold baht first, and then you can pay me back in two months, okay?"

The white ape said, "Yes." ”

"But there is interest," Wang Qilin took out a copper baht and showed it, "The interest of ten gold baht is, give me one copper baht on the first day, two on the second day, and four on the third day, so as to double every day after that." ”

The white ape said happily: "Okay, old ape, I am bright, what is the interest of one copper baht a day? I will give you a silver baht a day!"

Wang Qilin said: "It's not one copper baht a day, but one copper baht on the first day, and every day after that, it will be doubled on the basis of the previous day!"

The white ape said impatiently: "Yes, I know, I'm not an idiot, I'll give you silver baht, I won't bully you!"

Wang Qilin had no choice but to agree to his conditions.

He had never seen such a strange request, was this because he was too lightly pitted?

From now on, he has an ape spirit under him who is a master of swordsmanship.

The white ape asked him for ten gold baht, and his momentum changed violently, turning from an old man to a bad old man.

He rushed into the kitchen and slapped the money to Suisui Niangzi and shouted: "Give you the money, Lao Tzu will stop doing it! Hmph, the wages of the past few days will be given to you by Lao Tzu!"

Suisui Niangzi raised her head gloomily, and there was thunder and lightning brewing in her eyes.

The white ape man decisively crossed her figure and looked at the Hu Tu in front of him and said, "I was talking to you, didn't you hear it?"

Suisui Niangzi put away the golden baht and asked, "Where did you get the money?"

Wang Qilin walked in and said happily: "I gave it, I made an agreement with him......"

He said the agreement, and a trace of sluggishness appeared on Suisui Niangzi's charming face.

She looked at the White Ape Gong carefully, and sighed: "No wonder my demon clan has a long lifespan and a high level of cultivation, but it can't fight the human race no matter what, I understand the reason when I see you." ”

The white ape asked her suspiciously, "What do you mean?"

Suisui Niangzi said: "A few days ago, the slave family forced you to stay here to work, it was the slave family's fault, and the slave family should not bully fools. In the future, the fifth taste is your mother's family, whether you are bullied by people or demons outside, you can come back to your mother's family to administer justice. ”

The white ape man was debt-free and light, and walked out with his hands behind his back, shaking his head as he walked: "What are you talking about, silly old lady? Old ape, I am a fool? I am the smartest one in my sword ape clan in a hundred years!"

Suisui Niangzi began to ponder, should she go to the pit a group of companion sword apes and come back to work for herself?

She pondered for a while and gave up this tempting idea, bullying fools would be punished by God.

Wang Qilin took the white ape back to the post house and said, "There is another newcomer in our team today, everyone is chirping. ”

The white ape waved his hand triumphantly and said: "Old ape, I am not the same thing as you eagle claw grandsons, I will not always be committed to the imperial court, but will only work here for two months, so you can treat me as a passerby, and in two months I will blow past you like a gust of wind." ”

He blew a breath, and a gust of wind swept by: "Just like this, the wind passed without a trace." ”

He cheered with joy at the thought of his free life in two months.

Wang Qilin smiled but did not speak.

He told Wang Liuwu the news of his promotion to bronze lieutenant, and Wang Liuwu said, "Oh, okay. ”

The old mud leg couldn't understand the identity of the copper captain at all, he knew that the iron captain was an official who was bigger than the county lord, and the copper captain was also an official who was bigger than the county lord, so the two should be about the same.

According to the intention of the envoy Wang Zhijun, he also had to go to Beijing to take up his post.

This is a unified process, and officials at this level will have to brush their presence in front of the emperor and the Qinglong King.

But Wang Qilin still has a lot of things to do in Shangyuan Mansion, the first of which is the murder of Mr. Zu, which should be related to the General's Mansion.

Secondly, there is the fact that Jin Xuzi is the head of the Jinshan faction, he believes that Jin Xuzi is the person who does not stay, and through him, he can touch the melon and find out the person who does not stay.

The matter of not staying in the line was more complicated, and he decided to solve the murder of Mr. Zu first.

Fortunately, the imperial court left him time, and he had to wait for the arrival of the new iron captain of the Shangyuan Mansion before he could leave.

Now that the official position has reached the level of bronze captain, Wang Qilin has to integrate the resources in his hands, and he has to organize a strong team, a team with a clear division of labor.

On the twenty-fourth day of the first lunar month, he summoned his subordinates to a meeting, at which he expressed his thoughts for many days:

He, Xu Da, and Xie Toad are the blades of the team, and the three of them are going to fight guerrilla warfare, where there is danger, they are the assault group. As his sword-bearer, Swallow Mouth was also incorporated into this group, and when he heard the news, Swallow Mouth shed tears of joy in his loyalty.

Ma Ming has a clear mind, is dignified, and can convince the public, and his cultivation is limited and can only deal with ghosts, so he can stay and sit in the headquarters. Shen Yi will be his assistant, because only he can suppress this Han monk.

In addition, there are second-class knives of the third class of Wuhan University in the headquarters.

Shen San is rich, and his supernatural power is natal money, and an active mind will make money, so he will command the logistics team.

Chen Weiyue is strong, fast, warlike and good at fighting, and he will lead Shu Yu and White Ape Gong to form a support group.

Wu Wu is a golden Gu girl, who knows pharmacology and poison, she came to command the medical team, Xiang Peihu was her deputy, and at the same time guarded her safety. Master C is a puppet and also has a rough understanding of pharmacology, so he is classified into this group.

Wang Qilin now has two crows, so he has set up Thunderbolt to communicate information from all parties, which is the information group.

In addition, a civilian team is needed, and it just so happened that Xu Xiaoda had nothing to do, so Wang Qilin divided him, of course he was the commander of the light pole......

And this time to go to the General's Mansion to investigate the murder of Mr. Zu will be the first battle after their grouping!

Wang Qilin was in high spirits and said: "As far as our division of labor, absolute science and absolute metaphysics, no matter what case in the future, it will be no problem, let's go!"

Eight Meow stood up and spread her claws to block his way, and pointed at Nine-Six.

Wang Qilin rubbed its head melon and said with a smile: "Of course you and Jiuliu are in a group with your father, we are a happy family!"

Yameow nodded in satisfaction.

Swallowing his mouth and trembling, he said: "Seventh Master, I am a little monster, just because I brought you a sword, and then I can join the charging group, isn't this a bit insulting to the charging group?"

Wang Qilin said: "You not only bring me a sword, you also have to give us a wind." In short, existence is reasonable, even a piece of paper has its use, you don't feel sorry for yourself, believe in yourself, you will become a useful member of the stormtroopering group. ”

Swallow with a hideous expression.

Wang Qilin nodded with satisfaction: "That's right, it's to be fierce! It's to be domineering!"

Swallow: Am I not smiling bitterly?

Xu Da rubbed his head and said, "You can scare off a lot of people like this, and if you don't help it, you can block the knife for us at the critical moment." ”
