Chapter 62 Qualification Test
Invitation to the watchman.... Invite me?
Xu Qi'an was incredulous for a while, he remained silent and did not rush to speak.
"You are a talent, I have confirmed it when you were in the back hall of the government. It's just that there are rules for beating people, and practicing qi is the bottom line. Li Yuchun changed to a very casual sitting posture, not as aggressive as just now, and said:
"As the guardian of Dabong, the protector of His Majesty, it is normal to be more demanding.
"But you have proved you with your own skills, even if it is the refining realm, the beaters are willing to recruit you. ”
Is it because my methods are dirty enough and my mind is careful enough that I am exceptionally admitted?
Yes, this Yingong, who is half of Nanban blood, expressed his appreciation for me when he cracked the tax and silver case.
The stern-faced Yin Gong added, "Of course, the main reason is that the eldest princess recommended you. ”
Eldest princess?!Xu Qi'an was shocked again.
Who is the eldest princess, why does she recommend it, I don't know her at all. Forehead... I did hear about her in Yunlu Academy.
But, we've never met, why did she nominate me to the watchman?
Xu Qi'an was full of confusion and puzzlement, and the two silver gongs didn't seem to have any intention of solving his confusion. Or maybe they don't know it themselves.
"Other than that, the reason why the two adults didn't report me..."
Li Yuchun said with a smile: "You should know the duty of the watchman. ”
Supervising Hundred Officials.... Zhou Shilang, who was greedy for money and grain from the Mexican treasury, was not in the same camp as the watchmen, and even the downfall of Zhou Shilang was fueled by the watchman organization.... Xu Qi'an was stunned.
"Zhou Shilang will be finished sooner or later, we have already started to deal with him, but your little trick has helped us speed up the progress. The stern-faced silver gong said.
Li Yuchun glanced at him and said, "Master Sun, according to the previous agreement, I will accept this person, please give us a little space to talk." ”
Yinluo, surnamed Sun, did not leave, but stared at Xu Qi'an: "You have the right to choose, follow him or follow me." ”
"There is not much difference in power between the two of us, but he is a man who is dead and reasonable, and he doesn't know how to be flexible, and he follows his gong, and with my gong, he can buy a good courtyard in the inner city in three years at most. ”
Three years of work, a suite in the capital ... It's an irresistible temptation.... Xu Qi'an politely rejected Sun Yinluo's solicitation and said:
"At the beginning of the tax and silver case, Master Li gave me the opportunity to redeem my merits, and I have always remembered this kindness, and I want to work under him. ”
This is only one of the reasons, and the other reason is that he is unwilling to go against his heart and do too much "fishing".
Sun Yinluo nodded slightly, and said approvingly: "It is a good thing to know how to repay the kindness." ”
He went out without hesitation.
Waiting for the door to close, Li Yuchun pointed to the chair opposite, and said with a gentle smile: "Sit, introduce yourself, this official Li Yuchun, you will be your head in the future, you can call it that directly." If you don't feel used to it, it's okay to call Master Li. ”
It's okay to call you Brother Chun.... Xu Qi'an sat down and shouted "Lord Li" with a little restraint.
"You must remember that when you work under me, you must be worthy of your heart. After Li Yuchun admonished him, he began to introduce the watchman organization:
"Among the watchmen, the lowest level is the white servant, who has no establishment and does odd jobs. The second is the gong, which is a serious watchman, at least to practice the qi realm, and the monthly salary is five taels of silver and two stones of rice. Up is the silver gong, enjoying the treatment of 100 households.
"Above the silver gong is the golden gong, which is the highest position. There are only ten golden gongs in the capital of Dafeng, and they are directly under the orders of the Duke of Wei. ”
Xu Qi'an nodded, he knew these common senses, and Wei Yuan was the leader of the watchman organization.
"The duty of the watchman, supervise the hundred officials, and protect the capital. You will slowly become familiar with the specific business in the future. Li Yuchun looked at Xu Qi'an:
"You are now at the peak of the Refining Realm, I have two suggestions: First, slowly accumulate merit and wait for the opportunity. Second, pay four hundred taels of silver, and I will help you open the gate of heaven. ”
Xu Qi'an did not hesitate: "I'll choose the second one." ”
Li Yuchun narrowed his eyes: "It's quite rich." ”
"Miss Caiwei from Si Tianjian lent it to me. Xu Qi'an's face was not red, and his heart was not beating, and he threw the pot to the big-eyed beauty.
Li Yuchun nodded: "I will arrange for you to change your household registration first and go through the relevant procedures." ”
After he finished speaking, he went out, and after a while, he led in the squinting young man and the unsmiling young man.
"Song Tingfeng. The man who squinted his eyes introduced himself when he laughed, and looked Xu Qi'an up and down: "You can, come in and become a colleague?"
"Zhu Guangxiao. When the unsmiling young man had finished speaking, he stopped talking.
Xu Qi'an followed the two to go through the entry procedures, and on the way, Song Tingfeng chatted casually:
"Following Li Tou'er to do things, it is generally easier, and there are not so many intrigues. The disadvantage is to be cautious when making money, it doesn't matter if you are greedy, don't go too far. ”
"Then can you return the thirty taels of silver to me?" Xu Qi'an stared at him sincerely.
Song Tingfeng replied with a more sincere look: "When did I receive your money?"
..... Xu Qi'an grinned: "Oh, I remembered wrong." ”
"By the way, are we going to go to the Jiaofang Division tonight, together?" Song Tingfeng sent an invitation.
I hate this rotten officialdom the most .... Xu Qi'an smiled: "Okay." ”
After completing the formalities, Song Tingfeng took him to the depths of the yamen, explaining as he went: "After joining the guard, there is another process, testing qualifications. ”
"Test qualifications?" Xu Qi'an pressed his hand on the crystal stone to test the picture of the fighting rank.
It is the rules and procedures set by Wei Gong. Song Tingfeng said: "They are "wisdom", "strength" and "conscience". ”
So saying, they came to an attic, crossed the high threshold, and entered the hall on the first floor, where two lines of poetry hung on the load-bearing columns:
I am willing to serve the dust with a deep heart.
Do not seek self-interest.
"This was written by Wei Gong to warn and warn us. Song Tingfeng said.
"Obviously, it doesn't work. Xu Qi'an glanced at him, and his words were pointed.
Song Tingfeng pretended not to understand, and took him inside, "You are now in the Refining Realm, and your combat power does not need to be measured." Test intelligence first. ”
He summoned the officials in the attic and ordered them to go down.
A moment later, two officials entered, each holding a brocade box.
Song Tingfeng said with a smile: "The brocade box in the hands of the two of them, one is empty inside, and the other has something inside. You can pick one of them to ask, but you can only ask one question. ”
"And one of them speaketh only falsehood, and the other speaketh the truth. ”
Song Tingfeng said "hey": "You have a stick of incense to think, I can't give you any hints." ”
Zhu Guangxiao reminded succinctly: "This question is difficult, you think about it carefully." ”
Song Tingfeng nodded: "Although Duke Wei said that this is just a small game, there are very few people who can guess correctly." Although I realized it afterwards, the time for a stick of incense has passed.
"It is said that only the Lord of the Golden Gong can understand this question within twenty breaths. ”
The clerk lit a stick of incense and placed it beside him.
I don't know how many of these simple logic problems I have devoured in my previous life.
Xu Qi'an turned his head and asked the clerk on the left: "If you were him, what would you tell me?"
The official was a little confused, as if he didn't expect Xu Qi'an to ask such a question, thought for a while, and said in a muffled voice: "There is nothing." ”
Xu Qi'an nodded, stretched out his hand and pressed the brocade box in the hand of the official on the right: "The thing is in this brocade box." ”
Song Tingfeng opened his mouth and looked at his companion with facial paralysis with a stiff face: "How long?"
Zhu Guangxiao's tone was a little depressed: "Not counting the kung fu of the officials, twelve breaths...."
The air was silent for a second, Song Tingfeng arched his hand, and shook his head helplessly: "You can solve the tax and silver case, it's not that a blind cat touches a dead mouse." ”
He knew about Xu Qi'an, Li Yuchun was one of the chief judges of the tax and silver case, and Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao were tired of tracking down non-existent monsters outside.
After the tax and silver case was solved, as a participant in the case, he naturally knew about Xu Qi'an's existence.
