Chapter III
Taizu swept away the universe, cleaned up the mountains and rivers, saved the people from fire and water, and seized heavy treasures from the barbarians, and there was a Ming Dynasty.
The official system of the Ming Dynasty is different from all generations, the Criminal Department, Dali Temple, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate are called the Three Law Divisions, and the Criminal Department of the Heavenly Prison, Dali Temple Prison, and Jinyi Weizhao Prison are called the Three Prisons.
Among them, the Criminal Department has set up a Supervision and Arrest Division, which is called to hunt down and arrest fugitives, but it is actually responsible for the affairs of the rivers and lakes.
People did not want to go to the Ministry of Punishment, but the moon was not partial, and the bright moonlight shone on the vermilion gate, on the old tree with withered branches and leaves, and on the iron sword two inches wide.
Changing into an official uniform, the man with the bow sleeve standing in front of the door with his hands in his hands, looking at the bright moon that was almost perfect in the sky, his thoughts fluttering.
A young man dressed as an errand man walked out quickly, walked up to the man, and bowed.
Yao Qian glanced at him, didn't know him, bowed slightly, and ignored it.
"Lord Yao, the lowly Jiang Shi, from today onwards, will serve under the command of the Lord. Therefore, it is familiar. ”
I have to say that this person speaks simply and directly, even Yao Qian inevitably has the urge to laugh.
"In the future, if you work hard, since it is not worth it, go back and rest. ”
The young man named Jiang Shi nodded yes, but there was no intention of moving under his feet, and he said: "After autumn, the night will be long, and the humble post has prepared thin wine in the Chunfeng Building, if the adults are okay, can you appreciate your face?"
As soon as she heard that it was entertainment, Yao Qian was immediately a little disgusted.
"The official is tired, let's do it another day. ”
"Yes, my lord......"
"Anything else?"
"Yunyang Mansion is coming,"
Yao Qi's heart moved, Yunyang is not an ordinary place, the Wudang faction in the five authentic sects is in Yunyang!
The envelope was intact, and no one dared to open it before him.
Just as Yao Qian was looking at it, Jiang Shi carefully observed the subtle changes in the boss's face.
After reading it, Yao Qian put the letter in her arms with an indifferent expression.
"My lord, I heard that the one-legged thief Zhang Baoyuan appeared in the Yunxi area, but what did the letter say?" Jiang Shi said tentatively.
Yao Qian nodded, said a few perfunctory words and left in a hurry.
Although it has not been confirmed, Jiang Shi already knows that what he said in the letter must not be Zhang Baoyuan's business, and judging by its appearance, it should be a big deal.
Jiang Shi returned to her residence, had some supper, and fell asleep.
Tossing and turning, for about half an hour, I couldn't sleep after all. So he got up again, and wrote under the lamp:
"Quick check of Yunyang Mansion ......"
Before midnight the next morning, Jiang Shi was rewarded, and was shocked at a glance, and hurriedly rushed to the criminal department.
As soon as he turned to the courtyard of the Governor's Division, he heard the sound of talking inside.
"Master Yao, I heard that your nephew has fallen into the grass, why do you still have the heart to sit here and drink tea?"
"My nephew is studying art in Wudang Mountain, how can he fall into the grass, and I don't know who is too idle to make this kind of rumor. ”
"It's also a ha, how can a disciple of a famous and decent family be a thief? Not to mention that the master is not allowed, it can't be said here in the Arrest Division, unless...... Hey. ”
"What do you want to say?"
"If there is an official, there is a private one, and if there is a private one, there are disadvantages, Lord Yao, I don't know how many pairs of eyes are staring at it? To be honest, the official's eyes are red. ”
"This is really ridiculous, the errand of five taels of silver a month is rare. ”
"It's really ridiculous, the officials have no money, but the thieves have money. ”
"I'm afraid it's not necessarily true, it is said that the Qing prefect has 100,000 snowflakes of silver in three years, and Lord Ren has a heart for yellow and white things, so he might as well put a prefect outside, and he will definitely be able to make a full pot. ”
"How can the prefect compare to the head of the Arrest Division. ”
"Ren Yongliang, do you mean that this official is corrupt?"
"We are all outside, everyone knows it, why bother ......"
The sudden crisp sound of "pop" interrupted Ren Yongliang's words.
Jiang Shi was shocked and hurriedly walked to the house.
"Yao Qi, you dare to beat me! Are you angry and ashamed? Not to mention your own corruption, you also connived at your nephew to be a thief to collect money for you...... Ouch. ”
Ren Yongliang ran outside as he spoke, and collided with Jiang Shi who came in front of him with one foot and one foot after another.
Ren Yongliang slammed his ass, and Jiang Shi also shook it twice.
Jiang Shi hurriedly went up to help, Ren Yongliang just glared at him fiercely, and then hurried away, as if he was afraid that Yao Qian would chase him out.
But Yao Qian didn't mean that.
Jiang Shi walked in and saluted and said, "My lord, ...... humble position."
"I didn't pay attention to it yesterday, just look at your skills, it must be after the famous family, surnamed Jiang, listen to the wind for thousands of miles, hide the ancient and modern in your sleeves, Jiang Xiao Jiang Mingda, what do you call it?"
"Engong, that's my father. Jiang Shi said as she lifted her clothes, knelt down and kowtowed her head.
Jiang Xiaojianghu is known as the king of news, and he makes a living by buying and selling news and intelligence, which is easy to offend people, but then something happened, almost 20 years ago, he was chased and killed so that there was no way to enter the earth, and he happened to meet the newly born Yao Qian, and was rescued by Yao Xu. Jiang Xiao is also a person who knows how to repay his kindness, so when his son Shiman returned, he sent him to the Arrest Department to help Yao Qi work.
Yao Qian took Jiang Shi's hand and said, "Child, you have grown up so big, is your father okay?"
"The blessing of the Duke of Toen, everything is fine with my father, but I miss him very much, his old man is guilty, and he is afraid of endangering the Duke and does not dare to come to the gathering, so I send my nephew to come to honor you. ”
"Okay, come with me to the house after the release today, and let's have a good chat. There are many people here, so you still have to be careful not to be known by outsiders. ”
"Nephew understands, uncle, is the letter from Yunyang Mansion last night related to my brother?"
"You listened to your father?"
"Exactly, the nephew feels that it is inconvenient for the uncle to come forward in this matter, if the uncle can trust it, he might as well let the nephew ......"
Yao Qian suddenly looked at the door and motioned for him to be silent, and after a while, he heard footsteps.
I only heard the old man's voice cough, "Don't hesitate, are you there?"
An old man with a tiger's head, big eyes and a high nose, and a long white beard appeared at the door.
Although the old man is too old, his face is ruddy and full of energy. Dressed in court clothes, he has the style of a martial arts family.
When Yao Qian saw the old man, she hurriedly walked up to greet him, gave a disciple salute, and said, "Uncle Shi, why are you here?" ”
This person is the Shangshu Min Qi of the Criminal Department, who was born in the Diancang faction of Dali, Yunnan, and was nicknamed Jiutian Lei Gong, Yao Qian is also a disciple of the Diancang faction, and he is indeed his uncle. A few years ago, when Min Jue was the governor of Liangguang, he broke the prison and Gui and other places in seven big villages, mainly using Yao Qi, the old man especially liked this nephew, no, a few years ago, when he was promoted to the heavenly official of the Criminal Department, he left Yao Qi by his side and entrusted him with important tasks.
Yao Qian also has great respect for this old man who is both an uncle and a boss, the old man is not only his elder, but also has the grace of knowing him, and he cares for him in public and private.
"No, the old man heard some news. ”
"You already know. ”
"And whether the news is true or not, you have to be cautious. At present, the Holy Dragon is not in good health, there are many young people with ill intentions, and your position is very sensitive, so you must not give truth to yourself and destroy your future. ”
"Uncle Shi, although Chuan'er is high-spirited and naughty, the disciple can't believe that he would do such a thing. ”
"It's inevitable to do something wrong when you're young, even if it's true, you can't blame him, who didn't come from a young age, it's too much to be an adult. What are you going to do, do you want the old man to come forward?"
"The disciple doesn't dare to bother you with the old man, the disciple will handle this matter properly, please rest assured. Jiang Shi, I haven't come to see my uncle yet. ”
Jiang Shi stepped forward and made a big salute, "Junior Jiang Shi, I have seen my uncle." ”
Min Jue looked at Jiang Shi, "Who is this little doll?"
"Uncle Shi, this is the son of Jiang Xiao, the king of news, the disciple plans to send him to Yunyang to check on this matter, firstly, he is not an outsider, and secondly, he has just arrived at the Supervisory Division. ”
"Oh, Jiang Xiao's child, I know the old Jiang head, although Jiang Xiao's child does not follow the right path, he can be regarded as a rising star, and the people of the Jiang family are indeed a little excited. Jiang Shi, this matter is very important, you know it. ”
"The juniors know. ”
"Then what to do, you must also know, if it is done, it can be regarded as your repayment, if it is not done properly, Yao Qian is fine, and your Jiang family will be in a big disaster. ”
"The disciple will never dare to live up to the teachings of his uncle and the trust of his uncle!"
"It's good to do it yourself. ”
waited until the old man got up to leave, Jiang Shi stood up, already sweating.
The double pressure brought by the boss and the martial arts seniors is difficult for young people to bear.
Yao Qian patted him on the shoulder, "Child, you have to leave as soon as possible, if you are late, I am afraid that others will make a fuss about it." ”
"Yes, my nephew will go. It's just that...... I mean, in case, if the first brother is really on the mountain, how can my nephew say that the world brother will believe it?"
Yao Qian hesitated slightly, untied the jade pendant on his waist, and said, "This piece of Panlong Cangjiao jade pendant is unique, he should recognize it." If he is really on the mountain, you can reprimand me well, and don't show mercy. ”
Jiang Shi took the jade pendant with both hands, carefully wrapped it with a handkerchief, and put it in his arms, "Uncle don't worry, my nephew will definitely persuade my brother to go back." ”
