The election of officials in the Dayan Imperial Court is as follows:

On the occasion of the big examination, the official office organizes the registration examination. Many aspiring officials choose a certain government or a local government that they want to enter, and take the exam when the time comes.

There are literary examinations and martial arts examinations. The so-called essay examination refers to writing an essay according to the function of the corresponding examination for which the monk has registered, which is probably to tell how he will carry out his work and what he will do after he joins the company. And the so-called martial arts test is naturally to look at cultivation and actual combat.

For some official positions, the proportion of the literary examination is a little more significant, such as some government officials, who calculate taxes as a whole. For example, for those who are responsible for the law and arrest work like the Tingwei Mansion, the proportion of the literary examination is very small, and the military examination is larger.

Vacancies will be allocated according to the results of the examinations.

And an aspiring person like Lu Wenen may be dissatisfied with the vacant position arranged by the official office, and if he wants to have higher requirements, he will put forward a request for a certain official position after passing the exam.

The official office will approve this and decide whether to agree or not. And once agreed, the person who is now sitting in that position will be arranged to compete with the challenger, which is also divided into a literary test and a martial test.

That's the whole process.

Of course, the first few items of the whole process are probably carried out every time the official is selected. The so-called 'challenge' link is not. Nominally, there is such a means to directly become a high-ranking official, and even theoretically, through this way, you can directly become a prime minister.

But in practice...... Unless an exchange of interests has already been reached in some political deals, or it has been formulated by some bigwigs above, nine out of ten when the official office receives such an application for a challenge, and will not even give it the opportunity to challenge.

And the reason why Lu Wenen was able to pass the challenge application of the cultural and martial arts test, defeated the previous court captain Zuo Supervisor, and took the other party's position, must have been cared for by some people.

Don't mention this part of the care, the challenge to victory is always obvious.

After becoming the left eunuch of the court lieutenant, the current court lieutenant Guan Leping met with Lu Wenen, with a polite and distant attitude.

The Guan family, represented by Guan Leping, is also one of the four major families in Yandu and is a supporter of the imperial grandson Li Xuanhao. However, compared with the other Zhang and Zhao families, the Guan family's support for the imperial grandson is not high, and in a sense, it is more neutral.

Otherwise, if Guan Leping, as a court lieutenant, really hardened himself too often, even if Lu Wenen didn't let him in even if he finished the challenge process, then the matter would really be very difficult to handle.

That didn't happen.

After all, if you want to do that, it will be tantamount to offending the Lu family, and pushing the Lu family to the prince's side with all his might.

Earlier, the Lu family did not directly accept the official position given by the crown prince Li Chengzong, which had already made Li Xuanhao and his faction feel that it was possible for the Lu family to fight for it, so of course they would not do anything to push the Lu family to the opposite side at this time.

And after Lu Wenen became the left prisoner of Tingwei, he began to do things very seriously.

It stands to reason that when he reaches this position, he doesn't need to do these things to investigate cases and arrest people. Even, although the director of the Arrest Bureau is not subordinate to him, but is directly responsible to Ting Wei himself, his nominal official position is not as high as his.

But Lu Wenen doesn't care so much.

After he took office, he directly arranged many monks who came with him from Feiyun Prefecture into the Tingwei Mansion. This power is still there, after all, these Qingfengmen monks, as well as a few Lu family monks, although they generally only have the level of qi training and foundation building, but they are not high-ranking officials in the exam, it is easy to pass the exam, and there is no problem in making up for the arrest bureau as a quick arrester.

Then, he took these people, plus a few small locals who had no foundation in the arrest bureau, and began to 'fool around'.

In the eyes of many people in the Tingwei Mansion, the newly appointed Tingwei Zuo Jian is just fooling around.

Where is there a court lieutenant and a left prisoner, who doesn't care about other serious things, and takes a group of people to investigate cases and arrest people every day, what kind of thing is this?

However, most people in the Tingwei Mansion are still happy to see this.

Originally, many people were quite scared, and the arrival of a new Tingwei Zuo Jian would upset the original balance of power in the Tingwei Mansion. Although Lu Wenen does not have any foundation, after all, the position is here, and some people will indeed be worried.

As a result, this person did not fight for power or profit, so he devoted himself to investigating the case, and many people were overjoyed. Usually if you can make it convenient for you, do it, as long as you, the left prisoner, are happy and don't come to manage the power of the government, then everything is easy to say.

But who would have thought that this left prisoner would make such a big fuss today?

When Lu Wenen led the team back to the Arrest Bureau, and put the unconscious Zhao Siwei and the many dejected Zhao Siwei's doglegs who came over by himself into the cell, the entire Arrest Bureau was in chaos.

Just now when he came out of the prison of the Arrest Bureau, Lu Wenen looked at a person in a black python robe, stepping on an iron rope, and flew over in a panic.

"The King's Office. Venn said hello.

The name of the person who came was Wang Sheng, the director of the arrest department, and a monk on the second floor of Qiming.

Wang Sheng had a bitter look on his face: "My ancestor...... Lord Zuo, why did you arrest Zhao Siwei?"

"He violated the law of the country, why can't he be caught?"

"What did he do?"

"Does the kidnapping and coercion of low-level nuns count?"

"Didn't they all say that he played voluntarily?"

"When I found out, this was not the case. We already have a lot of evidence that he coerced and threatened many nuns. ”

"Alas......" Wang Sheng said in a low voice, "With Zhao Siwei's identity, what kind of sin is it to play a few female cultivators...... Lord Zuo, just listen to me and let the people go...... If you have any shortcomings, take this opportunity to ask them for a little bit from the Zhao family, it doesn't matter much, but don't really make any trouble. ”

"Director Wang, this is a bad remark, it violates the law of the country, and he will be punished, what does this have to do with his identity? And don't say more, Director Wang just do his own thing, if there will be any other trouble here, Lu Mou will take it. ”

Helpless, Director Wang Shengwang had no choice but to leave.

Lu Wenen looked at his back, stared at him for a moment, and then turned back to the prison.

From Wang Sheng's hurried words, he also felt that his arrest of Zhao Siwei was just the beginning, and when he did it, there would be very big trouble, and in the foreseeable days that followed, one after another.

He didn't know if he could withstand it, and he didn't know if the so-called prince would help him carry it. Even, his immediate boss, Tingwei Guan Leping, is still ally with the Zhao family, in case this Tingwei speaks in person, it will be very difficult for him to stand up to him and not let go.

It seems that in the case of not knowing how long Zhao Siwei can be detained, he has to hurry up as much as possible.

......

"Senior Brother Lu, why are you back again?Zhao Siwei won't wake up until at least tomorrow...... "The person guarding the prison is a Qingfengmen monk.

"I can't wait for tomorrow. Lu Wenen said, "I'm going to wake him up in advance." ”

"Senior brother has a way?" the man was a little surprised.

He himself is also a wood-attribute monk, proficient in medicine, and good at warming the meridians and body. It is precisely because of this that he will be assigned to take care of Zhao Siwei.

In his opinion, Zhao Siwei's life essence was absorbed too much before. He didn't know how Lu Wenen did it, he vaguely felt that the exercises that Lu Wenen performed were very special and different.

At least, in Feiyun Prefecture, there is no second person who can perform this kind of Mu Xing Gong.

This lack of the origin of life is the main reason why Zhao Siwei is unconscious at the moment, and it is also the reason why it cannot be solved. At least, he, a foundation building monk with a wood attribute, couldn't handle this matter. Even if he enlightened, he felt that he couldn't fix it. This can only wait for Zhao Siwei to recover and wake up, and then it is estimated that the foundation of cultivation will be greatly damaged in the future.

However, he can't help it, Lu Wenen has a way.

Just send the vital essence you have absorbed and send it back. Having learned the Cultivation Certificate, he is a very good healer in his own right.

This process of sucking it out and sending it back will cause secondary damage to Zhao Siwei, not to mention, this kind of life essence that is re-injected into it is actually no longer Zhao Siwei's own, and this process of pouring it back will make his damage even more serious.

Wen En didn't do this before, the most important thing was that he was a little unbearable, afraid that in this way, Zhao Siwei would be able to wake up early under the stimulation of the life essence, but he would not be able to live for too long.

But now it seems that there is no need to worry about that.

Standing beside Zhao Siwei, who was lying on the ground, Lu Wenen's wood attribute spiritual power was gradually transformed into life essence and entered into Zhao Siwei's body. The leisurely turquoise light enveloped Zhao Siwei's body.

Soon, Zhao Siwei, who was in a coma and skinny, puffed up like a balloon inflated in a very short period of time, and even looked fatter than before, as if he was swollen. At the same time, his face also changed from the sickly pale before to flushed.

But obviously, this state of affairs is not normal. However, Zhao Siwei himself woke up leisurely.

"Lu Wenen......" His voice was a little strange, with some snorts. Hearing this, Zhao Siwei himself was taken aback.

Subsequently, he also felt that his body was unusually vigorous in his life, as if there was a breath of fire, held in his heart, and there was nowhere to vent.

"You're dying. Lu Wenen's emotionless voice came into Zhao Siwei's ears.

"What have you done to me?!" Zhao Siwei looked horrified.

Although he didn't know what was going on inside him, it was clearly unusual.

He sat up from the ground, his back against the corner, shivering.

"I can keep you alive, but what I ask, you answer. ”

"Don't you think about it!"

Lu Wenen didn't talk much nonsense, he raised his hand and continued to transform the wood spiritual power into a different kind of life essence, and input it into Zhao Siwei's body, and asked emotionally: "Four years ago, the Lu family was attacked by the Faceless Society led by Fan Yu, was it instructed by your Zhao family?"

"No!" Zhao Siwei decisively denied.

"Let's be honest. Lu Wenen continued to increase the input of life essence.

During the years that he was the court captain and the left prisoner, Lu Wenen seemed to have been arresting people and investigating cases in various ways, but in essence, his most important goal was still not forgotten - to investigate the attack of the year.

In Yan Kingdom, there is a force that can mobilize such a powerful team of dead soldiers, and also has malicious intentions towards the Lu family, and directly took the attack action, which is quite chilling in itself.

The point is that the other party is still completely hidden under the water.

This matter, of course, must be investigated first, Lu Wenen came to Yandu, entered the court, and served in the Tingwei Mansion, essentially to find out this matter.

Not to mention, after entering the Tingwei Mansion, the entire country and the cases of all parties were summarized, and Lu Wenen was really eye-opening about the gloom under the bright face of Yan Guo.

Feiyun Prefecture is still too pure, with Feiyun Prefecture on top, the major families below firmly control the place, and the combination of the two will only have some scattered bandits at most, and it is difficult to breed too much darkness - if you don't count those small and medium-sized families themselves.

Come to think of it, within the direct jurisdiction of the Cloud Sky Sect, it is probably a similar situation. The Yunxiao Sect is much stronger than the Qingfeng Sect, and they should have stronger control over the directly governed area.

But where the influence of the imperial court is greater, it is a different matter.

In the midst of these dark sides, Lu Wenen grabbed the tail of an organization called the 'Faceless Society'.

It is said that this is a very secretive organization, even in the underground world of the monks, it is very low-key. Very few people know about them, but everyone who has heard of them is very secretive about them, for fear that if they say a few more words, they will be killed.

Then, Lu Wenen wasted two years of hard work and caught a member who was said to be a member of the Faceless Society.

From that person's mouth, he learned that the organizational structure of the Faceless Society was very secretive, and he only knew how to contact his upper and lower lines, but he didn't know their true identities. However, he once met Zhao Siwei in a hurry.

Before Lu Wenen could ask for more information, the man's face suddenly became frightened, and without spitting out half a word, the whole person began to burn from the inside out, so that Lu Wenen didn't have time to save him, and he was directly burned to ashes.

This method is exactly the same as what happened after the battle when the Lu family's caravan was attacked.

Come to think of it, it was this person who suddenly disappeared, was discovered by his upline, and then decisively launched a ban in this human body and extinguished his mouth.

Although he didn't ask anything more, Lu Wenen at least knew this clue about Zhao Siwei.

This is also the biggest reason why he directly sold today and arrested Zhao Siwei.

As for the so-called crime of 'coercing female cultivators', although Zhao Siwei did do it, he obviously preferred it as an excuse.

The matter of the faceless meeting is true.
