Chapter Twenty-Three: Hejing Tea

While talking, the three of them came to the main hall.

There are three grand halls in the criminal department, except for the main hall, there are two side halls on each side.

Walk up to the door, and there's a guard.

The guard stretched out his hand to stop and asked, "Who are you?"

"Mei Qinghan! ”

"Credentials?"

Liu Xu took out a red jade waist card.

He has been on an errand in the Criminal Department all the year round, and the guards knew it at a glance, so he immediately respected it and said with a smile: "Master Mei, wait a minute, I'll report it later." ”

After a while, the guard ran back and bowed down to make a plea, "Mei-sama, please!"

Liu Xu started and Shi Ran stepped in, and Ye Yu and the three followed.

The main hall is quite large, and the houses are connected one after another, forming a large compound.

Following the introduction, passing through the hall, Liu Xu and the four of them went to the depths.

Passing by several courtyards, I came to a wonderful place.

Compared to the deserted front yard, this place is quite vibrant.

There is a jade pond in the center of the compound, and fish can be seen in the pool. On the side of the pond are all kinds of flower beds, although it is not a beautiful spring, but all kinds of flowers and plants have been flourishing.

The four of Liu Xu were introduced into a wooden pavilion, called Shuiyuan Pavilion.

It is quite spacious, with all kinds of items exquisite and neatly displayed.

After entering the cabinet, Liu Xu saw a middle-aged man.

The man has an ordinary appearance, forty appearances, and has the bearing of a superior person.

At this moment, sitting on a fragrant dragon wood short chair, he is making tea.

After all, it's the boss, Liu Xu clenched his fists, "Lord Jing!"

"Oh, sit down. The middle-aged man said.

Liu Xu was not pretentious, he came in two steps, sat down lightly, and Ye Yu and the three of them stood behind.

The middle-aged man didn't look at Liu Xu, his mind was on the tea. After completing a set of actions, he poured a cup for Liu Xu.

The two looked at each other.

"This is the subordinate appointment instrument, please take a look. Liu Xu put the paperwork on the table and pushed it over.

The man opposite picked up the teacup, took a sip, and said calmly, "It's not necessary." ”

Liu Xu's gaze suddenly changed.

"In my mansion, no one dares to pretend to be the envoy of the Criminal Department!"

Liu Xu didn't speak, picked up the tea and took a sip, which was considered etiquette.

But seeing Liu Xu drinking tea, the middle-aged man spoke, "There is a sentence in this cup of tea, I don't know if Brother Mei has heard it?"

"Oh?" Liu Xu smiled, curious.

"This tea is called Hejing tea. There are two kinds of water in boiling tea, one flavor of tea in the upper layer and one flavor in the tea water in the lower layer. The man said.

Liu Xu shook the teacup, and saw that the tea was layered, the upper layer was green, and the lower layer was lighter.

"I don't know if there is any explanation in this?" asked Liu Xu.

Naturally, there is. Although two waters are poured into one glass, the well water does not interfere with the river water. In doing things, if you don't embarrass me, I won't embarrass you. The man picked.

"Oh, I don't know what the word "embarrassment" said, Liu Xu said calmly.

"The subordinate order department has the rules of the subordinate order department, and if you follow the rules, you will not be embarrassed!"

"I'm sorry for the tightness! I don't know the rules of the Subordinate Division, but I only have the rules of the national law in my heart. "Liu Xu is not humble.

"Really, it seems that Brother Mei is deliberately unable to get along with me?" the man looked.

"Don't dare! Now that the documents have been read, the subordinates will take their leave!" Liu Xu got up, and the four of them walked out of the pavilion coldly.

But I can vaguely hear the voice in the cabinet, "Toast and don't eat and drink!"

The corners of Liu Xu's mouth were hooked, and he smiled.

All the way out of the main hall gate, the four of them walked to the right first.

On the right side is a side hall, which is relatively smaller.

There was a gatekeeper in front of the hall, Guan Han took out the waist card, and the two officials knew that the new official had arrived.

Immediately, someone led the way respectfully in front of them and introduced them one by one.

Therefore, it was not long before he came to the main hall.

There was a weak man in the main hall, and he thought it was the secretary of the order.

The secretary is a civil official, Liu Xu's close person. Specialized in conveying instructions, searching for national laws and recording all levels of copywriting.

"Envoy Mo, this is Lord Mei who has gone to work. The official in front of him was quite eye-catching, took a step forward, and said.

"Subordinate Moyu, participate in Lord Mei. The weak man saluted.

"You're the scribe?" asked Liu Xu.

"It's a lowly position!"

"The files of the personnel of the Criminal Department, the criminal law, the criminal position, and the appearance of the Criminal Department are all retrieved. Liu Xu commanded.

"Yes, my lord!" Mo Yu got up and headed to the backyard treasury.

Before Liu Xu's gaze was delivered, Ye Yu had already set off to help.

However, in the time of half a burnt incense, stacks of literary books were all hugged.

"My lord, it's all here. Mo Yu said.

Liu Xu picked up the personnel file first and took a cursory look.

After a while, I couldn't help frowning slightly, so I casually asked, "There are more than 100 soldiers in the government?!Why haven't I seen a few?"

Mo Yu's face changed slightly, and he corrected, "Most of them have gone to patrol the streets. ”

Seeing Moyu's expression, Liu Xu knew that something was wrong.

"Mo Ling, this is not right! Xing Zhi has made it clear that there are ten teams patrolling the streets, each team has five people, even if you add the guards of each hall in front of you and those who do miscellaneous things, there are only 80 people in total. Guan Han said.

Mo Yu's eyes dodged, and he knew that Liu Xu was extraordinary, so he prevaricated: "My subordinates don't know either." ”

"Well, since this is the case, you give me an order to recruit all the people who are on the books of the head catchers, government officials, and government soldiers. Let's just say that I am new to my post and want to get to know everyone. ”

"Yes! Moyu turned and walked away.

"Ye Yu, you go and help me buy a mansion around here. It's okay to be basic, but it's best to stay in a few days. Liu Xu said.

"Yes!"

"Uh, wait! It's a silver ticket, and you take it. ”

"Boss, have you forgotten what our Ye family does?" Ye Yu asked rhetorically.

At the same time, he turned around and left, as for the silver ticket in Liu Xu's hand, he had never seen it.

Liu Xu looked at the back of the former leaving, very unclear, so he muttered, "I know, buy tea!"

So he continued to rip through the personnel files in his hand, and only after a while did he react, and asked with an interesting expression: "The white tea seller is very rich?"

"Hmm!" Guan Han and Qiu Feng nodded at the same time in the distance.

After about an hour, Moyu reported in.

"Your Excellency, the personnel of the Criminal Department have been recalled and are waiting for you in the courtyard. ”

"Oh, the Ink Order has worked hard. Let's go, let's take a look. Liu Xu smiled slightly, quite gently, and got up and walked out of the main hall.

"It's what a lowly job should do. ”

Qiu Feng and Guan Han naturally got up and followed.

The sun outside the court was warm, and Liu Xu smiled.

After a while, I saw that the courtyard was sparsely populated with no more than a few dozen people, and the smile on my face was still undiminished.

Everyone saw Moyu following Liu Xu's side, and they knew that the person in front of them was Langzhong of the Criminal Department.

It's just that I didn't expect it to be so young.

So I can't help but be a little curious.

Liu Xu clenched his fists and said to himself: "In Xia Mei Qinghan, out of recklessness, people send Mo Feng Sword." Given by the Emperor Ming, he first entered the imperial court as an envoy to the forbidden army, and now he has entered the Criminal Department, taking charge of the country's laws and being your envoy. In the future, we will work together and hope to be in harmony with each other. ”

As soon as these words came out, they were quite low-key and gentle, without any arrogance.

The government soldiers and even the government officials breathed a sigh of relief.

It must be easy for such a person to work under him.

Then the next moment, the tone changed, and the real face was revealed.

"However, if some people do not respect the laws of the country and do not follow the rules, then naturally there is no need to blame me for the dragon-slaying sword in my hand. As he spoke, Liu Xu pulled out Mo Feng.

Everyone was shocked, this scene changed too quickly.

The last moment it was low-key and gentle, how can the next moment it be sharp?

Boom!

Mo Feng came out of the sheath, and immediately let out a sword groan, crisp into the ears.

Liu Xu walked over with a sword.

His sword was pointed at the person in front of him, and in an instant, there was a cold pressure.

"You, take a step forward. Liu Xu shouted.

A young soldier is unknown, but he has a bad premonition. He took a step forward with his leg raised.

"You're not following the rules!" Liu Xu said.

came up with such a sentence for no reason, and the soldiers were stunned and very puzzled.

"The secretary ordered, but the government soldiers have uniformly issued military uniforms?" Liu Xu asked abruptly.

There was sweat on Moyu's forehead, and he came over immediately.

"Returning to the envoy, yes!" Mo Yu said.

"Go and get the official policy, cross out this person's criminal register, and never be hired. Liu Xu's voice became cold.

"Uh, yes, my lord!" Mo Yu was startled, but then relieved and turned away.

"Your Excellency!" the soldiers immediately panicked.

However, Liu Xu ignored it at all.

"My lord! The life of a villain is not easy, I hope that the adult will spare the little one. The little ones will be dressed in order tomorrow. The young soldier suddenly knelt on the ground and said.

The corners of Ran Liuxu's mouth were hooked, and he said calmly: "It's late! I don't know it's easy, but I don't do my job, you think I will sympathize with you." Come on, drive them out of the torture house!"

As soon as the words came out, the two officials came over immediately, set up people and left.

After a while, Moyu came over, hugged the official policy, and saw that the person was no longer in the court.

The next moment, Liu Xu raised his sword and walked towards the five catchers, Huo Ran said, "Out of the ranks!"

The five of them were startled, and they didn't dare to hesitate and immediately stepped forward.

"You also disdain to work in the Criminal Department?" Liu Xu asked.

"Don't dare!" the five people were stunned, very confused, and hugged their fists.

"Don't dare!?hmph! If the five of you are my soldiers in the imperial court, I don't even bother to tell you your name. With this appearance, how can you command the government soldiers? How can you convince them, and how can you dare to patrol around this imperial city?" Liu Xu scolded.

The five bowed their heads and did not refute.

"Guan Han!"

"In!"

"After the explanation is completed, I will hand over these five people to you. If you can't train the majesty of the commander of the Shenwu Sect, you don't have to stay in the Criminal Department anymore!"

"Yes!"

"Return!" Liu Xu turned around and shouted.

The five of them clenched their fists and returned to their original positions.

At this time, Liu Xu looked at Moyu.

Mo Yu was taken aback, not knowing the meaning of this glance.

"Nine catchers, how come there are only five people?" asked Liu Xu Pinghe.

"Two of them went on a mission in the West Side and have not returned. ”

"I've seen the deacon's table, the mission was two days ago, and I should have returned a long time ago. Liu Xu shouted categorically.

"The master of the priest forgives his sins, but the villain does not know. Mo Yu suddenly knelt on the ground.

"Well, in that case, you can cross these four out of the official policy. People who eat for nothing and live for nothing, I don't raise Mei Qinghan!"

"Uh!?yes, my lord!" Mo Yu exclaimed.

At this time, Liu Xu held Mo Feng and pointed to the two of them, "You two come here." ”

Two people in soft armor came out of the line and walked towards Liu Xu.

"Participate in the envoy!" the two hugged their fists.

"You two are dissatisfied with my disposition?" Liu Xu sounded like a question, but it was in an affirmative tone.

The two looked at each other and did not speak.

"It seems that this criminal department has a lot of oil and water, and they all support such uncourageous people. Liu Xu said.

The two glanced at Liu Xu and said without humility: "You are the first time to go to the envoy, but you are a bit overbearing to do this?"

"Domineering? If I am not domineering, will this criminal department still have the appearance of the criminal department? I came out of the imperial court to be an official of all the people, not a powerful servant! So this is just the beginning, if you are dissatisfied, you can get out! But if you are in my criminal department for a day, you have to do things according to the rules for a day. ”

Liu Xu is very strong, and his words will be intimidating.

The eyes of the two were a little complicated, each one said so, they had been touched, but each one died.

This is the fourth, and it was passed on by the Ming Dynasty as a dragon slaying boy.
