Detective in the Red Chamber

Sun Shaozong smiled, knocked on the table with his chopsticks, and imitated his tone and said: "Wu Naba, I am eating now. If you are a good man, sit down first and fight after I finish eating!"

These words were so effective, Sun Chengyi hurriedly asked the nurse for a small stool, and stared at his father to eat with a knife.

Unavoidably ruining his stomach, Sun Shaozong deliberately slowed down, and he ate for a full quarter of an hour before putting down the bowls and chopsticks in satisfaction.

Then without further ado, he stepped forward and grabbed his son, and a one-armed slow-motion version of Daimon Goro cut the tree back, threw the little guy on the Arhat bed, laughed and walked away.

He heard his son complaining from behind: "Mother, mother! Daddy attacked me!"

Also know sneak attack!

Sun Shaozong became more and more overjoyed, and halfway through he felt that he couldn't favor one person over another, so he went to his daughter's room and woke her up with a beard.

…………

But he said that there was a delay here and there, and when he arrived at the stables in the front yard, it was already too late.

Although Sun Shaozong came late and left early, not once or twice, but today's situation is a bit special.

Therefore, he got into the carriage neatly, and was waiting to urge Zhang Cheng to hurry to the Yamen.

"My lord, my lord!"

At this time, a greasy-haired and pink-faced master suddenly jumped out of the doorway. At first, Sun Shaozong didn't recognize him, but after a closer look, he found that it was the beggar Baochang Hong Jiu.

No, now he is the former beggar security chief.

From today onwards, his new official title is: Hong Jin, the deacon of the Secretary Affairs Office of Dali Temple.

This sounds very bluffing, but in fact it doesn't even count as being in the top class - after all, the official position of the Department of General Affairs is only from the ninth rank.

To put it bluntly, he is just a petty official. Compared with Huang Bin's arresting head, he is just nicer, but his real power may not be as good as it is.

But Hong Jiu was overjoyed by such an errand.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have dressed up like a peacock before dawn, and ran to the doorway of Sun's house to wait.

Seeing him approaching, smiling all over his face, he was about to flatter, Sun Shaozong waved his hands impatiently: "Okay, stop talking here, have you ridden a horse? If you haven't ridden, I will lend you one first, and follow along honestly." later."

In fact, Hong Jiu came here by building a carriage, but Sun Shaozong said so, how could he dare to reveal the truth, he hurriedly borrowed a horse from the stable, endured the cold all the way, but followed Zhang Chengche with undiminished energy.

Saying that today is a special day doesn't mean that this guy Hong Jiu is working on an errand for the first time.

According to Sun Shaozong's current status, not to mention that Hong Jiu is just a low-level official, even if he is sent by the seventh or eighth rank, it is not worth him to go to war.

There are really two reasons why Sun Shaozong didn't want to be late. One is that Dali Temple has unified their thinking yesterday, and it is time for him to formally write to the court today.

Secondly, in addition to Hong Jiu's appointment, Sun Shaozong's new master, Qin Kejian, will also take up his post.

This guy is no different from Cheng Rixing back then, he is a very talented and arrogant person, since he is determined to use him, he must be given enough respect - even if this guy's recent behavior of fighting the autumn wind is actually not worthy of respect.

Speaking of Cheng Rixing, Sun Shaozong really regretted it.

Originally, I wanted to persuade him to go to Dali Temple and serve as an eighth-rank Beijing official, so as to renew the fate of master and servant.

But Cheng Rixing thought about it again and again, and he was still fascinated by the door and wanted to be a Bailihou.

After all, this is something that should have been done a long time ago. Since he insisted, Sun Shaozong couldn't persuade him anymore, so he had to entrust his relationship with him to take up a vacancy in the Ministry of Officials. After about two years at the latest, he will be able to take office.

Of course, after all, he is a juren, no matter how much face Sun Shaozong has, those upper counties and big counties will not be able to turn to him.

Speechless all the way.

Hurrying to Dali Temple, Sun Shaozong got off the carriage, and saw that Hong Jiudong's face was numb, and his nose was dripping down without realizing it, so he still had the high-spirited appearance before?

However, in Sun Shaozong's view, this seemed quite pleasing to the eye.

So he ordered Zhang Cheng to take him to the Siwu Office to report, and after signing in, he rushed to Hou Ya Hua Hall to discuss the matter.

Chapter 868 Qin Kejian Joins Dali Temple

[Fourth update, the total is nearly eleven thousand, if you round it up, it will be twelve thousand. 】

Zuosi government office.

When Sun Shaozong arrived, there were already two people waiting inside.

One of them is of course Qin Kejian, and the other is Sun Shaozong's half-slave——Zhao Nan [Babarley] who was born in the Wuxi barbarian tribe.

Zhao Nan was originally appointed by Sun Shaozong to assist Liu Xianglian in her daily work. Who would have thought that Liu Xianglian was stimulated after half a month of working, and wanted to take the imperial examination.

Sun Shaozong let Liu Xianglian go helplessly, but Zhao Nan did not follow her, but continued to stay in Dali Temple as a scribe.

He is good at drilling camps, and under the banner of Sun Shaozong's cronies, in the past half a month, he has touched Zuosi all over the place.

Therefore, in Sun Shaozong's view, he is the most suitable person to help Qin Kejian get into work as soon as possible.

Speaking of...

Today Qin Kejian also dressed up simply, no longer the decadence of the previous days, but exuding a coldness that should not be entered by strangers.

Even in front of Sun Shaozong, this guy still didn't have a good face, he was stiff, as if he was owed wages by Sun Shaozong.

Conscience of heaven and earth, the tea that this guy recently took from Sun Jiashun is enough for an ordinary master's salary for three months.

But this year, like Qin Kejian, a teacher with excellent professional quality and proficient in copywriting is not so easy to find.

Especially now that Sun Shaozong's status is high, he can't do everything by himself. Finding such a competent subordinate can be regarded as a solution to his urgent needs.

In view of this, Sun Shaozong reluctantly tolerated some things that didn't go his way.

But he said that after the guests and hosts were seated in the hall, Sun Shaozong first introduced Zhao Nan to Qin Kejian. Qin Kejian heard that he was a clerk who helped him familiarize himself with the errands, so he had no objection.

However, when communicating and arranging daily work, Qin Kejian fought hard with reason.

Originally, according to Sun Shaozong's intention, he would also look for a copywriter master in the near future, and then Qin Kejian only needed a full-time criminal name.

And because Sun Shaozong is now a fourth-rank senior official after all, and even in an idle yamen like Dali Temple, although it is inevitable to investigate the case himself, it will definitely not be as frequent as it was in Shuntian Mansion.

So in many cases, Qin Kejian was needed to assist other officials of the Zuo Temple to handle cases.

After all, Qin Kejian is only free now, and the identity of the master is not enough for him to handle the case independently-in fact, if it is in the local area, who is not white, who dares to have an opinion when the master takes the lead in investigating the case?

It's a pity that this is in the capital city, at the foot of the emperor, so the rules are naturally stricter than other places.

But Qin Kejian raised objections to this arrangement.

And the way he raised objections made Sun Shaozong a little helpless.

"Yang Zhiming, Zheng Wupin Zuosi Chancellor, was transferred from Zheng Wupin Guanglu Temple Shaoqing two years ago. He is good at counting, but he only has a half-knowledge of criminal names. He has followed the scriptures for two years and has done nothing."

"Tang Weishan, the sixth-rank Zuo Sizheng, the former confidant of Zuo Shaoqing Liu Fang, is used to flattering and sycophanting, and he is a good player as a turtle. As for the name of the punishment—hmph!"

"Chen Jingde, from the sixth-rank Zuosi deputy, has the lowest official rank among the three, but the most senior qualifications, but this does not mean that he has rich experience, but it proves that his vision, ability, and even luck are the worst - the only advantage , that is, he has already been convinced by Dong Weng, and he is considered a good obedient dog."

After commenting on the three main officials of the Zuo Temple one by one, Qin Kejian said, "If I am willing to give in to these wine bags and rice bags, how can I be reduced to where I am today?"

When this guy was in Beizhen Fusi, he didn't seem to be so rebellious, did he?

How could this temper grow after being demoted to southern Xinjiang as a coolie for three years?

Could it be that he was over there, but was actually offered as an uncle?

Sun Shaozong cursed in his heart, seeing Qin Kejian's uncompromising appearance, he had no choice but to take a step back and said, "Then let you actually lead the head office? But right now, Yang Zhiming and Tang Weishan may not be able to agree, so in the near future, you will first bring Chen Jingde investigates the case - I will tell him well then, and let him take everything as the main priority."

Qin Kejian hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement.

Only then did Sun Shaozong order Zhao Nan to invite some decent officials from the Zuo Temple to come and get to know Qin Kejian, so as not to cause any conflicts with Qin Kejian.

As for those officials who have no official position but hold a top position, because of the difference between officials, it is not easy to ask them to meet in the house one by one, so they can only be recommended by Zhao Nan in private later.

During this period, Qin Kejian has always had a gloomy look on his face. It is estimated that most people will not have a good impression of him.

In addition, Sun Shaozong did not conceal that he was a prisoner from Beizhen Fusi, and there were even more people who kept him at a respectful distance.

But Qin Kejian seemed to be so happy too. The more people alienated him, the more he put on a disdainful face, and he refused to say a word.

Only when facing Chen Jingde, knowing that the two of them would have to deal with each other recently, they made an exception and exchanged a few pleasantries.

All in all, it was a completely unsuccessful referral session.

Fortunately, as a famous criminal master, Qin Kejian only needs to be responsible to Sun Shaozong, his employer, and it is not necessary to have a good relationship with his employer's colleagues.

Besides, Sun Shaozong had already made up his mind that the other master who asked the case should find a well-rounded person, and then there would be no need for Qin Kejian to greet him and send him off.

Of course, it's not easy to find this master copywriter right now, maybe we can only wait until the end of the Spring Festival next year, and then choose a candidate who is named Luosun Shan and has quite a lot of experience in this field.

…………

The book does not go into details.

After introducing the officials to Qin Kejian, Sun Shaozong asked Zhao Nan to take Qin Kejian to familiarize himself with the business of Dali Temple.

And he himself rushed to Houya Flower Hall—although he had already got the news, the Dali Temple had a unified opinion and decided to fully support his proposal.

But after all, there is no "official announcement" on this matter, let alone details.

The specific method of operation, of course, has to be carefully considered with Wei Yi and Li Wenshan.

Probably because he lost his fighting spirit, Wei Yi looked calmer this time - on the contrary, Li Wenshan looked overexcited as if he had been beaten to death.

And without waiting for Sun Shaozong and Wei Yi to speak, he first laid out the plan made overnight.

In fact, there is nothing new, but after Sun Shaozong made a proposal first, the officials below echoed and greeted him, so as to test the attitude of the court.

If the result of the trial is acceptable, Li Wenshan will concoct another piece of writing, which will echo Sun Shaozong's proposal from a professional point of view.

In the end, Wei Yi, the serious official, urged the cabinet and the imperial court to implement this kind of good governance that benefits the country and the people as soon as possible in the name of the entire Dali Temple.

This is also a routine summed up by various yamen for many years. Although there is nothing surprising, it is better to be careful at every step. Once force majeure is encountered in the early stage, it is also convenient to lose the car to protect the handsome.

Therefore, the three of them walked through the formalities and decided on this routine.

Then the two reviewed Sun Shaozong's proposal again, and after confirming that there were no omissions or taboos, they used tea instead of wine as Sun Shaozong's auspicious act—he had to submit the memorial to the Imperial City Division by himself before noon.

In fact, for the matter of delivering the memorial, it is enough to send a small official in the yamen to run errands.

But generally, the more important the matter, the more officials are unwilling to do it to others. Since everyone else does this, Sun Shaozong can only follow the market as he goes.

But because it was a business trip, Sun Shaozong didn't use his own carriage, but took a sedan chair carried by four people, surrounded by several government servants, and rushed to Xihuamen.

In fact, Sun Shaozong didn't like to use this kind of support. Firstly, he thought it was too slow, and secondly, he thought he was aggrieved, but the feeling of domineering and domineering was actually quite fulfilling.

But at the gate of the palace, these reliances are naturally not easy to use.

Stopping far away on the side of the street, Sun Shaozong got off the sedan chair and was about to go to the registration office, seal the memorial with wax paint, and then deliver it to a special dark box.

Unexpectedly, someone caught up with him from behind, and shouted from a distance: "Brother, brother Sun!"

There are not many people who call Sun Shaozong like this, but this person behind him is the first one to call him that.

"Brother Yucun?"

Sun Shaozong turned his head and pretended to be surprised: "What are you doing at Donghua Gate at this time?"

This is not to say that Jia Yucun should not come, but because, as the prefect of Shuntian and a dignified third-rank official, Jia Yucun is already qualified to participate in the daily morning court.

But at this moment, it should be about half an hour after the early morning, and Jia Yucun came here in a hurry at this time, which is a bit unusual.

"Ah~"

Jia Yucun sighed, shook his head and said, "It's an eventful autumn, it's an eventful autumn!"

As he said that, he glanced left and right for a few times, and suddenly said with a suppressed voice: "Since we happened to bump into each other, brother, why don't you identify him for me to see if the person is real or just an imposter."

Hearing his sneakiness, Sun Shaozong quickly asked who it was, why did he need to identify it by himself.

Jia Yucun didn't want to say more, he just moved his hand back, and his sedan chair wobbled to the front under the sideways eyes of the Xihuamen guards and eunuchs.

Jia Yucun stepped forward again, opened half the car curtain, and signaled Sun Shaozong to identify it.

Seeing this, Sun Shaozong couldn't bear to look around curiously, but his eyes widened immediately.

It turned out that there was an unkempt man sitting in the sedan chair, but it turned out to be the North Korean envoy Li Enxian!

Chapter 869

When the car curtain was just raised, Li Enxian was obviously a little panicked, and subconsciously shrank back.

But seeing clearly that it was Sun Shaozong standing outside, he immediately showed joy, leaned forward, and was about to stand up and bow.
